I go by the name CL of 2NE1
It’s been a long time comin’
And we ’bout to set the roof on fire baby (Uh oh)
You better get yours, cuz I’m gettin’ mine

Dara nibbled on her thumb. 

COME IN COME IN COME IN dahreun sesangeuhro

Dara growled. That intermission between the two versus will bore the audience. 

Nae nunbicheun bitnaneun byeol deulro 
Na shimjangsogeun tae u neun jeo beulbitdo 
Yeongweonhajin anhkyeatji deo irheul keon eobsji 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Yeah

Dara blasted the track throughout the studio. Listening to the track, prepared her badass Dara before she began:

"I go by the name CL of 2NE1
It’s been a long time comin’, but we here now (Dara quickly wrote it in)
And we ’bout to set the roof on fire baby (Uh oh)
You better get yours, cuz I’m gettin’ mine"

Replaying the track, Dara started up again. 

"I go by the name CL of 2NE1
It’s been a long time comin’, but we here now
And we ’bout to set the roof on fire baby (Uh oh)
You better get yours, cuz I’m gettin’ mine, Oh!

hm mm mm mm mm mm Mhmm...2ne1..

hmm mm mm Mm mm mm Mhmm...2ne1..No that doesn't sound right."

Dara knitted her brows together. Aaish, it's really hard to compose a 2ne1 song! Glaring at the lyrics in front of her, Dara threw her pen at it and pouted. Well.. the 2ne1 part.. Dara picked up the pen again, it can be an echo? Dara placed parenthesis on the first 2ne1 and crossed out the second. This is YG's first girl group and they're going for bad .. Dara replayed the track:

"hmm mm mm Mm mm mm mm Mhmm... (You better ring the alarm)..?

hm mm mm mm mm mm mm Mhmm... (We 2ne1)

"Hey.. it's a start.." Dara sighed. 

"Play the track again." Dara looked over her shoulder to see Jiyong sitting on the couch.

"When did you get here?" Dara quirked a brow at him but did as he asked(demanded).

"About fifteen minutes ago." The two listened to Dara's track. Jiyong walked over and sat next to Dara. 

"I'm not use to composing up beat songs," Dara admitted, intimidated by Jiyong's presence,"But that's what 2ne1 needs for their debut single."

"Why not? You're pretty badass along with the 2ne1 girls," Jiyong retorted, yet his focus laid on the music in front of him,"Instead of your 'hm's, what about 'eh'? So it goes like:

 'Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Ehh'-"

"2ne1~" Dara sung.

"Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Ehh-"

"You better ring the alarm~" 

"Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Ehh-"

"We 2ne1~" Dara's eyes widden.

"Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Ehh Hey Hey Hey hey!"

"Hey! That's good!" Dara squealed. Snatching the lyrics out of his hands, Dara quickly wrote down the new changes.

"Komawo, Ji!" Her eyes shined brightly at the improved lyrics before her. Jiyong stared at her and shook his head. 

"It's no problem." How could someone act so cute without realizing so? Jiyong continued to watch her spazz out.

"So what brings you here to the recording studio?" Dara asked after her little moment. Quickly reverting his sight away from Dara, he chuckled. 

"Apparently, we both like to work in the same recording studio while there are other studios on this floor. You and I saved our music to this booth."

"Wait," Dara's looked at him surprised,"Were you waiting for me to finish? I'm sorry! You could've told me earlier!" Dara gasped.

"Nah, you waiting last time when I was with Teddy Hyung. It was only fair you get it this time around."

"But the girl's debut won't come out until another year at the earlist! Big Bang's trying to get they're 3rd mini album out right?! You need the studio more than I do." Dara countered.

"How do you know we're trying to get our 3rd mini album out?" Jiyong questioned her. He's only spoken to YG himself about this new.

"Uh.."Dara scolded herself, why of all the times she could slip up she had to slip in front of GD?! "I'm..uh.. dedicated V.I.P?" Dara sweatdropped at her excuse. Really?!

"Oh really?" Jiyong asked, totally enjoying the moment,"So, dedicated V.I.P, who told you this information? I haven't, nor YG, has released anything about Big Bang's 3rd mini album."

"W-well...your- ah..,"Dara think of something quick!"Ah! Your fancafes, yeah! Were talking about it in.. ah.. one of those chatrooms! They're really... looking forward to new Big Bang's acitivites and someone in ther brought up Big Bang's 3rd mini album! Yea, that's it!" Dara freaked. That was convincing enough, right?!

