A/N: Hello Guys miss me :) I would just like to welcome you all to the SECOND ARC of the story. Some of you might be throwing daggers on me now becuase DARAGON pairing seems sinking and other pairings too - there are many reasons why but the most important to me and i hope to you as well is the journey of each character - I want this story to be those kinds that it doesnt just concentrate on the love story but also on how their characters evolve. In my own experience in life, I've hurt people that I love - some which I still keep and some I need to let go and some of them I let fate decide for the outcome. If i let DARA and GD be back in each other arms that easily would their love be worth it? Wouldnt it just gives way to endless failures?... I leave that question for you to answer. GD and DARA and other characters here should have their happy ending whether with one another or without :p.... Im really happy for critical assessments of my readers - it gives me a sense that you connect with me :) I offer this chapter to pedpen.  Thank you for your most awesome comment :) So now.. get ready for the start of the second arc of this story :) enjoy !!!! Your comments are mandatory hahahahha :)

ARC II: "NEW BEGINNING"

DARA’s POV

I am sitting here at one of the benches in YG training room, watching the new trainees do their best, watching them struggling to reach their dreams and watching them grow every day. This is not new to me, to us – 2ne1, as they say “been there, done that” – but there’s always something special in beginnings. Those were the times that you started from scratch, afraid of failures, afraid of criticisms, afraid that you will be nowhere after. Maybe you’ll say “but she started already in the Philippines” yes that’s right but it’s different, I may have started there and have been successful but that’s it – have been. My success, popularity, money was all have been in the past and along with those is the pain that my family encounters – my father, he was also included to the “have been” - have been a father and a husband. He chose to left us and have a life without us. So I decided to start a new career here with the help of Yang Hyun Suk and of course the YG family. During my start, as you all know – it was not easy. My charms were not enough as my weapon to become successful – I need to have faith in myself not just the faith of the crowd. Why am I reminiscing right now, you ask? Because my life started again with a new chapter.

What new chapter? Ask the author – hehehehe. I guess a new chapter were all my heart breaks, failures, criticisms does not affect me negatively now – I use them as my ultimate weapon to move on, to live my dream and to dream more every time. Are you wondering what happened for the past years? Well after and TABI and I had a talk, he did what he promised me. We moved on from everything, I don’t know how we did it but we did. TABI is someone like me, complicated and simple. Complicated in a way that majority of the people will not understand his logic but I do, SEVEN do and BOM do. Simple because when you want something and tell him, he will not ask you to explain – he will do it. TABI is someone special to me, and our friendship is something I will happily lay my life for. BOM, me and TABI is known as the ALIEN TRIO force here at YG – we are special like that. Alright, alright, enough of TABI – you are asking me about YOUNGBAE – well YOUNGBAE and I maintained our friendship. He was infatuated with me – have mercy on the guy – I was the only girl who gives him affection outside his family which he misunderstood for love. JIYONG and he stayed as friends and right now he is always linked with IU – cute right? Well who would not fall for BAE – he is nice and innocent and PLAYFUL. Get that capitalized letters? GAWD I don’t know when he will mature or stop making fun of me, well maybe never – I hope he will find someone who will level down his naughtiness. You wanted to ask me about JIYONG? – I know. Well GD and I grew apart – it was a very hard decision for me. If I could replay our relationship, I would choose not to be involved with him other than being friends. But. Well because of him I’ve learned a lot – He was, I guess my ultimate heartbreak. I think you are familiar with that saying – that once in your life you will find someone that you will love deeply but will never be yours. Dramatic and cliché? Well that’s life. But yeah, we are civil right now – He is with KIKO – Everyone knows about it but I don’t know why they both deny it. Well enough of him right? To summarize it all – this is the second arc of the story – OUR NEW BEGINNING

