A New Chance [2NE1 FANFICTION]

Chapter 9

CL's POV

"Alright, you're good to go." The doctor says.

"Thank you!" I say and we leave. I was discharged a few hours after I woke up (the second time with Ji Hoo >.<)

"You guys didn't really have to come..." I say to the girls as we walk to Dara's car.

"Of course we did. Ji Hoo told me everything, so I want to hear it from you now!" Bom says excitedly. Ugh, Ji Hoo! I slap my forehead and I remember this morning's incident. I blush, remembering the feeling of his soft lips as they left my forehead... They felt... so familiar.

"Ah, Unnie's face is red!" Minzy says pointing at my blush.

"Shut up, Minzy!" I say trying to hide my face and Bom laughs. Minzy also joins in with Bom when they ask for my side of the story. But when I look to Dara she is silent. Her eyes are cold and seem to stare into a void. We get in the car and Dara begins to drive. I argue with Bom and Minzy until we stop by the Myeongong gym I found Ji Hoo in.

"Unnie, why are we stopping here?" I ask. How did she know this place?

"I have some business to take care of. Wait here." Dara says in an icy tone I'd never heard before. I wanted to ask to go with her but she leaves right away.

"Hey, what's up with Dara? Is she going for a short workout?" Bom asks jokingly. I sigh. I had a bad feeling about this.

"I don't know. But I'm not waiting around to find out." I say and I get out and the girls follow me. When I walk in there is the loud crack of skin on skin. There is a visible red mark on Ji Hoo's left cheek and Dara's right hand had followed through.

"I know it was your fault. Don't drag Chaerin into your crap. Don't you dare get near her ever again." Dara says with a razor-edge. Fear fills my heart. I remember Ji Hoo's strength. What would he do?

"Ji Hoo!" I yell and run towards them but Dara blocks me off from Ji Hoo.

"Chaerin..." Ji Hoo says. His face was full of shock. He turned away from all of us. He turned his neck to say one thing.

"Sorry. I'll do as you say, Dara-noona." He says and walks away quietly. I couldn't understand what was going on.  

"Dara-Unnie..." I say, looking for a reason. But she turns and walks away. I follow along and brush past Minzy and Bom who stood at the doorway.

"Dara-Unnie!" I say more forcefully this time. She jerks around suddenly and grabs me.

"Chaerin! Listen to me! Never come here or get near Ji Hoo again, you hear me?" Dara says. There is an intense feeling of rage about her eyes. I never saw this side of Dara yet...

"But, Unnie-" I say but she cuts me off.

"Never! Never, okay?" Dara almost yells. I know I can't agree but I stay silent and look to the floor avoiding her eyes.

"Fine. Do as you like. He'll only hurt you." Dara says letting go and she struts angrily to her car. Hurt... me?

The rest of the car trip is silent. We walk into the apartment in silence. There are decorations for a 'Welcome Home' party.

"I'm tired; I'm going to bed." Was Dara's excuse as she walked into her bedroom slamming the door behind her. Minzy and Bom try to coerce her to come out and calm down but she stays silent. I lay down on the futon in the living room in frustration.

It was too complicated for me. Ji Hoo and Dara-Unnie... did they have some kind of relationship? Maybe it... An idea comes to my head. No! It couldn't be... That they... dated? But, that would explain why she said that...

Minzy and Bom give up and go to their bedrooms as well. I walk to Dara's door.

"Dara-Unnie, can I come in?" I ask. I wondered if she was actually asleep. Then I hear the click of the lock. I take a deep breathe and I turn the knob and walk in. I close the door behind me and am tackled with a hug.

"Oh my god, Cl-roo, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to get mad and-, agh, Chaerin!!!" Dara says sobbing. I was surprised but also expectant at the same time. I smile. Dara was still Dara.

"Calm down, Unnie! I'm not upset, but I want to ask you something..." I say and she sobs for a while but stops eventually.

"Aigoo... I'm sorry. What is it, CL-roo?" Dara asks. I wondered how to ask her. I decided to come out straight.

"Uhm... Di-Did you and Ji Hoo date before?" I ask and cringe for a reaction. Dara just gapes at me.

"D-Dara-Unnie?" I ask. She stays silent for a moment. Then she bursts into laughter that startles me.

"Ch-Chaerin! Y-Y*has another fit of laughter* you thought I dated J-Ji Hoo?!" Dara says laughing and I sigh. Obviously I had assumed incorrectly.

"We never dated but we talked the night Ji Hoo..." she paused anxiously. "...played the piano." Dara says seriously. I stared at her for her to continue.

"And I told him to leave you alone." Dara admits and I drop my head into my hands. So then why... did Ji Hoo do all that for me?

"But Cl-roo, it was for you... That night was the first time I, or anyone else in 2NE1, saw you... you... you cry." Dara says and I look up to see tears in her eyes. I hug her tightly and she wipes her tears.

"Dara-Unnie... I'm so sorry. I... just remembered someone in my past that night." I say reminiscing. We separate and Dara looks at me with the 'tell me' look.

"Remembered... something?" Dar asks curiously. I sigh... yet again.

"It's a long story..." I begin to say but she shakes my arm.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Tell it! Tell it!" Dara says.

"Yeah, tell it!" I hear from a muffled Minzy. Dara laughs and I hear a muffled 'Shut up' from Bom.

"Aish, these eavesdropping girls!" I say but open the door for them to come in. They cheer and take a seat in a semi-circle around me.

"Well... That night, when Ji Hoo played the piano, my memories from about... Let's see... 10 years ago flooded my mind. Here's how it goes..." I say reminiscing.
