Get your crayON

Dara POV

"No," Dara said firmly as Jiyong was about to walk in 2NE1's dressing room.

"Woah...." Chaerin chanted with a grin before sitting next to Bom watching a spectacle of an argument from Dara-unnie and Jiyong-oppa that is about to happen.

"What? I didn't say anything yet." Jiyong said as he closed the door behind him. He grinned at Chaerin, Bom and Minzy.

Dara stands up and puts her hands on her waist, "I saw the way you looked at me when I arrived. The look says you want me to change. So no." She gestures to her yellow dress that seems too short for comfort. She knows Jiyong hates it when she reveals more skin than needed.

"I didn't say anything." He said as he was definitely eyeing Dara from head to toe. He seems conflicted about something. He loved the dress obviously but it's too much skin.

"You were thinking it. So I am repeating myself, no." She turns her back at him but he was too quick to turn her around and wraps his arms around her.

"Well I was thinking, my girlfriend looked beautiful." He lightly touched his lips on her forehead, "Anyone who saw you right now, is probably thinking, her boyfriend... Wow whoever he is.... Is so lucky." He said against her forehead.

It would have been a perfect moment but they had forgotten there were 3 set of eyes watching them.

"Bletch..." Bom said as she stuck her tongue out and pretended to gag, "You guys are boring. And I was hoping for dome spectacle about what else she should wear. Aish..." Bom stands up and rolls her eyes at Jiyong then walks over to the stylist so she can finish her make up.

"It's sweet...." Minzy said dreamily.

"Well thank you. Because I had no intensions on changing." She links her arms on his and she touches the pink side of his hair, he definitely did not have pink and black hair yesterday. "You look pretty good yourself," commenting on his striped suit. She plants a soft kiss his cheeks so she wouldn't blot lipstick which failed since there was a slight hint of lip gloss on his cheeks. "Aishh...." She immediately tries to wipe it off but he moves away.

"No, keep it it's like a stamp of ownership from you." Jiyong teased.

"Aiigoo." She looks down and blushes.

"Well, I better go," He pecks at Dara's lips lightly and then looks over to Chaerin. "See you later Chaera," Jiyong said then he smirks at Chaerin's troubled expression.

"Do I really have to?" Chaerin asked in a pout.

"Unless, Dara changes her mind.... judging from her expression right now is a no." Jiyong said as sees Dara glaring at him.

"Good job, boyfriend and here I thought you are bad at taking hints." Dara said enthusiastically ignoring Chaerin's protest.

"What's goin' on?" Bom asked curious about secret those three are hiding.

It was Chaerin that replied, well cried actually. "Dara-unnie and I were watching Jiyong-oppa's rehearsal a while ago and the PD-nim suggested in that part for Crayon where he sings about girls, someone should actually walk by. PD-nim and Jiyong-oppa suggested Dara-unnie. And she immediately backed out offering it to me that I couldn't refuse."

Dara rolls her eyes and steps away from Jiyong, "YG-sajangnim told us to be careful... That would be asking for it. So ofcourse I'm saying no." Even after the small talk that Dara and YG-sajangnim had in October. He called on the couple again in November congratulating them on their reunion but at the same time threatening them to be more careful since there are people watching them closely since the Alive Tour Manila.

"Both of you are not on a dating ban anymore, why would it matter?" Bom asked.

"Doesn't mean to go flaunt it around that G-dragon is taken. His fans are going to go ballistic." Dara argued in a high pitch tone. Even Kiko who never really dated Jiyong has been getting hate for shirts that they both owned separately or anything close to having a clue that they are dating.... How about the real girlfriend especially after Jiyong's stunt about not dating within YGfamily that is going to get the fans angry and calling them a liar.

"Yeah, you do have sasaeng that are growing in numbers oppa." Minzy said lightly. She has read a few comments about Dara possibly dating Jiyong and they aren’t nice.

"And I won't get hate?" Chaerin whined. Totally regretting why she accompanied her unnie to see Jiyong-oppa's rehearsal.

