“Ji... have strength!”

Jiyong was so thankful when he saw the message. He didn’t know what to reply. Eventually he did.

“Thank you love. I’m in so much pain. I ‘m holding on to whatever strength that you have given me in the train yesterday. Bogoshipo.”

Sohee was shocked to see his reply. She knew asking so many questions don’t really help make him better.

Back in Korea

It was chaos at the airport. Big Bang and Wonder Girls were surrounded by hundreds of paparazzi. Flashes here and there almost blinded them. They were eventually stopped by JKS station.

Reporter: TOP, Can you explain in details regarding GD’s scandal?

Seunghyun clearly irritated turned to Yoobin for reassurance. He slid his hand into hers before replying to the reporters.

TOP: I am not in any position to comment because everything is under investigation. YGE will definitely update the media soon. Please understand my position. (He bows.)

The reporters turned to Yoobin.

Reporters: Yoobin sshi, Big Bang’s leader is now involved with drug scandals. Aren’t you worried that it will tarnish WG’s reputation of being the Nation’s Sister with the squeaky clean image?

Yoobin: Thanks for your concern. First of all, nothing is affirmative regarding Jiyongs involvement. I personally find it inappropriate to label someone like that. Secondly, WG and BB have always had good relationship. Whatever that will happen in future will solely depend on our decisions and trust, not the pressure of society. WG’s always believe that Koreans will look at this objectively. That’s all.

When they reached the cars, Seunghyun was hesitant to separate from Yoobin but he knew he has to. Both headed back to their own dorm. In the van, Sohee kept on looking at her phone.

YB: Did you message him? (Yoobin startled Sohee.)

SH: Neh.... (He said he is in much pain.)

YB: Maknae, just so you know, if you don’t intend to get back with him or be close with him ever again I won’t encourage you to be there for him. You don’t want to lead him on. But if somewhere in your heart, you could forgive and see him back with you, and then you have to be there and be strong for him.

SY: Yes maknae. That’s what I thought too. But I do feel you. I couldn’t help but worry about Jiyong too. He must be in a terrible state.

SH: I don’t know unnie, my heart is feeling so restless.

That night, Yoobin was so worried about Seunghyun but she refuses to call him. Sunmi and Sohee managed to convince her to call Youngbae. The quietly pun on to speaker but little did they know that Youngbae put her on speaker too because he was getting some food.

YB: Hey Bae, what are you doing?

TY: Nothing much. Why did you call?

YB: Hows everything back there?

TY: We talked to Jiyong. It’s not his fault babe but he couldn’t stop blaming himself and locks himself in the room.

Sohee looked visibly upset when she heard this.

YB: Hmmm how’s Seunghyun? Is he fine? He looked much stressed just now.

TY: Babe why didn’t you call him yourself?

YB; why should I, what if he thinks I’m still crazy for him?

TY: Are you not?

YB: Shuddup Bae! I am serious, how is he?

TOP: I am perfectly fine Yoobin. (He spoke up.)

It was silence as still for a moment until Seungri spoke.

SR: Is that Yoobin noona’s voice I just heard.

There was a sudden gasp on the phone.

SM: , they are on speaker too.

TOP: Why didn’t you just call me if you are s worried?

YB: Who said I was worried?

TY: Guys this is my phone. If you want to quarrel do it on your phone.

That ended the call. Yoobin feel like crawling under the duvet and hide.                That was so embarrassing.

Beep~ an incoming message came in.

TOP: Can I call you?

She didn’t reply.

TOP: Please...

She was smiling to herself....

TOP: Since you didn’t reply, I am going to call you in 5 seconds.

Yoobin couldn’t help but feel good. And then the phone rang. She waited for a few rings before she picked it up.

YB: Yobseyo...

TOP: I messaged you...

YB: Oh really... i was in the toilet...

TOP: Oh... for a moment I thought you wouldn’t want to speak to me.

YB: I answer the phone... didn’t I?

TOP: Yup... Thank you Binnie.

