Author’s POV…

“It was so nice meeting you Steph.” Hoku said hugging the girl as they waited on the porter to come grab the guys bags.

“If you’re ever in the states in the future, call me up.” Hoku added causing Steph to smile and nod.
“I will definitely try and get up there, we’ll hang out.” Steph retorted back smiling at Hoku.

“Thanks for helping us out while we were here.” Hoku said getting a little teary eye while Steph smiled at her.

“You’re an awesome person, don’t let anyone tell you less alright?” Steph asked as Hoku laughed and nodded.

“Good Luck on your relationship with Jiyong-ssi too.” Steph whispered as Hoku’s eyes shot open in shock.

“You know?” Hoku asked over surprised before Steph laughed and nodded.

“Fighting.” Steph whispered pumping her fists in the air while Hoku laughed and nodded.

“Keep in touch, alright?” Hoku said as the porter walked over with their tickets and ID’s.

“I will.” Steph said stepping away as the guys and girls waved at her from inside the van. Jeju airport wasn’t as dangerous and busy as Incheon so getting to the gate area was a cinch.

“I’m going to miss this place.” Taeyang mentioned looking out the windows of the airport to the landing strip.

“We all are.” Daesung mumbled from under his hat causing Hoku to smile. Hoku stood from her seat next to Jiyong, walked over and took a seat next to Dae.

“You gonna miss her?” Hoku asked putting an arm around his shoulder before lying her head there. He just sighed and sat back.

“Probably.” He admitted causing Hoku to laugh.

“What happens if I never hear or see her again?” Daesung whined causing her to sigh before something struck her memory.

“You’ll see her again.” Hoku mentioned confidently as Daesung looked over slightly hopeful.

“I will?” He asked as she smiled and nodded eagerly.

“Your Music Video, you need a female lead right?” Hoku asked leaning in towards him before his eyes shot open. He gasped quickly turning to her in excitement.

“AHHHHHHHH!” He began cheering as he ripped her out of her seat and into his arms, jumping and laughing. Hoku bit her lip in pain from the known bruise that had formed thanks to her confront with her anti-fans. Everyone looked at the pair in confusion before Daesung finally put her down, noticing her grimace expression.

“Hey, are you alright?” He asked worried as she let go of the breath she had been holding in to the pain.

“Um….yah.” She said as her hand directly when to her side in reflex.

“Wait? You got hurt last night didn’t you?” He softly asked outraged grabbing her hand before she sighed, slowly pulling her arm out of his.

“It’s fine, just a bruise.” She reassured him as he continued to look at her worried.

“Does hyung know?” He asked sitting down next to her while she smiled over at Jiyong’s confused expression.

“No, let’s keep it that way.” Hoku informed as Dae looked at her seriously.

“I think hyung would like to know, plus you can press charges against those girls.” He whined as she sighed, looking to him.

“Dae, please just let me worry about it. I don’t want oppa worrying about me too much, he has enough on his plate as is.” Hoku pleaded while Dae sighed looking to Ji then to her.

“Fine but if it gets worse we need to take you to a hospital immediately.” Dae said making her promise as she nodded.

Flight number 62 to Incheon is boarding now, welcoming all passengers in first class, business and wheelchair passengers.

The stewardess announced as Hoku stood up, pulling her oversized purse onto her shoulder.

“Come on a guy, that’s our flight.” She announced as everyone stood up to follow her.

Jiyong’s POV…

Thankfully on the flight back home I was lucky enough to be seated next to her, so naturally I reached under the blanket between us to hold her hand. I smiled as she looked over shocked before laughing and shaking her head at my gesture. There was something definitely wrong with her, I couldn’t put my finger on it but ever since last night, she had been acting weird. Then to top it all off Daesung was constantly turning in his seat to look at her, and it wasn’t any normal expression, he looked genuinely worried. Why wasn’t she telling me?

“Are you ok?” I asked over once the plane took off. I knew she wasn’t asleep, so naturally she peeked out one of her eyes to look at me.

“Yah, why?” She asked getting comfortable while I watched her intently.

“Is something wrong? You’ve been acting different since last night.” I mentioned before she laughed, a different laugh from what I was used to before looking at me.

“I’m fine.” She reassured, but I knew there was something, sooner or later I would find out.

Hoku’s POV…

Daesung knew already and Jiyong was slowly catching on. What was I going to do? I didn’t want him to have that extra worry on his chest on top of all the promotions going on. Sighing unnoticed I shut my eyes and tried to sleep my way to Incheon.

“Are we going to have to walk through the airport again?” Seungri whined from across me causing me to laugh and pull out my phone.

“We’re doing what we did in Jeju.” I informed as he looked at me relieved.

“Our vans got permission to pull onto the runway.” I added as he smiled before laying his head back. Sure enough, when we pulled up to the gate, our two black vans were parked there already waiting for us. I pulled my bag off the ground still in a bit of pain before Daesung ran over and yanked it out of my hand.

“Let me help you.” He said putting it over his shoulder before I groaned in annoyance to the confused expressions directed at me.

“Thanks Dae.” I whispered through my teeth as I climbed off the plane and to the door where Mr. Kim was waiting. I smiled at him as he bowed smiling.

“Welcome back Ms. Hoku.” He said holding the door to the stairs open as we all climbed down carefully into the slightly chilly air. Fall was approaching faster which meant it was getting a bit colder than usual. I shivered at the brush of air before feeling something drape over my shoulders. I looked down at the black fabric hanging over me and then over to Jiyong who was jacketless climbing into the van behind ours. I smirked over at him before Daesung opened the front door and put my bag in.

“You don’t need to do that oppa.” I mentioned causing him to smile and pat my head.

“We don’t need you being anymore injured than you already are.” He whispered before walking away as I sighed and climbed in. Today’s schedule was extremely busy, the guys were heading straight to YG to rehearse for this weekend’s Big Show Concert in Japan, Tyra, Eden and Selena were asked to follow them to do their usual work, I on the other hand was heading up to YG’s office to retrieve the papers Jiyong had destroyed back in Jeju. Climbing off the elevator onto the top floor, I slowly trotted over, adjusting the top I was wearing before reaching the door. Clearing my throat I hesitantly knocked.

“Come in!” A voice boomed from the other side while I opened the door and stepped into the office see him sitting in usual seat but this time he looked at me with such seriousness, did I do something wrong?
