Chapter 12

"Where to madam?" Dara woke him up so early this morning and told him that she wanted to go somewhere. Apparently, the young miss does not want to reveal where she wanted to go. As a result they have been circling the city for an hour now and he's getting tired. He's not complaining, really. Why would he complain if this is another chance to be alone with her. Completely alone with her. No Fake fiances. Ha!

He glanced at her through the rearview mirror, only to find her staring at him too.

"Up to you," she said. They stopped, for the stoplight turned red. He tried to see if she's still staring. Apparently, she already diverted her attention to a lone jogger on the street.

"I thought you wanted to go somewhere, ma'am?" Jiyong really wanted her to speak to him. He missed her voice so much.

"I forgot where it is located. Can you bring me to your favorite place then?"

"Sure. Your wish is my command." As soon as the light went green, he maneuvered the car towards their favorite place. "I hope you'd like it too."

---------------------------

"Stay here. I'll be right back." Jiyong stepped out of the car and run towards a shop around the corner. He was so fast!

I tried to let him talk and talk by not answering. His voice was really similar to the man named Jingyo. She's not sure if he is Jingyo. And she somehow feels so guilty for being with him right now.

It just suddenly crossed her mind to wake him up and go somewhere with him. When he had asked her where they are headed, she did not know what to say for she acted on impulse. She saw him sleeping peacefully on the couch in her room. She just blurted out that she'd tell him later.

He continued to ask her and talk to her, and that's what she really wanted. He never looked at her when they were alone in the car so when he had asked her once again, she was caught off guard. He had seen her staring at him. However, she had kept her face blank.

"Up to you," she had pretended to look at the man jogging alone on the sidewalk, engrossed in the music he's listening to on his ipod.

"I thought you wanted to go somewhere?" should I ask him if he is also called Jingyo?, I asked myself.

I realized that he's waiting for my answer, curiously throwing me glances while trying to keep his eyes on the road.

"I forgot where it is located. Can you bring me to your favorite place then?"

"Sure. Your wish is my command." As soon as the light went green, he maneuvered the car towards a place he only knows where. "I hope you'd like it too."

She saw him run around the car compartment and put some things in it. Dara did not see what he bought. He shut it close and in a second he's with her again inside the car.

"Are you ready?" he said, with a boyish grin on his face.

"What are we going to do?" Dara asked, eyeing him suspiciously.

"You'd love it there, I am sure."

-----------------------------------

"What?" he asked with an innocent look on her face.

"Are you expecting me to go hiking with this clothes on?" Dara asked incredelously. She's actually wearing a summer dress, gently swaying because of the breeze.

"It's okay. You don't have to worry..."

"I don't have to worry? But we ARE going to climb these mountains! And you are saying it's okay?"

Jiyong's face lit up. Haha. Very much like the first time we had gone to Bukhansan. He could still remembered how Dara nagged and nagged for ages while they were hiking the same mountain a year ago. She had asked him to take him somewhere they can be alone and this place was the first one that came up in his mind.

"Let me finish first okay? I bought us our hiking apparel so don't worry ma'am. Let me just get it for you."

He disappeared to the back of the car and came back with two back packs and two sets of clothes for the both of them. "Here you go." he handed out the clothes to her and put the bags down the ground.

She stared down at the clothes given to her. Where will I change? Is he thinking of letting me change clothes in front of him?!

She looked up once again and was momentarily shocked to see her body guard removing his upper garments without shame. Her eyes traveled from his outsretched arms, battling with his suit, to his bare upper body. He finally won aganst to tricky suit and throw it down near where he put the back packs. He bent down to get a lose shirt. It was a plain black shirt.

"Miss, As much as I'd like to let you stare at me like that for the whole day, I'm afraid we don't have much time. You have to change your clothes too you know."

Ooops. He saw me. Dara felt the blood rush up to her face. What an embarassing day!

She quickly turned around, her back to him. "I am not staring at you. I-its your fault anyway, if you don't want people to stare at you why did you bother changing in the open?"

"Hmm. Because it is easier? Now now. Princess. Go inside the car and change."

"You go inside the car and don't peek!"

"Are you serious?" he almost shouted at Dara.

"Why? Can't I change here too? It's easier." she repeated the same line he had given her.

"If that's how you want it, we'll go back to the mansion now." He's angry.

"Are you yelling at me?" she raised her brow at this. She was the one who's supposed to be angry not him. He had commanded her. HER. His employer. The one he's guarding. And now he's shouting at her.

"No. Dara..." his voice back to the same gentle and loving voice of Jingyo. "Come on. I really wanted to bring you there but if you're going to act like this, it's better if would postpone our getaway and go there next time."

Dara felt so guilty acting like a stubborn child. "Sorry. I'll go change in the car now."

----------------------------

Jiyong smiled a bit. He's enjoying this so much. It's like reliving the past events in his life and he could not stop himself from grinning like an idiot.

"Yah! Why are you smiling like that. Are you happy to see me struggling here...?? UGh!" she forcefully struck her walking stick on the trail. "Why did not you tell me that we are hiking this mountain? It's so steep!"

Oh, yes. This is certainly a repeat of that time.

Dara almost slipped, good thing is that Jiyong got a hold of her hand before she roll down to the foot of the mountain. He pulled her to him and asked, "Are you okay?"

She was suddenly so aware of their close proximity. The blush wasjust an instant reaction. Her hand was on his shirt. clinging for support and by the time that she realized it, the vision of Jiyong changing awhile ago flashed in her mind, making her face become more red than it is already.

"Hey, D-ah... are you okay?" he gently  tucked her hair behind her ears to get a good look at her. "Dee...? Babe?"

Wait. What did he just call me? Embarrassment all  forgotten. She pushed him away from her. "What did you call me?"

------------------------------

Of all things that I would let slip, why should it be her name. Well, my pet name for her that is. But surely, she would not remember it right?

