Lexi's outfit for this chappy:

"How come?" I asked, looking at everyone who's on our dining table with my eyebrows bunched up. How did everyone knew that I was out last night? Bom unnie then hesitantly handed me her iPad which I too was reluctant to see what she was trying to show me. As much as I wanted to wish that I didn't made the news again, I did.
 

My lips pursed into a hard line when I saw myself in a paparazzi photo who was going out of a building and riding a "mysterious black Mercedes Benz with heavy dark window tint". Rumor says that I was  dating a "mysterious non-celebrity guy". I'm surprised at myself that I'm not shocked anymore that this private moment made the news. But I am most relieved that the paparazzi didn't followed me where Youngbae and I enjoyed our moment together.
 

"Just let it slide unnie..." CL said with a half smile. I shook my head and sighed.
 

"Yeah, and besides you unnies are already allowed to date..." Minji said.
 

"I'm sorry guys..." I said shamefully, looking down at my Care Bare mug.

 

"Why are you saying sorry hunny?" Bom asked as she my hair; comforting me.

 

"Well because 2NE1 made it to the news again with the courtesy of yours truly..." I replied, still looking down. "It's really embarrassing to drag the whole name of the group with my mess..."
 

"It's just a dating rumor Lexi-unnie, we're young and we're just human who's still capable to date. It's just that the public knows us that's why they give a damn..." CL said as she waved her spoon in the air.
 

"Thanks... I'll try to fix this today..." I said and got up from my seat and went straight to my room.

 

I don't really have a plan in mind on how to fix this but I know I should start somewhere and that somewhere is at the YGE building. To prevent another scandal or whatever, I drove my Mini Cooper to YGE even if it's just a few blocks away from our dorm. I also started to wonder where Youngbae is at this moment. He's supposed to be by my side, but I know he had nothing to do with these scandals, they're all up to me. Besides, Bae has done everything good for me to get me up on my feet, I gotta clean this up for him, for us, this time.
 

I walked confidently to YG sajangnim's office. I was about to knock when I heard familiar voices approaching the door from behind. The door then opened before me, revealing YG-sajangnim and Youngbae.
 

"Hey, here she is..." YG sajangnim said as he waved his hand towards me with Youngbae by his side. They were both smiling and it made me really curious. Bae then looked at me with a genuine smile.
 

"What is going on?" I asked. Seeing them together made my trance a bit messed up.
 

"You're really sneaky young lady..." YG started and pointed a finger at me playfully. "I know why you're here Lexi. But don't worry, Youngbae cleared everything to me. Besides, you're free to date anyone..."
 

I couldn't help but gape at both of them. "So guys I'll go ahead, I have an 8 o'clock meeting... And oh Lexi, like what I've said before to everyone, if you want to announce it publicly, make it a cool and special one. Let's just let this issue slide and it'll die down on its own..." YG sajangnim winked at us, making my jaw drop in surprise. "I'll see you at 10 for our meeting with Jay, alright?" He said before leaving us.

 

"Everything okay?" Youngbae asked me and held my shoulders arms’ length to check me.

 

"I-I'm..." I stuttered and not able to finish my sentence.

 

"Speachless?" Youngbae finished for me. I nodded at him in agreement. My thoughts are all scrambled up. I am so touched that Youngbae, yet again, solved the problem for me. And I am so shocked that YG sajangnim didn't get angry and was just so cool about everything.
 

I gave out a heavy sigh. "But thank you..." I finally said, making Youngbae smile his signature eye smile.
 

"It's my fault though..."

 

"No it's not, it's no one's fault. It's just that we're a public figure that's why..." I tried to smile and took his hand. "But Bae, next time please don't go out and talk about us like this alone. We're in this together okay? We should be talking to sajangnim together, not just you, it's us now..." I said a bit shyly, I know my cheeks are flaring up right now because of my little speech. But it gave an ear splitting smile to Youngbae.
 

"Lexi! You're here!" That's Reca-unnie, calling out and almost ran towards us. "Annyeong Youngbae-sshi!" She greeted Bae before turning to me. "I was looking for you at the dorms but they said that you already left. I was going to prep you for your 10am meeting with sajangnim and Jay Park."
 

"Yeah, I was informed about that too..." I said.

 

"Okay, but I assume you haven't red the story line. Am I right?" Reca-unnie asked.

