Dara's POV

Can I really do it? I sigh. This has been the nth time I asked myself.

I need to do it. I have to do it. After all, this is what I planned. But I am so nervous.

I looked at the mirror. My long wavy hair is tied lightly. I wore white sleeveless ruffle dress that up to my middle thigh only. Black stilettos. And a pink lipstick.

It's like I am seeing a different person. Thanks to that beauty salon at the city center, I really didn't knew anything about fashion.

Tomorrow, I will go back at Seoul. So I need to do my mission tonight.

I inhale deeply then was about leave the comfort room when my phone rings.

I smiled. "Oppa."

My brother, Seunghyun starts to sing a birthday song. I checked my watch, it's morning at Seoul already.

I giggled. "Thank you."

He chuckled. "You're welcome. It's your first birthday without me around."

I groan. "Oh come on. Stop saying that, my conscience is attacking me again."

He laugh. "Just kidding. Where are you?"

I stopped. I immediately locked the comfort room's door. Silently. "I am at a cafe."

"Are you sure?"

"Y-yeah."

"Why I can't hear anything?"

Damn. He is really an observer. "I am at the bathroom." Well, at least I am telling the truth this time.

"Ssantokki, are you not doing anything bad right?"

I gasped. "Oppa! What kind of question is that?"

He sigh. "Take care okay?"

"Yeah. You too." Then he ended the call.

I let out a sigh. Good thing, he didn't prolong the talk. He will definitely know that I am lying.

Suddenly, memories filled my mind. What happened a week ago.

"What is these for?" Seunghyun wave the airplane ticket that I purchased online. "And it's on the day of your birthday."

"I just wanted to celebrate it differently."

"Without us?"

I pout my lips then hold his arm. "Let me go please?"

He sigh. "Did Mom and Dad already knew about these?"

I nodded. "They will only let me if you will."

He smirked. "What if I won't?"

"Oppa! I'm turning 29 next week."

He laugh. "Fine. Be a good girl."

"Geez! You sound an old man."
