"Where are you? I'm waiting~~ ^O^"   He stopped midway when he felt another text coming in front his hand. Breathing heavily, he shook his head after he read the message. He didn't expected that text to come in as he ran up the stairs. It was another text from that same person that he has been trying to avoid. It was an older female, a colleague of his. He clicked his tongue as he stuffed his phone back into his pocket, not bothering on replying. He's already making an effort to leave Eunji just for this person so he wasn't going to text back. He didn't want that person to get the habit of keep texting him when she's bored or just having the urge to start a conversation with him.   He ran up a couple more of steps and pushed himself through the white wooden door that marked second floor. He sighed and walked through the halls, greeting the staffs that practically watched him grew up under YG. Eventually, he made his way to the dance room. He entered the room without knocking on it. He found himself greeting everyone in the room. Seungri had also made an appearance on the second floor dance room. Inside the room were Seungri, 2NE1, and their dancers.   He then realized that 2NE1 was actually back. He smiled once his eyes met with Minzy and Chaerin. They greeted him with a bow as he approached them. They cutely returned back to what they were doing before. He marched over to Bom, who was chatting with Dara happily by the window seat. No one was practicing, really.   "Aigo~ Jiyong!" Bom stood up and cutely patted his shoulder as if he was still a little kid.   He chuckled as he glanced over to Dara, who was smiling brightly at him. She was excited to see him. He looked around the room then back at Bom, "When did you guys returned?"   He could felt the uneasiness that he was receiving from Dara's stare. She had her eyes glued to him. He never felt that uneasiness between them so it was awkward for him. He placed his hands on his hips as he gasped for more air since he just ran up the flight of stairs. "We returned like an hour ago. I heard Eunji had stopped by for lunch."   He nodded with a smile by the name of his girlfriend being mentioned. If people knew they were an item, they would assumed that the boy was swoon; deeply in love with her from head to toe. He faced Bom but immediately spotted Dara looking away once she heard his girlfriend's name being mentioned. "We had a late lunch date with the guys."   He replied simply, already wanting to leave the room but he could not. He needed to know what Dara wanted from him since she kept texting him for the past few days. Suddenly, he heard Bom snapping her finger as if she just remembered something. She bent down and reached over to her duffle bag that was placed to the side. She spun around her body and stood up. She rummaged through her bag and pulled out two boxes. She handed it to him as he gladly took it, curious on what  was inside. "It's for Eunji, not you." Bom hinted that he was curious. She giggled, "Just remember to give it to her. It's not for you so don't you dare open it."   Jiyong nodded and held the boxes carefully in his arms. He hugged it against his chest. "I personally bought it for her during our stop in Thailand. I bet she'll love it~~" Bom clapped her hands as her eyes disappeared due to the excitement that she was in.   Bom sighed and threw up two thumbs up at him. She grinned at him, letting him feel his spine forming cold sweats. The girl skipped away to the other two girls, leaving him alone with Dara. He looked at Dara, "She made you text me?"   He expected that Bom would have asked Dara to text him for her since Bom could get really lazy when it comes to texting. Dara shook her head with a timid smile upon that young look she portrayed. She smiled sweetly at the man and extended her arm out between them. In her hand was a box. He pointed at the box with his free hand, "This is?"   He paused as he came to a realization that it must've not been for Eunji. They aren't close with one another.   "It's for you, actually." He pointed at himself. He was quite shocked to find out that the gift was for him. he has always been so kind to her and helping her out whenever he could but it was only because he was more experienced in music. Also because she was like an older sister to him. Nothing more. "It's a little gift from me. It's a thank you gift."   She shoved the box into his hand. He held it hesitantly, still wondering why it was a thank you gift. He was happy that she was thanking him for whatever it was but he really didn't want to accept her gift. He didn't want to lead her on. It happened before once in the past and he's afraid of replaying that same incident.    "A thank you gift for what?"   She giggled, "The gift you gave me that night. It was a special moment for me."   His eyes widened as the music was blasted on loud. He turned around and saw the girls were dancing foolishly with the dancers. He returned his attention to other member of 2NE1. He was dumbstruck. He was so lost. What special gift did he gave her? What was that special gift that she was talking about, he thought. "Wait, what are you talking about? What gift?"   Dara giggled as she covered . She was shy as she lowered her head. Her two index fingers tapped against each other. Dara bit her lower lip before she quietly uttered, "That goodnight kiss."   Jiyong realized what she meant once he caught her covering her face, obviously blushing. He recalled what had happened that night. That kiss that he gave her meant nothing to him. In fact, it was a mistake. He mistaken her as Eunji that night under the influence of alcohol. He shook his head, "I told you this before nuna. I was under the influence of alcohol. That kiss was just an accident."   He tried explaining to her again, for the fifth time that month.   She shrugged, "To me, it meant something."   He was surprised that she was so blunt and stubborn. Two years ago, he had explained to her that the kiss he gave her was just a mistaken. That kiss wasn't meant for her but she never tried to understand and absorbed those words in. It was a mistake that he never wanted to remember. When that incident happened, he has been dating Eunji for more than a year. He hates it when Dara brings it back up. He thought she could just move on and get over it since he wasn't returning any love for her. He has been neglecting her for awhile now but she just didn't get the message.   "Nuna..." He was about to continue but stopped himself once he heard the music coming to an end. He sighed and bowed to her. "I'll be leaving now. I'll see you around." He stated before walking away. He walked over to the rest and bid his goodbyes while hugging onto the boxes that he was still hugging.   "Give her the gifts! Remember, it's not for you!" Bom's voice pierced through his ears as he watched her giving him death glares with her hands on her hips. She looked scary, he thought.   Chaerin laughed as she marched over to him. Jiyong was already leaning against the door, "Oppa, what was that all about?" She glanced over to Dara, who was now with the rest of the girls on the dance floor.   "Do I really need to explain it to you?" He gave her that obvious look.   She sighed, "Seriously? Again?"   Jiyong has always been close to Chaerin so he told her about it. Chaerin was being stuck between the three; Jiyong, Eunji, and Dara. She didn't know how to deal with it. She thought it would be easy to just step out of it but because her best friend was involved, it made her have doubts and it was just difficult for her. Jiyong sighed stepped out of the door as Chaerin held the door for him. "Give this back to her."   Jiyong threw up a peace sign and walked away before Chaerin could say another word. He didn't want to hear anything else that has to do with Dara. He thought it was just too much to handle. He wanted the whole thing to be blown over by now but Dara just kept bringing it up. She wasn't going to give up and Chaerin and Jiyong knows that clearly. In his hand were two gift boxes that were wrapped up neatly. The sizes weren't so big so he shifted it all in one hand. He held it firmly. He shook it for a bit out of curiosity. He wanted to know what was inside. He wondered what Bom has gotten for his girlfriend. He chuckled once he imagined the look that will be on his girlfriend once he comes home with gifts.   "Jiyong!"   Running up to him was no other than Dara. She panted pretty heavily when she reached him. He sighed quietly to himself. He was feel stressed over it. He wanted Dara to just get over him already. It was just one kiss, he thought. It can't just make a girl so swoon over a guy. It was just ridiculous, he thought. "Are you really not going to accept it?" She managed to question him as she raised the gift between them.    "I'm sorry. I can't accept that." He was about to leave but was held back by the arm. Dara stepped up to him and
