Time flies fast when having fun. Before he knew it, Jiyong was once again cooped up in the recording studio working on their comeback album; but with a grin that was permanently etched on his face. Completely oblivious of his actions and his surroundings, Jiyong didn’t catch the look s or hyungs were giving him when he would laugh by himself or stare at a distance with dreamy eyes. They would exchange curious glances but learned to shrug it off, knowing better not to spoil his good mood.

Seungri, however, guessed that the sudden change in his hyung was due to a certain girl and Gwangju. He was only waiting for the right time to confront his hyung about it. Not that the change was bad. Jiyong was oddly generous and cheerful. Although, he was giving the maknae the creeps sometimes with the strange look he was casting towards the boy. Seungri found it weird but he wasn’t one to think too much about things.  

As if integrated with an inner alarm clock, Jiyong would put down his headphones, gather his things and stand up from his chair at promptly eight in the evening without looking at the time and without missing a beat. And just like every night for the past week, they would invite him out for dinner although already expecting his answer.

“Oh come on, Ji. A little fun won’t hurt,” Teddy swung an arm around the guy who was obviously not interested and very eager to leave. “Eat with us, my treat,” his hyung gallantly offered earning cheers from the others.

“Maybe some other time hyung,” he politely declined, bowing at everyone as he made his way to the door.

Teddy had a disappointed look on his face as he turned to face the others. “I never thought he would choose your dorm over a free dinner at Dong Wook’s”

“Ah, he never stays at the dorm, hyung,” Seunghyun quipped making the older guy’s face light up. If what he was thinking was true, then there was nothing to worry about the Bigbang leader.
