the other members came walking towards them,
a deep voice saying
" what is the joke about",

pressing the stop button and walked out leaving sang-ook stunned .
kim na-ra palms had been sweaty all through that evening she had called dong-ju earlier that day that she needed to talk to him,And here she is sitting down in a fancy restaurant Waiting for him her only hope being that tonight's goes well ,kim na-ra waves at dong-ju from seeing him from afar.
"Sorry i am i was a bit late, there was a bit of traffic " ,
,"Have you ordered anything yet ?"
" not at all i was waiting for you"
she cleans her palms on her dress Picking up the glass of water the wet up brought over and drinking them in one drink
"Why do you look so nervous ? "
"I want to talk to you about something "
"hold on For a minute" he says Then calls the waiter over, ordering Dinner for of them which was low in fats ,
"do you like the meal if not,is it not up to your taste?"
"it is very nice thank you"
Kim na-ra says as they kept on talking about different things,kim na-ra still trying to process in her head how she should tell him about why she wants to see him,she wants to end the relationship or what ever it was between them but don't know how,this dinner one could see it has been specially made for her, finally she decides to wait a little before telling him what she was here to say.
"I am very happy to be here with you today ,kim na-ra thank you for being in my life,that is why I am very sure of what I am about to do right now, you know very well how much I love your family,how much you and in-su mean to me,so I think ,,,,,,,"
dong ju says trying to stand up from where he sat, kim na-ra cutting him short
"dong-ju I think we should give each other some space"
"excuse me?"
dong ju felt like he heard it wrong among all the things he was expecting to hear this afternoon,this was not one of them,
"I mean it dong ju,I have been thinking over the past few days and I don't want to hurt you"
"how will you hurt me, kim na-ra I know you have been pressured lately with things at home and everything, your brother told me"
"told you what",
" he, just said that you have been feeling pressured lately and that you might be lonely and need someone to talk to "
"is this for real "
kim na-ra thought her smile making dong-ju feel something was wrong,the ring of a phone call interrupting them,kim na-ra picks up the phone,it was a call from hyun-a
"where are you ? "
"hyun-a what is wrong why are you sounding like this"
"na-ra ,it is your mom,I mean my mom
"what is going on my mom your mom " ,
"hyun-a what is it ? " dong-ju asks looking worried
from the few things kim na-ra said dong-ju could see that something was going on,he quickly called the waiter and paid the bill
"i got a call that my mom is going over to your house right as we speak na-ra"
kim na-ra didn't wait to hear the rest getting up to leave
"what is going on Kim na-ra"
dong-ju wanted to know holding her hand to stop her
"this is not time for questions dong ju take me home,I need to get home fast",
at that they both left in a hurry, entering dong-ju car as they drive for Kim na-ra home.
