Bargaining
The Five StagesHaving poured all of his energies writing and composing, GD decided to take a short nap. Crawling into bed, he snuggled into his favorite blanket. Immediately feeling safe and warm, JiYoung drifted off to sleep wrapped in his cocoon. 20 minutes later, however, he was awakened by TOP yelling at him.
"Yah!", TOP said, "you need to wake up!"
GD pulled the blankets tighter around him, trying to shut out TOP's voice.
"JiYoung!" TOP continued, "You need to change." he said firmly, making it clear that GD was NOT going to be allowed to ignore him.
"Hyung," GD whined, "can't I just stay here? I don't wanna go anywhere."
"You're the leader, of course you have to go." said TOP shaking his head.
"Harumph." GD mumbled as he threw aside the blankets and made his way to the closet, scratching his head and yawning. GD stopped when he opened the door asking, "What am I supposed to wear?"
"Something nice like me." said TOP proudly modeling his ensemble. "Don't I look nice?"
GD rolled his eyes, "Yes, hyung, you look very nice." he said noticing that TOP smiled with satisfaction even though he knew he was being teased. "TOP," JiYoung said, staring blankly at his clothes, "I just can't do this today, tell them I'm sick." and he closed the closet door.
"Ji, you have to go. You're the only one of us that can speak to everyone." TOP said trying to reason with GD.
GD sighed and opened the closet again, selecting a black military-style jacket, some black skinny jeans, boots, and a snapback. "This is stupid," he said throwing his choices onto the floor.
"You're thinking too much, just pick something nice." said TOP.
GD began flipping through his clothes half-heartedly when he pulled out their very first concert t-shirt. They had all autographed it in celebration of their success. GD smiled, then returned the shirt to it's place, and grabbed a simple suit, that was neither too flashy, or too plain. 'This will do', he thought.
"Hey, I have to get going, make sure you are there on time." warned TOP.
"Yes hyung." GD answered, as he began working on his hair.
"Ji, you know I love you right?" TOP asked.
"Yes hyung," GD said, "You tell me everyday, and SeungRi, and TaeYang, and DaeSung, and..."
TOP smiled, "Arraseo, arraseo."
"Oh, Hey..." GD turned to ask a question, but TOP had already gone. He went back to fixing his hair.
