Most Special Day - for Dara's Birthday ^_^

Summary:

It’s Dara’s special day and everyone seems to forget that…or maybe not? Hmmm

 Most Special Day

Everyone has their special day. A day you look forward to having. A day you would want to spend with someone special. But with all the promotions and preparations in YG these days, Dara knew that it is impossible.
 

They might even have forgotten that it's actually her special day. She dare not remind them. They already have so many things to do and her petty sulking about not celebrating her birthday is nonsensical.

She looked at the wall clock near the recording studio’s doorway. It says that it's already 23:30.

She understood that they won't have a celebration this day but it pained her that no one even greeted her. Did they really forget her birthday?

It's impossible. Everyone knows that her birthday is November 12. Her fans already wished her a happy birthday on her me2day.

So many celebrities already gave their greetings in her cafe. But not even one of her YG family greeted her. Only TamTam.

To top it all, Jiyong sent her a message that they (big bang) are going to stay 'till next morning at the other recording studio and finish the last two songs for their album. She's so happy that they are finally coming back to the music scene in Korea again, but couldn't they just pop their heads and say happy birthday to her. It would only cost them a mere two to three minutes.

"Dara unnie!" Dara forced her sad eyes to their fierce leader. "Why are you sulking there?"

"Huh? oh, nothing, I was just... uhm... CL-roo... do you happen to know what day it is tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? uhm..." CL thought for a few seconds then smiled sweetly at her. Omo! She remembered! CL-roo sat down beside her and hugged her. "Yah! Dara-unnie! You promised to go with me to..."

"No! No! CL-roo. That's not what I am talking about... Don't you remember tomorrow is...."

"Unnie-ah!" Minzy screamed right at Dara's ear.

"Minkki! Don't shout at me like that... you little..."

"Mianhe dara-unnie. But I received a puppy from YG-sunbaenim for my birthday! I am so excited."

"But it isn't your birthday yet. Your birthday is still in January. How come..."

"Wait.. wait... I'll let you see him..." Minzy went to get the puppy. It was a jindo-ge. It was so little and cute. Dara was little by little overcoming her fear of dogs. She's not afraid of puppies anymore. But she still gets a little nervous whenever they would bark at her.

"Aw, he's so cute!" Chaerin exclaimed, petting the puppy. Minzy lightly dropped the puppy to Dara.

"Unnie can you walk and play with him for a moment. Teddy-oppa's calling me to record my part. kamsa!" she said while walking towards the studio.

Dara sighed heavily. Aren't they really going to remember her birthday? The puppy wriggled out of her grasped and went outside. "Omo! wait!"

Dara ran after he little cutie. Her heart is already beating really fast. What would minzy think if something bad happened to the puppy? The maknae even begged YG sunbae to give her a puppy and now that she already have the puppy... she had to find him...
"Noona! Noona!" Seungri's voice echoed. Young bae and Daesung trailing after him. "What are you doing here outside? I thought you are recording a song right now?"

"Yes, we are but Minzy's puppy had gotten away from me and I need to find him. It was her birthday gift." Her own birthday already forgotten because of the lost puppy.

"Don't worry noona. If we see him we'll send you a message right away." Young bae said, with his trademark smile.

"Thank you! I have to go now." she rambled away from the three smiling Big bang members.

"High Five!" Daesung exclaimed as they sauntered towards 2ne1's recording studio.

Jiyong heard someone whimpering. He followed the sound. When he peaked at the doorway, he saw Dara crying. A frown appeared in his baby-like face and worry ate his heart. He moved to push open the door but saw a puppy walking towards her slumped form at the staircase.

"Arf! Arf!" he saw Dara stiffened. Uh-oh, he thought. "Arf!" the puppy playfully barked at her. He was about to stop the puppy from barking and save his baby girl when Dara slowly turned her head towards the little jindo soldier and hugged it. She was almost wailing while hugging the puppy and stroking it's soft white fur.

"You! Where did you go?!" She reprimanded the puppy in between sobs. The puppy sat down. Jiyong almost thought that the puppy actually looked sorry for whatever he had done to the crying beauty. "Do you know how worried I am? You little... ugh! I don't know your name! uwaaa!" she wailed again. She was sitting at the third step of the staircase and the puppy at the very top that made them just at the same height.

Maybe the puppy felt dara's distress that he also uttered a cute cry and licked dara's tear streaked face. "Are you sorry for leaving like just like that, huh?" she asked, as if the puppy would answer her and say sorry.

