Then You Came (DaraGon Fanfic)

Chapter 27

With hesitation, Dara decided to explain to Jiyong. She thought the earlier she talks to him, the better. She won't be able to sleep well anyway since it's gonna be a burden in her chest.

She knocked on his door and opened it when she didn't get any response from inside.

Peeping her head through the little space, she looked at what Jiyong was doing.

His back was facing her as he was staring out the window while holding a glass of liquor.

She slowly got in and gently closed the door.

She cleared her throat. "Jiyong, can we talk?"

He stayed silent and didn't even look at her direction.

"Please... Let's not end this day without talking." She pleaded.

Jiyong finished the liquor on his glass in just one gulp.

"Jiyong..."

He faced her. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was supposed to tell you about it but I didn't get the chance."

"We talked the night of your FOUND DAY... the day after that... we spoke a number of times Dara... and you didn't say anything about it... You were intending to hide it from me."

"I didn't want you to think about it when you already have a lot to worry about."

"So you still wouldn't tell me about it if Tim didn't mention his name?"

"That's not it Jiyong... I'm just finding the right chance."

He chuckled bitterly. "Tell me Dara... Do you like him, too?"

"Of course not... He's just a friend Jiyong."

"Then why invite her there... And even let the kids talk to him." He raised his voice.

"You don't understand Jiyong... Daesung invited him... He's helping Dae with his singing career... It's his dream and Youngbae's someone who can guide my little brother on his way to his dreams."

"Then why not ask help from me?... I have my own connections, too."

"I didn't ask help from Youngbae... He judged one of the singing competitions where Daesung has joined and Youngbae saw potential in him... that's why he's helping my brother... Daesung told him that there will be a little feast at home that day and he invited him to come over... That's why he was there."

He walked towards his mini bar and poured his glass with whiskey, took a shot and poured it again. When he's about to take another shot, Dara walked to him and pulled his hand down, not letting him drink another glass.

"Are you just gonna be like this instead of us fixing this misunderstanding?" She asked, sadness registered on her eyes.

"Why does Youngbae have to enter the picture?" He gripped on the glass tighter.

"You're the only one who thinks that way Jiyong... He's just a friend. I told you I would like you to still have your friendship with him back. Nothing else."

He raked his hair.

"Please believe me Jiyong... I was about to tell you about it. I was just finding the right timing... because I know this would be your reaction... I never intended to keep it from you."

He held her shoulders and pushed her towards the wall. He trapped her with his arms. "You told me you love me, right?"

"I do... It's only you."

"I didn't want to lose you Dara... I'm jealous just thinking about you being with Youngbae during your Found Day instead of me... I'm jealous that your also giving your attention to another man aside from me... I like you Dara... No... I love you... I might sound possessive but I don't want you being with another man. I love you Dara."
