KNOT 22 - PREMONITION

Dara was sitting on the edge of the bed with her arms crossed over her chest, her eyebrows mashed together. She couldn't even recall how she was able to dress up in superhuman speed. All she knew was that she and the cyborg would have one hell of a confrontation.

Jiyong stepped out of the bathroom after taking a quick shower and grabbed a shirt from the closet while Dara followed him with her gaze. He gingerly wore the shirt as he strode towards the fuming tiny woman who looked so adorable with her flushed cheeks and pouting lips. If she was trying to intimidate him, she was miserably failing.

"Tell me honestly", she started as Jiyong sat beside her. He stared blankly at Dara and blinked innocently, making the latter exhale in irritation. "Why was I only wearing your shirt when I woke up?"  she asked.

"I had to make you wear a shirt last night because you stripped while complaining that you feel hot", he said flatly.

Oh my Godddd!!! Dara buried her face in her palms and groaned. How many embarrassing things did she do last night? Was there anything left of her dignity?

"H-How much did you see?" she asked while peeking through the spaces between her fingers.

"Everything."

*GASP!*

"Even my-...my..."

"Of course I saw your vagina. Seriously, what kind of question is that? You should be asking if I licked it", he said with a straight face. Dara almost fainted on the spot. Her hands fell limply on her lap as she stared at him with bafflement. "I'm kidding", he said in a monotone.

"JIYONG!"

"I told you nothing happened. People should start calling me Saint Jiyong."

"Then what is that super jumbo size doing there?" Dara asked. Jiyong lazily glanced at the box on the bedside table before gazing back at her. "Don't you know what condoms are for?" he asked in a disinterested voice as if her question is the most boring and stupid thing he hadever heard in his entire life.

"I'm warning you", Dara hissed, clearly on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"It's one of those two weirdos. In the middle of the night, someone opened the hotel door and threw that box inside. My bet is Jursa Seunghyun."

"Super jumbo size, Jiyong?" she asked in a weak voice. The cyborg cocked his eyebrows at her haughtily.

"Don't worry, it will fit", he said.

"I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT!"

"Okay", he mumbled and stared at her, the side of his lips tugging in an amused smile. Dara averted her gaze and cleared her throat. They were way off topic because of the cameo appearance of that damn strawberry flavored SUPER JUMBO SIZE condoms.

"Uhm. So...", she glanced at him momentarily but quickly looked away, focusing her eyes on her lap while twiddling her fingers.

"So...", Jiyong copied, waiting for her to say something. He planted his hands on the bed and lazily leaned back while staring at her. After a few seconds of silence, Jiyong lightly kicked her foot, catching her attention. "Are we just going to sit here? We can roll around on the bed and do those nasty things that you were thinking, you know."

"Argh! Will you stop it! I'm trying to collect my thoughts. I'm still mad at you, but not that mad, but still mad", she shot back. She sighed and fell silent again. There were so many things that needed to be said but oddly, she couldn't seem to find the words to say.

Her train of thoughts was interrupted when Jiyong kicked her foot again, making her furrow her eyebrows in annoyance. "I told yo-"

"I'm sorry", Jiyong cut her off. He peeled his gaze off her and focused his eyes on the floor as he slouched, resting his arms on his thighs. "I did the thing that you hate in dramas. Jursa Seunghyun told me that something bad will happen to you if I don't let you go. I got scared. I'd rather see you safe than see you beside me, that's why I pushed you away. I thought I'll be able to endure. I thought I was doing the right thing. But Hadana Bom showed me what I was letting go and the things that I will be missing if I give you up. Then she made me realize that the two of us should decide what course to take, rather than deciding it by myself. So I want to hear your thoughts." Jiyong shifted his head towards her and held her gaze, "Do you want me to stay beside you even if it means you'll be in danger? Or do you want me to leave so you'll be safe?"

Her heart clenched in a mixture of emotions as she roamed her eyes on his face. This was the Jiyong that she saw in Hadana Bom's ethereal orb - the Jiyong that was in pain because of her. Dara couldn't find her voice as she continued staring at him, noticing how anxious he was becoming as the seconds ticked by. Honestly, she was scared too. Jursa Seunghyun wasn't someone who'd just utter words that didn't have meaning. She felt that there was a hidden truth behind it. What if something bad really does happen to her? Will she be in an accident? Will it be painful?

"Stay", she murmured; and the relief on Jiyong's face instantly washed all her worries away. Whatever that bad thing that would happen to her, whatever lay ahead, Jiyong was all worth it. Jiyong was worth all the pain. "Of course, you have to stay. You're my hubby", she added.

