Haven't met You Yet
Chapter 19

Going Back Home
Present 2009

Normal POV

Promotions in Japan is almost at its end. Only a number of concert tours and they can finally go back to Korea. The girls were permitted to stay in Japan as well, as a token for a performance very well executed.

Like Hyun Suk predicted, although they held a closed party in Japan, fan accounts of the new girl group coming from YG Entertainment spread like wildfire in forum sites and fan cafes. Everyone is already anticipating the debut of the new group. They even named them as the female version of Big bang.

So at this moment, the president gave the girls some freedom to have fun and explore the beautiful country, together with the other girls, Chloe, Hye Sun, and In Na.

During their short stay in Japan, the girls developed a sisterly bond; and a day before their flight back to Korea, the girls decided to have an overnight at Chloe's condo. Although they are from the same company, aside from Chloe that is, In Na has to stay and finish some modeling projects in Japan while Hye Sun is headed towards China to visit her friend. Chloe, of course, has to stay, for the meantime, in Japan because of their business.

They slept in Chloe's living room, setting aside the furniture and spread the futon. It's more comfortable that way for they are sure they are not going to fit, all seven of them, in Chloe's bed, no matter how big it is.

Theyve talked about so many things. From the usual things they do everyday to their childhood escapades to their love lives. The older girls has had their own shares of relationship but Chloe found herself the center of attention of all the girls after learning that she had dated a celebrity. In Na and Hye Sun know who this celebrity is, only they want Chloe to tell the story herself. They only hear it anyway from hearsays.

Wanting to get out of this situation, she asked Bom, How about you Bommie? Youve never had a relationship before?

Which Bom dodged, saying she just wanted to change the topic. With all eager eyes looking at her, she sighed in defeat as she recounted her relationship with Jiyong.

You know, my love story is a bit tragic girls.

Dara gasped. Chloe! Your boyfriend died?!!

She chuckled a bit and pinched Daras nose. No, silly. He is not dead. He is so alive and kickin. then her face became serious once again. I think he did not really love me. So we broke up. The end. she ended with a sad smile.

This made Bom scoff. He courted you.

Yes. She answered, not really getting what Bom was implying.

Well, surely, he loves you even a bit? Why would he ask you to be his girl if he doesnt love you?

Err~ its kinda difficult to explain, girl.

Minzy pouted. "What is so difficult about it?"

"Well, you see it is possible to mistake what you are feeling at a certain moment as love. You might just be attracted to each other but never really in love. In my ex's case, he told me that he loves me but only as a friend. Maybe, he had come to a conclusion that what he felt before when he courted me and when we were together is just a friendly admiration. Complicated girls. Just do not ask. "

"Do you still love him?" In Na asked.

Chloe stayed silent for a moment, not because she's thinking of what to answer. She had been avoiding this question for months, and now she had no choice but to answer. "Yes." Tears wet her beautiful face. "Yes, I still love him and I don't know what to do. I love him so much. Whenever I go to their studio or to the company, my eyes would always search for him. But I can't be more than friends with him. I don't know what I should do...."

Hye sun, who's sitting next to her, hugged her and tried to soothe her. She sobbed helplessly. Somehow, being able to release what's inside her, what has been bugging her for months helped. Crying right now, in front of these ladies lifted a heavy burden eating her day by day as she continued her quest in forgetting her ex-boyfriend.

"Don't worry; he'll realize how stupid he is for letting you go, Chloe." Chaerin murmured.

"Yes, we will help you get him back..." Dara added, wiping her tears away.

::::::

The day of their departure came, Big Bang had finally finished their concerts, which they never had a chance of watching. The four girls are sitting in the waiting area, patiently waiting for their scheduled departure. The managers had already arranged everything. They do not have many things with hem as well, only a few souvenirs to be given to their families and friends back home.

Theyll be in the same flight as their sunbaes.

What do you think will they wear to hide their identities? They are quite famous here in Japan so they need to disguise themselves. Bom looked around the area, for any sign of five weird looking people, picturing them wearing some strange outfits or masks.

