Jiyong suddenly got up when he learned the empty side of the bed. It's still early and he knows Dara is really tired from her trip in the Philippines and she doesn't have any activities for today. Dara is quite sleepy head so he's surprised to see his side empty. 

"Dee??? Babe??? Are you there??" Jiyong stood up and walk towards the bathroom. The light is open so he guessed she might be there but no one answers him. He tried to unlock the door but it is locked inside. "Baby, what's wrong??? what are you doing there? Are you okay???" still he didn't get any response. "Baby?? I know u are in there??? Want me to get inside?? I'll just get the key." he started to walk back to the bed side table and get the keys to unlock the door. He was a bit surprised when he saw Dara sitting on the floor near the tub heads down not moving. 

"Dee?? Are you okay??? Are you sleeping there??" he says walking towards her, she didn't respond but he knows she's not sleeping because she's browsing her phone. "Baby?? what's wrong??" he reapeated his questions. What surprises her more is that when Dara looked up to him she saw her crying. "Babe?? What happened?? Why are you crying????" he hugs her and she hugs him back. She hugs him tightly like she really needs him right now and strength. A hug she usually does when she feels weak. "Stop crying babe, come here let's go back to the bed and talk about it. The floor is too cold you might get sick. How long have you been there? Why didn't you wake me up if there's something bothering you?" he worriedly asked. But Dara deosn't want to talk nor move and he knows that so instead of asking her again to walk back to the bed, he just carried her.

Once settled her up to the bed and put some blankets around her. He took off the phone from her hand and look at it for himself. He's actually worried when he saw her looking at the phone. Dara is very sensitive when it comes to comments online about her, about 2ne1, and most especially about them. There are lots of thing going on his mind, what if dispatch already caught them and they posted pictures online,then netizens commented harshly towards her. 

What he read is beyond his expectation. He never expect this coming, well actually he expects it but not too soon and not right now. He sighed deeply then look at her girl friend who's still crying. 

"Dee, c'mon stop crying. This will past. I know it is hard to accpet but you, all of you can pass this." he seriously said and offer her a hug once again. 

Dara on the other hand is trying her best to clear her mind. She knows that this time will come she just didn't know that she's not that strong to accpet the truth so instead of talking she silently hugs Jiyong and cry. It will just be the start of what really lies ahead in front of her and the other members of 2ne1. 

"Ji, why?" she asked

"Why, why?" he answered her with a question also. He doesn't know how to comfort her because inside of him he's also hurting. 

"Stop crying Dee, I hate seeing you like this. No matter what happens I will always here by your side. I will never leave you Baby. Please stop crying. This is just the start. Everything will change and it's won't be easy. So for the mean time you need to be strong. YG hyung will clear things up and he won't let you down. All of you girls are precious to him and he will do everything to protect you and if it's not enough the whole family are here. So Baby be strong!" his words of encouragement to Dara

"I know. Thank you! Thank you coz u are always by my side. It's just... haaaay why now?? I thought I am strong enough. I know this will come, I prepared for this but look at me still crying. I am really not ready to accept that Minzy, our maknae will never be part of 2ne1. It hurts so much Ji, it really hurts." Dara says while sobbing

"Babe nothing is permanent. It was her decesion you already accepted that before the difference now is out in the public. YG hyung will probably have plans to clear this thing out. For now Babe you should rest it will be very tough days  ahead of you you need to be strong." he encourages her to go back to sleep coz he knows that for the coming days it will be hard for her. Media will watch every thing will do and every words will say. He's been there and Dara was the one who helped him up and right now that is what he's thinking he will be Dara's strength no matter what. It's not just about the girls. This issue will drag the whole YG so they all need to be tough. 

"Sorry Babe, I'm being a crying baby. It's just I am worried. I am worried on what happen to us? To 2ne1? To Bom? they will probably put all the hate to her? To Minzy? our dear maknae how is she going to all of this when we are not her side any more."

"Shhh stop worrying. Everything will be okay. No one will be left alone. All the hates and issues that each of you will get, we will all accept and fight them! We will always protect each and every one even Minzy."

"haaaaaaayyyyy I won't be able to sleep back again." but Dara lied down tears are still flowing down.

Jiyong knows what to do, Dara has gone through a lot and in situation like this he knows she needs him the most. He stood up and give her an anti-depressant medecine that she takes when she really can't sleep. "Dee drink this. It will help you. Don't worry about any thing. We'll get through it."

To his surprise Dara obliged easily and drink the medcine, that means she really wants to escape things for awhile and sleep will be the best idea for her. He sighed once again when he saw her already sleeping. He needs to do something. He stood up and went outside to call someone.

On the other hand.... 

Top keeps on calling Bom but the latter isn't answering any of it. He runs fast toward
