CHAPTER SIX

[GD's POV]

"Dara! Can you model for my sketch?" I asked her nervously.

We were at home sitting on the couch together while watching her favorite chick flick... serendipity.

She looks at me and I look at her.

We stared at each other for a while.

"Me? Modeling for you?" She asked.

"Well... yeah if you are okay with it." I answered.

She stared at my face then smiled.

"It's fine for me but, why so suddenly?" She asked curiously.

I look at the television.

"Well, I kinda want to draw a portrait occasionally." I answered her nonchalantly.

Tomorrow will be the seventh day and I want to do something for her.

Something for her to remember.

I can still feel the heat of her stare boring on my face.

"Perhaps you wanted a nude picture?" She asked me suspiciously.

"Dork! I'm not perverted like you! You could wear your clothes" I retorted.

She giggled and threw a pillow on my face.

"Jerk" She retorted.

It's my turn to laugh.

Dara you're the most important person in my life now.

I wouldn't mind dying for you.

________________________

I'm in the middle of sketching her while she sits on the couch and kept her still.

"Jiyonggie, I am bored." She told me with a frown.

"Dara don't move." I told her.

"But I am tired." She told me with a sigh.

"Then do you want to be drawn with a plain face?" I teased her.

Her frown deepens. "No I don't want that." She answered.

I continued with my work.

Silence lingered between us.

"Jiyonggie" She called on me again.

"What is it now?" I asked her with a smile.

Seriously, this girl is so funny.

"Do you like me?" She asked.

I felt like my earth just shattered.

I didn't know that I dropped my pencil too.

I look at her immediately and she's also staring back at me.

I sighed.

Maybe this is the right time.

"Well, I'm sure that even though I don't say anything, you already know right?" I asked her.

She frowned. "Well, I won't know if you won't tell me right? It's ok, just tell me." She told me back.

"What?" I asked her.

She sighed. "I want to hear it from you. If you won't tell me then... I won't model for you. EVER." She threatened me childishly.

I can't help but to giggle.

I walk towards her and sat beside her.

She looks at my face.

I sighed and gather up the courage left in my body.

I met her beautiful and shining brown orbs.

I tried to clear the lump on my throat and held her hands.

She looks nervous just like me.

"Dara, from the moment I met you, I know you're someone who will rock my world. You're beautiful inside and out, crazy and unpredictable, ecstatic and lively.

I love you. I just love everything about you." I sighed to release some tension.

"I know that were in some kind of stucked up situation, and it sucks I know because... I'd love to live longer with you beside me, do a lot more stuffs together, experience a lot of things together... it's just, being with you makes my life a lot more meaningful and fun. It's just a shame that I had to do this things with you for seven days." I smiled.

"I love those seven days that were together. I don't have any regrets.

I just love you." I told her sincerely.

Her eyes glistened and I can feel her heart beating erratically.

I smiled, so I wasn't the only one feeling this way.

She smiled. "Jiyonggie, I love you too." She said while her tears are falling freely.

I wiped her tears away. "I know." I answered her.

She slapped my arm. "Conceited" She retorted.

I drew the distance between our face and kissed her soft lips.

I felt all the warmth rushed out on my body.

I love this feeling.

I nibbled on her lips and she responded eagerly. I find a way to enter her cavern and she welcomed me with the same passion. We battled for dominance. She's just so sweet.

We parted to gather up some air. I smiled at her.

She kisses my nose.

I just hugged her tightly as an answer.

[DARA's POV]

Dara woke up from her sleep when she hadn't found Jiyong on bed.

She stood up and walks towards the canvas and found Jiyong sleeping while sitting and holding his pencil.

I can't help but to smile.

He's so cute and at the same time he makes me feel so important. He cared for me a lot though he's not saying it.

I felt so alive and carefree whenever I am with him. He completes me. He's the missing link in my life. I'm just happy that God gave me a chance to meet this wonderful guy that any girl would cherish.

I am happy that I had a chance with love.

I held his face and caress it.

I will miss this handsome face.

I gave him a peck on his lips.

Then I look at his canvas. "Looks like you finished it." I mumbled.

He truly has an amazing hand.

He can be someone great in the near future. He can go beyond his dreams, I know.

I am sure about it.

I sighed. I wish we had more time together.

I look back at him.

I felt the hot tears on my eyes.

I tried my best to held it in.

"Jiyonggie... Thank you so much for everything, for the love and care. I'm sorry if I've become a burden to you but you have to promise me that you have to make your dreams come true. I love you Jiyonggie. I love you so much." I whispered at him while crying.

I love you that I can give way and sacrifice my life for you.

I smiled.

Thank you for everything.
