“Uhm…. Jiyong… Can we just take the bus….?”
The sun’s set high… we were both about to go, with him about to open the door of his car for me…
He looked up to me… and I know he’s thinking weird of me right now…
“Bus…? Why bus…? I have my car…”
“Well… just for a change… have you rode a bus before…?”
“Eh…? Well… maybe… back then… I don’t know… why should I ride a bus when I have my car…?”
His voice is starting to sound annoyed… aigoo…!! I just want him to experience some normal life…!
“Come on…! You should try riding it…! Isn’t it boring if you always ride your car…”
His eyebrow finally went down… and for the nth time he sighed… he closed the door of his car and nodded.
“Fine…”
I cheered and delight and was about to start my track when he suddenly held my hand… I turned to him but he just looked at wonderingly… aigoo… are we always suppose to hold hands while walking…?!! I’m not even his freaking girl friend…!
“What…?”
He suddenly asked me as I was looking down at our now interlocked hands… I shook my head and just started to walk with him on my side… I could feel him tightening his hold onto my hand once in a while… is my hand a stress ball…?! Aigoo…! I’m afraid once he let go of my hand it would be all broken…! Then suddenly I heard him giggle… I turned back to him but he just looked at me innocently… aisht…! Is he making fun of me again…?!
We reached the bus stop with some couple of people also waiting for the bus…
The girls immediately had their eyes towards us once we got there… and I know those eyes were directed towards the jerk by my side… and I’m sure he’s enjoying every bit of the attention…! Aisht…!! Such a flirt…!!!
I turned to the girls and back to him… and saw his wide grin plastered on his face… tsssk…! I never realized that I was now glaring at the girls for their continuous stares towards the jerk…
I just snapped back when a warm soft hand suddenly caressed my face…
“What’s with those eyes baby…?”
Omo…! He told me enough to be heard by the people at the stop… kyaaa…!! This is so embarrassing yet… I can’t help but to at least feel giddy about it… and sure is the girls’ face showed disappointment as they saw the jerk being so affectionate towards me… ha-ha…! Take that…! Omo…! What am I thinking about…?
“N-… nothing…”
The bus arrived… we went inside and he was all watching every action I make as if memorizing every steps on how to ride a bus… ha-ha…! He’s so cute…!
I sat near the window while he sat near the isle… and those freaking girls were really have the guts to sit on the opposite side…! Aisht…! What’s with them…?! Can’t they see that I am already with him…?!! Ghaaaaad…! Girls these days really…!
And this man…! Aisht….! What happened to the ‘I won’t flirt around anymore’ and stuffs…?! Hmmmph…!! Omo…! Why am I so mad about this…?
[Jiyong’s POV]
She’s been pouting the whole ride… and I know why… hehe… jealous over these girls…? She’s the one who insisted to take the bus and now she’s having her tantrum… didn’t she thought that she’ll be with me…? Kwon Jiyong… I attract people’s attention especially girls’… if we just took my car, she wouldn’t have to deal with these problems… damn my hotness…!
The girls started to get my attention… even some asked me what school I am attending at… being a gentleman I am… I can’t just ignore them right…? So I answered them all… one girl said that her cousin’s studying there… the other one said that her friend’s studying there and blah blah… as if I freaking care… I just nodded and laughed with them not realizing the girl beside me is having her own moment…
I turned to her and still, she’s wearing that pout… dang…! I just want to kiss that lips right here right now…! I giggled at the thought which made her turn to me wearing an annoyed expression on her face… now wait a minute…! Is she also pissed at me…?
“Baby what’s wrong…?”
I rubbed her hand but she just ignored me… she looked at the girls and then turned her head back towards the window… damn..! It’s not even my fault to be this handsome and hot…!! Aisht…!
We arrived at our destination with her still pissed… what’s her problem…?! She invited me out then she’ll just ruin the mood with her tantrum…!
After we went out of the bus… the girls were now out of sight and with her still giving me a cold shoulder…! What the freaking hell I’ve done…?!!
“Dara why are you acting like this…?”
I pulled her arm to make her stop from walking… she turned back to me and glared at me…! What the…!