Then it was quiet once again.

YB: What’s the point of sending me 3 messages if you’re not going to say anything on the phone?? (She blurt out irritated.)

TOP: HUH.....Oh... so you were indeed waiting for my call.

YB: No I did not. 

TOP: Yes you did.

YB: I did not.... I am going to hang up.

TOP: Arasso... I will stop saying that. Anyway Binnie thanks for saying those things at the airport. I really appreciate it.

YB: That is the truth. I am just saying the truth.

TOP: Binnie......

YB: What?

TOP: Do you think you can persuade Sohee to come here and talk to Jiyong? He hasn’t eaten anything and he didn’t even leave his room. I am worried for him.

YB: Hyunnie, I don’t want to force her. I shouldn’t even interfere.

TOP: Binnie please... Okay at the very least just tell maknae that Jiyong have not eaten anything since the dinner at the Inn.

YB: Arrasso..... I will talk to her...

TOP: Thank you love...

YB: I am not your love...

TOP: But you are mine...

YB: You are ridiculous.....

TOP: Love can you tag along if Sohee is coming?

YB: Seunghyun stop calling me LOVE. How come you are so sure Sohee will come?

TOP: Because I know she still loves Jiyong, just like how I still love you and how you still love me.

YB: Since when have you become so corny?

TOP: Since I know that you waited for my call.....

YB: Choi Seunghyun

TOP: Kim Yoobin

YB: What!

TOP: I love you!

YB: Whatever... anyway I got to go ... Will speak to Sohee now.

TOP: Okay... Call me if you are coming!

YB; Nope... i will call Youngbae...

TOP: Bye love...

Yoobin actually could not lie. She loves it when Seunghyun becomes childish with her.  Yoobin walked towards Sohee’s room. She heard quiet sobs. She quickly entered the room and saw Sohee crying on the bed.

YB: Maknae, Wei... why are you crying so hard my dear?

SH: Why is this happening to Jiyong? He must be in so much pain now.

Yoobin quickly embraces Sohee.

YB: Hush maknae... hush... I am here for you.

The other girls quickly came in the room. They all tried comforting Sohee.

SH: Unnies, can I visit Jiyong please?

SY: Arrasso, but we have to do it quietly. Let me call Youngbae, we’ll figure something out.

YB: Why must you call Youngbae? I can call him you know. He is after all my friend....

SY: Oooh... i fprgot. You can call him.

YB: Sunye... i was teasing you. Go on call him. I’ll stay here with maknae.

Sunye blushed after being teased by her unnie.

They finally come out with a plan. The boys pretended to go somewhere, so that the reporter will trail them. During that the girl will arrive and quickly get into the boys dorm. Thankfully, Daesung, Youngbae and Seungri went out because they need to get some food and drinks.

Ding Dong~

TOP: Hey you girls are here... Come in.

YB: Where is Jiyong?

TOP: In the room... He locked it.

YB: Don’t you have a key or something?

TOP: I do but he will kill me if I open the room.

SH: Seunghyun oppa let me do it.

TOP: Arrasso...Arraso...

Seunghyun went to get the keys while the girls sat at the living room.

LIM: Woahh... their house is freaking clean compared to 2PM oppas place.

SM: Like duh... don’t you know they are beast. That’s why their place was upside down.

Top walk in with the keys.

SY: Oppa what time will the rest of BB be back?

TOP: Oh soon... they just went to a supermarket nearby.

Sohee took the keys from him and entered the room. She was shocked to see the condition of his room. She placed the bag of mandoos that she brought for him. Jiyong was under the covers sleeping.  She came and sat next to him. Se his hair.

SH: Ji... I’m here.... Wake up!

As he slowly opens his eyes, he was amazed at who stood before him. He hugged her so hard that she could hardly breathe... Is this real...he asked himself.....

A/N: It’s a pretty short chapter. Actually thought of finishing it off till chap 10. I don’t feel like writing a drama fanfic. It’s tiring. Next time... I’ll write something comedic or romantic... J
