Torn between Love and Hate

Nineteen

"So...Ms. Dara Park. Is there a special someone in your life at the moment? I know that you have been really focused on building your business and all. But now that you have exceedingly achieved your goal. Is there a possibility that you will start dating soon?"

Dara tried her hardest to segway the questions but almost failed. "Well...I will definitely consider that." She finally said and finished it with a sincere smile that she can master.

"Well then there you go gentlemen. Ms. Dara Park have finally said it. Good Luck to you all. May the best man win Ms. Dara Park's heart. Thank you Ms. Park for giving us an opportunity to interview you today."

Dara nodded and said. "It was a pleasure. Thank you also for having me." Then the interview ended.

"Oh my...I was so nervous for you. I wasn't sure how you were going to answer that question." Kyle was saying as he brushed his hair.

Dara smiled at him just as her phone rang. "Hello."

"Dara, it's me." Donghae said on the other line. "I'm already down here at the front."

Dara looked at Kyle and the latter rushed her to go. Dara then left to meet with Donghae.

When Dara stepped out of the building she saw Donghae leaning on the car looking so hot and sexy. Her knees buckled a bit upon seeing him. He may not be as good looking but he has a body to die for. He was wearing a semi casual button up shirt rolled up showing his muscular built.

Donghae was smiling at her as she came closer and had exchanged their hellos. He then opened the passenger door for her as she slide in the car. She watched him as he went around to the front car to get in to the driver side. They were silent for a moment until he started asking her.

"You hungry?"

Dara shook her head. "Not really."

Donghae understood her. After dating for almost two years, he had come to know her eating habits as well as other types of habits of her. Dara is the type of person who only eat when she feels like it. That is why he thought of having a picnic with her. This was actually their past time every time they get together in the middle of of the day on a Saturday. He drove to the winding road of Griffith Park Observatory their usual place to unwind while overlooking the city of Los Angeles.

After their blanket, their food and drinks are set they both finally sat down. Dara took off her shoe and tied her hair up in a bun. She's unfortunately wearing a skirt this time but Donghae came prepared as he always does. He brought an extra light blanket for her.

She thanked him with a smile as they stared at each other. "Gosh, I miss you so much." Dara thought to herself.

Donghae then lowered his head closer to capture Dara's lips. As soon as they touched he slipped his arms around her waist getting her closer to him. She gasped and he took this opportunity to deepened the kiss. They both took a breather after a long exciting kiss. He captured the left side of her face as he confessed of ... "I love and missed you so much."

Dara's heart was ripped apart because she doesn't know how to explain to Donghae about her marriage arrangement to Jiyong.

———————————————————

Jiyong for two weeks now have been the grumpiest. No one can seem to talk to him without him being snappy and all. Even his relationship with Yu Na has been messed up. They were constantly fighting and now Jiyong is seeing a different side of her that he had never seen before.

"Hyung. What's been going on with you? You've been so hard to talk to lately." Seungri asked as the group are  hanging out at their favorite club.

"If I'm not mistaken. It's all because of his missing wife." Top chimed in.

Four set of questioning eyes looked at Jiyong. Jiyong ignored them by taking a jug of his beer. Then suddenly Seungri started asking questions again as he was looking at his cell.

"Jiyong hyung. Did you know that your wife is actually one of the most influential woman in the world? She just had an interview this morning and they even asked her if there was a special someone in her life." The maknae was saying this as he was scrolling down in his phone as all eyes went to see his phone but Jiyong.

Jiyong snapped out of it and grabbed his maknae's cell phone. He scrolled down as he read the article. Tossing it back to him Jiyong covered his face with his hands as he took a deep breath. Then he took another long jug of his beer.

"So Ms. Dara Park is one he.. of a woman then. Who would've thought." Yong Bae said while nodding his head.

"She's actually better than Yu Na who only cares about herself and being such a spoiled brat. No offense Ji." Top said.

Surprisingly Jiyong didn't mind. Usually he would react on anything that pertains insults to Yu Na.

"Oh my...who is this dude seen with Dara?" Dae chimed in.

Jiyong snapped his head, stood up and took the cell phone again and read the caption. "Who is this mystery man with Ms. Dara Park? Could this be the lucky one?" Jiyong hissed out loud as he palm brushed his hair with both of his hands.

The guys also looked at the picture as the guy and Dara were having a picnic and having a good laugh. The photo was very clear though it was taken showing only their side views.

"Ji. What is really the relationship between you and your wife?" Yong Bae finally asked Jiyong as all eyes are on him.

Jiyong took his time to answer. He took another long jug of his beer and sat back down. "I really don't know man. I mean...we hardly talk nor see each other. Plus she knows about Yu Na and I."

"What!?" Seungri shockingly asked. "She knows that you have Yu Na as a mistress? How does she feel about that hyung?"

Jiyong never really asked Dara about how she felt about him and Yu Na. Because he didn't care at that time at all. "How does she really feel about them being in a relationship?" He thought to himself.

"I don't know and I didn't bother to asked her. Besides we made an agreement to mind our own business as long as she knows about Yu Na and I." Jiyong defended himself.

"Then you also shouldn't careless if she dates other men, even though the two of you are married." Yong Bae brought up to make Jiyong realize that what he did by making his wife agreed to his request goes both ways.

"Ji, you know that Yong Bae is right. You shouldn't stop her from dating other men. Just like you said your marriage is only temporary. It's only good for a year. So what's the problem then? You should be happy because now you only have five more months to go, then you will be free. You and Yu Na can finally be together in peace." Top being the oldest has spoken.

Jiyong took in what his dearest friends have said to him. But it still not sitting in with him.
