Italicised is Japanese

Bold & Italicised in Korean

Author’s POV…

Steph was scheduled to fly in the day of filming, already being explained the music video to, she was more than prepared. Today was Wednesday, afternoon, and Big Bang, US team plus all their workers were now on their way to Japan for ‘The Big Show’ Concert this weekend. Everyone was excited for this upcoming weekend, including the US team. Never had they thought it the months they had watched Big Bang from afar that they were actually going to witness a Big Bang Concert, in a way no other fan could.

They were all seated and comfy on their booked flight to Japan.

“I don’t care what no one says, you’re not leaving my side.” Jiyong said over seriously to Hoku who was sitting against the window. She just smiled and looked over to him.

“No one knows were dating, so don’t push it.” She threatened causing him to groan.

“I told you I was sorry, your injury tabloid news distracted me.” He whined causing Hoku to laugh and nod.

“You still need to talk to YG.” She mumbled looking out the window as they took off into the sky.

As they landed in Japan, of course the airport was beyond packed. Security met them at the gate entrance, while the pathway to their vans were sectioned off and protected by the city’s police. Hoku hesitantly looked around to the screaming fans for anything out of the sort. Everyone was worried about Hoku since the incident, so naturally the guys also flocked around her, putting them on the line to protect her. Jiyong stood a bit closer to her, secretly keeping his hand on her arm as they were ushered through the airport. Finally they reached the vans set out for them at the front of the airport, Hoku made sure to get all the girls in to the van before she climbed in. They had made it through the airport without any trouble, but now were on their path straight to the dome for their concert rehearsals.

“Did you take your pain pills tonight?” Tyra asked over nagging as Hoku sighed from the front seat.

“Yes mother, for the thousands time.” Hoku whined back causing Tyra to sarcastically laugh and go back to her phone. Hoku quickly pulled out her camera and began taking pictures of the scenery they were driving past. Suddenly she felt her phone vibrate in her bag, setting her camera down on her lap she pulled it out and smiled at the sender. Opening it she read:

No matter what anyone says, you’re not to leave my side or sight while we are here? Understand?

Hoku snorted at the contents of his text before sending her answer.

Are you going to follow me into the girls restroom too?
 

She sent back amused that he was being so protective over her even when there were bigger things to worry about.

If I have to, yes.

Hoku smiled and shook her head before looking to see that they were getting closer to the dome.

“So what are we all supposed to be doing?” Eden asked as Hoku remembered something, pulling out a manila folder from her bag, opening it before passing back the 3 VIP Press badges labeled with YG EMPLOYEE in bold meanwhile holding a photo of them.

“YG said to wear these at all times while we’re at the dome.” Hoku explained while the girls nodded and slipped them on.

“But we don’t know Japanese, what are we supposed to do?” Tyra whined causing Hoku to massaged her head.

“YG wants us to document the rehearsals as much as possible along with anything else. He’s using our footage for the Big Show DVD.” Hoku explained looking at them seriously.

“Mr. Kim speaks Japanese, so he’ll be with you if I’m not.” Hoku added gesturing to Mr. Kim driving who in turn nodded.

“So we need to interview them and stuff?” Selena asked unfazed while Hoku rolled her eyes.

“Interview, randomly take pictures of or with them, but make sure you’re not totally in the way.” Hoku added while the girls nodded adjusting the cameras they were all given for the tasks at hand.

“Is YG really going to use our footage?” Tyra asked as Hoku sighed before turning back towards them.

“Yes, so nothing vulgar.” Hoku scolded causing Mr. Kim to laugh.

Soon enough the vans all pulled up to the back entrance to the dome. Immediately climbing out of the van, Hoku began taking various pictures of the guys climbing out of the van, the dome, and the dancers walking into the building. Hoku was in charge of taking photos of the rehearsals and whatnot, while the 2 others were in charge of partially videotaping when they can.

Hoku’s POV….

Walking into an empty concert hall with the band was insanely crazy. Never in my life had I thought I would be doing this, and here I am, doing exactly that. I pulled my camera out and began taking pictures of everything.

“Cool huh?” A voice suddenly asked causing me to flinch in surprise before looking back.

“Geez, don’t do that.” I whined holding my chest before going back to taking pictures.

“Sorry.” He muttered before walking ahead of me. The stage area was the same as we had always seen on YouTube, the same as all the other Big Show Concerts, huge.

“Wow.” I whispered taking a detour into the stands so that I could get a photo of the entire stage area plus the giant BIG SHOW CONCERT 2012 plastered at the top. She finally made it to the stage, carefully climbing up one of the pairs of stage to take a photo.

“Excuse me?” A voice called out as I looked up from my camera.

“Ah yes?” I asked as the woman ran over.

“You’re not allowed to take photos in here.” She said sternly as I looked at her confused.

“I need to confiscate your camera please.” She gestured pulling it off my neck as I was about to snap.

“She’s our official photographer, sent by YG.” A voice interrupted my train of thought, looking over to see Youngbae looking to the woman seriously.

“Ah sorry, I apologize.” The woman said as I held my badge up to her. She bowed her apologies, handing me back the camera before quickly walking off embarrassed.

“Thanks.” I whispered as Youngbae smiled and nodded.

“Ji looked like he wanted to rip that employee’s neck off.’ He whispered as I looked over to see Jiyong looking at me seriously from his rehearsal spot on stage.

“He’s such a worry wart.” I whispered making sure the camera was alright before Youngbae laughed.

“He’s just worried about anything else happening to you, that’s all.” He mentioned causing me to laugh and nod in understanding.

“I’ve never had someone worry about me this much.” I admitted smiling as he smiled back.

“There is always a first for everything.” He assured putting a hand on my shoulder before he walked off.

Jiyong’s POV….

Watching that worker pester was making my blood boil, I’m sure Bae saw it because before I could move from my place he was already marching over towards the employee.

“Excuse me?” I called out towards one of the workers standing by me. He looked to me before walking over.

“Can I help you Jiyong-ssi?” He asked as I looked to the woman.

“That woman there almost kicked one of our workers out. Can you be sure to let every employee present that we also have 4 women from the states here working.” I explained as the man nodded, bowing before he walked off to do as I suggested. I wasn’t going to let anyone hurt her, or upset her. I could at least do that much.
