CHAPTER 72

GD went back home too but he can’t sleep. The other members are already sleeping in their rooms and GD is still widely awake. He is thinking of what to do just to make their worlds meet again. He is sitting on the chair in front of his computer. The lights are still on and the window curtain is glided to the side so the view outside is seen. He looked at it and sees the rising sun. 
He said “She might be awake now.” –he gets his phone and attempted to dial her number but he worried that she might need some longer rest so he just texted to avoid waking her up.

5:49 AM
“Good morning jagiya~ I’m back. How are you? I miss you so much ^.^”

He waited for her reply but nothing came. It only means that she’s not yet awake. He gets his notebook and writes something, the notebook that Teddy tried to see before. Haha. When he can’t seem to think of something to write, he snaps out of it then lied on his bed. The sun is already up when he felt sleepy. 

It’s already 6:15 AM, GD was now asleep.
Jiyong deserves some rest from all his hard works that he had done in Japan together with the members of Big Bang.


After 3 hours…

Time to wake up again…
Aw. They just had hours of rest. GD and the other members are now awake. They were to shoot the other clips for the ‘Shouting’ until the evening, then tomorrow, Kim Yuna and Trans Fixion will already be working with them. Big Bang worked hard for today’s session. They had a lot of takes in every shoot that they try to film. 
Big Bang had this conversation again while they’re heading to the other venue for the other scene on their ‘Shouting’ clip.

Taeyang said “This kind of day…I missed this.”
“Yeah. It’s been a while since we last work together on the same project.” –Daesung said.
“After GD hyung’s solo album, it all went out right again. Did you miss us hyung?” –Seungri said.
GD said “It’s embarrassing, but yes.” –Hahaha!
TOP said “Why did you say so?”
“Working on solo is not the same from working with Big Bang. Yes, as a solo artist, I can put out all my thoughts, I’m free to everything because it’s only me and myself working on it but it’s sad when you’re alone. Unlike when I’m with Big Bang, we can have fun like this so I wasn’t able to feel too much stress because I’m enjoying it.” –Aww =)
“Don’t you enjoy your individuality?” –Daesung asked.
GD replied “I enjoyed it but not like this. Right now, I can go clubbing and there are no too much restrictions so I’m having fun after my solo activities too.”
“Perfect!” –Seungri said.
“I’m afraid to go solo now.” –Taeyang said. Hahaha! Taeyang will be the next to have solo activities, ‘second’ solo activities, that’s why.
GD laughed. He said “But it is fun! It’s fun too. It’s a great experience.”
“Yeah, being accused and in for so many issues are really a great experience, right?” –TOP said. LOL!
They laughed to that. GD just laughed to it also. Anyway it’s from the past already so all he can do is look back to his stupidity last year and laugh it off.
They continued talking until they were called to shout already. They shoot outdoors and indoors too. They will still have a part 2 for tomorrow. They will be dismissed later in the evening. For sure they will be dead tired that time again. They’re loving it because they’re doing it together so it kind of pays off.


Later, after they shoot all the videos for today…


They were on the way home through the van.
GD checked his phone and saw that there’s a message from Dara.

“Jiyong-ie! I miss you too! Ah~ I’ll be in the YG today.”, and as he saw from the time when it was sent, it was 10:03 AM, so it’s so hoursss ago.

GD thought “Agh! I didn’t see this! Is she still in the YG now?”
Subsequent to that, Big Bang’s van has already arrived in their dorm and they’re about to go out when GD said “Driver. I’ll go to the YG now.”
Big Bang looked at him and said “What?”
“You go home and I’ll go to the YG.” –GD said.
“Why? What are you going to do there?” –Taeyang said.
GD said “K—Kush…Kush told me to go.”
TOP said “But Kush…he’s not around in YG and he said that he won’t be around for the whole day, who are you going to meet there?” –Haha! Nice TOP!
GD said “He—he just texted me that he’ll go now, maybe he changed his mind about that. I’ll meet him now.”
TOP said “I don’t believe you. Kush doesn’t usually change his mind.”
“Then Teddy! Yanggaeng! Anyone! Just move out! I’ll go now!” –GD said. Hahaha!
TOP, Daesung, Taeyang and Seungri go out from the van and they kept on murmuring about GD.
Daesung said “I think hyung is having a secret business without us.”
Taeyang said “What is it?”
“I don’t know. That’s why it’s a secret!” –Daesung said. Hahaha.
GD said “Good night! Bye!” –slides the door then closed it.

