@krungy21: 어머 제가 지용이콘서트에있네요 ㅋㅋㅋ 깜짝이야!!! (DARA: Oh my god I’m at Jiyong-ie’s concert ㅋㅋㅋ What a surprise !!!)

He smiles but then too bad the message was posted yesterday. It will be completely stalker-ish of Jiyong if he replies now. She wouldn't have come to the concert, if he wasn't sick. And when she did come to attend and to be a guest, he didn't get the chance to see her. 

JiYong stares at his phone, looking for an excuse to talk to her…but there was none. He sighed and leaned back on his chair. 

Dara was busy being the good noona that she is and is giving all her support to Chaerin. He saw nothing wrong with that. 

But after what Sajangnim told him…

He knows that Dara could only be avoiding him…

"but not tonight…" he thought.

He looks at her reply to Hwangsabu-nim again and his gaze went to his name, "Jiyong-ie…" and he couldn't help but smile.

---------------

Minzy, Chaerin and Bom collapsed on the floor. Music was blasting inside their practice studio. They were done rehearsing for their event that night but for some reason, they didn't stop dancing until they were tired.

Minzy: I love dancing.

Chaerin: As if we don't know that.

[the 3 girls laugh]

Minzy: I miss doing this. I remember dancing nonstop when we were trainees. We just kept on going until we were so tired, we couldn't move the next day. [everyone just stared at the cieling] I miss us.

Bom: I miss us too.

Chaerin: biande… [Minzy and Bom looked at Chaerin] If I didn't have my solo…

Bom: Chaerin, never think that way. You know what your solo did? [Chaerin shook her head at Bom, Minzy reached for the former's hand] It made us stronger, and it made the people anticipate our comeback even more. [Chaerin smiled at the thought.]

Minzy: You know what else? [This time, she turned to Minzy] It also made Dara-unnie a bit more crazier.

[They propped themselves up on their elbows and looked at Dara. She was sweating all over but she was still dancing…exhaustion was apparent in her moves.]

Minzy: Dara-unnie!

Bom: Yah! Sandara Park! [Chaerin eyed Dara carefully then she stood up and stopped the music. Dara stopped, she supported herself on her knees, in the tripod position, and was breathing hard.] Yah! Sandara! What are you doing?

Minzy: Unnie, we still have to perform tonight. You don't have to tire yourself. [Dara couldn't even speak. She looked at the girls then looked back down.]

Chaerin: Is something wrong? [Dara shook her head trying to smile.] Aniyo, unnie, tell us. Is something bothering you? [Dara stood up then smiled at them.]

Dara: Nothing's wrong. Everything is all right. Its been a while since I danced that way.

Minzy: I know. I mean, before you would stop before any of us.

Dara: I've grown stronger than before, Minji-ah. I'll be stronger for our comeback. So, Chaerin, Bommie is right. You made us stronger. [Chaerin looked at her, worried. Dara gave her a small smile.] We should be at the salon. I just have to shower first, will that be all right?

Chaerin: We will go ahead of you, ne? [Dara nodded then got her bag and left the room, the 3 other girls eyeing her suspiciously.]

Minzy: Something is definitely wrong.

Chaerin: Did you check on her twitter?

Bom: Nothing out of the ordinary. She's always been your number 1 fan.

Chaerin: Aniyo, i don't feel so good about this. [Chaerin's phone rings] Its Jjangmae! We have to go!

-----

[flashback: Winter in Dolce Vita, It was late and everyone else was asleep.]

Dara: Everyone has a couple-tee or any other couple-thing, you know.

JiYong: i thought you didn't want anyone to find us out? [she pouted]

Dara: I didn't say we had to wear it together!

JiYong: what's the point then?

Dara: Argh! You don't get it, do you? [He laughed at her, she was clearly getting frustated.] 

JiYong: You're right, I don't.

Dara: Let me put it this way. You said you wanted us to be a couple.

JiYong: Naturally! You know I don't go around beating around the b…[Dara covered his mouth and he made a move to bite it, but Dara had fast reflexes.] I was going to say bush, beating around the bush, not bull! [Dara glared at him, he smirked at her.] You were saying?

Dara: Ji, you know why we can't do that, ne? [JiYong nodded] So we're not going to label anything but we get to do what couples do without anyone else knowing! Like having the same shirt but not really wearing it together.

JiYong: You think our lovely fans wouldn't notice?

Dara: Do you want me to just back out of this?

JiYong: "This"…hmmm…interesting way of calling our relationship, "this". [Dara looked at him sadly.]

Dara: You know this is all i can give you. Biande, I can't be as strong as Byul…at least not yet. [He made her face him]

JiYong: Dara… stop, i'm sorry. I'm just frustrated knowing that everyone else is telling the whole world that you are their ideal girl when you're mine!

Dara: you think, you're the one with problems? How do you think do I feel when everyone lusts after you because of a simple grin or a simple smirk? You think, I don't want to tell them, "Back off, he's mine!"? 

