The Past

IF YOU

As the group 2ne1 nears the end of their tour, the members, Bom, Minzy and Dara thinks of what will happen to them after. They all know that Chaerin will be flying to the US for her album and might be stay there for a while. When the concert ended, Bom pulls Minji inside their changing room

"What's wrong Minji?"Bom asked her as she sees the sadness in the eyes of their maknae, Minji shook her head but releases a deep sigh

"You can tell me what are you thinking.."Bom said again, Minji then looks at her but before she can say a word, Dara opens the door and saw the two

"Hey.."she said, Minji smiles a little while Bom looks at her

"What are you guys doing here?"Dara asked the two

"Oh nothing, we're just resting for a while. Ahm where's Chaerin?"Bom asked her

"She's outside making some phone calls.."Dara answered and slump her body on the couch, Minji looks at her Unnie, the latter feels that among the three of them, Dara is the one hurting right now, it's not that she don't want Chaerin to pursue her career but being away from the person you love the most will be hard

"So you guys talk already?" Minji asked her

"No. Not yet.." she answered

"When you will talk to her?"Bom asked her too, Dara shrug her shoulders while staring at the ceiling, MInji sighs as well as Bom, they are all happy for Chaerin and they will support her no matter what but this is too quick for them

"Can i not attend the after party? I'm tired and i feel like i'm gonna be sick.."MInji said, Bom just nods her head, she stand up and pulls Minji but before the two can get out, Chaerin enters the room

"Hey!"she said while smiling, the two who was a few feet away from the door smiles at her while Dara just look at her way

"Hey.."Bom answered

"Jjangmae said that we can all go now, some fans are waiting for us at the bar.."Chaerin said, but no one moves

"What's going on?"she asked

"Minji's not feeling well, she needs to go back to the hotel"Dara answered

"But what about the party?"

"Tell them she can't make it, apologize for the fans.."

"But this is the end of our tour and concert.."Dara then gets irritated and stand up from the couch, she then furrow her eyebrows while looking at Chaerin

"Do i have to repeat everything i said Chaerin? She feels sick and still you're thinking about that party?!"Dara said, she pulls Minji away from Bom while Chaerin is a bit shock on what happened

"What's wrong with her?"Chaerin asked Bom, the latter shook her head and sigh

"You should know what's wrong with her, you are her girlfriend. Let's go before Jjangmae finds out that Dara and Minji are gone.."The two went to the party but surprise to see that Dara and Minji was there too, the latter decided to go to the party thinking this will be the last of it. The party continues and no one in the audience or fans notice the sadness on their faces. After the party ended, the four went back to the hotel but this time it's different, Bom is the one riding with Chaerin while Dara is with Minji

"Isn't she happy for me Unnie?"Chaerin asked Bom while looking ouside the window

"Who? Dara?" Bom asked, Chaerin nods her head in response

"Are you really asking me that question Chae? Dara is so happy for you, don't you know that?"

"I do but these past few days she seems aloof and sad.."

"Because you are leaving. It's hard on her part being away from you, we're together for five years Chaerin, five years. It hurts for me and Minji that we need to end our journey with 2ne1 for a while but it's much harder on Dara."Chaerin looks at Bom and sigh

"She loves you so much, i can see that. Though it will be hard for her to see you go, you guys having a long distance relationship, it doesn't matter to her. Why? Because as long as you are happy, she is happy.."Bom added, tears starts to flow from Chaerin's eyes

"I don't want to leave her too but i want her to pursue her acting career while we're on a break.." Chaerin said

"Then talk to her, a day after this you'll be leaving South Korea.."

"I will Unnie, i will talk to her later.."

 

AT THE HOTEL

When Chaerin and Bom arrives they were shock to find out that Minji and Dara are nowhere to be found. Some of the staff said that once they arrived, the two run towards the elevator

"What floor?"Bom asked one of the YG staff

"They pushed all the numbers Unnie.."she answered

"Damn! Okay, we'll check every floors then call me if ever you found them.."Bom instructed, the rest of the staff agrees and they all went to search for the two

 

 

MEANWHILE..

