CHAPTER 36

Daesung said “What’s done is done hyung. Let’s not talk about that, Okay?” –widely smiling while tapping Jiyong’s back and trying to calm him down.
Jiyong removes Daesung hands heatedly. He said “Then practice the steps on your own!”
“What!? Why?”-Daesung said.
“I’ll be leaving.”
“No hyung! But---”
Jiyong tapped Daesung’s shoulder and said “What’s done is done. Let’s not talk about that, Okay? *smiled* I’m done practicing! Bye~” –Hahaha! Returning what he said.
“But then we’ll just be 3 in this!”
“Silly! I’m just kiddin’ man~ Hahaha.” –then he turned back to them.
The three sighed in relief.

Jiyong chuckled. He said “*sigh* What could you do without me?” –LOL That was overconfident. Haha
Seungri said “Oh. There’s a lot actually!” –Hahaha. Searching for some battle again?
“Then what are those so called ‘lot’?” –GD said conceitedly.
“Oh we can go anywhere without you, just like lately.” –TOP said.
So GD paused for that but he’s still smiling, like a smiling frozen stone. Then he suddenly frowned, moves and said “That’s sick! Alright. Let’s go practice.”-then he stood up and went near the mp3 player to play the song. Haha. Like nothing was said? Like nothing happened. LOL
Then they go practicing… dancing the steps altogether.

On the other side…

Taeyang was awake already and currently eating together with Dara.
Dara said “I’m really sorry for what happened last night.”
“You don’t have to say sorry for that. I volunteered. That’s why I’m the one who’s supposed to say sorry because I make you worried. You still have your performance later, right?”
“Aniyo~ I have the rights to be worried because it’s my fault! And about the performance, Ne... I’ll leave later on…”
“Ohh... Let’s just not blame ourselves. Instead, I thank you for these fruits!”
“Ah. Oh, yeah. I bought them on my way up to here. I think I’ll die of guilt not buying something for you as a sign of gratitude~”
Taeyang sniggered and said “You don’t have to buy me anything actually. Having you here is enough.” –then he stared at her eyes.
Dara became uneasy for that look from him. She just smiled and said “Let’s eat?”
He smiled and said “Ne!”
Dara looked around his room and hesitates to say something… Taeyang noticed her odd actions. He said “What is it?”
“Ne?”
“Are you going to say something?”
“Oh! (combed her hair through her hands) Ahm... I was just going to ask you… Where are the other members?” –Haha. Are you really curious for where the members are? Or... GD alone? LOL
Taeyang said “Oh. That one? They are practicing now, too bad, I wasn’t able to come because GD told me not to.”
“GD? Why?”
“He said that I better stay home for today so I’ll recover easily.”
Dara thought “Aww… I never thought that he has that side.”
“So do you mean, they are all in YG, practicing now, and you’re left here alone?”
“Yes, definitely!”
“How could they leave a sick person alone? Now I see what’s good for you having me here.” –she said it funny so Taeyang laughed.
“Cute”
“Eh?”
“You’re cute.”
“I know… *she laughed then brushes her hair again with her hands*” –they are both laughing. Dara was a bit uncomfortable talking with Taeyang before so she’s trying to adjust to him by making funny gestures or jokes.
Then they spent the day talking to each other, while Taeyang was sitting on his bed and Dara was sitting on a chair beside Taeyang’s bed.

--On the YG bldg.—

Big Bang are done practicing. They sat and wiped their sweats.
Daesung said “Why are we practicing by the way? Are we having a performance again?” –Hahaha!
GD said “As far as I know, we’ll be performing tomorrow.”
“Oh, so that’s why!” –Seungri said. *wipes his sweats around his neck*
---Silence---
TOP said “Oh so Taeyang was left on our dorm, alone?”
“Ah! Then he’s even sick, right? How come we left hyung there?! ”-Seungri said.
“He could take care of himself and besides---” –GD said, he paused and then a flashback came into his mind, the scene wherein Dara came to their dorm for Youngbae. Well, that still hurts for him… a bit, I guess? :( 

“…besides, what?”-Daesung said.
GD smiled and said “Dara came, she said she’s there to take care of him. Leave it to her. She can handle it by herself!” –why smiling GD? Trying to pretend that it doesn’t hurt? Aww.

Big Bang looked at each other and smiled again.
GD saw that. He said “Yeah~ that’s right! Something might be up with them two!”
“Ahh! If he was sick and Dara will be the one in charge to take care… then I’d rather get sick too!” –TOP said.
Seungri said “Me too! Ah~ hyung! Will it snow tonight?” –Hahaha. Having plans to stay outside so he’ll be sick too like Taeyang.
GD said “Stop that. It’s not good, if you’ll all get sick then what about our performance tomorrow?”
“Are you really worried about that? Why did you change the topic immediately?*evil look*” –TOP said.
“Why?*clueless*” –GD said.
“Are you jealous to them two?”
“What? *closely from laughing* Me? That was a lame idea! I was the leader here so I couldn’t talk about things like that when we’re talking about a serious matter.”
“Oh come on hyung~ Dara noona is an irresistible girl and she’s a serious matter to us!” –Daesung said.
“Well I guess, I’ll just be performing in my own tomorrow.” –Haha. …because the boys don’t seem to pay attention to the practice…
GD became serious and said “Remember that we’re here to practice and we won’t want to bungle our performance tomorrow just by talking about her all day.”
Whoa. That is the spirit of a leader GD! The rest of them turned out quiet. Haha scared? LOL
……. Until Seungri said “Let’s call Taeyang hyung!”
“Great idea! Set the loud speaker so we, three, would hear it.” –TOP said.
Daesung said “For sure, Dara noona is still there! Ahh~ Go on! Call her immediately!”
GD said “Aissh. I can’t believe I’m talking to nobody here.” –hahaha! Yeah.
GD thought “What’s with these people, they acted like I didn’t say something! Aissh. How could I get rid of that topic!? I still can’t even get her out of my mind from what happened lately then here they come, mentioning her name again! Ahhh!”

