Author’s POV…

No one had been able to get ahold of Jiyong for that entire day, until he finally showed up at the YG building looking as if he had been run over by a car.

“Hyung.” Seungri mentioned in surprise seeing him walk into the studio before plopping down on the couch. Everyone looked to each and then back to the missing man.

“Ji, where have you been? We’ve been calling you.” Top pointed out slightly on edge looking at his overly exhausted friend.

“Hey,  Ji, are you ok?” Youngbae asked worried taking a seat next to Jiyong, placing a hand on his shoulder only to have his hand slapped away.

“Let’s get this recording finished with, I have places to be.” He seethed standing up before walking into the booth.

“What the heck is going on?” Teddy asked as the guys all shrugged. Something was seriously off, not only was Jiyong not Jiyong, but he didn’t even seem to want anything to do with the recording at all, that surprised everyone more than anything. After hours of watching Jiyong at recording, Teddy called for a break while Jiyong walked out in huff causing everyone to watch in interest.

“Ji, did something happen? You’re not yourself.” Teddy pointed out worried as Jiyong ignored him walking over to the couch before plopping down.

“Does Hoku-ah know you’re here? She’s been so worried about you.” Daesung mentioned causing something to flip in Jiyong. He stood up quickly and left the room without a word after that.

“Where are the girls?” Top asked the guys pulling out his phone.

“Hoku-ah is with YG for a meeting, the others are working somewhere in the building.” Youngbae explained while TOP texted a heads up to Hoku.

“Something is up.” Top whispered worried while the others nodded.

“You think something happened?” Seungri asked while they nodded.

“But what is the question.” Daesung whispered.

Hoku’s POV…

I had been more exhausted than ever lately, since I hadn’t got in touch with Jiyong and he hasn’t contacted me all day. Honestly I was worried more than angry with him, it was so hard to pay attention in my meeting with YG before my phone vibrated. I bowed my head in apology to YG who nodded, gesturing for me to attend to my phone. I pulled it out of my purse before seeing it was a text from TOP oppa, I quickly opened it.

Jiyong’s here, but something is up? Did you get in touch with him?

I looked up to YG who was patiently waiting.

“Sorry sir, Top oppa asking if I wanted to join him for lunch.” I lied sending my reply back quickly.

No, I haven’t been able to get ahold of him. Is he ok?

“Alright, so are all the activities scheduled and planned?” YG asked as I pulled open my binder nodding.

“We’ll land on Wednesday morning, the guys have a photo shoot with Chrome Hearts Wednesday. They have rehearsals for the concert on Thursday at the Honda Center, Friday will be the fan meeting at the LA Convention Center at 4pm, we have reserved the West Hall B for the meeting.” I explained watching as he nodded.

“What are they to be doing at the fan meet?” he asked obviously testing me to make sure I was prepared.

“We’ll start off with the guys singing ‘Haru Haru’, most VIPS state side love that song. We’re doing a question and answer segment that the guys can interact with fans there. We’ll do raffle prizes which are autographed albums, shirts, memorabilia, and photos. Lastly we’ll end with Big Bang meeting the fans.” I explained before he sat back and smiled.

“I am so happy I hired you, you work fast.” He praised causing me to chuckle embarrassed.

“This is like a dream job for me sir, It’s my pleasure.” I answered before he nodded.

“What about the shows you chose?” He then asked as I flipped through a few pages.

“Saturday night is the concert, so they’ll be doing dress rehearsal during the day. Sunday they are booked on the Ellen Show along with Danny in LA. We’ll fly out to New York Monday afternoon.” I explained before he nodded. Finally my meeting with YG had ended, I basically dashed out of his office already dialing for the number I was dying to call, getting the answering machine.

“What is up with his phone?” I whispered confused standing in the elevator dialing for Top oppa.

“Oppa.” I called out into the phone.

“Oh Hoku-ah.” He spoke a bit hesitantly.

“Where is he? I can’t get through to his phone.” I spoke nervously.

“We’re in the rehearsal room.” He said as I jumped out at the next floor, hanging up the phone. I ran down the hall, bumping into 2NE1.

