Devil or Monster? (Darahae And Chandara Fanfic)

4

Love is staying by your side even if I'm afraid, even if I know that sooner or later it will be over, even if I know that you have the power to break my heart in a second. Love is to finally understand that the things we want in life don't always come in the order they were supposed to, but in the order they were meant to.

"Gwaenchanha?" He asked while looking me in the eyes.

Don't look at me like that, Donghae. Ugh! I should be giving him a cold shoulder right now but I can't help it. I'm melting. Aish! What's wrong with me?

"Gwaenchanha. Kamsahamnida." I gave him a shy smile.

"You're visiting Seoul for vacation?"

"I'm going to study at HaeU starting next month." Oh crap! I can't manage to have eye contact with him.

"Oh? That's good. But what made you go here in Namdaemun. I mean, this is already too far from HaeU?"

"It's because of PC... I mean, Chanyeol. I was just strolling around Namsan Park earlier..."

"How did you know each other?"

"All I know is his name. Well, it's a long story. How about you? You know Chanyeol?"

"Uhm, y-yeah." He looked surprised on my question. "'Let's go?"

"Huh? Where?"

"Namsan Tower."

I never thought walking back to Namsan Tower will be this boring and awkward. Both of us were not talking along the way. It's as if we are total strangers. I wanted to break the ice... I wanted to ask so many things but I think this is not the right time.

"I heard they have the best galbi here." He finally broke the silence.

"Jinjja? We have to try it then." I excitedly suggested.

We went inside the restaurant located at Namsan Cable Car building. We seated near the window. My eyes are fixed outside the window the moment I sitted. I already gave Donghae the authority to order our food. I'm just so occupied relishing the moment - enjoying the exquisite panoramic view of Seoul while waiting for the restaurant's sumptuous dishes, sitting face to face with the one I love. ㅋㅋ

Finally, our order has arrived!

He ordered saenggalbi and saengdeungsim with two bowls of rice, kimchi and doenjang jjigae. I was drooling.

The food is just so great that we could not afford to talk. All I can hear is our loud chomp.

"I'm full!" I declared while rubbing my tummy.

He chuckled. "You're still the Dara that I know. Nothing's changed."

I frowned with what he said. "What do you mean?"

"You still have a big appetite. I wonder where the foods that you eat go. With that tiny body, it's still a mystery for me." He burst out laughing.

I almost threw my chopsticks at him.

"You haven't changed as well. You still like to make fun of me."

His laughter turned into a warm closed-lip smile.

I felt my cheeks turn red. Now I know, his smile is my weakness.

"Dara." His tone became serious. "I am sorry if I was not able to attend to your party."

"I understand. You don't have to say sorry." Wait, what? Seriously, Dara?

I was about to take back what I said but suddenly, his phone rang.

He excused himself and went outside the restaurant. I took advantage of the moment to take a photo of the delightful sight. It's already dark outside and the city lights started to glow.

"I'm sorry Dara but I have to go now." He said while scratching the side of his neck. "I'll just drop you off at the bus station."

"But we haven't explored the Namsan Tower." I pouted.

"We'll do it some other time, okay?"

We'll see each other again? That's definitely a good idea.

"Okay. Let's go?"

Updates could be slow because I do some research (places in SoKor, facts about the characters, etc.) first before I finish a chapter so it could be more realistic. Aside from that, I am a full-time engineer and I am very loaded these days. ㅠㅠ Mianhaeyo.

I'd appreciate if you'll leave a comment and vote. 😄
