a/n: heard that it's -18 in seoul.  Dear readers in the east coast and also in cold areas, stay warm and be safe. Here's a short update to read while you curl up in your blankies.. :D Enjoy...

Eunji walked around Osaka. She missed the city. It's same as before. Nothing changed. She went down to Dotunbori. She love the street food. After eating some street food, she went browsing some shops for clothes. She wanted to buy something for the kids at the orphanage. That reminds her of Pak Ha Neul. He was acting strange the last time they met. He even bought her an expensive scarf.  She walked into a men's store and picked a polo shirt for Ha Neul. It's to thank him for taking care of her while she was in coma. She was paying her purchase when the music filled the air. Her eyes widened and gripped at the bag she's holding. "Uhmmm can you make it quick. I am kind of in a hurry,"

As soon as  the cashier handed her the receipt and her card, she bolted towards the door. She scrambled to find her phone in her purse. "Jiyong...Jiyong...can.. can you come and get me." she managed to say in between her short breath. She thought Jiyong answered the phone but it was the voice message. "Ugh! Just when you need someone." she dialed Seungri's number but it was too in voicemail. "V, can you get your hyung to come and get me?"

Seungri slumped to the floor and reached for his phone. His brows creased. He checked his voicemail. "Hyung!!!" he shouted.

"Aish! will you stop shouting." TOP scolded him.

"Jiyong hyung, you better check your phone."

Jiyong's brows creased and looked at the maknae as he walked towards the bench. "What's going..." 2 missed call from Eunji. He listened to his voicemail. "Oh !" He grabbed his cap and started running.

Taeyang was able to grabbed him by the shoulder. "What's going on?"

"Eunji. She's.... She's somewhere and I don't know," Jiyong's voice ramble.

"be clear." TOP joined the two.

"I don't know. She was asking me to go and get her." Jiyong answered.

"Where is she?" TOP asked.

"I.. I don't know. She didn't say."

"Jiyong, you can't be out there running around. You don't know where she is and.."

Jiyong cut Taeyang. "But she's out there and she needs me." he cried.

"Jiyong, be reasonable here. Worst comes to worst, someone at least saw her or helped her. This is Japan. People are nice and besides, she speaks Japanese." TOP tried to explain. "Dae, let's cut the rehearsal. We're not going to concentrate anyways. We're going back to the hotel."

The five boys were whisked back to the hotel and are at Jiyong's suite.

"Oh.. gosh noona..." Seungri doesn’t know what to do. "Hyung....uh...uhm...you think she had the panic attack again?"

Jiyong stared at the maknae. "No... No... She can't be….. she’s ...Ah.. please..." Jiyong was crying non stop.

The four boys felt so helpless watching their distraught leader crumble.

"I never saw him like this," Taeyang said to TOP. "When Jimin passed away, he managed to hold it. I know how he loved Jimin, but this..."

"I know." TOP agreed and shook his head. "What could have happened to Eunji?"

"Aish.. I should have forced her to come with us to the rehearsal." Seungri was feeling responsible as well.

"Hyung, she'll be okay." Daesung was giving all his best to comfort the leader. "Noona's a strong woman."

"I know but she can be weak sometimes and this is the time that.... that... she needs me and I'm not there." Jiyong sobbed.

"Ji, calm down. She'll be fine.. You know..."

Jiyong ran to the door when they heard a beep. Eunji was infront when he opened the door. He pulled her right away and hugged her tightly. "Eunji-ah..." he can't help himself and bawled.

"Oh my God! Noona!" Seungri came flying as well.

TOP who was the most aware of where they were at that time pulled Eunji and Jiyong inside and closed the door.

"Baby," Jiyong inspected Eunji from head to foot. "I'm so sorry baby." He enclosed her in his arms again and showered kisses on her head.

Eunji remained silent.

"Ehem," TOP coughed. "How are you feeling Eunji?"

Eunji pushed jiyong but Jiyong's hands were all over her. "Uh....I'm okay now. Sorry for getting you all worried."

"Noona... It's not just worried. You should have seen... Ouch!"

TOP stepped on the maknae foot to shut him. "We're all worried but it's a relief to see you're okay. Guys, let's go and let her rest. She must be tired." TOP motioned the 3 to the door.

"Ji, take it easy." Taeyang pat Jiyong at the back. "Eunji, take a rest. We're all glad you're okay."

"Thank you," she mumbled.

"See you two at breakfast." Daesung waved and left.                               

"babe," Jiyong started to cry again as soon as the boys was out of the room.

"I'm sorry." Eunji apologized. She hesitantly wiped the tears in Jiyong's eyes.