I dont think they are that kind of celebrities who uses masks. Maybe, if they go to Amusement parks but airport? I dont think so. Chaerin reasoned out. One thing is for sure though; Jiyong Sunbae would still be fashionable.

Who cares about him? Hes just a big show off. Dara mumbled.

Eh? What did you say, unnie? Minzy stopped from playing some games on her phone.

Huh? Dara pretended she did not say anything.

What did you say? Just a moment ago.

No, did not say anything I was just singing!

A frown appeared on Minzys young face. It did not sound like you were singing I think you were talking about Oppa…”

I wasnt! Its a lyric from a from a from an OPM song in the Philippines! Yes! haha haha. Never mind me, Yeo-dongsaeng-ah I just miss listening to those songs so I suddenly mumbled it hehe

Jiyongs POV


A frown appeared on Minzys young face. It did not sound like you were singing I think you were talking about…”

I wasnt! Its a lyric from a from a from an OPM song in the Philippines! Yes! haha haha. Never mind me, Yeo-dongsaeng-ah I just miss listening to those songs so I suddenly mumbled it hehe

What are they talking about?

I slumped down beside Minzy. Sunbae! She hastily stood up and bowed to me. Bom and Chaerin followed suit. My eyes landed on the girl beside Minzy and Bom. She also bowed but it was as if she was just obliged to do so. This girl has an attitude. And also good jacket. She was wearing this grey sneaker track top. Where did she buy that? I want that one too! >.<

Before thinking of coveting her jacket, I raised my hand to acknowledging them. Annyeong.

Are you alone, Sunbae? Chaerin asked.

Dont be so formal with me. You can call me Jiyong or Oppa if Im older than you. gave her a small smile. The others are somewhere around here. Maybe, having some last minute shopping. Did you already buy souvenirs for your family?

Deh, o-oppa, Minzy answered, feeling awkward calling him oppa. Hye Sun Unnie and In Na Unnie went with us yesterday.

Shes so cute. I cant even picture the fierce performers we saw at the club. Are they really those girls?

My eyes strayed to her direction again. Seriously, whats up with me eyes? It has a life of its own! O.O

She turned sideways and saw me looking at her. Great. Busted. What should I do? What should I do?  H-how about you?

She shrugged and said, I went with the others. then mumbled something.

Huh?

Oh, nothing. I said we went shopping together yesterday.

Oh, I was waiting for her to call me Oppa. I want to hear her call me Oppa! Why isnt she calling me oppa? Oppa…”

What?

You should call me oppa, too. She raised an eyebrow at me. Well, Minzy already did. I reasoned out, trying to act cool.

I dont have to. Her answer was short, and it rings finality. Why? But I want to hear her call me oppa!!! >.<

You should! I am..

Bom cut my words and said, Jiyong, Dara really should not call you Oppa. Shes older than you.

What? (0.o) Older? ShesWhat? I repeated my thoughts out loud.

I said, shes older than you.

What should I do? Aha! Well, she should still call me Oppa. She doesnt look any older than I am.

Pabo.

YAH!! What did you say?! She looked around as if she did not know shes the one Im talking to.

Me?

You! Who else. Why did you say?!!

I said Pabo.

You how disrespectful!! I felt all my blood rushing to my head. She did not even deny that she insulted me! >:/

I am not!

You called me, pointing at myself, stupid.

I did not. I just want to eat, Pabo.

Gggrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!! She really wants to die! YAH! YAH! YAH!

What are you so angry about?! Its just Pabo!!!! She also stod up from her seat and glared up at me. I just want to eat Pabo meat!!! I am sooo hungry! Whats your problem?! then walked away, Bom giggled and followed her, leaving confused.

0.o Eat what? What is she talking about?

The younger girls must have seen my confusion; Chaerin laughed heartily and I must thank her for enlightening me. Oppa, Pabo is teoki in Philippines. Thats what they call it, Pabo.

Pabo? Turkey? Why didnt she just use Turkey!!!!!! AAArrrrggghhhhh!!!!

I HATE TURKEYS FOREVER!!!!!

Recap::

You are just my bodyguard.

It echoed in his ears. He is just her bodyguard. Right now, he is just that. But in the right time. Everything will be back to normal.

