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."