"What happened? please tell me you didn't have panic attack somewhere." But Eunji nodded. "Oh my God, Babe. Where were you?"

"It was so sudden. I didn't know about it."

"Did you passed out?" Jiyong asked. Eunji shook her head. Jiyong breathed in relief. "You want to lie down. You're tired."

Both got up from the couch and walked towards the bed.

"I'll be fine. You can go out with the boys," Eunji said as she applied cream on her face.

Jiyong rolled his eyes. "You think I am going to leave you after putting me into near heart attack?"

"sorry,"

"I'll shower up. We can watch something later."

Eunji stayed silent as Jiyong went over his luggage for his night clothes.

"Auntie, I had  the panic attack earlier," Eunji called her aunt. "I didn't passed out but I was almost out of breath. Auntie I can't be like this all my life," she was near to crying. "I've been okay for a while that's why I didn't take my medication with me. Oh... I'll see you in 2 days." she hang up.

"You're not taking your medication?" Jiyong popped from behind.

"Aish!! Scared me." she pushed Jiyong away. "I didn't have the panic attack for a while. I thought it was gone."

"You could have died from that small  thought," Jiyong said in sarcasm.

Eunji checked the time in her phone. "Did you guys have dinner yet?"

"Uhhh. we're supposed to after the rehearsal. You hungry?"

"Let's get the boys to come over and have dinner." Eunji suggested as she was on her pyjamas already.

Jiyong glared at her. "Go get dress. I'll call them. We're going out."

Eunji pouted. She hated getting dress again after putting her pyjamas. "Can't I just go in my pyjama?"

"I'll dress you myself if you will insist." Jiyong dialed Taeyang number. "get the boys let's go for dinner. Okay, see you at the lobby in 30. " she hang up. "I told Young Bae we'll be down in 30. Can you put some make up on?" Jiyong started nagging.

"You're ashamed to be with a plain girl? I'm sorry Kwon Jiyong. I'm just a plain girl." Eunji sang to annoy Jiyong further.

"And I love that plain girl," Jiyong continued the tune.

That made Eunji froze. It hasn't sunk in yet that Jiyong confessed how he loved her.

"And that plain girl still can't understand how I feel," Jiyong continued.

Eunji just rolled her eyes as she grabbed jeans and tops from  her luggage. when he came out of the washroom, Jiyong was all dressed up. "You weren't worried I could just walked in to you ?"

"An why would I?" Jiyong countered.

"Jeez!" Eunji nicely placed her pyjamas on her side on the bed. "I don't have enough time to put make up on." she checked the time in her phone.

"Come here. we'll just apply BB cream and blush. You looks so pale."

"Oh noona...." Seungri linked his arms to Eunji's. "It's good you came out to join us."

"You're hyung dragged me out." Eunji answered.

"Dragged you?" Jiyong raised his brows at Eunji.

"Will you two stop bickering." TOP intervened. "Just a while ago one was wailing and now bickering? Oh, please."

"Sorry oppa," Eunji bowed.

"Oppa?" Jiyong turned to Eunji. "Did you just call TOP hyung oppa?"

"Uh.. that's what I heard." Seungri answered for Eunji.

"Maknae, stay out of this. Jung Eunji, you called hyung oppa and you call me Kwon?"

"Oppa, what's his problem?" Eunji asked TOP.

"Don't mind him. Let's go." TOP put his arms on Eunji's shoulder.

"Ya!!!!!" Jiyong shouted from behind. "I swear you two Seunghyun! I'll get you one day."

Taeyang put his arms around Jiyong. "Cut it out Ji, you're soooo obvious. Hyung and the maknae won't steal your girlfriend."

"But Sol,..."

Daesung put his arms around Jiyong as well as they all left the hotel.

 TOP and Seungri were beside  Eunji at the dining table. Jiyong was all pouting of not sitting beside her.

"noona, do you remember when you first met hyung?" Seungri asked out of the blue. "It was last year right? Oh my God! I remember how Jiyong hyung was so pissed off." the maknae laughed.

"I swear I'm going to kill you Lee Seung Hyun!" Jiyong shouted across the table.

"What I remember. He was one cocky egoistic jerk. He thinks all girls will fall for his charm," Eunji said hiding her laughter.

The boys ohhed.

Jiyong suddenly felt shy with his 4 members ganging up on him. “that was a concert. What do you expect from me?” he was defending himself. “I just wanted a perfect concert.”

“perfect my . That nearly cost my job and people’s life.” Eunji said.

“Enough, okay.”  TOP said. “You two are annoying bickering and all. And you Kwon Jiyong, can you for once stop arguing.”

Eunji bowed her head in embarrassment. “Sorry.”
