2007

A 19 years old Jiyong and 17 years old Chaerin are in dance studio, Jiyong is teaching Chaerin some dance move he recently learn. They have been working at it for the past hours, Chaerin is very enthusiastic in learning new things, reason why Jiyong and the other boys of Big Bang love’s teaching her whatever they have learn.

Ever the perfectionist both Jiyong and Chaerin are practicing like it going to be part of their performance. When they are able to finish the dance both are now resting on the floor with their back on the mirror wall.

“Oppa! That’s was great move, thanks for teaching me!” Said Chaerin but despite it Chaerin was looking a bit down

“Hey! Why look sad?” ask Jiyong while putting his arm around Chaerin shoulder.

“Since you guys have debut and you don’t have time for me anymore” cried Chaerin while hugging Jiyong side

“Aigoo, yes we will be busy but if ever you need me, just let me know and I will go to you as soon as I can” promise Jiyong

“Oppa I will always be your baby sister right?” ask Chaerin

“Cherinah will forever be my baby” said Jiyong

Just then Cherinah phone has ringed, she went to get and just by looking at caller id, Chaerin has become giddy making Jiyong curious, after the call she went back to Jiyong.

“Who were you talking to?” ask Jiyong

“It’s Mike” Chaerin giddily replied

“Mike one of the trainees?” ask Jiyong

“Yes, he ask me to go out after practice, we are done right Oppa?”

“Wait, since when are you two going out?” asked Jiyong

Oblivious to Chaerin, Jiyong is raging mad of this new information. Chaerin has never informed him that she is dating anybody.

“Just recently Oppa, he suddenly asks for my number last week and we are getting to know each other now. I never dream somebody will ask for my number, maybe to Dara and Bom unnie but never to me.” Chaerin looking really happy telling the story

“Why would you think that, if they didn’t ask for it it’s their lost and not yours?” said Jiyong

“Thank you Oppa, you’re really are my big brother.” Chaerin hug Jiyong again

“You should not be dating, you should be focus on your training” said Jiyong seriously

“But Oppa he will be my first suitor and I want to be able to experience it all before debuting” explain Chaerin

“I don’t like the sound of that” said Jiyong looking worriedly to Chaerin

“Don’t worry Oppa, I will not do anything bad” Chaerin explain

“I will just have a talk with Mike then” said Jiyong decidedly

“Why Oppa?” ask Chaerin

“Just a man to man talk, everyone who want to court you, I mean you girls will have to go through us first.” Said Jiyong

“Oppa, you cannot be too strict on us, Bom and Dara unnie need to have a life too you know” explain Chaerin

“It’s dangerous for you guys, there will be scandal and you don’t need that early in your career. “ Jiyong retort

“Don’t scare him off Oppa, please” plead Chaerin

“If he got scared easily then he’s not worthy of you” said Jiyong while hugging Chaerin again

“Oppa at this rate I will not have any boyfriend till I got old” moving away from Jiyong’s hug while pouting

“You’re still young don’t be in a hurry” holding on to Chaerin hands

“Yes Oppa, but I would still like to go on a date tonight, please Oppa I already said yes, please, please, please” Chaerin pleaded

“Alright, but you need to text me where you are going, what are you doing and once you reach home. If you do not text me or reply to my text I will come and get you, understand” said Jiyong

“Yes Oppa, thank you, see you tomorrow!” Chaerin shouted while waving and  running to the door.

All Jiyong could do is shake his head, for him Chaerin is to young and only guys that he knows that will love only her is worthy of her love. In the meantime he will make sure that all guys will be banned for courting Chaerin.

After leaving Chaerin, Jiyong went to meet YG about Big Bang new album.

“Hyung, I have written a song called Hot Issue, can I have Chaerin feature on it?” ask Jiyong

“Let me hear it first and I’ll see if it’s good to be included, if not then try to have some other trainees try it as well.” Said YG

“Yes, hyung, hyung when are you planning to debut them?” ask Jiyong

“I don’t know yet, Chaerin coming in has changed my original plan, let see how well they will work and sound together then I can decide then.” stated YG “Is there anything else you are curious about?” ask YG

“Hyung, maybe we should put dating ban to the girls once they debut” Jiyong suggested

“And why should we? I didn’t even ban you guys” said YG

“But hyung they are a girl group, it will be harder for them as many will be trying to create scandal for them. If it does announce that they have dating ban, no one will try to court or create scandal.” Said Jiyong

“But knowing those girls if they know they will have a dating ban when they debut they may not go in the relationship now to avoid break up on their debut.” YG remarked

“It will go right hyung, they won’t get distracted?” said Jiyong

“Alright, I’ll think about it, but let me hear the songs you have created first before meddling with Chaerin love life.” Said Jiyong

“Hyung, I’m not meddling and it’s not just Chaerin it’s for all the girls” exclaim Jiyong

He’s a bit embarrassed having been caught by YG with his purpose.

“Go and do your work” said YG

“Yes Hyung” bowing to YG and running out the door

YG cannot do anything but just shake his head. Jiyong must have not thought that the dating will also include him and not just guys outside of YG.

YG just hope that this will not cause him problem in future.

Jiyong and Youngbae are at walking around in Hongdae while wearing few disguises. Having debuted last year they are relatively popular. They are now in preparation in their new album and they should be at the studio working on it rather than out here stalking Lee Chaerin date.