[Jiyong laughed, even rolling on the floor and laughing his y a$$ off. Clearly, very pleased about what he just heard. Dara sighed defeated. She just let him finish and played with the ring on her hand. When he was done, he pulled Dara to him and hugged her to his side]

JiYong: sorry, i just really felt great hearing that. Tell you what, I will agree to us having the same things, "couple-things", not couple tees, but i will choose, araso? No buts! For you, I will break 1 YG family rule. [She looked at him questioningly] No 2 people should own the same thing, you know. Its been a tradition, at least with us boys. [She was about to say something but he covered .] And I don't want to scare you but, this is just the start. I can break rules if i want to… even if i made that rule myself, If I choose to, I will break it and no one, not my parents, not hyun suk-hyung, not the big bang members, can make me change my mind. I do what I want and I decide for myself, and I choose you. [then he kissed her, giving her no chance to say anything else. And just when he thought she wouldn't kiss him back, he felt soft hands on his nape. After getting over the shock over what he just declared, Dara forgot everything else and succumbed to that feeling she had been repressing. She pulled him to her and kissed him senseless.]

-----------------------------------------------------------end of flashback--------------------------------------------------------------

Bom: Dara? [Dara shook away the memory then got the red leather jacket and started to put it on.] Everything all right? [She nodded and smiled at Bom. Bom went closer to her as Dara's make up was touched up.] It still hasn't grown that much?

[Bom was talking about the shaved part of Dara's hair.] 

Dara: Ne, It hasn't. I told them to shave it again but Chaerin stopped them. She said that if she had her say in it, she would have my hair arranged in a more girly way. Why is your hair in a ponytail?

[Bom raised a brow at Dara]

Bom: Why is your hair back to this?

Bom/Dara: Sajangnim. [then they both laugh]

Bom: I'm feeling it though!

Dara: I know! It suits you! Besides, I'm too attached to this hair to want to get rid of it at once. I wouldn't be Dara if I had normal hair, ne?

[Bom could see that Dara was feeling down. She wasn't her usual "Vitamin" self. The make-up artist told Dara that she was done and left the 2 of them in private.]

Bom: Stop it, Dara. What's going on?

Dara: I seem to be getting old for parties.

[Bom placed her hands on Dara's shoulder and the latter looked at Bom through the mirror.]

Bom: You know we never get old. [Dara smiled at her] now, let me make this simple for you. Does it have anything to do with a certain drag… [Dara sighed and nodded] O…so then, I was right! What happened this time?

Dara: Nothing happened, Bommie. Don't worry about me.

Bom: Aigoo, I hate it when you act all matured and feel the world is against you. This image, this whole leather get up and hairstyle is clouding your naturally fun-loving self!

Dara: its the truth. I should start being mature enough to accept the things I should and I should not do.

Bom: Like being happy? [Dara took a deep breath then faced Bom.]

Dara: Bommie-ah…

Bom: ne, Dara-yah?

Dara: is it all right?

[Bom smiled, knowing what her friend was asking and she could see that Dara was fighting her tears]

Dara: is it all right to be happy?

Bom: Its not illegal.

Dara: Even just for tonight?

Chaerin: Even for the rest of your life.

Dara: Chaerin!

Chaerin: sorry, couldn't help but eavesdrop.

Minzy: We knew something was bothering you.

Bom: Like always, Dara.

Chaerin: We're here to protect you.

Minzy: Just like before.

Chaerin: hands in?

[they looked at each other and smiled. it was a Chrome Hearts Party anyway, so everyone wore their ring.]

~~~~~~~~

The girls alighted the car headed by Chaerin. They put on smiles on their faces and bowed in greeting to the people who knew them. They went to the exhibit and looked at the photos.

Minzy: Dara-unnie! you are smoking hot over here!

Bom: Tell your brother you are a smoky girl after all!

Dara: Aigoo, even the photos don't want to include me in the group.

Chaerin: Yah! Get out of it! How can we party with this mood of yours!

Dara: Ne, ne, ahjumma! [Chaerin pushed her to the next frame] 

Chaerin: You stole the scene here though.

[They continued walking until they reached the other photos.]

Bom: Oh…nice.

Minzy: Everyone's just so pretty.

Chaerin: O…look at this… [Everyone looked at the photo]

[Then Bom hums "Heartbreaker" and Dara hits her arm while the other 2 laughed. Suddenly, all the girls stopped and looked at Taeyang's half photo. Dara pushed them.]

Dara: Really, girls!

[The girls looked at each other and smirked]

Chaerin: That's how they should be. Rock hard!

Bom: I bet she finds the one on top, more handsome.

Minzy: O, is he always on top?

Dara: Minji-ah! Aigoo! Seriously girls, stop! There are a lot of people.

Minzy: Look at GD-oppa and Taeyang-oppa! What do you think are they looking at?
