At first, Jieun didn´t register what was happening, but she found herself responding at the kiss, even without acknowledging at all. Jiyong wasn't aware either of what he was doing, but at the end, both were carried away into the sweetest, passionate kiss they´ve ever experienced. Slowly they separated recovering their breaths, Jiyong took her in his arms hugging her tightly since he was afraid she could run at any moment. They stayed like this for a while, until Jieun tried to get off his embrace

-Jamkkanman, let me stay like this a little longer. - jiyong pleaded

-Oppa…Jieun started to say, but he didn´t let her go

-Jieunah…Don´t say it was wrong please, don't say you don't want me, because I like you so much that I'm scared. - He didn´t care to expose his feelings like that. He only wanted her to reciprocate them.

- Oppa, she finally broke free from his arms. Look at me. - Jiyong just lowered his gaze a little embarrassed

- Oppa I do like you. I like you a lot and if you´re scared, then I'm terrified. - she said frankly

-I don't know if this is ok…I don´t know if it could work…Jieun said overwhelmed

-Be my girlfriend.

-Huh? Jieun didn't know what to say

- Let´s date, be my girlfriend, I promise I won´t hurt you

- Oppa…

He didn't want to give up, so he looked at her sternly waiting for her answer

-Naneun…I want to be with you Oppa…I want to be your girlfriend. - She finally let her feelings win over her worries and surrendered

-Jinja??? Kid! You make me so happy. - He took her back in his arms and kissed her again

-Ok, I think we should go back and change our clothes, otherwise, we ´re catching a cold. She said after a while

-Arasoo, let´s go back my princess. - Jiyong was so happy he forgot they were soaked.

Months passed, and they kept going on secret dates every time they had spare time, which was very difficult because of their always packed schedules. Anyways, if they couldn't make it, they´re always texting or calling each other. He always texted at night and at first time in the morning, just to say hello or say how much he missed her. Jieun also was always saying him to get rest and eat well since she knew how he worked so hard and neglected his basic needs.

The other members started noticing soon their leader suspicious behavior. Always attached to his phone, and his sudden excellent mood, even when they were under pressure at work.

As always Seungri was the first one to teasing him about it. He was sure his hyung was dating someone, but he didn´t know who was, so he kept asking annoying questions, while Youngbae just stayed silent, smiling because he knew better than the others.

-Hyung, so are you going to tell us, or I must guess. - Ri wasn’t dropping the subject

Daesung also got curious. – So, who is she? Could it be that Japanese model, Kiko?

-Stop this sh*t and focus on the song, both of you. Jiyong started to lose his temper

-Well, if it´s Kiko we can ask her next week, we´re going to Japan on tour. - Seungri said to Daesung

Jiyong just gave a dead glare to them and kept on what he was doing

-Do you have some free time tonight? Jiyong asked Jieun over the phone during a brief time he took to have lunch

-Mmm, I think I could…she answer, considering how to drop some of her duties to get free a little earlier.

-Ok, then I´ll pick you up at 8?

-9?

-Ok, 9 then

Jiyong was waiting at her parking lot as usual when she entered the car without him noticing

-OMO! He yelled. -You startled me, kid! Your ninja skills are improving, I didn´t see that coming...,

-Haha, I’m great, right?

-Yeah, you´re too good to be true, he said taking her hand and giving a quick peck on her lips

-Let´s go, he said smiling broadly

He drove through the streets without any given destination and ended up at Han river shores in a quiet place where he parked the car.

-So, you have to go on tour tomorrow? Jieun said casually

-Yeah, I’m afraid we cannot meet next days, his sadness forming a lump in his throat

-I know…Jieun lowered her gaze, fidgeting with her necklace. - It´s just…I don´t like when you go overseas, especially…. Japan

-Why? Don't you trust me? You know it´s part of our job, baby. He said caressing her cheek, but Jieun couldn’t help but feel insecure. - I know, but…

- What? Why are you so upset? Did I do something wrong? Jiyong wondered what he was missing and what Jieun wasn´t telling him. She finally looked at him in the eye

-It´s just…You always go partying when you go there. You have so many friends…Especially that model…

-Kiko? He said, surprised by Ji Eun´s sudden jealousy. - But she´s a friend and you are my girlfriend. He attempted to assure her.

- I don´t know…But you seem very close to her

-Please Jieun, I promise she´s my friend and nothing else. I need you to trust me. Also, I can´t believe you´re getting jealous over a friend, because you have so many male friends and most of them are into you.

-What? What are you suggesting? I do have friends, yeah, but not that kind…They´re not ´into me´

- Oh C´mon, even my best friend had a thing for you... Don´t pretend you didn´t know

-Even if that´s the case, I chose you. You´re my boyfriend and I´m loyal

- Me too.

She folded her arms and pouted.

- Ok, I only hope you won´t disappoint me, because if you do…

-It´s that a threat? He jokingly said, not getting yet why Jieun was so prickly about it

-Yes, it is.

-Baby why we are wasting our time in this useless discussion when I have to part tomorrow, and I won’t be able to see you in a whole week. Can you just stop being this way?

- I do trust you Oppa, she finally said after a while. -I know you have no choice, but don´t let me down ok?

-Yagsog, I promise Jieun, you´re the most important people in my life right now