A tiny smile finally formed on Jiyong's lips. "Cheesy, aren't we?", he mumbled. Dara smiled back and lowered her gaze, a bit embarrassed with how things are flowing.

"Come here", he said and pulled her towards him. Dara looked at him quizzically. "This is the part where we'll kiss and make up", he said and leaned down, capturing her lips momentarily and pulling back to stare at her.

"I thought I'm supposed to be the cheesy one?", Dara whispered with a smile, planting her hands on his chest.

"Why are we whispering again?" Jiyong asked in a hushed tone while grinning at her.

"This is what they do in dramas."

"Oh? Do you know what else they do in dramas?" he whispered while planting another soft kiss at the corner of her lips.

"What?" she asked, slowly shutting her eyes as Jiyong gently brushed his nose on her cheek.

"Use strawberry flavored condom", he murmured.

"KWON JIYONG!"

_____________________________________________________________

"I'm really curious who won the bid. That Choi Jin Hyuk -..." Joo Won stopped and stared at Dara who was practically bouncing merrily and was obviously not hearing a thing that he just said. "What's with you? Did something happen?" he nudged her, finally getting her attention.

"Huh? Nothing much", she replied, her smile getting wider as they walked towards the hotel restaurant.

"What do you mean nothing much? You are pooping rainbows right now."

"I'm just happy that we're going back to Seoul", she shrugged. Of course, that was a lie. Jiyong was back to his normal self and she was one happy cheeseball.

Bom and Seunghyun were both a lump of mess after drinking last night that's why only her and Joo Won headed out to eat breakfast. Jiyong was probably in the restaurant by now and her happiness exponentially increased just by thinking that she was going to meet him again, even if it was only more than an hour when she got out of Jiyong's room.

"Something did happen", Joo Won insisted, narrowing his eyes at her.

"Oh, will you stop it?"

"This is about Jiyong, right? You're really not going to give me a chance anymore? Huh, baby?", he pouted in an attempt to look adorable. It kind of worked because Dara chuckled heartily.

"Your fanboy secret shame is kind of a deal breaker, to be honest", she jokingly said.

"Damn", he muttered and displayed an exaggerated look of disappointment. Dara laughed and hit Joo Won's arm lightly.

It was such a great morning, which was instantly ruined when they came across Jiyong at the corridor near the restaurant entrance with an unknown woman CLINGING TO HIM!!

@#$(&@%)@%$#@%&@#)@#%)**%)$%$#*%~==#%^&_+~!@#!!!!

And they were talking in hushed tones!!! @#$(&@%)@%$#@%&@#)@#%)**%)$%$#*%~==#%^&_+~!@#!!!!

And..and...did he just pat her hand? THE CYBORG IS CHEATING! @#$(&@%)@%$#@%&@#)@#%)**%)$%$#*%~==#%^&_+~!@#!!!!

@#$(&@%)@%$#@%&@#)@#%)**%)$%$#*%~==#%^&_+~!@#!!!!

@#$(&@%)@%$#@%&@#)@#%)**%)$%$#*%~==#%^&_+~!@#@#$(&@%)@%$#@%&@#)@#%)**%)$%$#*%~==#%^&_+~!@#!!!!

Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

Dara tried to focus her eyes elsewhere and noticed that Min Young was walking towards the two from the opposite direction. Even girl cyborg was looking slightly pissed.

"Jessica", Min Young greeted.

"Min Young", the woman stated. Dara and Joo Won approached them and introductions were made. It turned out Jessica was the executive assistant of Choi Jin Hyuk. Dara's eyes turned into slits as she looked at her hand comfortably resting on Jiyong's arm. And the cyborg did not seem to mind!

"You're Mr. Kwon's executive assistant? Do you want to trade places even for just a week? Ha ha ha, I'm kidding!" Jessica jokingly said, but Dara knew she was serious. She managed to give her a lopsided smile despite wanting to tear out all her hair.

"I'm sure Mr. Choi wouldn't want that. You're an asset to his company", Jiyong replied.

"Then, I can be an asset to your company too", Jessica flirtingly stared at Jiyong, making Dara cough.

"Too bad we don't have a position suited for you", Min Young stated, maintaining her icy attitude.

"I heard you got engaged. Yoo family's only son, is it?"

Dara saw the corner of girl cyborg's lips twitch. She thought her laser beams and hidden weapons would be activated. She was actually hoping that Min Young would snap before she did. Listening to Jessica made her want to buy a dynamite that she could stuff in her flirty mouth.

