As Jihyo walked toward the hotel, her heart started pounding.  It had almost been two months since she had seen Dara, and it had been a solid month since she last spoke to her.  In the beginning, they talked every day, but as their schdules became busier, they spoke less and less, until a month had passed and their communication had ceased completely.  There wasn't any reason behind it, things just turned out that way, because of their hectic lives.

Jihyo's original plan was to surprise Dara, but as she was standing outside the venue, waiting for the concert to start, she realized that Dara might not even want to see her.  Perhaps what they shared on The Girls' House was nothing more than a fling.  Despite these thoughts, she somehow ended up outside of the hotel dara was staying at...

Jihyo slowly started making her way towards the entrance of the hotel.  As she opened the door and stepped inside, she thought to herself, "I suppose it's now or never.  Even if Dara doesn't feel the same way I do about her, I can't contain my feelings.  I need to see her.  I need to tell her how I feel.  I need to apologize for letting my schedule come in between us."

Dara was upstairs in the hotel room she was sharing with Minzy.  Both were exhausted from the performance.

"Ah, I'm so tired.  It was a fun show, but it took a lot out of me." - Minzy

"Haha, I know what you mean." - Dara

"Can you believe that YG gave us the rest of the week off?  What are you planning to do?" - Minzy

"I know, right?!  I'm not sure yet.  What about you?" - Dara

"I don't know either.  I might try and do some shopping while we're here." - Minzy

"Good idea.  Maybe I'll join you." - Dara

"That'd be gre..." - Minzy

[Minzy was cut off by a knock at the door]

"I wonder who that could be." - Minzy

"Hmm I don't know.  It probably is CL or Bom." - Dara

Dara stood up and headed towards the door.  Thinking it was one of her groupmates, she didn't even bother looking through the peeophole, and swung the door open.  To her surprise, standing in front of her was none other than Jihyo.

The two girls just stood there looking at each other, neither one knowing what to say.

[Minzy got up from bed and made her way to the door]

"Oh my gosh!  What are you doing here Jihyo?!" - Minzy

"Oh, umm...I just finished filming my new movie and had some free time, so I thought would come see you guys perform." - Jihyo

"You traveled all this way just to see us perform?!  Haha, I'm sure you could have caught a show in Korea." - Minzy

"Haha, you're probably right.  Sometimes I don't think things through properly.  Anyways, you guys put on a really good performance.  I'm glad to have made the trip out here." - Jihyo

"I'm happy that you enjoyed it, but why didn't you tell us you were here?" - Minzy

"I didn't want to trouble you guys.  Besides, I was okay being just a normal fan for a day." - Jihyo

"Dara, aren't you going to say hello?!" - Minzy

"...Hey Jihyo, long time no see." - Dara

"Hi Dara.  Yeah, it's been awhile hasn't it?" - Jihyo

"Wow, okay guys, this is awkward.  I mean you guys were on the same reality show for 6 months.  I know the show wrapped up almost 2 months ago, but didn't you get comfortable with one another?!  After all, you two shared a room!  I don't know what happened, but you two should stop being so weird.  I'm going to CL and Bom's room.  Talk it out." - Minzy

[Minzy leaves the room and heads next door]

"So...I'm sorry if I'm intruding.  I wasn't sure if you wanted to see me.  I know it's been awhile since we last spoke, so I wanted to apologize about that.  I also wanted to let you know..." - Jihyo

Before she could finish, Dara wrapped her arms tightly around Jihyo and whispered softly into her ear, "I missed you."  Jihyo buried her face into Dara's shoulder and cried.  In between sobs, she managed to get the words out, "I missed you too."  Dara grabbed Jihyo's hands and looked deeply into her eyes:

"I'm glad you're here.  I haven't stopped thinking about you since the show ended." - Dara

"I was so worried that you didn't love me anymore, because we haven't seen or talked to each other in so long." - Jihyo

"Silly girl, I could never stop loving you.  We were both really busy, it couldn't be helped." - Dara

Jihyo pulled Dara close and placed her hands against the latter's face.  Jihyo gently spoke the words, "I love you so much."  And with that, she pressed her lips against Dara's, and the two shared a passionate kiss.  After some time, Dara pulled away, and just as she was about to say something, she put her hand over in surprise.  Jihyo looked at Dara and then turned around.  Both had been so consumed with each other that neither one of them had noticed that they had acquired an audience.  Standing in the doorway was Minzy, CL, and Bom.