"Did you just call me, Dee?"

"Huh? What are you saying. I think you are okay now. Let's continue on our way." Jiyong released her, making sure that she'd be okay on her own then gently pushed her towards the peak of the mountain. "Come on, madam. We're almost there."

"Wait. Why are you changing the topic. Why did you call me Dee?" she asked again. she stopped walking and she did not want to continue unless she'd get an answer from him. Maybe an answer she'd been wanting to hear for quite a long time now.

"Ah.. well, it's easier to say than your whole name, miss dara."

"Really?" Her face bore this suspicious look. "Well, how about the 'babe' part?"

"Well, you look like baby crying. That's right!  a cry baby!"

"What?! Yah!!!"

"Hey.. hey I'm just kidding come on we have to get there before noon."

She stomped her feet while scrambling up, holding on the railings that are sunk on the rock.

--------------------------------

She just stood there, silently admiring the beautiful view. It was a picture perfect scenery and she could not take  her eyes off of it. "It's beautiful."

But you are more beautiful than the view you are praising, dearest.

The first time they went here, she had teh same starstruck expression. She had asked him for a distraction since she and his father were having a conflict, which she refuses to tell him.

He's happy that he succeeded in setting her mind somewhere else, even now.

"This is your favorite place? It's amazing!" she exclaimed, her eyes bright and wide like a child's.

"Nuh-ah. This only one of them. Come on, let's eat lunch first then we'll go picture taking, ayt?"

Hearing the word lunch, she immediately run back towards him and happily set up their picnic mat. There were so many people there, mostly families having a good time with one another and also old and young couple enjoying some quality time with one another.

There, at the other side of the peak was the Tae Kuk (Korean Flag).

The fulfillment of finally reaching the top has not gone off yet from Jiyong but Dara seems to be so preoccupied in preparing our meal.

"I am starving! Pppali! I want to eat already!" she said.

This girl had not change one bit. "Don't just stare at me! Aigoo, this jingyo."

"What?"

"Jingyo." she repeated.

"My name is jiyong." his heart beating really fast. Does she remember it for real this time?

"I know. But I feel like calling you Jingyo. So you are Jingyo."

Ha! So much for dreaming man! It will take a long time before she finally remember you.

Chapter 11

Recap:

"What are you doing here?!" Jaejoong's voice thundered around the room. His suppressed anger visible to the two other occupant of the room. Only the unsuspecting angel was oblivious to the rage her escort is feeling.

"I am you bodyguard,?he bowed to both of them and for some reason, Dara was not sure though, she saw him smirked at her fiance.

Since dara felt that Jaejoong was not planning to answer, she decided to do the honors, "Nice meeting you..."
"Jiyong... Kwon Jiyong's the name, Madam."

Just a Blink of an Eye
Chapter 11

"Jiyong... Kwon Jiyong's the name, Madam." Jiyong bowed politely and threw an evil smirk at Jaejoong. He knew that the guy already wanted to kill him right now and knew he could not.

"Jiyong..." Dara murmured, her forehead creasing a bit. Why does it sound so familiar?

"Are you sure you..." as much as he wanted to finish his question he just could not. He knows that his father would be in deep trouble if he would not accept this bodyguard. He just have to be more cautious. He started it already, he can't back down anymore. Surely, Dara's father would back him up in this.

Durami, however, is jumping up and down inside, squealing with delight and happiness and the turn of events. She was quite skeptic if her jiyong oppa would agree to their plan but he still did.

She immediately called them that night when her father and that jaejoong went out (Dara unnie was out for a photoshoot once again). It was Bom-unnie who answered her call. She told her what her father plans on doing and how her father wanted Jaejoong to marry her sister. She just could not let that happen.

She knows how much her sister would suffer if ever that wedding would really take place. She asked Sanghyun to help her and her brother agreed. He's really close to her Dara unnie, well they are both close to her. She's just an angel. No one can resist her charms.

Maybe this is their way of preventing the marriage? They decided to put oppa in the house? Maybe I should ask him later what their plan is.

Funny how everyone of them are in their own world. Even Dara...

"D-ah... come jagiya... miss me?" that voice again.

"Dara?" why is he calling me? She held her head once again. The pain is slowly making her weak. "Dara... Are you okay?" She realized that the voice was not from her mind anymore. It's actually from her new bodyguard. Why do they sound so alike?

Another wave of pain struck her and this time the voice she's hearing sounds so familiar. Of course, why would not it be. It's her own.

And so she repeated it. "Jingyo..."

She did not see how the others reacted for she's still in pain. Remembering what she had in the past is not that easy. Well, she really wanted to remember it all, not only because those are her memories but because there are lots of questions in her mind right now that is not falling at the right places.

Durami and Jiyong were surprised to hear one of the pet names dara uses for her beloved. The worry in their faces were immediately wiped away.

"Dara, do you remember.." jiyong was ecstatic. He feels like hugging dara now, Who cares about fake fiance's. Was the memory triggered by his name? Then he should have said his name to her long time ago...

"Who is jingyo?" her eyes still tightly shut from the pain, beads of sweat trailing down the side of her face. How could they forget that she's in pain? "Who is jingyo?" she repeated several times as if by doing so, she'd finally know the mysterious guy. For sure Jingyo is close to her. His words are often said in teh most gentle and loving way.Almost like a husband to his wife. Cooing and sweet.

"Jagiya..." she could still remember how he would whisper to her before they sleep. "Good Night..."

It's so frustrating that she could remember his voice but she could not remember his face at all. No matter what she do to remember it, she could not. Not even the shadow of the person 'Jingyo'.

To make the matter more complicated, she knew the fact that she already has a fiance yet somehow she knows deep inside that she's in love with this Jingyo. Did she cheat her fiance? What a horrible fiancee she is. How could she do that to a good gentleman.

