Dara entered YG's office with a smile. She's confident she hasn't done anything wrong since her time has been consumed by filming. She barely had time to sleep, let alone get in trouble. Besides, she hasn't seen Seungri in days. 

"Good morning, Sajangnim!" Dara greeted brightly as she sat down.

YG smiled at her as he picked up a stack of papers from his desk and made his way to where she was seated. "How's the movie going?"

"I think we're on schedule and so far the director has been happy with my work." She shared shyly.

"That's good." YG cleared his throat as he tried to figure out how to proceed.

Noticing his sombre mood, Dara started fidgeting. Five minutes ago she was positive she wasn't in trouble, but now she's not so sure. To keep herself from exploding due to sheer nerves, she started playing with her ring. The action caught YG's attention.

"And you and Jiyong?" He asked.

"We're good. Really good." She smiled faintly at the thought of her boyfriend. "We're both really busy these days but we know it comes with the territory."

YG nodded and kept silent. Finally he sighed and just started speaking. "Dara, this is the proposed script of your cameo in MoL." He brought up a sheaf of papers to show her but instead of giving it to her he placed in on the table in front of them. "And this is PR's report of fan activity requesting for a Jaejoong - Dara pairing."

Dara gasped in surprise. She clenched her hands into fists before opening them again to release the tension.

"There are few things in life that I am unsure of, Sandara. I make it a point to go into everything I do with a whole heart." YG told her. "When I recruited you, although I wasn't convinced you could debut as a singer I was positive you would contribute to YGE's success.." He paused as he thought back to their beginning. How he was intrigued at how successful this slip of a girl became in a foreign country. How she showed promise but lacked training. How she seemed to both stand out and stay in the shadows at the same time. How she was awkward with him until a certain incident in a hotel room brought her defenses down and she finally opened her heart to him.

Dara remained quiet as she waited for YG's next words. She owed this man so much. For the opportunity he gave her when she desperately needed it and for the countless other opportunities that followed. She is and has always been grateful. And yet.. Hasn't she given him enough?

"This is one of the few times where I confess to not knowing if the result will be worth it." Hyun Suk continued. "I admit to not knowing what to do and I admit to choosing the coward's way out and leaving this decision in your hands."

Dara accepted the papers YG handed out to her. "But you want me to do it?"

"Businessman extraordinaire Yang Hyun Suk wants you to do it. It would be a tremendous boost to the project and fans would appreciate the fact that we listened to their requests." YG gave a bitter laugh. "But the paternal side of me wants to lock you up in this building and sic Kwon Jiyong on everyone who dares hurt you."

Dara smiled reluctantly at his words. She started flipping through PR's report and was actually surprised at the numbers. "I hurt him first." She spoke so quietly, YG wouldn't have heard it if he wasn't so focused on her. "If he agrees to it, then I don't have the right to decline."

"Sandara.."

"Is there anything else, Sajangnim?" YG shook his head.

"I'll try to make this as painless for you as possible." He told her. Dara merely nodded and stood up. "Will you be all right?"

She shrugged. "No reason for me not to be."

The day of the Moments of Love's press junket is almost here. YG and C-jes booked one of Seoul's finest events place. The event was highly anticipated as both companies promised close to 100% attendance of their actors. They were also assured that after the official press conference, a limited number of members of the press will be allowed to roam around the ballroom to conduct pocket interviews with the actors.

All attendees were given strict guidelines to follow but since this was a major event, everyone agreed almost instantly. On the other hand, the actors were given a list of what they can and can't say. YG and C-jes wanted to build up the hype but not give too much spoilers.

It would be a severe understatement to say that the idols who are also under YG Stage were very excited. 

They were once again hanging out at the YG cafeteria, which has become idol central since they came back from Jeju.

Dara and Bom were discussing Dara's outfit. Bom is of the belief that the shorter the dress, the better and is trying to convince Dara to live by same motto. They were arguing cutely as the Winner boys watched in amusement.

"Noona, we should coordinate our outfits so that we'll match." Seungyoon suggested. "Maybe we can ask Hyoni and Kiyong to match us as well. Solid WBU!"

"Leader Kang, aren't you forgetting about our maknae and our fake maknae?" Mino asked with a smirk. "I can't believe you would just abandon Jinwoo and Taehyun just like that."

Taehyun shook his head sadly as Jinwoo commented, "Just because we haven't starred in my own web drama.."

"Aisht. These two." Seungyoon groaned. "Fine. Noona, we should wear Winner's colors!"

"But Big Bang will also be there." TOP's deep voice boomed as he entered the cafeteria with s.

"Noona should wear yellow." Daesung smiled. "She's a proud VIP, you know?"

"That's right. That's right." Jiyong smiled as he sat down next to Dara."Hey, baby girl."

"Well, if we're going with that.. she should wear 2ne1 colors!" Bom announced. "You'd look y in hot pink, santokki."

"I don't care what you wear, noona as long as we're going together." Seungri said as he sat next to Jiyong.

"But I was thinking of going with either Hyoni or maybe Hye Sun and In Na.." Dara admitted. "It's been a while since we were last together."

