"Love is friendship set to music." - E. Joseph Crossmann

 

December 2006

There were times when we couldn't get  to hang out anymore. Big Bang was so busy with their promotions, CL and I were busy with fashion shows, photoshoots, Bom and Minzy are busy with studying, Se7en Oppa was busy preparing for his U.S. Debut, Byul Unnie was busy with her tv series, Teddy Oppa was busy producing songs. So when Seungri invited me and CL for his birthday bash I didn't hesitate to say yes. I miss my dongsaeng Daesung ang my boy BFF Yongbae... and I miss seeing him. Well at least the craziness of my schedule has somewhat pacified the chaos going on between my brain and heart. What I didn't know was the gang has planned something for us that night.

"Hyung! Are you sure this is going to work?" Seungri asked looking worried.

"Seungri-ah, get a hold of yourself this plan is perfect!" Teddy said patting the maknae on the back.

"Can't believe Sohee agreed to this." Yongbae smiled shaking his head in disbelief.

"Well believe it and you don't forget your tasks tonight ok?"Teddy said pointing at Yongbae. "Where's Seunghyun?"

"I think he picked up Bom." Yongbae answered looking around. 

 

Teddy and Se7en rented the VIP room in one of their president's club for Seungri's birthday bash. The club is starting to fill up with people while the boys are going through their plan one last time. They figured if Jiyong and Dara can't figure out what their real feelings for each other are then they will help them realize it. Teddy, who was at first against it, was now the mastermind. He got a hold of Sohee and told her the plan, Sohee being mischievous herself agreed to help. The boys then told Byul, CL, Minzy and Bom about their plan and agreed to help.

"Byul just called, they're near. Where's Jiyong?" Se7en asked. 

"He's with Daesung and they picked up Sohee." Teddy answered scanning through the club. "Well... good luck to us."

After a few minutes the girls arrived at the club and they all went straight up to the VIP lounge.    “Hon!” Se7en waved at the girls while seated at one of the couches.    “Hey!” Byul greeted followed by Dara, CL and Minzy.    “YONGBAE!!!!” Dara screamed eagerly running to Yongbae and hugging him. “I miss you so much!!!!!”    “Sincha?!” Yongbae smiled ruffling Dara’s hair who was jumping like a teenager in front of him.    “Yeah! I miss you and Daesung!!! You don’t text or call me that much anymore!!” Dara pouted.    “Are you sure it’s us that you miss?” Yongbae teased raising his eyebrows up and down.    “HMPH! I miss you so much!!!” Dara said pinching Yongbae’s cheeks and hugged him tightly again.    “Noona!!!!” they heard someone shout from behind. Dara didn’t remove her embrace from Yongbae and simply turned him around so she’s now facing where the voice is coming from.    There she saw Daesung running towards them and behind him was GD holding hands with Sohee. Dara felt a short pang in her heart when she saw the two but got distracted by Daesung.    “Daesungie!!!! I missed you!!! How are you?!” Dara said embracing Daesung like he was a long lost relative.    After some more screaming and hugging and pinching on the cheeks, Daesung and Dara settled down on the couch next to Yongbae.    “Oh! Biyane… Anneong.” Dara said greeting Jiyong and then looking at Sohee. “Anneong Sohee how are you?”    “Oh… I’m fine. Dara-shi I think you’re getting more beautiful everyday. What’s your secret?” Sohee asked smiling at her.    “Me? I don’t know I just wash my face daily?!?” Dara answered shrugging her shoulders.    Sohee got shocked at her answer. “Sincha? Omo! You don’t have make up right now?”    Dara nodded. The group was now settled down on the VIP lounge chatting and keeping up with each other when Teddy signaled a nod to Yongbae who extended his right arm on the couch. Dara oblivious to the plan cuddled towards him making Jiyong clench his jawline.    Aish… I hate how she feels comfortable with everyone else except me. Jiyong thought to himself.    “Jiyong, I’m hungry.” Sohee said touching Jiyong’s shoulder. The boy got up and went to get some nachos on the buffet table and went back to his sit giving the food to Sohee.    Sohee ate the nachos and she didn’t notice that there were some cheese creams on the side of her lips.    “Aish…this girl.. Yah! Eat like a lady! Look at you.” Jiyong said grabbing a napkin and leaning forward to Sohee wiping the dirt on her face.    I didn’t know why but I was hurt when I saw him doing that to Sohee. I kept thinking are they a couple? Or is he just like that to everyone? Does that mean him being nice to me was just because we were friends? I wanted to be that girl that he takes care of. I got weirded out with my feelings that I focused and catching up with my friends instead.    “Where’s Bom?” Dara asked Yongbae the music was so loud in the club that she had to lean closer and whisper in his ear.    “Seunghyun Hyung picked her up. They should’ve been here by now I guess they went to stop somewhere else.” Yongbae whispered back.    From the corner of her eye she could see J
