Jiyong’s POV…

It was like my soul had left my body this morning. Everything I was doing, I was doing unconsciously, I didn’t even care how I had dressed for rehearsals this morning, I just wanted to get everything done and over with.

“Hyung, are you ok?” The Maknae asked over causing me to sigh and slip the ear buds of my IPod into my ear, ignoring their ranting about what had happened this morning. Everything that she had said this morning ran through my head over and over, then her familiar scent when I caught her attacked my nose, it was the most frustrating moments of my life ever. Having the one thing you wanted in your arms, but for the wrong reason, then watch her push you off. It was like a stab to the heart. Of course I could understand what I had done was unforgiveable, I had expected that once I told the truth and she saw it, she would come back to me. But I guess, just like I knew she was, she wasn’t like other girls, I would have to work hard to get her back.

We arrived at the Honda Center where we had held our Alive Tour concert last year, waving at the screaming fans that were already waiting for our arrival outside the building. Going through security, we all climbed out of the SUVs and quickly were ushered to the doors into the building.

“I haven’t been here with no one inside before.” Steph mentioned causing everyone to chuckle. We followed security down a few hallways before making it backstage into our dressing room. Our makeup noona’s along with the US team began to set up their things in the dressing room. If no one had mentioned, Selena, Tyra and Eden were still working for the fan club, but they were also now training to be stylists assistants, those that help us get dressed.

“They want you on stage.” One of the noona’s informed letting us leave our bags and other personal belongings before we found our way to the stage area.

“Wow, I thought they were keeping the same floor plan?” Youngbae whispered as the stage came in view finally.

“Oh there you guys are!” A voice announced as we looked over to see the concerts coordinator.

“Hyung.” We all called as he walked over shaking our hands.

“How do you like the new plan?” He asked gesturing out to the stage that was still being put together.

“It’s different from the one YG said we were doing.” Daesung added as I nodded causing Min Ki to chuckle.

“We actually changed our mind a few days ago. Hoku-ssi suggested this idea so that you could connect with more fans either from those in VIP.” He explained as we all looked over surprised.

“Noona did this?” Seungri asked as Min Ki nodded.

“That woman is incredibly creative. She’s working on the lights now with the tech team.” Min Ki explained pointing over as we looked over to see her sitting in the tech box out front.

Hoku’s POV…

“Big Bang’s here.” Someone mentioned into the ear piece I was wearing along with a hands free mic Min Ki asked me to wear. I quickly looked up from the computer I was sitting in front of to see that indeed, they were on stage. Then over to the extra person with them, Min Ki-ssi who belonged to the voice in my ear. Ignoring them I went back to work on the lights program sitting in front of me.

“You really have a nag for this kind of thing.” One of the other techs pointed out causing me to chuckle.

“I just like being creative.” I explained going back to work, slipping one of the earphones connected to the laptop to go through what I had done so far.  The man sitting next to me had explained to me everything and how to work the lights, what switch does what, what lights were available, before long I was already doing a rough draft of the lights for the night of the concert. They had this elaborate system in their computers so that I could set up a model on the computer copying the stage area and lights.

“Hoku-ssi.” A voice called into my ear as I looked up to see Min Ki-ssi gesturing for the mic that I had away from my mouth. I sighed pulling it down before stopping the show on the computer.

“Yes?” I answered happily before Min Ki gave me thumbs up that he heard me.

“The fellows are ready to rehearse, do you want to come and explain to him what we planned?” He asked as I sighed, saving the work I did on the computer before standing.

“Can you check my work please?” I asked over to the man next to me who just nodded and took a seat. I made my way through the floor plan, squeezing between a pair of barriers before walking up the stairs to the extended stage area. Once I made to Min Ki my eyes connected with Jiyong’s, hear racing, hands sweating before I quickly looked away.

