Lexi's outfit for this chapter:

The following week was no different from the previous week. There was this appearance in a club with all of the 2NE1 members, Jay was there too. It was so alive that the energy drink I drank earlier was just enough to keep me up until I get into the van to get me and the members go. We were also invited in a fashion show which made my jaw hurt from smiling to every photo-op there is. Tomorrow's a free day, but tonight I have to work late for a short interview with MTV. Yes, I have a tight sched and yes I miss the Mo-hawked guy. Good thing, smartphones were invented and we could sneak a Skype conversation during breaks to see each other. He would always answer me with a smile but it's evident that he too longs for my presence.
 

The short interview took us more than two hours to wrap up; it was close to midnight when it was finished. I was tired but I had to put my game face on until we're done. After the interview, Reca-unnie led me to the backdoor exit to get into the van to go home. I was almost dragging my feet to the exit when I saw a sleek black car with heavy dark window tint pulled over just outside the glass doors.
 

"Alright, here's a cap and some sunnies..." Reca-unnie said as she handed me a black cap and a huge aviator sunglasses.
 

"What are these for?" I asked with an arched eyebrow.

 

"Put those on. They're for your next schedule..." Reca-unnie winked at me and opened the glass door for me.

 

"What? I thought we're done for the day?" I asked a bit annoyed and obviously confused.

 

"We are, but you're not..." Reca-unnie smiled. "Your next schedule is waiting for you in that black Benz. So stop asking, put those on and enjoy..." She continued and slapped my towards the car.
 

"Aw!" I whined but I did what I was told and put on the cap and sunnies even though it's in the middle of the night. Reca-unnie was watching me as I approached the black car rather slowly. Just then, the driver's window slightly rolled down, up to the driver's eyes and revealed the eyes that I've been longing to see. I couldn't help but gape in disbelief.

 

"Make it quick and get inside!" Bae said. I couldn't see his entire face because of the dark and heavy window tint but I know that he's smiling. I smiled excitedly and hurriedly went to the front passenger's seat.

 

"Hey..." He greeted me with a sweet smile as soon as I got in the car. He then leaned closer and gave me a peck on my lips which made me blush furiously.

 

"Hey yourself..." I managed to say with a huge grin.

 

Bae chuckled. "Ready to go?" He asked, making me nod in response.

 

"Where are we going?" I asked excitedly.

 

"We're going to have a dinner date..." Bae smiled and drove off the driveway.

 

Youngbae didn't exactly say where we're going to have dinner but the road is still familiar. I could really feel his enthusiasm about this "dinner date" and I just have to keep up with him even though I know how tired I am already. While driving, he's softly singing "Wedding Dress" where in this dream or realm or whatever Jiyong sang the song with Bae as the composer.
 

"I love that song..." I said in almost a whisper.

 

"Thank you ma'am!" Bae chirped with his cute eye-smile.

 

"You know in my real world, it's you who sang that song and it got so popular around the world. I guess many people related to it..." I babbled, but Youngbae's smile faded when I said that; as if I've offended him. His lips were pressed almost into a straight line. "Bae what's wrong?"

 

"Please don't say that you're still in a dream... If you say that, it would be as if everything's not real. I don't want to think this happiness of mine isn't real..." He said quite worriedly. He gave out a heavy sigh and I felt like cutting my tongue out, but then I also wanted to hug him.

 

"I'm sorry... I-I didn't mean to offend you or something..." I said quietly and stuttering while knotting my fingers together on my lap.

 

He then turned to me; he tried to smile and gave me a curt nod. "I'm not mad..." Bae said with a smile but sadness is still evident in his eyes. "We're here..." He said. I didn't even noticed that the car already stopped.

 

"Wait for me okay?" Bae smiled and I nodded in response. He then started to unbuckle his seat belt and went out of the car. He got something from the back compartment and went to my side of the car and opened the door for me with a smile. This time his smile is genuine with a hint of excitement. He took my hand and helped me get out of the car, and that's when I noticed that we're under some bridge with a beautiful view of the Han River and Seoul skyline. I was truly in awe with the view. It was somewhat secluded, not much people go here. "Ji and I usually go here to skate with some friends. Nice isn't it?"

 

"It's beautiful Bae..." I said in awe. "But where are we going to eat?" I asked with creased eyebrows.

 

Youngbae chuckled. "Let's go..." He said as he dragged my hand that he was still holding. We stopped at a bench where he told me to sit as he rummaged a what looks like a thermal bag. He took out several covered plastic ware sets with still hot dishes in it, spoons, chopsticks, bottled water and a thermos. I smiled at every item he was taking out of the bag.

 

"You made all these?" I asked with a smile.

 

"Yes ma'am..." Bae smiled and pinched my nose. "I cooked all these to be exact. Well except for the kimchi, because it's from the market."

 

I chuckled at his cuteness. But my mouth started to water from the dishes that was laid down right before my eyes.

 

"Yah, what are you waiting for? Eat up before it gets cold..." Bae said. I then took a pair of chopstick and started to eat.
 

"Woah, it's really good!" I said as I chewed a piece of pork cutlet. "Did you really cook all these?" I asked with an arched eyebrow, because it was perfectly cooked.
 

"Well I asked a little help from my dorm ahjumma..." Bae started. "But she was just guiding me; I did all the cooking, honest!" Bae defended with a raised right hand.

 

"Arasso, I believe you. The carrots aren't evenly cut though..." I teased.

 

"But it's good right?"

 

"It's perfect Bae, thank you..." I said. I leaned closer to him to kiss him on a cheek as a reward. But he turned his face towards me, making my lips land on his. I instantly blushed with that.

 

"Oh, noona you can't just steal a kiss like that..."  Bae acted as if he was an innocent and shy girl.

 

"Yah!" I exclaimed and hit his arm playfully. But I couldn't help but laugh at his playfulness. Yes I was sure tired and I'm in a fairy tale but I loved every single part of this moment.
 

The next morning, I woke up just in time for breakfast. I found CL munching on her cereals, Bom-unnie having some toasts with her iPad in hand.

 

"Heeey, how was your date last night, or midnight rather?" CL said with almost a teasing tone.

 

I bunched my eyebrows. "How did you know I was out?"

 

"Of course I gotta know everything..." CL smiled at me cheekily.

 

"Eat your cereals young lady..." I smiled muttering before rolling my eyes off.

 

"Hey, good morning ahjumma..." Bom-unnie greeted.

 

"Good morning ahjumma!" I greeted her back.

 

"Someone woke up at the right side of the bed..." Dara-unnie sang as she joined us together with Minji.

 

"Unnie, did your date went well?" Minji chirped with a cute smile.

 

"So all of you knew?" I asked as I poured a chocolate milk on my Care Bear mug.

 

"Actually..." CL started. "Most of the people and our fans knew that you were out last night..." CL continued then bit her lip.

 

My eyebrows bunched in curiosity. "How come?" I asked. Bom-unnie then almost hesitantly handed me her iPad. I too almost heaitantly took it from her. Okay now I sense that I'm in trouble again...
