"Kwon Jiyong!" Doojoon's voice shook as he clutched at the newspaper reports that were scattered all over his desk. His hands trembled as he held up a newspaper report, but crushing it in fury.

Jiyong winced as he saw Doojoon act like this, but then again he could not blame him. His heart felt heavy and he looked at his feet, feeling more guilty then ever. Everything was his fault, and the company was dealing with enough trouble as it is. He couldn't even believe himself after that night, loosing himself like that.

He glanced at the headlines of the newspapers that were all over the floor and almost wished he hadn't. All of them wrote nearly the same thing, if not worse.

Leader of Big Bang assaults person at pub

Kwon Jiyong to follow fellow member in footsteps

Big Bang's fame takes a blow

Leader. Kwon Jiyong. Leader. Kwon Jiyong.

The title came crashing onto Jiyong, and he closed his eyes, biting his lip, feeling a strange of deja vu that Daesung was the one in his position a few days before.

Doojoon clenched his fists, cupping his face in his hands. He was feeling so incredibly angry, having his idols do something like this when their company was in deep trouble already? He was surprised. Jiyong was a smart person, not someone rash. If anything, he should be someone who would take charge of clearing up the mess, and not one to be the one who caused it. Doojoon was feeling the pressure of being a CEO now. All the scandals that were piling up, how the hell was he going to deal with this ?

Jiyong said nothing as he looked at the floor, ashamed. This wasn't just any mistake he had let slip up. He wanted to close his eyes, open them again and come to realize that it was only a dream. Oh how that notion seemed so un feasible at the moment.

Doojoon walked over to Jiyong, looking at him square in the eyes.

"Jiyong," he whispered. "Do you know what this means for our company?"

Jiyong nodded, feeling his heart sink with every word Doojoon said. He felt tears gather at the corner of his eyes, and he tried blinking them away as he looked at Doojoon again.

Doojoon breathed in deep, but didn't say anything. He knew the leader felt bad enough, that he too did not want this to happen. Saying anything now wouldn't change the situation at hand. He turned to Jiyong, and his eyes softened as he saw Jiyong trying to wipe away the tears that were threatening to leak out quickly. He gathered Jiyong in his arms, and awkwardly patted his back.

Jiyong was surprised at the Director's sudden gesture, but was grateful and a new fresh wave of tears threatened to spill. He felt Doojoon pat his back, and a soft whisper.

"Like Daesung, I need you to be strong now,"

-----

 Jiyong was clutching the cold surface of the company's toilet sink, trying to get rid of his tears that can't seem to stop flowing. He had to make them stop, he had to be strong, like what Doojoon had said. He was angry with himself. Angry with that who had provoked him that night at the pub. Angry with Doojoon for forgiving him so easily. He chuckled darkly as he realized what a mess his life was in now. He had lost the only person he had ever loved, and screwed up big in his role as a leader.

The door to the toilet opened and Jiyong glanced up, hurriedly trying to wipe away his tears before the person saw. His eyes widened in surprise as he realized who it was.

"Hyunseung...? Why are you here? I thought you were given the week off..." Jiyong managed to choke out, wiping his tears away as his back was turned to Hyunseung.

"I was looking for you," Hyunseung said, and stopped. "I heard someone crying in the toilet, and...hyung, I was worried. I-I saw the news articles," Hyunseung said, his eyebrows creased with worry.

"So?" Jiyong said, closing his eyes and letting new tears seep out from under his eyelids. Since when did Hyunseung cared so much about him? Wasn't he busy with his new boyfriend to keep track of what was happening to him?

Hyunseung's large doe eyes changed from being sympathetic to absolute confusion and fury in an instant.

"Kwon. Jiyong." Hyunseung seethed, and grabbed the back of the leader's jacket to turn him so that he was facing him. He made the extra effort to come all the way here to comfort and make sure he was okay, and he was giving him one-syllabled answers? This was not cool.