The van already moved and goes away…

TOP said “He loves hiding something. Jiyong is the type of guy who hides something in his self but kept on telling everything about others, even the private things from us! He used to spill it out. He is also sometimes a talker.” –Haha.
“Yeah. I think I just saw something before from what he’s trying to hide…… I think I know something about what’s going on.” –Seungri said.
TOP and Daesung said “What is it?”



On the other hand…

The van where GD is riding was near the YG building already. 
He thought “I hope she’s still there.” –so he’s going there to see Dara. Aww…

As the van reached the parking lot, GD goes down and gets in the building already.
He saw Teddy on the cafeteria, eating his early midnight snack.
Teddy saw GD so he stood up and said “Yo man~ since when did you all come home to Korea?”
“Yesterday hyung.”
They did their own handshake.
“Where’s everyone hyung?”
“Why? What do you expect? Do you have an idea what time it is?” –Teddy said while smiling.
GD looks at his watch and said “It’s 11:15? PM?”
“They’re all home by now.”
“Why?”
“Why ask ‘why’? They’re not as workaholic as you do so…”
GD laughed and Teddy laughed too. GD said “I get it.”
“So how’s Japan?”
“We’re done shooting the video. It’ll be released in May.”
“Oh…You all did very well?”
“I don’t know.” –he laughs.

---Awkward silence---


GD said “Okay. Maybe yeah, we did very well.” –LOL!
Teddy laughed hard. Then he said “Ah by the way, I forgot…2NE1 are still in the dance room. Everybody’s not yet home. Haha.”
“What? Why are they there?”
“They just came from a performance lately and they still won’t go home.”
“Why?”
“Stop asking why. I don’t know everything. I’m just eating here.” –Hahaha! Good point!
“Haha. Okay then…enjoy eating. I’ll go around.”
“Don’t you want to eat?”
“I’m full. No thanks ^^”
“Aight.”

GD leaves the cafeteria and he’s going to the recording studio.
He thought “I should be going to the dance room now to where 2NE1 is but why is it that I kept on walking on the way to the recording studio?”

He opened the door on the recording studio and he was paused when he saw Dara wearing a hoodie and sleeping on the couch. Kyaaah!

It was an overall silence inside. He slowly closed the door and tried his best not to wake her up. He felt so blissful to see her face once again! Haha.
He thought “So that’s why I’m going here…” then smiled.
He sits on the chair and stares at Dara while she’s peacefully sleeping from the couch. Good thing they’re alone in the studio so GD was able to do that. 

He thought “I really missed her…Right this time, I don’t want to look away, I just want to stare at her until she gets wake.” –Aww =)

He isn’t talking…he’s making no sound. He thought again,
“If this will be the thing that I’ll see every after a tiring day… for sure it will be all worth it...”
Then on the other side of his mind, he’s saying “If I didn’t wake her up then she won’t see me and also…I can’t talk to her.”

So he thinks for seconds…

And he finally decided. He talked “Dara.”
But Dara didn’t get awake so GD said again, “Dara.”

Suddenly, Dara heard a voice so she thought “Am I dreaming? Did I really hear his voice? Is he already here? Is that…Jiyong?” , she’s still closing her eyes when she thinks of that. After it, she slowly opens it and…
He saw Jiyong’s face just right in front of hers. She smiled instantly and said “Oh!! Jiyong! It’s really you!”
GD’s smiling. He said “Ah! I missed your voice! I’ve never heard of it for a couple of weeks.”
Dara ogled at him and said “Woaah-hoh…You look different now.”
“I just styled my hair a bit. Yah~ why are you sleeping here alone? 2NE1 are in the dance room!”
“I feel so tired…you know that I easily get tired. Since no one’s occupying this room, I came here to stay in a quiet place and rest. This…this couch really makes me want to sleep on it, until now.”
“Oh…*chuckles* I see…”
Dara sits down and said “Uhh…How long have you been here?”
“In Korea or here inside the studio?” –Haha!
“So you’ve been here inside the studio for so long? What are you doing?”
“Do I look like I’m doing anything when you woke up?”
“You’re just looking at me.”
“Exactly.” –Aww =)
Dara smiles and said “How about when you came here in Korea?”
“Yesterday, we are already here. ^^”
“Ahh…Ye I heard you visited our apartment…CL told me.”
“Yeah but you’re sleeping and I decided not to bug you off.”
“I always wasn’t able to answer your messages and see you…for the reason that I’m sleeping! I’m sorry.”
“One time, I go home and they said you’re in your house and you got problems, so it’s not always.” –Haha!
Dara laughs. GD sits beside her. Now, they’re sitting in the same couch. 
They got a little bit awkward.
GD said “How are you?”
“I’m okay. You? How are you?”
“I’m also…okay ^^”
“Ahh…”
“I missed you.”
“I missed you too.”

