Hoku’s POV…

“Ok ladies, we’re all ready for you.” A voice interrupted our memorizing race causing us to look up and see a smiling Hana.

“It is?” Tyra asked suddenly panicked causing Hana to laugh before sighing.

“You girls will do great. Just recite the lines, if you forget, we have line boards out for you to see them.” She explained as I laughed and stood up.

“She’s not panicking about that, believe me.” I whispered the last part as she nodded in understanding.

“Come girls, it’s time.” I said gesturing with my hands for Tyra and Eden to stand as they slowly did before they were glued to my back once again.

We slowly followed Hana over to the white screen again to see that they had added the clubs logo across the back in large silver letters.

“That’s awesome.” I said excitedly stepping on the set before walking over. Still having my camera in my bag, I pulled it out before taking a picture of it then putting it away.

“Let me take your bags.” Hana said reaching out as she took them from us before walking away just as Mr. Cho walked towards us.

“All you need to do is sound professional when you speak. If you forget your lines, they are right there for that purpose.” He explained gesturing to the line cards now being held up by 3 staff members for each of us.

“We understand.” I said respectfully as the man nodded before yanking the girls off my back and to my sides.

“When I say action, wait for the music in the background to finish before you begin your lines.” He informed us as I nodded in understanding. He quickly walked over to the back of the camera before talking to some of the staff.

“Big Bang on in 5!” He shouted as my eyes slightly widen while the girls next to me about collapsed onto my shoulder causing me to quickly grab them shocked.

“Yikes!” I snapped catching them before they collapsed and one of the staff members came over and helped me.

“Are they alright?” Director asked as I laughed nervously before looking up to him.

“I think they just fainted.” I explained apologetically as he sighed clearly annoyed.

“These damn Americans.” He hissed as I sighed understanding what he was saying.

“I’ll do their lines for them.” I interjected as his eyes shot open.

“You will do the entire press release by yourself?” He asked slowly shocked as I sighed looking down to my collapsed friends before nodding.

“Yes.” I answered as he smiled at me before putting a hand on my shoulder.

“That’s very courageous of you.” He pointed out praising as I smiled and bowed my head slightly fixing my glasses.

“Please take these two back to the couches to cool off.” The director spoke as two staff members carried them off before I stood uncomfortably in front of the cameras alone.

“Just be yourself, read the lines like you would if you were talking directly to those VIPs in the states, ok?” The director tried to explain with the little English he possessed causing me to sigh deeply before nodding.

“Big Bang will then join you after it says ‘so Welcome to the Official Fan Club for the USA VIPs’.” He explained as I blushed, before clearing my throat and nodding embarrassed.

“Jiyong-ssi will be the last to speak so when he finishes, join the guys to say farewell to the fans.” He added as I nodded in understanding suddenly feeling the stares I was receiving from the left side. I stood there stiff for a moment, feeling an intense aura near but I did not have the courage to turn my head and look over, instead I shut my eyes concentrating to ignore the nagging feeling in my stomach.

“You ready?” A voice suddenly asked as I opened my eyes quickly to see Hana standing just beyond the cameras.

“Ah yes, sorry.” I answered sheepishly fixing my outfit before nodding to the camera man.

“Quiet on set! Take one!” He shouted as I controlled my emotions and took action.

“Action!” The director shouted before I heard Big Bang’s recent release ‘Fantastic Baby’ begin to play causing me to smile. I soon heard it fade into the background causing me to smile. I quickly waved at the camera before bowing my head.

“Greetings everyone! If you don’t know who I am, then you should know by now! I’m Hoku Fernandez, the Head Admin to the newly established and official Fan Club for you US VIPs!” I said enthusiastically before clapping as the card said to do.

“Thank you for all your hard work and support in my project better known as ‘BIG BANG’s USA VIPs’ DVD that we sent out last Christmas. And thanks to you, I am now here in Seoul, Korea to formally release the Fan Club.” I said excitedly gesturing to everything around me.

“To further establish the club and create some excitement in the net, myself and my team will be here in Korea for the next 3 + months to follow our lovely boys around on their activities, both group and solo, giving you a backstage insight on what goes on behind the camera.” I cheered before smiling and nodding.

“More info will be released after this press release is showcased so please keep your eyes and ears open to our page. Keep an eye on the countdown located on the main page of the fan page, when the countdown gets to zero, JOIN!!” I shouted the last part laughing before smiling.

“It’ll take tons of work and endless sweat and tears to get this club up to gear, but with your support and admiration, we’ll be able to enjoy the same events and fan specialties that Asian fans have. Welcome to the USA VIPs Official Fan Club!” I shouted before hearing laughing and a group of people crowding around me. Two hands dropped onto my shoulders, and it was taking everything in me to keep my legs standing and my breathing steady, smelling the intoxicating aroma coming off of them.