"I demand you tell me this instant, the reason why you have been acting like such an these few weeks. Being an covers you ignoring and avoiding me as well," Hyunseung softened a little when he saw the tears in his hyung's eyes, but that does not mean he was letting up.

He needed an answer.

Jiyong glared at Hyunseung, not able to think straight. He felt angry at Hyunseung was being so slow and dimwitted and not noticing that he liked him, but then again, he felt guilty for not ignoring him in the past few weeks. Did he really not know why he was acting like this?

Jiyong shook off Hyunseung's hands, irritated. "Hyunseung, you babo," Jiyong whispered, his teeth clenched. Hyunseung furrowed his eyebrows, confused.

"Ji-"

"I like you," Jiyong snapped, and mentally smacked himself in the head when he realized the he had just confessed. He looked at Hyunseung, his palms breaking out in cold sweat as he waited for a reaction. Hyunseung stared at him, taking a few seconds to process the new information.

"W-what?" Hyunseung spluttered, his face turning bright red. Jiyong felt a sense of panic rise in his chest. He had screwed up big this time.

"Wait! Erm, I-I know you are dating Junhyung, s-so don't feel pressured, I am not going to force you to date me or anything," Jiyong's words came out rushed, tumbling out one after the other. Hyunseung, hearing that Jiyong knew of his relationship with Junhyung, turned redder still.

Jiyong wanted the ground to open up and just swallow him whole. What in the world has he done? This was beyond awkward...confessing to someone when you know he has a boyfriend already...oh gosh.

"I think I have a lot of explaining to do," Jiyong chuckled awkwardly, not meeting Hyunseung's gaze as he looked at the floor. Having confessed, he felt a pang in his heart as he realized that there was no way Hyunseung would return his feelings.

Hyunseung nodded, saying that he was willing to listen. Both him and Jiyong stood in the toilet awkwardly as Jiyong told Hyunseung about his crush on him ever since they were young, and how heart-broken he was when he overheard Junhyung's confession to Hyunseung in the forest.

Hyunseung listened to Jiyong's explanation, and felt guilty for telling Jiyong he had acted like an . He couldn't believe how he had not noticed Jiyong's crush on him, and now that he thought of it, was pretty obvious too. All the times when Jiyong would call him up in the middle of the night to force him to listen to a sappy love song he had come up with, when Jiyong would make tiny hand made gifts for him on his birthday, no matter how fail they were.

Hyunseung couldn't help but start sobbing when Jiyong ended his explanation, crumpling to the ground softly as he felt so, so sorry.

"Hyunseung..." Jiyong whispered as he gathered the crying Hyunseung into his arms.

"I-I am sorry hyung, but I can't return your feelings..." Hyunseung felt like an , forcing Jiyong to own up and finding out he had been the root of all those problems. Now that he was with Junhyung, there really wasn't anything he could do.

"Shh..." Jiyong comforted Hyunseung, rubbing his back in a soothing manner. "I know," he choked, feeling tears gather in his eyes again.

From: Gayoon

Meet me at the cafe in front of SM Ent building at 2:00p.m. This is important. You really wouldn't want to ignore me this time.

The annoying message has been on Doojoon's mind ever since he left the house that morning, before he met up with Jiyong in the office. He had been debating whether or not to ignore the message, and had originally decided on the latter, but the new message Gayoon had sent him caught his attention.

That is, if you want to stop all these scandals that have been happening.

And here he was, seated at a booth in the cafe Gayoon had told him to be at. Doojoon growled lowly when he realized that Gayoon had been the one to have indirectly cause all these things to happen to his company. She did threaten him when they broke up after all. Considering her father's position, it should not have been hard to do either. Clenching his fist around the glass of water on the table, he couldn't help but feel nervous at what Gayoon was about to tell him.

He looked up as the bells hung at the door of the cafe chimed, and tried hard not to scowl as he saw Gayoon walk in. She looked relieved, and almost smug when she saw Doojoon seated at the booth. She slid into the seat opposite him, and gave a large smile to the waiter that came to take her order.

