"Where are you spending Chuseok?" Bom asked, while packing her things.

Dara stretched on Bom's bed then sat-up.

Clutching a pillow, she yawned. "At home. I'm leaving after lunch."

"Good." Bom zipped her suitcase. "At least I won't worry about you anymore."

Hearing what she said, Dara let's out a laugh. "Why should you?"

"Most holidays you always tend to stay at our dorm alone. I really feel sad for you."

"Stop being emotional, Bommie-ah." She got up from the bed and gave her a back hug. "But thanks."

"Yah!" Bom wriggled free.

When she released her, her best friend wheeled her suitcase out of the room while she followed.

"I'll see you in a couple of days." Bom waved, heading towards the door.  "And don’t forget to bring the present I prepared for your family, arasseo?"

"Yes, boss!" Dara saluted.

++++++++++

"Nuna,"

"Omo," Dara jumped from her seat.

She ran and threw herself at her brother who just entered their apartment. "Gaedoongie-ah! I miss you!"

"Aigoo, nuna." Sanghyun chuckled, trying to free himself.

"Where are they?" He asked looking around their living room.

"They're in the kitchen." She said, leading him towards the kitchen. "I'm so happy that we're all complete."

He pulled her back. "Nuna."

She turned around and looked at him questioningly. "Wae Sanghyun-ah?"

Holding her shoulders, he led her to sit on the couch.

She looked up at her younger brother, puzzled. "Is there something wrong?"

He sat down at the edge of the coffee table and leveled himself to her. "How are you doing now, nuna?"

She can't help but break into a smile when she saw the concerned look on his brother's face.

"Aigoo," She reached to pat his back. "Uri gaedoongie is now a grown man."

He sighed. "Please answer the question nuna."

Dara huffed. "So demanding."

"Nuna!"

"Alright already." She said with a smile. "I'm fine. I'm doing great and I feel fabulous."

Sanghyun clasped his hands together and looked up at the ceiling. "Thank you."

He then stood up and pulled her up. "Let's go, nuna. I'm hungry."

Dara stared at him in disbelief.

"Still hasn't change." She shook her head and followed.


"Gaedoongie-ah, let's take a confirmation picture later so I can upload it in my Me2day."

"No!"

"Please."

"No!"

"I promise I'll stop calling you Gaedoongie on national TV."

"It's too late for that nuna."

"Kyah!"

++++++++++

"Whoa!" Jaewook exclaimed.

Dara came into the dancing studio handing out tteok presents for everyone.

"Sorry for the late Chuseok present." She said, smiling. "You know how busy we are nowadays."

"Thanks nuna," Youngdeuk smiled, receiving the gift with two hands.

"Where's Dony?"

His twin suddenly appeared beside her. "I have one too?"

Dara laughs.

"Of course, silly." She said, handing him a box of tteok.

Youngdon excitedly held out his hands.

"Kamsahamnida." He bowed politely after receiving.

"Oh, you also have a pres-" Youngdeuk was quick to seal his mouth with his hand.

"Ah nuna, halmoni and haraboji sent a gift for you too. It's in the cafeteria." He said. "I'll give it to you later after practice."

"Jincha?" She beamed.

Then she showed him another box which is bigger than what they have. "This is for them. But..."

"Don't worry, I can go and deliver that to them." He offered, as he released his twin.

"Why thank you, Deuk-ah."

"Aishhh...” Youngdon glared at him.

++++++++++

After their practice the girls decided to meet at the cafeteria for a quick snack.

"Okay," Dara said while scanning her cellphone. "I'll just go there after I meet up with Youngbae."

"Make it fast, Santokki." Bom said as they headed out.

++++++++++

Dara slowly pushed the door of the vocal training room.

She heard the sound coming from the room stopped.

"Nuna," Youngbae smiled and waved at her.

He is sitting in front of the keyboard rubbing his hands together. "You're just in time."

Dara held up her hand showing him a paper bag. "This is my late Chuseok gift for you."