Bom smiled and responded for the couple, "No because you two obviously aren't right for each other to be together. You two are too much alike. What you need is someone who keeps you on your toes.... Someone you can argue with like a Tom and Jerry relationship yet you actually like them. Someone--"

"Unnie..." Chaerin snapped at Bom to shut her up. It seems like the leader if 2NE1 is hiding something from the other girls and only Bom knows. She can feel the look of questioning from Minzy and Jiyong... Especially from Dara. Then she glares at Dara and Jiyong, "If or what Bom-unnie is claiming true, don't give me that look. You hid your relationship from us for six months.” She then rolls her eyes at her them, “So excuse me but I'm allowed to keep my own business thank you very much." Chaerin was already at the other side of the room grabbing through the dresses since she was technically was not done changing.

Dara made a face at Jiyong silently telling him to leave since the leader of 2NE1 is in her moods, which Jiyong knows all too well. He mouthed 'Tell me later?' And when she nods in response. He glances over at Minzy who just shrugs since she's mostly clueless when it comes to her unnie's love lives. He calls after his dongsaeng with a teasing tone on his voice, "See you later, CL."

Chaerin comes out of the corner with a strong look on face, "Oh you'll see me later, oppa." Her voice sounded like a threat more than anything, "I'll do something to eventually die down that rumor that you and unnie are even dating. It'll be yours and my scandal after I'm done."

Jiyong raised an eyebrow and nods, "Enough that it’ll also die down future rumors about this guy?” he sort of knows who it is since he is close to the guy, but a certain scandal ruined that chance. So he suspects it might be a different one.

Chaerin’s face turned red and she scoffs at Jiyong trying not to get affected by his words. She glared at Bom who coughed out a laugh before she turned her back on Jiyong to say, “Goodbye, oppa.” She said with hostility.

Dara knows that there’s that thin line that is Chaerin’s patience and it is obvious that Jiyong is slowly breaking it. So she widen her eyes and slowly pushing him towards the door. ‘Bye oppa’ she mouthed at him the quickly pecked his lips before she shoved him out and shut the door on his handsome face.

Dara leans on the door and holds out a laugh, she walks towards where Chaerin is and said adorably, “CL-roo?”

Chaerin was still facing her back at her. “Don’t start with me unnie.”

Dara then grins and said, “I wasn’t planning to,” but she turns towards Bom and they both shared a smile knowing that certainly wasn’t the end of that conversation.

It was five minutes before G-dragon’s and Bigbang’s performance. The PD was already gesturing Chaerin to go to be ready. Chaerin smiles at him but then she turns at Dara, “Unnie, please.” She asked again since she has been bugging Dara about for the past thirty minutes now. Every time Dara would just smile or ignores her, though a minute ago there was a slight sign that Dara might do it. “You can pull off the y cute more than I can.”

Dara giggles, “You can pull off y too.”

“Not like you can… Please…” Chaerin begged again this time she was holding on to Dara’s hand and squeezed it tightly hoping that simple touch would help.

Dara sighs, she can already see Jiyong standing at the left side of her. He was straightening out his ear piece and is waiving at his VIP. She can see that the guy standing there is not Jiyong anymore, it’s G-dragon. Watching him right now makes her want to be the girl he sings to and besides Chaerin's aegyo of a smile of begging her to say yes. Dara feels like she can use this to her advantage also... "Alright, I'll do it." she whispers.

Chaerin gave Dara a hug and squealed, “Saranghae unnie…”

“Definitely, do want to see the surprised look on his face. When I show up there…” Dara said lightly with a playful grin on her face and glanced over at G-dragon who was seated on the stairs.

Chaerin nods knowing that Jiyong-oppa would never expect that Dara would do it since usually when Dara says no, it’s always no. “Go get him, unnie.”

After that she only saw him for about five minutes just to say good night and not even properly since it was after the show, the boys had to leave because they still had to early schedule tomorrow and they were demanded by YG-sajangnim to rest tonight without any shenanigans. They weren’t even joining any after parties tonight which isn’t fair because the 2NE1 girls are definitely going to do that except for Dara who had decided to go home early.