“Yes! You need to come and join the fan club. No if ands or buts!” Daesung’s obvious voice said in a joking way causing me to smile.

“We will also do our hardest to be sure to keep you fans happy and up to beat with our latest news.” Seungri said excitedly from somewhere around me.

“Not only will you be able to enjoy behind the scene photos, but also interviews recorded by the fan clubs own team, here with us now.” Taeyang said before gripping my shoulder as I smiled and nodded.

“Chat rooms under the pages tinychat surname will also be held on the page for us to communicate to you. So join and keep an eye out for that.” TOP’s deep voice said as I continued to stare at the camera.

“USA VIPs! We are so proud and honored that so many of you have urged the fact in wanting a fan club. Be sure to give your thanks to this awesome team that made it happen. Thank you for your endless support through the years and we look forward to seeing you all soon.” GD’s voice said from the opposite side of me as my breathing grew jagged. I noted down that GD was the last to speak and looked over to the line cards with my last line.

“You heard them VIPs.” I said smiling before saying the last part together with them.

“JOIN BIG BANG! JOIN USA VIP’S!” We all said together with our hands out towards the camera smiling.

“Cut! Perfect!” The director shouted as I put my hand down smiling and slightly out of breath.

“That was amazing.” A voice said as I hesitantly looked over to see Taeyang smiling at me. I just smiled and bowed my head, unsure as how I’m supposed to address him.

“She can’t speak Korean right?” Seungri asked over to one of the guys before Hana walked over.

“Be nice oppas, they can’t speak Korean.” She informed them before putting an arm around my shoulder.

“Hoku, this is Big Bang.” She said turning me as I was now able to see them in the flesh. My heart was screaming out at me to let go of my fan girl suffocating but I just didn’t have the courage to. I made eye contact with all of them, as my knees grew weak when I stared my bias in his eyes. He was even more breathtaking in person, Leader Kwon Jiyong.

“It’s an honor to finally meet you Big Bang.” I said bowing my head nervously as they smiled.

“Oh, she’s pretty hyung.” Seungri whined as Daesung elbowed him.

“She definitely is.” Youngbae pointed as I blushed looking away before Hana laughed.

“Introduce yourselves to her.” Hana whined as they laughed.

“I’m Taeyang but you can call me Youngbae if you want.” Taeyang was the first to step up to the plate with his hand out. I smiled, bowing my head to him before putting my hand in his.

“I’m Daesung, just call me Dae.” Daesung said next smiling his famous smile as I nodded.

“I’m Seungri, but you can call me Ri.” Seungri said flirtatiously as GD elbowed him annoyed causing me to laugh a bit.

“I’m GD.” GD then said not letting me call him Jiyong I guess?
“I’m TOP.” TOP said doing the same thing as I bowed my head to them before smiling.

“Is she going to call us oppa?” Seungri asked in a whisper causing Hana laughed.

“Why don’t you ask her if you’re so concerned with it?” Taeyang whined over as Seungri laughed.

“Hoku?” Seungri then bravely asked as I looked over.

“Yes?”  I answered as he smiled proudly.

“Are you going to call us oppa? “He bravely said as I blushed before clearing my throat.

“Do you want me to? I mean, I won’t do it if it makes any of you uncomfortable.” I pointed out making sure they understand that I didn’t have to do it.

“No, it’s alright.” Taeyang pointed out as I smiled and nodded.

“But with Seungri-ssi, I’m older than you.” I pointed out in a whisper as his eyes shot open in surprise. TOP and Taeyang broke out laughing at Seungri’s upset face.

“So then you’re noona?” He asked as I laughed and nodded.

“But you can just call me Hoku, I don’t mind.” I insured as he smiled and nodded.

“What’s with the weird name anyways?” I heard GD whisper, myself about to answer in habit.

“Yah! Don’t say that hyung, that’s horrible.” Daesung scolded as I looked to the exchange before my eyes connected with GD’s. I quickly blushed before looking away.

“Hoku? You’re from the states right?” Daesung asked carefully as I nodded confused.

“Why is your name weird then?” TOP came out and asked it as I looked up into his intense stare embarrassed.

“I’m originally from Hawaii. It’s my Hawaiian name.” I pointed out in a whisper as their eyes shot open.

“Really?” Seungri asked shocked as I looked at them all.

“Hawaii?” GD asked slightly shocked as I nodded.