I know you wanted to ask me, what’s new with you? Well I am proud to say, that now I am past of my timid self… You may say that I am still awkward but with the help of different people outside YG family – I have learned to live my insecurities behind. One of them is DONGHAE- He is one of my precious friend outside YG. We hang out every time we can – If TABI is the one who is always cooperative of what I want, DONGHAE is his reverse version – HE always bombards me with his life lessons and sermons. You see – to his other friends, he is like this prince charming – but to me he is GODZILLA!!! But it doesn’t mean that I love him less. Also another new thing about me – if before, I sulk and cry because of negative things - now, I am trying hard to be a better version of myself – every day. JAEJOONG taught me that. We have become the support of each other to overcome each of our problems – HIM with his battle with his past company and me with my heartaches. I love him and he knows that and he is boastful about it with s. YOOCHUN tag my love for JAEJOONG as what they always call - JAE’s ULTIMATE PRIDE. Pretty silly – but I am happy that he is proud of it. Speaking of the devil – I see JAE walking to my direction with a smirk at his handsome face… Why is he here?

“HEY love… miss me?” he asked me with his y voice. Well, what is not y about him? NA-DA. He is a walking GOD and he knows it.

“Why are you here? Hanging out with TABI?” I asked him curiously and moved to my right to give space for him to sit

“TABI is not here at the room and you know that you are the only reason that I will be coming here at YG” he says as he occupy the sit beside me

“But we have seen each other yesterday and you practically told me that you will be flying to JAPAN? And I told you never to come here without TABI”

“Already getting rid of me love? after using my body yesterday?” He said feigning hurt

I instantly blush with his words “Stop it JAE…”I covered my heated face which causes him to chuckle and envelops me with his left arm

“Shy, are we? Okay I’m stopping now” he said while mischievously smiling

“But seriously JAE why are you here?” I asked him again

“Well… haven’t you checked the net? Someone have seen us hanging in the café” he said smiling

“Oh okay, so that explains why the trainees and some of the seniors were basically ogling us right now… they are speculating if the buzz is true?”

“I guess so… added the fact that I basically hug you in their presence”

“Yes even if I told you to be careful”

“Let them speculate…. Besides I’m here because of – “

“THE TEST” TEDDY finished his sentence. We both stand up from our seat as we heard TEDDY’s voice. We have not seen him coming in our way and he was not even inside the training room. Did he fly?

“Come on KIM JAEJOONG” he told him with a serious tone, signaling with his hand to the doorway to follow him

“HEY wait!” I grabbed on to JAE’s left arms “What TEST HYUNG? What do you mean?” I asked… Please not the YG dating test – I silently prayed

“THE YG DATING TEST, unless KIM JAEJOONG is a sissy?” he asked measuring JAE from top to toe with his observant eyes as if JAE is a science specimen that he needs to dissect

“LOVE, let me handle this” JAE told me with his assuring smile

“But, no need for that”

“Tell that to YG” TEDDY challenged me then turns his back to us

“I’m coming with JAE” I told them

“Suit yourself” TEDDY said.