"That's right. I'm engaged with Yoo Ah In."

"Well, congratulations then", Jessica said sarcastically. "Anyway, I'll be going now. I still need to prepare for our flight", she said and lightly squeezed Jiyong's arm, which did not escape Dara's eyes.

"That was intense", Joo Won exclaimed as soon as the girl was out of earshot. "Now, I'm really hungry."

"Jiyong and I need to go back to Seoul in an early flight because Mr. Lee Soo Man called for an emergency meeting. I've moved your flights to an evening schedule so you can have a few hours to enjoy Jeju Island. You've all worked hard", Min Young informed them.

"Alright. Keep us posted regarding the bid winner", Joo Won said and entered the hotel restaurant.

"See you in Seoul, Dara. Let's go, Jiyong", Min Young said and started walking ahead. Dara looked at Jiyong silently and was about to enter the hotel restaurant but the latter stopped her on her tracks.

"See you back in Seoul", he said calmly.

"Okay", she replied, averting her gaze, feeling slightly embarrassed in front of him.

"There are a lot of eyes here but you do know I want to kiss you, right?"

GAAHH!

"Uhmm..yeah", she replied. It was getting hard to act cool and nonchalant when her heart already skipped out of her chest and was now shrieking gleefully somewhere in the alternate universe.

"Meep?" he murmured, a smile tugging at his lips.

"Miu miu", she whispered while grinning stupidly at him.

CL's POV

"WE'RE BACCKKK!!!" I heard TinkerBom's loud voice as soon as they arrived in our apartment. She unceremoniously tossed her luggage aside and dived on the couch.

"Wait! I'm almost done with our food. Dara, can you set up the blanket on the living room? Let's have picnic dinner in the living room", I said.

"You cooked?" Dara asked while setting up the blanket with the help of Bom.

"Yep", I replied. "I managed to prepare our dinner without losing a finger, with a little help from Google oppa."

"Google oppa? Is there a new oppa in the neighborhood?" Bom asked innocently. Oh Bom. Why am I not even surprised? Hearing her weird questions and even weirder remarks already became a normal occurrence. I kind of missed it while they were away.

We finished the pseudo-picnic setup after battling with Bom not to stuff all the fries in her mouth. The woman had an affinity to all things fried and she was able to make half our dinner disappear before we could even slump on the floor and take our position. "So, what happened in Jeju?" I asked as soon as we were all settled.

"Ask Dara. She and Jiyong spent the night together", Bom said while busily stuffing her mouth with everything within her reach. I was too busy gawking at her display of monster appetite that it took a few seconds before what she said registered in my mind.

"WHAT?!" I directed my gaze at Dara who was shriveling in embarrassment.

"Nothing happened. I was drunk and we just slept", she answered defensively.

"O-kay. Did you kiss?"

"CL..", she whined.

"Whispered sweet nothings? Hug?"

Dara buried her face in her palms, refusing to look at us.

"You're done", I said matter-of-factly. I knew this will happen sooner or later. "Is he your boyfriend now?"

"W-We really didn't talk about it"

"He practically sealed the deal, but you're still clueless? Stop being such a virgin."

"But, we didn't-... I mean...", she stuttered.

"Ah ah ah", I stopped her. "Stop making excuses and just hold onto him. It's obvious that you two like each other. Do you want to end up like our sunbae in college who was forever banished to the friend zone? It sucks to be noonafied. It sucks even more to be friendzoned when you obviously would have been great together"

"Which brings us to the discussion about Seungri. How are you and Seungri?" Bom suddenly asked, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

"What? What do you mean?" I asked back. Me and that vagina? What the hell was Bom thinking? Seungri and I will forever be in the opposing team. I mean, yeah he's cool but I just can't imagine a future called 'Me and Seungri'. He's too loud! If he was an introverted, emo kid, he might have a slight chance with me. I like mystery. Seungri is like an open book and he's proud to admit everything! Even those that should not be said and is considered 'embarrassing' in society flows out of his mouth. And he told me he likes cute girls. *sigh* I can't do cute. A piece of me dies whenever I do aegyo. Wait, why am I even considering it?

"Ohhhhh. Seungri, huh?" Dara chimed in.

"Don't you dare side with that evil", I hissed at her and pointed at Bom, the culprit who began this ridiculous talk.

"Now, now. I was merely asking how things between the two of you are."

If there were random pipes lying on the floor, I would've probably beaten her to death with it. "Nothing. There is nothing betwween us", I snarled at her.

