Torn between Love and Hate

Chapter Twenty-Six

The next day Dara just pretty much worked in her hotel room until four in the afternoon. But tonight her and Jiyong will be going out to check out the town's famous dance festival. According to Jiyong, he will pick her up at six in the evening. She then took a long bath and washed her hair. She went to the closet where she hang her clothes. She started checking which of the dresses she had brought would fit for a night out. There's only one that she can wear for a night out. She took out the silk red top. It has quite a revealing deep v-neckline almost to her upper stomach. It's a spaghetti strap open in the back which means she will have to wear it bra less, though it has some breast padding inside it. The skinny ripped black jeans she paired it up with is a low waist and she matched it with her black boots and red light jacket. Her jeans is so low that when she lifts her arms ups her abs and her lower back will show. Her make up is minimal as always with only a mascara and lip gloss on her hair is up in style. She paired the outfit with ruby dangling earrings and a black and red bag pouch. Last but not the least her favorite perfume oil.

Jiyong also did just stayed inside his hotel room working. Though so many times he wanted to go out and knock on Dara's door but controlled himself to do so. He doesn't want her to think that he is being clingy to her. It was very hard for him to control himself buts succeeded anyways. He started getting ready and took a long shower. He opted in wearing a black jeans and a red slim short sleeves shirt that shows his muscular forearm and biceps. He paired it with a light black jacket and comfortable casual black slip on shoes. Of course with his favorite perfume.

Six o'clock right on time. Jiyong knocked on Dara's room. "Just a minute." Dara called out as she put on her knee high black boots. She then went to the door and opened it as she already knows that it was Jiyong for he is always on time.

"Good evening!" Jiyong greeted happily as he handed her a dozen mixture of blue and purple colors of roses.

Dumbfounded Dara accepted it with a smile. "Blue and Purple Rose? What is the meaning of these beautiful colors?" She thought to herself. "The...se are beautiful! Thank you." She managed to say as she smelled the the unique scent of the roses. When she looked up they locked eyes for quite long as each of them are trying to figure out how their relationship is going to progress.

Jiyong cleared his throat. "Uhmm...ready to go?"

Dara furrowed her brows and said with an awkward smile. "Y...yes. Uhmm...let me just quickly put this on the table. Be right back." Jiyong just stayed rooted as he waits for her.

As Jiyong pulled up to the parking lot they can already see the amount of people in their festive ways. People everywhere are just dancing straight up on the street. It looks like they have closed a good mile long street so that people can just enjoy walking, talking and dining out on the street. There's a big tent further down the street where the music is coming from. They can see and hear people just having a great time.

Jiyong and Dara took their time walking and watching people. Learning their cultures as people would come up to them to greet them and have a short conversation with them.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to get something to eat first?" Jiyong asked Dara and she nodded her head.

They walked towards the restaurants across. "Do you have any preference?" Asked Jiyong.

Dara looked around at the restaurants before she answered him. With a furrowed brows she said. "Uhmm...I'm not quite sure. But anything would do. How about you?"

Jiyong tightened his lips as he also furrowed his brows looking around as well. While crunching his nose he answered. "Same."

But right across from where they were standing from a group of people came out of the restaurant happily and satisfied. They both looked at each other as their eyes are the ones talking. Jiyong asked her with a glint in his eyes as he moved his eyebrows up and down. Dara on the other hand giddily agreed with a nod. They happily walked towards the restaurant.

The concierge walked them to the empty table outside facing the street. They sat down opposite each other, looked at menus and ordered their food. When their food was delivered they were both surprised as how much food was served.

"Oh wow!!! No wonder those people were pretty happy." Dara exclaimed in amazement.

Jiyong chuckled as he agreed with her. They both looked at their food one last time as they each quietly prayed on their own before digging on their food.

"Thank you. I shall eat well." Dara cutely said. With a controlled grin Jiyong started eating. They ate in silence for a while enjoying their food.

"D..." Jiyong cleared his throat before speaking. "So...how did you end up knowing about building apps? I mean. I thought that your company business is about Marketing and Public Relations?"

Dara tightly lip smiled at him. "You are correct of course about the latter. But my first love was putting computers together from scratch. When I was in middle school I had a computer class and it all started from there. I became really interested in it that I ended up joining geek club in high school." Jiyong was dumbfounded and chuckled a bit. "Hey!!!" She cutely said again as she pretended to be hurt.

"You can laugh anytime you want but I have used all the knowledge I have learned from it. I was able to learn to build and develop robotics and apps."

"Really now!?" Jiyong playfully and sarcastically asked with a bit of a doubt as he looked at her.

Dara raised one of her eyebrows as she confidently said. "Yes. I have. Like the one that your company is using and the reason why I'm here."

"So. You are saying...that...you're one of the people who developed the apps?" Still a bit doubtful as he asked her.

Dara once again raised an eyebrow. "Not just one...but the only one. You will never believe me anyways if I told you the biggest app that I had developed is being use by everyone in the world."

Jiyong smirked arrogantly once again. "Like what? Oh...let me guess you're the one who created Facebook? YouTube? Oh... I know. The... the
Sky-lynk!"

Dara just brushed off whatever he said. "Well that is for me to know and for you to find out." Saying this with full of confidence.
