During our dinner I was still drown with the memories of my first kiss earlier… many thoughts are running in my head… why did he do that…? Why was he suddenly like that..? Is he just playing with me..? But why did I respond to his kiss..? And, But why me..? Of all people, why me..?! Unconsciously I hit the table quite hard so my mom and my other siblings looked at me immediately.
“Dara…are you okay..?” Mom said as she reached for my hand
“Yes mom… I’m fine sorry about that… I just remembered something..” I said as I started eating
“Are you sure coz you’ve been acting strange since you came home from school” she said
“No mom, really I’m fine… there are just a lot of activities at school… that’s all…” I tried to force a laugh
“Ah… don’t stress yourself too much dear… if only your dad’s here… you wouldn’t have to do your hardest…” she said sadly…
I don’t want to remember about Dad again but whenever mom’s worried about me, she would always talks about Dad… well maybe if he’s here our lives wouldn’t be this difficult, maybe I wouldn’t have to try my best just to maintain my scholarship at school… maybe my other siblings wouldn’t be studying at public schools and maybe I don’t have to work every night just to help mom in paying the bills and debt which Dad left us…
Our lives wasn’t as difficult as now back then when Dad didn’t leave us yet, we were actually living in luxury and our family was full of love… but when dad’s company got bankrupt, everything had change… at first we all thought we could get through it but Dad lost his strength and gave up… he left us trapped with his debts but even though that happened, I couldn’t make myself to blame and hate him since after all, he’s still my father… I’m just hoping that he’ll come back to us and face these difficulties together.

I’ve been working every night for the past four years at the nearby convenience store, at first it was hard to do studying and work at the same time but as time goes by I got used to it. And since my shift is every night, most of the time I use it to study since there are only few customers during that time.
“Hey Dara… why are you so dull tonight…? Bom said… she’s my best friend and the one who directed me to this job
“Nothing… so much school work…” I lied… I’m still bothered by that ‘opportunist’s’ motives… he is starting to scare me especially now that he knew where I am living at.
“Ah… okay… well you know what… the boy that I’m telling you about these past few days… well I got him now…” she said as she flickered her eyelashes… that’s one of her hobbies, aside from eating corns during work… she also like collecting boys… but I never judged her because I know she’s kind.
“Who..? That Donghae guy..? or Eun… Eunhyuk…? Then what about your boyfriend, Teddy right…?” Im getting confused already because of so many names of boys she’s being mingled with.
“Dara no..! Who are you talking about..? Can’t you remember Changmin…? And about Teddy… well I already break up with him three days ago…” she said as she munched on her corn
“What…? Three days ago…? And you already have a new one…!?” I said
“Dara-ah… as if you don’t know me… but seriously, I think he’s the one… “she said dreamingly
“Hmm… you always say that whenever you have a new guy…” I said… she just rolled her eyes and continued munching on her corn.
After a while, we still don’t have any customers so it’s a great chance for me to study… I pulled out the books inside my bag and I was about to open one when my phone started to vibrate… I checked it and I got pissed when I saw ‘It’s me’ appeared on my screen… I opened it just to be surprised on what’s written on his message…
From: It’s me
Heya Babe… what ya doing…?
‘What’s with the babe… all of a sudden…!’ I thought… I immediately replied to him
Dara:
Babe…?
I think you send it to the wrong person
I waited for a while but he didn’t reply… I think he really planned to send it to someone else and made a mistake to send it to me… as if he’ll call me ‘babe’ what am I thinking…? I was at the middle of studying when my phone vibrated again… I looked on it and it’s from him…
From: It’s me
No… BABE… this message is only for you….
Now… what ya doing…? :rolleyes:
Is he serious…?!? How dare him call me babe… what am I a pig…?!?
Dara:
Yah…! Why are you calling me ‘babe…!’
what do you think of me…? A pig…?!
He’s really taking a long time answering my message… I tapped my fingers furiously on the counter waiting for his reply … I totally forgot about studying…
From: It’s me
No babe… of course ur not a pig… ur too beautiful to be a pig
If you don’t want me to call you babe then I’ll just call u baby…
Now, what ya doing…?
Why does he keep on asking me what am I doing…? Did he just call me beautiful…? But no..! He’s not in the right mind…! Baby…?! What the…!
Dara:
Baby…?!
No…! Don’t call me anything…!
I have my own name…!
Then another wait… he’s really pissing me off…!
From: It’s me
Then baby it is…!
Now, baby… what ya doing…?
Arghh…! I can’t believe this…! He’s really good at annoying someone because right now, I’m fuming with so much annoyance…! Why does he keep on asking me that same question…! I feel sorry for my phone because I could see that my keypads are sinking deeply because of my strong typing…
Dara:
Stop calling me anything…!
Can’t you understand that…?!
And stop asking me what am I doing…!!
I’m busy…! Bye…!
From: It’s me
I understand you clearly baby
Oh you’re busy…? With what..?
Baby don’t stress yourself too much
No Dara… don’t reply on his messages again…. But… I remember him saying that if I don’t reply he’ll spread our picture… oh my ghad… why do I have to mingle myself with this creature…?
“Yah… Dara…! Why are you staring at your cell phone like that and oh… No cell phones during work…!” Our manager said
“Ah… yes… I’m sorry sajangnim…”
I replied quickly scared that I might piss him off and spread our picture
Dara:
I have work…!
Talk to you next time…!
Tnx for the concern…!
But before I turned my phone off… he immediately replied… what the…! Earlier it took him a decade just to reply on my message then now, without even a minute passed he already typed in his message…
From: It’s me
Aw… ur welcome
then, take care baby…
See u at school tomorrow…!
Gudnyt…!
Mwahh…!
What the…! Why am I blushing..? it’s just a text… and it was just an expression… but still ‘Mwahh?’ it still remind me of our kiss… No way… I feel like I’m going insane… Argghh that jerk… why is he doing this to me…?
[Jiyong’s POV]
After having fun with the boys… I went home and directly to my room… my parents aren’t home again…. While lying down on my bed I remembered Dara… then a smile crept on my face… I’m planning to piss her off tonight…
After sending my first message, I already knows that it pissed her just by the reply she gave me… she sure is fast in typing a message… but just to annoy her more… I want her to wait long for my reply… I want her to long for me and miss me… then there goes my plan of annoying her… totally succeeded…
She has a work…? At this time…? But what do I care… as long as I annoy her… but crap…! I replied to her fast when I knew that she’ll be working already… but I’m sure she’ll not notice and if she will, I know that she’ll be all giddy about my fast reply… girls tssk….

[Dara’s POV]
The next day… I feel so sleepy because I spent time studying more before going to sleep when I came back home this morning… even I spent just a little time exchanging messages with that jerk, time is valuable for me whether its short or long… when I arrived at school, I immediately flopped down to my seat and to steal some time sleeping before the teacher comes.
Then he came… earlier than usual… he sat down on his seat then faced back to me… I felt his hot breath as he whispered to my ears…
“Hey… baby… I missed you… can’t wait for our next kissing session…” he said seductively
I quickly felt awake and immediately faced him…
“What…?! I’ll never kiss you again…! You jerk…!” I yelled…
After a while… everything I said sunk into me… he’s now facing forward while my classmates are all looking at me…
‘Oh God…. Why me…?’
