I followed Jiyong into the practice room, shrinking behind him, trying not to be noticed, my shyness kicking in at the idea of being in a room full of strangers, famous strangers, at that.

“Hey, who’s the cutie?” said one of them, peering around Jiyong to look at me. Seungri, I guessed, recognizing him from the videos I’d watched on YouTube. “Is she your girlfriend?” he continued.

I snorted a laugh at that.

“Pfft, no. She’s just a friend.”

“Well if she’s just a friend, does that mean one of us can date her?” he questioned slyly, then addressed me, not even waiting for an answer, “What’s your name, gorgeous?”

“Hey, back off.” Jiyong said, punching Seungri in a half brotherly way.

“But she’s ‘Just a friend’” he mimicked.

Jiyong ignored him, instead turning to me. He placed his hands on my shoulders, lowered his face down to my level and said, very seriously, “Don’t talk to him, ‘kay Min Ri? He’s no good for you.”

 I laughed at him, flicking his in the forehead, “I thought you’d gotten over your overly protectiveness.”

“No idea what you’re talking about.” He muttered folding his arms across his chest and looking away.

Everyone laughed at Jiyong and I realized that I still hadn’t introduced myself.

“Ah! I'm Sung Min Ri! Nice to meet you all!” I exclaimed, bowing.

“Aww look she’s so cute!” Seungri fawned over me. I could feel my face turning red.

“I’m Daesung. Nice to meet you too.” He said giving me a warm smile then taking my hand and shaking it, after sensing my discomfort. I smiled back at him.

The other two introduced themselves, Taeyang stepping forward to also shake my hand, while TOP stayed where he was giving me a small bow as he introduced himself.

Jiyong nodded to a bench against the wall and told me to go sit as the other members got the music going and started warming up.

“You know you’re the first person outside of YG to ever see Bigbang practice.” Jiyong said matter-of-factly.

“REALLY?!” I said, excited at the prospect of being that special, considering all the fangirls who would kill to be in my place.

“Nope!” he said laughing at me. I frowned then shoved him.

“Just go practice, you loser!” I pouted.
