Trapped

Dressed in a white and blue hoodie and pants and with her hair in a ponytail, Dara walked into the restaurant Bajowoo had texted her.

The minute she opened the restaurant's doors, she was greeted with the catchy tune of iKon's 'My Type' making her smile.

Her friends had - once again, chose a restaurant that suited her taste very much.

The feel the restaurant was giving her told her that it wasn't an overly formal place but it wasn't very casual either - it was just right.

"Dara!"

Upon hearing her name called, Dara turned her head and saw Bajowoo with his hand up, trying to call her over.

There were roughly 6 people seated at a long table and all six were giving Dara huge grins.

There weren't a lot of people in the restaurant and the few patrons were a bunch of teens so Dara was not in the least concerned about her identity as an idol getting leaked - the chances of those teens knowing who she was were slim.

She hurried to the table and hugged the man who was still holding his hand up.

"Baj! Missed you~" She said as she clung to the man who was already like a brother to her.

"Missed you too." He laughed before letting the woman go.

Dara turned around and grinned at the rest of the people at the table.

"Been a while Sis." Christina Paik - who they liked to call CP, gave Dara a long tight hug.

They've not seen each other ever since 2ne1's hiatus. Christina knew where she was, but she refrained from going to her as it would only alert the media.

Actually, every person with her for dinner now, she didn't see for so many years.

"It has."

The friends talked for a bit before their food was served.

As they had fun, they didn't realize that the few people who were in the restaurant had already taken a good few photos of Dara that were now circulating the internet.

Halfway through the main course, Xin noticed something weird.

The place Christina chose to have dinner at wasn't really that popular. The food was awesome but the problem was the location of the place - it was just too 'hidden'. It was also a place where mostly teens hung out as the older generation really didn't like places like the restaurant they were in. For those reasons, they were so confident that their night out with Dara won't encounter any problems.

But now he sees flashes of cameras outside the window.

"Damn." He muttered.

"Problem?" Soonho asked.

Their friends were so engrossed in their chat that they didn't notice Xin's cuss. He only did because he was nearest the man.

"Yes. A big one." Xin then discreetly pointed the people outside the restaurant.

"Shit. How'd they know?" He then turned to the rest with a huge smile. "Yah! The media's here!" He said fake laughing.

"What?"

Everyone took turns looking out the window to not look suspicious and sighed.

"Our Dara sure is famous. I didn't know you were popular among youths these days too!" Soojoo exclaimed before showing Dara her phone's screen.

She was showing them a page of a blogger. On the uppermost part of the page was a picture of Dara entering the restaurant with the caption: 'Daebak~ I saw Sandara Park @XxxxxXRestaurant.
