Dara POV

“I’m okay!!” I shouted. Face still pressed on the floor.

Damn this clumsy & frail body of mine who failed to follow my brain again.

Tell me…Are there any grown woman who jump from a stage only 2 ft. high, trip on their own feet mid air & fall flat on their face?!! Ghad!! Trip mid air & only 2 ft. high!! 2 ft. high!! NO ONE!! ONLY ME!! Sandara Park the clumsy dimwit!!

I winced secretly and tried to maintain my “I’m-really-okay” face while getting up.

“Are you okay?” a deep husky voice void of any concern asked.

I looked up & saw an outstretched hand. I continued my eyes up his arm and ended on…wow!!

Hmm… not bad. Not bad at all.

“Hey… I asked if you’re okay & will you stand up now?” he asked again. Now there’s a slight irritation in his voice.

*blush*

I blushed slightly & murmured thanks as I took his hand & got up.

*gasp*

I looked sharply to my right as another set of hands held my waist to help me steady up.

Oohhh… another one? Not bad too.

He smiled slightly. I felt my heart skip a beat at his smile. I looked again at the man in front of me who helped me first & again felt my heart skip a beat.

Am I in heaven? Why are there gorgeous guys appearing all of a sudden?

My neighbours flocked around me & pummelled me with concerned questions.

“NOONAA!! OMG!! Are you okay?!!”

I winced slightly as yoseob rushed by my side & shouted those words while hugging choking me.

“She’s okay but her ears won’t be…dummy” Sanghyun snapped as he pried yoseob’s hands off me & inspected if I’m okay.

“Hey Ahjumma…nice…jump” Mir said grinning.

Argggh!! This brat!!

“Thanks… you should try it sometimes… It’s fun” I replied sarcastically.

“Nah… Byunghee hyung should be the one to do it since he’s the vocalist” he retorded back.

“Uh no thanks… Only noona can do that & make it look fun” Byunghee replied & high fived with the maknae while laughing.

“Ow!!”

“Ow!!”

“You were saying?” I asked & grinned when as they silently shook their heads after I flicked their noses.

“Hey sis…nice uh…yeah” Bom grinned sheepishly as I glared at her.

“Dara Unnie!! Are you okay?” Mingkki asked as she inspects me too.

“What happened? Did someone push you?” Chaerin asked worriedly and glared at Mir who threw his hands up in mock surrender.

“Hello too Chaerin & Mingkki and no, nobody pushed me. I’m just being… Dara again”

I turned to the elders still fussing over me & bowed apologetically.

“Thank you all for the concern but I’m okay and I’m really really sorry for causing trouble again”

“It’s okay Sandara but like we always say, be careful!! You always run or trip into things, we’re worried you’ll get seriously hurt one of this days…be more careful okay?” Yang Hyun Suk ahjussi said & patted my head before walking away with the other elders.

“Uh Ahjussi” I called making him look back. I smiled sheepishly.

“Please don’t tell umma… you know how worried she can be”

He smiled & nodded.

“Thank you for-” I turned to the two guys who helped me up & stopped mid sentence.

Huh? Where did they go?

“Noona… who are you talking to?” Joon asked curiously.

*blink blink*

I turned to him, unable to respond. Are they just a product of my imagination?

After that chaos I created the rest of the night run smoothly. I sat silently at one table & pondered hard if I’m just hallucinating or not. Did the fall made me hallucinate? But that wasn’t such a sever fall!!

I’m a professional photographer so I’m always surrounded by beautiful people. Some of them even tried to flirt with me but none of them made me curious as with the two mysterious guys. Maybe because their looks are what every photographer dreamed of capturing on film.

One guy has this untamed aura in him, even though he looks cool & calm and his lips…full luscious lips. God!! I would die to have lips like him!!

The other guy has eyes full of playfulness yet he gives off an innocent aura that resembles a child’s. I don’t know but he just seems so fragile & innocent.

*sigh*

“Dara, I’m bored… let’s go home already” Bom whined for the 3^rd time besides me.

“Gaetong you coming home too?” I asked Sanghyun & he shook his head.

“Okay, we’d head on first…Bom, let’s go to ahjussi first” I answered. Bom must be really bored because she’s been giving me this weird looks like she has a secret I don’t know.

BLAGH!!

Waaah!!! You Lesbo!!

Bom & I were already on the door when we heard Joon screamed. We turned & saw him…sprawled on the floor with Chaerin walking away nonchalantly.

“What was that?” I asked as she walked towards us.

“Oh… nothing. Let’s go. I’ll walk you beautiful Unnies to your house” she said grinning.

Bom & I shook our heads as we head out.

What a tiring day!!

-The next day-

“Waah!! Good morning world!!” I screamed as I head out our door.

It’s my rest day & as usual I go to my favourite spot in our neighbourhood. The park.

Today I plan to just lie down on the soft grass & just read my new manga. Reading inside my room all day just gives me headaches.

I’m not embarrassed to read my mangas in work especially here because everyone knows & accept that weird habit of mine.

I pulled out from my bag the new volume of my favourite series & excitedly walked faster as I neared the park and then it happened again.

Waaah!!!

I fell flat on my face again…early in the morning... as the manga flew somewhere else.

I murmured curses as I stood up & dusted my shorts.

“Hmm… what’s this?”

I looked up & saw someone picked up the flying manga.  

“Oh that’s mine!! Thank-”

Oh…It’s him!! Gorgeous guy number 1!! He’s not a hallucination!!

 I smiled sweetly and was about to speak again when I saw his brows furrowed as he scanned the pages of the manga.

I felt my blood drained from my face then rushed up again as realization hit me.

I’m not embarrassed to read here because everyone knew but for a stranger…a gorgeous stranger… to discover & read one of my manga…a rather explicit one… In front of me… Early in the morning…. That’s embarrassing…even for me.

Waah!!! He’s reading it!! He’s reading it!!

He looked up. Face unreadable as he walked towards me.

I smiled sheepishly.

Oh crap. This is embarrassing.
