Ugh. Seriously, why did I have to be curious about everything? Why did I have to 'research' about certain things...

I heaved a long sigh before putting my head in my hands. It kind of makes sense though... I started to think, but then cut off my thoughts with a shake of my head. I'm so gullible, I get easily convinced about a lot of stuff. Articles, videos and even just pictures. But then you know.. It's him. I can't really blame him. Nor all those pretty women linked to him. After all he was just so-

My train of thought got interrupted by a sudden buzzing near my head and I looked up only to see that I had just received a text message.

From: Choi Seunghyun 

Hey Aly. Hope you haven't forgotten about the party later tonight. You'll be there, right? :)

I ran a hand through my face and sighed once again. No, I'm not even sure if I want to go anymore after what I've seen. I ruffled my hair in annoyance and remembered that I already told him yes when he first asked. Nah, I'm sure he'll understand if I don't come. What excuse should I give him though? I racked my brain for possible, unsuspicious excuses but couldn't find any. God, if I hadn't been so curious then I wouldn't have this problem now.. I sighed again and decided to just go to get it over with. That way I can find out if my 'research' about any of the four women were possibly correct, or if I'm just really becoming crazy.

I nodded to myself, finalising my decision before sending him a quick reply. Not long after, I received another message from him.

From: Choi Seunghyun

Great. I'll pick you up at 7. See you later!

Ugh. Why am I even nervous about this? It's not like I'm the girlfriend. I rolled my eyes at my thoughts. You like him. And you're meeting women in the same company as him that are being linked to him. Of course you should be nervous. An inner voice nagged at the back of my mind and I just shook my head, trying to ignore it.

By 7pm sharp, my doorbell rang, and on my doorstep was Seunghyun dressed in a long sleeved, printed button-down shirt tucked in black jeans and dress shoes. 

"You look nice." He commented, smiling as he took in my blazer, skinnies and heels ensemble. "You should wear clothes like these more often." He added and I just chuckled while shaking my head at him.

"Ready?" He asked.

I merely nodded before locking the door behind me and we soon made our way to the van. He took the company van, of course, because 1) he didn't know how to drive and 2) so it wouldn't be suspicious. Once inside the van, I tried to engage in small talk to calm my nerves, asking how each other's day went and whatnot. Next thing I know, we already arrived at his workplace.

"Welcome to YG building." He said as we made our way inside the elevator. I gave him a smile and he did the same, making me mentally curse myself. As if being around you doesn't make me nervous enough. I thought, and focused my attention to my feet.

"You're being awfully quiet. Is there anything wrong?" He asked, and I just shook my head. "No, nothing." I mumbled and bit my lip.

"Are you sure?" He asked again, tugging on my hand, making me look up at him. Worried eyes searching my probably unreadable ones. My heart beat loudly in my chest - maybe because of his presence, maybe because I'm nervous of meeting certain people, or both.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I gave another small smile and heard a ping, indicating that we have reached our intended floor.

"Come on." We stepped out of the lift and he led me to where the party was being held.

Music boomed through the huge speakers and almost everybody were holding drinks when we got there. He grabbed hold of my hand and led me to the table where he said to have spotted the rest of Big Bang.

"Hyung! You finally came!" Someone greeted, standing up to greet Seunghyun, but then bowed to both of us when he noticed me. We did the same to everyone at the table, before being led to one of the vacant couches.

"Guys, this is Aly. Aly, Big Bang." He introduced, telling me each of their names after, and pointing to each one of them.

"Noona, you're pretty." The one named Seungri said, earning a slap on the back of his head from Jiyong.

"Don't mind him. He's like that to everyone." He chuckled and smiled at me.

Soon, drinks got delivered and I quickly grabbed one to calm my nerves. We engaged in small talk, but when their attention wasn't on me, I couldn't help but look around for familiar faces.

"Oh, Gummy-noona, annyeong!" I heard them greet and I glanced back at our table only to see her. Oh. One out of the four. Gummy.

"Omo, who's this pretty lady?" She said, looking at me, and I felt my cheeks flush.

"Noona, this is Aly. Aly, this is Gummy noona. I collaborated with her a couple years back." Seunghyun explained, and I greeted her before bowing and smiling back.

"She's really pretty, Seunghyun-ah." She complimented and I just smiled at her before she whispered something to Seunghyun.

I watched as his eyes lit up at what she said and he nodded, smiling before waving at her. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. No brain, shut up. Don't act like you're someone in his life.

"I'll catch you later, Aly." She waved at me and I did the same. Seunghyun was looking at me weirdly when he got back to sit next to me.

"You sure you're okay?" He asked, whispering in my ear so I could hear. I nodded and finally looked at him. I should probably just ask him.

"So when's your girlfriend coming?" I asked back at him casually and he seemed surprised with my question.

"Huh? What do you mean?" He asked, but before I could answer, a chorus of greetings interrupted us. "Yo! 2NE1 in the house." We heard Youngbae greet them loudly and for some reason, it sounded familiar to me.

2NE1.. 2NE1.. Where did I hear that before..? I gulped when I realized it's where the remaining three out of the four women came from. I read online that they seemed to be Big Bang's female counterpart. While they were busy greeting everyone else at the table, I was busy trying to recognize them.

"Annyeong! I'm Dara. What's your name?" A blonde-haired woman, probably the thinnest of them all, happily greeted me after acknowledging Seunghyun's presence.

"Oh, annyeong." I greeted and bowed. "I'm Aly." I gave her a smile and finally recognized her. The 'San' in TabiSan - that's what their fans call them, I think. She seems friendly.

"Oh! Annyeonghaseyo, Aly-ssi! I'm Minzy." The short-haired woman beside Dara piped in and I greeted her as well, before they excused themselves to get some drinks.

"Aly" Seunghyun whispered and tapped my shoulder before pointing to a woman with long raven hair and cat-like eyes. "This is CL, 2NE1's leader," He introduced her and she smiled and greeted me. I did the same, before he pointed to a taller woman with shoulder-length hair. "And this is Park Bom, their lead vocal." 

Then it all clicked in my head. 

Park Bom, the woman with the super high voice in his and Jiyong's 'Oh Yeah' song. The other half of TopBom, Spring Tempo... I can see why a lot of people link her to him. She's.. the female version of him, I guess. She's beautiful in her black dress and heels, tall, and almost-perfect. Wait, who am I kidding? Almost all of the women here are perfect. And then there's CL, the other half in SkyTempo. The one he wanted to be 'his' in a certain video I've seen - and I'm not sure if he was even kidding or not. 

"This is Aly." I heard Seunghyun finish the introductions before they went to take a seat next to him. CL at his right, then Bom after CL.

She's kind of like him in so many ways too - at least according to my 'research'. For one, she seems like a very private person too. 

"Aly? Hey, you're spacing out." I managed to tear my eyes away from them when Seunghyun called out my name.

"Oh, I'm sorry. What is it?" I asked, grabbing my third glass from the table, before facing him. His gaze locked with mine before traveling to my drink, then back at me.

"How much have you drank?" He asked, brows raising. "This is my third." I answered an
