"Seungri... I... urm.. I love you. Would you go out with me?". 

Seungri is dumbfounded as he stares at his favourite leader. Well, he didn't see this coming. Not at all but the situation right now is pretty hard. Jiyong is waiting for his answer, his face was red and he's been staring down to his feet all the time. The leader is never like this, even though sometimes he's shy but he's very confident on the outside. Confessing to people take a lot of effort and sure he don't want to turn Jiyong down... Beside, Jiyong is the leader of the group and he know it well that when he make a decision, he can't be moved. However,Seungri can't lie either. 

 

"Hyung... I like you but to be honest, I don't know if I can feel like how you did toward me... but, I'll try my best."

 

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡

 

The maknae leaned back agaisnt the chair of YG building cafeteria, sipping on his strawberry milkshake as the word that he told Jiyong weeks ago come back to his mind. 

Jiyong and him is together now but yet there's one thing that always bugging him. 

'How exactly does one do about trying to fall in love with someone?'

Seungri often finds himself strandelled without answer about what he supposed to do in order to properly respond to Jiyong's feeling. 

All this thing is new to him. Well, it's not like he haven't date before. He did but all his ex's is someone that he come to love first and he know what his heart felt. However, this time it was him who received the confession, on top of that... the person is his team mate, his leader, a best friend that he loved the most. So he really don't know what to do and for sure he knows that right now, his heart didn't feel that way toward Jiyong but no matter what is it, he don't want to hurt Jiyong.

He thought that the feeling would slowly change if he try but until now, there's isn't anything. Now he feel bad for continuing giving false hope to Jiyong. Why must the leader love him? Out of all people... 

Seungri sighed heavily. It can't be this way. Jiyong had done a lot of thing for him so returning his love would be a great favor.  All he have to do is try. 

'I guess I should start by attaining the proper form... so, let's start by trying to be like actual boyfriends.'

"Seungri-ah!".

Seungri snaps out from his thought when a person come standing in front of him, breathing heavily as he pull the chair to sit down. 

He caught himself staring for a while before he snaps out of it and avert his gaze, reaching for the chopstick instead. 

"You're late." He said shortly, passing a glass of water to Jiyong. 

The leader took it and drink it half. "I'm sorry, Teddy hyung ask for my help with the new song arrangement."

"You don't have to run tho, it's not like I'm going anywhere." He smiled and he saw a light shade of pink adorning his hyung cheeks. 

"Well, it feels like a waste if I don't." Jiyong said as he make himself comfortable on the chair. He is breathing normally by now and looked more calm.

They start eating and Jiyong reached for a pickled radish and along the way, his hand brushed gently with Seungri's. This time it's not the leader who feels shy but instead it was Seungri.

Suddenly being left alone with Jiyong like this make him feels nervous. His heart start to beat faster than it normally does and the scene last night come to his mind. Actually after the confession, they kinda kiss and only now Seungri feels his cheek burning at the memory. 

Whatever. There's no time to feel like this now because he got to act like boyfriends with Jiyong. 

The maknae too a few calming breath and he pick up one slice of spicy rice cakes with his chopstick.

"Jiyong-ie hyung!. Here, say 'ahh'..." He pointed it at Jiyong's face. 

-clank- The spoon in Jiyong's hold falls on the table.

"Huh?".

"You don't want it? It's spicy rice cakes. Come on open up." Seungri said again and a moment later, a red faced Jiyong takes it inside his mouth. He avert his gaze away from the maknae's face as he chew on his food silently.

The rest of the lunch time goes as Seungri occasionally feeding Jiyong this and that while Jiyong has to struggle to maintain his cool. He was shy but that didn't mean that he don't like it... it just, it's unusual for Seungri to do those kind of things and it always him who initiate it first.

After they finished their meal, Jiyong returned to his personal studio because he still have work to do and Seungri decided to follow. He need to play his role as a boyfriend and boyfriend sticks together right?

The maknae's sit down on the black couch behind Jiyong's working table, staring at the leader as he busy making music for their new upcoming album. It just the last touch up for their song, so he didn't have to help with anything but Seungri just couldn't stand doing nothing.

He glance at his wrist watch, finding that it almost one and half hour since Jiyong started working. Once or twice he would catch Jiyong strecthing his sore muscles. He knows how tired Jiyong is lately... if all the recording and practice makes him tired, the leader would feel double because his position in the group makes him bear all those responsibilities. And being a perfectionist himself doesn't make anything better. 

'Poor Jiyong-ie hyung.' He whispered softly and then, an idea comes to his mind. 

"Jiyong-ie hyung!". He called, a bit loud because Jiyong is wearing his headphones. He thought it might be a bad idea to disturb the leader, however to his suprise, Jiyong imadiately respond. The older turn his chair to face him.

"Yes maknae. Is anything wrong?." He asked, pulling down his headphone. His voice is gentle and no where near mad. Somehow it makes Seungri feel warm all over.

"Ah, it's nothing..." He find himself fidjeting when Jiyong is staring intently at him. "It just that, you seems tired. Err... if you want, I can lend you my lap and maybe you can take a short nap."

Seungri looked up to Jiyong direction. He felt his blood rushed up to his cheek as he pressed his lips together, waiting for Jiyong's answer.

Silences followed and moment later, the leader finally gets up from his chair and walk toward Seungri. 

With one swift motion, a slap was delivered to the back of the maknae's head. 

"OWW! What the hell are you doing hyung?!". Seungri eyes tear a bit as he hold his poor head.

"Stop forcing yourself!". Jiyong shouted, putting one palm on Seungri head as he pressed the boy down lightly. "Don't think I don't know whats running on in that punny brain of yours. Just because we are 'officially' dating now, it doesn't mean that you have to act like my boyfriend!."

Seungri slapped Jiyong's hands away, standing up on his two feets. "Whats wrong with me forcing myself huh?! If you are really serious about me then I'm gonna be serious about dating you too. Didn't I said that I'll try my best?!". 

Jiyong sighed heavily as he sit back on his swivel chair, still facing Seungri.  "Are you stupid?. I told you before that I don't want you to do that kind of effort for me?". This time Jiyong didn't yell but he still sound annoyed.

"B...But..." Seungri tried to object but wisely shut his mouth up when Jiyong shoot him a 'look' look. He sit back on the couch, staring down to his hand.

Jiyong's heart soften at this. "Listen. I really appreciate what you try to do but, in this case... I'm the one who had to tried hard. You don't have to do anything okay?."

"It's not fair then." Seungri said, clutching his fist. "I don't like leaving it all up to you while I just sit here doing nothing... I mean, I want to fall in love with you too, you know."

Jiyong stared at Seungri face at the moment he hear the word. Here it goes again, the fluttering feeling inside his stomach. He finds himself to fall all over again with his beloved maknae but then, he turned away. He had been selfish and he can't affort to be like that again.

"No way..."

"Why not?!". Seungri back on his feet. Now this conversation had really make him annoyed. 

"Can you just sit there quietly and date me?!." Jiyong clicked his tounge frustratingly.

