CHAPTER 54

The sun already rises…

-On Big Bang’s dorm-

Taeyang was awake already. He saw Seungri on the couch as he went on the living room. He woke him up and said “Ya! Seungri-ah. Why are you sleeping here?”
Seungri was awakened. He said “The movie!” –the movie is still the thing on his mind. Haha!
“What?”
“Excuse me. You’re blocking the view hyung! I want to watch the movie!” –haha, because Taeyang is standing and blocking the TV from Seungri’s view.
Taeyang said “What are you saying? The TV is off! It’s already morning!”
Seungri sat down immediately and said “Omo!!! Really?!” –he looked around and he saw the sun is already up.
He lied again and said “Ahhhh!! I tried not to sleep to finish the movie from the TV then I didn’t succeed on doing it so! Ahh!!”
Taeyang said “Maybe there will be a replay of it.”
“But my effort! Last night!! Ahhh!!”
“Are you sure you’re trying to stay awake last night? But why do you have your blanket with you? It seemed like you’re ready to sleep instead.”
Seungri noticed the blanket wrapped around him and said “Oh! A blanket! I didn’t have this on before I watch!”
Taeyang said “You mean you didn’t put that on?”
“Yes!” –he sat down again.
“Hmmm.. Who lastly went home?”

They both think…

Seungri said “Oh! G-Dragon hyung!” –because he remembered the missed call he received lately early in the morning.
Taeyang smiled and said “So maybe, he did that. ^ ^”
Seungri said “Waaaahhh… I can’t believe that GD hyung has his concern to me! That’s heart warming! Aigoo~” –Awww =)


On 2NE1’s dorm…


Dara was the first one who’s awake. She happily cooked for their breakfast.
Until they’re all awake. They proceed to the kitchen,

Bom said “Hul?”
[NOTE: “Hul” is a kind of expression in Korea, which is likely to the term “Oh my gosh”]

Dara smiled and said “Annyeong haseyo! (Good morning!) Bommie-ah! Minzy-ah and Chaerin! Let’s eat! ^ ^”
The three of them wondered what’s with her high spirit today. They sat on the chairs.
CL said “Unnie, you’re full of energy uh? What did you eat?”
“I’m not yet eating! I’m waiting for you all!”
Minzy said “You’re still not eating, but you’re completely energetic!”
Dara said “*chuckle* I’m happy!”
Bom said “Why? What happened?”
“Nothing. I’m just really happy today.” –she said.
Minzy noticed something. She said “Oh! What’s that on your finger? A ring? Aigoo! Are you getting married?”
Dara giggled and said “Aniyo~! He…… he gave this to me. But please, let’s keep this as a secret again, okay? Actually it’s a secret between us but I can’t help to say it!”
“Really? When did he give it to you?” –Bom said while smiling too.
“Lately… After the party.”
“Oh! That’s just hours ago?!” –Bom said.
Minzy said “That’s lovely! So are you two, together? I mean, for real?”
“No.”
“What? He gave you a ring and you’re both still not?” –Bom said.
Then Dara noticed CL who became silent on the corner.
So she just said “No…it’s still…Uhh… How about we eat this already?” –she laid the plates in front of them and tried to change the topic.
Minzy said “Hmm~ This looks tasty! It is just perfect for the cold weather outside!”

They started eating what Dara cooked for them.
CL remained quiet after the topic of the ring has started. Aw. It might still hurt for her.
CL’s silence bothered Dara’s mind so she said “CL-roo~ how’s the food?”
CL is still chewing and Dara is waiting for her to say something about it.
Then after she swallowed it, she said “Great! This tastes nice.”
Dara smiled and put her hands together. She said “Perfect! Thanks 2NE1!”
Bom said “But I think this will taste better with corn!” –LOL! Bom really loves corn!
Dara smiled and said “Next time, I’ll treat you!”
Minzy said “But unnies, you’re not allowed to eat corns!”
Dara said “It’s bad if we’ll deprive ourselves with foods, we’ll eat it sometimes too.” –Aw. Lessons that she learned from GD =)
CL said “We don’t want to be scolded by Hwangssabu(Health instructor/manager of 2NE1) again, so just keep it low…”
“Okay!” –Dara said.

