“Unnie! Look who decided to join us!” Dara exclaimed dragging Kiko to where Bom and Siwon were seated.    “YAH! Dara!” Jiyong ran after them but Dara didn’t mind him.    They stopped in front of Bom and Siwon and the Yangs suddenly had this tensed look surrounding them making the SM idols wonder why.    “Uhmm… Unnie… Anneong.” Kiko nervously greeted Bom.    “Unnie?” Bom asked her raising an eyebrow.    “Not good. Not good. Not good.” Seungri muttered while Daesung nodded his head.    “Oh.. sorry… Bom-ssi..” Kiko said taking what she said back. Everyone looked from Kiko to Bom and from Bom to Dara.    “That’s better.” Bom suddenly smiled making everyone including Kiko sigh in relief. “Grab a sit somewhere and eat.”    Dara smirked and headed towards her table with Donghae.    “What’s happening?” Heechul asked Seungri.    “Hyung. Be prepared. You know the computer game minesweeper?” Seungri told Heechul in a low voice so that Bom won’t be able to hear him. “It’s like that. You never know when you’re going to click on a bomb unless you become observant with the clues. Same like now, one wrong click from that girl and Bom Noona will explode in a manner that will leave you traumatized for the rest of you life.”    “I heard that.” Bom suddenly blurted from the other table sending chills down the spine of Seungri.    “Come, let’s sit with Dara.” Jiyong said grabbing Kiko’s hand and walking towards Dara’s table.      “What are you doing?” Dara asked when Jiyong let Kiko sit across from her.    “We’re eating dinner here. This was your suggestion right? You wanted to do this right? So deal with it.” Jiyong said sternly.    Dara, Donghae, Yongbae, Jiyong, Kiko, and Yuri were seated in one table. The next table were consists of Eunhyuk, CL, Shindong, Tiffany, Ryeowook, Sungmin and Hyoyeon. The next table were Yoona, Minzy, Kyuhun, Seungri, Heechul and Daesung. The last table was Bom, Siwon, Top, Sooyoung and Leeteuk.   “Wow! This is delicious food! I’m so happy I’m friends with you Ryeowook!” Yongbae exclaimed as he devoured on the food on the table.    “Ah oppa! Ssabu will get mad at you!” Dara reminded him of their physical trainer but Yongbae acted like he didn’t hear her.        “So… Donghae-shii… what attracted you most to Dara?” Kiko suddenly blurted while everyone is in the middle of their dinner.    Donghae halted from eating and looked at Dara who in return smiled back at him.    “She caught my attention the very first time I saw her. It was when they went to Big Bang’s Inkigayo performance. Then when we came across the fashion show Siwon had to do, that’s when I got her number and we started to get to know each other.” Donghae answered Kiko but his eyes were glued on Dara.    “Oooh is that so? What do you like most about Dara. Except for being a Yang?” Kiko asked again. This time the other table heard this as well and Heechul rolled his eyes and was about to say something only Donghae beat him to it.    “First of, I never asked Dara out because she was a Yang. I asked her out because she had my attention from the very first time she smiled at me. Second, I asked her out because the more I get to know her, the more I see how wonderful of a human being she is.” Donghae corrected Kiko while still staring at Dara.    “Oh gosh I think I’m gonna puke at these cheesiness!” CL suddenly blurted out and everyone laughed.    “This is the first time I saw Donghae Oppa like this!” Yoona revealed to them.    “You should’ve seen him during the first he was sending her messages. He was fidgeting always, talking to himself, I remember when he first sent a text he kept muttering…” Eunhyuk started telling off secrets while Donghae glares at him trying to stop him.    “pls answer! Pls answer! Pls answer!” Shindong finishes off the sentence with Eunhyuk and reached out for a high-five.    “AH! YAH!” Donghae stood up and pointed at Eunhyuk.    “Right! Right! And when someone suddenly texted he went: OTTOKE SHE REPLIED!!!” Leeteuk tried to re-enact the moment.    Everyone was laughing except for Jiyong who looked like he was even more pissed on hearing the story. Kiko noticed this and started to ask another question.    “So where do you go on dates? Like have you tried watching a movie?” Kiko asked and suddenly the YG girls stopped and looked pale.  Dara stopped from giggling too when she heard the question.    Seungri and Daesung looked at each other while Yongbae sighed.    “We usually just dine out. We actually haven’t gone out on a date that was just us two. Usually the members are with us or we just hang out at their house.” Donghae answered smiling at Kiko.    “Aww… maybe sometime we can watch together the four of us. Right Ji? Or even go boating!” Kiko suggested excitedly.    Bom suddenly smashed her chopsticks on the table startling everyone.    “Uh-oh” Seungri whispered while Daesung shook his head.    Dara has this phobia with dark places. She suffocates and gets anxiety attacks. She also gets anxiety attacks with the sea. YG has taken her to the best doctors but still her trauma from her childhood still taunts her. Their family is aware of this they’re just not sure if Jiyong told Kiko.    Bom was about to scream at Kiko but Donghae again beat her to it.    “Yeah maybe. Only I’m not really fond of watching movies in the movie house, Or  going out to the sea. Something about the sea scares me!” Donghae suddenly said.    The SM idols looked at each other but kept quiet. They all know Donghae was lying and he loves to go swimming but since Bom is now in a bad mood no one dared to talk back anymore.      --        “THE LITTLE MERMAID!!!” Heechul and Daesung both screamed as Yoona tried very hard in acting the movie she picked. Seungri and Kyuhun are laughing so hard at Yoona with the awkward actions she was making.      The gang were now playing charades except for Donghae, Dara, Siwon, Bom, Kiko and Jiyong. They were all in pairs behind the gang watching them do foolish actions.    “You ok?” Donghae nudged Dara who has been quiet ever since they finished eating dinner.    “Yeah. Just thinking about something.” Dara nodded.    “Hmmm… I hope it’s me you’re thinking about.” Donghae said while looking over Daesung  who is next in the game.    Dara stared at Donghae long enough for the guy to feel awkward. “What?” Donghae asked looking back at her.    “I’m afraid of cinema houses.” Dara suddenly blurted. “Not just cinema houses. I’m afraid of dark and crowded places. I get…”    “Anxiety attacks.” Donghae finished her sentence for her.    Dara stared in Donghae with disbelief. “How did you?”    “And you’re afraid of the ocean, river, or any running water that has a current.” Donghae said as he continued to watch the others continue playing charades.    “You know?” Dara asked him again.    Donghae turned to look at her and nodded.    “How?” Dara said while her eyebrows are raised.    “There was one time when we had to pick up Minzy from her dance class only the lights of the elevator was broken and it was blinking. I noticed how pale you got and ever since then every time we ride the elevator you get bullets of sweat on your forehead even if the lights were ok. That’s when I started pretending I needed to exercise so let’s just use the stairs.” Donghae explained smiling at Dara.    “Remember when we went biking by the Han River? And everyone else tried to get closer to the river bank and take pictures? I noticed that you wanted to be at the far end of the road. When you and your family are out of town I ask you where your siblings are and you say they went swimming and you’re alone by yourself reading a book. That’s when I figure out you don’t like the water.” Donghae continued.    Dara blushed, she now realizes how attentive Donghae is to her actions. Donghae started to laugh at Shindong who was trying so hard to put into actions the movie Home Alone.    “Don’t you want to know why I get anxiety attacks?” Dara asked wondering why Donghae never asked her about it.    “Do you want to tell me why you got that?” Donghae asked.    Dara couldn’t answer. The reason was deep and she’s not sure if she really is ready to unfold her past to Donghae. She wants to be with this guy but is her love enough to cover for the rotten past she had?    Donghae noticed that Dara couldn’t really give an answer so he held her hand and looked at her straight in the eye. “Hey. You don’t have to tell me anything that you’re not ready to tell. If you think there’s a right time for it then go. I don’t really give a about that stuff in the past. Your past will always be part of your present. And if you think you’re ready to tell me then I will listen.”    Dara stared at him. What did I do to deserve such a wonderful man like this? Dara thought to herself. The last man who was like this to him was Il Woo and when he was gone there was this empty space in Dara’s heart longing for such a man to return into her life.    “What’s wrong?” Donghae wondered why Dara was speechless.    “I don’t know what to say.” Dara answered honestly.    Donghae smiled. “How about, thank you oppa for organizing such a fun camping night with out families?”    Dara couldn’t believe how mature Donghae is in taking all of this. Even if her oppas are giving him a hard time he was always there beside her. Now that he found out she had a traum
