POMME | CHASING FEARS

One More Shot

In their hotel room...

Bom and Dara is chilling on the terrace with beer can on each side.

"I wanted to drink more Darong.." Bom pouted.

"Na do, (me too) but our flight is early tomorrow" Dara answered her with a slight disappointment drawn on her face.

"Ne. Maybe we can celebrate better when Chaelin and Minzy is around." She said as she gulp down from the can.
"Kure. Tonight feels so good, right? Let's just enjoy that moment for now." Dara looked at Bommie and smiled,

"Everything will be okay, so don't worry. We are your strong defenders, so don't be afraid. Arasso?" the younger added.

"I'm thankful to you guys. Beyond words can explain"

Bom, almost in tears again immediately hugged Dara, when they heard a familiar growl on Bom's tummy.

"Omo!" They both exclaimed and laugh.

"Perhaps we should order Pizza?" Dara suggested, pulling out her phone.

"Yum! And spicy squid, and pork belly if they have too, oh plus two more cans of beer!"

Suggested Bom, who is now dancing in happiness.

Dara ordered in her ahjumma tone, controlling their laugh while she is ordering.

While waiting for their food to arrive, Bom played a song on her iphone, in loud speaker.

"Gosh, I love that song.." Dara mumbled while she rest her head on the comfy chair.

Both stared at the night sky.. drowned their countless thoughts along with the bright city lights of Hong Kong.

"Dara," mumbled Bom.

"Hmmm?" Dara answered, eyes closed, not bothering to look at the eldest.

"Its been four years already, how are you? Really?"

Bom asked, as she looked at her friend who seems to enjoy her inner peace.

"Being with him is the best thing I know, Bommie." Dara sighed, and continue...

"No matter how long we have to play hide and seek, I won't mind..."

"I'd do anything for my Jiyong".

She managed to smile, and a single tear escaped from her resting eyes.

Bom noticed Dara's sudden emotion. She can't help but to feel the aching heart of her bestfriend.

"I know Jiyong feels the same." Bom assured.

"When you think you can't play this game anymore, tell us. Arasso?"

She smiled and returned the strength Dara gave her a while ago.

"You are lovable Dara, and I can't think of any reasons for the public not to approve you for him. You are perfect together, everyone can see that."

She stopped when she saw someone walking towards them, careful not to make any noise.

"I can't give up on us easily." Dara answered.

"My love for Jiyong is endless, if there is such thing. I didn't know that I am capable of loving someone this much, until he came. Its not always a happy love story, but loving him makes me alive."

And she looked at the sky.

Bom just smiled when she heard that, never did her best friend express her love for Jiyong that much. They maybe touchy and all, but hearing those words from Dara made her feel happy – for the both of them.

Just when Dara was about to reach for her phone, she felt arms wrapped around her shoulders, and lips that kisses her head. Without turning back, she perfectly know whose arms that is.

"Jiyong.." She said sweetly.

"I love you," He whispered to her ear.

Dara looked above, and met his boyfriend's lovely stare.

Jiyong pulled Dara from her chair, and let her twirl around like a princess.

He then pulls her closer, chest to chest, both of their eyes are closed, feeling each other's presence. They danced to the music for a few seconds.

Jiyong seated, and placed Dara on his lap. Back hugging her, hands intertwined.

"Look at these two being so lovey dovey.." Bom said with her usual high, husky, ahjumma voice, making the two smile.

"You know we can only do these things when we are alone or were in front of you guys," Dara leans on Ji.

"Besides, you should have your partner by now if you didn't reject his confession." Dara jokingly tap Bom's arm.

"Seriously noona, get back together or he might marry a chair!" Jiyong said.

"I get it, it takes time you know." The door rang and Bom immediately went out to get the delivery.

After an hour, the three decided to rest.

"Are you sure you're okay alone in here?" Dara worries.

"Aigoo this woman, we are old now, its like I won't see you tomorrow morning!"

Bom tap their shoulders and escort them out of her room.

"See you tomorrow noona!" Jiyong happily went out with Dara on his side.

"Enjoooooyyy~!" Bom teased GD in a giddy tone.

"But I don't want a chair or any furniture as my sister! Remember that well noona!"

Jiyong shouted, enough for Bom to hear and chuckle before closing the door.
