Singapore Part One

Pinky Promise

The next morning Dara woke up to multiple headlines that read something along the lines of "Korea's Royal Couple: Choi Seunghyun and Sandara Park." She couldn't help but laugh at the different tabloids covering their story as they all seemed to have their own stories of how the two met. The authors wrote as if they themselves were present as "the two stared at each other across the room and instantly fell in love, or "Sandara and Yoon Eunhye pulled each other's hair out in desperation to have Korea's youngest managing director by their side." Dara was used to the nonsense the media could create based on a few pictures or words said by the celebrities, but she no longer got angry at them. She was indifferent and at this point nothing could ruin her mood.

It was 9 AM and she completely dressed with a coffee mug in hand while sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Seunghyun to change. Their flight to Singapore was in 2 hours and she could not be happier. Three whole days with the man she loved sounded like heaven and she believed that they both deserved it. In the midst of her thoughts she felt her coffee mug be taken from her hands to now be placed at Seunghyun's lips.

"Excuse you, go get your own." Dara told Seunghyun playfully with a teasing glare. Seunghyun knew she wasn't being serious and only rolled his eyes as he took another sip of the french vanilla coffee.

"Excited?" Seunghyun asked as he moved over to the fridge to take out some orange juice.

"Of course, I can barely wait until our flight."

"Well we should be leaving in like an hour so we're almost there." Dara walked over to where Seunghyun's back was facing her and she wrapped her arms around his waist. Her face against his warm back.

"What happened?" Seunghyun's used one hand to pour himself a glass of orange juice, while the other caressed her hands. He twisted around now leading them to give each other a proper hug. Seunghyun's hand now her hair.

"Nothing, it just feels like after a while I woke up in the morning feeling genuinely happy and relaxed." The smile that was on Dara's face could not be removed. Or so she thought.

"Morning does that to you. I told you we should do it in the morning more often." Dara's face fell as she gave him the biggest death stare.

"I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT THAT YOU !" Dara left Seunghyun's embrace with her face turning redder by the second. Seunghyun burst out laughing as he knew he took Dara by surprise.

"Oh really? But you still need to admit that was probably the best we've ever had." Seunghyun could barely keep a straight face as he made another comment referring to their eventful morning.

"I hate you." Dara walked away from him now making her way to the living room. Seunghyun, once again, erupted into laughter as he threw his head back and tears began forming in his eyes. He quickly followed her.

"Where are you going?"

"Away from you. Stupid." Dara felt like a child for only being able to think of the word stupid to describe Seunghyun. But she felt as if it fit him perfectly, and she was tempted to stick her tongue out at him. As she was about to walk away, she felt his arms snake around her waist and pull her back onto his hard chest.

"Come on baby, I was just joking." Dara made no effort to reply.

"Are you mad? Hmm?" He bent his head down to come to level with hers. The tip of his nose was trailing along the contours of her soft face. Then when he reached her lips, he placed a small kiss at the corner of her lips. That seemed to appease her, as a small smile reached Dara's face. She turned around to face him while wrapping her arms around his neck.

"You you know that? You say I barely do anything sweet and romantic as you, but when I do. You ruin it."

"How do I ruin it?" Dara wanted to smack him.

"Are you serious? I was talking about me feeling happy because everything is resolved and we're about to go on a vacation to celebrate. But you talk about . You're such a guy."

"Hey! Just because I like that makes me a typical guy?"

"Kinda."

"I'll have you know that I happen to be very insightful and sensitive as well."

"Oh? Then where is the insightful and sensitive Choi Seunghyun?"

"I'm saving him for Singapore. If I use him now, how am I supposed to butter you up there?" Dara couldn't help but laugh at his words.

"You're such an idiot." Dara spoke the words with a playful light in her eyes as she went on his tip toes to kiss him on his lips. She surprised him by initiating the kiss to become even more intense than he thought it would be. Dara ran her fingers through his hair, still wet from his shower, and moved so close to him that there was no space between their bodies. His hold on her got tighter as the kiss went on and soon they both pulled away from each other taking in heavy breaths.

"We should start heading out." Seunghyun's voice sounded even deeper and all Dara could do was give a nod.

Their luggage was packed into the trunk of the black BMW by Seunghyun's driver. The driver was an older man who had the sweetest eyes.

"Dara meet Ahjussi, Ahjussi this is my girlfriend Dara." Seunghyun had a big smile on his face as he was proud to introduce a woman like Dara to be his girlfriend.

"Wow she really is beautiful son. You better treat her well." The man said to Seunghyun before turning over to Dara.

"This is the first time we've met. I'm Seunghyun's driver but I've known since he was a child. So if he ever troubles you just come to me and I'll set him straight." The two men seemed close and it made sense now that she knew they've known each other for years.

"Of course. Thank you for accepting me so well."

"Ahjussi is like a second father to me and I'm like his favorite son." Dara couldn't help but smile.

"That's because you're the only son. I have two daughters, Bom and Minji. They all are really close."

"Oh really? I would love to meet them one day." Dara really did look forward to meeting the nice man's family.

"Of course, I think you and Bom would hit it off." She smiled at the possibility of a new friend.

"Oh god no, not Bommie noona. You two would kill me if you were together." Now Dara really looked forward to meeting his sisters.

"We need to get going now, or else there might be traffic." The three set off to the airport while both Dara and Seunghyun said their temporary goodbyes to their family over the phone.

 

On the line to board the plane, Dara suddenly became tenser. The hand Seunghyun was holding became colder and sweaty. He looked over to Dara and realized she looked a little pale.

"Dara? Are you okay? What happened?"

"Huh? No I'm fine." Dara was distracted and couldn't look Seunghyun in the eyes.

"Hey? Are you sure?" Before Dara could answer it was their turn to enter the plane and were being led to their first class seats. They both sat down and Seunghyun began to settle down while Dara just sat there quietly. Seunghyun thought she would be bouncing with excitement by  now.

"Dara come on tell me. What's going on? Are you sick?" He was really worried and she could see it through the lines forming on his forehead as he looked at her. She let out a sigh.

"I'm really scared of flying." Her voice was a whisper, almost as if she was embarrassed.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I have a fear of flying in planes. I feel like it's going to crash and just... Sorry I know its stupid. I forgot about it until I actually came in front of the plane." Dara was looking down at her hands playing with the small ring she was wearing.

"Hey it's not stupid. If you're really worried, we can just get off the plane. We don't have to go."

"No! I want to go; I'm not going to get off the plane. Just can you deal with me? It only happens for a while and then I get better..." Dara felt shy and weird asking Seunghyun to handle her.

"Are you serious Dara? Of course. I'll be right here the whole time. You don't need to worry at all, you'll be safe. I promise." And that did make Dara feel better. Much better. As the plane took off she shook in fear but that fear subsided when she felt Seunghyun's arm come around her shoulders and she placed her face in the crook of his neck. His cologne made her feel calm and feel protected. Despite being thousands of miles up in the air, for once she felt as if it was all going to be okay.
