And he came, two minutes later, cell phone ready in his hand. "Okay, tell me exactly what happened." he said, relatively calmly. Everyone turned to Taeyang, who looked up at their manager, tears still sliding down his cheeks.

"I . . . I thought he was asleep. B . . . but then I noticed the g . . . gun on the f . . . floor . . ." at this point, he totally broke down, incapable of saying anything else. He covered his face with his hands and bowed his head.

Their manager took a deep breath. It was obvious that he was trying not to freak out on them, not when they were so scared. "Okay. I want the four of you to go out to the car. Help Young-Bae, we'll take him to the hospital for shock. I'm calling the police." stepping carefully around the vomit on the floor, he entered the bedroom, already on the line with the police, who arrived a few minutes later with an ambulance in tow.

The police attempted to ask Taeyang to tell them what he saw, but he was unable to speak. He was still on the floor and hadn't moved. GD and Seungri, at a look from their manager, went over to him and took his arms. They gently pulled him to his feet and helped him walk outside.

As they made their was outside, they saw a huge crowd of people waiting, wondering what was going on. They'd been drawn by the police cars outside Big Bang's dorm. When the three of them made their appearance, everyone started talking, naturally assuming it was Taeyang who the trouble was about, as he was chalk-white, eyes bloodshot with wet cheeks. Cameras flashed.

They made their way through the crowd to their manager's car; Top catching up to them as they opened the door. Taeyang glanced back at the dorm as he was helped inside the car and saw their manager coming out, leading the way for the police officers. GD saw also and moved to block Taeyang's view of the stretcher being brought out with a body bag on top. Then the crowd really went nuts, assuming correctly that it was Daesung in it.

The stretcher was loaded onto the ambulance, which drove away. Big Bang's manager (Siwon) sidled into the car with the remaining four member and followed it to the hospital. The only sound in the car was Taeyang's ragged breathing.

They pulled into the hospital parking lot a few minutes after the ambulance did. Everyone got out as they brought the stretcher out of the ambulance. The others weren't quick enough to block Taeyang's view again and, looking at the black bag on the stretcher, he had to swallow another rush of nausea.

They made their way inside. "Are you okay, Young-Bae?" Top asked anxiously. Taeyang only kept his gaze on the ground and said nothing.

A few minutes later, Siwon was pulled aside.

Daesung had been declared dead by suicide.