“Unnie!” Minzy whined causing me to smile.

“Hey girls.” I said hugging each of them before they looked to me and then down the hall.

“Are you looking for Jiyong Oppa too?” CL asked as I nodded. We were all then heading down the hall to Big Bang’s rehearsal studio. I almost broke the door down with how fast I pushed it open. The guys all looked over to us as we stepped in, my eyes scanning the room to see Jiyong lying on one of the side benches, knees up, arm covering his face.

“Jiyongie.” I whispered quickly walking over to him. I reached my hand out to touch him only to receive a whack, startling me.

“Hyung.” Seungri whined as I laughed nervously before brushing it off.

“Oppa, where have you been? I’ve been calling you non-stop.” I whined keeping a smile on my face, no matter how much my heart was hurting.

“Why does it matter?” He muttered causing my eyes to shoot open.

“What?” I asked confused before he sighed, sitting up, turning his sunglasses covered eyes towards me.

“Has anyone told you how clingy you are?” He spat sounding annoyed causing me to take a step back in sadness.

“Ji, that’s uncalled for.” Top oppa snapped as I smiled, taking a deep breath.

“I was just worried about you.” I pointed out smiling before I saw Jiyong massaged his temples.

‘Well it’s annoying, having someone constantly nagging your phone.” He whined while I swallowed deeply.

“Ya! Jiyong! Stop!” Bom’s voice snapped angrily. I tried to hold the tears in, something was wrong.

“Jiyong, did I do something?” I whispered confused as to why he was talking to me this way. He just chuckled standing up before stretching.

“I’m tired of being tied down to one girl, it’s too exhausting.” And he said it, it was like a slap to my face.

“What are you trying to say?” I whispered hesitantly before his head whipped around to me, taking a step closer so that I could feel his breath blow across my face.

“I’m G-Dragon, I can’t be tied down to one woman, especially someone like you, I’m basically your boss now that you work here. You’re always calling me when I’m not around, it’s annoying, so I turned my phone off. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m tired of this.” He hissed into my face before gesturing between the both of us. My heart crumbled at the last 4 words, piece by piece I was slowly losing the battle with myself, finally letting the tears fall.

“YA!” The members all shouted from behind me as I froze just staring at him in disbelief.

“Jiyong, what happened? We were so happy.” I whispered through a shaky voice before he groaned.

“WHAT DON’T YOU GET?! I’M TIRED OF YOU!” He shouted into my face causing me to flinch.

“JI!” Youngbae snapped walking over before punching him into his face. I didn’t move at the sight in front of me, Youngbae was beating him to a pulp and here I was frozen in my spot, watching as my life crumbled around me.

“Unnie.” A voice whispered worried as I looked over to the concerned faces of 2NE1.

“I’m alright, I need to get some air.” I whispered pushing past them before leaving the room quickly. I couldn’t be here anymore.

Author’s POV…

“WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!” Youngbae shouted at the bruised and bloody member now sitting on the bench holding a towel to his bloody nose. Youngbae just thrashed in Daesung and Seungri’s arms.

“Ji, you need to tell us what the hell is going on? You just kicked Hoku to the curb.” Top mentioned overly pissed as Jiyong’s head dropped before he stood up.

"Leave me alone." He whispered soon leaving his speechless members in the rehersal room alone.

"What the hell is going on?" Top whispered annoyed, kicking the bench in fustration.

"Noona, go look for Hoku-ah." Seungri quickly said worried as the girls nodded and ran out in search of her.

"What are we going to do now?" Daesung whispered dropping onto his knees to the ground.

Jiyong dashed out of the room and to the elevator, pressing a random number, hands shaking uncontrolablly finding himself on the old recording studio floor. He ran to the first door, coincidentally enough being the room he asked Hoku to him to the awards. He shut the door tightly, locking it before collapsing to the ground in the middle of the room, in over flowing tears.

“What have I done?” he whispered burying his face into his towel, heartbroken, defenseless, embarrassed and more than anything,  sick to his stomach. All because of his dumb mistakes, he had to hurt the one he loved to save her.
