WE GOT MARRIED (FROM YG AND SM COUPLE) [ONHOLD]

Chapter 9: Feelings and Friendship

At the same night when Lay has proposed to Dara...

OFFCAM...

"Noona..." He approached her.

"Lay... I though I told you that you can simply call me by my name." She looked at him sharply.

"Mianhe... noo... I mean Dara. I'm just not used to it." He look away from her.

"Hahaha... kidding, if you're really that uncomfortable then just call me noona, but then sooner or later you better get use in calling me by my first name especially when we're filming. Arraso?" She smiled at him.

"Ah neh... are you on your way home?" He asked her.

"Yeah... but seems like my driver is caught up in a traffic from accompanying my sister home." She let out an exhausted sigh. "Looks like I have to wait..."

"Oh... if you like I could drive you home." He offered.

"That's so kind of you... but you don't have to. I'll just wait for my driver."

"Noona, I insist... it's already late and besides it is my responsibility as your husband to make sure that you get home safely..."

Dara looked at him and considered his offer. "Well, point taken and if you're really that determined, guess you'll be driving me home then."

The two of them then went to where Lay has parked his car. Once they've settled down he asked for her to punch her address at the car's GPS so that she won't have a hard time giving him directions.

Now spell a Capital Bold AWKWARD and add a SILENCE to that one.

For about 15 minutes no one dares to open a conversation, the only thing that makes the atmosphere less tense is the music playing moderately. The songs are mostly of EXO and occasionally songs from other idols and once a Chinese song even played.

Dara couldn't take the silence any longer so she decided to speak up first.

"How many years have you been here in Korea?"

Lay was a little startled to her sudden question but glad that she initiated to open up a conversation.

"Around six, nearly seven years actually..."

"It must have been hard."

"Yeah, during our trainee days there's no time that I wouldn't miss my family but I really wanted to be an Idol so I endure all my home sickness." He smiled bitterly at the memories but is still thankful for without it he wouldn't be where he is right now.

"Mmmh, Lay... you might think that this is a little inappropriate for me and forgive me for asking it so bluntly considering the fact that we've just meet today... but I wonder if..."

"If I have a girlfriend?" Lay finished off her question.

"Yeah... I mean... I'll understand if you will find it improper of me asking it, it's just that I don't want any misunderstandings to happen sooner or later. I'm just being cautious..."

"I understand... well the truth is I used to have one but we've just broke up 3 months ago so you don't have to worry about anything or anyone on that matter." He looked over her and give her a sincere smile before looking back at the road.

"Omo... I'm so sorry about that... God, I should've just shut my mouth... urghhh..." she groan at frustration for having to ask that stupid question in the first place.

This make Lay laugh, "Hahaha, Dara you worry too much..."

She frown at him. "It's not funny, how can you still manage to laugh? It's your break-up that we're talking about."