They continued eating…
Then after they ate, they were informed that they’re going to have a practice for their upcoming performances.
They went to the YG after…

Big Bang members are also there but only for temporary.
They’ll be back on their dorm later too. They just went there for a meeting.
Big Bang and 2NE1 meet each other.

Daesung said “Oh. 2NE1~!”
Minzy said “Oppas! ^ ^”
TOP said “You’re going to practice, ne?”
“Yes.” –Bom said.
CL said “Where’s GD oppa?”
Taeyang said “He’s still sleeping as of now.”
Dara said “Ooohh… He must be so tired yesterday.” (from the concert)
Seungri said “Yes. It’s all his effort. Hyung must rest.”
CL said “So you’re also here to practice?”
TOP said “No. we’re actually leaving now, we just had a meeting so we’re going home.”
“Oh… Is that so… we’re about to practice now, so…” –CL said.
Seungri said “Yes. Good luck! Take care of yourself… I mean, yourselves!”
Daesung said “Yourself? Only CL?” –Haha. He’s teasing him.
Seungri said “Ani~! Just go. Bye. We’re leaving!” –he walked away first. Haha!
Taeyang said “Ah… You go home, I’ll stay.”
“Why? Where are you going?” –TOP said.
“I’ll go to the gym.” –Taeyang said.
Daesung said “Okay. We’ll leave now huh? Bye.”

They left the YG except Taeyang.
Taeyang was left together with 2NE1.
Bom said “Youngbae really loves to working out.”
YB smiled and said “I have to maintain…and---”
CL said “Maintain! That’s right! Maintain!” –she’s referring to Bom and Dara about their eating habits. Haha!
2NE1 laughed.
Bom laughed too. She said “Dara is unfair! We eat an equal amount of food but I always gain more and she doesn’t even gain some.”
Minzy said “I think it’s a sign unnie. You should stop!” 
Bom said “Aigoo! No… I can’t live a day without it.”
Taeyang said “I’ll buy you corns later.”
“Oh. Youngbae. Really? Wow~ Thank you.”
“Yes. But don’t tell anyone that it came from me. Alright?”
“Ne! Araesso!”
“ ‘Cause I’ll be dead to Hwangssabu hyung.” –he smiled.
Dara chuckled and said “We won’t let you.”
Taeyang looked at Dara and smiled. He said “Phew. Thank you!”
CL said “So oppa…we’ll be practicing now. ^ ^”
“Oh. Okay. Good luck again.”
“Ne.” –CL said, then they started walking away.

Taeyang goes to the gym and works out.
2NE1 is currently practicing…

-Back to Big Bang’s dorm-

They just arrived after buying foods somewhere for them to eat for their lunch…
After they went in…
Seungri said “Ay~ Hyung! Lately, you kept on teasing me to CL! It will disgust her more and me too!” –talking about what happened lately when Daesung .
“Why are you so affected to that?” –Daesung said.
“…because it’s gross!” –Haha.
TOP said “Ya. You two! Let’s eat these while it’s still hot!” –he’s on the table.
Seungri said “Yeah~ Ahh~ it’s perfect for the cold weather outside!” –just like what Minzy said lately. Haha.
He sat.
Daesung said “Where’s G-Dragon hyung?”
TOP said “Check him out.”
Daesung went to his room and checked him.
He caught him sleeping still… Awww =)
He went to the kitchen again and said “Hyung, he’s still sleeping. Shall I wake him up?”
“No. Don’t disturb him.” –TOP said. Aw. Sweet hyung~
“It’ll be a different lunch since we don’t have GD hyung together with us.” –Seungri said.
“He needs to rest. Let’s just try to understand. He got his head on to work for almost 2 months. He never rests enough. Let him sleep.” –Daesung said.
TOP said “Aigoo… No one’s going to tick us off then. =( ” –they’ll miss him because Jiyong loves to scold and nag every time.
Seungri said “And by the way, hyung. I heard the screening of ‘Iris’ is getting near!”
“Yes. It is, but the shooting will continue. Later, after this, I’ll shoot again.”
“Hyung. How about you? We’re free today! So it means that there are no more restrictions, we could go anything we want!”-Seungri said to Daesung.
“Yes! It’ll be a long break! I want to go around and have fun in Seoul!” –Daesung said.
Seungri said “Aiingg. You know we can’t do that.”
“That’s the main problem, but I really want to do that ever since!” –Daesung said.
TOP said “After ‘Iris’, let’s do that!”
“Yes! I want to visit clubs!” –Seungri said.
“Girls? Hook-up party?” –Daesung said.
“No. I just want to meet more people.” –Seungri said.
TOP said “Seungri always seeks for attention, right?”
Daesung said “Yes! I got to agree on that. And that’s recognizable!” –Hahaha!
Seungri said “Ani~ Ani! I just want---”
“Oh Seungri, we’ve been living together for so many years so we’ve known you a lot.” –TOP said.
Seungri said “I’m popular. That’s what I want to realize.” –Haha! There! He just said it! LOL
Daesung and TOP laughed. TOP said “Eat the foods then you’ll be popular.” –Hahaha. He means ‘Let’s just keep on eating. Forget about that.’
Seungri muttered on the other side and said “Someday……Someday!” –LOL! Planning revenge? Haha.


