“Need a ride?”

 

 

She was dumbfounded.

 

 

“I said.. do you need a ride??” he asked the second time. Loudly.

 

 

“Eh?”

 

 

“Stupid.” Jiyong mumbles but Dara could hear it.

 

 

“What?”

 

 

“Nothing. Just hope in right now! Because for your information I’m in a hurry.”

 

 

Him?? I give all back those words I said.

 

 

Dara was seated beside Jiyong in the front seats.

 

No one’s talking,.. the silence is deafening her.

 

 

“Hey!!! Where are you taking me to? That’s not the way to my house.” Dara shouted as she noticed Ji’s taking a different route.

 

 

“You didn’t told me earlier where’s your house.” Ji’s really pissing off Dara.

 

 

“What??” She shouted back.

 

“Hey I’m just kidding.” He replied back. Laughing.

 

 

“I’ll be going somewhere. Specifically meeting someone.” Ji said.. eyes on the road.

 

 

“So? Why dragging me along?” Dara gritted her teeth. She’s really pissed off.

 

She shouldn’t have took the ride and just stayed their outside and wait until forever than letting this guy help her.

 

 

Jiyong didn’t answered back.

 

 

After a few minutes..

 

Jiyong stopped his car infront of a famous restaurant in their place.

 

 

Dara was shocked. She never had been to this famous restaurant.

 

“Out.” Jiyong ordered Dara…who was stunned.

 

 

“So who’s you’re going to meet?” Dara asked but Jiyong stayed silent.

 

 

Tssss.. Is he deaf?? Dara thought.

 

 

Dara and Jiyong entered the restaurant.

 

 

Jiyong led Dara to a table where a lady was sitting.

 

Jiyong seated first then pulled Dara’s arm and made her seated.

 

 

“Ouch!” Dara grumbled silently.

 

Dara couldn’t help staring and be dumbfounded by the lady in front of her.

 

She was so chic, beautiful and elegant.

 

 

“Hello there,, Kako.”

 

 

“You’re late. Super late.” The lady eyed Jiyong as if she’s going to kill Jiyong.

 

 

“And it’s Kiko. Not Kako.” She continued.

 

 

I couldn’t help but let a silent laugh.

 

 

“So who’s this with you?” She raised her eyebrows.

 

 

Dara widen her eyes.

 

 

“She’s my girlfriend. And she’s not , .” Jiyong replied back. Still eyeing Kiko.

 

 

Whatt??Girlfriend?? Jiyong you’re the one who’s the ! Dara widen her eyes more.

 

 

“What??? Heh, anyway, I don’t care.” Kiko stood up. But her eyes were obviously getting watery. She was like about to cry.

 

 

 

“I’ll just tell your grandpa what happened. So good luck!” She said before she left.

 

 

“Well, good luck too!! Bwahahaha!” Jiyong shouted at her.

 

Dara stomped at Jiyong’s foot.

 

 

“Yaaahhh! Ouch!! Why did you do that??” This time.. it’s Jiyong who’s shouting at Dara.

 

 

“Bwae??! Me your girlfriend? Is this the exchange of your help to me?? Tsssk! You are so so evil!”

 

 

“Hey! Hey! I just want to pissed that Kako woman!” Jiyong followed Dara to the car.

 

 

She was really angry.

 

Jiyong drove her home without the two speaking and talking to each other.

 

 

Jiyong’s POV

 

 

Jiyong couldn’t sleep the night after the incident happened at the restaurant.

 

He was a jerk. He shouldn’t do that. He shouldn’t drag Dara along and tagged her into his silly and stupid plan.

 

 

He knew Dara and him didn’t get along well even right from the start.

 

But that doesn’t mean he’ll just hurt and do something stupid to her.

 

 

He really need to talk to Dara and apologize but couldn’t do it because he wouldn’t let his ego down and say the word ‘sorry’. It’s been a long time he said that sincerely.

 

Why should I say sorry to her? Who is she? HE was trying his best to convince his self.

 

But every time he does that. He fails.

 

Dara is different. And he doesn’t know why.

 

 

He really loves to play around with her but at the same time he is concerned about her and don’t want to make her angry or sad.

 

 

Days passed and still he couldn’t have the guts to talk to her.

 

He seems missed her already. He chose to be absent rather than see her but couldn’t have the courage to face her.

 

Three consecutive nights, he can’t sleep properly. Not because of partying but from thinking about her.

 

 

“Arrggh!! What’s wrong with me??!!!” Jiyong shouted and threw the wine glass he’s holding on the floor.

 

 

“Master Kwon! Is there anything wrong?” His butler Hwangssabu hurriedly entered the his private bar room in his mansion.

A lot. Jiyong said to himself.

 

 

“Nothing.” Jiyong simply replied and stood up.

 

 

“Master Kwon, Seungri called and asked if you’re free tonight and if you’re okay. He said why are you not answering their calls.” Butler Hwangssabu said while bowing.

 

 

But Jiyong didn’t replied. Instead he made an exit and went directly to his room.

 

 

He checked his phone and realized there were many calls and texts he missed and failed to read from all of his friends. Including his grandfather. For sure, His grandfather has now a bunch of scolding to do to him. Especially now that he’s ignoring his calls and messages.

 

 

 

Dara’s POV

 

 

 

Dara’s having this weird feeling that something is going on.. and that something is bad.

 

 

Girls mostly in their class except for Bom, Chaerin and Minzy were staring at her with deadly looks.

 

Not just in their class.

 

But also in the other class..

"Bommie? Have you sensed something weird?" Dara whispered to Bom who was seated beside her.