"Well, screw you! How am I supposed to act like that? Don't ignore my feeling you stupid leader!."

"Yah! Seungri. You-" Jiyong is about to give a lesson to Seungri for his mouth but he can't bring himself to do it when he see his maknae's face. Seungri is standing in front of him, looking so venurable and troubled. 

"I just want to say that I don't mind, why are you making things difficul?... or is it because you don't want to lay your head on my lap?." The maknae ask in his pained voice and Jiyong felt like his heart throb painfully. 

Never once that kind of thought ever crosses his mind. It just that he don't want Seungri to force himself doing something he don't like but at the end, Jiyong decided to give in.

He walked to the younger, push him down softly on the couch and lay down with his head on the maknae's lap. It's comfortable and this intimacy makes his heart beats wildly than ever. Seungri is so close with him and he can smell the boy's perfume clearly now. He was overwhelmed with happiness that he feel want to burst into millions colours and sparkle.

Seungri stares down at the leader and Jiyong felt his face burning so he put an arm above his forhead and looked away.

"You know hyung... you got all worked up but is it perhaps because you're just embarrased to do this with me?".

"Shut up." Jiyong said, annoyed. "Do you forget the fact that I love you so much that I could jump on you... geez, you got no sense of self-preservation at all."

Seungri giggled and Jiyong thought it sounds like a bottle soda when you twist the cap open, fun and refreshing. "What that supposes to mean? Beside, I know you wouldn't do that. You love me too much." He giggled again and Jiyong felt like he gonna melt. 

"You are a demon."

Seungri just smiled and he leaned agaisnt the couch. A moment passed that he notice Jiyong had start breathing evenly, thats mean he had fallen asleep.

He moved the leader hand away and stares at his sleeping face. Jiyong look less stressed and calm. He does look cute somehow and Seungri couldn't help but to run his finger through the strands of Jiyong's hairs.

The maknae pressed his lips into a thin smile. What on earth he had done to deserve loves from this great man. He really hope that soon he could return those feeling back. However, he just don't understands why Jiyong insisted on working hard alk by himself. Didn't he trust him when he said that he'll try his best? 

Well, he understand that Jiyong is so used to working hard on himself. He had lived thay way since he's a little kid and even when he confessed, Seungri can see that he's working hard too. 

When Jiyong told him to not force himself, he get irritated. It look like Jiyong don't beleive in his word and it feels like he had giving up on him. He has told the leader that he'll try his best and Jiyong should beleive that sooner or later, he would eventually falls in love too.

 

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♥

 

Jitong definately wants to beleive when Seungri said thay he want to fall equally in love with him too, however you can't force yourself to feel a certain way about someone through effort and hard work. Especially when you had nothing for that person to begin with.

And yet, since he didn't have any confidence that  he'll be able to get Seungri to fall for him too, then of course there is no way he can understand how Seungri gonna force homself to fall in love with him...

Jiyong took out his phone to call Seungri. They promised to eat dinner together today so he want to remind the maknae in case he forget.

Before he could dial Seungri's number, his phone ringed... indicating a call and he smiles when he sees the caller ID. 

Seungriya♥

"Yeoboseyo Jiyong-ie hyung." Jiyong couldn't help but to grinn when he hear Seungri voice.

"Yes maknae. If you call to remind me about the dinner, don't worry... I didn't forget and I almost done at the studio. I'll pick you up at 8 okay?".

"Ah... about the dinner, I'm really sorry hyung. I got an important meeting tomorrow regarding my academy and I need to prepare for it earlier. I am sorry hyung, they just tell me now. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you next time."

Jiyong had unconsciously gripping on his phone and clenching his jaw. He is pissed because he really look forward for this date tonight and he even work really hard to finish early today. How could Seungri...

"Hyung..." Seungri called when he heard silences on the other side and that when Jiyong flip.

"You promised to eat dinner with me!! Cancel it NOW!!". He yelled a little to loud that it drove Seungri speechless. He don't know what to say or how to react if the leader behaving like this.

Jiyong upon realizing his mistakes force himself to calm down. He don't want to scare Seungri away from him. 

"Sorry... I guess it can't be helped since the meeting is important. It's fine, we'll do it some other time. Take care Seungri."

He guess that Seungri is upset with him because the boy didn't say anything. Jiyong want to hang up but suddenly Seungri call him.

"Wait! Wait! Hyung!". 

"Yes Ri." He put the phone back to his ear. 

"Ermm... I... I just don't want to make you feel bad." Silences and Jiyong just could see that Seungri is fidjeting right now. "Tell me if there's anything I could do to make you feel better..."

And now, its his turn to be speechless. 

"Hyung... are you there?".

"I'll come to your apartment Ri." And he hanged up, grabbing his bag and rushed out from the studio.

 

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡

 

Jiyong had Seungri trapped between him and the wall of the boy's apartment as soon as Seungri let him in. He put his arm at the side of Seungri's head to make sure the boy didn't and can't run away from him as he kissed those pair of chubby lips.

He kissed it like it was his first time having its taste, not planning to let go until he felt a gentle tug on his shirt. Jiyong pulls away to let Seungri' catch his breath and his heart skips a beat when he looked at the boy lovely face.

Seungri is panting, leaning completely agaisnt the wall and his lips were red swollen. Jiyong couldn't resist to lean in for another kiss. He on Seungri's lower lips and nibbled at it afterward. 

"Nnn... hyu..ng. Its.. Its late." Seungri put his hand on Jiyong chest as he tried to speak but it hard when Jiyong keep on kissing his lips. He push harder and finally manage to pull away from Jiyong. 

"Hyung... I'm sorry but I need to prepare for tomorrow and you should take a rest too." Seungri said timidly as Jiyong is staring at him intensely.

Instead of letting go, Jiyong wrap his arm around Seungri's waist and pulls him closer. The maknae feels his cheek burn at this and so do the leader but he can't bring himself to stop.

"A little bit more. It fine isn't it?". He didn't ask but he demand for it. Seeing how determined Jiyong is, Seungri thought he can't do anything to make the leader stop. 

O..okay." The maknae said nervously. 

Once again Jiyong leaned in for a kiss, his hand move to Seungri's hand and he pinned them both to the wall. Seungri flinch when he felt Jiyong's tongue swiping across his lips, asking for entrace and he don't know what to do. His heart is beating wildly and he start to get light headed the moment Jiyong shove his tongue inside his mouth.

Jiyong waste no time to devour Seungri's sweet cavern, he everything... from the maknae teeth to his soft palate and then he swirls their tongue together. Its addicting and Jiyong couldn't bring himself to stop when he heard soft moan comIng out from the boy mouth.

Jiyong open his eyes a bit and his heart flutter upon seeing how the maknae shuts his eyes tightly with face red as a beet when he struggle to catch a breath. Noticing this, Jiyong decide to stop, giving Seungri's lower lips a gentle bite before he pulls away.

He can't help it, whenever they were together and doing things like this, he start to expect more from this relationship. Maybe after this, Seungri will catch up with his feeling and return it fully. 

