Pairing | Lee Seunghoon x Dara / Winner x Dara? xD
Requested by galleondreams

Winner hadn't gone on a vacation for awhile now. They were feeling a bit drained as well.

"Can we have the day off?" asked Mino to Seungyoon

"Well, you guys have been practicing really hard," he replied

"We can't neglect practice without YG's permission though," Seunghoon sigheds

"Such an obedient artist," Taehyun commented

"It's because he's a big YG stan," snickered Jinwoo

"He has a point though. How are we going to ask president?" Seungyoon scratched the back of his head

"What if we invite other labelmates to go?" suggested Seunghoon

"Ooh, Dara noona!" exclaimed Mino

"You are always bringing Dara noona around," Taehyun said

"Well, noona is fun to be with," Jinwoo defended Mino

"Let's ask all of 2NE1. I don't want them thinking we are biased," Seungyoon stepped in

"But we are," mumbled Taehyun.

Mino was already on his phone calling their Dara noona.

"Where should we go?" thought Jinwoo aloud

"Not somewhere too expensive," answered Seungyoon

"We should just eat out and watch a movie," insisted Taehyun

"Sounds good. Like what friends normally do," Seungyoon liked the idea.

Mino then got off the phone.

"Noona said yes! AND GET THIS, she will take care of asking president," Mino pumped his fist in the air

"You are too excited," Seunghoon put Mino in a headlock

"Only Minzy and her can come along though," Mino struggled

"Right, Chaerin noona is still in LA and Bom noona..."

"Well, let's get ready."

The five boys hurriedly showered one by one and dressed up for the day ahead of them. 

When all of them finished preparing, they headed out to the location of 2NE1's dorm. Seunghoon was more excited than the rest. 

"What movie should we go see?" Jinwoo asked

"Not romance," Taehyun blurted

"That would be awkward," said Mino

"There's that new animation movie," Seungyoon stated

"Ahh, Big Hero 6, right?"

Seunghoon knows that Seungyoon was excited about that movie but was just playing it cool. He didn't want to break the leader's playing it cool image. He was just thrilled to be going out again with them, and with Dara even though it seems that he is the least closest to her. 

"We're here," Mino told them.

On cue, the girls opened their doors.

"So in sync," Seunghoon was amazed.

The boys greeted Minzy first before their Dara noona. Seunghoon's eyes lingered a bit longer on Dara. 

"How is it that noona is still glowing although she is wearing simple clothes?" Seunghoon suddenly said

"This guy is so cheesy," Taehyun mumbled

Dara giggled at Seunghoon's compliment

"Thank you, Seunghoon,"

"And you too, Minzy. You are blooming," he added, not wanting to be rude

"Our Minzy-yah is blooming, isn't she?" Dara put her arms around Minzy

"Unnie," Minzy blushed

"She's becoming more and more like a lady," Dara added.

After their greetings, the whole crew chose to ride in Dara's car. However there was a fuss on who was to sit up front.

"Shotgun!" yelled Mino

"Hey, isn't it rude to not let Minzy ride front?" Jinwoo said

"Why are you so nice?" Mino glared at him

"It's okay, oppa. I get to ride in Dara unnie's car often. It's your guys' first time, right?"

"You are all lucky Minzy is nice," Jinwoo pointed out

"Well, shotguuuun~" Mino was being a baby

"That's no fair," Seunghoon spoke up

"You too?" Jinwoo looked at Seunghoon

"Well, it would be nice," 

"You two fight it out then," Seungyoon told them

"I want in too," Taehyun raised his hand

"Children," Jinwoo shook his head

"Hurry up, you guys," Dara told them as she looked at her watch, "Or else we'll be late for our movie,"

"Rock, paper, scissors!" Mino yelled for the nth time

"You have no chill, man," Seunghoon covered his ears

"Game," Taehyun was in position

"We'll be the judge," Minzy claimed

"Rock, paper, scissors," chimed Dara and Minzy.

Both Mino and Taehyun had scissors while Seunghoon was holding out rock.

"Yes!" he broke out dancing

Dara laughed at Seunghoon's cute victory dance. 

"Hip hop lion, let's go," Dara told him.

Noona just called me hip hop lion. She's only called me Seunghoon before. I take it that we are getting closer. Seunghoon stuck his tongue out on Mino and Taehyun before getting in the passenger side.The car ride was quite obnoxious with music blasting, the boys trying to sing louder than the singer, Mino trying to make Minzy dance while seated and Dara laughing hysterically at the younger ones' antics.

"This night is great," Dara tried to stop laughing

"You really think so?" Seunghoon looked at her

"Yeah, it's always great hanging out with friends,"

"So we are friends?"

"Of course we are, Seunghoon," Dara took a glimpse at him.

He remained a quiet but the the grin on his face remained on his face throughout the rest of the ride. 

A few minutes later, the group arrived at Se7en's restaurant. Se7en had promised Dara before he left for the military that she could get a 20% discount whenever she visited the restaurant. 

"We are very much excited to see Se7en hyung again," one could hear Seungyoon talking

"Noona, is it okay if I sit with you?" Seunghoon asked

"Of course."

Throughout their dinner, Seunghoon got to converse with Dara, more than the usual. Mino and Taehyun couldn't possibly compete because they were too busy chowing down on their food. Seunghoon couldn't help but observe how happy Dara was.

"You really love your friends, noona," he let out

"With no doubt," 

"Since we are friends, you must love me too," he teased

"I guess I can't argue with that," she smiled before taking a spoonful of her food.

Even if we are not so close, noona still cares for me all the same. It's a relief to know. 

"We should all take a picture," Dara stated

"Let me take it, noona," volunteered Mino.

Dara handed her phone and monopod to him.

"Scoot in closer everybody," Seungyoon said

"Seunghoon hyung, you are too far," Mino told him

Seunghoon shyly scooted closer to Dara and as Mino pressed the button to capture the photo, Seunghoon slyly put his hand on Dara's shoulder and grinned like a fool. Jinwoo and Taehyun has put their arms around noona before. It should be no big deal if I do it, he thought.

"Let's see it," Jinwoo took the phone away from Mino

"Hey, I haven't seen it yet," he whined

"We're right next to each other," Jinwoo said

"Seunghoon hyung's got his hand on noona's shoulder," pointed out Mino

"What? Why are you pointing that out?" Seunghoon stuttered

"Because you are a cheesy, flirt," Taehyun answered for Mino

"You guys have done it! Why is it a big deal with me?" Seunghoon pouted

Dara and Minzy laughed at the conversation they were hearing.

"You two are not so close, that's why," explained Jinwoo

"Well, Dara noona says we are friends," 

"Don't have to get all so defensive. We're just teasing," Mino wriggled his eyesbrows

"Omo, he's blushing now," Minzy covered her lips to act surprised

"You guys," mumbled Seunghoon

"It's okay, hip hop lion," Dara consoled him, "I know there's no malice behind it."

The laughter continued, but Seunghoon was at ease after Dara comforted him. We are not that close yet, noona, but one day we will be.
