It was early, the sun just barely reaching over the horizon as Jiyong lay prone on his bed. Maybe it was the fact that he had been up for the whole night, but he could feel right in that moment that today would be absolutely dreadful. Being the son of a multi-billionaire sounded like fun, right?

Wrong. It was more like torture, Jiyong thought bitterly as he made his way around his apartment. Ever since his father's business had taken off, Jiyong had heard nothing but his father’s own paranoia. 'Stay indoors, Jiyong.' 'Be careful, Jiyong, they only want to be your friends because of your money.' 'Don't trust strangers, Jiyong, they are only looking out for themselves.'

A rather loud 'beep' echoed through the empty apartment, and Jiyong found himself practically running to his computer. It had been a few weeks since his father’s constant paranoia had rendered him completely shut off from real outside world connection, so in an act of desperation, Jiyong had found himself joining an online dating site.

Despite the early hour, Jiyong could only hope that T.O.P, the guy he had met two weeks previously, was actually messaging him and not some weird creep. A smile tugged at his delicate lips as he opened up the chat window, finding a message from the only person he wanted to talk to right now.

                T.O.P : I know it's really early and you're probably still asleep, but message me back when you get this.

                G.Dragon : Haha, No, I'm awake. What's up?

                T.O.P : Why are you up so early? O-O

                G.Dragon : The real question is why are you? (I couldn't sleep last night)

                T.O.P : Touché. (Neither could I.)

                G.Dragon : So what's up?

                T.O.P : Oh... Well...

                G.Dragon : ... well?

                T.O.P : I was thinking.. and...

                G.Dragon : Yeah?

                T.O.P : I want to meet you... like, face to face.

                G.Dragon : That... would be really awesome.

                T.O.P : How about this weekend?

                G.Dragon : That soon? O.O

                T.O.P : If you want to? We don't have to...

                G.Dragon : No, no I really want to... This weekend then?

                T.O.P : How about we meet at the movie theaters?

                G.Dragon : That sounds like a plan... how will I know how to find you though?

                T.O.P : Uhm, I have blue hair?

                G.Dragon : Haha, that is awesome... So movie theaters, look for the guy with the blue hair... what time?

                T.O.P : Noon?

                G.Dragon : Noon it is :)

                T.O.P : See you then, GD

                G.Dragon : See you then, TOP :)

And just like that, it was done. That was it. That was all it took. Thoughts raced around Jiyong's head as excitement bubbled up in his chest. Flinging himself from his chair, Jiyong grabbed his phone and was dialing before his thoughts really caught up to his actions. "Youngbae!! I need help, please, please, please!!"

Jiyong knew he was lucky, and fortunate enough to have a friend as good as Youngbae. They had practically grown up together, and despite the increase in his net worth when his father had hit it big, Youngbae was still there for him, treating him no different. The second the doorbell rang, Jiyong found himself running to the door, instantly throwing his arms around his friend’s neck, "Omo! You won't believe this!! C'mon c'mon c'mon! I have so much to tell you!!"