"Seungri... I... I love you." He said and when he lift his head to look at the boy, the sight in front of him make his heart wrenched.

His Seungri, the person he love and vow to always make him happy now... is crying. The maknae stared  down to the floor, biting on his lips to surpress his sobs. He was scared and get overwhelmed with feeling that he can't no longer control.

Jiyong grit his teeth. He is furious at the moment he saw the tears that falling down from Seungri eyes. He was mad because he was the one who caused it. Without thinking, Jiyong lift his fist and punched himself on the head, making Seungri startled. He stops crying because of it.

"Hyung." The maknae start to get panic.

Jiyong pull out a hanky from his pocket and use it to wipe Seungri's face. 

"Can't breath... H..Hyung."

He twitch when he saw a newly formed bruish around Seungri's wrist. Maybe he had squeeze the boy a little too hard just now. Jiyong began to hate himself more for his lack of self control. 

"Hyung!." Seungri's voice snap him out from his thought. The younger hold his hand tenderly. "I'm fine! See, it already stop." He smiled and Jiyong felt like he just want to kill himself right now.

"I forced you didn't I?". He asked regretfully.

"What?..No! Of course no! We both agree to it okay." Seungri said panickly, not wanting Jiyong to feel bad but the leader already feel worst.

"Damnit!"

Jiyong took a few steps back as he let himself falls on his knees, running a hand through his hair in frustration.

"I'm sorry Ri... I want to treat you gently... I know I should feel satisfied when you agree to stay with me.. I shouldn't ask for more."

Jiyong felt guilty. He love this person so much that he want to give his all to him but everytime he shove his feeling to Seungri... the maknae always wear a painfull expression on his face. He want to return the feeling but he can't...

It was him who force Seungri to be in this relationship. How can he ask for more?. 

"Hyung..." Seungri called him and when he lift his head, the boy already staring at him. "I don't do this to make you feel bad. I'm sorry that I make you worried earlier... it just that I got overwhelmed with feelings but now, I'm okay with it."

Seungri smiled to him gently but he just couldn't get rid the feeling of guilt away. "Hyung, cheer up." His eyes widen when Seungri pulls him into a hug. The boy feel so warm and Jiyong felt like he gonna melt in his embrace. How he hope that this moment would lasts forever.  As he about to hug Seugri back, the makane pulls away.

"Ah.. hyung, I need to prepare for the meeting. It's late, why don't you sleeps here?." Jiyong heart soften at this. How kind this boy can get more than this? 

"I would love too. Thanks." He smile and Seungri grin turn wider. Jiyong know his heart is too good at choosing its holder and the person is Seungri.

"I'll take the guest room." He said shortly.

Seungri stands there for a moment, staring at Jiyong's back as watched the man walk away. He know exactly what kind of face Jiyong is making right now. He is struggling to keep his feeling inside and it seems like now, kissing is no longer enough for him.

The maknae sigh. 'What a demanding guy... just you wait hyung, I'll catch up with you soon.'

 

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♥

 

A few days later, Seungri decided to talk about this with someone and ask for their advice. The right person for this stuffs is always his gentle and warm Youngbae hyung. They meet at YG's cafe that day and Seungri told Jiyong that he want to hang out with Youngbae. 

"Umm.. well, you see hyung. To be honest, I do feel that kind of 'like' toward that person where I want to make them feels happy and wanting to protect them... all those kind of things, but for now... I just don't think that kind of 'like' in any romantic way. I have this kind of problem."

Youngbae listen calmly as he took a sip of his warm green tea. A smile reach his eyes as he watch Seungri fidget shyly with his blushing cheek. Its not the first time Seungri come to him for advice but a relationship advice is new and Seungri don't have to say it out loud for him to know whom the sweet maknae is referring to.

He put his cup down and decided to tease his little maknae a bit. "So, this is the thing that you want to talk about with me."

"I'm so sorry hyung but I think it's only you who I can discuss with."

Youngbae let out a soft chuckle as Seungri began to panic a bit. "Well, I don't know how much of a help I can be... but, what exactly kind of relationship you have with this person?."

Seungri get tizzy again at the question  "Ehh! Umm.. They confess to you and you decided to go out because you don't want to let them down. Y... yes. That's it!".

Youngbae pressed his lips into a warm smile, making his eyes turn into a cresent moon. "You're really nice guy Seungri and you're good at taking cares of the other, so I can understand how you come to feel like this to them but maybe you are thinking about this too much. You look tired."

The boy is taken aback by his hyung word. "I... I do?... well, I guess I've been worriying about this too much for these few days."

Seungri looked down to his fingers. "Its just that I feel useless, not knowing how to work hard on something."

Youngbae smiled to himself, silently wondering when his role as a councelor would end. Jiyong did meet him few days earlier than Seungri, also to discuss about this problem too.

"Well..." he begin. "I guess you shouldn't have to tried hard to fall in love with someone."

"I don't?".

"Yeah. People always say that they fall in love without even realizing. It just that sometimes you don't notice something when you try so hard. Why don't you just take things easily and just be natural about the whole thing?."

"But... I just want to hurry up and make that person feels better and I feel like if I can fall in love with them, it'll solve everything. I don't want to cause them anymore pain than I already have..." Seungri said as he remember the pained expression on Jiyong's face the day they kissed before. Somehow, he was hurted too. "I did like that person, a lot but I can't tell what kind of like is that. I'm getting confused."

"Now, now... calm down Seungri." Youngbae said. All this thing is more complicated than what he think. "Okay, now let's get organized. Firstly, tell me, what worries you the most?."

Seumgri takes a deep breath and let it out slowly. However, his chest still feels heavy. "Urm.. I'm worried if this feeling is not as the same as that person hold for me and I confess to them, I'm worried about what kind of face they'll put up. Also, how well they gonna accept it."

The first time Jiyong confessed to him, he just assume that the feeling is not truly romantic. That the leader could've mistaken it as one because they always stick together and sooner or later, it'll goes away. So he didn't take it seriously until now. To think that he had mistaken the depth of his and skmeone's else feeling is terrifying.

Youngbae watch as Seungri struggle with his own feeling and his heart break a little upon seeing the tears that began to welled up in those pair of brown eyes. Love can be complicated sometimes, a riddle that hard to solve.

The singer leans back agaisnt his chair. "You don't want to hurt them?. That how just important that person to you."

Seungri wipe his tears with his t-shirt sleeves. "Yeah... I just don't want to make any mistakes. Yes, he is."

Youngbae's face soften at this. 'so, it is Jiyong.' 

"Seungri-ya. I don't really know how to define romantic love... but, I still think that whatever it is, you still have to tell them what kind of love you keep inside for them."

"You do?". Seungri blinked his eye as he stare at his hyung.

"Yep and if you don't..." Youngbae put up a serious face and lean forward to the maknae. "You might regret it later."

"R... regret?." Now he's scared and Youngbae wonder how more adorable his maknae can get than this.