“Nothing…”
Her face dropped and she sighed… nothing…?! Nothing again…?! Why can’t she just tell me that she’s jealous over those girls…?! Aisht and now pouring me her anger…?
“Nothing…? But why are you ignoring me…?!”
Her eyes widen as she pulled her arm roughly away from my hold…
“Why are you yelling at me…?!”
“I am not yelling at you…! You’re the one yelling at me…!”
We forgot that we’re on a public place… the people started to stare at us… some are looking at us in disgrace… aisht…!
“You insisted to take that stupid bus and now you’re acting bitchy just coz of those girls giving me some attention when you’re not…!”
My freaking damn mouth blurted out… f*ck…!
I saw her stiffened on her position… she bit her lower lip before turning around and started her tracks… way to go Jiyong…! But really, it’s not my fault…!
“Yah…! Where are you going…?”
I ran up to her and caught her arm again…
“I’ll go buy the stuff myself… you go find your girls I’m sure you’ll have more fun with them than with the bitchy me…”
She coldly said… damn..! She’s really something…! Is she that jealous to push me away…?!
“Fine…! You’re right…! For at least they won’t give me cold shoulders where in the first place I didn’t deserve since I was not the one who insisted to take that f*cking bus…!”
And with that I turned away and walked the opposite direction…! Aisht…! It was just a simple thing yet she’s making it a big deal…!
[Dara’s POV]
I watched him as his back slowly vanished from the crowded place… he really left me… suck it up Dara…! This is not the time to cry… aisht…! Why am I so mad about it…?! I am not even his girl friend… and he’s right… I was the one who insisted to take that bus… I even was the one who asked him out and now…. Hayyy… what’s happening to me…?
--
Her shoulder slumped in defeat… she turned around and walked the opposite direction… deciding to just buy the things she needed… she looked like a walking lifeless person… with a cold aura surrounding her the people are literally staying away from her path…
Wearing a bitter face she entered the market… not really knowing what to buy, she just wandered around… buying random vegetables not really paying attention to her surrounding…
Not noticing the pair of eyes watching her… the man that has been following her since they parted directions earlier…
The man from a distance suddenly gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as he saw a teenage man suddenly approached Dara…
“Miss you forgot this…”
The man told her as he gave her, her wallet… Dara quickly snapped back to her senses and quickly bowed down to the man a couple of times.
“Are you okay miss…? You look so pale…”
The young man asked her in worry…
“Ah… yes I am… thanks for returning my wallet…”
She flashed him a warm smile which caused the young man to blush a bit… and which caused the man from afar boiled in anger… talking about flirting…! He thought…
“By the way miss… I’m Kevin…”
The man named Kevin offered his hand which Dara gratefully accepted.
And soon Dara continued her way… leaving the young man in full glee watching her leaving…
Jiyong tapped the young man’s shoulder once he saw the coast’s clear… the young man was startled to see a blank expression from Jiyong.
“Ah… yes…? Can I help you…?”
The young man asked uneasily… Jiyong flashed a creepy smile before speaking… his hold on the young man’s shoulder tightened a bit which caused the man to flinch in pain.
“Stop staring at her neh…? You already saw a lot and saw her smile… now scoot away… she’s mine…”
He ordered the man to go but the man just looked at him wonderingly… not really knowing what he’s talking about…
“I said go..! or I’ll erase your pretty face… aisht…! Why are there so many pretty boys in this place…?!”
The man named Kevin just left not because he’s scared of his threat but because of the weird things Jiyong started to talk about…
Jiyong inserted his hands in his pockets as he continued following Dara again… it’s already 6 in the evening… and she’s still walking around… wearing a sad face… wishing he should’ve been there at her side if not for her attitude earlier… she should’ve showed him the market… ate ice cream together… walk around the park together…
Thinking if he’s now having fun with those girls earlier really made her sad…
She didn’t take the bus… wanting to make use of the time walking and thinking why she acted that way earlier…
[Dara’s POV]
Am I jealous…?
I don’t even have the right to be…
Why there are a lot who wants to gain that jerk’s attention…?
He even yelled at me in the public… will he be there once I come back home…?
