"Are you sure you don't want us to stay and wait with you?" Bom asked for the nth time.
"I told you I'm ok. He's already on his way." I assured them.
"We'll wait with you then. Maybe it's time we see the face of your lover." I rolled my eyes.
"How many times do I have to tell you that we're not together?" They'd believe me if they knew who he was.
"Yeah keep telling yourself that." Chaerin snorted.
"I don't even know what's your basis of us being together?" I crossed my arms and stood in one foot.
"Uhm duh? He drives you to work and picks you up. Without a fail I might add." Chaerin counted
"And he even drives you here and picks you up and don't give us the it's-along-his-way bullshit. We weren't born yesterday" Bom uttered.
"Plus you practically live together, don't you?" I raised my brow at minzy
"I didn't tell you that. How did you know?" I squinted my eyes at her and she just shrugged
"It's pretty obvious." The two agreed with her.
"You already chose to believe what you wanna believe. You won't believe otherwise won't you?"
"Nope." They chorused.
"Good for you. You know I have a boyfriend when I don't." I snickered.
"We'll ask your boyfriend then." They high-fived and my eyes widened.
We are waiting outside the mall for jiyong and when he arrived they went over to his side.
"I don't think that's a good idea..." but they didn't listen. I panicked when they knocked on his door.
"You know what. I'm not prepared to let you meet him. But maybe next week?" I nervously chuckled and blocked their hands.
"Oh come on. He's already here. Why not now?" They pushed me out of the way and I kept giving signals to jiyong. He lowered his window but just a bit and faked a cough. He's wearing his face mask.
"Hi. You must be dee's colleagues. Nice to finally meet you." I tilted my head hearing his voice.
"Can you perhaps lower down the window?" Bom smiled
"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling kind of well so I'm worried you might catch it." I hurriedly went over to the other side and put on my seatbelt.
"You heard him. Maybe some other time guys. Byyeeee~" I leaned in and closed his windows myself.
"Step on it." He did as told and I sighed but screamed when daesung stopped crouching and sat at the backseat properly. Jiyong chuckled at my reaction.
"You scared the hell out of me! No wonder his voice was weird." Daesung laughed.
"You're welcome. Sorry for hitching with you." My eyes widened.
"Oh no no no. Not at all." I shook my head vigorously.
"I'm just kidding dara. Jiyong is just dropping me off on the way."
"You didn't have to explain." I mumbled. We then arrived at the café where daesung got off.
"Sorry about earlier." He glanced at me and lowered his mask.
"It's ok. I anticipated it." I chewed on my bottom lips.
"I think you should stop driving me–omo." I held on cause he suddenly swerved.
"And why is that? Is someone else going to that for you?" His brows furrowed and his jaws clenched.
"What someone else?"
"That guy you were with earlier."
"What guy?" He rolled his eyes
"That guy that looks like a fish!" Who?
"Donghae?" He was the only one I saw earlier
"Oh, the fish has a name." He deadpanned and I chuckled.
"Fish huh? Now I cannot unsee." I laughed.
"It's not a compliment! I'm insulting your boyfriend." I scoffed
"Why is everyone assuming I'm in a relationship when I can barely have time for myself?"
"Anyway, I didn't want you to come and drive me because they're thinking you're my boyfriend and they want to meet you." He was taken aback
"They do? Your colleagues?" I nodded.
"Well what's wrong with meeting me? Are you ashamed of me?" I looked at him like he had grown two heads.
"You know what, I'll pretend I didn't hear that." He laughed.
Look at this guy, is he bipolar or something? First he was all grumpy and then he's all smiles.
He received a call so I pointed at the cabin letting him know I'll go ahead and he nodded.
I should've waited for him though then I would've noticed someone else is already in the house.
I got in and didn't even question why the door was already unlocked! Stupid of me!
I made a bee line to the bed and slumped down on it and closed my eyes. I smell something good.
"Gee? Did you cook?" I sat up but jiyong hadn't come in yet. I slowly looked to the side and two girls were staring curiously at me. One elderly and one younger who both resembles jiyong.
"That smells nice dee. You sure move fast. Are you that hungry? Didn't I feed you enough?" Jiyong chuckled but froze when he saw me in bed and then he looked at where I was gawking at. To say he was startled, is an understatement.
"Eomma! Noona!" My head snapped at him. I had a hunch but coming out from his mouth had my anxiety shot up.
"A-annyeonghaseyo." I got out of bed and bowed ninety degrees.
"Ah. You must be dee. I heard alot about you from jiyong. You don't need to be formal around us." His mom came and hug me. I looked at jiyong for help but was as stunned as I was.
"Aren't you going to introduce us properly ji?" His sister raised a brow making him snap out of it.
"Eomma, dami noona, this is dara. Dara, this my mom and sister, dami." I smiled politely eventhough I'm panicking on the inside. I just overcame to understand his career, I can't believe I'm now meeting the Kwons. His family. His mom and sister nonetheless.
Is today mind-fuck dara day? Cause I want a warning next time please so I won't malfunction like right now.