Who is Jingyo? What is he to me?

"It would be better if we let her retire to her room." her eyes flew wide open. Maybe... Maybe it's him. Maybe, jiyong is..."Come on Dara." He was holding her gently awhile ago. making sure she won't fall but right now he's assisting her to slowly walk. "Can you walk? Do you want me to..."

"Let her go," It was a subtle warning to Jiyong that he's doing what he should not be doing and he realized his mistake. He wanted to be with her so badly. He prayed every night for her to finally remember him and being with her right now, he almost forgot the promise he made to Mr. Park. Well, he already broke it anyway, coming here and introducing himself to her.

It's risky but he would let them just put Dara in the hands of someone whom he does not know.

On the otherhand, Jaejoong was alredy panicking, thinking of something to say in his defense. He knew he had dne something wrong and if ever Dara would remember everything, he would be hated for eternity. Dara is such a sweet individual but when it comes to this guy, who stands so painfully close to her, she just would not budge. She even chose him over her parents. And that's the reason why she's right here, without a memory and in danger.

That's what she gets for being stupidly in love with this bodyguard. But he's here to save her. ANd he'll do anything to make her realize that she should've chosen him instead.

He'd make her fall for him.

***************

"Can't you persuade your dad into backing out and pull out that imbicile out of this house. You know how this would complicate things, jaejoong. you should have asked your dad to refuse him." In-su was literally boiling with hate and anger. How could this happen. They almost got him away from their daughter yet, here he is again.

"Huh, pretending to be a rich man's son now. Did he really think I would accept him just because he's rich? For all I know, he just asked the Mr. Kwon to do him a favor. If he's that influential why did not he help his son with this mess he set upon my daughter. Why is he standing leisurely at one corner watching this disaster unfold in his eyes. If he's that big, why did he allow his son to be in this deep.."

"Mr. Park, calm down. We don't know yet but if you want we can ask for a meeting with Mr. Kwon to solve all these problems."

"That we should do. Where is that bodyguard?"

"He's with Sanghyun and durami in Dara's room."

"We should do something to get him out of here. We can't let them be together."

"I will do everything I can.."

Not Like the Movies

Part 2

One and Only You

(Jiyong's POV)

Dara had been so down these days. I always see her looking down or staring at nowhere in particular. I kind of feel betrayed because I am her best friend yet she's not telling me everything that I should know.

And what's more surprising is she turns like a statue or a walking doll with no soul whenever I am around her. Does she not like it whenever we're together?

I am actually very excited for this YG Family Concert like everyone else. I would once again have a chance to work with these amazing performers, who are also my friends, especially my best friend. I love her so much. Opps. Keep that a secret! I have not told her yet about my growing feelings for her. Only Bom-noona knows of it. She promised to help me in wooing my best friend.

The trainer asked me to sit with minzy, I was very much dissappointed since I wanted to sit with her. It's been so long since I saw her. Big Bang preparations for the comeback is so hectic that I could not have the time to walk gaho. My poor gaho. I promise to give him all the dog food he wants so I think he conceded haha.

I told Hyunsuk hyung about my plan and he said that it's okay but I should know that there are consequences for executing my plan.

I don't care anymore. I have been waiting for so many years now to tell her how i feel. I promised my fans that I would tell them if I am already dating someone, so why not confessed right in front of them?

"I know I told se7en that he should've revealed his and byul's relationship at a concert but I was just jesting, Jiyong. Imagine how the fans would react to that!" Hyunsuk hyung pointed out what effect would it do to Dara and me but i don't care anymore. I just want to be happy and my happiness is to be with her.

So I always try to capture her attention but she would always avoid me. It seemed like she does not want to be in a room where I am in. Should I reconsider my plan? Should I just...

No, I should not let her actions sway my resolve. I will tell her what I feel today.

"Bom-noona, what song are you gonna sing tomorrow?" I winked at her and I know she already got what I am implying.

"You and I, I already told you yesterday!" she shouted at me. I chuckled and turned to ask Dara if she had time to go on a coffee date after the concert but she hastily stood up and walked away, not even saying goodbye to us.

My hand acted out on impulse and gripped her right arm tightly. "Dara, where are you going?" she looked at me, with eyes moistened and tears threatening to fall. It's not only the tears that shocked me but also the pain and hurt I see in her eyes. Are you okay? What happened? I wanted to ask but I could not. My voice won't come out.

"A few more minutes and I'll be up for my solo." she responded.

"Oh, I see..." I released my grip on her, "Hwaiting!"

"Nae, Dara, hwaiting!" Bom-noona cheered her, too.

I thought she would loosen up a bit and at least smile at us but she did not. She turned around and walked out of the waiting area.

"What's wrong with her?" Bom-noona asked me when she was almost out the door. But my eyes are still following her. It feels like something is not right. Dara why are not you telling me what bothers you?

"Omo! Is she jealous of me?"

"Huh?" I was confused as to what bom-noona is trying to say. Who's jealous to who?

"Dara, your santokki, is jealous because whenever you are with us you always talk to me first!"

"Eh? but you know that I only do that as a strategy to get to her. Besides I could not catch her alone. I always see her either with you or the other girls or with the other big bang members. Wait, I always catch her alone with all of you, well, except seunghyun hyung, but well almost all of you but never with me!"

"Of course you would not catch her alone with yourself since you ARE yourself! Duh! anyways, regarding the strategy you are saying, only you and I know that. She does not even know you like her so if you are her, what would you think if a guy always asks for another girls attention. Omo!"

"Dara, on stand by. After  the colab between se7en and Gummy, you're next." we both stared at the TV screen showing the stage performances. Gummy noona and Dong wook hyung are already waving goodbyes as the light slowly dimmed. Fans are still focused on them.

Lights out and the crowd was waiting for the next one who'll perform.

A few moments, and the spotlight focused on a girl, sitting on a high stool at the middle of the stage where they dance I don't care awhile ago.

