Dara was still crying as she tried to distract her pain by scrolling around her computer. She needed to submit a paper that is due the following day but instead of doing it she kept herself busy by looking at videos, pictures and reading articles on the internet. It’s been a month after the Jaejoong incident but Dara was still feeling down and angry. She still couldn’t find the courage to forgive and forget what he did. She hated him with all her guts. She hated remembering him and their memories.
She has been in her room everyday not wanting to go out. He asked Teddy to drive her and fetch her from school everyday. She didn’t want to drive her own car, beside the fact that Teddy won’t let her drive anyway. He was afraid that Dara would slip into her insensible state, thinking of something while driving and will get into an accident or maybe feel suicidal and just crash her car down a building or let it jump on a river which for Dara makes sense as well.
Dara was ok with it. After the incident, she would make sure that she followed everything that her brother says. She was glad that Teddy was on her side every time she needed him. As well as Bom and her other friends, but like the Dara that she is.. She wouldn’t see or contact them unless she really have to. She rejected every offers she got from them, from lunch dates or dinner gatherings or even those little sleep overs at CL’s house. School was getting hectic as well, she never get to meet them at school, having different majors kept them from seeing each other that much, that and the fact that Dara wasn’t really willing to meet anyone.
“Ya! Sis! You want to come to the club tonight?” Teddy peeked through her door wearing his goofy smile.
“no! I would rather stay home and sleep” she laid down on her bed and covered her face with a pillow. An obvious sign that she wasn;t really interested at all.
“And what? cry till morning?? Come on, get over it already” Teddy patted her shoulder. When the latter stayed unmoving The older sibling heaved a deep sigh then playfully pulled the pillow out of Dara’s face.
“Ok, from now on go out with your friends, do whatever you want, just as long as you keep away from Kim Jaejoong. I don’t want to see you here in the house so often. Seeing you around here looking like a zombie drives me insane! Mom will kill me for not taking care of you….”
“Oppa!! You hate me being around here?” Dara pouted at him
“Yes because just looking at you all being EMO like that is depressing, it already filled the house with so much grief and I don’t like it.. I’m glad mom will be staying with Aunt Brits for a year in California or else she’ll be depress just by looking at you” Teddy playfully answered her piching her cheeks.
Dara kept quiet for a while, thinking “Are you sure I’m allowed to go out and do whatever I want? You won’t care? You swear?” Dara finally act a little more enthustiastic making the older one to smile
“Yes, but just as long as it’s not about Kim JaeJoong. all is fine with me” Teddy stood up still figuring out what his sister was about to do.
“Ok.. let me think about it though” Dara smiled then signaled the other to leave.

“Bommie! Get up! let’s go out shopping!” Dara said on the phone almost screaming
“Ya! Do you have to yell like that? What’s up with you? why all of sudden?” Bom asked still confused by the sudden change on Dara. She knew that her friend was depressed lately that’s why they never get to hang out with her anymore.
“I’m driving my Oppa’s convertible I need to scream or else you won’t fucking hear me! i’m speeding babyyy! I’m almost in your crib, get your ass on the shower and be my date today aiyt? see yah in a minute Bommie ta ta!”
Bom stared at her beeping phone for a minute still looking confuse, and got into a conclusion that her best friend have already gone insane
“What’s with her?? she’s what?? speeding??? See ya!?? my crib? Aiyt? What’s up with the language and since when did she start liking and driving Teddy’s convertible?didn;t she hated it for messing her well comb hair?” Bom heave another deep breath. “my friend has turned crazy”

“Yes, I want it light blond, Platinum blonde will be awesome but it will be disturbing to look at don’t you think so?” Dara blinked inoccently on the hair stylist as the latter just kept nodding at her. It’s rare to find a girl who would like to change their hair color to blonde, especially in korea, unless you’re a singer an idol or an actress who needs a new color to keep up with fashion
“Then light blonde it is” Dara excitedly sat on the chair and prepped herself for hours of hair coloring
Bom stared in awe to what her friend was doing “Ya! Dara what’s happening?” Bom looks at her puzzled
“What do you mean what’s happening? Dara innocently replied, eyes on the reading material on her lap
“You know, all the sexy outfits you bought and now the hair? What’s up with that?” Bom irritatedly asked she somehow hated how the break up with Kim Jaejoong turned her friend into one irrational human being.
“Nothing, I just want something new. A change?” Dara mischievously grinned at Bom and casually flipped another page of the magazine
“Like? Wear sexy clothes and having that hair? Change is supposed to be for the better not for the worse Dara ah…” Bom eyes were pleaded for her to stop but Dara was stubborn.
“Yes…. That’s a start, isn’t it? this is my my start Bom. I need this to get over everything”
“What ever Dara, I just hope you’re happy that’s all I want” Bom shrugged her shoulder and started to flip the magazine on her hands as well, pretending she was reading but her mind going off somewhere “I wonder if Teddy oppa knows about this”
“I am happy Bom” Dara was looking at Bom’s reaction at the mirror, knowing fully well that her friend doesn’t believe her
“I’m sure you are” She rolled her eyes and gradually shakes her head with disappointment.