Dara is sitting on the bed while Minji is lying down. The two are quiet and in deep thinking. Minji is sad that her dreams will be on halt after this day while Dara is sad because her one true love is going away.

"Do you think our fans notice that there's something different on our performances?"Dara heard Minji said

"I don't know Minji, to tell you honestly this is one of the hardest day i faced my entire life.."Dara answered

"You okay?"

"I think so. How about you?"Minji didn't answer so Dara looks at her, she saw her silently crying, she then smiles a little and motion for Minji to sit beside her

"You can tell Unnie everything you want. I know most of them thought that there's a rival between us, Real Maknae and the Fake Maknae, they don't know how close we are.."Dara said, Minji smiles

"Yeah they thought that we had a gap because of that thing but seriously, i don't care even if you are the maknae.."

"Finally you admitted that i'm much cuter than you!"Minji laughs then smack her Unnie's shoulder

"That hurts you know.."

"Maybe you are the cutest among us but you're the most sensitive one.."

"No i'm not! I just need to feel that you guys needed me."

"But we do. We need you not because you are the face of our group, that you have many followers. We need you because 2ne1 won't be 2ne1 without you. Even one of us left, this group won't be the same again.."Dara listens and didn't say a word to Minji knowing that any moment, the young one will tell her all what she's feeling inside her

"When i was a kid, all i want is to be a great singer and a dancer. I love to perform, i remember performing in front of my family, dancing and singing like crazy.."Minji said with a smile on her face

"So when YG wants me to be one of his trainees, i didn't hesitate. I talked to my mom and they were supportive of me. I trained hard all those years to be somewhat perfect and then they announced that they are going to create a girl group. I'm hoping that they will pick me and they did and I saw you guys.."

"Being a 2ne1 member is the best thing that ever happened to my life not because my dreams finally came true because i found 3 more important persons in my life. That's you, Bom-Unnie and Chaerin-Unnie.."

"It's hard for me that things like this happen. Chaerin-Unnie will be leaving us soon to pursue her American dream. I'm not mad at her Unnie, will support her but i'm afraid that we won't be 2ne1 anymore.."Minji starts to cry then Dara hug her

"We will always be 2ne1, no one can replace that, no one can tear that. Even though we are not working together anymore, we will always be here for you.." Dara said

"But i can't do it all by myself.."Dara then broke the hug and put her hands On Minji's face and lift it up

"You can Minji. You are a talented person. You are pretty inside and out. This is the break you are waiting for. Show them what you got and i'm always here for you.."

"Unnie.."Minji said, she hug her again and this time they are both crying

"I don't want to see 2ne1 go.."

"Me too but we need to accept the fact that it might happen anytime soon now.."Dara said

Chaerin and Bom search the entire hotel but there's no sign of the two. They are worried that something happens to them

"Maybe they just need some time for themselves.."Bom said

"Huh?"Chaerin asked

"This will be our final concert Chaerin, tomorrow it will be different.."

"Unnie 2ne1 is not disbanding. We're just taking a break from our group.."

"Don't get me wrong Chaerin, i love you and i do support you. For me i already reach my quota.."

"What do you mean? Are you leaving too?" Bom nods her head at her

"What? Why?"

"I need a break from all of these issues thrown at me. People keeps on judging me and telling i'm a drug addict but i'm not. They need to stop spreading news because it's affecting the person involve.."

"Don't mind them Unnie. Haters will always be like that.."

"I know but it's taking a toll on me. I want to leave S.Korea for a while while you guys do what you want to do.."

"But what about Minji and Dara?"

