Sitter

Dara's trip was cut short. She managed to be back by Thursday evening as her brother had work in another City and her grandfather had to go for his annual checkup. Of course, sinamahan ni Se7en si Yang Hyun Suk sa hospital. Ayaw naman niyang maburyo sa malaking bahay without anyone to talk to kaya umuwi nalang siya.

"Sandara." She turned around to look at the building's owner. Naging ka close na din niya ito dahil every time magpapalusot siya na hindi siya pwedeng umalis sa building dahil marami siyang utang sa may-ari, nagiging kasabwat niya ito when technically, si Dara naman na talaga ang may ari ng floor.

"Po? Napasyal ho kayo?"

Because Dara was practically the floor's owner, and she basically lives on her own sa floor na iyon dahil nga pina reconstruct niya ito, there was no point for the building owner to drop by.

"Sinadya ko talagang puntahan ka. Noong isang araw pa pabalik balik ang nobyo mo dito sa floor mo. Mabuti pa tawagan mo kapag nakapasok ka na." The lady said. Before bidding her goodbye.

Dara became excited with the mere mention of her boyfriend. Minsan lang kasi siya puntahan nito. Usually, she'd randomly see him at his house when his mom and Hayi call her over.

Dara and Jiyong were simple acquaintances. The latter was CL's - Dara's savior's, step-brother so she would've never imagined herself in a relationship with him. For the first 2 years, Jiyong never really showed any interest, ilang beses na silang nagkita at parties that CL's Dad's family hosts at makailang beses na din silang nagkabanggaan in school. Hindi nito alam when it started, but Jiyong made a few subtle moves before saying he was going to court her with or without her permission.

Her - being someone who was picky with guys, surprisingly took a liking to Jiyong's character and before she knew it, she was head over heels in love.

She locked the door and proceeded to go to the 'back' of her apartment. Maraming bagay ang pinadala ng Pappy at mga Kuya niya kagaya ng pera, clothes, some jewelry and her favorite - new pairs of shoes, kaya she has to put them away.

After finishing her clean up, she sat down on her king sized bed, and called Jiyong.

No one answered so she tried again but still, her attempts were futile.

Worrying that something might have happened to him, Dara called Seungri to ask if they were together.

Unlike her boyfriend, the latter answered the call after a few rings.

Dara could hear the loud music in the back and she could hardly hear Seungri's 'hello'.

"Where are you?!" She shouted. If people were to see her, they'd look at her as if she was mental. Sino ba kasi ang sumisigaw over the phone.

[Ha?! Nasa The XXX!]

Clearly, Seungri was drunk at hindi na siya nag-abala pang tingnan kung sino ang tumawag sa kaniya. If he was sober, she was sure he'd tell her not to worry and not to go to a place like a Club dahil delikado, especially if she was alone.

"Kasama mo yung apat?"

[Apat? Ah~ You mean the 4 idiots? Hehe, there's Youngbae, Seunghyun, Daesung and Jiyongie~ Oh, and there's me too~ But I'm also Seunghyun a-]

"Pupunta ako diyan!"

She didn't bother to wait for Seungri's reply neither did she wait for him to finish his drunken speech before ending the call.

Hindi na siya nagbihis. She just tossed on a jacket, and wore some random shoes before grabbing the bag on the couch and leaving her apartment.

She hailed a cab and asked the driver to go to The XXX. Not more than 30 minutes later, she was facing the club's bouncer who was not allowing her to get in.