I’m so stupid for ruining this day…
--
She then suddenly ducked down on the street causing the man from afar to almost ran up to her…
She was tired from walking so much… and depressed for having a really bad day… tears started to form in her eyes as she looked down on the ground… thinking that she’s even planning to teach him how to cook later… but maybe now he’s too busy with his girls…
‘It hurts…’
Thinking about those things made her inside ache… with her other hand, she clutched on her chest… burying her face on her knees as she started to cry…
Not knowing that the man slowly went up to her… smiled down to her before bending down and hugged her tight.
She was startled… quickly looked up only to meet his chest…
“Ji… Jiyong…?”
He stayed silent… just hugging her tight... and just then, her lips trembled and a wave of tears suddenly burst out from her eyes…
“What… are you… doing here…?”
She said between her sobs… her body started to tremble as she continuously cried… he caressed her back while kissing her head… she let go of the plastic she’s holding causing some vegetables to dropped out but she didn’t care for she already threw her arms around his neck.
“You shouldn’t be sitting around like this… it’s dangerous you know…”
He told her…
“I thought you left me…”
He smiled and pulled out from the hug… cupping her face in his hands… wiping off the tears on her cheeks with his thumbs…
“I will never leave you baby… even if you push away… run away from me… hate me over and over again… I’ll always find you and keep you with me…”
He said before he pecked on her lips… her teary eyes widen… she felt every of his words just struck her insides… felt butterflies in her stomach… her heart began to throb wild once again…
Their lips parted from each other… she couldn’t even say a word after that… he brushed of her hair away from her face… got the vegetables and put it back to the plastic… he turned around, his back facing her as he pulled her arms and wrap it along his neck…
“Ji… you…don’t have to-…”
But it’s too late… he already carried her on his back… finally she felt safe again… felt so warm and happy… not minding if her heart would explode any minute by now for at least she’s having the moment of her life right now with him.
He started to walk… not minding if he too is tired from following her around… not minding if he totally looked like a dog, following every of its master’s orders… maybe that’s what you really are when you’re in-love.
Feeling her warmth… having her with him felt everything so complete and right…
Never felt this way from Sulli before… for back then, he just possessed her maybe just to replace the solitude he’s feeling… but right now… with Dara…everything just feels so different yet right… he can’t be in peace not seeing her safe… not seeing her in his sight… not seeing her smile… not to hear her voice… not to see her angelic face…
The walk to her house was full silence… he could feel the fast pace of her heart… and that he too could feel the same with his heart… she loved hearing every of his breathing… just a proof that he really is here with her right now…
They arrived at her house… no one dared to talk not until she broke the silence…
“I’m sorry… I was just… I… don’t know…”
She stuttered… looking down on her feet and playing with her fingers… he just smiled again can’t figure out how many times she made him smile that day… he stretched a bit which caused her attention and looked up to him in worry…
“Are you okay…? I told you, you don’t have to bother carrying me…”
She quickly went to him and reached for his arms and back… he looked at her and again felt his heart throb faster than before…
“God… you really are going to be the death of me…”
He mumbled… which caused her to stop
“Eh…?”
“It really is tiring to be with you… but I don’t mind carrying you forever… let my back hurt but I won’t let your feet grew tired from walking… I wouldn’t mind putting you to sleep every night… I wouldn’t mind having body cramps after each night… if that would make me see you wake up every morning by my side… and I wouldn’t mind following you everywhere if that’s the only way I could be sure you’re safe… coz you’re a one hell of a clumsy girl…”
He looked down and chuckle a bit before looking up again and stared straight to her eyes…
“I wouldn’t mind spending my life with a clumsy girl like you Dara…”
She just found herself releasing another tear… drums beating… bells ringing inside her chest… this feels so surreal… hearing such words from him feels so different…
He reached for her face with his other hand… smiled a bit to himself… ready to push his luck before his guts would succumb again under his pride…
“I love you…”
Silence… her mouth opened for a bit but no words came out…
“I… ya… I….-“
She started but doesn’t know what words to tell him…her breathing got heavy… he chuckled on her reaction before he dropped the plastic he’s been holding and with both of his hands, he held her face and crushed his lips on hers… sealing another clumsy word she may about to release…