He thanked the cook for the meal and went out, straining his ears to hear if Dara is still causing a ruckus in her room. He doesn't hear any noise now. Maybe, she felt tired and gave up. Is she sleeping then?

His feet led him to her room. After unlocking the door, he slowly pushed the door open, only to find the room empty, the window open and the bed sheet and blanket tied at the bed post, the tied bed sheets almost touching the ground.

That brat! She still went out!

:::

Just a Blink of an Eye
Chapter 14

She hailed the coming cab and opened its door, but before she went inside she looked over her shoulder and saw Jiyong coming down trhough the window as well.

She slammed the door shut. "Sir, to Namsan Tower. Can you drive really fast sir? Someone's running after me. Aigoo~~"

The cab driver started the car and sped off, just as she let out her head out of the window. Jiyong stopped running, both of his hands resting on his knees, and kicked an innocent stone lying on the ground. "Byeee~~ Jingyo!!! Who says I can't go out? HAHAHA"

"Yah!!! come back here!!!!!"

::

Jiyong's POV

That woman! I told her it's very dangerous o go anywhere alone but she still did! If she's not killed by those assassins, I'd be the one strangling her to death once I find her.

Now Where to start? She said something about a restaurant. But what restaurant was it? There are so many restaurants here!!!!!! Gaaaaaaaahhhh!

I don't want to call that pretty boy. He'll just nag and rub it to my face that a woman escaped me, a trained professional.

I have to find her. Now, try to think of what she said.

Errr? What do you mean bommie?

Bom! I have to call Bom! I ran back to the mansion and got my phone, dialed Bom's number.

Darn, why isn't she answering the call???!!! >:/

"Hello?" Finally!!!!

"Bom! Where are you?"

"Err~Why I'm with my boyfriend."

"Where's Dara?"

"She's not yet here."

"Where are you? I have to get her back home."

"I'm afraid I can't help you with that! I promise to take care of her while she's with me! Bye Ji!!"

"Bom!!!!! Bom!! Hello???! Bom!!"

Toot- Toot- Toot- Toot- Toot..

I redialed the number once again.

Sorry the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try to call again later.

Grrrr...

I think I have to add Bommie on my To-Kill List.

:::

Dara's POV

"Here you go, sir.  Thank you soooo much!" I still have time. Whew! I put on my shades and my cap to hide my face.

So, where do I have to go?? I sent Bommie a text message while on the cab and she said that it's on the fifth floor.

n.Grill, it's her favorite restaurant. Aside from the fun fact that it's revolving, giving you a 360 degrees panoramic view of the capital city of Korea, it also have mouth watering steak courses along with vintage wines.

And seeing that its already almost seven in the evening, Im already so excited to see the view. I dont know when the last time I dined here was. But I surely am going to have fun tonight.

:::

I crane my neck in search for my friend.

Hi, Maam. Do you have a reservation? the pretty girl asked me.

Im with Park Bom and TOP? I feel like a fool now. Does she even know Top? Ahh. Of course, why wouldnt she? Bommie said he is famous as well. But how would I know that? Did she forget that I was in a coma for a few years? Aigoo~

The girl gestured, asking me to follow her. Oh! There they are. Ahh. Bommie looks so beautiful and in love! Now I remember him TOP, the guy from the photoshoot. They look good together!

:::

I thanked the waitress for showing me where my Bommie is. I take off my shades, Hi! Sorry Im late. I was held captive by some pirate. Please accept my most sincere apologies…” grinning sheepishly at them.

Bommie chuckled as TOP stood up and acted like a gentleman he is, I sit down beside this very young looking guy, whos staring at me as soon as I arrive. I stared back, but determined not to be the first one to introduce myself. Do I have some dirt on my face?

Taecyeon, TOP said. Both of us looked back at him. He called his friends name but hes eyes is on me. Thats his name Dara-sshi.

Oh. Hi! Nice to meet you!

Same here. he says.

Are you a model too? I am really curious. Hes good looking but I dont see him as a model type.

Uhm, Fortunately not. We all laughed at his joke.

Why fortunately? Bommie butted in. I think youd be great in front of the cam.