Her expression, so serene and painful I could almost feel her pain. Why? Dara? Is it because of me?

The audience cheered and called her name but after hearing the music, they realized it would be a solemn song. A love song.

I don't recognize the music. "What song is that?" I asked bom-noona.

"I am not sure." she answered.

"It's a famous song in the Philippines. She personally requested this. She was murmuring something about for the last time. I don't know." I did not realize the trainer was with us watching her. "It's a very beautiful sad song. I can feel her pain even during practice."

Dara's sweet and melancholic voice filled the room as she started singing.

I'm Your Average Dreamer

I'm a True Escapist

Always Expecting a Happy Ending...

Maybe I've been watching

Too many movies

Maybe I Should Grow Up

And Stop Pretending

I know that she somehow feels something for me but I did not know that she thought that she's having an unrequited love. Now Ifeel bad for not tlling her right away. All those sad looks and glances... I should've known...

When I saw your face though

Everything was slow-mo

And I started wondering why...

Why Can't it be

Just a pathway full of roses

Leading to a sunset view

With the one you've always dream of waits

Wait, i should clear the misunderstanding. I ran out of the room and went to the PD.

"Hyung, who's going to be next?"

"It's you and TOP for Double Combo. Why?"

"Can we change the schedule? Let's talk somewhere else." and I led him to a closed room.

*******************

It's now or never. You have to do this now. Don't back down. Be a man.

Just a pathway full of roses

Leading to a sunset view

With the one you've always dream of waits

Why Can't it be

It was like a movie scene the way I fell for you

Only you, didn't fall

Now it's not like the movies at all

Woo... Oh... Ohh...

The lights went dead and the crowd erupted in cheers and cries. I can see her shoulders shaking. She's crying. She's crying because of me. Because I am not brave enough to tell my feelings to her straight.

But I can still right this. I want to end her pain. I nodded at the PD to tell him that I am ready. The music started playing.

She sang me a love song, and so I will reply a love song to clear things out.

It took one look

And forever laid out in front of me

One smile and I died

Only to be revived by you

I remembered when I saw her first shy smile. She looked like an angel sent down from heaven. We were trainees back then. I thought she's younge than me but i received the shock of my life when she told me that she already three years older than me. She calls me dongsaeng but i never wanted her to call me that. Back then I thought it's just because it feels so weird to be called dongsaeng when she looks younger than me.

There I was

Thought I had everything figured out

Goes to show just how much I know

'bout the way life plays out...

I tried convincing myself that I see her only as a friend but to my heartache, she left and I realized how important she is to me. Not just as a friend but as someone whom I would want to spend my forever with. I started walking towards her. She is still seated on the high stool. The crowd were all screaming now.

I take one step away

But I find myself coming back to you

My one and only, one and only you... ooh...

She slide down and stood, whirling around. I saw her shocked face. Yes, santokki.

Now I know

That I know not a thing at all

Except the fact that I am yours

And that you are mine

You are mine and I would want to share you with anyone else.

Ooh

They told me that this wouldn't be easy

And no

I'm not one to complain...

Fans would hate us for loving each other but I hope that they would someday be happy for us. But before that happens I still have a confession to make.

I faced the fans, all yg fans. I smiled at them and waved. "Annyeong!"

"Annyeong!" they answered back.

"I told you that I would tell you if I a already dating someone, right?"

I heard gasps from the crowd.

"No, no. I am not dating...YET. But I would like to take this opportunit to ask a very speial someone if she'd like to date me, or maybe be my girlfriend instead."

I turned to Dara who is still staring at me with are-you-out-of-your-mind look on her pretty face.

"I am your best friend but I have to say sorry, sorry but I don't want to be your best friend anymore... I want us to be more than that.

"Be my girlfriend Sandara Park, my butterfly, my only star... be mine..."

I am now down on bended knees, showing her teh ring I showed her a few weeks ago. i tried to give hints but i guess she's just too slow? eh? hehe or her mind is clouded with her thoughts of me liking bommie.

I take one step away

But I find myself coming back to you

My one and only, one and only you...

I thought she would say no but with tears once again trailing down her cheeks, she murmured a "yes".

I slipped the ring on her finger and hugged her. She silently cried while the fans are all crying, clapping and cheering for the both of us, too.

I am happy that they are glad for both of us but that happiness is overpowered by the bliss I am feeling for having my one and only star.

"You are mine." I murmured.

"As you are mine too.."

"So is it really not like the movies at all?" I asked, a lopsided smirk painting my now proud and happy face.

"No, this is way better than all the movies I have watched." 

Not Like the Movies - Chapter 1

 Not Like The Movies

Part 1

 Not Like The Movies

Chapter 1

Of Course. Who would not know Dara Park of 2ne1? She's pretty famous. They sometimes call her Goddess D. She's so beautiful inside and out. She had been through a lot of trials but she did not falter. She stood her ground. She never let those people win and let herself fall down. Yes, that's Dara Park for you, the mascot of the group. The Ahjumma. The Fake maknae. Yes, they call her lots of nicknames.

But one moniker is closest to her heart the most. Santokki. Why? Because her bestfriend was the one who started calling her that.

Santokki. His Little Rabbit.

That's me.  I am Sandara Park and I am in love with my bestfriend. No one knows it aside from my friends back in the Philippines. Even Bom, CL and Minzy don't know my feelings about him.

Last night, I was crying again. And yes, it's because of him. It hurts so much to see him with someone else. I called my friend Roxanne and told her about the recent heartache I am feeling. She was just there listening to my rants and cry, and by the time I finished, I heard her heave a heavy sigh.

"Sandy... Why don't you just tell him how you feel? I know that we've talked about this already," she said right away.  "But you have to tell him or regret it in the end."