Jiyong watched her make up the story in front of him, totally amused. It was a good story she made up and he would've believed it if it weren't for the stuttering, flustering, blushes,fumbles here and there, and the fact that she was looking everywhere but him. 

"Ah chincha?" Jiyong piped up, playing along with her. 

"Yup! Yup! That's totally what happened!" Dara reassured herself rather than him.

"Well... that may be true, but I'm sure you just made the story up just now." Jiyong watched Dara hunch over and pout. Jiyong laughed and patted Dara on the head.

"Sorry Noona but you aren't a very convincing actress." Dara scrunched her nose at him and looked away from him. Hmph.

"So how did you find out?" Jiyong asked, seriously this time around.

"I... was talking to Sajang Nim this morning and it slipped out." Well, it was more like Dara and YG were discussing best time for 2ne1 girls to debut and Jiyong just booked Big Bang on the calendar. Not much of a difference.

Jiyong nodded, finding nothing wrong with explanation.

"Well, I'll leave to let you working on that awesome 3rd mini album." Dara stood and packed her belongings.

"Wait," Dara stopped,"Where are you going after this?"

"Uh.."Dara looked at the time,"Probably go home to kill some time before I meet up with the girls."

"Then stay here, I want an  opinion on a song I've been working on." said Jiyong.

"Eh? Me? Wae?" Dara asked, honored yet flustered.

"Just sit here Noona." Jiyong patted on her seat impatiently. Ew, it's warm. Jiyong took his hand away from the seat and brought out his files of music on the computer. Dara hesitantly sat down and waited for him. The track played.

The melody filled the studio. Dara stared at the switches and buttons before her. The song was beautiful. Within the first fifteen seconds, she could feel the pain and uneasiness of the song expressed. Shifting around in her seat, she found a comfortable position of having her knees close to her. Leaning her head onto the seat, she closed her eyes and let the melody sink into her. The piece was so heart breaking, touching. Dara didn't want to disturb the song. She wanted to listen and enjoy the song. Jiyong silently watched her listen to the song and breathed out;

"Dorabojimalgo tteonagara                                     Don't look back and leave

Tto nareul chatjimalgo saragara                             Don't find me again and live

Neoreul saranghaetgie huhoeeopgie                     Because I have no regrets from loving you

Johatdeon gieongman gajyeogara                          take only the good memories

Geureokjeoreok chamabolmanhae                        I can bear it in some way

Geureokjeoreok gyeondyeonaelmanhae               I can stand in some way

Neon geureolsurok haengbokhaeyadwae             You should be happy if you are like this I become dull 
Haru har, Mudyeojyeogane                                     day by day 

Oh my girl I cry cry
You're my all 
Say goodbye"

Listening to Jiyong sing the chorus really touched Dara. The song, the lyrics. The emotions to the song were so raw yet everyone would be able to relate to it. The bitterness of ending a lovely relationship. Dara smiled a bittersweet smile. Just because she has been in a relationship doesn't mean she wouldn't understand how it felt. Movies, dramas, and her friend's relationships all has taught her this emotion. Letting the emotions override her, Dara can feel the silent tears run down her face. After the song ended, Dara swerved the computer chair she was sitting on to the side and wiped the trails of tears off. She let out a weak laugh. Dara Swerved the chair back to face him.

"Sorry, I get pretty emotional sometimes," Dara smiled,"It's a lovely song. Painfully lovely."

 "Thanks..I've been working on this for weeks now." She's so... weird...Jiyong watch her rub her eyes. No, weird doesn't describe it..

"Did you watch a really sad drama? Movie? Did the main actress die or something? This is really deep stuff you've composed here Ji.." Dara lightly joked.

"Something..like that." 

"Good, because I rather have you watch that pain instead of experiencing it" Dara edge her seat close to his and ruffled his hair.

"Don't grow up too fast, Ji. Live life the fullest, day by day. Haru haru. Arrasso?" Dara smiled.

"..." Jiyong nodded,"What about you?"

"What about me?" 

"Have you been in a relationship, Dara?" Jiyong asked curiously. Jiyong inwardly cursed. He's screwed. He can feel his heart beat fast, waiting for her answer.