“That was a great first take Hoku-ssi. We’ll go through it a few times more, but before we do that, YG has asked me to also film fun sides with you and each of the members.” The director suddenly explained as my eyes shot open.

“Each member? Alone?” I asked hesitantly as he nodded.

“We’ll just do you two doing poses together, or something of that sort to show their fun side.” He explained as I nodded in understanding.

“I understand.” I said as he smiled.

“Guys, YG’s orders. He wants to see your fun sides with Hoku-ssi here. Anything you wanna do to show your personality with her, then its fine.” The director explained as I listened in.

“Anything?” Seungri asked amused as GD hissed annoyed to him.

“Nothing vulgar Maknae.” GD said before his eyes connected with mine. At the same time looking into his eyes, you could read his child self, while in front of it laid a sophisticated and tired idol. I just calmly smiled at him, as something lit in his eyes before he quickly looked away.

“We’ll start with Daesung-ssi, then Taeyang-ssi, Seungri-ssi, Top-ssi and lastly with Jiyong-ssi.” He explained as the guys nodded, leaving the set before Daesung was left with me.

“We’ll start off with Daesung-ssi, alright?” The director pointed out as I nodded and turned to the already smiling Daesung.

“I apologize if it seems like they are attacking you.” He said apologetically as I smiled and shook my head.

“No need to apologize. Life of an idol is tiresome, and with you guys being Big Bang, I can understand your workload.” I explained as he nodded in shock before clapping his hands once.

“So what do you wanna do?” He asked as I looked up in wonder before he clapped again.

“Would it be alright if I was to give you a piggy back ride?” He asked gesturing to his shoulder as I blushed.

“You want to piggyback me?” I asked surprised as he laughed and nodded.

“Sure, why not.” He pointed out as I laughed flabbergasted.

“Um, I’m not the lightest person.” I pointed out as he looked at me.

“Pfft..you look light to me.” He said circling me as I suddenly felt self-conscious.

“My dad always tells me I have heavy bone mass, compared to my outer appearance.” I explained as his eyes shot open before he laughed.

“It’ll be fine. I’ve been working out lately if you can’t tell.” He said proudly flexing his muscles causing me to snort.

“Ok macho man; let’s see if you can handle it.” I said competitively before we turned to the director.

“Ready!” I called out as he looked back to me before nodding.

“It’ll be about a 30 second clip, so just act friendly.” He explained as we nodded.

“Yah, no funny business!” GD shouted on set as Daesung looked over.

“You know, if you wanna be territorial over her already, then you come out here and do it!” Daesung teased over as I watched a blush cross GD’s face before he turned away.

“That’s what I thought.” Daesung whispered before turning to me smiling.

“Hop on!” He said gesturing to his back as I looked over to the director just as he nodded. I sighed smiling before I hopped on his back causing him to grunt. I just laughed at his expression before wrapping my arms playfully around his neck. The director smiled as Daesung grabbed out my legs before pulling me up higher. I just laughed the entire time as Daesung hopped around and ran with me on his back.

“Cut!” The director finally shouted with us out of breath before I jumped off his back, fixing my shorts.

“That was so cute!” A voice shouted as I looked over to see Tyra and Eden now awaken from their overly dramatic slumber.

“Well it’s about time you guys all woke up!” I snapped annoyed as they sheepishly smiled before bowing to the director.

“You’re friend here did the entire script by herself in one shot.” The director praised me to my friends as their eyes shot open in shock.

“You did? Wow? Even with him close to you?” Tyra said speaking out of turn before pointing over to the group of guys to the side as my eyes shot open.

“Tyra!” I snapped embarrassed as she laughed before smiling apologetically.

“Anyways, these are my friends and also the co-admins to the club, Tyra Salsbury and Eden Ortiz.” I introduced as the girls giggled a bit before looking at the guys and bowing.

“If you ask me, they’re good for nothing if they sleep on the job.” I heard GD whisper teasingly to whoever was listening as I looked over to glare at him. He looked at me confused before I smiled over to Daesung.

“Well now that you girls are here, we’re doing the solo shots with the members. Taeyang-ssi is next, which one of you girls wanna go first?” The director asked causing me to laugh as I walked over and yanked Eden into the limelight.

“She would be more than glad to.” I admitted causing her to blush before Taeyang switched places with Daesung. I walked over to the couch where my bag was sitting and grabbed my camera before walking back over to the set. I made sure to stay out of the way as Taeyang and Eden did a few posts together, which I had to admit was cute. I then turned the camera towards the members standing on the side watching and waiting. When they were done, Seungri walked over to me.

“Noona, do it with me!” He whined as I looked at him confused.

“Do what?” I asked confused as he snickered causing me to look even more confused.