!!! I’m ing nervous at this moment

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

JIYONG’s POV

I am sitting here at one of the benches in YG training room watching the new trainees do their best, watching them struggling to reach their dreams and watching them grow every day. Are you wondering about me? I guess you are, since you will not be staying here, reading this story if you are not. Well, I have moved on with the help of KIKO, friends, music and work. How about BIGBANG – our bond have become stronger than before especially me and BAE. I guess we’ve matured enough to face another book of our lives. How about KIKO? She is special to me but we are not official. Yes, we have this unnatural relationship – we are not buddies. No, we are better than that. It’s an agreement between us that we can screw all we want but at the end of the day we will have each other. Don’t get her wrong, there are times that she told me she wanted to step up our commitment, but I declined and she understood. I just can’t promise her anything – I don’t want to upset her if I cannot do the obligation of that official boyfriend tag – I cannot be faithful to her – she knows that and she accepts that. Both of us don’t want love commitments and that is our common ground. How about DARA? Dara and me, we grew apart. The closeness before cannot be brought back, we have healed ourselves separately. I have hurt her so much and vice versa. Right now, I am silently observing her across the room, She’s in deep concentration, thinking. I don’t know what she is thinking right now – but her beauty stands out of the crowd. Don’t get me wrong, I am not always like this – observing her, it was just I’m really curious that how in the world that she becomes careless. I mean yeah, most often time than not - I am the center of dating gossips, but I am a man and she is…. Yeah a she – a woman. She should not be that careless – people knows that in dating rumors – ladies are the one who are always bashed. I just hope that KIM JAEJOONG have balls. Oh no, don’t think that I am not friends with JAE HYUNG, he is a close acquaintance – our common denominator is TOP HYUNG. I hanged out with them from time to time together with the 2 other flower boys of Korea – CHUN and HYUNJOONG. I just stopped hanging  out with them because I’ve been busy with my own crew and the topic always includes DARA – the undying devotion of DARA to KIM JAEJOONG. Oh please, I am not bitter – It’s just that… the three guys were like DARA and JAE HYUNG’s avid fans – It’s irritating. Actually, when they gossip about DARA and JAE HYUNG, they can put gossip girls to shame.How about JAE HYUNG? – he likes it, actually he loves it – JAE’s ULTIMATE PRIDE my . Speaking of the gaytard - here he is – KIM JAEJOONG in the flesh. I see he got some balls to be here and to take the test. He should have done so before – but well maybe HE was actually bailing out of this or he just chickened out.

I am observing them from my corner – DARA is blushing - What is she a teenager? Gosh, she might just collapse there watching JAE HYUNG struts. I don’t know what’s with DARA and she fell in love with that insufferable human being. His looks? He is not handsome, he is PRETTY. Actually I do not know what their real score is, but you can just take a guess from how they treat each other right? And I am not curious, repeat, I am not curious. do they need to do PDA here? I wanted to marched there and tell them that it is not good for the trainees to see them like that – It’s inhuman!!! What? I’m telling the truth!!! GOSH Thank GOD.. TEDDY HYUNG arrived or else I will go to them and send them to the guidance councilor - these KIDS!!!!

TEDDY HYUNG told them something and DARA grabbed his arms. What? Korean drama everyone? Such a . DARA decided to come with him. Well, she have become brave now, Isn't she? I felt a pang of pain in my chest – more strict diet for me I guess. I look at them exit the training room when JAE HYUNG turns his head towards my direction and he smirked… HE SMIRKED? What the hell? Is he challenging me? I stand up from my seat but was disrupted by BAE’s hands

“HEY JI… where are you going man?”

“JAE HYUNG SMIRKED AT ME!!!”

“No he did not, He just acknowledges our presence” YB said with a teasing smile “let it go, unless you still have feelings for DARA and you wanted now to take your claim?”

“Are you insane?” I asked him

“Just curious why your face is so red right now and why you have been watching her every move…”

“Just curious” I said with finality, I wanted to scrap the chinky eyes of BAE

“Okay” he said then turns the other way

I grudgingly sit down next to him when both of our cellphone alerted for a new message from TOP HYUNG

