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 it’s already almost seven in the evening, I’m already so excited to see the view. I don’t 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, Ma’am. Do you have a reservation?” the pretty girl asked me.
“I’m with Park Bom and TOP?” I feel like a fool now. Does she even know Top? Ahh. Of course, why wouldn’t 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 I’m 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, who’s 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 friend’s name but he’s eyes is on me. “That’s his name Dara-sshi.”
“Oh. Hi! Nice to meet you!”
“Same here.” he says.
“Are you a model too?” I am really curious. He’s good looking but I don’t see him as a model type.
“Uhm, Fortunately not.” We all laughed at his joke.
“Why fortunately?” Bommie butted in. “I think you’d be great in front of the cam.”
“Well, I don’t 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…” I’m impressed. “You’re 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 don’t need much help anyway. I just sit there and watch you practice. And I’m left astounded.”
Taecyeon shyly scratched his head. “Ahhh. Seunghyun, you’re embarrassing me. I’m not really good.”
“Aigoo~ if my honey bunch says that you’re good, then you must really be. No doubt. But enough of this. I’m hungry already.” she then turned to me, “I hope you don’t mind that we already had some Appetizers while you were not here yet, D.”
“Oh, it’s okay. Bommie. Let’s just have the main course, it’s 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 Bommie’s 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 I’d go here with him. That’d be sooo awkward!
However, I’d 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, I’d cook for him.
Err~ Scratch that! Why would I cook for him? He freakin’ locked me inside my room.
“They say you’re a good actress…” Taecyeon said, while pouring some wine on my glass. Eh? Was he talking to me?
“Oh, I don’t act anymore since…” I frowned. When did I stop acting? I can’t remember. I just remember that I had to stop acting because someone wanted me to stop. But I couldn’t 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? what’s up with this friend of mine? “I think it’s 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 don’t have to be in such a haste. It’s 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.
“What’s up with you Bommie? You did not even finish your favorite steak!” I hissed. “That’s so rude of you. The guys aren’t 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 you’d go with me tonight right?” he said, wriggling both of his brows at her. But Bommie’s 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 don’t need to give her a ride anymore, Honey. Taecyeon here already volunteered, right Taec?”
“Yeah. Sure. Let’s go Dara.” he said, yanking Dara along with him.

Boms POV
“Hey!!!!!!! You can’t! Come back here!” I tugged at Seunghyun’s sleeves. “Babe, we need to get her home. US,” I emphasized pointing at myself, “…not any other guy. It’s too dangerous.”
“It’s okay Babe. He’s my friend. I know him inside out. He’ll take her home safely.” Seunghyun assured me.
“No… no… babe. You don’t know how dangerous it is for her. Even if you trust your friend, we may never know who’s waiting to ambush them.”
He chuckled after hearing what I said. “Was she the daughter’s president to be ambush? Come on Bommie. Don’t worry too much.” Hugging her and light bestowed a kiss on her hair.
No… you don’t understand how complicated her life is… What should I do?
