Chapter 31 - Something That Wasn't There

Daesung sat in the small restaurant waiting for Lina. On the table sat a bouquet of lavander. He dressed his best but he felt like she'll always show up dressing even better than him. He knew she wasn't too busy since she's just going to be doing small promotional things so he knew she'd be able to make it for their planned dinner. Daesung had planned it to where it would feel like a date without it needing to be. 

Daesung's eye turned to the door when Lina entered. She dressed in a  black sleeveless dress. The back of the dress was longer than the front, stopping just below her knees. The top of the dress hugged her body tightly, showing just enough cleavage appropriate for an up and coming model. She wore matching black heels, Daesung guessed it matched right up to his height. Her hair was straightened and reached just below her elbows, flowing in different shades of brown. Her smile brightened up the entire room when she saw Daesung. Daesung however felt his heart begin to beat fast.

Daesung stood up and pulled her chair out for him like the gentleman he is. He gave her a bright smile as she thanked him.

Lina smiled, happy to see him after a while of not being able to. "You're looking very handsome."

"You don't look so bad yourself Lina." Daesung says. "These are for you." He handed Lina the flowers, causing her to smile.

"Lavender, my favorite." She said smelling them. "It's beautiful, thank you." 

"You're welcome. Please, order whatever you want." Daesung said while waving a waiter to their table.

After putting the flowers in her lap, Lina took hold of the menu that sat in front of her and began scanning through the fancy thing. As Lina began scanning the menu, she almost stood up and went back outside because the prices were too ridiculous. However, Lina didn't want to disappoint Daesung since she figured he probably always eats meals this expensive. She didn't want to seem too poor to understand these types of food. She believed she should just be happy since Daesung will be treating but she couldn't bring herself to feel alright with Daesung paying for such expensive things, especially because of her. So she chose the cheapest thing they had.

"I'll have the shrimp Alfredo pasta with garlic bread please." She said, smiling up the waiter.

After Daesung ordered his food, he asked to be served wine. "Drinking is alright, right?"

Lina smiled and gave a slight nod. "Are you sure? It's quite pricey at this restaurant. I don't want you to be spending too much on me."

Daesung chuckled. "Lina, don't worry." He smiled as the waiter poured wine into both their wine glasses. "How was your day today?"

"It was alright. A little slower than expected. I didn't think I would have time to just lay around at home." Lina said honestly. "What about you? When do you usually film your shows?"

"My day has been busy as usual. Nothing too crazy. The shows usually get filmed on Saturday afternoon or Sunday but it airs the week after. Have you been watching my shows?" Daesung asked.

"Of course. I watch them when I'm in the van, getting some dramas in on the road." She smiled. 

Daesung showed a bright smile. "It's funny right? The rates are kind of low but it's pretty good for a variety show."

"It's only good because you're on it." 

"Pfft, if the other band members were to join, the ratings would be through the roof." Daesung said taking a swig of his wine.

Lina looked at him and wondered what he meant. If the other members were to join, the ratings would be lower than the floor. She didn't want to make it seem biased because it truly wasn't. G-Dragon it too pretty for any role in any type of variety show. Meaning he would care too much about the way he dresses or the way he say things than to be actually funny. Youngbae wasn't at all that bad in the category of variety but Youngbae is better at dancing and singing than he is at making people laugh. Top is too serious for such a role. He could be funny when he wants to be, but soon enough, he'd give up on trying to be funny to just being himself, someone who wasn't that funny unless he's teasing someone or teasing himself.  Seungri -on the other hand- may be funny, but he's inappropriate for the normal rating of most variety shows. If he gets too comfortable in a place, he'll start treating them as friends and begin to be immature. 