She was about to put it on the bench when she noticed a red paper bag sitting there.

"That's my late Chuseok gift for you." Youngbae said with a grin.

She straightened herself, hands clasped together at her navel and bowed. "Kamsahamnida, Dong Youngbae-sshi."

"Nuna." He chuckled and shook his head.

Dara went to his side and pulled a chair to sit on. "What are you playing?"

"You're My." He gently ran his fingers across the piano keys.

"I'm your what?" She teased, glancing at him.

He was taken aback with her question but manages to smile. "You're my special... Dara."

Dara grimaced. "I told you acting sweet isn't your thing."

"Are you sure?" The corners of his lips curved up into a cunning smile.

"A hundred percent."

"If you say so." He started playing the piano while humming.

Dara closed her eyes as she listens to the soothing melody.

"Since some time ago
I've been call you first, more and more
I already call you baby at the places you aren't at
It's quite funny to me, too

You're my chocolate
My sweetest chocolate
I really wanna have you
You, who is so sweet,
I wanna have you
Wanna have you

So that you'll be able to lean on me
So that you can feel a nice happiness
I'll give you my everything

You're my ice cream
My sweetest ice cream
I really wanna have you
You, who is so sweet,
I wanna have you
Wanna have you

The one who gave me the gift of love, that's you
The one person who gave me that dazzling love
That's what you are

To you, who is looking at me
I'll sing a song just for you

You're my candy
Lollipop candy
I really wanna kiss you
I really wanna love you"

When the music ended, Dara took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.
She turned to her side and only to find Youngbae staring at her.
Something in the way he looks at her made the hair on the back of her neck stood up.

It was that familiar gaze that she saw years ago.
The time when he revealed his true feelings for her.

She was caught off guard when he suddenly leaned closer to her face.
Feeling her heart beat faster with every inch that closed between them, her breathing became more rapid and shallow.
She clenched her hands in her lap as she squeezed her eyes shut.

Waiting for the worst, she chanted some prayers inside her head.

'Please don't, Youngbae.' She thought. 'I trust you.'

She felt the sudden gush of wind across her face.
When she opened her eyes, she saw him coverig his mouth with his hand.

"You should have seen your face nuna." He laughed boisterously.

Dara felt her face heating up in embarrassment. "Yah!"

"You... you... “ She punched him on the shoulder hard. ”You naughty punk!"

"Don't tell me you're disappointed." He teased while blocking himself from her punches.

"Yah!"

Dara's phone suddenly rang.

"Yoboseyo? Yes Bommie. I'm coming. I'll just kill this monkey right here."

"Monkey?" Youngbae and Bom said at the same time.

"Yes, monkey." Then she cuts the line.

She got up and gave him a few hits before turning to leave.

"Aigoo nuna."  He just kept laughing until tears ran down his cheek.

"Aishhh." She glared at him as she headed for the door.

"Nuna!"

"MWOH???!!!"

He smiled brightly at her. "Don't go missing on my concert."

She put her finger to her chin and pretended to think.

"Hmm... Let's see. That depends actually. What's in it for me?"

Youngbae gave her a devious smile.

"Oh nothing special." He replied while playing the melody he composed on the piano. "I just have something that I want you to see."

"What? Your body?" Dara joked. "Gosh Youngbae, I think I've seen it lots of times. Don't you think I've had enough?"

She lets out a giggle.

"Uh nuna, I think you should go and take some rest." He looks at her strangely then twirls his forefinger by his temple. "I think you have this cuckoo in the head."

She glowered at him before opening the door.

"Nuna,"

"WHAT??!!!"

"I'm serious." He smiled and winks at her. "I want you at my concert. All two days."

++++++++++

After 2NE1's performance at Music Bank they decided to eat out.

Dara suggested Yeolbong so that she can keep her promise to her friends Se7en and Hanbyul.

"Omo!" Chaerin sticks her tongue out and fans it.

The others laugh.

