✔ Cupid's Cabin: The Origin

Cabin 45

"Hey, calm down. This party is exclusive to people close to us. Don't worry." Dami assured me. I've been cautiously looking left and right.

"I'm just... scared." Her ryes softened and she put her hand on my elbows.

"I know it could be very intimidating but don't mind it. Just love and trust my brother on this ok?" I sighed. I don't know what to do anymore.

"There you are! I've been looking everywher—what are you wearing?" From a relieved tone, jiyong's voice shifted to something stern.

"I don't know, something called a shirt maybe." I answered sarcastically making dami giggle

"Now there's the dara we know and love." She winked.

"Jiyong stop being so ew. Everyone here knows who she is." Dami rolled her eyes to her brother and walked off

"Did she say I'm ew?" Disbelief all over his face.

"Did she say everyone here know me?"

"Of course. I told you I'm serious about you. We're surrounded by only close friends and family. You're family now." He smiled warmly at me.

"If it weren't for a lack of ring, I thought you're proposing to me." I mumbled and grabbed a glass of wine fro. The passing waiter and was going to drinknit on one go when jiyong grabbed it from me.

"Not so fast. Do you remember what happens when you have a drop of alcohol in your system?" I looked at him  blanky and said, "I don't. Literally."

"Exactly." He muttered and drank it for me instead.

"But I need something strong in my system right now." He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the table but we're stopped by people every now and then.

"Why aren't your members here?" Aren't they part of the close knit circle?

"Dae and seungri are in Japan. Top and youngbae are with their girlfriends too." My brows creased

"Those two have girlfriends too?"

"You didn't know bom is top's girlfriend?" I gasped

"That wasn't a dream?!" I scream-whispered.

"That's why I told you, you don't have to think about my career and worry about my group." Ok... that made me relax a little.

"Is youngbae dating one of my friends too?" Jiyong chuckled and shook his head

"He's dating the actress, Min Hyorin." My mouth formed and O.

"Jiyong dear? Can I take dara away from you?" Jiyong's mom asked

"Ok. But only a bit." I smiled and I followed his mom to the kitchen

"Is this the part where you tell me to stay away from your son?" I hesitantly asked

"No. This is the part where I ask you of a grandchild."

"And then pay me to go away after giving you my baby?" She laughed

"Do I look like that to you?"

"Looks can be deceiving." She laughed again and handed me a tray.

"I've never seen jiyong so... him?" She smiled warmly and opened the fridge to get the small closed cups of salad and put it on the tray I'm holding.

"He has this passion for music ever since he was a kid and didn't really have the time to be a regular kid you know? He learned the ropes of the entertainment industry at a very young age so he puts a mask to protect himself from it. Of course he still shows who he is but not his flaws. As you know a single mistake and the world who pushed him to the top will also be the same world that'll turn their backs on him and drop him off to the ground. Fame is a double-edged sword." I looked down. Is she saying him being with me is a mistake?

"I know that look and no, I'm not saying you're a mistake. It's preposterous to call dating a scandal, it's only a scandal if there's a third party involved. Are you married?" I shook my head no.

"Do you have a boyfriend aside from jiyong?" I snorted

"Sorry. It's just... jiyong's.. kind of my only boyfriend. Like ever."

"Much better!" She exclaimed, taking the tray out of my hands and handing it to one of the servers.

"Dara-yah.." she pulled her chair closer to mine and held both of my hands.

"The world may turn their backs on him and make him fall off the top, everything is going to be fine if you're there to catch his fall and together, you can slowly climb back up."

"I just don't feel good knowing that I could be the reason for the downfall of the career he worked hard to build up."

"Your future husband's a genius. If he goes out from the limelight  and release music as producer under a no one's name, people will still flock to it. He's that good." I laughed

"That's true for the latter part.. but I'm not sure about the future husband part." His mom rolled her eyes on me

"Whatever. Just give me a grandchild." I scoffed

"You just want me for my genes." I joked

"You can't blame me." We laughed together when jiyong strolled in

"What's with you and dami noona taking dara away from me?" He grumbled

"We were just warning her about you." His jaw dropped

"Don't listen to them! Whatever they said it's not true!" His boice voice turned high-pitch.

"Oh, so it's not true that I'm the only girl you brought here. Noted."

"No! That's true! That's true!" Mrs. Kwon and I laughed out loud

"She's not even my wife yet and you're ganging up on me already?"

"If she doesn't end up your wife, you can call me dara. My best friend's son is available." I grinned

"Ok. I'll be glad to meet him."

"Eommmaaa." Jiyong whined

"What? It's your job to make sure she's going to be your wife."

"Whatever. We're going. She still has work early tomorrow." Jiyong pulled me up and I chuckled but he threw me a glare.

Jiyong was busy sulking as we got to his car and I was teasing him. Unbeknownst to us, we'll be front page in tomorrow's paper.
