“Dara…”

God, knowing the truth is definitely a killer. I felt my heart was pulled from my chest by bare hands, crushed it, and stepped on it…again and again…and again.

“Dara…” I felt her hands cupping my face. Making me look at her eyes. Making me realized that…this wasn’t over…there were more things to come.

“How…how…w-wha…w-why…” All the questions were jumbled. I don’t know what should be asked, I don’t know how… “H-How…M-Ma, w-why…”

“Dara, listen…” She clasped my face and made me focus to her again. “Listen hard. Your father is–”

No, I don’t want to know who my biological father is…

Please, don’t tell me his name, because I might end up looking for him.

UMMA’S POV

“Your father is…is DaeSub.” Mentioning his name left a soury-bittery aftertaste on my mouth. Dara’s tear soaked eyes were as huge as a saucer and I nodded. “I think he’s a producer or something.” I felt sorry that Dara had to know all these.

Sorry, Jong-Kyu.

I was more concern about Dara’s relationship with Jong-Kyu, more than what she looked at me. She doted her appa so much that I know confessing these things will make things awkward for her.

But—I already dropped the ball, I have to let it roll…

Where should I begin?

I took a deep breath and now left myself in going back to my past. It was painful memory and going back if it’s not a necessary I wouldn’t dare to.

It was exactly twenty three years ago. I was living a simple yet extraordinary life in our province. It was a near perfect life for me. I had a perfect home with loving parents, of course I was in love with my boyfriend of almost ten years—Jong-Kyu. We were planning to get married after his release on military duty…but DaeSub the fast rising actor at that time waltzed into my life.

Just like any human being who didn’t have a chance to meet a real life celebrity I was star struck. Many possible things that I can come up with at that time…like the absence of Jong-Kyu, of me having to meet a celebrity for the first time…

But then the moment came when I laid my eyes on him…it wasn’t purely a simple fan admiration towards an idol, I realized that I–

–I knew right there and then that it was love at first sight.