"I told you we should order the mild one." Minji said while laughing beside her.

Dara tried the sauce. "I don't think it's-- uhhh."

She quickly grabbed her glass of water.

Bom and Minji were laughing their heads off.

"Gah!" She gasped after drinking a full glass.

"I was told that their dishes here are hot and spicy but I had no idea that it’s this spicy."

She stuck out her tongue to show Bom. "Did I burn my tongue?"

Her best friend just shook her head while chuckling. "No, babo-yah!"

A familiar voice greeted them.

"Youngdeuk-ah," Bom greeted. "Nice uniform."

The latter shyly scratched the back of his head.

"Oppa," Minji said, still giggling. "Do you have anything for our two unnies here who are having troubles eating this spicy dish."

"O," He uttered. "I'll go get something."

After a few minutes, he came back with a carton of juice.

"Here." He opened it and poured some to Dara and Chaerin's empty glasses.

Bom checked the box. "Peach juice?"

Youngdeuk nodded. "Ye nuna. That helps get rid of the spicy taste on your tongue."

After Dara had taken a sip, he placed one hand over her shoulder. "Nuna how was it?"

She narrowed her eyes. "Wow! It's a miracle. My tongue is not burning anymore."

"Mine too!" Chaerin said.

"Hmm... I didn't know that peach juice can be this effective. I only knew about the milk thing." Bom said, reading the contents of the carton.

"I guess I'll be storing some in our dorm." She said.

The girls just rolled their eyes while Youngdeuk laughed.

"I'll go ahead first." He announced. "I have to serve some customers. Just call me or Dony if ever you need anything."

"Thanks, Deuk-ah." Dara said.

When he left, she felt the maknae nudging her.

"Wae?"

"Deukie oppa is really nice to you unnie."

"He is, isn't he?" Bom agreed, darting her eyes at Dara.

She just shrugged her shoulders and continued eating some side dish. "He IS nice. Don't put meaning into it."

Minji shook her head. "Aniyo unnie. He's not like that with me and the unnie dancers. He likes to play tricks on us."

"He does that to me too." She said just to end the conversation.

"Like how?" Chaerin chimed in.

Dara gave her the look.

"What do you mean how? He just tricks me from time to time, that's all." She flared up, causing the leader to be stunned.

Minji and Bom exchanged glances.

++++++++++

Chaerin ran to the door when she heard a knock.

"Dara unnie?" She was surprised to see her.

"Can I come in?"

"Of course." She made way for her to pass.

Dara went straight to her bed and sat down.

She watched her friend knotting her fingers together on her lap while she leaned against the wall beside her bed.

"Sorry for snapping at you earlier at the restaurant, Chaerin-ah."

She smiled at her. "Nah, that's okay unnie. I'm the one who's at fault. I asked a stupid question."

Dara smiled back and patted the space beside her.

She went over and sat down.

"It's not your fault." Dara said to her. "Unnie was just having a stressful day."

She bit her lip. "Is it because of Jiyong oppa?"

Her friend looked away and sighed. "No. We're okay now even if we don't get to talk like we used to."

"Unnie. I..." She paused, thinking if she should continue talking.

"What is it?"

"About the misunderstanding." She finally started. "Jiyong oppa and I are... We... You know..."

Dara laughed. "I know you two are close Chaerin-ah. I don't question that. He absolutely adores you ever since we were trainees."

"So that means..." She stared at her. "You're not mad about the ointment thing?"

"Of course not."

Chaerin breathe a sigh of relief then forced a chuckle. "I thought you were mad at me."

Dara lunged forward and hugged her. "Silly you. How can I be mad with my friend?"

Not very long, the room was filled with shrieks of laughter.

Bom and Minji who were outside the living room looked at each other.

"Are those our members or witches had just invaded our dorm?" Bom asked, and then she shrugged her shoulders while taking a sip of her peach juice.

++++++++++

Taeyang's SOLAR Concert, the first day.


