Chapter 11

Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

We arrived in Korea after the air plane journey which was way quicker than expected. The fans this time seemed much more relaxed, although there was still a few which were unhappy; but I guess I can't please everyone. After being picked up in arrivals by my manager we got into another car, I still felt un-phased by it all though maybe because I'd let my emotions out. My manager was trying to reassure me which made me smile. Seungri still had hold of my hand, he was worried and I could tell from his silence.

The one thing that bothered me the most was not knowing how our band members would re-act, our bestfriends. The drive took longer than I would of liked, time was ticking down to this moment and it made me feel on adge. Still when we finally arrived at YG and whist walking down hallways employeys and artists stared intently at us as we were forced to walk past. The tension was getting heavier as we walked further into the building. Still, our members were no where to been seen.

We'd finally arrived, my heart was leaping out of my chest as we sat down in YG's office. Yang and the managers silently huddled in the corner talking whist me and Seungri were sitting down and waiting for the worst. I sighed relatively loudly whist searching the internet for a possible video from what happened at the airport; it shocked me how many were taken. I laughed softly at myself, it was so unlike me yet I did it. Someone even recorded the slap, I looked so shocked. I passed me phone to Seungri to let him watch; he couldn't help but laugh in amusement.

 

“Did it hurt?” He asked smiling. This was the first time he'd smiled since the plane ride which made me happy.

 

“A bit, yeah. It shocked me more though.” I said honestly making us both laugh. YG soon interrupted as he sat at his desk in front of us. Our laughs came to a halt quickly as his tone grew serious.

 

“Do you two even realise the seriousness of this?” He said looking at us. I didn't know what to say, or whether he was asking a rhetorical question.

 

“Yes sir, we're aware that it's serious.” Seungri soon said after it went silent for a moment. He was used to being scolded by Papa so I guess he knew what to say more than myself.  YG pressed his hands together and again looked at us sternly full of seriousness.

 

“This is big. Huge. I've had constant phone calls about this, non stop all day. I don't know how to approach this but you, Ji Yong-ssi, you've calmed it down slightly I hear?” He asked looking directly at me. My eyes met his as I nodded at him before I replied.

 

“If you're talking about the incident at the airport then, yes. It would appear things calmed down after that.” I said not really sure if it had, but hoping it had at least some effect.  He cleared his throat at looked at the both of us, first me, then Seungri, then back to me.

 

“So, You two... are official then? How long has this been going on?” He asked turning more curious and losing the serious tone he had  before.

 

“2 days..” I stopped myself not wanting to go into details causing myself to cough slightly and look down at my lap before carrying on.

 

“.. I've had feelings for Seungri-ah for years.” I said honestly, composing myself again.

 

“So... it just became mutual feelings as you arrived in Japan and met with Seungri-ah?” He asked again curious causing Seungri to speak up again.

 

“Basically... I didn't realize until I met him again in Japan but, after texting him everyday. I guess I ended up falling for him too. he was so nice, caring even after all the burdens I'd brought to YG whist being there. The truth is, after years of him being cold... I'd always wanted him to care for me... and somehow that happened.” Seungri said making me smile softly and look down into my lap.

 

“I see” YG spoke boldly as I still looked down in my lap, playing with the rings on my fingers. The room filled with silence for a while before YG spoke again.

 

“I don't know what to do about this, I need to see what happens within the next few days. I always wanted all of you to find love but I never expected it to be within the band... It's safe to say that I'm shocked.” He said taking a sip of his water.

 

“I'm not going to remove you from YG though, Your managers said you were concerned about that... I'm not going to remove you just because you've found happiness with one another. I've never been the type to discriminate.” He said again with another pause.

 

“But others might find this harder to deal with, therefore time is needed to let this sink in. I'm officially giving you a few weeks off from schedule, then, after people begin getting used to it we'll do interviews and whatnot on this subject, if you're both comfortable with this of course.” He said before giving a sympathetic smile.

 

“But, being like a father figure to the both of you, I'm glad you've both found happiness with each other.” He said before smiling. I softly sighed with relief as he dismissed us from his office whist looking at Ri with a smile.

We finally got out of the office before Seungri exploded in happiness and excitment making my jump slightly in shock. He seemed so happy though, I mean, I was too, I just wasn't as hyperactive as him.

