Five Years Ago [English Ver.]

Nine

Friday is the weekly day of Dara buying needs. And now, she together with Nara and Daesung, who forced him to accompany him, were on their way to the supermarket. They were listening to the cheerful chatter of Nara who sat on the back seat.

"Nara-ya" Dara called, the latter look at her mother, waiting for the next word Dara would say, "Daesung Samchon invited us to go to the playground tomorrow" That round eyes now look at Daesung who was behind the wheel.

The smile on his face widened as Nara's small arms wrapped around Daesung's neck, "You are indeed the best Samchon I ever met Daseung samchon," Nara said before kissing Daesung's cheek that make Daesung's thin eyes thinner.

"Anything for you baby" Daesung said softly. Nara returned to sit in her chair and returned to chattering cheerfully. Daesung glanced at Dara who smiled warmly towards her daughter, listen to interesting stories that comes out of Nara's mouth. And it makes his chest flutter, he will make these two girls happy with his way.

They bought some things Nara and Dara needed for the next week. Nara walk beside Dara, while Daesung pushes the trolly containing their groceries. People around who don't know them, may think that they are the frame of a happy family.

And Daesung will not deny that, if he is required to be the father of a beautiful girl with a smart brain, he will not reject it. Plus the mother who is independent and smart. Who would turn down the opportunity to become Sandara Park's husband? The woman is almost perfect with what she has.

Only stupid men like Donghae, who left her. Even though that man left Dara because of his parents decision, he still couldn't understand what that bastard was thinking that time so he could do that to Dara. Why couldn't he fight for a woman who was even pregnant with his child that time?

"Are you done?" Daesung asked, Dara glanced at him then nodded, "let me carry Nara" he said then released their trolly to carry Nara who was asleep in her mother's arms.

Dara gives Nara to men who are willing to spend time for her and her daughter. "Thank you," she said with a smile on her face. Daesung nodded before rubbing Nara's back.

Sandara sighed softly, was it time for her to open her heart to another man? Is she strong enough if one day Daesung leave her because of something they don't want? Like what Donghae did 5 years ago maybe. He leave her because of things that both of them have never even think before.

"Thank you for taking us back home," Sandara said after he finished taking Nara on her bed.

Daesung smiled warmly before nodding, "Don't hesitate noona, I'm glad to help you" Daesung said.

"Do you want to have dinner first? maybe a little snack and coffee before you go home?" the man answered with a shake of his head.

"You must be tired, I'll go home right away. Maybe next time," he said making Sandara's chest rustle. He is truly extraordinary. He is an angel in human body.

"Let me take you to the front door," they walked toward the front door. After reminding Sandara about their date tomorrow morning Daesung left.

This Saturday is probably the most awaited day for Hyeji. The 50-year-old woman was very eager to introduce her only son to her friend's daughter. She wanted her son to be able to let go and give up her late daughter-in-law who had left them 5 years ago.

She didn't disagree when her son was married to Jinah, but now the latter was gone forever. She don't want her only son to continue living alone until he was old. He deserves to be happy with the woman he loves. She, as a mother, only wants her child to end up happy with anyone.

"Are you ready?" Hyeji asked as she saw her son appeared neatly in his formal clothes. Jiyong nodded his head in response. Hyeji drive her car with her husband Jinu while Jiyong would bring his own car. What Hyeji hopes, he can take the prospective daughter-in-law back to her or maybe his apartment.

They arrived at the hotel where a large event was held which invited many business people, from inside and outside the country. Lee Seungri, one of Jiyong's friends approached him with a woman beside him.

"You are come?" Seungri asked after give Jiyong a quick hug, Jiyong nodded with a smile on his face. He then glanced at the girl beside him, and like understand what the mean of Jiyong's gaze, he answered, "She's my girl, Raline. She is from Indonesia," Seungri said.

"Wow, you're finally with a woman huh?" Jiyong joked, Seungri was a man who had many female friends but he never introduced a woman as his "girl" he only labeled every woman beside him as "ma friend".

"That's how it is, this woman can make me melt just because of her smile" Seungri said glancing at his lover who smiled warmly. "You came alone?" Seungri asked.

Jiyong shook his head in response, "I was with my parents who disappeared somewhere since we entered this room. Do you see them? "Jiyong asked

"They are with aunt and uncle Goo if I'm not wrong," Seungri said, Jiyong remembered the conversation with his mother.

"Jiyong" he glanced back, together with Seungri and Raline. "I'm looking for you everywhere. Let me introduce you to this beauty, this is Goo Hara," Hyeji said, referring to the girl who was in her arms, "isn't she very pretty?" Hyeji asked.

Jiyong shook his head with a smile on his face, the girl named Hara stretched out her hand, "Hello, you can call me Hara" the girl in her cream satin dress said.

"Jiyong, nice to meet you Hara," he said. He just doesn't want to embarrass his mother and maybe him  in front of a beautiful woman in front of him.

"You can accompany her Jiyong, ah Hello Seungri, is this your lover?" Hyeji asked as she saw the boy holding a beautiful woman beside him. "What is your name, beautiful girl?" Hyeji asked holding out her hand.

"Raline Ma'am" the girl beside Seungri said shaking Jiyong's mother's hand.

"Beautiful name, just like the owner.  Enjoy your night Young people, I will go back to my group," she said before glancing at her son," Take good care of her, arrayo" she pointed her dainty finger at Jiyong. He laughed with three other people.

"Your mom is really lovely," Hara muttered, who was still staring at Hyeji's back away. Jiyong muttered in agreement, "I'm sorry for the death of your wife 5 years ago Jiyong" she continued now looking at him.

"Thank you Hara, after all it's been a long time," Jiyong said, Hara nodded her head. They started talking about their lives. Starting to know each other just like what Hyeji want.

"Are you going home now?" Jiyong said glancing at his watch, Hara followed what Jiyong did and nodded, "You look like you are getting drunk Miss" he said before chuckling making the girl in front of him giggle.

"You are right," she said before shaking her head to eliminate the effects of her hangover.

"Come on, I'll take you home" he said before holding his hand on Hara's back with one other hand touching the girl's elbow. Hara just smiled, she felt grateful Mrs. Kwon trusted her son to be with her.