"Well, you did said that you've make them worried right?." Seungri nods like an obidient puppy. "So, if you not hurry, the person might grew tired of you and you'll lost them forever."

Like that gonna happen, Youngbae thought to himself. He know Jiyong, when it come to Seungri, that man would do anything but giving Seungri a little push won't hurt anyone right?. 

Seungri seems like to be lost in his own thought and Youngbae feels like he need to add something. "Anyway, don't let yourself to overthink about this. The fact that you want to fall in love with them means that you already has some kind of 'feeling' for them in your heart. So you should just follow what your heart tell you okay?."

Seungri think about what Youngbae just said. He does love Jiyong... it just that, mayne he don't realize what kind is it. But it doesn't matter, what matters the most is the fact that he loves Jiyong. Thats it!.

"I don't think that would be difficult for you right?." He stared at his hyung and Youngbae is smiling at him. The soft ray of sun that manage to slips through the cafe's window glass falls on the singer's golden mowhawk, making him look like as if he's glowing. The glow felt so warm and welcoming. 

"Seungri."

Youngbae's voice wake him up from his reverie. He rose up from his chair and bowed to Bae."Ah, Thank you very much hyung!! I get it now. You are the best. Saranghae!." With that Seungri get on his feet and walk away but not before he pressed a kiss on Youngbae's cheeks.

Youngbae took a sip from his cup as he watch Seungri until the boy lost from his gaze, grinning to himself. What a day... he said to himself. 

 

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡

'Trust myself...'

'I don't need to overthink the situation...'

'I need to tell Jiyong-ie hyung about my feeling.'

Seumgri dashed through the hallway as he head to Jiyong's studio. He need to tell Jiyong about his feeling and this time, it's not made out from pity or just wanting to make Jiyong feel better. It's about what he really think. Man, now that he already had it all figured out, he can't help but to feel estatic. 

Jiyong would be happy and something about wanting to see the leader's gummy smile make him more excited. Seungri finally reach the end of the hallway and he saw the lift's door that would bring him up to Jiyong is about to close. He can't wait any longer, so he speed up and run to catch up with it. 

-Bum-

At the end, he manage to get in but along the way, he had bumped into someone and now, he's lying on that person body. 

"Oww.. urgh, what the heck..." Come a pained groan and even thou he felt a little bit dizzy, he quickly push himself up with his hand. To his suprise, that person is Jiyong. 

"Jiyong-ie hyung! Perfect timing!." He said gleefully but not for Jiyong. His chin felt sore because he bumps with Seungri's head and now, he sure that it'll start bruishing tomorrow morning. 

"Is there anything else you want to say before that?."

Yikes! He's mad. Seungri thought to himself as he sit up. "Sorry Bout that hyung."

"What the hell you're trying to do, hoping around like that? Even if you're in hurry, can't you just wait for another turn. This is dangerous you know, you could've get hurt for god sake!." Jiyong raised his voice a bit and Seungri flinched a little. 

Jiyong was about to start nagging again and out of reflect, Seungri lean forward and close Jiyong's lip with his palm. 

"Calm down for a second. I need to tell you something."

Jiyong raised an eyebrow and suddenly Seungri start to feel nervous. Jiyong's stare isn't making anything better. The maknae take a deep breath. Now, now... it's not the time to feel nervous

"W...well. Actually, I want to tell you that I lo..."

-Tingg-

The lift reached it's destination.  

"What are you guys doing?". Big Bang's charismatic rapper stands in font of the door, staring weirdly at them. Only then the maknae's realize what position they in right now. He is strandling Jiyong and his palm is on the leader's chubby lips. 

"If you're that desperate, at least go get a room."

"Ahh!". Seungri immadiately stands up and he is blushing madly. "No!. It's not what it looks like. I just accidently ran into Jiyong-ie hyung." He fake a laugh and Seunghyun rolled his eyes. It's not like he can't guess it. 

Jiyong push himself up, dusting the dust off from his pant and jacket. He steal a glance at Seungri and the boy seems really nervous. Seungri is still feeling sensitive over their relationship and he remember Seungri did told him to keep the news from everyone else. 

"It's nothing hyung. This boy is just being brat.. well, whats bring you here?". He asks Seunghyun as he walk out from the lift with Seungri following from behind.

The maknae watch his hyungs talking to each other and he's getting anxious. This won't do.. he want to tell Jiyong quickly and he want to deliver that happiness that Jiyong deserve but Jiyomg always hate it when someone interupts him talking. Both of them looked serious.

"Seungri." Jiyong calls, snapping him out from his thought and he quickly walk to Jiyong's side.

"Yes hyung." He stared at Jiyong, blinking his eyes out of nervousness. A tic that he unconsciously do whenever he feel that way.

Jiyong couldn't help but to blush at Seungri's cuteness. He look like a cute puppy. 'Damnmit, he's so cute!'. Jiyong scream internally and Seunghyun who had been watching for a while now feel like he want to puke out rainbow and unicorns all over the floor at the leader-maknae sweetness. 

"The 2ne1 girls, they are holding a celebration party for their world tour at The Avalanche tonight and they invite us. You're coming?" Seunghyun talk as he see the leader now barely pulls himself together. He handed the card to Seungri and the maknae imadiatelly get excited about it. 

"Ah! Of course hyung! I want to congratulate them too!." His eyes twinkle with excitement and he forget about the things he want to tell Jiyong for a moment. 

"Great!. Make sure you dress nicely, I heard there a lots of girls there." Seunggyun whisper to Seungri but loud enough for Jiyong to hear. He see from the corner of his eyes how Jiyong's face twitch with jealousy and he decide to a little bit. The rapper slung his arm around Seungri's shoulder and lean close to his ear... too close for Jiyong's liking. "One more thing, I heard Cl is inviting her american friends.. you know how hot and y forgein girls are."

Seungri face turn red and Jiyong had enough. He grab Seungri by his arm and make the boy stand beside him, far from Seunghyun. The rapper just chuckle softly when Jiyong sends him a death glare. The maknae who is oblivious of Jiyong burning jealosy turn to the leader.

"Jiyong-ie hyung." He calls and Jiyong can't describe how much he love it when Seungri call him like that. 

"Yes Ri?". 

"You are going too right?."

Jiyong look at Seungri then he caught a teasing glance from Seunghyun. "Of course I'll go. Who know what happen if I let you out of my sight."He was too busy glaring at Seunghyun to notice that Seungri is blushing at his word.

The rapper couldn't help but to smirk at their leader childish act. It make him wonder why this couple haven't declare yet if they gonna be this obvious. Well, if they don't want to share, then he can't do anything... beside, having them like this have its perks anyway. It always fun to pick up on Jiyong. 

"Yah! Hyung! What are you smirking at huh? You're thinking about ert things aren't you?". Jiyong accused, giving the oldest a dirty look. 

Seunghyun laughed and Jiyong face just make it funnier. "Seungri-ah." He called for the maknae.

"Neh, hyung."

