Haven't Met You Yet
Chapter 10
At Halmeoni's
Past 2005Dara's POV
Why oh why do I only have the chance to know this irritating guy now? Tell me! In our first meeting he had been so good to help me out with those bad guys. And then, he's so calm ang good-mannered the second time I met him. And he's so caring and gentle when he went to my room in the wee hours this morning just to comfort me. But now, he kept on pestering me. From the van to the Everland, even while I am trying to have some fun with my siblings, he would try his best to barge in and spat some comments about me. He just stopped bothering me when we finally arrived at Flanders.
By the way, The meal is heavenly!
We ordered the steak combo they have there. The chicken was really tender and the sauce of the steak was so delicious I can still taste it up to now. The ambiance was also good. There's this feel like you have to be prim and proper while you are there. There was a big glass window just infront of the table given to us and we can see the beautiful garden of Everland.
Umma told us before we ate that Halmeoni wanted us to leave right away. Aww. Did she miss us already? We visited her as soon as we land in Korea but we needed to go back to Seoul. I received a call from the YG entertainment that time and I was asked to go to his office ASAP.
As I was saying, my dark knight had been irritating me to death. He kept on reminding me about the kiss and told me that if I want to kiss him again he would gladly bestow his oh so glorious kiss. Oh Puhlease! I didn't even ask him to do that. He was the one who kissed me!
Anyway, I was really trying my best to ignore him and just focus all my attention to my dear little sister, who looks like she's telling me something really romantic that she's giggling too much.
"Yah! Durami! Why are you giggling? Have you seen your crush?"
"Huh? No. Aren't you listening to me at all? I have been talking and talking here but you did not hear even one word I said? Ugh! Unnie!" she said, exasperated.
"Oh, mianhe Durami... I was just thinking... Anyway, what were you saying? I promise I am all ears!"
"I said Oppa's so handsome!"
"Who?"
"Who else! Jiyong oppa! He's so handsome! When we were at the Everland, girls are openly staring at him. Didn't you see it? The waitress even asked for his number! haha."
"Really? I didn't know that..."
"What didn't you know? The fact that Jiyong oppa is handsome or that the waitress asked for his number?"
"Hah! Handsome you say? Are your eyes blurry durami? Can't you see clearly? Do you want me to tell Umma you need to go see an Optalmologist? How can you say that he's handsome? Anyway, regarding the waitress, I didn't hear her ask for his number."
"Of course you wouldn't. You're so busy munching all those food. haha."
"Well, did he give it to her?" I asked, trying to sound indifferent.
"Why? Unnie? Are you worried?"
"Nah! Why would I be worried? Sometimes I even think that he is a gay. Come to think of it. there are so many girls who are openly staring at him but he doesn't give a damn. He purposely ignores them. Haha. Poor girls. " Sandara snorted. "He can give his number to everyone, I don't really care. Or maybe he just gives his number to handsome men." I laughed at my own joke.
I was waiting for Durami to make a comeback for that statement but she didn't. So I just continued, "And it really does not matter you know. Just like what Sang Hyun said, He's out of his mind. He thinks he's from the future but who still believes that stuff? Totally crazy."
Still, my sister did not say anything. Then suddenly she broke out of her trance and quickly said, "Unnie, I think I have to go catch up with the others. I forgot to tell something to Umma. See you there!!" She dash off to Umma, who's walking a few blocks away from us and towards the parking lot.
Just then, I felt his presence. I braced myself for another round of cat and dog fight but to my surprise, he just walked past me without saying anything. He walked on and on and on as if he did not see me at all.
What was that?
The loud silence in the van is killing me. Umma tried to brighten up the mood of everyone but failed. Everyone was feeling the tension and black aura coming from a certain guy.
It's so unlike him to be like this. I tried to perk the dark knight's mood up. But instead of making him happy and gay, his face looked grim that I feared for my life... I didn't try it again.
So here I am trying my best to ignore him. My sister was whispering something incoherently. I tried to listen to what she's saying but when she sensed what I am doing, she zipped her mouth shut. I raised my eyebrow at that. Nonetheless, I caught some of her words which I totally don't understand. Something like "Heard" "What to do" "Must be" "Hurt" "So tactless".
Talking about weird. Tch.
Though I forced myself not to mind Jiyong and my sister, I find myself craving for his attention. You would probably think what a nutcase I am to say that I miss our bickering. Bah! Whatever! I can live without him.
I discreetly stole a glance at him at the rear-view mirror. His eyes were closed but he is nodding to whatever my little brother was telling him. He must have sensed my gawking for he lazily opened his left eye.
Shocks! I looked outside right away. Did he see me?