But Daesung, he was the all around type of guy. He was funny and in a way where he wasn't putting anyone down. He is also a team player so he makes efforts when he's teamed up with someone. When Daesung loses the challenges, it's most likely due to his lack of knowledge or the fact that he's always being betrayed by the other cast members, which makes the show just that more funnier. He is also not afraid of getting dirty, which gives the show a funny edge when they go to different sites. He can also be clueless at times which adds more to the fun factor. Not to mention the fact that he gets along with just about anyone so anyone who comes onto the show will most likely not be in any troubled waters with him due to the flexibility of his personality.

"I don't think so." She says only to receive a look from Daesung that showed he obviously disagreed with her claim. "Oh come on, the other members are not as funny as you are. They would suck being on this variety show."

"Oh that's too much of a praise." Daesung says shaking his head. 

"It's not praise, it's the truth." She smiled.

Their food soon arrived, causing all conversations to stop momentarily. After getting a few bites into their delicious and expensive meal, they began speaking about dreams. Daesung asked Lina about her dreams and found out she didn't have a dream until recently when she got the once in a life time chance to be a model. Now she wants to be able to settle all her parents future bills and make sure they stay healthy and away from stress. Then she wants to be able to travel, maybe even model for other companies over seas but she soon took it back, claiming that she wouldn't even get a call if she tried. Daesung reassured her that she would, saying they'd be crazy not to cast her. He promised that if nobody from over seas came forward to have her model for their company, he will most likely create his own company just for her to model in and for whatever company they want. Giving her the chance to model everywhere. Lina only shook her head at the very outrageous idea he spurted out but a small smile crept up on her lips because she found it honestly very kind. 

Lina then asked him, what his dreams were. This caused Daesung to give a small chuckle. He then went on explaining how he has been working on being an idol for over ten years. His ultimate dream was to sale the album as best as possible. He had to correct the way Lina asked the questions. What Daesung has isn't dreams, they're goals he has to achieve or else he would have no life or a career. His current goal was to make the rating for the show stay as high as possible so the show doesn't get cut off. Lina stared at him for a second, but she shook her head, not believing a single bit of his answer. Lina decided to inform Daesung that even idols who has already achieved their dream has dreams. Daesung continued to deny but promised Lina that he'll tell her the moment he gets a dream.

After their expensive meal, Daesung and Lina found themselves walking in the park. The air was cold so they both wore their very large coats over their more fancier wear. The air was thin and their breaths were coming out in white smokes. Lina held the flowers in her hand, swinging it back and forth as they walked silently next to one another. 

"I hope you don't mind." Daesung says.

"With what?" Lina asks looking confused.

Daesung took hold of her hand and intertwined their hands together. "I only have a pair of gloves. You can have one side while I have the other. Our two in the middle can keep each other warm."

Lina's eyes sparkled and her neck wanted to twitch at this new profound feeling of romance. Yet she instantly stopped herself because it wasn't something to be romantic about, especially with Daesung who could never involve any romantic feelings for her. "Oh that's cool." She said, trying to sound smooth and calm, which she didn't succeed in doing so.

Daesung found himself chuckling at Lina. "Just let me help you put it on."

Daesung took hold of the bouquet of flowers and balanced it securely on top his head. "Here, bring me your hand."

Lina smiled a goofy smile at what he just did, couldn't help finding it cute. "Thank you." She says, feeling as he slipped each finger through the thick knitted gloves. 

"Anything for you." He says with nothing but seriousness in his eyes.

Daesung handed Lina the bouquet of flowers as he took a hold of her hand without the glove and began making their way through the park. They were talking and smiling as if they were on an actual date. Lina had already forgotten the bad day she had and the mean photographer she dealt with earlier. Also the fact that she had a schedule dryer than the Sahara desert, which broke her heart, Daesung made her forget about her dramatic heartache without even needing it to be mentioned. 

"Are you ready to go?" Daesung asks. "Your face is all red." He says cupping her cheek.

Lina couldn't help but feel like something has changed between them and she wasn't too sure if it was a bad thing or not. She was sure about something, she cared deeply for Daesung and knew the feeling was somewhat mutual.