"Aahh.. Nothing serious," Dara replied,"I've been traveling the past six years, around the world. I stayed at a city for about half a year or so before moving to another. I didn't take any of them seriously and they barely lasted longer than a month."

So...she..hasn't experienced love yet...His heart beated even faster.

"What about you? hm?" 

"I had just one serious relationship before.." Jiyong watched her facial expression carefully. Dara was a decent actress, she didn't show anything but curiousity and sympathy to him. She didn't let any of her emotions convey her actual feelings regarding his past relationship. 

"But?" Dara can feel the but at the tip of his tongue.

"But it didn't work out, thus 'Haru haru'." Jiyong finished.

"Oh sorry," Dara didn't know what to say. Wait a minute..

"Hey! Didn't you just tell me that you didn't experience that pain?!" Dara stared curiously at him.

"I lied," Jiyong said.

"Why?"

"I didn't know how to answer it so I answered the question the safest way," Jiyong shrugged,"Besides, you shared something about yourself. It wasn't right for me to lie to you when you gave me your honest answer."

"Well...are you okay now?" Dara asked softly. Jiyong nodded his head effortlessly.

"It's something I needed to get off my chest, I'm fine now." And..I think I moved on..

"That's good," Dara chirped. She glanced at the time and squealed.

"I gotta go, I'm late!" Dara gathered her belongings,"Thanks for helping me out with the song and letting me listen to yours Ji! I'll see you later or another day~"

"Ne, have fun with the girls" Jiyong bidded her.

"Ne~" Dara closed the studio door behind her, leaving Jiyong alone in the recording studio.

Today was acutally a free day for the girls. It was rare for them so they made the best of it. Dara buzzed Bom's door while she gasped for air. She parked her car a block away from Bom's place. For some reason, Bom's streets were always filled. A moment later, Bom yanked the door open and tugged Dara in before kicking the door close behind her. 

"Yah! You're late!" Bom chastised.

"M-mian!" Frightened by Bom's roughness, Dara stuttered and squeaked. 

"It's okay, just don't do it again,"Bom waved off,"The girl's are in my room. We're dying to talk to you Ssantokki!"

"Huh? About what?" Dara asked, confused. They see each other throughout the day. Why couldn't they ask her any of those times?

"Girl stuff silly!" Minzy chirped, hearing Dara from inside Bom's room,"We can't really do that at the company now can we?"

Entering Bom's room, CL and Minzy jumped onto Dara,"Unnie~! You're finally here!" "SANTOKKI'S here!"

"I'm here!" Dara went along with the flow of energy the girls created and hugged the girls back.

After their.. uh.. touching greeting, Dara sat on Bom's bed and asked curiously,"What do you guys want to me about?"

"Well...it's not really a talk to you, it's more of a talk with you" Minzy corrected.

"Yea, we were talking about the Big Bang Oppas before you came in," CL inquired,"Like who we think is cute, who's voice we like, best dancer. Stuff like that."

"Unnie~, Who do you think dances better? Yongbae Oppa or Seungri Oppa?" Minzy asked.

"Definitely Yongbae, that's not even a question." Dara rolled her eyes.

"Ha! I told you!" Minzy exclaimed to CL,"Cl doesn't think so! She think's Seungri dances better!"

"Well, it's my opinion!" CL grumbled.

"Seungri bias~" Minzy teased. 

"Oooohh~" Bom and Dara cooed.

"Yah! Stop it!" CL blushed. The girls giggled. 

"Voice? How about their voice?" Minzy suggested.

"Singing or rapping?" Bom asked,"It's kinda hard to compare singing with rapping."

"Okay, Singing first" Dara singled out.

"Taeyang." 

"Daesung Oppa."

"Jiyong."

"...yah.. this isn't fair,"Cl pouted before answering,"Seungri." The girls laughed.

"Ahh, someone has a crush on him~" Bom teased.

"Ani-ya! His voice is really soothing at times" CL added.

"Arrasso, arrasso, you have a crush on him. You don't need to give us your excuses or reasons." Bom continued.

"Unnie!" CL whined. 

"Okay. Okay. Rapping?" Dara changed the topic.

"T.O.P"

"Jiyong Oppa."

"Jiyong."

"Jiyong."

"I change my mind, T.O.P Oppa" Minzy said.

"Wae?" CL asked. 