When I tried to see if he is still looking at me, I breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes are closed again. Whew. That was close. Maybe he thought it's just his imagination. I was kind of waiting for him to yell and ask me what I am staring at, how weird of me to miss his voice. If this is his way of getting my attention then it certainly is working. Grrr. This guy. I hate him.
~o~
I did not know that we already arrived at Halmeoni's. I must have fallen asleep. By the time I woke up, I am already in my room. My room. I smiled. A few days ago, we were also here. But this time, I am gong to make sure that we will spend much time with grandma.
I stretched and yawned to drive the sleepiness away from my body. It has been my routine to just lie down in my bed for hours.
Wait. Who brought me here? Must be Sanghyun or my uncles.If Jiyong is still acting like I am no more than an invisible being, he would not care to carry me in my room.
"Ya! Unnie! What are you doing standing there like a zombie? Help us prepare dinner."
"Who told you you can boss around your Unnie like that? huh?" I scolded my little sister.
I scanned the room. Where could he be?, she thought.
"Are you looking for Jiyong-oppa?" Durami nudge me lightly, her eyes wide and teasing.
"Nope, I am looking for Halmeoni. Where is she?" I said defensively.
"Well, probably out with Sanghyun. You know how much she adores that little devil."
"You can't blame her durami. Sanghyun is our prince. Even you would favor him over me, am I right?"
"Ha! I don't have favorites in the family. I am free from bias."
"Awww... my little sister is sooo cute!" I hugged her and gave her kisses on her cheek.
"Ya! Unnie! You're so disgusting! Get away from me!" she said, pushing me away from her.
I chuckled lightly. I know she's just pretending she does not like it but she enjoys it as much as I enjoy it.
"Okay. Okay. Let's go and get this dinner done before Halmeoni and the others arrive."
~o~
Dinner time...
"So Sandara... is he your boyfriend?"
I almost spat out the food I am savoring a few moments ago. My mother gave me a glass of water. "Halmeoni!" I swear, my face must have looked like a ripe tomato now. I don't ever want to look at him. I was kind of hoping that my grandmother would get that what she's implying is not really the case and just drop it off.
But she just looked at me and is waiting for my answer. "No, he is not." my eyes drilling a hole on my plate.
"Really?"
"Halmeoni..."
She just shrugged and gave her attention to the young man sitting between my siblings.
"Young man, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Eh?"
Omo. Halmeoni... why are you doing this to me!!!!
~o~
Two days after that incident, I tried my best to not cross path with Jiyong. Whenever I would hear his voice I would go at the opposite way from where I hear it.
I don't even eat with my family now. I don't want to endure the same scene ever again.
I remember the questions my Halmeoni asked Jiyong.
FLASHBACK
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
He was so surprised by the question thrown at him that he just stared at my grandmother. But when my Halmeoni asked him again he said that he does not have. My heart skipped a bit. I don't know why but it seemed like it was very happy to hear his answer.
I thought that would be the end of it but no, my grandmother asked him several more.
"What do you think of our pretty Sandara here?"
"Halmeoni!!"
"Uh... she's..."
I was like holding my breath...
"... okay." he said. His voice sounded so uninterested.
I fought to not let my smile falter.
"What okay? My Sandara-noona is not just okay, she's more than that...she's..."
But my grandmother asked another question. "Do you already hold someone special in your heart?"
"Grandma that's enough." I stoop up and walked out of the dining room. I already ran out of patience. But before I even got out of the room, I still got to hear his answer...
"Yes...
That one word... that one word was enough to make tears fall freely down my eyes...
Yes, I do have someone special right now, Halmeoni."
Why does it hurt so much?
END OF FLASHBACK
I heaved a heavy sigh again before closing my eyes. All I am feeling right now gives me so much headache.
I don't know if my grandmother asked Jiyong any other questions but I am sure that I would try my best to avoid him.
I opened my eyes again and admired the beauty of the clear blue sky. When i was young, I enjoy tracing the figures the clouds made, wondering how they are doing it. There are shapes like a dog, and sometimes a small rabbit. So many figures but i like the rabbit the most.
I was drawn out of my reminiscing when I heard familiar voices. I hid myself behind a big tree. I don't want them to see me. Since one of the owner of the voices I heard was Jiyong, I acted instinctively. I am petite and skinny so the big trunk of the majestic tree would not really give me away.
I wonder who he was with...
I took a peek. I am just curious, reasoning out with myself. I just want to see who he's with.
And there, I saw with my own eyes, happily talking with Jiyong my childhood friend, my little Sohee. She was giggling at whatever Jiyong was telling her.
They look good together...the voice in my mind whispered bitterly. I looked away, clutching my chest. What's this? Why is it so painful to see them like this?
Why?...