"You can't do that, noona!" Seungri told her. "You and me, we're representatives of the idols -"

"Ehem." TOP called their maknae's attention. "Aren't you forgetting some people?"

"Such babies. The egos of some people.." Seungri shook his head in exasperation. "Fine. You, me, TOP hyung, Daesung, Seungyoon, Jinwoo and Taehyun, did I forget anyone? No? Okay. We must represent the idols and we must do it as a united force!"

"But.."

"No. Noona." Seungri turned to her sternly. "You can't expect us to let you walk in alone in a roomful of actors. Right, hyung?"

Seungri turned to Jiyong with a sly smile. "I'm not getting involved in this."

"Wow." Bom commented. "Is he okay? Dara check if he has a fever!"

Jiyong laughed. " Although.."

"I knew it was too good to be true." Youngbae commented with a laugh.

"What are you talking about, Bae?" Jiyong turned to his best friend with a mischievous smile. "I was just going to say that it might be good for her to stick with Seungri. You all know how he is around pretty girls. I don't want another scandal . If he's with Dara, he'll at least try to behave himself."

"Hyung! You're making me sound like a child." Seungri whined.

"Well, you are childish." Bom told him.

"Noona!" Seungri pouted and turned to Dara with a pitiful expression.

"Fine. Fine. We'll go together." She conceded. "I don't get why it's a big deal. It's not like we're not seeing each other in the event."

________________________________________

On the night of the event, the venue was transformed into a Hollywood style red-carpet event. The actors were dropped off their cars directly on the red carpet. They had to walk a few feet for the official photos before entering the venue.

Members of the press have arrived as early as three hours before the official time. All the media outlets have representatives outside the venue, for the red carpet and inside the venue for the official press conference.

At the appointed time, actors started trickling in one by one. The press and the fans are in a continuous frenzy. Snapping photos and shouting their favorites' names.

Just then a big black van drove in and stopped at the drop-off area. Fans waited with bated breath as one of the staff opened the car door.

Screams erupted when Seungyoon stepped out to be followed by Jinwoo and Taehyun. The screams intensified when Daesung came out, followed by TOP. Once TOP straightened up he turned back to the car and held out his hand to offer assistance to the person inside, which much to the fans' happiness turned out to be Dara.

Dara took TOP's hand and stepped out the vehicle. She was wearing a flowing long-sleeved white dress that stopped mid-thigh. The dress was all silk and lace, giving her a y ethereal look. She offered a wave to the fans and stepped aside for Big Bang's makne's grand entrance. At this point the Winner boys were on one side of the red carpet with Daesung, Dara and TOP on the other.

Finally, Seungri stepped out of the car. He straightened his coat and raised his hands to wave at the fans.When that resulted in cheers, he raised his arms in a V-shape and held them there as he urged the fans to scream. Dara, TOP and Daesung were laughing at Seungri's antics, while the Winner boys were struggling not to laugh.

When one of the staff signaled them to start walking forward, Seungri lead their group confidently. Daesung, TOP and Dara followed more casually while Seungyoon, Taehyun and Jinwoo were clearly excited.

They posed for individual photos before posing as a group. It was then that YG stans noticed their little tribute to their respective fandoms. Dara was wearing a necklace on a long chain with a huge hot pink stone as a pendant. TOP had on a yellow coat, Daesung had a yellow bow tie, while Seungri had a yellow pin on his coat. Jinwoo had a blue handkerchief  peeking from his suit pocket, Taehyun had blue flower as a boutonnière and Seungyoon was wearing an earring on his right earlobe that had a blue stone. Separately, they might just be taken as fashion statements but collectively, they showed the idols' group colors.

When they finally entered the venue, they were led to the YG artists' waiting room which had a huge TV which streamed the happenings on the red carpet..

"Dara!" Yoo In Na greeted her friend. "That was some entrance."

"You looked like you belong in a gang." Hye Sun joked.

Dara embraced her friends as the boys bowed in greeting.

"Noona, I'm too cute to be in a gang." Seungri answered, showing the older girls his aegyo.

"You! You're such an attention hog!" In Na told him with a laugh.

"You'd think someone was out to kidnap our santokki with the way these boys are acting." Hye Sun added. "Did the dragon set you on bodyguard duty?"

"Noona, when hasn't he ordered us to guard Dara noona?" Daesung asked with a smile.

"Ohmyheart!" Dara said dramatically, her eyes glued to the screen. "It's Kang Dong Won!" She grasped In Na's arm with one hand and Hye Sun's in another, then started shaking them both. "It's Kang Don Won!"

"Yah! Darong. Stop shaking us! My hair might collapse" In Na complained as she gestured to her intricately styled hair.

"You haven't met him yet, Dara?" Hye Sun asked with a smile.

"No! Have you?" Dara's eyes widened. "You have! Unfair!"

"Just wait a few more moments, noona." Seungyoon told her. "He'll be here soon. Then you can talk to him."

Shy Santokki suddenly made an appearance at Seungyoon's words. Dara bit her lip in worry. "I can't do that. I'm sure a lot of people want to speak with him.."

"He's really nice, Dee." Hye Sun told her. "Just say hello.
