Jiyong 

I saw Lee Shin's post in her instagram that she's in Tokyo with her family. I sent her an invites to come and see us at the concert.  She instead sent a dinner invitation for the group. How could I decline her. This is the only chance Chae Won's going to meet TOP.

Lee Shin sent a mssage that they just got in the venue. "Like just arrived or got in the dome?" I called her.

"Got in the dome. My gosh! This is humungous."

"Wanna come at the backstage?" I asked and I heard squeal from the background. "Where are you exactly now? I'll have someone to come and get you,"

I asked one of the crew to find them after we both hang up.

I saw the two of them at the VIP section. The next time I glanced at their seat, there were two guys at their back. It looks like bodyguards. Then I realized why they have the two bodyguards.

The performance was awesome. As expected of Tokyo, it was a success on our first stop in Japan. We'll be in Osaka in five days. We're not going back to Korea. We will technically live in Japan for the whole month.

I've been debating and weighing things for a while. I really don't know if I love Kiko. Sure she had been always there since Jimin passed away. She was actually there even when Jimin was still alive. She was a diversion for the media to protect Jimin and Kiko knew it. When Jimin passed away, we mostly spent time together. I guess that's where it started.  But Kiko has been going overboard recently. I am not sure what exactly happened in Singapore that Jung Eunji was on the verge of passing out after Kiko hit her. And there's Shin Mei Lee. Oh God! If I have known earlier about Lee Shin I could have avoided things. I can't imagine how her family would do if she lost the baby.

Kiko opened the door on my first ring. "Oh my gosh Hun, I missed you so much," she wrapped her arms around my neck and started kisiing me.

I ignored her and walked towards the living room. "We need to talk," I said seriously.

She looked up at me. "Hmmm.. I'm sorry I left Korea right away and.. I was busy recently."

I just nodded. "Let's break up," I blurted.

Her eyes went big and she stood up. "Jiyong? What do you..."

"It's for the best," I said.

"Give me one good reason why we should break up," she's trying to keep her calm.

"It's not working. This is.."

"Is it the girl? Who is she by the way? Did you know that my agency almost kicked me out. I asked why and they said something about I did in Korea. I can't remember anything I did that would enraged someone to the point of getting me kicked out and banned in Korea. Jiyong, Who is she? Is she some rich girl that you're interested in? Oh.. yeah... You left me in the studio while you were so worried taking her to the hospital."

"Banned? What do you mean banned?" I was curious.

"Yes I was banned to travel to Korea. That's why I didn't came last month. It's not only that, my activity here were limited and monitored. My agency had to pull me off from projects. So tell me, was it your doing to protect that girl? Who the is she for you to go to that extent?"

"Kiko, it's not her. She's a good friend and I don't have anything to do about your travel ban. I don't have that enough power to do that." I said softly. I know it was the Shin's doing but I don't want to drag Lee Shin in this.

"Not her? Then tell me what the ing reason why we're breaking up," she flared and screamed.

"I don't think I love you." There. I finally said it.

Kiko was glaring at me. "You still love Jimin. For God's sake Kwon Jiyong! Kang Jimin is dead. She' dead. Can't you not understand that? She's not coming back."

I controlled my burning anger of her bringing the topic about Jimin. I breathed deeply. "Thanks for everything."

"Goddamit! Kwon Jiyong!" she slapped me.

My eyes went wide. She's the second to slap me and she was the reason why I taste my first ever slap in the face. How dare..."You lied to me,"

"Lied? What do you mean lied?"

"You remember the photo scandal my agency tried hard to cover. You were the first who told me that it has to be the engineer who worked for us. I believed you. I fought with CEO hyung that it wasn't you. Even when they got the evidence that it wasn't her, I still believed that it wasn't you. But you lied."

Kiko's face went horror and red. "Whaaaat... Wha.. What do you mean by that. I didn't do it," she was stammering.

"Till the end, you're still denying. I don't want to bring this up but you forced me to." God help me. Pease let her stop or I have to bring out her cheating as well. I looked up to the write up Eunji left and it's all true. She's with some other men while we were dating.

She went still.  "What made you think I did it?"

"Enough of this Kiko. I am letting that go. We're still friends. We can still hang out when ever you come to Korea." that's the last thing I can offer to her.

"Friends?" she said sarcastically. "Okay then. But let me tell you something and I hope you'll wake up. Kang Jimin is dead and is not coming back." she said it closely to my face.

I clenched my hands. I got up. I have to go. The team's flying to Osaka tomorrow. Thanks for everything." I got up and left with out looking back.

I went straight to my hotel suite. I called Taeyang. I need a drinking buddy.

"What's up bro," he strode in. "Ji, we're flying early tomorrow. You're not supposed to drink."

"I finally broke up with Kiko,"

"Say it again Ji," Taeyang sat across me.

"Kiko and I are over." I offered him a glass which he declined. "It's not fair to her. I guess I was just using her."

"Ji, you and Kiko were always in good terms. I don't think you've been using her. Don't think it that way."

"I don't love her. It's just the company."

Taeyang sighed. "You can't get over Jimin." it was a statement.

I looked at Taeyang. "I did."

Taeyang was studying my face. "You did. Okay. So..."

"I am starting to like Eunji.... No... I am falling inlove"

Taeyang raised his brows and grinned. "Bro. This deserve a celebration." he grabbed the glass that I offered earlier. "Cheers!" we raised our glass and drank it straight up. He got up and tackled me to the floor. "Oh my God bro! You have no idea how happy I am for you."

Good old Young Bae. That's why I can't live with out him. He's always there for me.

a/n: funny. I finished this chapter before the break up rumor surfaced. It's supposed to be posted right after Jiyong found out about the truth regarding the photo but then I reorganized the chapter and set the break up in Japan.