"Poor you for having Jiyong as boyfriend. It's pretty ironic really to think someone as shy and introvert as him would go out with social butterfly like you." Seunghyun said, still giggling.

Seungri felt like his blood rushed up to his head instantly, turning him into a human sized tomato when Seunghyun said that. "What are you blabbering about hyung? We didn't date each other. Haha, me and Jiyong hyung? You must be joking." He laughed awkwardly but then, when he caught a glimpse of Jiyong's face, he imadiatelly regret it. Damn his mouth!.

To say that Jiyong is not hurted by what Seungri said is an understatement. He knows that when Seungri is nervous, he'll say anything without thinking first. However... hearing that Seungri said about their relationship as a couple is a joke is kinda painfull. He never think of that way and as much as he want to beleive that Seungri didn't mean it... somewhere inside that boy's heart maybe he did think of them that way. A joke. Well, that's the price he must pay afterall for forcing people. 

Jiyong pressed his mouth into a smile. "Yeah. You must be joking hyung. Man, how did you come out with lame thing like that?".  

"I.. I didn't mean to..." Now its Seunghyun turn to feel guilty. He felt like he had push the wrong button between those two. 

"It's okay hyung.. by the way, I'm hungry, let's eat." Before Seunghyun could say anything more, Jiyong slung his arm around the man shoulder and drag him back to the lift. 

Seungri who still standing there, stares down to his shoe. He feel bad. "Seungri, aren't you coming?". He lift his head and there Jiyong is, smiling at him. 

The maknae sighed. He wonder, if the one that in love is him... would he would ever be patient as Jiyong?. "Neh hyung.."

 The party at The Avalache is awesome as usual. YG had the whole place rented and only someone from their company and close friends is invited. It was a closed party with no media, no paparazi, fans or whatsoever. Everyone takes this chance to let themselve get loose and have fun to their heart content without worries that night. 

Everyone is having fun, well almost everyone because the leader feels a little bit off. He's sitting alone at Big Bang booth, leaning agaisnt the couch as his eyes were fixed to a certain maknae who has been dancing with Daesung at the dance floor. He would love to join those two especially Seungri but he's not in the mood. Ever since they arrive here, everyone start to try to get his maknae's attention and Seungri, being the friendly person he is... give them what they ask. 

He want to have some time together with Seungri but he don't want to disturb the younger happy time. He know Seungri very well, the boy love to makes friend and socialize with everyone... it just how he is and Jiyong don't want just because of him, the maknae lost all that. He don't want this relationship feels like restriction to Seungri... its enough that he had forced the maknae and he don't want to forced him do things he hates.

Jiyong sighed heavily. That is one thing, the other thing that keep bugging him now is the 'something' that Seungri want to tell him earlier that day. He didn't forget but Seungri did and something inside his heart tell him it's not a good thing. One he notices how troubled Seungri's face when he about to tell him and two he notive that when Seungri had him pinned down on the lift's floor... the maknae's eyes was a bit puffy, like he had been crying. Maybe the worst had finally come. A break up. Jiyong don't know how strong he'll be to handle that if Seungri asks... what would he do? Seungri is not happy with him and its obvious, so he can't make him stay no matter how much he want... 

"Hyung!". A voice snaps him out from his thought. Its belong to Daesung. "What are you doing here alone?! Come join us!". The smiling angle raised his voice to compete with the blaring music of the club.

"It's okay Dae! I'm tired... not in the mood to dance!." He yelled too but then something caught his eyes. His maknae silhouette walking away with someone he don't know and they were heading to the direction of the club's toilet. If his eyes were correct,  he saw how the man put his arm around Seungri's waist and it weird because Seungri don't seems to mind. Could it be that person is one of his friend? But how come he never seen him around before and he look kinda old to be considered as the maknae's close friend. Somehow he got a bad feeling about this.

 "Dae! I'm going to the toilet for a while!". Jiyong said to Dae and the boy nodded because he's drinking beer right now. The leader rose up from his seat and just as he about to go, he remember something. "And Dae. If I'm not back within fifthteen minutes or more, finds me okay?!". After that he walks away, leaving Daesung pondering over the leader words but the he shrugged it off and continue to have fun.

¤Seungri POV¤

Seungri took a glance at Jiyong who had been seating at the booth that YG reserved for BB eversince they arrived at the party. Well, the truth is as soon as he arrived everyone keep asking him to join them so along the way, he kinda get seperated with the leader. 

He feel bad because he want to spend some time with Jiyong because its not everyday they get time like this. He means not been disturbed by media and all.. however, he can't say no to these peoples too because they are his sunbae-nims and YG's execs. He needs to give good impresion to them, especially that now big bang is about to release new albums. It feels like his responsibility to promote big bang. Beside that, now is the time for him to strenghten his bonds with his team mate as well as his work mate.

He goes from joining the 2ne1 girls, all the dance crews, staffs and lastly, his own band mate. He danced with Daesung and hoping that maybe after this, he would get some time with Jiyong. It really stupid that he become too excited that he forget to tell Jiyong what he felt about their relationship. He just remember it when they arrived at the clubs and Jiyong seems like he's rushing to get in too, so he felt like its not a good time to tell him now.

He waited until everything over and his patience is paid off when Daesung excused himself to get a drink at their booth. Seungri is about to go too when suddenly a man that maybe in his fourty stands in front of him. 

"Seungri-sshi right?." He asked and Seungri raked his brain for any information about this man. He didn't know him but his face look familiar.

 Just to be polite, the maknae greeted back. "Yes. Nice to meet you mister.." 

 The man smiled and Seungri felt like his heart beat unpleasantly at the sight of it. Something about him felt wrong. "Just like what they say, friendly as ever." 

Seungri just could smile awkwardly. "Mister, I'm sorry if this sound rude, but do I know you?".

The man steps closer and out of reflex, Seungri took a steps back. His smile really make him feel uncomfortable. "I'm sorry that I didn't introduce myself first but Seungri-sshi... isn't it more fun that way?." The man reach out his hand to caress the maknae's cheek.

He laughed when Seungri flinched at his touch. "What are you talking about mister? Seriously, do I know you?". He asked again but this time, the man steps closer. 

"You don't need to know who I am. I just want to have fun with you. You such a flirt, I've watch you for a while now." Seungri yelp in suprise when the man's hand is squishing his . He push the man away. The music is loud and everyon

"Yah! What do you think you are doing huh old greaser?!". He bellowed. Seriously, he's not afraid of this guy, not even a bit because he had learned jujitsu for god sake. Judging on this man size, he'll have an easy win. 

However, the man just chuckle and step back closer to him. This man sure didn't learn hid lesson. Seungri was ready to punch him in the guts but then the man said something, enough to stop him.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You're about to release new album right? What do you think would happen to your promotion if you make a commotion here?." Seungri clenched his jaw and the man took this chance to continue his threats. "I am one of the biggest share holder in YG ent, thats why I was invited to this party. If anything happen, I'll put the blame on you and who do you think Hyunsuk would beleive more? Me or you?  An underrated artist and what would your other team mates would think when their hard work is ruined just because of you?."

