Still You, Just You

Chapter 46: This Isn't It

Normal POV

“I wonder what’s up?” Kangin says with his hands clasp together and his elbows resting on the table.

A burp escaped from Shindong and he puts down the toothpick on his plate. “Yeah, it’s been… how many hours since they left?”

“3? 4?”

It was breakfast when the two groups gathered and when CL left to check on something, a half an hour later Setia went back and brought Bom and Minzy to their suite. Now it’s lunch time, the guys have already gone to do some activities and the girls still haven’t come back.

“Should we go and see if everything’s alright?” Leeteuk asks, the guys agreed but only a selected few will go with him; Siwon, Heechul and Kangin. Guys who are strong and ready to brawl in case there’s trouble, to carry if there is an emergency, and/or have the skill to talk their way out if there’s an argument.

The four was about to stand when two people arrived and steps into the scene.

“Oh you’re done eating?” the familiar male voice exclaims. Heads turned immediately and their eyes have lightened up upon seeing Donghae and Dara walking towards their area. Their hands are separated and a gap lying between them yet they still look vibrant and fresh, Dara was beautiful with bare face and her hair up in a bun while Donghae looked handsome with his hair up and shades.

“Waaaah! You’re back!” They all stood up and greeted them. Donghae got distant more from Dara as the guys rushed to him, giving him bro hugs, high fives and pats on his shoulders, all acting as if he has been away for a whole year and they missed him badly, especially Eunhyuk who clings to his bestfriend and whines exaggeratedly.

“You’re back already. You know you should have extended until night” Heechul was the only one to stand back and entertain the other one who arrived. “So how’s the trip?”

Dara smiles shyly “Fine”

“Why do you sound so unenthusiastic? Didn’t you enjoy it? Is something wrong?”

She was quick to shake her head and waves her hands. “Ani… I’m just tired”. Before going back to the resort, the two went to the town and went shopping for souvenirs, there’s a ton of people around and it required them a lot of effort and energy to stay unnoticed and keep their identities into hidden, resulting them to be this tired and stressed.

Donghae takes her side after freeing himself from the grasp of his excited members.

“Do you wanna go back to your suite first so you can rest?” he says thoughtfully. “I’ll walk you”

“No it’s okay, we better eat first” she says then her head turns around looking for her girls. “Where’s 2NE1?”

“Yeah. I’m surprised you’re not with them” Donghae seconded.

Leeteuk tells about the situation and their plan to go and check them. And it did make Dara curious, she wanted to leave as well but she offers the guys that she’ll go first and would just call them if help is needed, she’s considering the fact that maybe it’s a lady matter. And it would be embarrassing if they witness like CL in dysmenorrhea or Bom in swimsuit fitting.

“You don’t need to come along” she blurted out when Donghae drops his bag down, as well as the sourvenir purchases down, and prepares on leaving with her. “I can go alone, you’re tired”

“It’ll be just a 5 minute walk. So it’s fine…”

The guys around them then exchanged knowing glances at each other, not because of Hae’s boyfriend-ish words but because of what their sharp eyes made them see.
