I had to find them quickly. Still running, I dialed the number again. The phone rang, for a long time. No answer.

I stifled a curse and  unceremoniously shoved people I met on my way. I had to tell them, to tell HIM. I could not let all this happen

• 야 !! 어디로가는지봐! (Ya! Eodiro ganeunji bwa! Hey! Look where you’re going!)

 Without even stopping to apologize, I continued my race to KBS (Korean Broadcast Station). They were there for Music Bank... and she was also.

I accelerated my pace, tears flowing down my cheeks now. Is it going to end like this? Without me to tell him what I felt? Not to mention everything that happened between us? No.

I entered the lobby and was stopped by a security guard. I had to look like a crazy person: a young black woman, panting, with shaggy hair and in pajamas screaming to let her trough.  I was unceremoniously escorted out of the station.

• Anna-ssi ?

I turned and almost jumped at TOP manager’s neck. 

• 매니저 오빠( Maenijeo oppa. Manager Brother)!! I need to see Ji Yong-ah…I have…위험해… ( Wiheomae... It's dangerous..).

I choke on my words. He looked at me from head to toes and nodded. Ten minutes later, I was in front of the recording studio.

• Anna-ssi…I don't think that this is a good idea...maybe if you tell me what's going on..

Without even let him finish, I entered the room. She was already there, I was sure, and she would wait until they go on stage.

• 빅뱅을 환영 합니다!! ( Bigbang eul hwanyeong habnida! Welcome to Big Bang!)

I felt my heart skip a beat. I looked around me, pushing people on the way. Complaints were heard from both sides. Suddenly I stopped. A sense of visceral fear came over me and every hair on my body stood up. I turned my head slowly and I saw her ... and also the gun that she was pointing.

• 안돼!! (Andwae! No!)

I violently shoved people in front of me me and leaped on the stage.

• 안돼!! 안돼!! 지용아!!! (Andwae! Andwae! Jiyong-ah! No! No! Ji Yong)

I had the time to see the astonished gaze of the five members of Big Bang, to hear the cries of surprise from the crowd, to feel GD’s arms close in on me before feeling the horrible burn. I could even hear the screams of panic after the second shot left; I could feel GD dump me against the ground to protect me and could even lay one hand on my head to find it moist of blood.

• Anna-yah ! Anna-yah !

I look up with eyes filled with tears to look at Ji Yong.

• You're okay… 난 행복 해 (Nan haembok hae. I’m happy).

I felt my eyes close and my body becomes heavy. GD adjusted his hold on me, pressing a piece of his stage clothes he had rip off against my head and said in a tearful voice.

• 눈을 감고 하지마 (Nuneul gamgo hajima. Don’t close your eyes). 제발 (Jebal. Please)

I wanted to keep them open and watch him at my leisure. I have not seen him for at least three months ... I felt myself falling into a black hole.

• Anna-yah, 다 잘 될거야 ( Da jal dwilgoya. Everything will be alright)…약속 한다 (Yaksok handa. Promise.)

Taeyang appeared running

• Ji Yong-ah ! The ambulance is here. She...

He stopped seeing TOP make no with his head. GD was gently patting his friend cheeks, begging her to wake up. He was covered in blood. The paramedics arrived and tried to make him let go.

• Kwon Ji Yong-ssi, we have to take her to the hospital right now. You can come with us if you want.

 GD rose in a daze. He wavers for a moment. TOP caught him before he fell. The police were everywhere at KBS. Yet, without a word, they let the five young men in shock pass. G-Dragon was covered in blood, although his stage clothes did not really let that appear (it was red too), but his hands and his face were soiled with it.

The words 사생 ( sasaeng.Stalker) 안티 팬 (anti paen. Anti-fan), gun, gunshot wound, danger of death, black girl, crazy were whispered in their path, yet they were as deaf. The others helped GD into the van that followed the ambulance. Nobody said a word. Their manager kept throwing them anxious glances. He shook his head when he saw a tear running down GD’s cheek. This would all end badly, he was sure. He had already predicted it when it started and unfortunately he was right so far. He took out his phone with a sigh to call YG.

They made them sit in an uncomfortable and cold waiting room. GD was aware that people were moving around him, but he, he felt petrified. Anna had took one ... no, two bullets for him, Anna could die for him. Anna, that he humiliated and pushed out of his life ...

Another tear fell and he made no effort to wipe it. Yang Hyun-suk, CEO of YG Entertainment, soon arrived, followed by several security guards. Without a word, he handed a packet of wet wipe to TOP who started to clean his friend's hands.

• 무슨 일이 있었는지? ( Musun ili isseossneunji? What happened ?) demanda YG

The manager shook his head. He really had no idea. 

• It's this sasaeng ... the one who had sent this letter written with her blood to Ji Yong 형 (heong. Brother.) Commented Seungri. I don't know how Anna 누나 (nuna. big sister) found out but she came and took a bullet for us and ...

GD got up quickly, making them jump. The door of the operating room opened and the doctors came out. He rushed toward them but could not ask for anything. It was Daesung who spoke. 

• Doctors…how is she? She's fine right?

The doctors shook their heads.

• We did our best. We could remove the bullet that was in her chest but some damages was done to her shoulder and her right lung. We have been able to rebuild  it... The bullet  lodged in her brain burst into pieces. A lot of them has been removed, but there is a fragment which can only be removed when she is conscious ... .she is in coma ... ... but now everything depends on her. We just need to be patient and wait until she wakes up to see the extent of the damage and bring her back to surgery. We're talking about 뇌 손상 (nwi sonsang. Brain injury). She was taken to the recovery room, you can go see her now.

YG thanked the doctor and glanced over Ji Yong. The poor looked like a zombie, like he really took a bullet in the heart. All colors had deserted his face and his lips were bloodless.

Anna was in a private room and at seing her, YG could not restrain a smile. Even in her hospital bed, he could see the determined chin, the stubborn front. She looked so peaceful that he almost expected to see her open her eyes and slap GD ... like she used to ... but there was this white bandage around her head, which reflected the sacrifice that the young woman just made... for Ji Yong.

GD sank into a chair by the patient and took one of the little hands. For the first time since the ambulance had taken Anna  away, Ji Yong opened his mouth.

• I'll stay here with her. I do not want her to wake up alone. 형 (hyeong) he said, turning to TOP, called her parents but do not tell them that it's serious. Let's wait for her to wake up before alarming them ... Seungri, Daesung, take care of the press, Yong Bae, go to my house  and bring me some clothes. I will not move from here until she wakes up.

Everyone nodded and rushed out of the room to do what their leader had asked them. YG approached and placed a sympathetic hand on the shoulder of the young man he considered a son.

• 다 잘 될거야. 화이팅 ( Da jal dwilgoya. Hwaiting. Everything will be fine. Fighting !)

He left after a few minutes and Ji Yong was alone. He blew on the little brown hand to warm it.

• 야! 나쁜 기집애! (Ya! Nappeun gijibae. Eh ! Bad girl). …How can you stay in bed like that? You have to wake up and you have to explain to me ... why ...for me... Anna-yah…제발, 일어나 (Jebal, ireona. Please, wake up).

He wiped his tears and continued his advocacy.

• It's been three months since nobody yelled at me or called me an idiot ... Anna-yah ... 눈을 열어. (Nuneul yeoleo. Open your eyes).  도대체 뇌 손상 (Dodaeche nwi sonsang. brain injury). You have to freeze me on the spot with this laser sight that you have... open your eyes, eh? Do you remember our first meeting? I do. Who could have predicted that all of this would happen? We didn't...