"What would you like to have?" the waiter asked politely, as she passed a menu over to Gayoon.

"Not ordering," Doojoon snapped, looking at Gayoon. Gayoon rolled her eyes and smiled apologetically to the waiter, before placing an order for a latte. When the waiter walked away, Doojoon immediately started to question Gayoon.

"Gayoon. Get straight to the point, or I am leaving," Gayoon raised her eyebrows coldly at his statement, before smirking.

"Is that really the way to talk to a woman? You should really take a look at your own position before you talk like that again. Last time I checked, the news circulating your artists aren't that great at all,"

Doojoon stared at Gayoon, questioning his own sanity for having dated her for so long when his father was alive.

"Gayoon," he started. "What did you do to Jiyong and Daesung?"

Gayoon smirked, and the waiter from before walked over and placed her order on the table. She took her time with her answer, slurping a bit of her drink before continuing.

"Doojoon, do you really think I am stupid enough to tell you the things I did? Let's just say someone planned a little before Daesung's accident happened, and the meeting of the person who provoked Jiyong at the pub wasn't exactly coincidental."

Doojoon clenched his drink even tighter, until his knuckles turned white. Jiyong had told him that he was indeed stirred by a person's comments at the pub, but he didn't know that Gayoon was the one who had plotted all this.

And Daesung? Gayoon wouldn't have been someone who framed Daesung for knocking down the motorcyclist, now would she?

Doojoon felt his blood turn cold. "Gayoon..." he whispered incredulously. "You can get arrested for this. Especially for Daesung's case. Oh my god, what the did you do?"

Gayoon tsked, wagging her ring studded hand at Doojoon. "Language," she mocked, still smiling.

Doojoon shook his head. "I am leaving," but as he grabbed his jacket to make a move, Gayoon spoke.

"Are you sure you want to leave just like this? And for me to still have reason to do things to your company?"

Doojoon bit his lip, but released his jacket. "Gayoon, what do you want?" he breathed.

Gayoon smiled, and when Doojoon's gaze met hers, he saw that she looked genuinely pleased that she had caught Doojoon's attention. Doojoon shuddered, not liking the reason she looked like that.

Gayoon opened her handbag, and shuffled through the contents inside before producing a small box. Doojoon's heart dropped as he realized what was inside the box.

"Doojoon, I want you. Let's get engaged," she said and smiled, as if that was the most normal thing in the world. The box opened to reveal couple rings, rings that Doojoon was sure he would mostly likely prefer cutting off his fingers then wear them.

Doojoon took a few moments to process this, and shook his head, too shocked to even speak.

"What?" he spluttered. He glared at Gayoon, wondering whether she had her head screwed on right. She had done all those things, gotten his stars into so much trouble, just for this? Even when she knew it was impossible?

"No," he said shortly. "Gayoon, we are over, and I am not sure what I am going to do, but if I ever find evidence now that I know you are the one behind all the scandals, I will sue you. I don't understand why you go through such great lengths just because you want me to be yours, but no. I don't love you, never had, and never will," with that, Doojoon stood up from the booth and prepared to leave, but not before he heard Gayoon whisper.

"Are you sure that's your final choice?" Doojoon's blood ran cold when he heard it. Gayoon's voice was filled with malice, edged with ice. He couldn't help but feel pressured at what Gayoon was going to do next, but he forced himself to continue on his way towards the door, out of the cafe.

 Gayoon clenched her teeth as she dribbled her fingers on the table top. With every passing second, her mind was set on only one thing.

Destroying Doojoon.

 She laughed to herself crazily, attracting the attention of people in the cafe. It took a few seconds before she realized that her phone was ringing. She paused for a moment when she realized the caller was Lee Joon.

 "What?" she snapped.

 "I-I found something that might interest you..."

I am really curious, do you guys prefer Jiseung or Junseung? :D