"Sweetheart ~ ~"

"Bom!"

"Anyway...", Dara cut us off before I could grab Bom's hair and scrape her armpit with my fork, "..the bid winner was not announced and we're still waiting for the result. The representative of the main investor, named Choi Jin Hyuk, said they have not chosen the winner yet. That guy is really weird."

"Bad weird or good weird?" I asked.

"Bad weird. I think he's hitting on me."

"Why is it bad weird? Omo! Is he like sixty-something years old and drools while talking. Eww!"

"No. He's young. But he gives me the creeps."

"Have you told Jiyong about it?" I asked while trying to stop Bom from hoarding all the fries on her plate.

"No. Which reminds me, Choi Jin Hyuk's executive assistant is flirting with Jiyong! That girl named Jessica was clinging to him this morning! Argh!"

"Meh. Have you seen how Jiyong stares at you? That girl doesn't stand a chance."

"Really?"

"Unless she has a powerful vagina", I said, and both of us chuckled.

"I think her vagina is pretty powerful", Dara remarked and both of us roared in laughter.

"Seungri?" Bom asked while looking at us interchangeably, clearly not following what we're laughing about.

"No. I mean...Dara, you explain"

"Huh? Uhm...", she looked at me for help and I just shrugged my shoulders while chuckling. "When we say she has powerful vagina, that's just a figure of speech and we actually meant that she gets all the boys..."

"...with her powerful vagina", I interjected and both of us started giggling again.

How did this conversation start? I couldn't even remember. For the rest of the night, we continued our nonsense chatting and acted like a bunch of girls that we are.

_____________________________________________________________

SANDARA's POV

The plan was simple - go to the office and act cool when Jiyong is around. That plan was bound to fail.

I couldn't stay still inside the room while Jiyong was just on the other desk. You see, that strawberry condom did things to me. I can't take my mind off gigantor. No, seriously. I can't. I mean, how big is it? I had to fight the urge of staring at Jiyong's bulge. I'm pretty sure staring at a guy's *cough* is frowned upon in any corner of the planet.

That, and because Jiyong was not paying attention to me. *sigh* He seemed to be fully concentrating at the documents on his desk. I was not able to hide the tiny pout that formed on my lips as I stared at him. Ever since I arrived in the office, he didn't even initiate doing anything. I mean, I'm not expecting flowers or fireworks or a grand announcement that we are dating, but a simple smile and a kiss on the cheek will do. I should've known that this thing will happen. What can I expect from this guy who went to the same cyborg training camp as robocop?

I kicked my swivel chair and let it roll towards his desk. If he's not going to initiate anything, I will! Hah!

"Mr. Kwon", I called out in a sweet voice.

"Yes?" he asked without even looking at me. Urgh! My ego was increasingly deflating with his cold demeanor. Can't he see that I'm trying here?

"Hubbyyy~ ~", I mumbled and tugged the sleeve of his suit.

"Mmmmhhmm?" He finally glanced at me and cocked his eyebrows quizzically.

"Are you still busy?"

"Yeah", he said and shifted his eyes back to the papers. "I retracted my resignation already and told my father that I'll help for the time being. The stock price of the company is still very low and I need to re-evaluate the other assets and see if we can increase the revenue."

"Okay", I said in a dispirited voice.

"Why? What's the matter?" He asked and stared directly at me.

"Nothing", I said and averted my eyes.

"No, really. What's the matter?"

"Nothing. I'll go back to my work, Mr. Kwon", I said and was about to go back to my desk but he pulled my swivel chair towards him again.

"Okay, now I get it", he said and looked at me with a blank stare. "You want sexy time, don't you?"

"WHAT?!" I shrieked. This weirdo! I really don't understand what kind of circuits and machinery he has inside his brain.

"I'm sorry. I have to decline", he said matter-of-factly, his face remaining impassive.

Oh God. I want to punch him. I really do.

_____________________________________________________________

Dara stole a glance at Jiyong and seeing that his eyes are still directed on the speaker inside the conference room, she slumped her shoulders in defeat. Was she just deluding herself that there was something between them? What happened to 'You do know I want to kiss you, right?' What happened to 'Do you want me to stay?' What happened to super jumbo size strawberry flavored condom?! *grumble grumble grumble*

She 'inconspicuously' brushed her arm against his arm to have a little bit of skinship but it was welcomed by an odd glare from him. "Move a bit", he said. Her cheeseball spirit was utterly ruined.

