STUBBORN HEARTS<3 (complete)

When It Rains, It Pours

“What?” I asked.

“There's something I want to tell you” he said.

“What is it?”

Oppa's really acting weird. What's happening to him? He looks pale and hesitant.

“I. . . I really don't know how to say this or if I should” he started. Okay, he's really making me

nervous right now.

“You can tell me anything” I encouraged. “Rememeber? I'm like your little sister” I added,

feeling a bile rise up to my throat.

“That's exactly what I want to talk about” he said. “I. . . you see, I tried to deny it but I don't

think I can no longer hide it”

Oh God! There goes my heart, beating wildly against my chest.

“Dara, I. . . I don't see you as a sister. I think I'm falling for you”

OMONA!

AIGOO!

I'm not dreaming, am I? Gah! I should be jumping in happiness right now but I didn't. I just

stared at him blankly. He cleared his throat as he started gaining color.

“Well, I understand if you don't feel the same way to me but-”

“WAAH!” I screamed then hugged him so tight. He feel on his back down on the sofa but I

didn't let him go. I've waited for this. I've wanted this t happen. I smiled but it eventually turned

into a laughter.

What Dara wants, Dara gets. Ha! Really when it rains, it pours. The pest is gone, I got rid of my

“supposed” friends and I just got myself a boyfriend!

This is what I call life.

“I can't breathe” he gasped.

“Oh, sorry” I said then pulled away from him.

“So, are we-?”

“Dara?”

I looked up and saw Dad. I smiled and stood up. I went to hug him.

“You're early” I said, grinning widely.

“Yeah, and you are, too” he said. “Oh, and Wooyoung's here. How are you?”

“I'm doing good” oppa answered.

“Ahm, Dad? Is it okay if oppa will join us for dinner later?”

“Of course. He's always welcome here” Dad smiled, then looked at Woo oppa again. “You're

like a family to us already”

“Ahm, Dad?”

“Yes?”

I bit my lower lip then went back to oppa. I took hold of his hand. “We're already together”

I saw oppa looked at me in surprise. I just smiled at him and looked at Dad. My smile faded as I

saw Dad's blank lok. He started walking towards our direction. Uh-oh.

Dad stopped in front of oppa and gripped his shoulder. I saw oppa winced a little.

“Take good care of my daughter”

I sighed in relief.

“You can count on me” oppa answered.

After six months. . .

With oppa's help, I was able to survive school even without having friends. Basically, my world

revolve around him with school, home, shopping and ice cream at the said. But I'm actually

trying to control myself from eating ice cream often. I mean, I don't really want to get fat again

and get laughed at by that stupid pest.

I pushed Wooyoung oppa away as we were currently in his car. I chuckled a little. Lately, he's

been becoming aggressive, not that I'm complaining.

“Sorry. I lost control again” I heard him say.

“It's okay” I answered and gave him a brief kiss in the lips. I sighed. I can't understand myself.

Before, I used to think that I want oppa to b my first that's why I can't go all the way with all the

flings I had before. But when me and oppa starts getting all intimate, I always pull back.

I know he's getting frustrated already. We've been together for six moths already but all we did

was make-out. I don't know why but that's th furthest I can go. Ugh! I think I'll die a virgin.

“I got something for you” he said. He turned to reach for his bag from the backseat. He opened it

and took out a black, rectangle box. He smiled at me first before opening it.

My eyes widen as a sharp gasp came out from my throat. A necklace with a diamond heartshaped

pendant greeted me. I looked back at oppa, surprised.

“Happy sixth months” he said. I chuckled then hugged him.

“You're spoiling me too much” I said.

“This is nothing compared to the happiness of being your boyfriend”

Aww. He is such a sweetheart. Yes, six months of pure happiness. I could definitely call

ourselves a perfect couple. Ever since we had our relationship, we never EVEN ONCE had an

argument.

“I'm lucky to have you, too” I whispered then pulled back.

“Let me put this on you” he said. I nodded in agreement and gathered my hair on one side. I let

oppa put the necklace on me. He planted a soft kiss on my forehead afterwards.

“It looks perfect on you” he said. I smiled at him in response. Then, I noticed a change in his

eyes. I knew that look so I wasn't really surprised when his face started getting near. But then,

the sound of a phone ringing distracted us. He smiled apologetically at me.

“Hello?” he answered. “Yes Dad. I'm with Dara right now. What? Okay, I'll be there”

“What's wrong?” I asked.

“Mister Shim got into a car accident”

“Mister Shim?” I asked blankly. “Isn't he a friend of your Dad?”

“Yes, he is” oppa answered. “He's close to your father, too”

“Oh, God. I should tell Dad” I said.

“Yes, you should. I'll call you later” he said and kissed me again.

I stepped out of the car later and quickly looked for Dad.

“Where's Dad?” I asked a maid.

“In the living room, Miss”

I went to the living room and saw Dad and Mister Kwon watching a news.

“. . . . the business tycoon didn't survive”

“Jiyong was right” Mr. Kwon said

Dad stood up and quickly turned to Mr. Kwon. “This isn't an accide-” he stopped as he saw me.

“Dara!”

“Dad, I heard about what happened to Mr Shim. I'm sorry for what happened”

“Yes, dear, it is tragic” he answered and patted my head. “If you'll excuse me, I have to make a

few calls” he added then nodded to Mr. Kwon. The latter bowed to me first before following

Dad.