*awkward silence again*


Seconds later…

“You want to hug?” –GD said. Hahaha!
“I’m okay with that.”
Then they hugged. LOL! After an awkward silence, here they go and letting it all out, of how they missed each other. Haha.
GD said “Ah! Aigoo! Okay I lied, I’m really not okay!...I’m tired…Ah~ jagiya~”
He said it with a smile on his face.
Dara said “You haven’t rested yet uh?” –while whisking his back.
GD said “I can’t sleep well because I’m still not seeing you.”
“Now you saw me already…can you sleep well?”
“I think I will…later!”
“I knew you were already exhausted.”
“How?”
“You’re not calling because you’re too busy but I completely understand that so nothing’s wrong.”
“I know nothing’s wrong, for you. But I’m really sorry.”
“It’s really okay.”
“Ya. Did you know that there are no days that you haven’t entered my mind? I feel like I’m dying when I’m not seeing you and hugging you like this.” –Cute Jiyong!
“Yeah…”
“Dara?”
“Ne?”
“Don’t you miss me too?”
“Why? How can you say that?”
“I can’t feel you.” –he wants her to hug him tighter! Haha!
Dara chuckles and hugged him tight. She said “Of course I did.”
“Now I can feel it. Haha. Jagiya~”
“Eh?”
“For a while, don’t lose grip to this embrace please.”
“Why?”
“I still want to feel that I’m really here together with you…. Let’s do this again because I missed you and….I love you….so much jagiya….so much.” – Awww=)
Dara just smiled from GD’s back without him seeing. Haha. She was moved from what he said. GD became silent after that.
Dara said “Uhh…Ji? Are you still awake?”
“Ye.”
“Oh…I thought you’re already sleeping back there.” –Hahaha.
GD laughs silently then he said “I can’t sleep here, silly.”
Dara also laughs and said “I just wanted you to know….that…I missed you too…Especially for the fact that you’ve become more handsome nowadays.” –LOL.
GD laughed out loud and said “Just because I look good?” –but he really does get it that Dara only means it as a joke. Haha.
Dara said “I missed that laugh.”
“I missed everything about you… All of it.” –Aww ♥
They just didn’t see each other for weeks and they already missed each other like they never did see each other for decades. Haha. They really can’t stand being separated for so long! =)

Then they loosened up at the same time then stared at each other’s eyes instead.
The ambiance feels like they’re going to kiss already. The studio went even quieter.
GD goes closer to Dara and Dara gets a little bit closer to him too. Waaa!!

Until…


GD hiccupped. He smiled after, finding himself funny in the middle of that situation. LOL! Cute!! Dara laughed to GD. GD said “I guess I need a lot of … *hiccups* water.”
Dara laughed and said “Yeah, I think you should (tries to imitate him in a funny way) *hiccups* drink!”
And GD laughed too. He said “Hey! *hiccups*” –LOL!
She said “Haha! Seriously, you need to drink. You can’t keep on doing that!”
GD stood up and gets vitamin water inside the studio and drinks. Thus, his hiccups stopped.


On the other side…

Inside Big Bang’s apartment…

Seungri continued what he’s saying to them, “Because I observed that…hyung…I think hyung is keeping something!”
“Aish! You’re always saying that since lately!! Can’t you just tell it to us?!!” –TOP said. Hahaha!
Daesung said “Yeah, we’re here since lately and you kept on saying, ‘I think I know something…’, ‘I think hyung is…’, ‘I know what’s going on!’ and anything else without telling us what exactly it is!!” 
So they’re hanging by a moment of excitement but they lose the thrill because Seungri keeps on not continuing the story of what he’ll say! Haha.
Seungri said “Take it easy hyungs. I think I---”
Taeyang said “Oh no. Please, not again!” –Hahaha.
Seungri continued “…saw GD hyung before.”
“What happened?” –TOP said.
“GD hyung was alone in his room…and he’s playing with Gaho. I think he’s a little bit angry to us, I mean to Daesung hyung, because he complains about Gaho so he got a little bit bitterness inside him now…so he wants to be alone.” –Hahaha!! You thought that it was already a GD to Dara thing uh. But Seungri’s idea turns the other way! LOL!
And TOP, Daesu
