This story is based on the recent events surrounding Seungri of Big Bang. Around late September 2012 some mobile phone photos of him sleeping in the were leaked to the Japanese press. The woman behind it claimed he had simply thrown a towel in her direction after doing the dirty and hadn’t kissed her once.

A week or so later Seungri was photographed on the street. He appeared to be on the receiving end of some flirty attention from his drunken co-star.

The headlines screamed. What is the world coming to? Strings of women! Binders, even! The innocent maknae isn’t quite so innocent after all!

The K-pop fans however, didn’t give a . Hey, you play with matches, you get burned. Besides, they said, the woman’s actions tell us far more about her own personality than Seungri’s. Selling pictures of famous conquests to the press? She’s clearly a classy dame!

It all blew over in a matter of days. From what I can tell, it has had absolutely no effect on Seungri’s career. But there was a brief moment of uncertainty, public scoldings from the bandmates and all. This story is an attempt to explore those unsteady days.

I will also point out that there is no slash in this story. Instead, I went for a theme of bonds and brotherhood.

Some dates and times may not be accurate, but I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. Also, I personally don’t give a stuff about scandals in general. And until I started writing this story, I didn’t particularly care for Seungri either. At least, in my mind, I can try to understand him a little better now.