-YG CONFERENCE ROOM 2 – NOW-

! I’m ing waiting for this moment

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

TOP’s POV

I am sitting here at one of the benches in YG training room watching the new trainees do their best, watching them struggling to reach their dreams and watching them grow every day. ENGGGGK… No, I am here at the YG Conference room, I just wanted to repeat DARA and GD’s line. What? It’s poetic right? Well wondering about me? Me - Is still me!!! – I am still the walking charisma here at YG. HEHEHEHEHE… seriously? I am doing fine, you see, everyone told me that I should not be fine… That I should be moping around and hurt with DARA’s decision not to be with me romantically. I am friend zoned, do I need to about it? NO? NA-AH… I understand TOKKI… All her heartbreaks, insecurities and issues. When she explains everything to me… I fully understand it – she is not ready. Imagine a broken glass glued just to make it whole again then trampled even it was not yet completely healed? That’s DARA. Who I am to judge her? So I made it simple – I become her friend and she is to me a very special friend together now with BOM. Oh, you are speculating that I and BOM is an item? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA cannot be, not in my lifetime. That woman is a coconut in the head… If DARA and I is complicated and simple… that WOMAN is a nutcase. Not that I am complaining, but yeah, I don’t want to take care of a nutcase girlfriend, so even if she always drools at my goddamn body – I always shoo her away and she obligingly go away. How about GD? Well, basically we grow up as a man and leave everything behind. I think he lost his balls and let KIKO bury it. He does not want commitments? It’s complicated? me but I don’t believe him. That my friend, is an excuse that he made for himself – complicated? What’s more complicated than having your name in the news headlines for different scandals with different women? I don’t know why KIKO even wanted to be with him. That girl is in love with him and he was so dense and immature not to face it. He is a disgrace to my group. Oh, let’s welcome him and YB they are already here and they chose to sit beside me while my two other BANG BANG brothers is here at my left side

DONGHAE? He is just like an AJHUMMA. Not my word, but DARA. I don’t want to talk about him. Simply because He’s like a chicken in a form of MAN. Should I rant about JAE? that man, he is gay!!! I don’t know why DARA loves him so much, enough to always choose to be with him than me, he even choose JAE over DONGHAE when both offers her to go out. Well, it is DARA’s choice not mine. Honestly, I’m thankful for JAE – aside from me, 2ne1 and SEUNGRI – he becomes DARA’s strength to move on. Speaking of the gay – here he comes – escorted by none other than YG himself with KUSH and TEDDY at the back…. HAHAHAHHA I see DARA in the hallway shooting daggers to our three elders. Don’t tell KUSH and TEDDY that I call them that I might lose the chance to have a full solo album. HEHEHEHEHE. Well, poor DARA… she cannot enter the conference room…. This is for YG MEN ONLY.

The Three elders left JAE at the center and proceeded to sit at the front benches. Our PAPA YG signals, then the lights of the room turned off living only the center spot light open, focused at the face of the man of the hour – JAE

JAE is standing confidently at the center, I can see the sweat forming in his forehead but I can say it’s not about being afraid but the heat of the spot light. He is smirking while looking at YG.

“Are the rumors true? Are you and DARA seeing each other? Are you the one with her in the AMOKKA CAFÉ?” TEDDY asked

“YES”

“Why were you not being careful? Are you not afraid of the rumors? It will hurt YOU and DARA”- KUSH

“I don’t care about them” he answered with a shrug of his shoulders while it leaves the other YG men irked and mouths hanging open. It silence the whole room and I can be sure that they were trying to kill JAE with their minds thinking that this bastard does not care about DARA’s image. But they are mistaken – He doesn’t care about the rumors. He was already past that. If DARA and him is dating, he doesn’t care about the fame already – Yes he love his career but he doesn’t want that to dictate what he can do with his life – He is tired of that

“Are you and DARA dating?” !!!! That is GD’s voice and I want to piss at my pants. AH!!! NA-AH… I just wanted to keep myself from laughing. MOVE ON MY …

“Is that a trick question?” he asked with the same intensity to GD

!!! I’m ing loving this moment

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

JAE’s POV

Before we proceeded to the YG Conference room, where the test should commence as per TEDDY HYUNG, He brought me first to YG’s private room. DARA was left outside even after her insistence that she will be coming with me. I entered the room, readying myself for combat, YG asked me to sit at one of the sofa as he sits across me. I seated at the center and looks at him squarely at the eyes. I am afraid but my desire to finish this is much stronger. If protecting DARA will mean that I have to be under this test then I’ll willingly take it.

YG is observing me with his scrutinizing eyes but I hold up my ground. We have been like this for already 30 minutes. I do not know why, but every minute that passed, I’m ing becoming more restless… His stares are no joke. I wanted to piss in my pants, , I don’t want to be here again… Is this how he investigates his artists? I would not be surprised if after 10 minutes they would just admit their mistakes… the silence makes you deaf and wanted to even admit the bombing of North Korea – but not me – FOR DARA I’ll stay strong.