Well, I dont want to ruin any cameras. he said, while chuckling. But on a serious note, I never wanted to become a model.

So how did you become friends with TOP? Are you childhood friends? I asked.

Nah. I met him a few years ago in a Movie Awards Ceremony.

Oooohhhhh…” Im impressed. Youre an actor then?

Hmmm, you could say that. But I still need to learn a lot. And Seunghyun here helps me big time.

Ha! You dont need much help anyway. I just sit there and watch you practice. And Im left astounded.

Taecyeon shyly scratched his head. Ahhh. Seunghyun, youre embarrassing me. Im not really good.

Aigoo~ if my honey bunch says that youre good, then you must really be. No doubt. But enough of this. Im hungry already. she then turned to me, I hope you dont mind that we already had some Appetizers while you were not here yet, D.

Oh, its okay. Bommie. Lets just have the main course, its supper time anyway.

And as if on cue the waiter served the food. There were Sirloin Steak, Grilled Fish, and wine. We ate in silence with Bommies occasional ministrations.

At first, I almost forgot about Jiyong, but as soon as we started on the meal, my mind was invaded again by his words. I am not regretting running away from him. Just imagine how it would be if Id go here with him. Thatd be sooo awkward!

However, Id really want to spend some time with him. Maybe, he also loves steak like Bommie. Or I could ask him what he wants to eat then, Id cook for him.

Err~ Scratch that! Why would I cook for him? He freakin locked me inside my room.

They say youre a good actress…” Taecyeon said, while pouring some wine on my glass. Eh? Was he talking to me?

Oh, I dont act anymore since…” I frowned. When did I stop acting? I cant remember. I just remember that I had to stop acting because someone wanted me to stop. But I couldnt remember the person as well.

Since? he put down the bottle of wine, and sipped a bit from his own glass. I tried to remember it, frowning and biting the side of my inner cheek.

Hey! Eh? whats up with this friend of mine? I think its getting late. We have to give Dara a ride back home. Her husband might kill us if we would not send her back safely. Bom stood up so suddenly that she almost knocked the chair off backwards.

You have a husband? Taecyon looks so surprised.

No, not that I know of. I giggled. But I do have a fiancé”

Okay... Hon. You dont have to be in such a haste. Its just eight in the evening. TOP said seeing the panic in her face.

No, we really have to go. Did not you say that you have an important meeting tomorrow with the director of your new movie tomorrow morning? Bom grabbed her bag and dragged Dara along with her, the two gentlemen trailing behind them.

Whats up with you Bommie? You did not even finish your favorite steak! I hissed. Thats so rude of you. The guys arent even finished eating yet. She did not say anything but just continued heading towards the elevator. TOP already paid the bill as we waited for the lift. It was so awkward being alone with Taecyeon and Bommie.

Why was she suddenly so tensed anyway?

Hon, TOP joined as in waiting for the lift. You promised that youd go with me tonight right? he said, wriggling both of his brows at her. But Bommies giving him a cold shoulder. Babe?

We have to get Dara home first. she finally uttered, as the elevator arrived with soft DING. They glided in and waited until they are finally on the ground floor again. Ahhh, I was not even able to enjoy the night time view!! Grrr. This girl.

Come on, D. she said, walking towards the exit.

We dont need to give her a ride anymore, Honey. Taecyeon here already volunteered, right Taec?

Yeah. Sure. Lets go Dara. he said, yanking Dara along with him.

:::

Boms POV

Hey!!!!!!! You cant! Come back here! I tugged at Seunghyuns sleeves. Babe, we need to get her home. US, I emphasized pointing at myself, “…not any other guy. Its too dangerous.

Its okay Babe. Hes my friend. I know him inside out. Hell take her home safely. Seunghyun assured me.

No no babe. You dont know how dangerous it is for her. Even if you trust your friend, we may never know whos waiting to ambush them.

He chuckled after hearing what I said. Was she the daughters president to be ambush? Come on Bommie. Dont worry too much. Hugging her and light bestowed a kiss on her hair.

No you dont understand how complicated her life is What should I do?