But I would shake my head forcefully and whisper, "I would just embarrass myself. He sees me as a best friend only Rox, I don't want our relationship as friends to be awkward because of what I feel for him. No, my secret will just stay between you and me and Melissa."

"Don't tell me I did not warn you..." she said. Her voice still sweet. I know she wants me to be happy but it's impossible. It's obvious how he likes Bommie. Yes, you heard it right. He likes Bommie, the way he looks at her, the way he acts whenever we are around her. That's also one of the reasons why I did not tell the girls.

My heart breaks every minute I see him smile at her. And I think Bom also feels the same. So I really don't want to mess it up.

"So, I heard that you'll have a concert This December Sandy... Is it true?" Roxanne asked, that night. She was trying to make me think of something else other than this. So I pretended to be swayed.

"Ah! Yes, First weekend of December. It's not 2ne1's concert. The whole YG family will be performing there too. Do you want to come and watch?"

"I'd love to Sandy but I have movie projects and guesstings on my schedule. I am sorry." she said but added, "But I promise I'll visit you this Christmas!" rightaway.

"Oh, okay. Hmmm have to sleep now. Preparations for the Concert will start tomorrow so I need to sleep early. Bye, Roxy! Mahal Kita!"

"Bye, Labsyoo too Sandy! Kita na lang tayo sa Christmas!"

***************

We are all so busy with the practices and preparations for the concert. We are now in the practice room and everyone is so excited about it. The room was full of happy noises from all the people, funny how the only voice I'm hearing is his.

"Everyone, listen here please. We have to start our practice now. Boss YG will be here this afternoon so please conduct yourselves properly." I feel bad for the trainer so I instantly sat down at the nearest seat.

Someone instantly sat down beside me too, I don't how my heart does that but before I even looked at who sat beside me, it seems like it already knew.

"Hello, Santokki!" jiyong greeted me with a wide grin. I smiled at him.

"Hello, Dongsaeng..."

"I told you not to call me that!" he whined.

"Yah, G-dragon! Why are you there? Go sit beside Sean and minzy!"

"Eh? I want to seat beside my Bestfriend!" sounding like a child. I could not help but chuckle at his childishness. He heard me and so focused his attention back at me. "Yah! Don't you want to sit beside me too? Don't you miss your best friend?!"

I was clutching my sides now, and almost in tears when I slightly opened my right eye, i don't know if it is just me, his eyes were like staring at me like... oh no.. no.. no.. your delusional mind is kicking again. You should learn to control your feeling, dara!

"I have missed you, Dongsaeng. so go and sit beside minki now. Will still be able to talk later. Work is work right?" I know how serious he can be when it's work time so I know he'd understand.

"Ah, yeah Okay. Let's talk some other time. Maybe, a coffee date with my bessy would do?" he asked.

"Sure, but we have to work so go now!" I pushed him and T.O.P replaced him. "Seunghyun." I said as a way of acknowledging him.

He just beamed at me shyly. Huh. This guy. He's so manly in front of everyone but to all of us here he's like a shy little boy, too timid to even have small chit chat. How adorable.

The practice went well, everyday had been so busy we could not have the time to rest that much, or to even update me2! Oh, I miss updating the fans.

And so the day of the concert finally arrived. All of us will have a solo performance aside from the group one. I will perform mine today. I just want to get this off my chest. Once and for all...

**************

"Bom-noona, what song are you gonna sing tomorrow?" jiyong suddenly was with us again and of course, trying to get bommie's attention again. Should I eave the two alone?

"You and I, I already told you yesterday!"

See? She already told him yet he would still ask just to talk to her. I heaved another heavy sigh and decided to just leave them before I even cry in front of them.

"Dara! Where are you going?"

"A few more minutes and I'll be up for my solo." Please don't ask me to stay anymore.

"Oh, I see..." he said, releasing his grip on my arm. "Hwaiting!"

"Nae, Dara, hwaiting!" Bom cheered me, too. But I could not even give them a smile back. It hurts so much. I turned around without saying anything.

"What's wrong with her?" I heard Bom's voice before the PD called my name.

"Dara, on stand by. After  the colab between se7en and Gummy, you're next."

"Comin'" my voice almost broke. I was restraining myself from crying.

"Daa-unnie!" CL and Minzy suddenly appeared beside me. They are worried about me, maybe they thought I am nervous about my solo performance. I tried to smile for them but failed so I just looked down.

"Oh, Dara-unnie, you'll be fine! You can do it!" oh my sweet little minki... I hugged her.

"Dara, go to your place now..." PD's booming voice made me release minzy.

I sat down at the high stool. It's dark. I can't even see a soul. If not for the murmurs from the audience I would think that there is not anyone here.

Then the lights turned on, lights focused on me. Fans are shouting my name. The music started playing and they suddenly felt the song would be not the usual songs 2ne1 sings.

I'm Your Average Dreamer
I'm a True Escapist
Always Expecting a Happy Ending...
Maybe I've been watching
Too many movies
Maybe I Should Grow Up
And Stop Pretending

All the memories I've been keeping flashed in my mind like it's just yesterday. I should not have believe in fairytales, where everyone lives a happy life. Where the princess gets her prince. where the damsel in distress gets rescued. where the girl who falls in love would be rewarded an ever lasting love.

It did not work for me...

When I saw your face though
Everything was slow-mo
And I started wondering why...

Why Can't it be
Just a pathway full of roses
Leading to a sunset view
With the one you've always dream of waits

"Dara-ah, look!" jiyong pointed at the sky yet when I looked up I saw nothing but the evening sky. I was about to retort and scold him for tricking me but when I looked back at him once more, he's holding a small box.  I thought my heart stopped beating for a minute.

He opened the velvet box and it revealed a simple but beautiful  engagement ring. I stared at in awe.

"It's an engagement ring."

"Yes, it is. What do you think? Do you think she'll like it? Is it beautiful?"

