'It doesn't feel the same,’ Dara thought to herself as she sees Woobin interact with her parents.

He was in the middle of telling them one of his model adventures when she notices that her parents were so engrossed with him; they were hanging on his every word. At the same time, Dara felt the same way. There was something unusual with him. Her attraction towards him was of no simple reason.