Jiyong didn 't seem to have interest in her. Jiyong was only teasing her when they were in Jeju. Jiyong will soon straighten things out and tell her that they are not a couple and she's just hallucinating. Jiyong is going to crush her heart and make her live a miserable life FOREVER!

Throughout the day, her mind was filled with all immature and silly thoughts. And as if her misery was not enough, Jessica showed up in their office.

It was just a few minutes before the office ends and Dara thought she'd finally have her alone time with Jiyong. When she heard the knocks on the door, she immediately felt the disturbance in their paradise.

"Hello, Mr. Kwon. We meet again", Jessica said as she stepped inside the room.

"Miss Jung", Jiyong acknowledged her. Whether he was surprised to see her or not, Dara couldn't tell. The cyborg has up his force field.

"I'm sure you already heard the great news from Mr. Lee", she said and opened the binder that she was holding containing some documents. "I just need you to sign some papers", she then laid the papers on his desk and pointed at some parts where Jiyong had to sign. Dara's eyes widened as she saw her 'accidentally' rubbing her melons on his arm.

ARRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!! @#$(&@%)@%$#@%&@#)@#%)**%)$%$#*%~==#%^&_+~!@#!!!!

@#$(&@%)@%$#@%&@#)@#%)**%)$%$#*%~==#%^&_+~!@#@#$(&@%)@%$#@%&@#)@#%)**%)$%$#*%~==#%^&_+~!@#!!!!

Dara cleared her throat but Jessica didn't even give her a glance, too preoccupied with pointing the blank lines to Jiyong when he obviously could do it by himself. How hard was it to sign at those damn lines? Even a trained monkey could do it!

"There. All done", Jessica chirped and smiled at Jiyong. "I guess we will be seeing each other more often."

"Thank you, Miss Jung."

"Just tell me if you need anything, alright? I would love to be of help", she said and winked at him.

SHE WINKED AT HIM!!! BAZOOKA!!! KATANA!! SAMURAIII!!!

"I'll be going now. See you around. Bye-..uhm.."

"Sandara Park. Mr. Kwon's executive assistant", Dara said between gritted teeth.

"Right. Bye!" And with that, Jessica sashayed her way out of the door. Dara crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Jiyong.

"What?" he asked.

"I would lovvveeee to be of help", Dara mimicked and rolled her eyes at him.

"How very cute", he stated boredly. "Come on, let's go home", he said and grabbed the strawberry backpack from her desk.

"I'm going home by myself", Dara declared and snatched the backpack from his grasp. She then started walking towards the door and was about to open it when Jiyong grabbed her by the arm and spun her around.

"What's up with you?" he asked, frowning at her.

"What's up with you? You've been avoiding me the entire day!"

Slowly, an impish grin formed on his lips. He then wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed her closer to him. "You really want to have sexy time, huh?"

"Jiyong...", she sighed exasperatedly.

"I just need to control myself when I'm around you", he muttered and kissed her lips. "This is what happens if I don't", he whispered and trailed kisses down her neck. He licked her skin, earning a moan from her.

"See?" he said and looked at her tenderly.

"Whatever", she murmured, snaking her arms on Jiyong's neck and finally smiling at him.

"Whatever", he grinned.

"Whatever", she chuckled. "What was Jessica doing here?" she asked, remembering the unwelcome appearance of the woman.

"We won the bid", Jiyong said, hugging Dara tightly, his face becoming grim.

"That's great!" she exclaimed.

"I have a bad feeling about it. I retracted my resignation because I knew Choi Jin Hyuk was up to something. Don't get anywhere near that asshole, cheeseball", he warned her.

"Jealous?" She playfully puckered her lips intending to kiss him, but Jiyong moved away.

"Even if I'm your boyfriend now, you can't have your sexy way with me. I will resist", he said in a serious tone.

"Boyfriend? What boyfriend?" she blinked at him.

"You really want to play that game?"

"I just told you to stay. I didn't say you're my boyfriend", she retorted while trying to stifle her smile.

"After all the things you did to me that night, I'm still not your boyfriend?" he said, an evil smirk appearing on his lips.

"W-What things?" she stuttered. "No, I don't want to hear it. You liar", she tried to push Jiyong away but he held her in place.

"Didn't you notice that I was wearing pants in the morning?"

"I don't want to hear it!" she shrieked and clamped her hands on her ears.

"That's because you grabbed my p3nis that night and held it like a microphone and then..."

"STOP!!!"

"..then you started singing!"

"GAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

_____________________________________________________________

"No", Jiyong said defiantly.