“Jiyong, what exactly are we doing?” ask Youngbae while trying to cover his face

“Chaerin told me they will be in Hongdae but she hasn’t replied where in Hongdae and we need to be able to find her. I need to make sure she will be fine.” said Jiyong

He then spotted Chaerin with the guy entering a coffee shop.

“There they are, come one” said Jiyong, he then grab Youngbae arm and they headed to the coffee shop.

 Jiyong and Youngbae slowly make their way in the café, they sat a couple of sit away from Chaerin.

The guy went to the counter to get Chaerin coffee, Chaerin was texting on her phone and was not able to see the guy flirting with the female barista. Jiyong having seen it was beyond furious and would have approach the guy if it’s not for Youngbae holding him back.

After filtering the guy then proceeds to bring their coffee and cakes to Chaerin, who is really happy seeing the cake.

“Oppa, thank you so much but please don’t tell Hwangbu as we are not allowed to eat cakes.” Plead Chaerin

“Of course but this will be your last cake, Hwangbu is right you need to lose few pound.” Said the guy

Chaerin was taken aback but decided to keep quiet and not answer back. She then proceeds to eat the cake and smiling to the guy. After a few minutes the guy was again sweet to her and trying to engage her in telling things about her.

While a couple of table away, Jiyong was really fuming and wanted to end Chaerin date. He then decided to text Chaerin and asks what she’s doing and if she’s having fun.

After a few minutes, Chaerin replied that she’s in a coffee shop and she’s having fun, which make Jiyong all the more furious.

“Calm down Jiyong, Chaerin will probably notice us with all your noise” said Youngbae

“Does she look like she’s having fun? Why is she telling me she’s having fun” said Jiyong angrily

“Maybe she doesn’t want to worry you” said Youngbae

“Bae, this made me question just how many times she’s withheld things from me.” Jiyong wanted to yell, pull his hair and just go and get Chaerin but he also want to avoid making Chaerin mad.

All throughout Chaerin date, Jiyong was just there waiting and watching. They have seen on multiple times the guy flirting with different girls, not being able to withstand it, Jiyong and Youngbae confront the guy when it went to the bathroom.

Holding on the guy shoulders both Jiyong and Youngbae are glaring at the guy trying to intimidate.

“I see you’re dating Chaerin” said Jiyong

“No, we are just going out as friends not a date” explain the guy

“tsk tsk tsk, you should never lie to us. You’re still a trainee and you’re already acting like a big shot”  said Youngbae

“Chaerin is a fun girl and we are just having fun together” the guy further clarify to Jiyong and Youngbae

“Stop talking, you’re just making me more mad!” yell Jiyong “I don’t want to see you near Chaerin, I don’t want you to be even looking at Chaerin. Understand!”

“Yes!” said the guy getting scared at Jiyong

As soon as the two let go of the guy shoulder, the guy immediately run.

“I never knew we’re that scary” Youngbae said laughing

Jiyong then take a deep breath and wash his hand, trying to calm his nerve before going out. He need to make sure that all Chaerin suitor will have get through him. Those kind of guy do not deserve Chaerin.

As soon as Jiyong and Youngbae went out of the bathroom, they saw Chaerin still sitting in the table and the guy was nowhere to be found. They decided to wait and see what Chaerin will do, they can see Chaerin looking around and texting someone but was still not leaving.

After 30 minutes, Chaerin then stand up and start to leave the coffee shop, however outside it has now started to rain. Not minding the rain, Chaerin just continue to walk away. Jiyong and Youngbae are now getting worried about Chaerin but before they can talk, Jiyong then run toward Chaerin.

When he caught up, he grab Chaerin arm to get her attention and look at her.

“Oppa!” Chaerin was surprised seeing Jiyong

Jiyong was surprised as Chaerin was not crying but she still looks unhappy.

“Why are you walking in the rain, where is your date?” ask Jiyong

“He left Oppa! He didn’t even said goodbye, he was just suddenly gone” Chaerin then begin to get teary “If he wasn’t happy he should have the decency to tell it to my face and not just leaving me behind. I actually saw him Oppa, he was flirting with another girl when I ask him he told me that girl was a friend of his sister and was only asking about her sister whereabouts, do I look gullible oppa?”

Chaerin is now crying, looking broken.

“I’m sorry Chaerin, I’m so sorry” said Jiyong while holding Chaerin

“You didn’t do anything oppa, I should have listen to you. For now on, I’ll let you talk to the guys who want to date me” said Chaerin

“Come on, let’s go home, you might get a chill. We still have to record tomorrow.” Said Jiyong  

“I’m going to record Oppa!” ask Chaerin excitedly, immediately forgetting her broken heart.

“Yes, YG agree to let me feature you to one of the song I’m making, I’m sure you’ll do well.” Explain Jiyong

“Really Oppa, are you sure? What’s the title?” ask Chaerin holding on to Jiyongs arm

“Yes, so let’s get you home and the title is Hot Issue, I’ll give you the lyrics tomorrow” said Jiyong while grabbing onto Chaerin hand then start to run in the rain.

With just a simple gesture from Jiyong, Chaerin has forgotten her broken heart and started to have fun running in the rain.

Later into the night, Jiyong was able to write a song titled LIES…
