Flashback

“Can I talk to Taeyang?” after CL agreed Taeyang followed Jiyong outside as the two seated next to each other at the bar metal chair then Jiyong called out for a drink “jack whiskey double-short here Hanbin” then second he ordered for a mixer “uh okay hyung” Hanbin gave them the drink without a talk since he was busy with the other customer, Bobby and him sometimes exchange shift.. “thanks” Taeyang said as he sip his glass of jack whiskey “so, is it about Dara?” Taeyang asked looking at none particular thing “neh, how is she?” Jiyong asked back after his answer, he wanted to know first if Taeyang has something to say “I can’t actually say, but she’s been moving on well I’m afraid its gon’ be hard for you” he eyed Jiyong giving him a serious look, Jiyong raise his brow “I know.. you don’t have to inform me, I think she likes you a lot recently.. but that won’t stop me, I’m just asking for your help” Jiyong said as he gave him a begging look, his eyes was serious and Taeyang can see determination in him “you know what, I’m scared if that will really happen.. I’ve already made a big mess, I can’t do my plans whenever she looks at me, the plans I’m doing won’t work.. I don’t know I’ve been telling CL things which I’m not sure if I can handle” Taeyang said in a sadden voice, he really pity Dara if he’ll break her heart again that easily he knows she don’t deserve to be broken again.. he massage his head feeling the head ache.. Jiyong thinks for a while feeling the pain deep inside when an idea pops in his head, though he never wanted to say this but he loves her and he is willing to give her happiness even not with him, he hesitates to say it but he has to “Be with her” Jiyong said as he took a deep breath then his voice trembles, Taeyang look at him with a ‘repeat what you say’ look “I said I love her right? And I can’t be selfish to just focus on my own feelings when she doesn’t love me anymore.. I can wait for her even it will take forever, whoever she’ll be with I won’t bother at all” he added as a tear fell down his eyes rolling down his cheeks, Taeyang look at him with pity in his eyes “you’re giving up? What about your plans just now?” Taeyang said as he eyed Jiyong not wanting to notice Jiyong’s tears to avoid awkwardness, jiyong wipes it all over as he bowed his head hiding it “I change my mind, I can’t be too selfish.. I know she’ll be happy once I’m gone, as I can see.. whenever I push myself to her she’ll just pushed me away causing for her to stay away from me even more,.. and I don’t want to let that happen, then maybe someday.. someday..” Jiyong left Taeyang hanging with his last word..

Scene: Dara’s house

Author's POV

After Days passed by,

“Dara still not going to work? I think your sick leave has expired just 4 days ago” her brother asked while dressing himself almost heading to work, “neh, I’m going later” Dara replied not looking at him cause she knows he will protest “Later? Is there a problem at work?” Dara was shocked hearing her brother finally asked about her condition instead of arguing with her, after her brother left she fix herself to go meet up with Taeyang, lately Taeyang always asked her to have a talk but she just refuse it and tell him maybe some other day.. she already has the feeling that something is going on since CL’s been acting kinda weird around her lately..

Flashback

The time when she went to CL’s house....

“ahh Dara, how was work?” CL awkwardly asked as they both seated together at the living room sofa “I was absent for awhile now, giving alibis like I’m definitely sick” Dara replied with a smile on her face, “are you okay?” Dara added when she notice CL isn’t looking directly to her, not the CL she knew.. “uh neh, just.. anyway you want something to eat or drink? Actually I’m on a diet since I’ll be having a photo shoot next week” she explained while reassuring.. Dara nods her head “then I’ll accompany you on your died” she replied that made CL chuckle, somehow she made the awkwardness go away she felt happy seeing CL’s genuine smile again “ahhh.. it feels better that way” Dara said looking at her with a meaningful stare that made CL turned serious “What do you mean Dara-ah” CL asked but deep inside her she’s not ready for any private questions Dara might ask soon “CL-yah, don’t be shocked on what I’m about to asked you..” she said as CL froze on her seat trying to smile but failed, Dara eyed her and asked “somehow, do you happen to like Taeyang?” CL wants to fake a laugh at her question but Dara was looking pretty serious “aigoo.. what kind of question is that, why would I like you boyfriend” CL said but seems like Dara knew her well “is that so” she gave her a knowing smile and added “I decided to resign and go somewhere out in seoul, I think I need a long break and out of trouble.. and I’m ready to file a resignation to the company I am working though my brother still didn’t know, I’ll let him know late so he can’t make me back up” Dara explained between breaths, CL turned silent for a minute and worriedly asked “but Dara, where would you go? It’s your first time going overseas what makes you think about that.. if you want I’ll accompany you” CL suggested but Dara wiggled her head in disagreement “Anni, I need to go alone.. Done worry I’m fine I’m older and mature now.. I think when I get back here in Seoul everything will be okay and every worries I have I will make sure to left it there” Dara replied to reassure her worried friend but then she added “please don’t be like me CL-yah, enjoy your life with someone you like, don’t waste it a guy like Taeyang is hard to find you know..” CL was about to open but Dara stops her “CL-yah, me and Taeyang is never been in a serious relationship.. I am thankful that he lend me a shoulder to cry on and he even sacrifice his self just to save me from all my problems, I’ve been a burden to him.. so please make him happy, like me, Taeyang’s been heartbroken too and after that he never had fallen in love with someone.. I can say he must have misunderstood his ADMIRATION to me, and he realized it sooner that it was just an admiration and he did li