Why Can't it be
It was like a movie scene the way I fell for you
Only you, didn't fall
Now it's not like the movies at all
Woo... Oh... Ohhh...

Should I kept my heart shut?
Should I've been more patient?
Should I kept an eye on my addiction?

"Omo, Dara's crying!" one fan shouted. I did not notice that tears are already falling down my cheeks. My heart was breaking into small pieces. I continued to sing. Some fans were already crying silently with me.

What was I expecting?
Did I have a vision of a scene, that only lives in fiction
Now I know that you are not
Gonna be my co-star
And I start to wonder why...

Why Can't it be
Just a pathway full of roses
Leading to a sunset view
With the one you've always dream of waits
Why Can't it be
It was like a movie scene the way I fell for you
Only you, didn't fall
Now it's not like the movies at all...

Yes, this song is for him. For my best friend. For kwon jiyong. And our love story, is not like the movies where both of the characters fall deeply in love with the other. Where characters end up with each other.

Yes, there's a pathway full of roses but the man who's waiting at the end of the aisle is not waiting for me... His heart belongs to someone else...

After this song, I would stop asking why...

It's time to stop my daydreaming...

It's time to grow up...

It's time to move on...

It's time for me to let him go for he would never be the leading man of my life's movie no matter how much patience... I will only gain heartaches and tears...

Just a pathway full of roses
Leading to a sunset view
With the one you've always dream of waits
Why Can't it be
It was like a movie scene the way I fell for you
Only you, didn't fall
Now it's not like the movies at all
Woo... Oh... Ohh...

The lights went dead and the crowd erupted in cheers and cries, it's finish... so is my love for Kwon Jiyong...

Not Like The Movies - Prologue

 Author's Note:

I wrote a new story and this one is going to be a three part story only, prologue excluded. So all in all four chapters only. Hmmm. I was inspired by another sad song again. If you want to listen to it I'll put it up on my Song's Page on facebook bandpage cause sony deleted my video. :x 

Anyways, here's the prologue, a very short one. Tell me what you think about it... ^^

Not Like The Movies

Prologue

All of us dreams of our happy endings. You might not want to admit it and would even say 'It's oaky even if he does not love be' or 'I am fine with a one sided love'.

No offense but I think even if you keep on saying that to yourself, thinking that somehow someday you would come to learn to do just that. Even if you tell yourself a million times that you are happy for him, you knw deep inside you that it youa re not. That somehow, you are hoping that he would love you back, begging and desperately wanting him and craving for his attention, crying out to the almighty God to change his heart and make him fall for you.

You ask me Why I know this? Because that's what I am feeling now.

My name is Sandara Park and here starts My Love Story... My Own Movie Story...

Mine is Not Like the Movies at All...

Haven't Met You Yet -Chapter 12

Authors's Note:

Nope So hee is not a bad girl here. She is more of like a family to teh Parks. Dara is just a little jealous to see Jiyong with another girl. You see they are ignoring each other and she felt so envious of sohee talking to Jiyong. But of course, she did not know that he talked to sohee because of her. She has so many stories about her and saw the girl got her attention. Nothing else. ^^

Haven't Met You Yet
Chapter 12

Chapter 11 Recap:

"But seriously, don't do that again, okay?" I whispered, playfully pinching her nose.

She giggled. God! How I've missed this little chicken.

Then her face grew serious. "I saw you Sohee a while ago..." Do I hear jealousy in her voice?

"Oh, Sohee? Yeah she told me quite a lot about you..." I said with a teasing tone.

"Me? You were talking about me?"

I looked around the room pretending not to hear her. "Hmmm. Just this and that... You know."

"Ya! Jiyong.. what did Sohee tell you?" she shouted at me.

"Oh, It's really late now. I feel so sleepy..." I said in a rush before going out of the room leaving the furious rabbit alone.

"JIYONG!!!!!!"

Haven't Met You Yet

A Serious Talk with Little Rabbit's Halmeoni

Chapter 12

Jiyong and I are inseparable these days. We are always seen together and always laughing and playing around. We went fishing the other day and I proudly caught one big fish. Which is what we are eating right now.

This is actually our last day here. We spent most of our time enjoying Busan with Eomma, my two siblings and little Sohee. Of course all worries about her now gone.

"Yah, Jiyong-oppa. I decided not to call you oppa anymore!"

"Eh? why?" Jiyong asked her, faking a hurt look. "Don't you want me as your Oppa anymore?"

"Yes, But I want to call you Appa now." Sohee giggled to herself.

"Appa?!" Jiyong and I both shouted. We are both surprised to what this girl is implying.

"Why would you like to call Jiyong Appa?!" I asked her.

"Hmmmm. Because I want to. And you will be my Eomma! Now we are big happy family. Sanghyun and Durami will be my siblings!" The girl clapped enthusiastically.

I looked at Jiyong and saw him smiling. When he looked at me I hastily looked away and pretending to scold the girl. He is enjoying this. He really is. tsk tsk. Well, I guess I am too. hehe. I suddenly imagined myself being his wife and doing chores wife had to do. Ah... ehehehe.

It's almost six in the evening so we decided to go back home. We have to be careful since Halmeoni is so fragile. We can't  let her get sick again.

That night I received a message from the entertainment company again and they told me that the president wanted to talk to me regarding my contract. So we told Halmeoni that we had to go back to Seoul the next day.

I know that she's sad again for she really missed us but Eomma will stay. Only Durami, Jiyong and Sanghyun will go with me.

I have not told Sohee yet. I bet the girl would be upset once she learns of the plan. She had grown so close with Jiyong, treating him as her true father. I feel quite giddy about it actually. Heehee. Me being Jiyong's wife.

I wonder if he also feels the same? Hmmm.

Anyways, I was about to go to my room and sleep when I heard Jiyong's voice.