.......................

Lina entered her apartment, not expecting to be wiped out from her work and the walk she had with Daesung. After reassuring Daesung that he didn't need to take her to her dorm room, he finally agreed. He wasn't going up to the dorm, from what he told her it looked like Daesung was going back to the entertainment company to record with his members. 

Lina walked passed the living room and to her bed room. However, entering her bedroom she stopped and backtracked to the living room. Sitting there with a large smile was Nabi. She sat on the couch with a few folders on her lap and ear phones in her ear. She wore pajamas and her hair looked a little damp as if she got out of the shower an hour ago. She looked at Lina waving as if she lived in the dorm while Lina was the guest who intruded on her privacy.

"Nabi, oh my gosh!" Lina said going over to her and hugging her. "I missed you so much."

Nabi  returned the hug gratefully. "I missed you too." She said returning back into her seat. "I know I shouldn't have come unannounced-"

"Please, I don't mind at all."

"But I actually wanted to hang out. Didn't know when you'd be home so I thought I'd put in a little bit of work that I brought from home with me." Nabi says holding up the binder that sat on her lap. 

Lina smiled. "Well you can go ahead and continue that. I'll go and take a shower and come back out and hang out with you."

"Sure."

Nabi actually had another intention on coming to Lina. However, the moment she saw Lina enter, she didn't want to make it seem that it was the only reason for her visit. Since taking over the company and watching over her older brother who was running her father's company to the best of it's abilities, she felt like she needed to visit Lina. Among all her company issues, she has been hearing a few things about Lina in the world of modeling. As someone who owns a name brand company in Korea, she was bound to hear her name being mentioned in the radio show Lina was on.

Nabi's phone began to ring and it was her personal cellphone ringing which was why she was able to answer it without sighing out in annoyance. "Hello?"

"Babe, what are you doing? I told you I'm going to be in the studio but you didn't text me back. Where are you?" Ji-Yong's voice rang through the other end, causing Nabi to smile.

"Sorry, I got caught up with work. I'm at the dorms." Nabi began going through her work, just checking and marking down stats. 

"Why are you at the dorms? I told you that you could come to the studio with me and hang out if you weren't doing anything." Ji-Yong says.

Nabi made a face, showing absolute dislike to the idea. "Yeah, that sounds great. Hanging out with your band mates. Sounds like a dream." She said sarcastically.

"Girls dream about hanging out with us like this and you turn down my invite?" Ji-Yong says with pure amusement.

Nabi smiled. "Then you can call them to hang out with you."

"Ouch, for someone who says they love me doesn't really act like it." Ji-Yong says.

Nabi gave a small chuckle. "Shut up, you know I love you but tonight, I'm hanging out with Lina."

"Lina? Wow, haven't seen her in awhile. I hear she's close with Daesung." He says then suddenly going into a whisper. "Well that's what Daesung said." He sighed and shook his. "Speaking of the devil, Daesung just came and he's kind of over dressed."

Nabi stuck her thumb in her mouth, biting lightly on the tip as she began thinking. "Now that you said it, so was Lina. You don't think they were out together, do you?"

"I don't know but please don't involve yourself in their love life if that's what they're doing. I'll call you back. I'm going to be helping Teddy today with our songs."

"Alright." She smiled.

"I love you my DwaeJi." Ji-Yong says hanging up before Nabi could swear at him.

Nabi sat up in her spot. Instead of thinking about ways to torture Ji-Yong for continuously calling her DwaeJi, she began thinking about Daesung and Lina. She felt like they were a pretty good match. Giving the fact that they were both so nice and both probably really lonely. If Nabi could help Lina with anything, it'd be to give her someone she most definitely deserved. She wanted to set them up even though she knew she shouldn't mess around with it. Something told her to do it , she felt like listening to that voice. Even if she wanted to help them move forward with their relationship, she need help from someone who's out of her damn mind most of the time.

 She needs Jang Mi.
