THIS LOVE 

As soon as I enter the Dukyang studio I immediately spotted her on the living room.

Long black hair, pearl white skin, small face and tantalizing eyes. She didn’t change much. She’s just like how I remember her years ago... Beauti— Yes, the one who left you years ago.

Who just in left you years ago without saying goodbye.

Fine! She’s more beautiful compared before. She’s beyond beautiful, she looks stunning, gaddamnit!

She’s charmingly laughing on whatever the girl said beside her.

She’s like this beautiful flower in the middle of the dessert. It’s so easy to see her, because well… she just stands out from the rest.

Jin Ah… You’re so near yet so far. I remember telling her years ago—

“Get a grip, Jiyong.” Manager-hyung murmured from my back. “You suddenly look like a lost puppy.” As soon as I heard it I immediately bow my head towards the staff who spotted me.

“Oh, G-dragon-ssi. You’re early. Annyeonghaseyo!” She greeted as she rushed towards me. Her greeting caught everyone’s attention and not long after, everyone is rushing towards me.

“Annyeonghaseyo!” I greeted with a bow on my left and right. “Annyeonghaseyo!”

“Oh my gosh… It’s GD!” One of the participant gushed as they also rushed towards me.

“Annyeonghaseyo!” I greeted their group which made the girl squeal even more… Okay, maybe she’s one of the excited fangirls.

All four of them move towards me except for one… Jinah. Who’s maybe hiding her tall figure behind their backs.

Poor attempt little girl.

I couldn’t help but to smile with what she’s doing, she’s still the same. Shy as ever.

After a minute of greetings and small chatter, a staff called our attention, he asked the participants and I to gather in the living room as the filming will start after his short remarks.

“Hello everyone!” He started in English. “Again, congratulations to the lucky five of you and welcome to Seoul! As we discussed a while ago, we have a couple rules and regulations inside the house.  We gave each one of you a copy for your reference… For any other inquiries, please don’t hesitate to approach anyone from the staff or me... I’m not going to hold your time any longer as I know you five are very excited to meet our superstar superhost G-dragon!” He excitedly said with a clap. “So without further ado, I welcome you, GD!”

I walk towards the center of the living room with a smile. I could feel her eyes lingering on me, watching my every move. God, how hard I tried to avoid her gaze!

Be cool, Jiyong, Be cool.

“Hello everyone.” I greeted in English. This is the script I memorized a while ago. “Welcome to my Airbnb. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay here and we all have fun.”

Her gaze is so strong I couldn’t help but to stare back at her…

What are you doing to me, Jinah?

My heart is beating fast.

Faster and faster…

God. Why am I suddenly nervous?

Uh…

What should I say next?

Ugh. Forget the damn script!

Whatever.

“This place is very special to me.” I suddenly said in Korean out of the blue – which gladly translated to English by a staff on my left. I said it while staring back to Jinah. I saw her gaze waver a little when she heard it. As if it affects her as much as it affects me.

Great.

Good to know you’re not as heartless as I thought.

“I’ve stayed here during my trainee days that’s why I have a lot of memories here… good and of course bad memories.” I bitterly added as I removed my gaze from her. “I learn a lot of things here… This place is a witness to my joy… my cries… my dreams and passion.” I muttered then suddenly Manager-hyung nudged me – as if reminding me that I’m out of the script and the atmosphere is beginning to become awkward.

“Anyway~” I said in English and in a happy tone. “I’m very excited to know you guys better! We’ve prepared a lot of activities for today so let’s all have fun and create new memories in this very special place. Thank you.”

Damn girl. Stop with that stare.

I better wear my sunglasses.

“Nice to meet you Cody.” He said in perfect English after Cody finished her looooong intro.

Cody made a cute bow which made everyone laugh before shaking his hand.

Actually everyone made a long intro…

Cody talks about her passion in tattoos – which she practically get because she likes GD (It’s so weird calling him GD) and his tattoos. She even promised a free tattoo for him!

Chiaki from Tokyo on the other hand, shared a lot of stories about her work and what kind of a bit