 

"Uhmm, I don't know. Maybe. But just let it pass and let's see what we can do." Bom replied back.

 

Girls were ignoring her as if she’s sick and has a contagious disease.

 

Girls were whispering to each other when she passes by while staring at her with jealousy and envious.

 

And as days past by.. it became worst.

 

She would receive death threat notes in her locker.

 

 

 

>>>>Dara Park!!! Be prepared! You'll be dead soon!<<<<

 

This was the 10^th note she received since 3 days ago.

 

 

“Bwoahh??!” She was both surprised and scared.

 

“Hey, what’s wrong Dara?” Taeyang asked.

 

“Ahh,,nothing.” Dara lied and hid the note on her back.

 

“Just give it to me Dara.” Bae sensed that Dara is lying. Then he grabbed the note in her hands without an effort.

 

 

After reading it. Youngbae’s expression turned clouded.

 

 

“You should be careful Dara. But don’t you worry. Just stick to me. I’ll protect you from any harm.” Youngbae said with a smile.

 

 

Dara gulps. She’s glad that Youngbae’s with her and ready to protect her. He’s so sweet. Dara thought. Duh, Dara ofcourse, he’s your friend. She scolded herself.

 

Youngbae and Dara were walking though the hallway when she suddenly almost bumped someone.

 

 

 "Jiyong" she seemed surprised but not so happy to see him.

 

He’s been absent for the past 4 days.

 

She hasn’t talked to him since the incident in the restaurant happened. She was really angry about that. She was not ignoring him but at the same time she have no interest in talking to him also.

 

“Can I talk to you for a sec.?” he simply said, with his infamous plain expression.

 

“Can I borrow Dara Youngbae?” he smiled at Youngbae and the two exchange their hugs.

 

 

“Jiyong, take care of Dara and don’t leave her being alone okay?” Youngbae whispered at him.

 

Jiyong was confused why he said that.

 

 

“What? Yah sure.” Youngbae replied back.

 

 

“But if it’s okay with Dara.” He continued.. realizing Dara’s blank expression.

 

“Uhmm.. Dara I’ll just wait for you in the cafeteria” Youngbae said while continue walking.

 

But without any hesitations.. Jiyong grabbed Dara’s arm and led her to the corner.

 

 

“Hey, Are you still angry?” Jiyong asked.

 

 

“What do you think?” Dara said plainly.

 

 

“Sheez,, what’s with the fuzz?, I just did that just to pissed off that Kako girl. I mean Kaka. Duh, whatever her name is.” Jiyong said.

 

Kako girl? Dara couldn’t help but laugh.

 

 

“Hey why are you laughing?” Jiyong said in confusion.

 

 

“Nothing.” She said while laughing in between.

 

 

She’s cute when she smiles and laughs.

Jiyong thoughts are backing up.

 

 

 

“So, that’s all? You are not going to say anything?” Dara raised her eyebrows.

 

 

“What do you mean?” Jiyong replied back.

 

 

“Ah, okay, we’re not cool in the first place to think of.. so it’s doesn’t matter anymore.” Dara was about to leave.

 

 

“Hey, hey! Okay, You win.” Jiyong stopped her from walking away.

 

 

“I’m sorry.” Jiyong said immediately.

 

 

“I’m sorry , I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” He repeated it many times.

 

Jiyong’s really not bad after all. He seems nice and kind. Dara thought.

 

“Yah, fine! You don’t have to repeat it over and over again!” Dara laughed.

 

 

“So, friends?” Jiyong offered his hand for a handshake.

 

 

Ouch! Why the friends bothered her? Dara! What’s the hell wrong with you? She thought.

 

 

“Ofcourse.” Dara gave her a handshake and smiled back.

 

Dara was unaware that some girls were staring at her with envy in their eyes and whispers could be heard, audible enough for Jiyong to hear.

 

"Oh my god!! It’s really true!" "Is she really his girlfriend?" “We're prettier than she is. Look at her!”

 

Jiyong heard all these. He looked at the girls with narrowed eyes. However, the girls thought that they've caught his attention. But they were wrong because there was nothing in his eyes that signified he was pleased neither with the attention he's getting nor with the whispering.

 

Dara who was now aware of what's happening, whispered to him "Had they been staring at me us like that since I talked to you?" Jiyong nodded.

 

 

"Looks like I have to go before your girlfriends tear me apart," she.

 

She was about to head down the cafeteria when she remembered something. She bolted back again and said with a smile "Jiyong, thanks for the ride and the help."

 

 

"Yah yah! It’s my pleasure” Jiyong replied back. after that, she hurried down the hall, her apple hair style bouncing behind her.

 

"It’s really my pleasure Dara." he said, even though she can't hear him anymore. 

The he remembers what Youngbae said to him awhile ago.. What does he mean? I'll just ask Youngbae later about it.

Jiyong couldn't help but to be worried about it.

Especially now that Dara accepted him to be her 'friend'.

All he want to do is to protect her and do anything to make her happy.

There's nothing wrong about that right? That's what a friend should do. He was talking to his self again.

NEXT CHAPTER:

 

Dara was running as fast as she can..

But she doesn’t know where she will go.

 

Little by little her clothes are tearing off.

 

She can see eyes and hear laughs around her.

 

Laughs by girls.

 

 

Someone grabbed her shirt, tear off.

 

Until all hands are now on her body..

 

She couldn’t move or fight back.

 

Until..

 

 

“kyahhhh!!! She screams.. She was now .

 

 

People who’s faces she couldn’t determine are now laughing at her.

 

 

She hugged herself and cries.
