Then You Came (DaraGon Fanfic)

Chapter 41

"Unnie?" Minzy was surprised to see Dara after opening the wooden gate of the orphanage.

Dara didn't say anything and just gave her little sister a tight hug while crying.

Although puzzled, Minzy didn't asked why and just let her Unnie cry on her shoulder. She rubbed her back, trying to comfort her.

"It hurts, Minzy... It really hurts." Dara said in between her sobs.

Minzy gently pulled from the hug and held Dara by her arm to walk towards the bench-like swing that's at the porch of the house.

She assisted her in sitting down and sat beside her. "What's wrong, Unnie?" She tapped her back.

Dara was sniffing and sobbing at the same time.

"Did you have a fight with Jiyong Oppa?"

"I wish it was really just a petty fight, Minzy... But it isn't."

"Take a deep breath, Unnie. Calm down." She guided her head and brought it to her shoulder.

"Minzy, it was all a lie... He just wanted to have Kiko back." She was almost out of breath because of crying.

"What do you mean, Unnie?"

"I've heard Jiyong told Kiko everything... He needed me to make Kiko jealous and eventually have her back... It felt like I was stabbed in the chest multiple times... I love him, Minzy... I love him so much it hurts to hear those words directly from him."

"It must have been a misunderstanding... I have seen how much love Jiyong Oppa has given you."

"They're just all an act... I've heard everything... I know his real purpose. He doesn't love me, Minzy... He still loves Kiko."

Daesung, coming from inside was surprised to see Dara back from Japan... and crying.

"Noona..." He called.

Dara raised her head and rushed in Daesung's arms after.

"What's happening?" He mouthed at Minzy.

"Jiyong Oppa." Minzy did the same.

Daesung's forehead creased. He held her arms and carefully pushed her away to look at her. "What did Jiyong Hyung do to you?"

Instead of answering, Dara covered her face with her palms and continued crying.

"I've told him not to hurt you... He promised!" Daesung felt angry seeing her Noona cry. "Where is he? I need to talk to him." He was about to walk out of the orphanage to look for Jiyong but Dara stopped him.

She shook her head. "I didn't want him to know I came back."

"He doesn't know you're here?"

"We had an argument back in Japan yesterday and it didn't end up well. I came back to talk to him only to find out his plan."

"What plan, Noona?"

Dara can't say it one more time. It just keeps hammering her chest. Her sobs started to be audible again.

"Unnie heard Jiyong Oppa while talking to Kiko Unnie. He told her he was just using Dara Unnie to have her back."

"What?!... This is not right, Noona. I really need to see him right now." Daesung was fuming in anger.

"I'm flying back to Japan tomorrow... I need to free my mind with all these... I can't face him, Dae... I can't."

"Noona..."

She wiped her tears and was still sniffing when she spoke. "You don't have to see him, Dae... Let's just leave it as it is... He doesn't have to know that I've heard it all... I'm just staying for the night... Don't tell anyone about what I told you... not even to Mother Cecilia." She forced a smile to both of them but ended up biting her lower lip as it begun trembling while her eyes became clouded with tears again.