"I like how deep his voice it is." Minzy shrugged.

"So..." Bom started,"You like Jiyong's singing and rapping, Dara?" Oh boy, they're target was on her now.

"Yea, his voice sounds really nice," Dara told them effortlessly.

"Is that it?" CL egged on. Minzy, Bom and CL gave each other knowingly looks.

"Yup! What's next?!" Dara changed the subject. Fortunately, the girls let Dara go this time.. for now.

"Favorite Big Bang member?" Bom asked.

"Seungri. STOP LAUGHING AT ME" CL growled, and blushed, at the laughing girls. 

"Y-yah, we should hook you guys up one day." Minzy giggled.

"I'll help you!" Bom high-fived Minzy.

After the giggled monster has left the room, Bom replied,"Top."

"Yongbae Oppa."

Minzy, Bom and CL looked at Dara, waiting for her to say the name they were waiting for. Dara looked at the three girls and grumbled.

"FINE. Jiyong." Dara blushed and stared at the wall.

"Awweee, looks like the love bug's been busy." Bom cooed.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Minzy nudged Dara and giggled.

"No! There's nothing to talk about," Dara blushed,"M-moving on!"

"Ideal person in Big Bang" Bom chirped. CL and Dara groaned. Why?!

"You know my answer," CL grumbled.

"Same." Dara followed CL. Dara got up and sat next to CL. The two blushing girls were waiting for an ambush anytime soon.

"Top."

"None." CL, Dara, and Bom looked at Minzy.

"Ya, are you crazy? You really don't have an ideal type in Big Bang?" CL exclaimed.

Minzy shook her head,"My ideal type is Se7en oppa, and the Big Bang Oppas all have a little of Se7en's personality in them but none of it stands out for the Big Bang Oppas."

"Oh..that's a good enough answer." CL nodded.

"Top, Bommie?" Dara asked innocently.

"What? I have a 8D personality and he's just as crazy as I am," Bom shrugged," Besides...He's pretty..-"

"Cute?"

"Hot?"

"y?"

"He's pretty NICE to me" Bom blushed.

Dara and CL scoffed. Nice is not the top description for T.O.P

"Suuuuure Bommie" CL said sarcastically.

"So do you like Jiyong, Tokki?" Bom revert the questions back to Dara, the question the girls were dying to know.

"Uh..no.., of course I don't."Dara was completely fascinated by the painting job of Bom's room. 

"You like Jiyong~" CL and Bom sang, teasing Dara.

"N-no I don't!" Dara defended.

"Sandara Park likes Big Bang's Leaderrrrrr~ Kwon Jiyonnnggg~ G-Dragoon~" Bom cooed.

"Y-yah, stop annoucing that to the world!" Dara squealed.

"Omo, imagine if they ever get a fandom, the name! Oh Daragon? Hmm? I don't know about you but that sounds adorable" CL exclaims.

"Daragon! Daragon! Daragon!" Minzy chanted.

"YAH, STOP IT! Okay, okay! I have a tiny crush on him! Now stop it!" Dara grabbed Bom's pillow and threw it at Bom. She found another pillow and hid her face behind it. 

"You girls are so cruel." Dara sniffed.

"There's nothing wrong with accepting it Dara, you guys looked really cute during the kbbq night." CL nudged her.

"Yea, at least you have a chance with him. We," Bom pointed to herself, CL, and Minzy,"aren't allow to date once we start our contract. You don't have that restriction."

"You're forgetting he signed the same contract with YG." Dara pointed out.

"Yeah but it's always easier for celebrities to date a noncelebrity since it's easier to hid from media." CL countered.

Yup. Two celebs wearing the same ring and they'll never appear on the same stage or show together." Minzy sighed.

"Hey, hey. You're making it sound like I acutally have a chance with him. I don't. It's freaking Big Bang. And it's his leader. GD!" Dara exclaims,"That's like winning the lottery twice!"

"There are people that has won the lottery twice and I'm sure Santokki here will be able to get it!" Bom smiled.

"Y-yah, there's nothing going on between us. He's my sunbae of the music industry and I'm his Noona from YGE. Don't think more of it." Dara pointed out.

"You're thinking too much into it, girls." Dara added,"Enough about me. CL, Seungri?"

CL turned red. The girls snickered.

"YAH, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. I'M NOT-! STOP LAUGHING AT ME!"
