Red and black. It was the color of that night that Jiyong really liked. It made him miss partying like this, like the old times, but as he indulge himself with the alcohol and smoke that used to be his best buddies, he wondered why he’s back in here.
It made him wonder why he’s back in his old life.
Banging all clubs at night, drinking and smoking like there’s no tomorrow.
Nonetheless, he missed the feeling of being free.
But he misses someone more.
“Catch, Ji!” hinagis sa kanya ng kaibigan na nasa DJ platform ang mic at tumawa si Jiyong noong saluhin ‘to.
“Pick a good song, hyung!” Jiyong said and he did a thumbs up before playing his song Bang Bang Bang that made the crowd roar in delight.
Kahit lasing si Jiyong ay nagawa n’ya pa ding kantahin ang rap part n’ya. And oh boy, it sounds sexier and hotter when he’s drunk. He did Good Boy next before suddenly singing an upbeat love song that made everyone just lose it. G-Dragon singing a love song while drunk, what can get way more viral than that?
A woman was standing far from behind, watching all his moves while sipping on her cup. Dara was supposed to be here to drink in peace, and now she ends up distracted by Jiyong who seems to be killing himself. Hindi n’ya tuloy ma-enjoy ang iniinom na alak at walang ginawa kundi panuodin ito na lunurin ang sarili sa alak at sigarilyo.
“What’s with him?” Dara can’t help it but mumble to herself while watching Jiyong closely.
“Parang may naliligaw na anghel?” someone suddenly nudged her and found Soo Hyuk who just arrived.
Dara’s eyes widen and Soo Hyuk hugged her. “How are you, Noona?”
“It’s been a while, Soo Hyuk!” Dara happily said before breaking the hug. “Still the same—“
“Oh, I doubt,” he smirked. “I heard about you and Jang Kiyong.”
Natigilan si Dara at naalala ang hindi magandang relasyon ng dalawa. Soo Hyuk and Sungkyung are good friends that’s why he hated Kiyong a lot after what happened. Naintindihan naman ‘yon ni Dara pero may rason naman si Kiyong kung bakit n’ya nagawa ‘yon. She just hopes the two could be civil with each other especially now that she’s with him.
“Yeah…” she forced a smile before sipping again on her drink. “I’m happy.”
“You know the real him, right?” Soo Hyuk’s expression turned dark and serious.
“Yes,” Dara straightforwardly said. “And I still love him.”
Napa-iling si Soo Hyuk at hatalang disappointed sa narinig. “He’s more than what you know, Noona. He’s just the same as his father… or more worse.”
“Mas matagal mo na s’yang kilala… pero mas kilala ko ang tunay na s’ya, Soo Hyuk. Kiyong’s better than you all think of him, so please stop ruining him to me because it won’t work.”
Soo Hyuk heaved a deep sigh before smiling. “I did warn you, Noona…”
“And I’m also warning you.” She smiled back.
Tumawa si Soo Hyuk bago umiling. “I’ll see you around, Noona.”
Dara nodded and he walked towards Jiyong’s position. Sinuntok n’ya muna ang kaibigan sa braso bago bumulong dito. Dara can’t obviously understand what they’re talking about but she saw Jiyong roam his eyes around. Hindi alam ni Dara kung bakit bigla s’yang naglakad palayo, patungo sa mas likod na parte kung nasaan si Soojoo pero namilog ang mata n’ya nang makita si Xin.