She was already on her bed ready for bed, she decided to check through her social media before she would call her boyfriend that she’s ready to go to bed. The first thing she saw was a few notifications on her twitter but one thing caught her the most. Jiyong had tagged her about something, and she couldn’t help but smile when she remembered how he tried his best to hide his surprise when she walked on stage today. Any one who doesn’t really know Jiyong can tell that today was planned but it wasn’t, it was legit surprise on his face when he saw her.

His twitter was… and this started their twitter conversation longer than 1 response which is normally what they do.

G-Dragon: @krungy21 Darong~It’s an honor to perform together with you 

Dara: @IBGDRGN: Me!!! It was my honor~!!! ^.^ Thank you for including me in that awesome performance~~~ >.< Bow!!!

G-Dragon: @krungy21 See you the day after tomorrow~~ Be careful, it’s snowing. 2NE1 is the best

 Dara: @IBGDRGN Yep~!!! Get home safe~^_^ Big Bang is the best~ For real!!! Good night~!!!

See you the day after tomorrow? So she calls him immediately, which he answers.

“Baby girl, you going to bed?” was his greeting.

She scoffs, “You know how many delusional fans is going to read into what you said. A day after tomorrow is New Year’s eve.”

“Yes, which us trying to split between our parents and yours. That’s the plan right?” He reconfirmed since they were talking about how an hour before midnight they are going to be at her family and then after midnight they’ll go to his parents’ house, though midnight is just going to be just the two of them.

She blinks, not really understanding why he doesn’t understand what is wrong with his statement on twitter, “Yah! Are you even listening!”

He snickers, “Technically it’s the 30th so if you think about it, if a day after tomorrow is January first and we are doing rehearsals for KMF performance. You are just over thinking things baby.”

And she sighs now seeing what he sees. He is right though, Bigbang 2NE1 and yg’s makenae, Lee Hi are performing together. So she relaxed a bit and then cuddled in her bed, hugging at her pillow imagining it’s Jiyong that she’s cuddling with, “Oppa, can’t you come here and hold me till I sleep?” she whispered after she yawned. She hasn’t really seen much of Jiyong in the past week because of work so she misses him like crazy.

He sighs, “I wish too baby girl, but I have to be up at 5am tomorrow to leave for our schedule and the manager-hyung already threatened that  if I’m not here when he gets here… I’ll be in big trouble.”

She laughs, last week the manager-oppa pounded at her door angry that Jiyong was at her house instead of the Bigbang hostel that the boys have been staying at due to their busy schedules. “Okay, stay then until I fall asleep?” she says referring for him to stay on the phone until she falls drifts off which they do a lot more lately. It makes up to not being with each other.

He yawns, “I planned to baby. So go to sleep and good night.”

“I love you oppa.” She whispered as she closed her eyes, thankful that the pillow still smelled like him from when he slept here last week.

He breathes quietly also drifting to sleep, “I love you too baby girl.”

Dishwashing Sandara Park?

Jiyong POV

He hasn't seen his girlfriend for two days so when he saw a picture of her from Youngbae's instagram he couldn't help but miss her and he got a bit jealous that he was hanging out with her without him. He replies to their post as well.

Taeyang: Dishwashing Park #dara #2ne1 #diswashing

Dara: Ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke Ke ke ke ke ke Ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke This is Dishwashing Park, the #1 best and most beautiful dishwashing woman in all of YG ^_^v Begin the best dishwasher is easy!

G-Dragon: @krungy21 Noona, then do our house’s dishes too

DARA: I’m not someone you just order to do your dishes for you~~~ㅋㅋㅋ

GD: Do it do it do it do it (A/N: According to our translator and some KVIPs, GD’s tweet was done in a super cute way/aegyo attack.)

DARA: Won’t do it won’t do it~ Dadoong! Bite him!!! Roar~ ㅋㅋㅋ(And she added a photo of Dadoong)

Translated by: @ygfan4life

Jiyong was headed home after a long night from the studio. He had been waiting for a text from Dara saying that she's at his house but he already knew she was there since his eomma had called him asking him when he'd be home since they had dinner prepared for him now that Dara had gotten there.