Recap:

"Send the transfer in.” Ms. Jamie told Geun Seok-sunbae.

“My pleasure…” he answered seductively. Omo! Is he subtly flirting with our teacher. Sunbae! Haha. That’s why you push away those girls, you already have someone! Too bad she’s older than you! Fat chance she'd like you back. tsk tsk.

Ms. Jamie even asked him to… send the transfer in… TRANSFER… THE transfer student!

Will I finally meet him???!!!

Someone stepped in. All of our eyes focused on the new student.


=-=-=-=-=-


Saranghaeyo, Oppa

Chapter 4



Or that’s what we thought. It’s Geun Seuk oppa again, acting hesitant and lost, looking around the room as if he hadn’t been here ever.


“Annyeonghasaeyo!” he mumbled shyly, “Geun Seuk ibnida.”

“Jang-sshi. Stop the nonsense already, where’s the transferee?” Ms. Jamie asked, trying not to smile.

He scratched the back of his head. “Mianhe, Seonsaeng-nim. But there isn’t anyone outside.”

“Oh, is that so? Okay just go back to your class then.” He bowed and retreated, but not before winking at the girl seating in front. “Jang-sshi.” Ms. Jamie’s voice held warning.

“Yes... Yes... I’ll go ahead, Ma’am.” Then he disappeared through the door.

She, then, turned to address us. “Go to your respective groups, people.”

There were shuffling of chairs and excited mumbling amongst the students as they made their way to where they usually sit.

“Ready, to listen everyone?” Ms. Jamie asked us once every one of us is already seated. Murmurs of accent spread within the four corners of the classroom. “Okay, this is what you want to do.”

Well, that leaves us no choice but to do it, neh?

=-=--=-=-=

Ugh. I thought I’d finally meet my prince. Unfortunately, he decided to make a detour, or maybe a stop over?, before enjoying my presence. J

Our English class had just ended yet our new classmate isn’t here yet. =_= When are you going to let me see you again? >.<

Maybe, Ms. Jamie knows where he is? Right, I’d ask her.

I hastily ran after our English teacher. “Ms. Jam!!” I called out her nickname.

 “Yes, Dara? Something wrong?”

“Ma’am, you said we have a new classmate! Where is he now?”

“He?”

“Yes, I saw him this morning and also you said that you’d introduce him to us?”

“I am not sure about that. Maybe, the transferee will be introduced by your new teacher. If you’d go back to your room now, I guess, you’d see HIM yourself.”

“Yes, Ma’am!” I saluted to my favorite English teacher then skipped back to our room. I looked around but he’s not yet there. So I decided to just go to my seat and wait for the new teacher like a very good student.

Ha! Who am I kidding? I am not waiting for the new teacher at all. I have been watching both doors of the classroom for the transferee student. Not because of the new teacher.

Bommie was laughing at me for every time someone enters the room, my head would turn to it’s direction as fast as a whirlwind. But no new student appeared.

And our new Music Teacher is late, too!! Ahh.. not a good first impression sir!

Someone entered the room but I already got tired of looking around every time the door opens. Maybe, he already went home and thought of starting going to his classes tomorrow. I shrugged.

The girls in front of us were all looking at the back row, pointing at someone, and then giggled nonstop. Why are girls so giggly anyways?

Oh! I am a girl as well! Haha. Only, I am not as giggly as they are. Only a little. Tee hee.

One of the girls, MinNa, who looked like she put all her face powder on her face, whispered to her friend, “He’s so cute!”

Let’s just say that that MinNa finds every boy in our class cute. Seriously! Even the most hideous face in the class, she’d probably say “You’re so cute~” he girl had no taste at all.

“Tell me what you think about our new teacher, Dara.” YuJin, the girl seating at my left side, asked. She had this short curly hair, big brown eyes, and pouty lips. She excels in acting and loves studying. She’s a friend but I am not as close to her as I am with Bommie, CL and Minki.

“The Music Teacher? I don’t know. Haven’t seen her yet. Why?”

“Do you think He’s as good as our previous Teacher?”

“He should be. But I doubt it. Our previous Music teacher is the best Music Teacher we’ve had had so far. But of course, we may never know. We haven’t met him yet so let us not be hasty and be judgmental.”