Seungri glared at the man because everything that bastard said is true. All the hard work of his hyungs... especially Jiyong. He had give enough burden to the leader waiting for his feelings, making him feels bad about everything.. Seungri just don't want to add more. Maybe of there is something he can do... just maybe, this is it.

The maknae lowered his head, staring mindlessly to the floor and upon seeing this, the man grinned as he come closer to Seungri. "Good boy, listen to me and everything would be alraight." The man smirk devilIishy as he put his arm around Seungri's waist and guide him toward the club's toilet.

 

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♥

 

Seungri's breath hitch when the old man pressed his face agaisnt the toilet's cold tile walls. He felt the man arm travelled down to his , groping him there and his face is red. It felt gross and in the state where he felt really powerless now makes him scared. 

"Good boy, come on... let out your beatiful voice for me." The man move closer to him and he shudder when his breath hit his neck. Seungri clench his fist tightly when he felt the man sneak his hand under his shirt, feeling his skin. He is shaking, not jist because he's scared but because he's too angry. He want to beat this ert into pulp for having a guts to do these things to him but when he remember Jiyong's face, he know he can't do it.

If he beat this man and caused a commotion, worst if Jiyong know about this, Seungri can't predict what the leader would do. It's not only their names would be put on line but all Jiyong's hard earned reputation. 

Seungri shuts his eyes tightly when he felt the man hand travelled to his lower region.  'I'm sorry Jiyong-ie hyung.' This is it... the end of him.

 

Just when his mind pictured the worst thing coming, a very loud bang come to his ears. Suprising him and the man. The next thing he heard is the man pained groan and a mad growl from none other than his leader. 

"WHAT THE YOU'RE THINKING TO DO MISTER?!".  Jiyong bellowed as he twisted the man hand backward. From his look , seungri know that Jiyong is mad, totally mad.

The maknae couldn't move because of the shock and tears began to welled up inside his eyes when he see Jiyong. The leader had come to his rescue and he was releived... really releived.

"I'm asking you motherer! Answer me damnit!!". Jiyong hold the man by his neck. He is furious and all he can see is red. How dare this filfthy bastard laid his dirty hand on his maknae. Even he is scared to do that, how could this bastard..

The man writhed in pain as Jiyong tightening his holds. His face had turn blue and Seungri snaps out of it when the things that the old man told him before come to his mind. This man is almost died in Jiyong's hand and he must stop it.

"Jiyong hyung!." He quickly push himself up and grab Jiyong's arm. "Stop it hyung, leave him, it's okay now!." He said as he tried to stop the raging leader.

"The hell with 'it'okay'?!". Jiyong screamed angrly, making the maknae flinch. The leader is hella scary when he is mad. "This bastard tried to you, I SEE IT FOR GOD SAKE!!. There's no way in hell I'm going to let that happen! I'm gonna beat him until he die!!".

"Stop it hyung!". Seungri pull the leader's arm but to not avail, his hand just didn't move.

Seungri is scared because he can't stop Jiyong and the man really look like he would die any second. What to do? He's getting anxious and then to his releive, his three hyung comes into the scene. 

"Hyung!! Hurry up! Stop Jiyong hyung or he really kill that man!." The maknae scream panickly at them. Youngbae and Daesung immadiately rushed to Jiyong. They pry the leader off from the man while Seunghyun takes a hold on him. The old man chokes on his spit and was panting hard as he get to breath again.

"What happen here maknae?". Youngbae ask as he struggle to keep Jiyong in his place. 

Before Seungri could answer, the leader open his mouth first. "I saw this bastard groping maknae! He trying to Seungri! Let go of me so I can beat him up!." Jiyong try to free his arm from Dae and Bae hold but couldn't make it as they hold him tighter.

"What the? Is it true maknae?". Youngbae ask and all three of them ready to beat the man but seeing how scared the maknae look now, Youngbar force himself to calm down. 

"You're making up things." The man said, enough to get Jiyong all riled up again. 

"Don't screw with me s!!". 

"Shut your tramps old man. I won't speak if I were you." Seunghyun warned s but the man just wouldn't learn. 

He smirked. "Who would flat like that anyway?". Jiyong stops struggling and the man who think he said the right thing continue to talk. "And what's wrong with groping a boy? It hardly a big deal. Afterall he's a ! I didn't force myself on him, he was the one who willing to offer his body to me!".

Something snaps in Jiyong's mind, the last stick of his self control. What the ?. The leader face darken with anger, he clench his fist so tightly that his knuckle turn white and just like waiting for their cue, Bae and Dae loosened their grip on the leader's arm. Senghyun hold the man into his place while Jiyong raised his fist, ready to punch the living life out from the old man face.

Seungri eyes widen in shock as he realize what his hyungs is about to do. Out of reflex, his body moved forward. "HYUNG! NO!

 

 

-BAMM-

 

Silences followed. The man falls down on his , shaking furiously while Jiyong stands there looking down to his maknae. They were all doumbfounded because Jiyong fist didn't land on that bastard's face but instead on his beloved maknae's cheek. 

Seungri is lying on the floor, groaning in pain as blood began to trickled down from the corner of his lips. It was a hard blow and Seungri is thankfull that Jiyong decide not to wear his chrome heart rings that day or else, he might lost one or two teeth.

Youngbae was the first to recover from the shock and he immadiately rushed to maknse's side, followed by Daesung and Seunghyun. "Maknae! Are you alraight?!" He said panickly as he helps the maknae to sit up. Jiyong couldn't find a strength to move.

Taking this chance, the man quickly get up and scrambbled away out from the toilet to save his life. Jiyong snaps out from his thought. 

"s!! Wait-". He don't want to let the bastard get away but Seungri is holding his hand right now. He look down and the wounded boy is trembling. 

Jiyong might didn't have heart to leave Seungri alone but that's not the case for Seunghyun, Youngbae and Daesung. Seunghyun pulls out his phone. 

'He's on his way out. Find him." The rapper pressed his voice down. 

 

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡

 

"Maknae-ah, here. Press this on the swelling." Daesung said gently as he pass a pack of ice to Seungri. 

They were all on the club rooftop now. Seungri is seated in the bench with Dae and Bae, Seunghyum stands in front of them meanwhile the leader is pacing back and forth, trying to cool his head down.

"Jiyong-ah." Seunghyun sighed, gesturing the leader to come to them. 

Jiyong greet his teeth, running his finger through his hair in frustration. The sight of Seungri's swollen cheek just make him feel more upset than he already is. 

"Why did you stop me Seungri?". The boy just stared down to his hand and Jiyong hates it. "Why did you defend him like that? What were you thinking? Following him like that and just let him do things to you? Why didn't you fight back and if you really can't, why you didn't ask for my help?! damnit Seungri!". 

"Jiyong-ah." Youngbae warned lightly when Jiyong start to yell.

"I don't understands him Bae. He can fight back for god sake! What if I didn't come and stop that pig?! What if-"

"STOP IT HYUNG!". Seungri scream, loud enough that it drove everyone into silences. He clenched his fist tighter. "It all your fault..". 

