Just a Blink of an Eye

Chapter 6

Recap:

"I don't like a handsome brother-in-law. I won't ever accept him as your fiancé."

"Dear sister, such hatred for a person you barely know."

If she only knew what they are doing. If only she remembers. If only he's here to take her away and hide her from these people. Even though she's in danger, I am sure that Oppa will protect her with all his might.

If only she can do something for the both of them...

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 teh 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 but Jiyong did not answer him. He was actually in a trance remembering an almost similar event.

"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 giveyou 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 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 buckle 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 know 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.

So since he enjoys photography and designing clothes, he started there. Little by little his name was recognized. But 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 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.
