I smiled to myself. Now we're even. His are more risky than mine. He can have and use my design and nothing will change. But a single click from me will bring the Dragon down. Wait. I just said to Chan Young I am going to bring the Dragon down. I laughed like crazy as I changed to jeans and plain shirt. I throw in huge sweater on top my shirt.

The guard let me in. I didn't know his studio. When I asked someone, she was looking at me up and down. wondering why I am looking for the prince's studio. She told me the direction and I didn't had hard time finding it. She said, I'll just let myself in so I am assuming he'll be late. I knock softly and turned the knob. I was a bit surprise to see someone on the table. He probably did not hear me coming in as his head phone was on his ears. "Hello," I wanted to get his attention. I just want to let my presence known. I don't want to intrude whoever... He turned. "You're.. You're here already?" that surprised me more. How the hell did he arrived that fast. I drove in like 15 mins.

If that look could kill, I was down seconds ago.

"It's 2 in the morning. What can't wait?" he asked in a formal voice.

"I don't sleep when I work." I opened my laptop and showed him the raw.

"I thought I made it clear that I wanted the one you design already,"

"You can't have all what you want," I shot back. This spoiled jerk. "I want to see your line up, the dances and switches of members,"

Jiyong's POV

I was working on the line up when I saw my phone blinking. That girl's calling. And she never stops. And no I am not answering the phone. Serves her right. She'll do what I want. Then a message came in. I opened and almost fell off my chair. How the hell.. Before I knew it, I pressed call.

"Meet me at the cafe in 30. I'll send the address." she didn't even said  hello. Such demanding.

"Ya! Where did you get the photo?" I shouted.

"Save the question for later and oh bring the file. I had the raw draft. Wait, did I interrupted a session?"  She was  mocking.

"Yes, you did," I answered without hesitation. "Just go to YG building. Get yourself in and I'll meet you in my studio. And you better have an explanation of that photo," I hang up pissed off.

She came less than half hour later. No greeting. No question asked about the file she sent. we went down to the project right away. We worked and talked nothing but the project. I swear I even doze off while she was busy with her computer. When I woke up, she was still glued in her computer.  I played Lies and I caught her singing alone.

"Darn," she cursed softly when she realized I caught her singing alone. "Sorry about that. What time the others are coming in? I want to see a rough practice before I work on this."

"6 the latest," I answered  and checked Young Bae's message.

"I'm going for coffee. Want one?" She got up.

"I'm coming with you," I turned off my computer and picked my cap.

She was looking at me seriously.

"What? I need something to eat before those rascals arrive." I said to answer her silent question.

She shrugged and picked her purse. "Any place you recommend near?" She fished for her car keys.

"Hop in," I invited her. I saw her hesitation but she hopped anyways. The cafe's just few minutes away. The boys and I love to hang out in there. The stores opens at 7 but we have access at the back door. The owner is usually up  by 3 makes us food. I parked the car at the back. "Comeon,"

"This is so public. Aren't you..."

"Nah. It's 4 am. No one is around but the owner's up. Tell you a secret; he makes the most delicious omelet in Seoul. Well, next to my mom," I pulled her as I opened the door. "Morning, Mr. Lee," I shouted. I know he is at the back baking.

He came out with all the flour covering his hand. "Morning Jiyong. What do you want for breakfast?" He moved to the sink and washed his hands.

"I was bragging about your omelet to this young lady here. Make it two and brewed coffee," I pulled a chair  and sat down.

"Hot chocolate for me," She corrected my order as she pulled a chair.

"You don't drink coffee?" I was amused.  She did not answer and just started playing with her phone. "So what's with this working at this time?"

She shrugged. "I work if I want to. I don't have definite time to work."

I nodded and I remembered the photo. "Where did you find that photo?" She looked at me. I cannot read her smile at all. She did not answer my question. "Ya! Tell me while I  am still asking you nicely,"

"I asked you nicely to give me back my file. I think I even begged you not to use the design for my mom. What made you think I will answer your question." she said expressionless.

