Still You, Just You

Chapter 27: Your Light

“Hae, where are you going?”

“I’m going to find her…” I said, I felt really angry that I decided to leave.. She must be hurt, must be crying, must be feeling alone…At this kind of moment I know she needs someone. And I need to be there.

I was almost nearing the door when I saw CL and GD walking down the stairs, they saw me too and their conversation got halted.

GD and I stared at each other for a few seconds before I finally left. Indeed he looks pretty mad alright, his eyes were fierce… but instead of an angry vibe it was more of the eyes of a jealous man.

On my way to where I parked my car, I heard Jaejoong behind me, catching up on my trails. “Hae! Wait! How can you leave me alone there? Did you see how scary GD is?”

“Eh, can’t blame him. It’s your fault” I teased.

“My fault? I was just being friendly with her. I saw how uncomfortable she is with me and the whole situation, it was a pretty awful sight so I acted a bit friendly.”

“A bit friendly? What exactly are you doing when he saw you two?”

“Just talking…….. And me patting her head…”

What!? I glared at him. No wonder why he reacted like that, even I would have other idea about it.

“Are you mad?” He follows. “I’m sorry I didn’t know you’re that kind of jealous person”

“I’m not jealous”

“Oh come on. Your stare was a death ray” he exclaims, leaning on my car door. “You don’t need to worry, Hae. I strongly believe that the one for me is a fan, so Dara is clearly out of my list… Not unless she is a fan of us”

He wsshes. I scoffed and unlocked my car. “I have to go”

“Do you even know where to find her?” He asks before I hopped in.

“It’s Dara… Of course I know”

Over confidence? Not at all. Actually, I wasn't really sure about it but it's the first place that popped inside my mind.

As I arrived in the Han river, she was standing close on the edge of the river, staring at the calm waters. I sighed in such relief.

“You’re not thinking of suicidal, right?” I said casually, walking closer to her.

She looks at me, and man she looks dreadful. “How did you find me?”

“It’s not a hard guess.” I said, lifting my shoulders while my hands in my pocket. Ahhhh Now I understand why she loves to go here when she wants to think over things. To where she is standing, the atmosphere is just perfect. The view, the breeze of air, the sound of water rushing, it was very calming.

“Did they tell you?”

“Mm-hmm”

“So are you going to scold me too?” her voice was shaking, like about to cry again. She then sighs heavily. “Look, I didn’t know he would be there, okay. I thought he’s in Japan like everyone said… If I knew he’s gunna finish his activities there early and fly, I wouldn’t have come… But I didn’t… I really didn’t know…”

"You don’t need to explain”

“No I should… Cause I don’t want you to misunderstand. I don’t want anyone to think I broke their trust, that all their beliefs in me to turn into doubts. Because Jiyong was right, dating or not, I still exposed myself to a risky situation. I still somehow disobeyed them. I still broke my word...”