 

"Ah, yeah, I totally forgot about that. And I left my copy at the dorm. I'm sorry..." I grinned sheepishly at her.

 

"Aiooo, I knew it! No worries, here's my copy. I'll stay with you while reading so that I could explain things when you have questions. So where do you want to read it?" Reca-unnie then handed me a folder.
 

"Do you want to stay in my studio while reading or do you prefer to be alone?" Bae asked.

 

"Is it okay if we could crash in your studio? Wouldn't it be a hassle?" I asked Bae.

 

"No worries. Mi casa es su casa..." Bae said and tried a good accent which he cutely failed to do so which made me laugh heartily.
 

Sitting on a plush leather couch in Youngbae's studio -while Bae's doing his mixing and composing magic on his iMac- I started to open the folder for Jay's music video. The front page was the song lyrics, entitled Girlfriend. Oh... Was all I can say, with an arched eyebrow. I bit my lip and started to read the lyrics. I had to laugh inwardly with the cockiness of the lyrics. It's about wooing a girl and giving everything to please her and to have her. I had to snort a laugh as I read through. But I suddenly heard a click of a camera and when I looked up, Youngbae was smiling at me with his phone on his hands and just took a picture of me who was busy reading.
 

"Yah! Why did you do that for?" I complained.
 

"It's cute..." Bae chuckled as he waved his phone to me, revealing my picture he just took.
 

"Aissshhh..." I hissed and playfully rolled my eyes off him. "Just do your thing there and don't bother me here..." I said but instead he just chuckled more before continuing his work.
 

I tried to ignore him and continue with my own thing. If I'm going to a meeting, I have to be prepared and as a part of the music video I suppose that I should have a say on this. I then proceeded to read the music video story line. Jay sees this girl -which I'll be portraying- at a coffee shop, then there's a club scene where Jay tries to make a move to the girl but she just brushes him off. But he eventually gets her after some breakdancing moves, next is a carnival scene, blah, blah, blah, and ends with a... KISS SCENE?!

 

"WHAT?!" I exclaimed with my eyes wide as big as saucers in disbelief. Making Bae look at me questioningly.

 

"Why? Is there something wrong with the story line?" Reca-unnie asked me.

 

"What's this? A kiss scene?!" I asked, my tone never changing. I wasn't able to see Bae's reaction. "Where's YG Sajangnim? Can I meet him before the meeting? I don't want this. I can't allow this..."

 

"Lexi, calm down. Sajangnim is in a meeting right now remember? Maybe we could raise this over the meeting. Don't get through your emotions..." Reca-unnie said.

 

"Unnie, how could I calm down? I'd be kissing a different guy on national television, well practically to the whole world, when I couldn't even kiss my real boyfriend in public..." I stubbornly explained with a deep frown on my face. When I looked at Bae he was also frowning, but then his face softened when I said the detailed words.

 

"I understand Lexi, believe me, but you have to calm down. This is already plotted before you and Bae got together. You can't just alter a story line just like that. Just be professional about this..." Reca-unnie stated. Somehow she's right, but I couldn't help but frown again about this.

 

"Reca-noona, let me handle this..." Bae said with a little smile on his face. Reca-unnie then sighed and nodded at him before leaving Bae's studio.

 

"Hey..." Youngbae cooed as he sat beside me. With me frowning and pissed, I didn't really want to look at him and see me like this.

 

"Baby..." he cooed again as he pulled my legs to his lap, making me sit on him and wrapped his arms around me. I pretty much looked like a brat kid.

 

"Babe, look at me..." Bae said, with his gentle fingers he touched my chin to make me look at him.

 

"Why the pouty face huh?" Bae said with a playful pout and trying to imitate me, which started to make me chuckle. "That's more I like it..."

 

"It ..." I said with a heavy sigh.

 

"I know... But that's part of your job..." Bae started but I cut him off.

 

"Are you saying you're okay with this?" I frowned.

 

"No, it for me too, believe me. But Reca-noona's right, you have to be professional about this..." Bae said as he looked into my eyes.
 

"But I don't think I could kiss other guys..." I mumbled.
 

Bae rested his forehead on my shoulder and sighed before looking back to me again. "Why don't you just imagine him as me... Just... Just try to imagine that it's me you're kissing and not him."
 

I couldn't help but gape at him with my eyebrows creased. "Just try..."

 

Dong Youngbae, I thought I was the only one who was going insane but now I think you are too...