Then the three are sitting on the floor, forming a circle while GD was on the other side, not joining them. Haha. 

All of them are quiet but GD doesn’t seem to mind about them. The three are so focused on Seungri’s phone which is calling Taeyang.
The room was full of stillness, only the ringing sound of the loud speaker phone which is on the center of them three.
After 8 rings…
“Yoboseyo?”
The three started talking in chorus.
Seungri said “Hyung! How are you?*joyful*”
TOP said “Yo, Taeyang! Wassup man?”
Daesung said “Get well soon hyung.”
And Taeyang was like “……….”
Hahaha. Until he said “Oookay? How should I start this?” –LOL, he didn’t know what to say for they all talked at the same time so he didn’t know what to answer first.
Seungri said “Are you okay now hyung?”
“Oh. Seungri-ah... Ne, I think I’m fine now~ why did you call me by the way?”
“Ayy. You’re sick, we’re worried!” -Seungri said.
“Well... that’s new.” –Taeyang said. Hahaha.
They laughed. Daesung said “Hyung! Could you really take care of yourself there?” –haha okay getting close to the target question Daesung. Haha
“Yes, I am. Did you finish practicing already?”
“Yeah oh, we just finished it by now.”
“Great! I think I’ll be able to rehearse with you all tomorrow. I’m now feeling a bit better than last night.”
“Ohh. That’s great!” –Daesung said.
TOP said “So you’re alone there, right?” –now, that’s the question! Good timing TOP ^^
All are waiting for his answer…
“Ah. Aniyo~ Dara noona took a visit here.”
“Dara of 2NE1? Really?!” –TOP said, haha acting like he doesn’t know anything! Good one!
“Neh.”
Daesung said “How come noona is there? Prove it!” –haha another good one Daesung! LOL
So Dara talked on the phone...
“Annyeong! ^^ That’s right. I’m here *chuckles*”
Taeyang also chuckled, and they heard that. Haha something suspicious is going on, they thought. LOL
“Why are you chortling there?”-TOP said.
“Because Dara noona waved on my phone when she said ‘Annyeong’, like she was waving at a camera or something…”
Dara giggled and said “Haha! Agh! Now you spilled it! Aigoo.”
And guess what, GD’s been listening to her voice secretly at the corner of the room. Haha, Hmm... I thought you don’t really mind GD. LOL
From the voices of Taeyang and Dara, they seemed to be having fun together and close to each other already.
“So... Dara noona was really there!” –Seungri said.
Dara said “Ne..^^”
Seungri said “What are you two doing there then noona?”
“Oh... that one? We’re just sitting here. How about you?”
“Ohh. We’re also sitting, we got exhausted after practicing, that’s why.”
Taeyang said “Ahh... Sorry if I wasn’t able to come now.”
“It’s okay. At least you’ve gone better by staying there hyung. We’re glad that we’ll be completed tomorrow!”
“Haha. Yeaah~ Dara noona is a good nurse.”
Dara said “Aniyo. I’m afraid of blood so I’m not.” –haha! She means it literally. LOL
So all of them laughed. GD just smiled but he’s facing back so Big Bang can’t see him smiling.
Taeyang said “Thanks for taking care of me by the way.”
“You’re always welcome ^^” –Aww. Kind words from Dara.
Taeyang said “Where’s Jiyong by the way? I didn’t hear his voice.”
Dara suddenly calmed down and became quiet, trying to hear his voice from YB’s phone which was also in a loud speaker.
Big Bang looked at GD which is alone at the corner of the room and GD also looked back. They were silenced. 
Until…

“I’m here.” –he said in a serious voice.
Dara was intensely listening…
Taeyang said “Oh. Jiyong! ^^ How are you?”
“I’m fine~ You said you’ll be able to perform tomorrow, Are you sure about that?”
“Yes. I think I am. I felt better now, thanks also for last night, man.”
“Haha. Araesso...”
“So you’re there since lately? Why aren’t you speaking up?”
“Maybe, just maybe! Because… Uhmm I don’t know, the members don’t listen to me?! I think!” –then looked at them three wickedly. LOL. That was sarcastic GD.
Taeyang chuckled and said “Patience, Jiyong.”
GD said “Well I don’t have that in this situation! I’m pissed off.”
“Hyung! Will you be able to go here later?” –Seungri said.
GD said “See?! They still don’t!” –haha. Still ignored?
Dara smiled for that. Taeyang laughed and said “Ne... I think I’ll be coming there later~ Jiyong, I
