Annyeong chingoos! We're nearing the end of 'Always' and I'm hoping you could show your support by commenting at the end of every chapter starting now. :) I've written the ending ages ago and I can't wait for you guys to read it! To those who were disappointed because of the last chapter, I implore you guys to see reason and to see this fic to the end. I prepared a big ending for you guys. I plan to end the story on Yoona's birthday and dedicate this whole story to her.

Also, my SNSD writing contest will stop receiving entries at May 30 (Yoona's birthday) so for those who are interested, you can still enter your stories :)

Meanwhile, please enjoy reading this chapter :)) REMINDER: This is before the divorce happened, okay?

6 days before the divorce… 2 days before the Big 3 concert…

“What?!” Young Bae hit his best friend on the shoulder, not too lightly. “Why are you only saying this now?! Are you dumb or something?”

“Hyung! What do you mean divorce?! Why would you even—“ Seungri pulled his hair out of annoyance.

“You are so hopeless, Kwon Ji Yong! I don’t understand why you would do that!” TOP slapped their leader. Yes, he slapped him. You know him, Choi Seunghyun, he can get away with everything.

“There are many ways to do this and you go with that idea?! There isn’t even a spoiled girl who’s following you around, right? Did Yoona notice that?” Daesung spoke last, as he was driving their car. They were heading to the Big 3 concert rehearsal when their leader decided it was time to tell them how he got their boss, Hyun Suk, to agree for a YinYang comeback three months ago.

“Ya! I was dumb and desperate, okay? You guys almost shunned me for my disappearance act three years ago! Imagine if I asked you to help me.. you probably would’ve locked me on my room the entire time Yoona is here in Seoul.” Ji Yong said, raising his hands up in surrender.

“Good thing you reminded us of that, hyung. The disappearance act.” Seungri exchanged a look with Young Bae and TOP.

“Daesung-ah, stop the car.” TOP commanded. “And lock the doors.”

Daesung parked at the side of the expressway and did as he was told.

“What’s happening?” their leader asked.

“What’s happening, Yonggie, is it’s time for you to tell us why you decided to hurt Yoona unforgivably three years ago.” Young Bae crossed his arms in an intimidating way.

Even Young Bae, his one and only best friend, didn’t know why he left Yoona. He never told anyone because it was a mistake, the biggest mistake in his life. Jiyong sighed. It’s time come clean. “Okay, but nothing leaves the car doors. No telling Yuri or any other person alright?”

They all nodded impatiently.

“When Yoona got discharged from the hospital that time, we both got two weeks of vacation. But the bosses called me in two days before that vacation was over.. it was at Hyun Suk hyung’s office. When I arrived, they were quiet. But like angry, raging monsters they were bidding their time…”

Yang Hyun Suk & Lee Soo Man were breathing heavily now and then finally, when G-Dragon least expected it, the YG President slammed his fist on his table loudly. He stared at Jiyong with angry, disappointed eyes.

“This is not something we talked about, Kwon Ji Yong!” YG said. “Do you remember the time you begged us to permit the two of you to marry? We had an agreement. And you did not honor that.”

Jiyong looked down. He remembered,