“Alright guys, so it’s quite simple.” I started to explain to them what myself and Min Ki-ssi had planned out the other day we were here. We both explained to them where they would be during certain songs, when the pyro technics would go off along with the lights. That’s what I did, making sure they got before I found myself walking back to the tech box.

“Let them know, we’ll run through it from their entrance.” I spoke to Min Ki, watching as the man at the computer I had been working at smiled, giving me a thumbs up on my work before I took a seat.

“You are incredible.” He praised causing me to blush and smile.

“That’s an incredible light show you got there.” He offered as I smiled starting the show. I watched the light show from the tech area while the guys did what we had rehearsed. Over and over again, we did it before it grew late into the night.

“Good Work everyone!” I shouted into the tech box before walking back over to the stage.

“You seem so professional now.” A voice spoke once I took the last step onto stage, I looked over to see Top oppa sitting on the edge of the stage. I smiled at him, watching as he patted the empty spot next to him. Sighing once I walked over, taking a seat before looking over to him.

“How are you doing?” He asked causing me to sigh, of course he was going to ask something along those lines.

“I’m fine oppa, tired but still kicking.” I teased causing him to chuckle.

“You seem like a long time coordinator.” He teased causing me to chuckle and nod.

“It’s surprisingly fun.” I answered tilting my head to look at him.

“How are you and Tyra doing?” I then asked kicking my legs back and forth from the stage.

“We’re ok.” He mentioned as I looked over not convinced.

“Oppa, you can talk to me. I won’t say anything.” I reassured before he sighed looking to me.

“I don’t think we’ll last.” He whispered causing my eyes to shoot open shocked by the news.

“What? Why?” I asked worried as he looked back out to the empty hall.

“There are things that just don’t work between the both of us.” He offered as I put a hand through my free hair before nodding.

“She’s still bugging you about the Bear Bricks?” I asked over hesitantly while he nodded. Those things were seriously like his children, Tyra hated the childish side of men like that, one thing I’ll never understand about her. Especially with her now slowly understanding and being able to speak it too, she must be driving him insane.

“That girl.” I mumbled looking away annoyed before feeling a pair of arms wrap around my neck before a breath on my shoulder.

“Noona.” The voice chanted as I smiled patting the hands on my collarbone.

“Riri.” I chanted back teasingly causing him to pull away and laugh before taking a seat next to me.

“You’re amazing noona.” He praised as I looked over to him confused.

“I am?” I asked before he nodded.

“Hoku-ah was able to plan all of this by herself.” Another voice chanted as I looked over to the other side of Top oppa to see Daesung now sitting there smiling.

“I didn’t do it by myself, Min Ki did most of it, I just gave my opinions.” I answered before they chuckled. It was good being around them again, laughing and smiling that old times. My eyes then trailed away from the laughing child next to me and to the main stage where I noticed Jiyong and Youngbae sitting by themselves talking. Jiyong’s eyes looked up from his lap directly at me. My eyes widened before I quickly looked away, heart racing once again. Damn you heart, stop betraying me.

Jiyong’s POV…

All the guys walked over to where Hyung and Hoku were sitting to be by her. As for me, I stayed back knowing my presence wasn’t welcome there along with Youngbae.

“You think we’ll ever be back to normal?” I asked never moving my eyes from her laughing figure at the other end of the stage.

“Who knows bro, I hope so though.” He mentioned causing me to nod in agreement.

“I don’t know how long I’ll be able to last away from her when she is so close.” I whispered before feeling his hand on my shoulder.

“I have a feeling she still loves you bro, or she would have quit this job long ago.” He mentioned before I hesitantly nodded. I knew she didn’t quit because she didn’t want to disappoint YG who praised her so much through the months he’s known her.

“What am I going to do Bae? I don’t know how much more of this I can take.” I whispered holding my head before Bae wrapped his arm around my shoulders comforting.

“Not sure. Just give it some time, she’ll come around.” He whispered as I sighed looking back up to her to see her already looking at me. I watched as her eyes shot open before she quickly turned away. She was seriously trying to kill me.