So he was surprised that he didn't hear from her tonight. He had an inkling feeling as to why his girlfriend was acting like this but he wasn't sure.

It was about midnight when he finally got home to his quiet house, everyone was sleeping already obviously since his parents always sleep before 11. He may be living with his parents but he has his own living space in the basement, a shower room, bedroom and a separate room for his studio. So it was still like his own little world down there. And his parents totally doesn't mind if Dara would be staying in, since they rarely see each other. There are even times when she'd come on her own even when Bigbang had their tour in London she was at their house spending time when his family, he was more than delightedly surprised when he got home late that night from London she was sleeping in his bed.

He took a bite from the food that was left for him from his parents and then he put the others in the fridge. He washed the dishes he used before heading downstairs.

The room was pitch dark and only the plug light by the end of the stairs and the bathroom light is left on. It took him a second to get used in the darkness. He immediately heads to the bathroom to get freshened from cleansing himself from today’s hard work and ready to cuddle with his girlfriend who he misses so much even for his own good. Normally he would sleep with the most little clothes as possible but since she's here tonight he was wearing a shirt and pajamas since they had gotten back together they haven't been too intimate with each other. Sure they'd share heated kisses when they are alone and even gone close to going even further but something always stops them. It's not like they never became that intimate before they broke up but this second time around they are trying their best to slow things down and as usual Jiyong will always patiently wait for her.

So if she wants him to wait till she's ready again then he will wait. He waited a year for her before and then being with her for a year but not being able to touch her was torture enough (friendship after their first break up) this wouldn't be able to comparable to that. So he'll be fine.

He runs his hands through hair as he heads to bed, he couldn't help but smile to see her sprawled out on his bed taking up most of the space. Though this is different, most of the time when she's staying at his house and she'd fall asleep waiting for him, either he's in his studio or once again visiting his family, she's always sleeping in one side of the bed expecting him to crawl in easily and hold her.

But right now, she's laying in the middle of the bed, with the blankets wrapped around her tightly and she was even holding the pillows with her. This isn't like when she misses him and she hugs on pillows to make it seem like she's cuddling him. No, it's like she's holding the pillows hostage so he would be sleeping without a pillow or even fall off of bed when he lays down.

Last time she did this was when they were in Jeju island, they had a ridiculous fight that he doesn’t remember. He went out to get a smoke to collect his thoughts. When he came back she had taken the pillows and blankets as hostage as a loud subtle hint that he shouldn’t even try to crawl into bed with her and sleep on the couch.

So the question now is, Are they in a fight?

He sits on the edge of the bed and this is where it is too obvious that she is indeed upset at him because she isn’t moving. She most of a time wakes up when he’s about to crawl into bed just for a few seconds so she can lay on his shoulder or chest or have an arm drape on him like she would always do.

He lightly touches her leg, “Baby?” he whispers.

She stays still and it was obvious that she has been awake the whole time he’s been back. She’s giving him the cold shoulder. He should have suspected as much, she has been ignoring his texts all night though he only texted twice since he got too busy.

He touches the back of his neck trying to figure out what he did today to get her upset. Sure, he was supposed to be home earlier than today but since Teddy-hyung and Kush-hyung was at the studio today the boys neglected the time like always when those three get in the zone of creating music. Once again, Jiyong has 3 more songs to be possibly be added to his album that’s probably going to be released late this year. He knows that isn’t something Dara wouldn’t be upset about because they both know they have a job that expects to take most of their time.

It’s something else and there he has a tiny feeling that he knows what he did. He just wasn’t sure if it’s correct.

She moves her leg so he wouldn’t be touching her leg.

Okay she is awake. “Dara, what’s wrong baby?”

She wiggles away but still enough that Jiyong wouldn’t be able to lay down on the bed. “Let me sleep, Jiyong.” she groaned at him.

And she is mad at me, he could hear the hostility in her voice. “Can you move a bit so I can lay down next to you?” he asks softly.

She sits up to face him and even in the darkness wit
