[GD POV]

Days had passed since the accident and Hyorin was set to arrive along with the other YG artists. He had prepared a date for them after the concert tonight and he was excited to surprise her. Life was a bit more difficult since every media outlet in Japan and Korea were swearing up and down that he was back with Kiko again. And she was NOT helping AT ALL. She still had an old bracelet that GD had given her that matched his and started wearing it again. He obviously stopped wearing his. But it didn’t matter. She could try all she wanted but at the end of the day they both knew who GD would pick any day.

“So what are you planning for her?”Daesung asked as they started changing into costume later in the day.
“Dinner obviously, maybe go to a friends party to introduce her, and definitely a night drive.”GD said.
“I still can’t get over that you and Taeyang’s girlfriend have the same name.”TOP noted while his hair was getting touched up.
The members looked at him and Taeyang laughed,”That wasn’t totally random or anything.”
“Won’t it be weird though?”Seungri asked,”With Mino being at the concert with her? I mean they’ll be in the VIP section together.”
“I trust Hyorin, she said she made her stance clear, and I am okay with that. He literally saved her life.”GD sighed,”I can’t ignore that.”
“Jiyoung-ah!”A manager said as he was reading off the tablet,”What is this?!”
He turned the tablet and it was an article, still on rumors, that Kiko was going to attend Big Bang’s concert. 
“How crazy can she be??”Seungri gasped after reading the title. 
“She is NOT coming right?”Daesung asked looking at GD,”She wouldn’t go that far?”
“I’ll talk to her.”GD sighed frustrated,”I’ll figure it out. Don’t worry.”

He quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket and went into an empty room. He called her.

Kiko quickly answered,”Hello?”
“Hey, why are there articles about you coming to our concert?”GD asked,”Why are you doing this to me? Do you want to ruin my career? Do you not respect boundaries?”
“What? I’m a fan, I can go can’t I?”She said as if nothing was wrong. 
“No, you can’t!”GD exclaimed. 

This was going to be a long conversation.

[YOUR POV]

You were so excited. Big Bang’s finale night was tonight, GD had a date planned for you afterwards, and you all were in VIP section. Tonight was going to be incredible. You and your members dressed in your best airport fashion, since media knew you all were going, and arrived along with WINNER and iKON. 

“Noona!”A voice called.
You turned to see BI and Chanwoo walk up to you with their adorable smiles,”Hey guys!”
“It’s been a while.”Chanwoo said as  you all continued walking.

It felt good to see old fellow trainees and you loved that the company was okay with you all being yourselves with each other and mingling again. Then again, it was public that you were all together anyway. 

“You guys excited?”You asked.
“Yeah.”BI answered,”It that this is TOP Hyung’s last concert until he gets back from enlistment.”
“Yeah, we bought a rice wreath for them.”You told,”We just put the YG Hoobae’s at the bottom, so you’re welcome.”
“For what?”Chanwoo laughed,”We didn’t even know you got it.”

You all ended checked in and headed inside.

“Noona,”Mino called as he joined you all as well.
“How are you feeling?”You asked watching his walk , a little different.
“Better.”He smiled,”How about you?”
“Same.”You nodded.
“Yah Hyorin-ah!”Insook called,”Which ice cream flavor do you want?”
She was at the parlor with some of the other YG artists.
“Chocolate!”You answered.
“I want vanilla,”BI called after,”Thank you for paying noona!”
“Yah!”Insook shot,”I may be your noona but you’re our sunbae!”
“I’ll treat you after,”BI laughed off,”Maybe.”

The guys laughed and you all headed to the gate. It was great, to be all together again. You, Insook, Jiyeon, Seunghoon, and Jinhwan were playing card games during the flight when Insook poked you on the side. You looked at her confused and she just handed you her phone. It was on daum search and multiple headlines and links mentioned Kiko going to the concert tonight. You closed your eyes and took a deep sigh, trying to calm yourself.

“You that bad of a loser noona?”Jinhwan snickered.
“Yah.”You shot,”Better watch out.”

You handed Insook back her phone and she rubbed your back. You smiled at her to let her know it was okay and you guys resumed to your game. 

After a short flight, you all landed in Japan, unpacked at the hotel, and headed to a salon for touch-up before heading to the Dome. 

“Wah.”Jinwoo said as his hair was getting done,”Kiko is going to be there? GD hyung has a lot of confidence.”
“It would be a lot easier on them if they just came out and said they were dating.”Mino sighed while reading articles on his phone. 

The members looked at you and you widened your eyes to tell them to look away. No one else knew about you and GD, and you were not about to risk it for some stares. You all finished, 4 vans came to pick you all up, arrived early, but just in time for dress rehearsal. You all headed backstage to greet them before heading to the VIP sections and Big Bang came into the room. You all cheered and the members greeted everyone. 

“We’re really glad the YG family all came together for TOP hyung’s last concert.”GD smiled,”We hope you all enjoy and we’ll see you at the after party.”

