JIYONG's POV

I went out of the recording room and took the call. She really has great timing, she called when we were just talking about her. I went to the YG Cafeteria since it's 9pm and it should be closed by now.

"Hey" 

"Are you free tonight? There's this new art museum I discovered!" She exclaimed. 

"I'm sorry Jooyeon, I can't go out now. I'm already at the dorm, resting." I lied.

"Hmm, I see. I saw your comeback stage earlier. It was so good! As expected from you." I can imagine her smiling while saying those lines. Jooyeon is actually pretty nice. We became friends because of an acquaintance of mine, she's into arts too, so we kind of clicked because of that.

"Yeah, I'm sorry I wasn't able to watch your stage." I told her, I did text her before their performance wishing her goodluck though. 

"It's fine, I read your text, thats already good enough. I miss you." I heard her sigh on the other line. "I haven't seen you in a while now. I heard you were shouting at someone at inkigayo today, a staff?"

"No. She's a friend." I told her. I remembered Dara and guilt crept to me. Why the hell did I shout at her earlier? She could've been traumatized because of it. Damn it. I heard Jooyeon cough on the other line, breaking my thoughts.

"Did you not hear what I said? I asked who's this friend, do I know her?" She asked. Ah, this is the only thing I hate about her, the jealous type.

"You don't know her. She's a new friend" I told her.

"Well, why did you shout at her?"

"Can we not talk about that? Why are you even curious about it?" I asked her, letting her know that its irritating.

"It's because I want to know who's that girl" she exclaimed. What's there to know? I want to hang up already.

"I have to go." I told her and dropped the call, I didnt even wait for her reply anymore. She'll surely throw a fit and I'm not in the mood to comfort her nor tell her things she wants to hear.

Things with Dara is getting complicated with Top and Teddy hyung playing with my mind. My first goal was to bed her, of course. She's a very attractive women. She looks specially cute when she smiles but after hearing about her situation with her father, the desire to have with her then drop her, disappeared. I seriously want to cherish this girl, as a friend. I don't fall for fans, I know that myself. 

This is a rule to myself. Never fall in love with a fangirl. Don't misunderstand me, I love VIPS. They're my family. That's why making a VIP my girlfriend is a no-no for me and other fans would find it unfair, probably.

I sighed and went back to the recording studio. 

"How was the call?" Teddy hyung asked as soon as I entered and sat down 

"She's asking about Dara" 

"Woah, she has sources, alright. That was fast." Top hyung chuckled. 

"She was actually asking about who's the girl I shouted at in inkigayo earlier"

"You shouted at who?" Teddy hyung asked.

"Dara. I asked her to stay in the dressing room but she ended up in the audience area, fans today were pretty wild so I got worried and shouted at her without thinking" I explained. I wasn't even able to perform properly because I saw how the other fans pushed her and someone even hit her with the lightstick! Okay, that was probably an accident.

"You act like a boyfriend." Top hyung teased me again, ugh. When will the teasings stop? I just glared at him. He sounds like a girl.

"I'd go with Dara rather than Jooyeon." I heard him say again. "Can you believe it? I haven't even met Jooyeon! We go on the same music show but we weren't introduced yet? Am I the only one?"

"No, I don't really introduce her to anyone." I explained. "Why do I have to? It's not like she's my girlfriend"

"Uhm, we actually thought you guys are dating. She probably thinks the same" Top hyung said. "I mean its weird. You introduced Kiko to us"

"Kiko is a close friend though" I told him. It's true. I know Kiko would easily vibe with the members that's why I introduced her to them, and I was right. The members liked her, she's a great friend and easy to get along with while Jooyeon is... She's different. We just really got along because I like her art and creativeness.

"I thought the mood is good with you and Jooyeon?" Teddy hyung asked. "If the mood is good, and you're going on the we're-dating stage, then shouldn't you introduce her to your members?"

"I thought we're going on that stage, but I guess not anymore" I leaned on the sofa, and looked up the ceiling.

"Because of Dara?" I heard Top hyung said. I hate Top hyung whenever he sets his mind to tease the hell out of me.

"No. Because I hate the jealous type" I blurted out.

"That's funny. When you called Dara earlier, she was probably jealous about Jooyeon and you explained" Teddy hyung said. These two ganging up on me is the most annoying of them all.

"Stop shoving Dara on my throat. I told you, she's a friend" I told them.

"At least she's a friend now." Teddy hyung nodded. "The last time I talked with you regarding her, you told me she's
