CHAPTER 18 - JI VS. JAE

JAEJOONG’S POV:

“Hey why do you look so happy??” Junsu asked after seeing me staring and giggling in front of my laptop.

I glanced at him and smiled before I went back to my laptop. Don’t disturb me I am on spazz mode! I continued to scroll down fervently looking at her pictures.

“Eh…?? What are you doing huh….?” he jumps on the couch beside me and peeked.

“Uwaaa… hyung….why are you staring at Dara noona’s pictures? Don’t tell me….”

“Oh shut up….”

“Don’t deny it!”

“I am not denying anything…but I am not admitting anything too.” I smile inwardly, what now? I can’t look at her pictures? I am just curious! The fans kept commenting and telling me to look at her photo shoot of this and that so I got curious. Is it a crime now?

“You’re obvious,” he smirked.

“Huh?”

“You’re so FREAKING OBVIOUUUUUSSSS!!”

“Really?!!!!” I quickly darted my gaze towards him.

He blinked at me obviously surprised by my reaction before he laughed hysterically.

I raised an eyebrow at him.

“Ha ha ha..hyung.. with your reaction. You just admitted it,” he said muffling a laugh.

“Admitted what??”

He shook his head and patted my shoulder, “I think love made you stupid…” and with that he left chuckling.

“Love what….’’ I stood dumbfounded. “Yah..Junsu-ah….yah!”

Inside YG building 2ne1 and Bigbang are gathered eating lunch delivered from Yeolbong.

DARA’S POV:

“Eonnie…where did you buy your bracelet? It’s beautiful,” exclaimed Minji while tugging my hand to look closer at the bracelet. Bom and CL scooted next to me to take a look too.

“Waahh…is it new?” says CL.

“No it was given to me….” I muttered munching my drumstick.

“By who?” says Bom.

“By Jiyong-ah…” I said pointing to the unaware dragon on the far right end of the table using my drumstick.

All the girls stared at him suspiciously. I think he sensed that we are looking at him that’s why he raised his head with a confused expression.

“Oppa….” says Minji.

“Hmmm…??” a light groan was heard from him with his chopsticks still inside his mouth.

“Yah…Jiyong-ah…why did you give Darong a bracelet huh?? How about us?” Bom spat raising my hand showing him the bracelet that I am wearing.

His eyes grew wide then he coughed choking maybe from the chicken that he was chewing. Yongbae, Tabi, Seungri and Dae turned their gaze to us too.

“Oppa.. careful…” says CL giving him a glass of water.

Seungri quickly tapped Jiyong’s back.

“You can’t die hyung…”

Ji Yong punches his chest lightly while gulping the water that CL gave him in one swig. He settled the glass of water after he emptied it.

“Are you okay oppa??” asked Minji.

“Yeah Jiyongie…are you okay??” says TOP.

“I’m fine.” he answered still rubbing his chest.

“Now. Explain this Ji Yong.” Bom raised my hand again throwing Jiyong a questioning look.

“Bommie….” I whispered to her trying to stop her.

I know it’s weird that JiYong gave me a bracelet but I don’t find it a VERY big deal. I mean, what’s wrong with giving presents?

I love giving presents without occasion. ?_?

“You gave noona a bracelet??” Top asked dropping his chicken back in the bowl.

“What for hyung?” asked Daesung.

They were all giving him strange looks that I find it weird.

Hey what’s wrong with giving gifts?!!

----------------------------------------------------

JI YONG’S POV:

I nearly died choking on a piece of chicken meat. How can she tell them carelessly that I gave her a gift? Didn’t she even get a hint of what I meant on the note? I mentally kicked my brain, you damn brain think, think!

“Were waiting for an answer here…” Bom noona said raising an eyebrow at me with a tinge of impatience in her voice.

Why is noona so nosy? She really is the female version of Seungri! They all look at me waiting for my response when out of nowhere Dara suddenly spoke.

“What’s wrong with giving gifts??” Dara said innocently pulling her hand away from Bom.

Wow..I am so proud of my noona. No one can beat her in the naïve department, she’s on top!

Dense Dara.

Really, really dense Dara.               

Didn’t she understand my note??

I heaved a sigh.

“I have a gift for the three of you too it’s just that, I saw noona the other day that’s why I was able to give her gift first,” I finally said.

I mentally calculated how much I am going to spend for another three damn bracelets. My brain screamed NO EFFIN way after calculating it.

Great!

Just great!

Now I have to spend that amount of money for three more bracelets.

But then my ever so genius brain thought of a good idea.

.

.

.

.

Maybe a cheaper one will be good enough for them?

I mentally calculated again how much I can save for the inexpensive ones. Math and I was never in good terms. Never…ever… I just hate numbers or anything that has these signs + - / x =. I’d rather study Chinese than do Math. But today, I badly needed what I learned in grade school.

Booyah!

That’s right; I am going to buy the cheaper ones that look almost as expensive as the one I gave Dara.

I mentally patted my back for the brainy idea.

You really are not The G-dragon for nothing.

I commended myself.

“The stingy Kwon Ji Yong?? The great stingy Kwon Ji Yong?? I can’t believe this….” Seungri exclaimed in utter disbelief.

When I felt everything was going my way, here comes my favorite maknae ruining everything! I don’t care if panda’s are endangered species. I just want to kill one.

Can I kill a panda? Can I?

“Yeah…that’s so not G-dragon….” Yongbae seconded.

What?? Even you Yongbae? Am I that stingy?Is it bad to only use money on productive things? On things that you really needed? Is it bad to save money for the future?

“Close to impossible…” says TOP.

What the….

“Yah… can’t you remember the gifts I gave you huh…” I was pissed. So pissed! I want to take back everything that I gave them NOW!

They all looked at me and shook their heads all at the same time.

“The last one w
