Just a Blink of an Eye

Chapter 7 (Complete)

Just a Blink of an Eye

Chapter 7

Dara's mother insisted that Jaejoong should sleep next to her room, especially that someone wanted to hurt her. That kind of bothered her. Since she was discharged from the hospital so many weird things are happening. She could not help but be afraid.

So instead of pointing out to them that she would be fine, she conceded.

Her mind wandered to her husband-to-be. She cringed at the thought. It feels like something is amiss. Like just thinking about the possibility of them being married is so impossible for her. Although he is so perfect and a much esteemed individual, she could not picture herself being married to him.

It's weird, yes, for she was already engaged to him for two and a half years and still she feels weird. But she decided to ignore it. Maybe it's just because of the fact that she can't remember a thing about them being engaged.

Well, she tried, but to no avail, she did not get any results. It's still as blank as a white paper.

Dara was sitting in front of her mirror, eyeing her reflection as she brushes her hair gingerly. It had gotten pretty long now. Her stylists decided to dye it brown. They actually thought of dyeing it bright green! But Bommie interfered and convinced them to just dye my hair brown and she agreed in dyeing her hair red. Dara felt so guilty, thinking that it's her fault why Bom has to have a red hair. But Bommie just shrugged and said, "It's okay, I really wanted to dye my hair red, anyways. It looks good on me, right maknae?"

She's been doing this thoughtlessly. She just realized that she started brushing it almost forty minutes ago. Her mind is so preoccupied with so many things.

Her family, her friends (who actually are acting so suspiciously these days), her job, the mysterious guy, the people who wants to harm her, and now her fiancé.

She put down the brush and walked slowly towards the balcony of her room. It has always been her favorite part of the house. She loves watching the stars at night and admiring the beauty and magnificence the evening scene is giving her.

She looked up the evening sky and unconsciously smiled to herself. She continued to stare dazedly at the blinking little stars.

That was when she felt someone watching her. Her body stiffened and grew conscious of her surroundings. She saw a silhouette of a guy wearing a beanie across the street.

"Dara-noona?" she looked around and saw that it's her brother walking towards her. "Why are out there. You might catch a cold."

"I am fine." she hastily looked back and tried to see if the guy is still there. "Sanghyun-ah, I saw someone standing by the tree a few minutes ago."

"Cheongmal? (Really?)" Her brother joined her at the balcony and looked for the guy standing by the maple tree. "There is no one there noona. Maybe, your eyes are playing tricks on you."

Come on; let's go inside before you catch a cold. By the way, Dong-Wook Hyung called and informed..." and so Sanghyun bore his noona of her schedule for the following day. But her mind stayed with the guy. Was it really just my imagination? Am I being paranoid?, she asked herself.

She’ll just have to be more careful, in case that guy is a threat to her and her family.

-----

Jiyong realized that Dara felt his presence so he quickly hid behind the Japanese Maple tree. The warm red color of the beautiful tree, not visible because of the darkness of the night.

He saw Dara's brother come out and decided not to take any chances. He stood still behind the tree and when finally he heard the glass door of her balcony being locked he allowed himself one last view of the mansion before walking away towards his car, parked a few blocks away.

He missed her so much. He knows that he is being sneaky and that he is not staying true to his words to Mr. Park, but he needs to see her. She's the only reason why he keeps on going, moving forward, fighting...

If only he knows what's on his mind right now. He trusted him and yet he chose to hurt him and Dara. He would never let that happen again.

"Hyung, why don't you just go get her instead of going here every single night and also watching her every move. She might think you are a stalker or something." Seungri, his friend and assistant when he was still a Photographer asked by the time they started on their way home.

"I did not ask you to go with me. You volunteer yourself."

"Yes, but I don't want to wait for at the flat. You said that the girls will go there tonight. I don't want to be alone there once they arrive. They might..."

"Yeah sure.., Delude yourself." he smirked at his boyish friend. He let him drive the car today since he kept on pestering him. "Yah! Don't you like CL anymore?" teasing the maknae.

"Hyung! How can you be so heartless? You know that CL will dump me before I even get to say "I" in the phrase 'I like you'. You know that that girl loathes me to death." he stated, frowning. "I don't even know why she hates me so much. I am handsome, talented, intelligent, rich, humorous,"

"...a jerk with a big head to her." finishing his friend's boasting. "That is actually the reason why she "loathes" you as you describe it. You're too full of yourself. You just don't learn do you?"

Seungri was about to give his opinion when suddenly a car drove past them. Thanks to his quick reflex, he managed to step on the break. If not, they'd probably be in a hospital right now.

"Hyung, are you okay?" he asked.

Then his mobile phone cut the silence inside the car. At first Jiyong hesitated if he should answer the call or not since it's an unknown caller.

But he still did...

"Yeobosaeyeo?" he asked after gulping a lump in his throat.

No one answered at the other end of the line. But he knew that there's someone there. He could hear the silent breathing of the person and the sound of an engine. "Yeobosaeyeo?"

"Be careful, GD. You would not want your friend to suffer the same fate as your lover did, right?

Who could this guy be?

"So how does it feel that she could not remember you anymore? You are certainly no one to her now. If you are not so stubborn. If you just married that slut, ㅇara would not have suffered this!"

FLASHBACK

"Dara, move faster, love. We need to leave. Young Bae called and said that they are already on their way here. We have to go now."

"I'm coming... I just have to find Tam Tam."

