DARA'S POV
I'm staring at myself in the mirror looking pathetic. How could I be so blind? After the conversation I just witnessed, I immediately strode towards the nearest restroom I could find to hide. Yes, to hide my emotions building inside me that's been struggling to come out. Just when I realized how I feel towards him, this will happen. Why?! Are they really together? Maybe I heard it wrong or maybe I misunderstood what they've meant but knowing Jiyong, he would've corrected them if it was all a lie. He would've stopped Kiko from saying things if he knew it wasn't true, but he just stood there and did nothing. Another tear fell from my eyes which I immediately wiped away. I know I don't have any right to feel this way but he never should have told me he likes me. He never should have shown his intentions towards me if he just meant for my heart to be broken. I tapped my chest to somehow ease the pain that I'm feeling but it did nothing. It's just becoming worst as minutes passes by. Why does it hurt so damn much?!
"Dara?! Dara?!" I heard Donghae's voice outside the restroom as he continuously knocks on its door. "What's happening in there? Unlock the door please." He pleaded.
"Just a minute okay? I'm just...I'm fixing my makeup. Stop bothering me you idiot." I told him as I faked my voice trying so hard to stifle my sobs.
I heard him heaved a sigh before he continued. "Dara, I know what you're doing. Just talk to me, please. Let me hear you."
I hurriedly wiped my eyes, careful not to ruin my makeup and put some powder to cover my tear stricken face. When I'm 100% sure that there's no more trace that I indeed cried, I finally opened the door and immediately put my mask on as if nothing happened. "Hey! What's up?"
Donghae stiffened as he looked at me, his curled fist still frozen in the air from previous knocking. He finally relaxed afer a few seconds and stared at me warily. "What happened to you?"
"What do you mean what happened? I told you I'm just freshening up." I said as I displayed my innocent look, trying hard to keep myself together.
"But...i heard..."
"Aisht! You worry too much you know that?" I cut him off and waved my hand dismissively.
I stepped out of the restroom and fished my phone inside my bag to check if appa already replied but i still didn't find any message coming from him. Where could he be?
"What's wrong Dara?" Donghae asked, worry visible on his face.
"Appa, he's still not replying." I answered as I tried to look around.
"Maybe he's busy or something..." he answered knowingly as he scratched his head, his eyes looking anywhere but me.
"But he said i should inform him once I arrived but..."
"Dara, you're the one who worry too much. You did inform him right?" He asked and I nodded my head. "See, maybe he's just doing something important that's why he can't respond."
"Maybe...I'm just worried." I answered and looked at my phone again.
"I know, why don't we just have fun while waiting for your Appa?" He suggested giving me a wide toothy grin.
"Have fun?"
"Yup, can you see the dance floor? Its pretty much open." He said as he pointed at the dance floor where couples are dancing along with the music.