 

“Did he just give us a holiday?!” Ri said loudly in excitement bouncing up and down. I couldn't help but laugh at him and punch his arm in awe of his happiness of being let off schedule.  But still, my smile was as big as ever.

 

“I think that we should take care of some important things first, before we do relax.” I said embracing the seriousness of our reality, whist holding his hand softly. He nodded and agreed with me.

 

“Yeah, I know you're right. It's just... how will the people important to us feel about this?” He said obviously worrying about the same thing as me.

 

“Our parents, our band members, our friends. It all seems so scary.” He then said almost like a mumble to himself. I led him down the hallway choosing not to talk about it right now.

 

“Well, let's plan a holiday for a week, go away or something. But we should try and stay in Korea for a week too? try and sort everything out here first.” I said discussing it with Ri whist slowly walking down the hallways of YG.

 

“Hmm, yeah, A holiday sounds nice. We should go somewhere exotic!? Ah, so many places! I want to go somewhere with a nice hot beach and bright blue water!” He exclaimed getting excited again as I looked at him with happiness.

 

“Ah, leaving before even saying hello?” A voice said catching us off guard. I looked at to see Youngbae there.

 

“Ah, Bae!” I said not sure whether to be happy or shocked. He looked at us and smiled and hugged us both happily.

 

“It's nice to see you again Ri.” He said smiling at him. He then looked around and came in closer.

 

So what did YG say-?” He asked curiously still looking around just encase someone was listening.

 

“We get a holiday!” Ri said excitedly.

 

“Aish” I said hitting Seungri. “It's not a holiday. We just get time off until things calm down... but we're thinking about going away during that time..” I said honestly.

 

“How have things been here?...” I asked curiously.

 

“Well, most of the women are shocked” He said winking at me whist laughing.

 

“But, Daesung, Seunghyun and I aren't shocked. We've known you so long that it became obvious that you cared about Ri. We just added the pieces of the puzzle up. What did surprise us was Ri.” He said still smiling. I can't explain how happy I felt after he said that. Ri laughed softly at Bae's speech.

 

“Ah, I'm glad none of you hate us for it!” I said laughing softly.

 

“No way, bro. You know we've got your back.” He said reassuring the both of us. “Anyways, I've got to run, I have some work to do with Teddy” He said before running off.

 

“Oh and the guys want to have lunch with you tomorrow. I'm sure they'll text you the details.” He said again before carrying on walking away. Me and Ri smiled at each other in relief. That was easier than expected but in the middle of my thoughs Seungri's phone began to ring.

 

“Hello?” He answered without even looking at the caller ID.

 

“Eh, Umma?!” He said with his eyes widened. Ah, his mother, that must be unexpected.

 

“Dinner? But... I'm with Ji Yong-ah at YG at the moment.” He said trying to get himself out of it, he was cleaver like that.

 

“You want to talk to him?” He said catching my eyes seriously. I nodded and he passed me the phone, Me and his mum always got on well, she was like my second mother so I felt slightly nervous.

 

“Seung-hyun Umma” I said with slight excitement in my voice causing Seungri to snort with laugher a little making me glare at him.

 

“Tonight? Yeah, that's fine.” I said agreeing to have dinner with Seungri's family.

 

“Eh, You've invited my parents too?” I said shocked looking at Seungri more seriously.

 

“Yah, I understand.” I said before hanging up and sighing softly and passing back Seungri's phone. I really thought that today we could relax, instead of procrastinating all of the problems are catching us instead.

 

“She's smart, planning dinner inviting us and my parents...” I said mumbling under my breath, worried about what could happen.

 

“Well, at least we know what it's about... we're already prepared.” Seungri said pulling me through the hallways to the managers car. Seungri's manager was leaning against it whist smoking a cigarette.

 

“Ah, how'd it go?” He asked putting out his cigarette on the floor.

 

“We've got a couple of weeks off schedule, until things calm down.” Seungri said smiling softly. Hyung smiled too

 

“Good, oh did you want a lift somewhere. I forgot neither of you have your cars...” Hyung added looking at us both. After much deliberation Seungri agreed to come go to my house since it was closer. I wanted to relax whist in the car but knowing I'd be seeing mine and his parents later on scared the out of me. I needed to act calm though, this had to be confronted.
