Then You Came (DaraGon Fanfic)

Chapter 19

Jiyong was left in his work room thinking about what just happened.

He tried to weigh his feelings. He's totally aware that his feelings for Kiko is still there but something new is rising inside.

'Am I starting to fall out of love with Kiko?... I'm confused with the emotions I'm feeling when it comes to Dara.'

He sat on the couch, rested his back on the backrest and raked his hair with his fingers.

'I think Dara's the answer for me to totally move on from my past... Not as someone who I can use to have Kiko back but as someone who I can share my feelings with.'

He looked up the ceiling and held his chest that's still hammering caused by the kiss that he had shared with Dara.

His lips formed a smile.

"It's been a while since I felt this way." He told himself.

He stood up and headed to his room to rest.

Sleep well. Goodnight. =)

He sent a short text message to Dara before completely cradling himself to sleep.

***********

Dara didn't know how she was able to bring herself in her room.

Her heart's filled with so much happiness it might pop out of her chest any time.

Jiyong told her he likes her... He was honest to admit it's not as strong as how he feels about Kiko but knowing that a guy like him liked someone like her still brings her to cloud-nine.

She was taken away from her thoughts when she heard her message alert tone.

It was a message from Jiyong.

She smiled immediately after reading it.

Her fingers were soon typing on her keypad to send him a reply but she wasn't sure on what to say so she simply sent...

Goodnight.

It was really a good night thanks to you... See you tomorrow. - Jiyong

Yes... See you tomorrow.

'I probably would dream of you tonight.' She thought of adding but refrained herself from doing so.

She went to bed and tried to close her eyes to get some sleep but it was hard for her.

She remembered Youngbae and their conversation earlier.

She's feeling guilty she has not given him the chance to prove himself.

"But if I've done that, I'll just give him false hope that there might be a chance between us... He seems to be a nice guy." She stared at her phone. "I even told him there's no chance there will be something between me and Jiyong... and now, this happened... What should I do?"

Feeling the guilt, she decided to sent Youngbae a message. She thought about what to tell him very carefully.

Hi. You probably are asleep now... I'm sorry Youngbae. I can see how good of a man you are but I still insist of just being friends... You're always welcome to tell me any problems you have. I'm willing to be a listener. Sorry Youngbae.

She hesitated to send it but then still ended up hitting the send button.

Why say sorry? It's not as if it's your obligation for you to like me back. If your decision is for us to be friends, I should be ok with it... But as I've told you, I'm still not giving up. - Youngbae