“KIM JAEJOONG… No one is allowed to smart out YG FAMILY and treats this YG DATE TEST as a joke” at last he breaks the silence

“I’m sorry if you feel that way SAJANGNIM, but it was not my intention” I honestly said

“Do you love DARA?”

“Yes”

“Are you and DARA dating?”

“Is that a trick question?” I asked him and that same answer is the one that’ I’ll be giving in the YG conference room

“Don’t smirk at me MR. KIM we are not yet done”

I ing hate this moment

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

NORMAL POV

“Is that a trick question?” JAEJOONG asked the second time this day

“No, it’s not” GD said glaring at him

“Do I really need to answer that?” he challenges the man

“I think you need not to answer that, since it’s obvious” TOP said smirking

“Why are you here?” GD asked again, his voice laced with his irritability

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“We do not need another question to answer a given question” BAE asked irritated

"She loves me.... that is why I am here... "He confidently answers GD that earns a loud laughter from TOP

“Are you ting me? Are we playign dumb games?” GD said standing from his post

“Who's dumb? Im fighting for us that is why I am here and I am not ting on you, I am just being honest, what are you talking about?” JAE answers without even a glimpse of backing down adn GD shuts up at that... He is fightng for her

“You come here because DARA loves you, not because you love her too?” YB asked bewildered

“Why are you asking some obvious facts? We should just start with the crucial parts and the test stages… He obviously past the standards – Handsome Yes!!! Though he is also pretty!!!” TOP said that earns a glare by JAE but TOP just winked it off

“He can definitely support DARA in monetary aspects”

“I agree with TOP, Let’s get it on” YG said, still in a calm manner

All the YG MEN stand up from their seats and left the room except for YG, TEDDY and KUSH. GD was the last one who stepped out of the room and did not left without asking permission to YG to stay with them, which the latter strongly dismissed much to the amusement of JAEJOONG.

“Are you ready?” YG asks him

“Anytime” He confidently answered.

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

GD stepped out of the room feeling frustrated. He wanted to be there to assure that JAE would suffer. No he is not bitter, I repeat he is not bitter. He is just irritated – Imagine they asked JAEJOONG what’s the reason of him being here then would answer you that because that woman loves him?! What the right? Is he rubbing it on his face? I mean? He’s rubbing it on their faces. While he is walking to the cafeteria, his eyes landed to the lady sitting alone in one of the canteen table. He casually approached her.

“Hey Dee… What’s up?” he asked facing her across the table

DARA though obviously shocked answered her “Fine… How do you do?”

“Fine too… I’m curious…”

“About?”

“I thought it was DONGHAE at first, but it’s really JAEJOONG right? Poor fish he was rejected by you….ah you turned into a heartless girl DARA…” what am I saying?

“What is it to you?”

"Seems you have been ing around Seoul, yes?" MOUTH STOP NOW

“Turned to a gossiping girl now, yes?” DARA said, voice laced with venom “Well honestly, it is not your business at all GD or have you marked SEOUL as your ing territory? I thought that was in JAPAN?” DARA continues with an obvious sarcasm

“Smart , I am just concerned about your image” GD said exasperatedly to her

“GD you do not have to worry about our image… My manager can handle that, as one of our producers, obviously your job is to produce…” DARA said while standing at her seat and turns around from him

But before she left him out of earshot, She turns around and told him with conviction “GD next time that you decided to talk to me to amuse yourself… It's not DEE... that’s DARA NOONA for you” she smirks as she walks away leaving GD dumbfounded

Well it is true this is only time that he acknowledges her again directly and about her personal issues. He doesn’t want to get involve to her again, it is like a wall he built for himself and her. And what makes this day different for him to approach her again? He doesn’t know or rather he doesn’t want to define that feeling. Let bygones be bygones.

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

"I'll do it for him..."

"You are in no position to take her away from me"
