The One Who Got Away

Chapter 34

Dara's brows were raised in silent question as Kwanghee came in and sat on the swivel chair beside her. He waved his hand at her telling her to just continue with what she was doing. As soon as she turned the mic off she turned towards her "surprise visitor".

"Do you need something from me?" Dara wondering why Kwanghee came back as their time slot together had been over for about an hour already.

"Sort of. I'm doing a favor for a friend. He asked me if I can read his confession on air for him." He smiled sheepishly at Dara. "Jae Suk already gave me the go signal."

"Okay." Dara looked weirdly at her co-worker but dragged her chair to the side to make space for him. "I'm supposed to read some readers' confessions after this song but you go ahead and do your thing."

Kwanghee cleared his throat just as the song trailed towards its end. He then turned the mic on and went on to say, "Hello, Confessioners!" He greeted Dara's avid listeners. She'd been gathering a loyal group of fans through the late night show and they came up with a name and had started calling themselves the Confessioners.

Dara looked curiously at him because he didn't sound like himself. Dara didn't know he was capable of being serious. "His friend must be having some serious problems,' she thought.

"I know you only wanted to hear Sandara's angelic voice but forgive me for a short moment. I'm doing a favor for a friend who's going through a tough time in his life these days. He wanted me to read his confession here. So here it goes. It's entitled, " He paused a little for effect. "That Person. It's written in dedication to a colleague of mine by my friend who wants to remain anonymous."

"At that time, my love
I didn't know, so...
I lost one person
No, I think I'm going to lose someone
I sent one person
No, I think I'm going to have to send someone
All these time, your love
I did know, yet...
I left one person
Yes, I know I'm going to leave someone
I let go of one person
Yes, I know I'm going to need to let go of someone"

Kwanghee looked directly but sadly at Dara the whole time as he read Iguana88's words.

(Disclaimer: The confession is not entirely written by me but it is based on Jiyong's actual poem entitled 'That Person' that was written when he was still in school. I think it was his former teacher who showed it in "The Secret Star Big Bang's G-Dragon's Story". Please don't kill me because I revised the whole poem to fit my story. The original translation read like this:

I lost one person
No, I think I'm going to lose someone
I sent one person
No, I think I'm going to have to send someone
At that time, your love
I didn't know it...

I hope nobody hates me for taking liberty on Kwon Jiyong's original work.)