While they’re happily eating…


-Inside GD’s bedroom-

It was all like “………………………………….” –(silence)
Hahaha. He’s sleeping very deeply! He had no idea what’s going on. Aww. He’s like a baby, silently sleeping on the bed of his room.


Many hours later…


-Back to the YG-

2NE1 just finished practicing…
Dara went to the dressing room and changed clothes. She’s ready to go home but she went to the gym first to see Taeyang.
As she opened the door of the gym, she caught Taeyang who doesn’t have his shirt on.
She was shocked. She quickly looked back and said “Sorry! Sorry! I didn’t mean that! Sorry, I didn’t knock first.”
Taeyang said “Noona! This is a gym, not a bathroom. So this is just normal. Wait! I’ll wear my shirt on then…”

Seconds later…

“There.” –he said.
Dara looked back and said “Aigoo. I’m really sorry for that.”
“No. No! It’s okay! Why did you go here anyway?”
“I just wanted to ask if you’re going home already?”
“Uhh… No, why?”
“Because I’m leaving…”
“Oh. You are? I’ll go with you, may I?”
“Me? I thought you’re not yet going home?”
“Are you free?”
“Yes.”
“I thought we can go out anytime we want? Last night, you can’t. And you’re free today, so… can we?”
“Ah! That one! *smiles* Sure!... but where?”
“I heard you loved to eat.”
“That’s right.”
“Let’s eat then!”
“Ooohh! That sounds awesome! Let’s go!”
“Wait, I’ll just change my clothes.”
“Okay.”

Taeyang changed clothes. Then they walked outside of their building while wearing a jacket and shades for disguise.

It’s afternoon…

Taeyang said “Let’s go to a restaurant.” 
“What? But, the fans…”
“What about them?”
“This is public.”
“I thought you’re hungry?”
“Yes. I am.”
“Then we have to eat no matter what.” –Aww =)
They find a restaurant, then after they saw one… Taeyang said “I’ll go buy foods for us. You stay here outside, okay?”
“But…what if something happened to you inside?” –Haha, because there are a lot of fans inside so they’ll have a riot when they saw Taeyang who is a celebrity! Haha.
“Stay there. I don’t care of what will happen to me. I’m doing this for you.” –Aww. How sweet!!
He entered the restaurant. Dara stayed outside while nervously thinking about what will happen to Taeyang inside.
She thought “Ahh! He’s crazy! Aigoo~ Aigoo!” –she can’t stay calm outside but since there’s a lot of people outside too, she couldn’t stay acting uneasy because someone will notice her so she pretended and acted like an ordinary girl outside.


She waited… without anyone noticing her. Haha! Really a good actress!


Until she heard hysterical screams from the inside. She chuckled and thought “Omo! Haha! I think they just recognized him!” 
She’s smiling, listening attentively to the sounds from the inside and imagining what’s already happening inside.
Then she suddenly saw Taeyang who just went outside. 
He yelled “Please stop them.” –he said it to the guards of the restaurant, and so the guards stopped the fans who are following him. 

As he went outside… his jacket looked like a lot of people really pulled it! LOL!
He was holding foods in his hands then looked at Dara.
Dara laughed at him. She said “Hahaha! I told you, you shouldn’t have gone inside!”
Taeyang just looked at the foods in his hands then to her. He said “Foods?” –then invites