"Why are you asking me that? You are leaving them too right?"the two went quiet for a while while looking at each other

"I think the four of us needs to talk before this night ends.."Chaerin said and she pulls her Unnie towards the elevator

Bom calls Dara's phone again and this time the latter answers it. She told Dara to meet her and Chaerin on her hotel room in 10 minutes. Bom and Chaerin waits for the two without saying any word to each other until they heard a buzz. Bom opens the door and saw Minji and Dara standing there

"Where have you been?!"Bom asked irritated, Minji smiles while Dara winks at her

"Nothing.."Dara answered, they both went in and saw Chaerin sitting on the couch

"You got us worried sick!"Chaerin said

"Sorry Unnie, Dara-Unnie and i just talked.."Minji answered

"About what?"

"A lot of things.." Dara answered, Chaerin motions for Dara to sit beside her while Minji lay down on Bom's bed

"Okay, i think we need to talk too.."Chaerin said, the three waited for her to start the conversation but the latter don't know where to starts

"I'm not mad at you Unnie.." They heard Minji's voice, she is still lying down on the bed

"I'm happy that you are finally pursuing your dreams. This is what you wanted right?"Minji asked her, Chaerin don't know what to say

"Just promise me one thing Unnie.."Minji added and looks at her

"S-sure Minji, what is it?"

"Don't forget us especially Dara-Unnie. It doesn't matter if you won't come back here in a matter of months or call us to say hi but please call Dara-Unnie everyday.."Dara can't believe that Minji will say those things towards Chaerin

"I will Minji and please don't think that there's no 2ne1 after this night. I'm just pursuing my dreams in the US and i'll be back okay, i will.."Chaerin said but Minji just give her a faint smile

"It doesn't matter anymore. Dara-Unnie is right, we do have our own forte and this might be the break we need after working hard for five years.."

"Minji.." Bom said

"I'll be okay and i know you will support me guys like the way i'll support you three.."Chaerin cries and walk towards the youngest member, she then pulls her up and hugs her

"I promise, while i'm on the US, i will produce songs for our group and when i come back, we will produce our 2nd full-length album" Chaerin said while hugging her

"Promise Unnie?" Minji asked her

"Yes i promised.."Chaerin answered, she looks at Dara who is staring at her and Bom notice it

"Come on Minji, these two need to talk.."

Present Day...

"What's going on mommy?" they heard a little girl's voice, all of them look at her except for the person who she calls her mommy

"M-mommy?"Bom asked her but she didn't respond, YG saw and heard everything, he walks towards the little girl and carries it

"Come on sweetie, let's buy some candy at the store.."Hyun-suk said

"But why is mommy crying?"she asked

"No she's not, now let's go.." They watched YG walk-away with the girl then Dara stands up

"There's nothing to talk about anymore Chaerin, all you said and you promised that day didn't happen.."Dara said, she turn around and starts to walk, Chaerin who is shock, confused can't move nor react on what happened, Minji walk towards her and said

"This is not about 2ne1 anymore. We don't care if you didn't come back for our group but for you not to contact her and pushed her away is enough for heart to love someone else and forget you.."

 

 

THAT NIGHT..

Dara arrives at her house, she cancel her photo shoot that day and only attend the event. Her mind was floating somewhere else, she can't think straight. Jjangmae's the one who drive her home, she lets him stay for the night

"Don't think too much okay.."Jjangmae said

"How? I think i can't do that.."Dara answered

"Yes you can, just focus on your work but at the same time Dara, Chaerin needs your explanation too.." Dara covers her face with both of her hands, she starts to cry again. The thing is since Chaerin left, Dara can't stop crying every night. She always pray for her safety and success but somewhat Chaerin forgot her

"I'm tired of crying. I'm tired of everything.."Dara said, Jjangmae looks down then saw a shadow moving towards them

"Hey.."Jjangmae said, the person smiles a little then look at Dara

"You can tell me everything Dee. You know you can cry on my shoulder.." Dara then run towards where that person is standing and cries

"I thought i'm okay.. I thought i'm.........."

"Ssshhh, stop crying. I told you everything happens for a reason and now that you are given a chance to know everything, don't push Chaerin away.."Dara broke the hug and look at those pair of eyes

"I'm here, i'm always here even though i know deep down inside you don't love me as much as you love her.."Jiyong said