Jiyong face soften when he take a proper look at Seungri's face. Now that he look at it, the bruish is pretty bad. "Seungri-ah..." He said gently as he kneel down in front of the boy. "I'm sorry I hit you."

The other silently leave the gri couple to give them room to solve their problem. Youngbae steal a glance at Jiyong and Seungri, praying that everything would be okay for those two. He close the door and walk back to the club with Seunghyun and Daesung. Seungri need to make the right choice and Jiyong must be strong enough to keep holding on... he has faith on those two. 

As for the nyongtory couple, when Jiyong sure that they were left alone, he lift his hand to caress Seungri's cheek. 

"Thats not it hyung." Jiyong stops when he heard Seungri's shaking voice.  "I know you would've act like this, that's why I didn't call out for you."

Jiyong took a long breath. "So tell me, why you didn't at least try to defend yourself?".

"I can't." Seungri began to sobs and Jiyong just couldn't stands it anymore. He stands up, rubbing his face with his palm hoping that in some way, it can help him calm down. He don't want to get mad anymore because the last thing that he ever want to see is Seungri's tears but eversince they're together... all the maknae does is crying.

"Hyung... we'll start our promotion next month right?." Jiyong didn't say anything as he continue to stare down at Seungri. The maknae refuse to look at him. "The man that you want to hit earlier is one of the biggest share holder in YG. If you beat him, they had to call the ambulance, the police would come and there'd be a whole scene!".

"But that would not-"

"DON'T YOU GET IT HYUNG?!". Seungri screamed again and fresh tears start streaming down his face. "That man is someone important and he could've get you arrested! Not only Big Bang reputation would be ruined, but you too! In fact, you'll have to bear the worsy because you're the leader of the group and all your hardwork preparing our comeback album would go to waste!... but you didn't even think of that.." 

Seungri buried his face on his palm, biting his lips as he tried to surpress his wreckless sobs. It scare the out of him when he think about what happen a moment ago. When he sees how mad Jiyong was, the only things that goes to his mind is Jiyong's music career might end, just because the leader is in love with him.

Jiyong might lose all the things he jad worked on all these years and that really scared him, more than being molested or being hit. "Why did you love me so much?". 

The leader stares down at the sobbing mess, feeling struck at the question that just came out from Seungri's mouth. Love to him is not something new in his life, in fact he has been in relationship more than any of ever did. He needs it because love gives him inspiration and thats it... 

To love someone to this extent, wanting them all for himself, wanting to cherish them for the rest of his life, wanting them to be happy... and wanting to change who he is for them so that they could smile more.. all these things is new to him and it's all for one person, Lee Seunghyun but that didn't happen. All he does is hurting the maknae more.

"You know what Ri?". Jiyong talk after the long silences. "Eversince we staryed dating... all you've done is crying. I can't even protect you and all I do is making you cry, causing you problems, force you into stuffs, and then wind up hurting you myself."

Seungri stopped crying as he stare up to Jiyong's face. It suprise him that the leader face look so cold and distant. "I'm breaking up with you." The maknae could feel something broken inside his chest but he can't find the any strength to speak. 

"I'm sorry for making you go out with me... and for falling in love with you. I'm sorry Ri. I hope someday, you'll find someone that truly can bring you happiness." Jiyong felt like he jad swallow a tons of sand down his throat when he had to said that to Seungri. But this is the best right? He turn away amd leave when the maknae didn't say anything. His heart is still hoping and that's what hurt the most. Having to wait for something that doesn't even there for him to begin with.

The maknae is left confused on the bench. His mind still struggling to except the fact that Jiyong had just dump him. Jiyong jad giving up on him  at yhe moment he start to felt something about their relationship.

He stared at the Jiyong back as the leader walk toward the rooftop's exit door. Why does Jiyong always had to go and decide these things on his own? This is not what he want! He had to go after the leader and sort things out. He has to!

Seungri pressed on his knees to stand up but then... he remember what happen earlier. Tears began to welled up inside his eyes as he sit down back, burrying his face his palm. Maybe this is the beay for both of them. Jiyong needs to focus on his career and so do him. 

 

'The fact that you want to share these feelings, means that you've definitely got some kind of 'Love' for them... just follow what your hearts tells you.'

 

The word that Youngbae told him before comes back to his mind. He li- no he love Jiyong and the feeling didn't reach the leader yet. Does it really right for his to let go of Jiyong easily like this when Jiyong had faithfully hold on to him... even tho he has to deal with the same uncertainty every single day? 

Seungri remembers everything that Jiyong do for him. Ever since the incident that he cried after they kiss a week ago, Jiyong promised to never touch him unless he agree with it and the leader actually did. Then a few day after they start dating, Seungri had make him promise to never tell anyone about their relationship and Jiyong didn't. Lastly, Seungri know that Jiyong woild easily get jealous and yet the leader still let him see his sees his friends.

He's sure that in moments when Jiyong didn't know what to do, he vowed to keep these promises. 

Seungri pull himself up and freaks out when he notices that Jiyomg is no longer here. If he didn't do anything now... he'll lose Jiyong for good!.

 The maknae run, pushing the exit door open and rushes his wau down the stairs. His heart is beating wildly when he saw Jiyong walking through the crowd to the exit door. No, Seungri didn't want things to end like this.. he hasn't told Jiyong yet. He can't afford to lose Jiyong now.

Seungri tried to catch up with the older but it was too crowded he can't barely get theough. He tried to shout but music is too loud and Jiyong is too fat away to hear. The maknae think he can't give up now and he tried again but on his way, someone stumble on him and he falls down. He can barely saw Jiyong now and he felt like the ground is holding him down. He is helpless and yet je can't let Jiyong go.

 "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!". He screamed and before he knows it, the whole place is silenced. Someone had the light and there he saw it, Jiyong is looking straight at him. 

People around is watching, whispering among themselves but Seungri couldn't care less. Jiyong is looking at him and that what's matters. "You don't have to be able to protect me! And I don't care how much trouble you caused me! You can be the leader or anything at all, I don't care because all those thing are the reasons of why I love you Jiyong-ie hyung!! Please, stay with me." Seungri cried as he finish saying the last word... he don't know if Jiyong heard it but at least he had done something.

Jiyong's heart skips a few beat when he heard Seungri tell him the three word that he had longed for. He turn to face Seungri and it felt like his body moved in his own whem he jolted forward, running toward Seungri.. the boy he loved. His heart is beating wildly and only after he had the boy secured in his arm that he felt calm. 

"I won't go..." He said as he tightened his hold around Seungri's as if he scared if he let go even for a second, all this could turn into a dream. "I'll stay by your side Ri. I promise."

But then it worried him once again. He pulls away and stared at Seungri's red face. "Wait, I never knew you liked me! You never said anything before, damnit!!". Jiyong cursed because he's mad at himself. If only he know about this earlier, he won't say such hurtfull things to Seungri and the boy wouldn't cried because of it.

