Trapped

Dara marvelled at how great the place turned out but she was quite regretful for not being with them for the first week.

"Brighten up." Jiyong noticed her expression so he decided to cheer her up. "We didn't do much. There were professionals helping us."

Kiwoong raised his brow at the man. Why wasn't he informed of how good Jiyong was at lying?

Didn't do much? They were walking on the path he himself worked on! Jiyong called this not much? The professionals were only there to work on the actual buildings! Everything else - they did by themselves!

Dara only smiled at the man before running off towards Eunkyung who she saw by the inn's door, ready to great her.

"You idiot." Was the only thing Kiwoong told him before walking ahead of him.

"You bought us that much?" He heard Eunkyung exclaim once he entered the doors. She was talking to Dara, her face painted with genuine shock.

"Yeah. Whenever I bought those, they wouldn't even last an hour, so I decided to buy more than usual." Dara answered. She wanted to talk to the woman more but she caught sight of Youngsoon so she excused herself to greet the woman.

"Youngsoon Eonnie." She said with a smile.

"Dara-yah!" Youngsoon was shocked. She wasn't expecting Dara until the next day! "I thought you'd arrive tomorrow!"

"Things went well so I got to return earlier. What can I do to help?"

"Aigo~ Child, you must be tired from the trip. Everything's set and we still have time before dinner so why don't you go to your room and rest for a bit. Why don't I get the boys to show you your room?"

Nagpintig kaagad ang mga tenga nina Jiyong at Chanyeol with the mere mention of the word 'boys'.

Both of them wanted to volunteer but they'd look too eager and a bit weird so they acted as if they didn't hear anything.

For Chanyeol, it was a chance to get closer to his ideal type. Even doing something as simple as showing her her room would be a huge thing for a fanboy like him!

Jiyong saw it as a threat. There was no way in hell would he allow someone else to show Dara her room! He viewed the gesture as something intimate.

"Oh. I'd have to trouble you then."

"Not at all." Youngsoon smiled as she turned to look at Chanyeol. When she was about to call the young man's name, Jiyong immediately walked towards Dara and her. 

"I'll take her Noona." Walang pakundangang sabi nito.

Forget his pride! He wasn't going to let someone else bring her to her room.

Youngsoon raised a brow at the man before nodding her head with a chuckle.

She knew Dara was awkward with new people so she wouldn't have arranged for Chanyeol to take her to her room. She just wanted to see GD's reaction and trap him. Who knew he'd fall for it?

"Okay then. You need help? She has 3." Youngsoon pointed out, teasing Jiyong who now had a deep scowl on his face.

"It's fine. I'll come back for the other one later."

The staff's rooms were separated from the actual inn. Nasa bandang gilid iyon ng property, just behind the actual rooms for the guests. Jiyong was thankful they had made a path that lead to the staff's room. It made dragging Dara's suitcases a lot easier.

"Jiyong, I can carry one you know." Dara frowned as she tried to grab one of her suitcases' handle. Hindi pa naman sila masyadong nakakalayo sa pinaglagyan niya ng suitcases niya kaya mababalikan agad ni Jiyong ang isa pang natitira.