I studied her face. It was empty. Blank. She's immovable. She is set not to answer my question but it is my life on the line. What else she got. Wait. Those were all in my phone. She hacked my phone? That's impossible. "You hacked my phone?"

"I have yet to learn that talent," she answered.

Before I could ask more our plate arrived. She looks starved the way she devoured her food. I watched her amusedly. No.Girl.Ever. ate ungracefully infront of the dragon. All of them ate beautifully and delicately. All wanted to impress me. But this girl infront of me. I'm not saying that she doesn't have the manner. She's well mannered. I can tell that she has perfect  table manners. It's just that she doesn't care a guy is infront of her. Not just your ordinary guy. It's Gdragon.

"Do I have something on my face?"

I was caught red handed. I laughed.

"You've been staring at me while I eat. You think I wasn't aware?"

"You have a hearty appetite. Girls don't eat their food to the last bite,"

"I guess I'm not one of those girls and besides the omelet was heaven," she said and checked her phone. "It's past 5. I don't want to get caught with  you. You go ahead. I'll find my way back to the studio."

I did not argue with her. I paid our bill and drove back to the studio. She arrived 10 minutes later after me. The boys were early today and were all gathered at the practice hall. I waited for her to gather her stuff and we headed to the practice hall without saying a word.

"Morning!" the energetic maknae greeted as soon as we came in.

"Good morning!" I heard her greeted the boys cheerfully. Did I missed something? Just a while ago she was in mute mode.

"Noona, can I have.. "

She cut the maknae. "Okay, I'll be working with you for the next 5 days. I have rules when I am working. Rule number 1: I hate interruptions. Put your phones in silent mode if am in the room working. Rule number 2: Only your songs will be played while we are working."

"That's not even rules. Those are given" I heard TOP said.

"Perfect. Rule number 3. I know you all smokes. I hate the smell. Please clean yourself before coming in. If it makes you out of the smell. drown yourself with perfume. I know you're all professional to do that.  What's your schedules today?" she asked me.

I stared at her. Did she just say she hated smoking? She was smoking in Jeju. Is she some kind of bipolar? "We have a recording at 11. So we have to leave here at 9. A fan signing at 4 and back here for practice." I run her or activities today.

She picked up her phone. I saw it blinking earlier but she ignored it. "Yeah. Can you put me at 3:30. I'll sure be there. Thank you." she hang up and faced us. "Ok get to work. We have an hour. I want to see the moves,"

I observed her while we practice. She's taking notes and playing with the mouse. From our movements I sneak a glance her once in a while. She's engrossed in her notes and to us.

"That's for today," I shouted when I saw the hour hand points at 8. We still have to shower and prepare.

"I am coming to your recording. I want to watch you perform." she said without blinking.

Taeyang and I looked at each other. Thinking the same thing. She's not a crew.

"Yah! I am part of this okay. I need to watch at least live one.  I might get other ideas. You think I just want to go just for the reason of going? Jeez," she rolled her eyes.

! Did she just read our mind? "Of course you're part of this crew. You're most welcome. We leave at 9."

"I'll be at the parking," she gathered her things and got up.

"Noona, let me help you," the maknae offered. She was struggling with her laptop bag, her purse and stack of folders.

"Thank you but I can manage. Just go prepare. See you in a bit," she walked out of the door.

"She's hardworking huh," TOP commented.

"She should. YG pays her a lot," I do not know it just came out of my mouth.

"Hyung, you don't have to be mean," the kind Dae Sung said.

"See you in 30," we all separated to prepare.

 Eunji insisted she drives her own. She said she has some place to go  before going back to YG. We arrived at SBS parking. She was trailing behind us.

"You okay?" I asked her. She looks confident and was not disturbed but just making sure. I don't want the CEO screaming at us if something happen there.