"Leave Tam Tam already. I'll just give you another one. Okay? We'll ask Chaerin to make another Tam Tam, arasso?"

"No. I don't want another Tam Tam, Ji. I want our child. This Tam Tam that Chaerin made for both of us. CL-roo will be very upset if she..."

"CL-roo will be upset if something bad happens to you. Now, come on..."

"There you are..." Dara beamed at the lifeless doll. Their things were scattered everywhere.

"Okay Let's go, babe." They ran downstairs and quickly got in the car.

"How did Bae know that they are already on their way here?" Dara asked, while putting her seatbelt on. When she saw that Jiyong's seatbelt is also not buckled she reached out to fasten it. "There you go."

"I don't know. Let's just get out of here. I can't risk you being hurt." They sped on the high way. Ji couldn't decipher how they knew where they are hiding. Aside from Young Bae, Daesung and Seungri, no one else knows where they are residing at the moment. Even Dara's family did not know where they are.

He silently cursed himself for getting involved with those people. His family is rich but only a number of people know that. He really does not like showing off. He wanted to start his life on his own. So he decided to ask his dad's permission.

He had always wanted to be a professional photographer and a fashion designer. When he was young, people would always compliment the outfits and attires he wears. His dad had been reluctant at first. He's afraid for his only son.

Being born in a rich family, he did not experience things that normal people had to go through. His dad was worried to he might not survive te cruelty of teh real worl and that they might use him to get to him.

So since he enjoys photography and designing clothes, he started there. Little by little his name was recognized.However, he is not known as Kwon Jiyong by many people. He never intended to tell them his personal life.

He is just known by many as GD short for G-Dragon, his clothing line (I know lame name again.... really not good at this naming thingy.... :p).

He's thankful that he decided to follow his own dream not be dictated to follow his father's footsteps. His parents know that he would never want to be a businessman like his father. They respect his decision.

There are lots of things to be thankful for.  He now has three faithful friends... Seungri, Bae and Dae. And just as he thought that he already have all he wanted to have, fate also gave him a chance to experience how to be loved and to be in love.

Dara...

His most precious angel.

He met her during a photoshoot with YEOSIN. He had never taken notice of any women in his entire twenty-five years of existence. He's so contented to have a loving family, trusted friends, and a stable job. 

He knows that Dara Park is a very gorgeous model, but he had come to know too (working as a photographer to all those beautiful women) that most of them has attitude problems. They look at themselves like they are the superior to everyone else because of their beauty. So he never thought of even having a relationship with a model.

He had been very mean to her and would always scold her and tell her that she's doing the wrong thing. He always try to find fault in her. Her friends grew furious of him but she did not utter a single complaint about it. She would just apologize for her mistake and asked how it should be done again.

He remembered how Chaerin glared at him that time. Sandara was his first love and he is quite sure that she will also be her last. He did not want her to be involved in this problem that he and Bae had gotten into. But nevertheless, she was still dragged in this awful mess.

He can't do anything about it anymore. All he has to do is to make sure Sandara is safe.

"Hon, I want you to do everything I would ask of you. got it?"

Sandara nodded but she was a bit confused. What could be in his mind right now. Jiyong's eyes were focused on the road before them, ocassionally glancing at the rear view mirror to see if someone's trailing them.

"Ji... Bae's calling..." she put the ear piece in it's rightful place and pressed the answer button.

"Hello Bae. What now?"

Bae at the other end of the line...

"You know I can't do that!"

Bae at the other end of the line...

"I'm sorry Bae. I just can't. I will take care of her. I promise to take her safely somewhere else so... no no bae. No! I don't want to marry her! I just can't okay. Just do us a favor and distract them. Bae..."

BANG! BANG!

"They are already here... Bae, what happened??? Why did you..." but the phone call already got cut.

If he could curse, he could've done it already but Sandara would not like to hear even one word of profanity out of him.

"Babe, go at the back seat lie down on th floor. Do what I say."

Dara scrambled towards the backseat of the car.

It was dark and the only visible light around the area are the cars headlight.

"Dara, we have to jump out of the car. Can you see that bush thereat the count of three once I say jump you hop out of teh car and hide. Is it clear?"

"But Ji..."

"No, sweetheart. You promised that you'll do what I would ask you to do. Now at the count of three...

He saw her crying, as if they would never see each other again and his heart reached out to her.

"I'm going to find you. I just want you to be somewhere. Not here. I want you to hide. Got it, babe?"

With hot tears trailing her beautiful face,  she nodded.

"One...

Two..." Dara got up from the floor of the car and turned Jiyong's head towards her and kissed him passionately, like it's their last kiss.

"I love you Ji..."

"Three..." Dara jumped out of the car. Jiyong prayed taht no one saw it. That she'd be able to hide safely. "I love you too, Dara. Please wait for me, love. Be safe."

He drove faster. there was curve a few kilometers away. He knew that there is only one way to mislead them. and that is to make them think that Dara and him were already dead.

They would not stop. He would not stop until Jiyong would say yes and marry his daughter.

Of all people, why is it him? Why does she have to fall for him? And why, why can she be so selfish...

He put on his swimming vest, his jaw set determined to do his plan.

He stepped on the gas and the car moved faster than ever. He uttered a small prayer to God, "Please let Dara be safe 'till I get to her. Please Let me survive this..." and he closed his eyes as the cliff drew nearer and nearer and nearer....

END OF FLASHBACK

"Do you really think you could escape them just like that?"

"Bae..." jiyong's voice faded as his expression grew grimmer.
