A Love She Deserves

Hide and Seek

Another week has come. Dara is nervous. It's only two weeks left before the final week of their drama. She and Seon Woong watched the two last episodes last night after editing and it was the ending that they wanted. No one will expect it but they are satisfied with it. Dara just arrived at KEBN building when she saw Choi Seung Hyun arrived. She smiles upon seeing him. She was about to walk towards him but he seems in a hurry that even his secretary is busy typing something on her tablet. Dara sighs. He's busy she thought.

Her day goes by smoothly, she's expecting a call or message from Seung Hyun to have lunch with him but there's none. So, he went lunch with Chae Rin and Jennie in the cafeteria. She saw Seung Hyun again but he was busy talking to an executive. Seeing Seung Hyun give her happiness but not talking to him makes her feel sad.

When she's about to go home, she saw him leaving. Their eyes meet but he immediately looks away even before she smiles at him. She frowns. She doesn't understand why but she feels like he's avoiding her. She sighs and went out of the building to go home.

It's been like that for days. Dara keeps on telling herself that he's just busy. But the truth is she missed him. She missed spending time with him. Their lunch meals together, his smiles, their conversation, she misses him as a person.

Weekend comes. Hye Jung calls her and invited her to join her and Haru on their picnic at home. Seon Woong is busy that day for his variety show. Haru is currently playing with her dolls while Hye Jung and Dara are having tea on the gazebo.

"Congratulations." Hye Jung said.

Dara looks at her. "Huh? For what?"

"For the success of your first TV Drama." Hye Jung said and sighs "Even I'm just there for a cameo role; I didn't feel that my role is just a cameo. You really have good writing skills, Dara-yah." Dara smiles timidly. "Thank you, Unnie. I'm really thankful that Seon Woong Oppa trusted me in writing that."

"Of course he will. He knows how talented you are. Even you were a production assistant, he can see potential in you."

Dara took a sip of her tea and look at Haru. Hye Jung is observing her. Even since she arrived, she noticed how sad her expressions are. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes and she looks like in deep thought. Hye Jung took a sip of her tea and sat properly. "Talk to me, Dara."

"About what, Unnie?"

"There's something bothering you. I can see it clearly ever since you arrived. What is it?"Dara smiles and shook her head. "It's nothing, Unnie. Nothing is bothering me."

Hye Jung smirks. "You're going to lie to me now? Really?"

Dara sighs. "It's really nothing. It's just Choi Seung Hyun-ssi. He seems really busy lately. We haven't talked for more than a week now. I have this feeling that he's avoiding me but I can't think of any reason why he's avoiding me. He's not responding to my calls and messages. I don't know what's happening." Dara mutters. She looks at Hye Jung. She has a funny expression of her face while covering her lips with her hand. "What's with that face, Unnie?"

Hye Jung starts to laugh hysterically. Dara and even Haru, whose few feet away from them, look at her quizzically. Hye Jung uses her hand to fan herself as she tries to calm down. Then she looks at Hy Yeon again with a serious look. "Park Sandara-ssi, be honest with me."

"What?"

"Do you like Choi Seung Hyun-ssi?"

Dara was shocked by her question. 'Do you like Choi Seung Hyun-ssi?' it keeps repeating her mind. As it keeps repeating, memories of her and Seung Hyun also runs in her mind. The way he smiles at her, the way he talks, how gentleman he is, how thoughtful he is, how vulnerable he is when Na Ji Woo came back, and the way he calls her name. Does she like Choi Seung Hyun?
