Chapter 5 : Compromise

I still have the scarlet scarf you gave me.

It smells of your long lost wild freedom.

Chanyeol stared at her, while she, oblivious of him continue to stared at her clasped hands. She can't actually thought of anything to say and the silence that enveloped them from the moment she steps out of shower, doesn't help either.

Is it that bad? The man thought to himself. Not the action last night, that he is questioning. It's his idea if he was that bad to be her first? If it's that bad for her then it just proves that he was afterall, sucks.

30 minutes since Dara settled herself in the beanbag infront of Chanyeol, though not a single word has been spoken. She thought of things on how to make it easier for both of them. It's not that bad actually, Now that she had thought about it inside, it's not that bad afterall. The remorse and agony about the whole situatuion had lessened yet the anxiety just started to build up..

" Sorry.. " she started that makes him looked at her. Now that he finally looked at her intently without make-up, he noticed that the word 'beautiful' didn't give any justice on what she actually looks like. Her features grew from pretty to beautiful to gorgeous and to something far more ahead of those descriptions. She is actually angelic that everything seems to shine and set from her. This makes Chanyeol's throat grew dry because he still been mesmerized of how  radiant she is, despite for the past 24 hours of being alone together.

"If i hadn't started fooling around we won't end up being in.. bed." She felt shy after she muttered the last word just enough for the man infront of her to hear. Dara felt the anxiety to grow higher and higher when Chanyeol didn't speak right away, 

She's freaking older than him and she should be actually the one who supposed to stop everything last night from happening,But she didn't have the courage to do so or she actually didn't dare. She glanced on his way and for some reason, Chanyeol's way of staring at the emptiness in the corner reminds her of the same boy 9 years ago, that she treasured dearly like her own brother. Yep brother..

Just one word and everything seems to build higher and higher. She pulled out another breath and spoke on the same gentle voice. "I'm really sorry, If you like.. we can actually start with a compromised and just.. forget everything."

His head immediately turned to her when he heard the wotd "compromised" and he stared at her with a mixture of awe and disbelief. He thought of it but he managed to brushed it off his mind just to gave him the positive vibe that he wants. Still, the fact that hearing it from her makes his mind goes 'Oh. No.'

And this makes him challenge her, for he's sure as hell that Dara was the virgin here when he took her, But why it seems like that she doesn't gave any fuss about it and just want it to be forgotten.

Unable to controlled his irratation, he squinted his eyes at her that made her eyebrows go up.

"What?!" she asked more like of demanded from him." A compromise to forget about .. last night. And maybe we can act like we just met after 9 long years and nothing awful happened."

He stood up and glared at her but thought better of it, He drew a single breath and looked at her,forehead creased and said " You're seriously saying that? As far as I can remember, You were a big V until last night, But why is it you're asking for a compromise? "

She flushed slightly but still managed to stared at him. " This is 21st century kiddo, Virginity won't make a big deal anymore."

This time, he took one long stride towards her and raised his eyebrows too, He won't let this go. This was supposed to go as what he has planned and being succesful on his first step just fuel his determination to go further.

"So.." he started on his unusual deep and silky voice that made Dara to took one step backward. "If you're not with me last night and you're with another man, You're going to pull the same stunt you did last night and end up having.. having.. having him take you." Just the thought of her with another man last night makes him unable to uttered the last part. He unconsciously put his left hand and cluthched his chest with his eyes closed that made Dara giggled. Embarassed, he immediately put down his hand .

"I don't know. That will probably happen. Since even before i bumped into you , I really want to drank the night away, with someone or no one." 

Ok, she thought. That was pure honesty because in the first place, she was depressed and alone. What should she do? or did? Just drink.

Chanyeol smirked at her that made her feel of something that she didn't know. She just shrugged it off.

"Let's just forget it."

" And then?"

"We can be friends, and maybe hang-out again.. BUT.NOT.WITH.ALCOHOL."

He chuckled with his deep voice at her and for some reason, Dara didn't like it. Not his laugh.For God's sake, Not his freaking laugh! Because when Chanyeol muttered his agreement with the next scenario that she wanted to happen after of what she so-called a " horrible and hilarious night", She felt that something wasn't right at all.
