As expected, once the signed contracts were in the hands of the Cass team, they moved heaven and earth to schedule the shoot as soon as possible. Although it wasn't soon enough for them since Jaejoong still had commitments in Japan that he had to finish before flying back in.

The CF will be shown in "episodes", kind of like Dara's Etude Kiss Note CF with Shinee. Added to  that, a song and MV will be released to the public.

TOP tried calling his friend, but for some reason Jaejoong wasn't answering. He only sent TOP a short text, apologizing and stating that there were some matters that he needed to take care of.

Dara on the other hand, has learned her lesson and vowed to read every page of her contract from now on. Thankfully, this little mistake wasn't as bad as it could have been. The concept was fun and interesting. Also, she told herself that after how much she badgered Jaejoong to be friends again, she should start acting friendly with him even when she is sober.

Besides, maybe if she pretends they really are just friends with no history whatsoever, she'll actually believe it and help lessen the guilt she usually feels when thinking about Kim Jaejoong.

They have already released teasers and when Cass officially announced it, the fans were ecstatic.

Yang Hyun Suk, who was still on vacation when he received the complete details went into shock for a couple of seconds before regaining his wits. He immediately placed a call to Dara, which suffice it to say, was very awkward.

Dara recalled the phone conversation as she sat in her van on the way to the shooting location.

'"Sandara Park." Yang Hyun Suk greeted as soon as Dara answered his call.

"Good morning, Sajangnim. How's your vacation?" Dara asked hesitantly, unsure why he was calling her.

"Good. Good." He cleared his throat a couple of times." Uh.. I see you're scheduled to shoot a CF for Cass.."

"Yes sir." Dara confirmed, confused at the fact that she was confirming it.

"You and Eunkyoung discussed it?" At Dara's affirmative answer, he once again cleared his throat. "And everything is okay? Your schedule isn't too full? And the concept isn't too racy, right? We still have to keep you around PG-16, even if you're already an ahjumma."

"Sajangniiiim.." Dara whined at her president's teasing. YG coughed again. "Sajangnim, maybe you should have a drink of water or something?"

"Yah! Why are you ordering me around?" YG demanded but the effect was ruined when he cleared his throat again. "Anyway.. Good. Good. I was just checking on you trouble makers to make sure that you and Seungri haven't destroyed YG's image yet. Or that temperamental dragon.. This is why I hate being away for so long.. I imagine all the trouble you guys could get into and I just can't relax - "

Dara smiled at her boss' rants. "Sajangnim.. Thank you.. For everything."

There was silence for a while and Dara wondered if the call was disconnected until she heard YG clearing his throat once again.

"Well. Yeah.. I worry.. You know.." He cleared his throat again and decided to end the call. "Well. That's all. Do well in the CF, Dara. And keep an eye on those Big Bang brats for me. Goodbye."

He ended the call before Dara could respond but Dara could still recall how she sat there thinking about their conversation minutes after it ended. She knew why her boss was worried and was truly touched by the fact that he was worried enough to call her. His wife usually asks him to keep his phone turned-off whenever they are on vacation. They've had a rocky beginning, with her being in constant fear of YG ever since she started training. She always felt like the man was two mistakes away from booting her off the program. They grew a tentative bond when the events in Japan unfolded. His unquestioning support and unwavering protection of her earned him her loyalty and love - not for the company, but for the man himself.

She loved YG Entertainment, there was no doubt that she is happy there but throughout the years, there have been numerous offers. When 2ne1 went into hiatus because of Bom's 'scandal' - she rolled her eyes at the thought since to this day, she still hates how she feels a lot of people wronged Bom -, there were offers of buying out her contract with hefty compensation packages for her. But she stayed. Mainly because of her love for her Park sister and the rest of the YG Family, but there was a part of her that stayed because Yang Hyun Suk sheltered her and gave her time to recover when she needed it the most.

She broke out of her reverie, when her manager opened the door and started bringing her things out of the car. She shook her head to clear her thoughts and proceeded to enter the location. She greeted the staff brightly especially those she remembered from her first commercial with Cass. TOP and Jaejoong were already filming, so she proceeded to get her hair and make-up done.

The atmosphere was light and casual. The staff were telling her of how filming was going prior to her arrival. Apparently TOP and Jaejoong are a hit with everyone. They are already admired because of their individual and their respective groups' accomplishments but when the two are together, they take it to a whole other level. They've been goofing off all morning during breaks, teasing each other and the staff but once the director calls them or even if a staff just mentions that they'll be shooting in a couple of minutes, they transform into the ultimate professionals.