"The girls had just arrived." One of the staff announced.

Youngbae, who just finished saying his prayers, stood up and searched for someone among the people in his dressing room.

"Youngbae-ah!"

"Nuna!" He went over and gave her a quick hug. "I'm so glad you came."

"Ayyy wae?" She pulled away since there are a lot of people inside the room.

She can hear some staff snickering at the corner.

"Youngbae-ah!" Bom and the other members joined them.

"Whoa, thanks for coming girls." He gave them each a hug.

"There are a lot of fans out there." Minji informed him, clapping her hands giddily.

"Break a leg, oppa." Chaerin did a fighting sign.

"Yah!" Dara playfully pushed her aside. "Why are you stealing my 'hwaiting' sign."

They all laughed.

"Youngbae, be ready in fifteen minutes." The concert director called.

"Okay, we'll get to our seats now." Bom said. "Be at your best, Youngbae-ah. I'm watching."

"Arasseo, nuna." He chuckled patting her back.

While the three girls went ahead Dara stayed behind.

She saw Youngbae lowering his head while pressing his hands against his ear.

"Youngbae, are you okay?" She asked with concern.

He looks at her and smiled. "I'm feeling great nuna. Now that you're here, I think I can perform better."

Dara made a face. "Stop with the sweet talk already. Ants are surrounding us, can't you see?"

Youngbae looked around the room and saw the staff sneaking glances at them.

++++++++++

"Are you ready now?" The director asked.

Youngbae was already at the stage preparing for his opening number.

He winced as he pressed his hand against his ear. "I still can't hear very well."

The director looked around worriedly. "Guys, I need help here."

++++++++++

"Wooooowww." Bom stifled a shriek while grabbing onto Dara's arm and shaking her.

"Did you see that? Did you see?" She sat up and pointed towards the stage. "OMO OMO!!"

Dara slaps her arm that was pointing and pulled her back to lean against her seat.

"Bommie." She said in a low voice. "There are fans behind us. Please control yourself."

"But did you see when he held Jihye's waist and did that... that body roll or something behind her." She kept pointing while shrieking. "That's so freaking' y!!!"

Chaerin and Minji glanced to where Bom is sitting and shook their heads in embarrassment.

Sinking deep into her seat, Dara pulled the hood of her jacket over her head making sure that she's completely incognito to the world.

++++++++++

At the dressing room.

The girls congratulated Youngbae on the success of his first day concert.

"I swear. You should have let Dara perform that Prisoner number with you." Bom stated.

There were giggles and chuckles that can be heard inside the dressing room.

"Bommie." Dara nudged her best friend to keep her quiet.

"What? Can't I express my opinion?" She glared looking around.

Bom caught sight of the Crazy dancers whispering in the corner. "No offense, Jihye."

The dancers were startled.

"A-aniyo, Bom unnie." Jihye said. Her face instantly turned red.

Youngbae chuckled. "Why are you scaring them nuna?"

"Who's scaring who?" Bom crossed her arms over her chest. "I just think that your performances with them are way too y."

"But you still love it." Chaerin added.

Bom's face twisted as she tried to control her expression.

"Admit it, unnie." Minji went on, teasingly. "You were spazzing in your seat while watching."

"OMO OMO! KYAH! Did you see him? That was so freaking y!" The maknae imitated her friend.

Roaring laughter filled the room.

"YAH!!!!!  GONG MINJI!" She dashed towards her and started strangling her, but Minji just kept on laughing.

Dara was standing beside Youngbae covering while she giggled uncontrollably.

Once they were done fooling around, Youngbae looks at them mischievously.

"Wait till you see tomorrow's performance." He said, wriggling his eyebrows.

"But that's for eighteen and above, right?" Minji said.

Smiling, he nods his head. "Yup."

The maknae groaned. "Then I can't come."

"Who says so?"

"Eh?"

The other girls looked at him.

"I'm inviting 2NE1 to perform tomorrow as my guest artist."