“Speaking of the new teacher, Only thirty minutes left and he is not here yet. He’s not setting aright example to his students.”

It is not only YuJin, Bommie and I who are talking right now. All students must have thought that the teacher won’t be seeing us today so now they dragged their chairs to face their friends and chatted away. Some are even playing around and some are throwing balls of paper to each other. Very mature, indeed.

Every one is talking at the same time, that my head now starts to ache and the atmosphere gets hotter. My eyes started to scan the room, same old same old classmates. I know them all one by one, that even if you ask me to be blindfolded I could still recognize them.

I turned around to see the students back row. Yes, all the same… SuJin, the beautiful and intelligent girl I love so much. She once told me in our English class that she wanted to be a teacher like her Phone English Teacher. She looks up to her so much. She also studied in USA when she was younger that’s why she’s very fluent in speaking the language. Ji Yoon, her best friend, wants to be a fashion expert. She likes dressing up and absolutely adores high heeled footwear.

Next to them are JaeYoung and JaeSeong, the twins, who are a total opposite of each other. JaeYoung likes Music and performing in front of everyone. He’s a total charmer. Not that I’m saying JaeSeong is not, it’s just that, JaeSeong excels more in serious subjects like Economics and Politics. He is also the Junior Editor of the school paper.

And…

I catch my breath as my brain registered who’s sitting beside JaeSeong. He was just there, sitting quietly, absorbing everyone and smiling back at people who smiles back at him. He just sat there silently, just like me awhile ago, scanning the room. But I guess for him, he is trying to familiarize himself with every one.

His blonde hair slightly covering his right eye, his eyes continuously moving and searching until it settled at me. Wait. He’s staring at me!

I pretended to be so engrossed in studying the ceiling. Ahhh. What a beautiful ceiling we have here. I was even tempted to complete my pretention by whistling and nodding my head, but decided against it.

Gosh! He surely thinks I am a weirdo now! Aigooo~~

 I stole a glance at him again and he is still looking at me. I tried to hide my blushing face using my hair. “Yah! Dara. Are you listening to me?”

“Huh?”

“I said I think the new student is here already.”

“Yeah. I saw him.”

“Aigggoo~ Are you blushing? Waaah. Dara-yah is blushing. I thought I’d never see this day.” Bommie hugged me tightly.

“Ahem”

But all of us are still into our conversations, me trying not to die because of Bom’s death hug.

“Ahem… ahem…” every one looked at the back. The new student was standing now confidently at the back. He walked towards the front and erased the writings my other classmates wrote on the chalk board. He did it very slowly, with easy but sure up and down stroke. We just sat there watching him clean the board.

None of us dared to speak for this new transferee is really acting weird. Why was he even erasing the writings? How weird. But it’s okay. I love him nonetheless. Gaaahhh.... He is sooo hot!

He put down the eraser and wrote something on the board.

“Kwon Jiyong” it says.

He faced us this time with a very bright smile. “That’s my name.” he said.

Kyahh~~~ So cool!! He even speaks English very well!

“So what?” Seung-jo, my ever bully classmate, sneered. “What do we care about your name? We did not ask for it.”

“Yah!” woops. Was that me?

“What? Princess? Don’t tell me you like that stick boy.”

“So what if I like him? He’s so much good looking than you anyway. Apologize at once. That’s not a very good attitude you’re showing the new transferee.”

“But…”

“No buts Seung-jo sshi. Apologize.”

“I’m sorry.” Although he uttered it like he would die saying it.

Kwon Jiyong cleared his throat once again. “Well, that was very… nice of you Ms. Princess?

“Sandara” I chirped. “My name is Sandara but just call me Dara.” Grinning at him.

“I see. Well, thank you very much for your gallantry, Princess. How ironic that a princess now saves a prince, isn’t it?” earning a chuckle from everyone. “But I apologize for not introducing myself as soon as I entered the classroom. I just wanted to observe everyone here. As I was saying, before Seung-jo sshi here interrupted me, my name is Kwon Jiyong.

“And I am your new Music Teacher from today.”