“Yah! Maknae! Get your head out of the gutters!” GD yelled as I got even more confused.

“Oh come on hyung, you can’t tell me you weren’t thinking the same thing when she said that.” Seungri admitted back as GD looked at me seriously before looking to Seungri.

“No funny business.” GD whispered before walking away.

“What was that all about?” I asked Seungri confused as he smirked.

“I think Hyung is getting a little over-protective over you.” He admitted as I blushed.

“What?” I asked unsure of what I heard before he smiled.

“He just wanted to make sure that we hurry.” He lied as I caught my breath, almost forgetting that they didn’t know I spoke Korean.

“I see. “ I quickly answered before Seungri dragged me on set before smiling.

“Do the shoot with me.” He said as I laughed nodding in understanding to his earlier question.

“Hey! Use your camera! You can take funny pictures of me for the shoot.” He offered as I looked down to it around my neck before smiling.

“Ok.” I said as he smiled before jumping up and down.

“Ready?” The director asked as I held my camera before nodding.

“Action!” He shouted as I held the camera up to my face smiling as Seungri made funny poses and faces to the camera. I went around him a few times, changing the way I was holding the camera as he changed his poses.

“Perfect!” The director shouted as I smiled and walked off set to see the clip we just shot.

“You’re a natural behind the camera.” The director praised as I smiled before Hana patted my shoulder.

“TOP-ssi up!” The director shouted as I looked over to Tyra who was standing on the side of the set, biting her nails nervously causing me to smile. I waited for TOP to be on the set before I snuck over and pushed her onto the set.

“Hey!” She shouted back as I laughed before the director walked out to them.

“She’s going to kill you after this, you know that?” Eden mentioned from next to me as I laughed.

“Well, let me collect the moment then.” I whispered holding my camera to take a few pictures of my friend and her ultimate biased now playing rock, paper, scissors. It was adorable but also awkward at the same time for some reason. I watched in interest, putting my camera down into my bag before walking to the set.

“Jiyong-ssi!” The director shouted as I watched GD walk onto set. I was about to look back before someone shoved me onto set causing me to tumble before falling against something hard that caught me.

“You should be more careful.” The voice said as I blushed looking up to the close proximity I now had with GD. I quickly pulled away before bowing my apologies, he just nodded before looking elsewhere. I hissed annoyed looking over to the laughing figures waiting at the side before the director walked over.

“So any ideas?” He asked as I shrugged and looked over to GD who just sighed.

“I got one.” He mentioned walking over to the director before whispering in his ear. I watched in interest as the man’s eyes shot open in shock before he looked to GD.

“Are you sure Jiyong-ssi? That’s not too much?” The director asked as GD shook his head before fixing his appearance.

“If you say so, then ok.” He said as the director walked away and l looked on in confusion.

“Just stand here and face the camera.” GD informed pointing to the spot in front of him as I nodded confused before doing so.

“Whatever you do, don’t look back.” He mentioned when I was now standing in front of him. I was completely tempted to turn around, but at the same time I didn’t have the courage to turn around and face whatever was happening back there.

“Action!” The director shouted just as Fantastic Baby began playing. I looked around confused, before a smile drifted to my lips before my foot began to tap to the beat and my eyes shut slowly. I gasped a few times when I felt something brush me gently across my hip or the sudden breath I would feel on my bare shoulder.

“CUT!” The director shouted as I opened my eyes suddenly to see GD walking away and my friends smirking at me. I quickly ran over interested to the screen to see the clip we just filmed shocked. GD was dancing behind me to Fantastic Baby, closing in every now and then when I would feel him barely touch me, and his face dipped down towards my shoulder on more than one occasion. Besides the butterflies now fluttering through my stomach, with me just standing there smiling with my foot taping the scene looked good.

“We’re done for the day girls.” Hana informed as we looked up shocked.

“Really?” I asked shocked as she smiled and nodded over to me.

“Yup. Let’s get you girls home.” She said gesturing to the door as I walked over to the couch and grabbed my bag. Putting it over my head, I hesitantly looked back to the group before my eyes connected with a pair. I just smiled at him gently before bowing my head and walking to catch up with Hana guys.

Boys POV…

“That was a lot more fun than I was expecting.” Daesung admitted slipping his arms through his sleeves.

“Yah, I like Hoku Noona.” Seungri cheered in addition. Jiyong made eye contact with the girl in question, expecting her to look away or begin fangirling he kept his gaze directed at her. Surprising him all she did was smile and bows her head before walking away. What no screaming? No blush?

“Come on guys, time to go.” Their manager said gesturing for them to follow them as they did so.
