Breathe (JiDaraYang fanfic) ON HIATUS

Chapter 2: The Story

I got home at around 11pm. I didn't even attend the after party. Siguro nga pagod na nga ako, pagod sa kakaiyak.

Sinalubong ako ni Dadoong, yung pusa ni Cheundoong. He is my brother, who is now popularly called as Thunder of MBLAQ.

I swept Dadoong into my arms and patted his head. "Dadoong, you hungry?" He looked at me as if he understood what I said.

I put him down and proceeded to the kitchen. I got some milk in the fridge and poured it on Dadoong's bowl. He climbed into the counter where I set the milk and started to drink it.

"Go to sleep after this Dadoong" I got up and went to do my rituals like taking a bath, brushing my teeth, etc.

I sat on my couch with my cellphone on my hand. I'm waiting for Youngbae to come home since I want to tell him about my awards. Eventhough I already knew that he won't be interested in any of them.

Youngbae and I were not like this before. In fact, bestfriends pa nga kami eh.

We met when I was 4years old when I was alone in the swing, then suddenly someone was pushing it for me.

Youngbae was so cute at that time. He called me a fairy because I was so pretty in his eyes. I guess he was my first crush at that moment.

He was the boy who lived across the street and our parents were business partners. So we were pretty much very close. He was my bestfriend.

We went to elementary and highschool together. He was my hero for I was always teased and picked on. I have to admit I looked like a walking broom because I was so skinny, yet when I stepped into highschool, I began to bloom.

I discovered that I know how to sing and dance. They also told me that I was a very good actress. That's why I went to an acting school in college while Youngbae got a BusinessAd course for he was the next heir to their company.

Our communication started to fade at that time. I was busy with my acting and he was busy in school. After I graduated, I got a contract in YG Entertainment, which was a very famous company in Korea. They trained me to become an artist and in two years time. I debuted as a solo artist with successful hits.

In the middle of that stardom, I got a call from my parents saying that the company is celebrating its 30th anniversary and that they would have a big announcement. I didn't miss the opportunity because I know Youngbae would be there, and Yes, I was still inlove with him after so many years.

I wore my best dress and went to the venue of the party. I missed my parents and they said they were so proud of me. They told me that I should stay on stage cause they were going to announce something.

"To celebrate Park Corporations 30th anniversary. Don Holdings and Park Corporations would combine their shares and merge into one, but in order to continue the next heir to the throne....Our daughter, the outstanding Sandara Park and the son of Don Holdings, the hardworking Don Youngbae are engaged!"

My heart stopped. I felt a mixture of sadness and happiness at the same time. Sad because I had an arranged marriage, but happy because it is with Youngbae.

There I saw him walking towards my parents. He smiled to the crowd who was clapping and congratulating us.

He gave his speech and everyone clapped. I can't take my eyes off him. As he went down the stage I approached him, but he surprised me again. He smirked at me and dragged me to a place where there was no one there.

" Listen up Dara, I don't want to get married to you. But I guess I have no choice so, goodluck"

He left me there dumbfounded, shattered, and hurt. I loved him, yet he doesn't love me.

We live together now, of course were in separate rooms because were still engaged. And yes, nothing changed.

I was startled when I heard a thud on the door. I checked the clock and its 3am. I smiled because I know Youngbae is here.

I got up and went to open the door. I saw Youngbae drunk again. He can't walk straight so I guided him to his room. I got a towel and wiped his sweat. I stared at him, he was so cute just like before. I just wished nothing has changed.

"mmmmmmmm" I looked at him and thought he was awake.

"Youngbae?" I touched his head because I thought he was in pain. But I didn't know that I was the one who would be hurt after he muttered a name again.

"IU"

I left his room and went to the couch again. I got used to this already. Crying every night and getting hurt day by day.

"Youngbae" I talked to myself. "Sana kahit minsan man lang, mapapansin mo din ako. Alam kong hindi mo ako mahal pero hindi ako susuko. Gagawin ko ang lahat para mahalin mo ako, kahit ang sakit na tinitiis ko na to ng matagal."

I saw my guitar leaning beside the couch so I got it and started to strum what my heart feels.

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it is just so funny That I can't even see anyone when he's with me He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right, I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe? And there he goes, so perfectly, The kind of flawless I wish I could be She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light I'll put his picture down and maybe Get some sleep tonight

Because he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do He's the time taken up, but there's never enough And he's all that I need to fall into

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see

I smiled as I wiped my tears away.

"Thanks to Youngbae, I would have another hit song again"