"I just realize it today! Why are you getting mad at me?!".

"SHUT UP RI!". The leader scream again and he slumps down, face red and glistening eyes. "You... you scared the hell out of me."

Seungri looked down to his finger, feeling bad to Jiyong for causing him trouble. "I'm sorry I make you wait..."

Jiyong immadiately pull the younger into his arm once again, and Seungri smiled when he heard a sniffle. "Jiyong-ie hyung." He called softly.

"Don't look." Jiyong said as he buried his face more into Seungri's sholder.

"It's okay hyung. Don't cry."

"Shut up! I love you seungri." The maknae couldn't help but to blush at this. He is shy but he decide to do something. He slowly pull away from Jiyong and the leader couldn't react well when suddenly a pair of lips is pressed on his own.

"AHH!". Jiyong stumble backward because of the shock. He looked at Seungri and the boy is already staring at him.

"Hyung, from now on and afterward. I want you to promise me one thing." Seungri said with determined look on his face and Jiyong is waiting. "Don't ever let go of me ever again. Got it?.". 

Jiyong's face turn a fifthy shade of pink and he can't bear to stare at Seungri adorable face again. "I promise." He said softly and Seungri felt he can't ever get happier than this. They hugged once again and when Jiyong leaned in for a kiss, suddenly the music is on again, startling both of them.

"THAT'S IT EVERYONE!!". They look at the DJ table and there it is, Daesung who's holding the microphone, Youngbae who's giving them his motherly smile and Seunghyun who keeps on blowing kisses to them. They are too caught in the moment that the actualky forget thay people around them is watching!.

"Please gives a round of big applause to our new nyongtory couple!". Daesung screamed into the microphone and everyone cheered, wistling and with a small poff sound, countless amount of glittery tiny papers falls on them. They both exchange look with one another. 

"Ahh, I always knew that at the end they'll be together. They're so obvious right?". The smiling angle said to the crowd and everyone is giggling. Jiyong and Seungri felt their cheek burn at it. 

"Stop it Dae, you making Seungri shy." Jiyong said, earning a glare and soft hit on his shoulder. 

"Awhh.. look at this two bastard, now they are being all lovey dovey. I'm jealous." Seunghyun whine and now all eyes on them. 

"Haha. Well, anywayyyy. It's time for gathering the prize!". Everyone claps and cheer when Daesung said that. Jiyong and Seungri just could stare at the questionaly, did they plan this?.

"First of all, we got Yang Sanjangnim. Sanjangnim~" The CEO smiled as he toss his champaigne to Dae and the smiling angle cheered happily. "All drinks and food for tonight would be sponsored by our beloved YG hyung-nim!!".

Jiyong look at the old man face and he just smiled to them. "Be happy son." He mouthed and the leader felt so touched by it. 

"Next is our awesome Epik High sunbaenim.!"

"What? We always support Nyongtory!". Tablo said staring confusedly at Daesung. 

"Haha. But eventually, our Mithra hyung said he didn't beleive that Jiyong and Seungri would be together at the end." Youngbae speak and Mithra smile sheepishly at them. 

"I didn't say that I don't beleive in Nyongtory. It just that Seungri is too famous with girls and Jiyong is basically a lady killer, so you know.." The rapper tried to defend himself as s shoot an accusingly glare but then he gave up. "Okay! Okay! Fine... the meat for next week celebration party is on me."

As soon as he said that the crowd once again cheered happyly and the gri couple is once again left in confusion. What the hell they talk about? When did they plan this? And did they actually place a bet on them? Jiyong stare at unbeleivably and Youngbae who notice this, waved at them. Acting like nothing happen.

"YEAHHH! All settled! Now let's partayyyy!". Daesung turned up the music again and Jiyong immadiately pulls Seungri up. They walk away from the damce floor back to their booth where everyone is waiting for them, except Daesung who now is busy DJ-ing.

"Congrats Maknae-ah, I told you to follow your heart." The mother hen said as he pull Seungri into his arm. 

"Aishh.. hyung, it's not like I'm getting married with Jiyong-ie hyung." They all just grinned as Seungri said that while Jiyong faked a cough to cover his already red face. 

"Well done leader-sshi. You two are so sweet back there that I thought I would die at young age because of diabetes." Seunhyun joked as he patt Jiyong back not so gentle.

"Grow up hyung." Jiyong rolled his eyes. "By the way, what's that prizes and celebration is all about? We don't recall telling you about our relationship." He said when Seungri start to stare accusingly at him. 

Youngbae laughed. "You don't have to because you two are soo obvious and about that prizes, it's our bingu hyung's idea."

"Hey!." Seunghyun said offended. "I just want to make things more fun. You see, when I told them that you two might've dating-"

"Pfft, and then you guys said I have the cheapest mouth in the group." Jiyong scoffed and Seunghyun glared at him for interupting.

"You are obvious so even without I'm telling, they have already know. Anyway, after I told them... some of them didn't beleive in it and I, being my genius and perfect self suggested that we placed a bet. Anyone who didn't beleive must pay."

"Even YG sanjangnim?". Seungri asked.

"Yep.. you know him but that doesn't mean he didn't support you guys." Seunghyun smiled at Seungri.

"Then what that next week celebration is all about?". Jiyong asked, annoyed at the way Seunghyun smiled at his maknae just now. To him, his biggest rival is Seunghyun because Seungri always brags at how handsome the older is and how much he wants to be like Seunghyun. Its not helping when Seunghyun often shows off in front of him and maknae. 

A smirk adorned Seunghyun handsome face. "To celebrate you and Seungri, of course you dimnwit. Gosh, Seungri, you just could've fallen for me instead."

"Hyung!!". Jiyong glared at Seunghyun and they all burst in laugh. While the leader is bickering with Seunghyun, Seungri took this chance to talk with Youngbae.

"Hyung. Thank you for everything." He smiled and Youngbae couldn't help but to teared up a bit. Man, it felt like his one and only baby is growing up.

"It's nothing Ri. You are happy right and that's all matters. Just don't ever give up on it okay?".

Seungri smiled and nods. He get it now, what they had gone through is not something that is typically romantic at the beginning and even he is not sure whay kind of feeling he had for Jiyong. However, it wasn't something trivial and only seeing how happy Jiyong is now... and how happy he felt right for knowing tje reason of it, he just realized... what they feel isn't something so simple as romance.

Instead it's a whole-hearted, unabashed love!.

"It's not me who tried to steal Seungri away from you. It was Youngbae, look?!". Seunghyun's voice snaps him out from his thought. Jiyong is in the middle of grabbing the rapper by his coller when they both stared at him and Youngbae.

Seungri just could giggled at the unsetteled look on Jiyong's face and before the leader could launch himself on Youngbae, he secured him first into his arm. 

"I'm all yours hyung." He whispered, adding a gentle peck on Jiyong's cheek. The leader is beyond shock thay he couldn't move. It's the first time Seungri took an initaitive to kiss him first. Well, second as for today.. things sure change fast.
