Prejudice (daragon fanfic)

The starting point

time passed again,this time it was effortlessly slower. I could only hear the clubs crowd of muffled voices.my head throbbing.my breathing impaired.I'm not even sure if it was the alcohol doing this effect on me.the butterflies that were buzzing through my stomach since our conversation seemed like it was going to burst out of me.

my blood is rushing all through out my body,it was adrenaline. I was getting high again but this time it wasnt because of those spent up nights from drinking too much.My high was badly an outcome of his intoxicating kiss,and it wasn't even those sensual ones that i had.it was just a lingering smooch.one that kept me from being aware of anything.

i felt the logical part of my head and snapped my eyes open and shot back at him.

" what the hell are you doing?! get the fuck off me" i used all the strength i had in me and tried my best to exit the club with my slurry steps.i was a complete wreck as i stumbled repeatedly towards the people along my way but i didn't care all i wanted was to get out off this place as fast as i can.

thankfully i got outside and hailed out a cab, went inside and ordered the driver to take me to my apartment as fast as he can which he did without questioning the eagerness in my voice to get home.

the sweet silence filled my soul as i entered my apartment. i quickly changed my clothes and got to bed.the white sheet covering my whole body like i always had done ever since.Being wrapped up like this didnt make me feel any less vulnerable.the throbbing in my head was gone the moment i got to the cab.guess my tenacious conviction to get home quickly made me sober and awake.

my main goal in going to the club was just to just get a little bit tipsy to rive up my high even the slightest bit.spend time alone and don't talk to anyone.don't accept drinks from anyone who offered me to even if they were some kind of a rich billionaire.get out there as soon as i had enough fun and directly go to appa's club to take my shift.

but it all didnt go according to my plan. i accepted someone's offer to accompany me.we talked.he offered me drinks and i drank past my newly discovered limit.and for the most sinful part was he kissed me.i let him kiss me.my walls crashed down as i remembered that exact scene.

the city lights gave off a comforting aura as it entered my dim room but not to me...i stared outside my window and shriveled my hair back and forth,wishing that event didnt happen.i was skeptically on the brink of loosing my sanity once again and i wont let that falter the me that i have made now.

i felt the spark in that one kiss and that would only lead to another happiness in me.i would feel loved again.and then when it all goes down,i'll end up hurt.in pain once again.and i wouldn't let that happen.never again.

after all there's a reason why i built those walls around me.i fall crazily fast for someone for anything.

i crawled my way to bed and drifted off to sleep praying that by the time i woke up everything would go back to the way it was.back to the way my heart wasn't shaken even if it was just a little bit troubled.

" you didn't attend your shift yesterday.what happened to you?" as soon as dara woke up she immediately went to the club despite of her shift scheduled later in the noon.she knew she had to work again to pay for her debts and now here she is being interviewed by her ultimate enemy.

" wow like you even care?" dara arranged the bottles on the racks,wiping them one by one,adding unnecessary pressure in the process almost making the bottle break.

" i dont.i just dont like it when those pesky customers look for you.like i know what shit you're up to.bitch" she said as she made her exit behind the bar counter.tiffany said the last word a little muffled but nevertheless dara still caught on it and sent her a devious glare.

"same goes to you skank"dara easily brushed off tiffany's side comment.

dara hated her to her guts.she was never afraid to spout out trashy comments to her even though she was the daughter of the owner of the club.yes,she was appa's one and only diva daughter tiffany hwang.dara got scolding from her appa from time to time regarding her unending cat fight with her but just like always her appa cannot make her stop.

it has always been dara's little entertainment watching tiffany get ticked off by her remarks.it made her feel a little better.well maybe a whole lot better.she find it amusing that someone can be as desperate as her.dara knew how she had always been envious of the attention that her father always gave dara even though she isn't part of their family.

dara finished arranging the necessary stuffs in the bar corner and went straight to her appa's room.

DARA'S POV

i'm pretty sure i'm going to get scolded once again just like a little girl he always treats me as.i hate it but he has his own way in getting into me,my system.i know he's trying to unravel the things i dont want to ever get back to, the things that were better off forgotten.

i went inside his office without knocking because that would be too mainstream. i made myself comfortable beside appa despite of another unwanted guest that have been appearing like mushroom everywhere i go. i have a bad feeling about this guy... i met him too many times and that kiss made it more dangerous than it already is.

" sit down" appa said and i nonchalantly did as he said while reminding my self to keep distance from that guy.

" sorry if i didn't come yesterday to do my shift.i just wanted to spend time alone i guess so i stayed in my apartment all day" i immediately reasoned out since i knew he was gonna ask why he didn't see me yesterday.its a pretty good tactic to always be ahead of things.

i saw how appa became flustered as i said that.i also saw how appa exchanged glances with jiyong.jiyong...uttering that name made me stomach churn for a reason i didnt know myself.jiyong also stealed a glance at me and for the slightest second we shared eye contact.it made me shiver.

" i checked up on your apartment and you weren't there.you're definitely lying to me again dara..." he said as he played with the spoon inside his coffee,swirling continuously.his expression was void.

seems like he have caught on my usual lies.i think i have to be more creative to dodge him.and its not like i already knew that he wont fell for that but im not admitting either.

"appa..." i almost said in a warning tone.

"you know i don't like you getting on my personal life right? you know me well... so just let me pass" i said looking at him directly in the eyes.i saw him bit back a retort but he knows me well like ive always said.he knows what im capable of.

"arasso.arasso...i'll let you go this once but just please dara yah~ don't just go off like that without telling me where you are.don't make me worry too much hmm?" he looked at me longingly like im really important to him.i quickly diverted my gaze to something else.it makes me cringe... the awful warmth of being cared of.i don't like it.

being practically raised by him for quite some time now i know he wouldnt be able to put up a tough act on me just like what he tried to do earlier.he always crumbles with the thought of me running away from him.i really dont understand him at all.it confuses me so much why he cares but then i dont want to trouble myself on thinking about that either.it just makes things a little more complicated.

" arasso appa.i think i pretty much cleared everything up so i'll go ahead and take my leave now.annyeong~" i stood up and bowed to appa and made my way out,i have to shake off the feelings that crept unto me.