Teddy embraced her as if he never want her to go. It will be the first time for them to be separated since birth. Teddy never wanted her to go but he sure knows that it is the only way for her to recuperate for all the depression she suffered. But then Teddy wasn’t even sure if that leaving will be the right thing for her to do.
“Sandy, you sure about this?” Handing her the light baggage she needed. The latter just nodded with a smile “Well at least that blonde hair will find its place to blend in well with the surroundings” Teddy added messing his sister’s hair
“Oppa, i’ll come back… it’s not like i’m gonna stay there for good” Dara chuckled, she was a bit amuse at how her tough brother was looking depress and was pouting like a kid
“I know, just say hi to mom, and you better not date any blondes too, I mean, your blonde is already an eyesore… so better not bring another one home alright?” he glared at her who was still chuckling as she stepped backwards a bit.
“Tell Bom and the girls I’m sorry for not telling them… I’ll be back in two weeks though… If I like it there then I may stay for a month or two… if it gets depressing enough i’ll be back in two days!” she laughed bitterly knowing fully well that she could really do it.
“take care alright?” teddy waved his hand goodbye and Dara replied with a smile and a nod
“Oppa, try not to kill anyone when iIm away!” she glared then turned around not wanting her brother to see the tears she was holding back a few seconds ago.
“I’ll come back oppa, but i’m gonna miss you”

“What?” Jaejoong frowned, suddenly his drunkenness flew away the minute Changmin came in with a news.
“Well, Dara got herself a dropped out notice on the bulletin board for not attending all her class for the past two weeks. I was looking for the exam schedule when I saw her name on the drop out notice” the youngest explained not noticing the sudden change on Jaejoong. “Yunho hyung! I need a booze a strong one! Damn Gong Minji! That girl pisses me off!” he huffed angrily totally oblivious from the growing tension on Yunho’s private bar.
“ya” Yunho hissed “I can’t believe I’m mixing some stupid booze for someone younger than me! And since when do I looked like a bartender to you?” Yunho frowned but was already mixing a drink for their youngest who was obviously pissed as well.
Yoochun chuckled “umm, who’s Gong Minji?” it was the first time for Changmin to get pissed at someone especially with an unknown girl.
Junsu nudged Yoochun and pointed a finger at Jaejoong. The pretty guy was just staring at the oblivious Changmin, looking like he was about to asked something but just couldn’t.
“Ya! Who’s Gong Minji” Junsu asked again, poking Changmin’s face to get his attention
Changmin jerked up and looked around “What?”
“Who’s Gong Minji?” Yunho this time was irritated, he angrily slammed the glass of cocktail in front of their youngest friend getting the attention of the waiters and some of the familiar customers who manage to get close enough with Yunho and the group to allow them in his private section of his club.
“Ah.. Dara’s friend. Damn girl I asked her out for a dinner but fuck she said she’d rather go out with the stupid janitor than with a walking stick who happens to be acquainted with a jerk named Kim Jaejoong who made their precious friend ran away to America to heal her broken heart…. Aishhh!” Changmin hissed drinking his own cocktail, chugging it down like water.
Yunho, Yoochun and Junsu’s mouth fell, their eyes ran immediately fell towards Jaejoong who’s eyes widened instantly upon hearing Changmin’s revelation.
“She…. left?” Jaejoong heavy breathing suddenly made Changmin snapped.
“Ummm…. well” Changmin gulped
“When? Is she coming back?” the older guy seemed to have realized that it was really over… Changmin look around for help but his other friends just raised an eyebrow at him
“ummm I don’t know hyung… “