"Dae... Dae..." he kept on repeating it. It's a respectful way of saying yes here in my country. Who could he be talking to? Aha! I will surprise him!

But I stopped short and hid myself behind the window when I heard his next words.

"Yes, Halmeoni. I will take care of her. I won't let anything happen to her."

"I know that she is special to you, Jiyong. Don't hurt her okay? You have my blessings to court my granddaughter. I will feel rest assured if my granddaughter will have you. Promise me, you won't make her cry, nor you won't ever hurt her..."

"Dae, Halmeoni. I promise."

"You won't leave her?"

"Dae, Halmeoni."

"You will love her forever?"

I almost gasped when I heard my grandmother asked this question. I covered my mouth with both of my hands, holding my breath. Jiyong is not answering yet. My slowly bowing down in defeat. Of course why would he..

"Dae, halmeoni. I promise."

"He... said yes..." i whispered, not quite believing what I heard.

******************

"Eomma!!!!!! Why do you have to leave???!!!!!" Sohee is literally wailing and crying her heart out. She's so upset.

I hugged her and promised that I would go back and see her again together with her appa.

"Promise?"

"Uhuh" Jiyong put his arm around me and pinched sohee's cheeks. "We'll be back in no time, little girl. Don't worry. we'll give you lots of chocolates and toys when we get back" he said, sounding like a true father to Sohee, assuring his little princess.

"Okay," she chirped, she gave both of us one last hug before she let us go and get in the van.

"Ehem.. ehem..." It was my little brother.

We both looked at him. "What?" I asked him.

"Hyung, your hands.." Sanghyun pointed his finger where Jiyong's hand is.

"Eh?" we hastily let go of each others hand. I can feel myself blushing. What was that?

My brother smirked at me while I looked out of the window. I feel so uncomfortable for Jiyong kept on glancing at me.

"So, what time do you have to go to your boss?" Durami got the tumbler out of her bag.

"I told them that I will go there tomorrow."

I am so aware of his presence beside me, I could not concentrate at all. I somehow wished that Durami and I would switch places but that would be very uncomfortable too since I'd be sitting across from him.

I opened my purse and got my ipod out. I have to divert my attention or I'll go crazy.

Put on my earphones and listened to a love song from Regine Velasquez. She's my favorite singer in the Philippines.

Just one glance took away my breath
Then you drew me in with your tender--

1 message received

Someone sent me a message. I rummaged through my bag and finally grabbed the phone out. Who could it be?

Baliw (crazy) sent you a message.

I'll text you where to meet me.

"Yah! you too! Are you texting each other? Why don't you just talk, you're just sitting beside one another. Seriously!" Sanghyun tried to grab my phone from me but Jiyong beat him to it.

"Who are you texting, wifey? Should I tell Sohee you're being unfaithful?" he said, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Hmmm. Is this how you want it?

"I am not being unfaithful to you, hubby." holding his hand, and squeezing it a bit. "I am just sending a message to a very important person, a VIP you know."

I saw him blush a little. Ha! I'm shocked! I have this effect on him? an eveil grin appeared on my face.

"Why don't you give my phone back here so I can finish my chat with him. I'll give you a kiss if you'd do my bidding." I said, seductively, winking at him.

My face drawing nearer and nearer to his. I felt his grip on the phone slackened. I smirked at him, like the way he does to me. It's time to give a dose of his own medicine.

I stopped just a few inches from his face. Our noses almost touching. "Gotcha!" I murmured.

I heard Durami giggled and Sanghyun wolf-whistled so I gave them both a triumphant grin. You should learn from the expert little kids! Kekeke.

"Hyung!" still laughing at Jiyong's expresson. "Are you back on earth now? Seriously you too, get married already!"

My phone beeped again.

Chapter 10

"Mr. Park, May I have a moment with you please?" Jaejoong politely asked. The older man was busy reading some reports given by his secretary. "I thought you're going to spend your time with my daughter?"

"Actually, sir, that's what I want to talk to you about. Dara remembered something today."

In-su looked up suddenly with a worried look, "Really? What did she remember?"

"Hmmm. not yet that detailed Mr. Park. She just remembered a name."

"A name?"

"Yes, sir."

"Whose name did she remember?"

"Yongie."

"Why? I mean how did she.."

"Maybe it's because I asked her to call me Joongie. It might have triggered her mind to remember it."

"then you should have tried to cover it, because she does not even know who that yongie is right?"

"I tried it but she apparently saw his built and she said that the "yongie" guy is shorter than me."

"Okay I'll ty to sway her thoughts from that name later. But for now, Have you asked your father whom we can trust to guard our princess?"

"Not yet, but I was planning to call him after my meeting with you, so no need to worry. And her manager woo young is with her right now. I told him of that he should take care of her while I am gone."

"Well, go ahead then. Talk to your father. Go home right away. I don't like  her manager , he knows too much. He might tell her something he should not be telling."

"I'll hit the road then." He bowed and left Mr. Park.

*****************

Jiyong and Seungri came home late last night because of the incident with Young Bae. Luckily, the girls patiently waited for them.

"What took you so long?!!!" Bom shouted at the two boys. They had just entered the pad and the Bominator is already glaring at them. Seungri went to hide behind Jiyong.

"Noona, calm down." he said.

"Calm down? You made us wait for four freakin' hours and you are telling me to calm down?!!!"

"It's okay Bom-noona, it looks like you ransacked my kitchen anyways." ji shrugged and walked on.

"Ha! That's only your payment for being late. Anyways, what happened?"

"Nae, Oppa. What happened why were you late?" chaerin asked.

Jiyong plopped down on the ouch while Seungri ran towards the other side where minzy is. Ji looked ta Bom and hesitated if he should tell her. After all, she had once been with Young Bae.

"Yah! Kwon! Tell me now. are you hiding something from us now?!" she approached him and throw a pillow at him. "Spill it out." crossing her arms infront of her.

