29.

Before anyone could even reply to Chaerin, Seungri's phone suddenly rang. Jiyong and Seunghyun laughed. "Ooh. Problem with Sajangnim again?"

The Suju guys looked confused, while the girls sighed knowingly. Seungri sputtered a weak "Shut up!" before going outside. Surprisingly, Heechul and Kyuhyun followed.

"Oh well. Birds of the same feather flock together." Chaerin muttered in English. "What?" Leeteuk asked sheepishly. CL smiled.

"It's just a saying that people who are similar to each other always get together..something like that, I guess?" She explained, not really knowing how to tell him clearly.

"Oh."

CL sat down on the available space on the couch. The others couldn't help but take a piece of cookie, even though their minds were a bit preoccupied.

"CL roo. Do you think it's a good idea to let those three be together without supervision? I mean, no offense, but judging from Heechul's behavior and Kyuhyun's reputation as an evil maknae..and add troublemaker panda at that..it's going to get weird." Dara asked CL, unconsciously clinging to Donghae's shirt.

Not that Donghae minded the simple gesture.

CL looked at Leeteuk reproachingly. "I think this oppa should be the one to decide."

Leeteuk shuddered visibly at the 2NE1 leader's intimidating eyes. "Er.. they're pretty harmless."

"Harmless, my ." Donghae grumbled to himself. Dara giggled at his words.

He went red immediately as it dawned on him that she heard him say a bad word.

"Um..sorry for the term?" He apologized nervously. Dara's eyes crinkled as she grinned at him in amusement.

"You getting so flustered is becoming one of my favorite things to see." She remarked, showing no signs of disgust at his crude word.

He smiled at her, facing her completely on the couch. 

"You seem to have forgotten that there are people other than the two of you." T.O.P cooly stated, smirking when he saw the two get flushed when they realized it.

Dara looked at their reactions to her and Donghae's little 'in their own bubble' moment. Expectedly, Bom and Minzy were busy clicking away as they took pictures of them. The Big Bang guys looked like they needed something on their faces.

Specifically, her own fist.

The leaders, on the other hand, looked happy but unsure.

Meanwhile, outside 2NE1's dorm, Seungri leaned his back against the wall beside the entrance as he spoke to the president, Yang Hyun Suk.

"Why isn't anyone from 2NE1 and Big Bang answering my calls?" YG sternly asked. Kyuhyun and Heechul paced back and forth in front of Seungri.

The panda-like guy chuckled nervously. "Ah, sajangnim. It's because we have so many group activities..we're pretty busy. Hehe."

"What activities are you talking about I'm the president of the entertainment company you're in I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A FEW ACTIVITIES!!"

Seungri moved his phone away from his poor ear. Kyuhyun couldn't help but chuckle while Heechul just grinned at Seungri, then gestured to him to continue the call.

"Sorry. Um..we had no time to look at our phones because Big Bang is at 2NE1's dorm right now." Seungri explained. Then he heard the president sigh heavily.

"What..are you guys doing there? Aish, forget it. Seungri, my boy, do me a favor. Tell 2NE1 that they're summoned in my office right now. I'll be waiting."

With that, the line was cut off. "That old hiphop guy always bossing me around." Seungri grumbled as he stuffed his phone in his pocket.

"What did YG say?" Heechul and Kyuhyun asked. "He wanted me to tell 2NE1 to come to the YG office.Oh, wait. Does that mean we can't do what we're planning?"

Heechul frowned in realization, but a few seconds later, his evil mind was enlightened..and his face showed the creepiest expression you could ever see.

"2NE1 going out of the dorm for hours is not a hindrance because I've got an even better idea." Heechul motioned the two guys to come closer and whispered something.

After hearing his plan, Seungri and Kyuhyun looked at Heechul in awe. "I see you in a different light now hyung. Ddabong!" Kyuhyun laughed maniacally.

The group that was still inside the dorm was just starting to settle down again normally, when the three guys came back.

"Chaerin, YG-nim needs 2NE1 in his office right now." Seungri announced. CL mockingly cheered. "Thank heavens, I don't have to be in the same room as you."

"Bwo?" Seungri