To his amazement, the puppy indeed answered, with an adorable bark. Well, don't ask what he said. Jiyong surely does not understand dog language.

However, Dara seemed to understand what the puppy said. She smiled her angelic smile to the puppy and carried it to her loving arms. "Come on... they must be very worried about us now." she murmured.

Jiyong ran towards the 2ne1 studio, determined not to be seen by the YG goddess.

---

"Eh?"

When dara went back to the recording studio, she found out that everyone aleady left. They already switched the light off.

She did not bother to turn it on anymore. Instead, she just sat down on the floor and petted the puppy. "So, it's just the two of us now." The puppy just looked at her. His brown eyes very expressive as if he knows something she does not.

"I felt so bad that lost you awhile ago. I had been so selfish, sulking that no one remembered my birthday. Mianhe... Just... It's just that... "

"Saeng-il chukka hamnida... Saeng-il chukka hamnida... jigueseo ujueseo Jeil saranghamnida..."

The room was now lighted with candles from the cake brought by the three 2ne1 members.

"Did you really think we would forget your birthday, noona? Tch!" Seungri said giving her a warm hug. "Happy birthday!"

"Aw, guys... I thought... I ... " tears ran down her pearly skin. "Sorry, I just.."

"Now, now, stop that already ahjumma, " YG scolded her. "Blow these candles already." She nodded and followed what was asked of her.

They sang the birthday song again. Someone turned the lights on and what she saw surprised her. How did they manage to prepare for this celebration? There were so many balloons, stars and rabbits... The food served at the center of the practice room was to die for and she already felt her tummy's agreement.

It was almost perfect but there was someone whom she was not seeing around. She tried to look around without everyone noticing.

Her eyes sought the orange-haired guy but he is nowhere to be found. She tried to look extremely happy but the missing person made it look half hearted. Where is he?

"Who are you looking for Dara Noona?" young bae asked her. She was munching on a piece of cake.

"Oh, no one." she beamed at him. "Is the cake delicious? Wait, I'll go get one too." she said and walked towards the table where the cake was.

"Just enjoy yourself with us for the time being, dara noona. You'll get your present later." he murmured to himself.

Another sigh escaped from her lips. He really did not show up. How could he?! I know we are trying to hide our relationship but could not he even send me a happy birthday text message?

Sigh.

Sigh.

Sigh.

Sigh.

"If I hear you sigh one more time, I am going to let Gaho stay with you for a whole week."

Dara gasped. "Ji..." Her eyes wide and alarmed at the sudden intrusion. On the practice room mirror, she saw another reflection aside from hers standing just a few steps away from her. His hand inside his pockets, hair messy but still looked so stylish. He has dark circles around her eyes.

"Why are you here alone, missy?" he asked, slowly marching towards her. She did not answer. She couldn't speak. She didn't know what to say.

Awhile ago, she was so disappointed, angry and hurt because of him. But seeing him so tired looking and with eyebags to rival Seungri's made her stop from feeling so anymore.

"How about you? Did you finish your recording just now?" she gave him a sweet smile and a hug. "Don't tire yourself out too much..."

"Nope, I finished it hours and hours ago..."

"Eh? Then why did you not..."

"May I have this dance please?"

"Eh? There's no music Ji..."

But he already encased her small hand to his and led her to the center of the practice room. The lights are off but they did not care.

Jiyong pulled dara to him, still dancing. Dara hugged him back and rested her head at the crook of his neck. "What gift would you like for your birthday, dara?" he whispered.

"Nothing..."

"Would you like me to..."

"No, you... here with me, are the best gift I had ever received in the entire 27 years of my life..."

Jiyong could not help but smile at that. He's so lucky to have her. And he would make sure that she'll be his forever.

"Dara?"

"Hmmm?"

"I think I saw Gaho enter the room..."

Dara hastily let go of him and warily searched for Jiyong's dog. He finally saw the mischievous dog.

She was about to run away from it when she caught a glimpse of a small basket that the dog is carrying.

Gaho put it down in front of her and sat. Jiyong patted his head as he nervously watched Dara's reaction.

She bent down and got the small basket.

"Ji... this is..."

"Marry me... Dara..."

And she's crying again... but this time it's not because no one remembered her birthday, not because she lost minzy's new puppy, not because of her fears, not because of she thinks her performance is not enough, not even because of Gaho...

"Yes..." she said, happy tears flowing down her pretty face. "Yes..." she screamed repeatedly as she flung herself to him.

"Happy Birthday... my fiancee.."