"It's Bae. He contacted me."

Bom was still shocked hearing bae's name and so Chaerin asked jiyong, "So the psycho comes back. He really could not understand that Dara-unnie will never love him."

"What did he do?" Bom's almost like a whisper voice interrupted them.

"I was the one driving and someone overtook us and almost scraped the car. We could have been in an accident today. Then hyung called ji-hyung."

Ji continued where Seungri left off and told Bom what had transpired between Bae and him. He knows that Bom is in love with Bae, but she is aware of the latters feelings towards her bestfriend. She tried to overlook it and tried her best for Bae to love her instead of Dara.

"So he's just crazy over Dara? That he would forget everyone else for her. I mean no offense Bom Unnie but although wea re all aware that he's in love with her, Dara unnie is not the only person who is supposed to be special and close to him. jongie-oppa is his bestfriend for crying outloud!" Chaerin exclaimed.

The phone rang and everyone hesitated if they should answer it. Finally, minzy decided to go and pick up the phone.

"Yeobosaeyeo?" the maknae's eyes widened and looked at Jiyong. "Changkaman." she said to the person at the other end of the line and mouthed towrads the others, 'Oppa,  abeoji'.

"Father?" jiyong repeated to himself. "Why would my father call?"

**************

"Have you talked to your father already, Jaejoong?" In-su asked. He already told Dara that she has to have a bodyguard. Good thing is she agreed right away. She must have felt so scared that time when someone pointed a gun at her.

"Yes, my father said that one of his friends know someone who would be able to guard Dara. He said that this friend of his even said that he wouldn't take a no for an answer. So Dad agreed already. He said the guy is efficient and very capable. He met him already."

"That's good then. When can he start?"

"Well, that is actually the good thing, Mr. Park. The guy is so eager to start right away so we don't have any problem anymore."

"Hmmm. So I assume both of you can take turns of guarding my daughter."

"Yes, sir. He'll arrive this evening."

"Okay, please introduce him to Dara. I might come home late tonight."

******************

"Durami, abeoji said that I have to have a bodyguard."

"Yes, I agree with him." Durami said, sitting beside her sister. "Don't worry Unnie. Whoever that bodyguard is I know he'll take good care of you"

Dara looked at her sister, "How would you know?"

Durami just shrugged, "I just felt that he'll not let anything bad happen to you. So don't worry much. Besides, Jaejoong will also be there, right?"

"Yes, he will be. Hmmm. What do you think of him?" she asked suddenly.

"He's okay, I guess. But I don't like him for you."

"Why?"

"Because you are not fated to be together."

"Ha! Durami, since when did you know about these fate-thingy huh? Don't tell me you already have someone you like?"  Dara teased her sister, lightly nudging her.

"Unnie! Of course not! Geez, how will I ever meet anyone I would like, my face is always burried in books. I don't have time for those silly things. And it's so complicated. I don't want it. I am already having too much headache with your lovelife, what more if i have mine. Thanks but no thanks."

Dara laughed at her sister's ranting. "How can you be bothered with my lovelife. I a just engaged to someone I don't remember. Don't think about it much. I will probably have my memory bac someday but for now I have to survive first. many people seem to want be dead." she giggled and went inside the bathroom.

"It's not that simple Unnie. ut we'll do everything to protect you."

*******************

"Sir?" one of the maids in the parks residence knocked and opened the door. "Sir, the bodyguard you were waiting for is already downstairs."

"Are you sure it's him?" he asked, he is already preparing to go down and was now finishing up.

"Yes, sir, he showed us a letter from your father."

"Okay, please lead him to the living room. Oh, and inform Dara that i'll go to her room in a minute. We'll go down together."

"Dae," the maid bowed and left the room.

His father told him that the friend is actually a very influential individual so he could not say no. Now, he's actually very eager to finally meet this bodyguard.

He remembered his father's words last night.

"Don't pick a fight with him, Jae. Please, you need to be in good terms with him at all cost. His father is a very influential man and many fear him. I don't want to be in put in his bad side. Got it, son?"

"Now I am really intrigued." he looked at his reflection for teh last time and whistled. "Okay, ready to take my princess."

He walked out of teh room striding towards the next. "Dara, let's go."

The door opened and revealed his angel. OF course, what best could he describe her? She truly is an angel here on earth. He is so lucky to have her. He did not realize that he has been gawking at the now flustered girl. "Jaejoong,"

"Oh, I am sorry," she hooked her arms around his and they slowly descend the stairs.

"Are you excitd to meet your bodyguard, sweetheart?"

She just smiled at him shyly and continued to march down the stairs. Finally they reached the foot of the stairs. Only a few steps away is the living room.

Her heart beating so fast. This is weird, she thought. She stopped and Jae looked down at her.

"Why Dara?" she shook her head lightly and smiled.

"No, nothing," she responded. She can hear two voices inside the living room one she recognized as Durami's and the other one...

Jae stopped short after entering the living room. She looked up at him and saw his pale face. Like his blood stopped circulating. She wondered what worried the guy so much that earned this kind of reaction from him.

She followed his gaze and gasped. The two people inside the room stopped their bubbly conversation as they heard Dara's gasp. The guy turned his attention to the new comers.

"Oh, Unnie, Jaejoong-ssi. You're here already!" her sister sounded so cheeerful that she could not help but raise an eyebrow at her. She wanted to ask so many questions but that just have to wait.

"What are you doing here?!" Jaejoong's voice thundered aorund the room. His suppressed anger visible to the two other occupant of teh room. Only the unsuspecting angel was oblivious to the rage her escort is feeling.

"I am you bodyguard," he bowed to both of them and for some reason, Dara was not sure though, she saw him smirked at her fiance.

Since dara felt that Jaejoong was not planning to answer, she decided to do the honors, "Nice meeting you...,"

"Jiyong... Kwon Jiyong's the name, Madam."
