Author’s POV…

The Big Bang members took a group photo for the press before the American team +2 took a few also. The guys assembled with their dates before helping them up the steps to the stage area where the interview was going to be held. Hoku bowed along with Jiyong as they were the first ones up to Danny of L.A. and A Chinese actress who were the interviewers for the night. Hoku was passed a mic along with Jiyong before the group gather together between the two interviewers, Big Bang on one end with the girls on the other, Jiyong and Hoku standing next to each other.

“Finally we have the talk of the night, Big Bang along with their American Team!” Danny announced as both sides smiled and bowed to the screaming fans.

“Can we have your dates introduce themselves?” The female host asked while Hoku nodded.

“I’m Hoku Fernandez.” She spoke as the crowd screamed along with the hosts who both knew her.

“This is my team, Tyra Salsbury and Eden Ortiz, along with my cousin, Selena Fearing.” Hoku introduced before passing the mic over to Stephanie who translated in Chinese before introducing herself.

“First I want to talk to the team for a bit.” Danny offered as Stephanie passed the mic back over to her.

“Y’all from the states right?” He asked as Hoku laughed and nodded.

“What is it like being able to work for someone as well-known as Big Bang?” He asked as Hoku put the mic up to her lips.

“It’s an indescribable feeling for sure. Being able to work alongside those you have looked up to for a good amount of time, it’s like a dream come true.” She admitted before he nodded.

“How is it for you Hoku-ssi, being newly out in the open about your relationship with G-Dragon? What’s that like?” He then asked while Jiyong weaved his fingers into hers to hold only causing the crowd to go insane again. She chuckled before holding the mic up to her lips again.

“It’s amazing of course.” She answered laughing before looking to Danny.

“Of course it’s beyond anything anyone would expect, I’ve been through a lot while being here for Big Bang and Jiyong, but I have no regrets.” She added before he nodded.
“Are you guys excited for tonight?” the female hosts asked as Hoku nodded.

“None of us could sleep last night, it took the stylists rollers to apply the makeup needed to hide our sleep bags.’ Hoku teased causing everyone to laugh.

“Who’s performance in the team looking forward to the most aside from Big Bang?” Danny then asked as Hoku translated to the girls.

“I’m a SHINee fan.” Hoku admitted while they nodded before she handed the mic over to Tyra and Eden.

“Exo.” They both said before handing the mic to Selena who shook her hand and handed it to Stephanie.

“I’m a Block-B fan.” She answered before they nodded.

“Now onto Big Bang.” Danny mentioned smiling at his long time friends.

“I haven’t seen you guys since the tour in the states, how is your album progress coming along?” Danny asked as Jiyong was the one to speak up.

“We’ve been working closely with the American Team for our English album releasing in a few months. It’ll be amazing for sure, more than what everyone’s expects.” Jiyong added while the hosts nodded.

“What kind of performance can we expect tonight?” The female host asked as Taeyang took the mic.

“We tweaked out a few things, tried out new things, it’ll be fresh and amazing. Fantastic Baby.” Taeyang said causing the girls to laugh.

“You won’t be disappointed.” TOP added while the hosts nodded.

“Alright, thank you guys for stopping to chat with us, but Ms. Arisa has been waiting for a while.” Danny said as both groups about froze on stage. Hoku’s eyes hesitantly darted over to the photo area where the flashes were going off to see the same woman posing there in a disgusting looking dress with that same evil smile plastered across her face.

‘Trang.” Hoku hissed through her teeth before the boys quickly escorted the girls into the building and away from the onslaught waiting for both sides.