You all cheered and they left again to practice the final song while you all headed to your seats. As you watched the last performance GD put out your signal and you couldn’t help but smile. Whenever you two perform you promise to do your secret signal at least once. 

“I guess we can count this as part of our date?”Mino joked as he took a seat next to you while everyone took a bathroom break. 
“Oh?”You asked caught of guard,”I thought we planned for a dinner when we got back to Korea?”
“Yeah I guess,”Mino shrugged,”But why not here in Japan then? It will be more special.”
You looked at him,”Fine. The after party will be the last part?”
Mino made a thinking face and nodded,”Call. It won’t be as intimate but that’s okay.”

You were going to say something when you noticed a concerned GD looking at you from the stage with his arms crossed. To others he probably looked like he was just waiting for his part but he cocked his head to the side when he noticed you staring. You couldn’t help but smile, jealous GD was kind of cute.  Insook came back just in time and Mino joined WINNER again. Fans started coming into the Dome and many started to recognize all of you in the stands, screaming and waving happily. As you all waved back or said hi, one of your favorite feelings came to you. You loved seeing fans so excited, you loved seeing their reactions when you responded to them, and you loved to make them happy. Eventually the lights went off and the screams filled the Dome. The concert was amazing. You had a light stick GD had given you a while back and you were all chanting along with fans. The night continued and when you all thought the last song was performed, GD walked to the center of the stage while the other members took a step back.

“VIPs are very cool and level headed fans right?”GD asked. The crowd cheered.
“I have one last song to perform and I hope you all remember what you just agreed to.”

Insook and Bibi looked at you and you just shrugged. You had no idea what this was about and GD always had a creative flow to him when he was able to be himself so he did things randomly sometimes. The lights dimmed again and ‘Who you?’ started to play.

“Wow this is a romantic song,”You overheard BI said,”I didn’t expect him to play this song.” *What the-* Your heartbeat started to pick up a bit.
“I bet Kiko is somewhere here,”Seungyoon thought,”And this is his way of showing her he cares.”

You smiled. It was for you. But then your heart stopped. The entire stadium gasped and all the YG artists looked at you. As GD was performing a selfie you had taken with GD popped up on the screen in the background.

“What?!”Mino asked in disbelief.
“Hyorin and I are dating.”GD announced,”I couldn’t keep it a secret any longer. I hope you all will continue to support us and forgive us for keeping it a secret.”
The Dome was silent but then fans started to cheer. Granted it wasn’t the entire Dome, but it was a good amount. And loud. GD looked in your direction, even thought you knew he for sure could not spot you and you smiled, trying not to tear up. It was public. And a huge weight was lifted off your shoulder. 

[GD POV - Earlier that day]

”What will it take for you to move on? Do I have to send you pictures of Hyorin and I on every date we go on? Do I have to have Hyorin talk to you? Do I have to admit to our relationship? Like what do you-”GD groaned frustrated. 
“Yes.”Kiko agreed.
“Wait, yes to what?”GD asked, caught off guard.

“I will leave you alone, I will know we are done forever, when you go farther with Hyorin than with me.”Kiko dared,”You announce your relationship to the public, I will leave you alone.”
“Are you-”GD started, he knew he said it but he was just upset. He didn’t think she would take it seriously.
“If you can’t then you must not be serious about her.”Kiko snickered,”And if you can’t I will keep fighting for you until I get you back. So I will see you tonight then?”
“Fine.”GD agreed,”But you will come in a group and in disguise and you will leave me alone after it is over.”
“Deal,”Kiko said,”See you later!”

GD hung up in defeat. Kiko wanted that because she knew that GD couldn’t do it. That was career suicide and it would affect more than just GD and Hyorin, obviously. But he was just so heated he agreed. Frustrated, GD walked back into the green room and plopped himself on the couch. 

“So?”Taeyang asked,”What happened?”
“I uh…”GD said, trying to think,”It…it didn’t go well.”
“What happened?”TOP groaned. 
“I uhm…”GD said,”I kind of told Kiko I would announce my relationship with Hyorin to the public.”
“What?”Seungri laughed,”Are you crazy?”
“I know, I know.”GD nodded,”But it was the only way to  get her to agree to leave me alone and to stop risking our careers.”
“Either option put our careers on the line.”Daesung sighed,”One makes you look like a liar denying dating Kiko when shes pushing evidence, and the other is just career suicide.”
“Go for it.”Taeyang said. 
“What?”The members asked in disbelief as they turned to look at him.
Taeyang leaned forward, arms and his knees, and looked at GD,”You need to be honest with yourselves and the fans. It will be better than them finding out from someone else or the media. Think about it.”
There was silence.
“Just do it.”Seungri sighed,”Hyung (Taeyang) and Hyorin came out and most fans just wished them the best.”
“Yeah just take it off like a band-aid.”Daesung nodded. 
“Wait, wait, wait,”GD laughed to himself,”Are you guys actually okay with this?”
They all looked at each other and shrugged,”Yeah.”

GD took a breath. He was going to do it.
