Still You, Just You

Chapter 52: Letting Go

Normal POV

“I can’t believe Donghae brought her here...”

“What’s the worry, Pop?”

Heechul was sitting on the couches, watching as their President pace back and forth before him. “Seems our boy isn’t aware and worried about the rumors going on... What if they get caught huh?”

“They won’t be caught. Those two are good ninjas” he says and Leeteuk was there to agree.

The President looks at them, wondering how they can be so sure.

“If they managed to go out before without getting caught, even by us – who’s with Hae like everyday. Then I’m pretty sure they’ll pull it off well this time too”

“But eventually you found out about it”

“Yeah” Leeteuk nods his head. “But I’m pretty sure, the moment they’re caught, they’re ready to publicize and stand strong for it”

“Actually Donghae said they plan to tell the fans about the relationship, once they’re settled and going strong.” Heechul says. “They rather come out on their own than be caught and be judged”

The President shrugs his head and shoulders, not liking the idea at all. Although he’s not against it or what, most of his idols are now dating, it’s just that it’s way too early and risky.

“I’m pretty sure they’re going to accept it positively like Yoona and Seung Gi’s relationship was. They’re both kind and lovable people...”

“I know...” The man in smart casual attire, with thick lenses glasses, takes a sit on his leather big boss chair, swinging it left and right while he contemplates.

“But I don’t know why I feel uneasy about it...” he says. “Like something wrong is gonna happen”

He was gravely serious when speaking but as usual of the mischievous artists he has, Heechul and Leeteuk learned to make fun of it. “It’s the nerves, Pop”

“Signs of aging”

“You both want to be returned to the army?”

The two chuckles, shaking their head aggressively, apologetic of making fun of him.

“We’re telling you, sajangnim. They’ll be fine!”

“We can’t be too sure...” he says tugging out his phone from the inside pocket of his coat. Scrolling through his lists of contacts and dials one from the end.

“Nae Yang Hyun Suk. Good day!”

Dara’s POV

Together we arrived at the hospital, holding hands, side by side, walking down the hallways with masks in our faces. Until we’ve reached the aisles where the private room wards are and sees someone sitting on the floor, by the door way.

“Oh you’re here!” Seungri stands up to greet us. “And so is Mr. Starks… or should I say Mr. Super Junior”

I gave Seungri a quick glare while Hae greeted him normally, knowing nothing about the colors behind that name.

“Why are you outside?”

“They kicked me out. They said I’m only saying silly things and lead up to no good” He hisses.

“But you are...” I concurred. “Is everyone inside then?”

Seungri nodded.

I turned my head at Donghae, he was just wearing this reassuring smile, that I feel slightly uncertain of. It was kind and gentle but I can’t help not to think, Is he sure of letting me go inside and face Jiyong?