After TOP and Jaejoong's scene, Dara went to greet them and the director as well. They immediately launched into rehearsal since they were operating on a tight schedule.

Hours later, Dara was returning to the stand-by area after filming her solo scenes. They had a twenty-minute break since the production team needs to change the set.

Upon entering, Dara saw TOP sprawled on one of the couches while Jaejoong was seated on an armchair with his feet propped on a stool.  At Dara's entrance, TOP opened his eyes and waved at her. He sat up, presumably to give her some room to sit. She greeted the staff and went to sit next to TOP.   "You done?" He asked her.

"Yeah. I think the three of us have two more scenes then we're shooting for the print ads. Then we can go home!" Dara cheered.

"You can be such a child sometimes." TOP teased Dara.

"Says the guy who spends millions of won just to buy toys." Dara shot back and stuck a tongue out at TOP.

Jaejoong chuckled quietly from his seat but otherwise remained silent.

"Sandara." TOP shook his head and placed a hand to cup his chin. "Those are investments. They are collectors' items and their value can only increase the more time passes. Unlike cars, my collections' value does not depreciate."

"As if you'd actually sell them." Dara turned to Jaejoong and leaned towards him, pretending to whisper. "He almost threw a tantrum when Haru wanted to play with one of his 'investments'. Haru really liked the toy and was throwing a tantrum, which you know, is normal since she was what, like, four or five years old then. So Tablo oppa offers to buy the toy from Tabi and TOP goes really pale and in a squeaky voice tell us, 'But there is only two in the whole world and the other collector won't sell his. I already tried.'" she imitated TOP's deep voice but with a higher pitch making Jaejoong laugh.

"I did not sound like that" TOP objected.

"No. You sounded worse." Dara agreed. "Anyway, we had to bribe Haru with all sorts of sweets and treats and in the end Ji-" she gulped but kept the smile on her face. "Jiyong had to be the one to negotiate with her. You know she has like the biggest crush on him, right? Well him and Youngbae and Bobby, from last I heard. That girl's going to grow up to be a heartbreaker. But man, she is just a cutie pie."

TOP raised his eyebrow when Dara faltered but relaxed when she powered through. Jaejoong was smiling a bit at her words. "Yeah. I saw Haru once or twice before. She must be a grown up by now."

"Tablo oppa is going out of his mind." Dara smirked. "He even asked Hwangsabbu one time if he could learn jiujitsu because he's scared Haru might start liking boys soon."

"We all laughed at him" TOP added with a grin. "In YG family, he's probably the laziest when it comes to working out. When we pointed that out to him, he started asking about guns."

They chatted amiably, with Dara and TOP doing most of the talking. Jaejoong wasn't ignoring them but mostly kept silent. Jaejoong smiled to himself as Dara and Seunghyun once again entered into an argument, this time about Seunghyun's claims of 'not taking selfies much'. Dara being the SNS queen that she is, pulled up her accounts and started counting how many selfies Seunghyun actually posted.

It's funny watching them bicker. He could clearly see that they genuinely like each other. He also appreciated Dara's tentative efforts at reaching out to him. 
He broke out of his musings when he felt a gentle touch on his arm. He looked at Dara, who immediately retracted her hand and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah.. Just a lot of things on mind." He answered vaguely, wondering if he should tell her. On one hand, she deserves to know. On the other hand, nothing has happened yet, it might seem a bit presumptive.

"I hope things are okay.." she said.

He closed his eyes and came to a decision. "I - Uh.. Maybe.."

"Guys, time to rehearse." One of the staff called out to them.

"Unnie.." Dara pouted. "I'm a girl, you know."

The staff smiled at Dara, "Fine. Guys and very pretty girl. We need you on set."

Dara clapped her hands gleefully. "Much much better."

The staff and TOP laughed at her. As TOP and Dara stood up to follow the staff, she turned to Jaejoong. "If you need to talk, Tabi and I are here for you."

"Yah! Why are you including me? I don't want to hear Jaejoong whine." TOP joked as he hooked an arm around Dara and winked at Jaejoong for good measure.

Filming went smoothly as the three were clearly professionals and already had a certain level of rapport with each other. They just finished shooting their final scene and were just about to go to back to hair and make up to prepare for the photo shoot.

"Now I know why they were so generous" Dara muttered under her breath. "They're trying to kill us. Kill us, I tell you!" She joked.

"They're just scared that our trio's hype will die down before the CF gets released." TOP answered reasonably. "Of course they want to get the bang for the buck. You know, they want the big bang! Get it? Coz I'm in Big Bang!"

Dara rolled her eyes at TOP, "