"But hubby!"

"No", he said irritably and walked ahead of her, shoving his hands in his pockets, the strawberry backpack dangling on his shoulder. Dara stared at his retreating back and smiled. Things were really back to the way it was before.

Jiyong continued walking briskly along the Han River overlooking the Banpo Bridge and clicked his tongue. He is going to kill Seungri. It was that Panda who fed Dara the idea of making a dating itinerary wherein they're going to visit the 'couple places' in Seoul and take couple pictures. It was quite obvious that Seungri was just trying to see if he'd succumb to Dara's request. That bastard! If any of his Big Bang bandmates gets a hold of those couple pictures with the 'couple places' as their background, he is never going to hear the end of it. And he's pretty damn sure Seungri will get his hands on those pictures, being the demon that he is.

"CLING!" Dara suddenly dashed towards him and wrapped her arms around his waist. He raised his arm over her head and draped it over her shoulder as they continued walking, his eyebrows still mashed together.

"Let's go home. You can take as many pictures as you want in my apartment."

"I don't want to", Dara mumbled in disappointment.

"Don't listen to Seungri, cheeseball."

"We're already here. Let's stay for a couple of minutes and watch the rainbow lights of the Banpo Bridge, then take couple pictures. Mmmhmm? Hubby? Please, please. Cling, cling", she whined.

Jiyong sighed. "Fine", he said, earning a shriek of glee from Dara. She then dragged him towards the river and they sat on the concrete, their feet dangling above the water.

"Why do girls like such strange things?"

"Couple pictures? Because they're romantic! Besides, I get to spend time with you. Look at this nice weather-.." Dara's words hang when a droplet of rain hit her open palm.

"You were saying?" Jiyong asked with a straight face.

"You're right. Let's go home", she said in a dispirited voice.

"You and your cheeseball ideas", he stated. "Wait here", he said and got up. After a few minutes, Jiyong got back with an umbrella in hand. He then opened it and sat beside her, pulling her closer to him. Just in time, the rain started to pour and the Banpo Bridge rainbow light show commenced.

Dara's heart swelled with happiness as she stared at Jiyong's profile. He was watching the rainbow light show with disinterest while pressing her close to him, making sure that she doesn't get wet. The rain was dripping on his side but he doesn't seem to mind. Dara lifted her gaze and saw that most of the umbrella was directed on her.

"Hubby"

"Mmmhhhmm?"

"Why are you still keeping your picture with Min Young on your desk?"

Jiyong shifted his eyes at her, the dancing rainbow lights reflected on his face. "It was the only picture of me when I was young. My stepmom ruined my other pictures"

Dara looked at him somberly. "That's too bad. Don't worry, from now on, I'll take a lot of pictures of you"

He smiled and directed his eyes towards Banpo Bridge once again. To his surprise, Dara climbed on his lap facing him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. He looked at her quizzically but the cheeseball just grinned giddily at him.

"What are you doing?", he asked.

"You're getting wet. This umbrella is only good for one person", she reasoned.

"What a lame excuse. You just want to do your dirty way with me. I'm calling the cops", he said flatly.

"Couple picture number 2!", Dara chirped and aimed her phone at them, rubbing her nose against Jiyong's nose. She took the photo and giggled as she inspected it. "See? It's romantic!", she exclaimed and showed it to him.

The photo came out really nice. Both their eyes were closed and their nose were touching as Jiyong held the umbrella between them. In the background, the rainbow lights of the Banpo Bridge could be seen and a blue light was reflected on them in the picture.

"We look like Avatars. The light was blue when you took it", he complained.

Dara rested her chin on his shoulder and sighed. "My husband always complains", she noted.

Without uttering a word, Jiyong moved his head and kissed Dara on her cheek. He then closed his eyes and rested his forehead on her shoulder. "Cling", he mumbled and wrapped his tattooed arm on Dara's waist.

_____________________________________________________________

Black umbrella. She was following the man with the black umbrella. It was raining. People holding umbrellas were all walking in the opposite direction but only the two of them were heading in a different place.

A forest. What is she doing in the forest at night? Dara ran aimlessly until she reached a river. Her heart was pounding and she didn't know what to do. "It's time to cross the river, Sandara Park, soul of Heloise", she heard a man say but when she spun around, everything became different. She was standing on the seashore. She saw the prints of her bare feet on the sand and as she traced her steps, she saw Jiyong sitting on the sand waving at her. Dara tried to call his name but no voice came out of her mouth.

"Jiyong", Dara whimpered on her sleep.
