****And because it's friday and it's freezing outside. I had time to edit this chapter for today. Enjoy!

"Noona!" Eunji had to withdraw the phone from her ears. Seungri was loud.

"Tone it down. I'm not deaf," she scolded Seungri.

"Noona, are you with Jiyong hyung? We cannot get hold of him since this morning."

Eunji checked the time. It's past one.

"We're supposed to have rehearsal today for the GAON awards. He didn't show up. We've been trying to reach him but his phone was off. We thought he is with you. He rarely turns off his phone except if he's with you." Seungri explained.

"Uh.... I'm at work. I'm uhm.... rushing some project. I'll check up on him. I'll call you later." Eunji hang up and called Jiyong. True. It was turned off. She turned off her computer. "I'm off for the day. Something came up," she told their secretary. "If boss will look for me, I can be reach in my phone." She left the office.

She was hesitant to open the door. The house was normal. It was as clean as is when she left. The kitchen. Wait. There were glasses in the sink. 'He'd been drinking. That jerk,' she murmured. "Kwon?" she called out. She opened the guest room. The bed was made. She slowly closed the  door. "Where could he..." She was thinking fast where could he possibly go. She sat down in the couch and held her head. His friends doesn't have any idea where he is. He's not in the house. She hasn't have any slightest idea where he  might go. She sighed deeply and leaned back. She was trying hard to think possibilities of where he might go. "Oh.." she thought of Kang Jimin. "Worth try," She got up. She needs a warmer jacket. Her eyes went wild when she opened the door. "Kwon Jiyong." She ran to the bed and shook his shoulder. "Kwon Ji...." Eunji stared at her hand. It's wet. She pulled Jiyong towards her. His clothes were soaked with sweats. She checked his forehead. He's burning. "Oh my God! Kwon Jiyong," she murmured.

"Sol, he's home and sick. Can you come over? I have some project I need to finish." Eunji called Young Bae.

"Oh.. I'll be there in 15 minutes."

Exactly 15 minutes, Taeyang was at the door.

"I gave him meds. He'll be up soon. The right side was all soaked. I'll get Seungri to bring some food for you guys. Uhm... try not to call his parents. He doesn't want his mom to worry."

Taeyang nodded. "I know. Seungri will probably be here in a jiffy. Don't worry about Jiyong for now."

"Oh... Please don't tell Jiyong I came by,"

Taeyang stared at her.

Eunji breathed and told Taeyang about what happened recently.

"Phew. This will be a big blow to Jiyong. Eunji-ah, I've known Jiyong for long. I know how he loved Jimin. When Jimin passed away, we don't know how to get him out of his room. It had been hard. He managed to overcome it and moved on. Then you came. I tell you he became alive when he met you. When you were in an accident at the building, he's gone nuts. Especially when you fell into coma. He was with you the whole time. The worst was when you called him in Osaka and he cannot do anything. I never saw him crumble that extent. He's gone crazy, if not for TOP hyung  tying him down, he would have roam around Osaka looking for you. Eunji-ah, Jiyong loves you so much.  Jimin was his past. You are his present. Please don't make it hard for him."

Eunji smiled at Taeyang. "We're getting better until he told me about her. I am not that idiot not to understand.  I know why he did that. It was me. I...I guess I wasn't ready for that. I need time. It's not that I'm throwing everything away. I just need time."

Taeyang just nodded.

"He'll miss the Gaon..." Eunji said.

"Hmmmm...Ahm.. Will you be here tonight?" Taeyang asked hesitantly.

Eunji's smile was brittle. "I'll just go back to the office. I'll be back in an hour."

"Thanks Eunji. This means a lot to Ji.

"Hmm...Please take care of him." Eunji took her purse and left.

Jiyong stirred and was surprised to see Taeyang  by the couch. "Bae, what are you doing here?"

"You're up. How are you feeling?"

"Tired. How did you...." Jiyong grabbed his phone by the side table. It was dead. "Crap! What's the date today?

"Wednesday," Taeyang answered."

"Gaon awards..."

Taeyang nodded. "And you're not going."

"And why not?"

"You're still sick. You might as well rest. We're leaving for Japan tomorrow."

"I'm fine. Let me just take shower."

Taeyang just sighed. When the leaders says something, he can't do anything. Jiyong already disappeared in the bathroom. He sent a message to Eunji that Jiyong insisted he's going to the awards night. Eunji replied that there's no reason for her to go back then.

"Let's go." Jiyong was all dressed up when he emerged from the bed room. "Thanks Bae."

Taeyang didn't say anything and started the car. The two went straight to the studio and met up with the 3.

The group decided to stay in Japan until their concert in Tokyo. Each had their own schedules to attend to. Jiyong was left alone and asked their manager that he will take care of himself.

"Bae, thanks for taking care of me. I don't know but I suddenly fell ill." Jiyong said when Taeyang dropped by his suite to let him know he's going out. Taeyang was leaving for Kyoto with his girlfriend.

Taeyang smiled. "Eunji called me. You were asleep when I arrived. She was the one who took care of you,"

"Eunji?" Jiyong's brows creased. "But.."

"I know. She told me what happened. But she was the one who took care of you."

"Young Bae."

Taeyang nodded. "You remember when I told you that she will someday will see how you love her. I think it's coming."

"Thanks Bae. I'm going back to Seoul. I will.."

"Bro, give her space. Give her more time." Taeyang pat Jiyong's shoulder and left.

"Eunji came? She ...wait...She changed my clothes?" His eyes widened. When he saw the clothes at the washroom he thought Taeyang changed him. "Oh my God!!!" he pulled his hair. He scrambled for his phone but then debated if to call Eunji or not. He threw his phone in the bed and sank himself as well. "arghhh.. That was embarrassing." He called his manager and told him that he's flying back to Seoul. His bandmate had their own thing to do. He doesn't want to just stay in Tokyo partying. At least in Seoul, he has something to do.

As soon as he arrived in Seoul, he called his favorite flower shop and had flowers delivered to Eunji's workplace. He went for grocery shopping and experimented cooking. By the time he's done, the kitchen was a mess. He cleaned the whole house. He loaded the movie Frozen.

He sighed. "How can Eunji overcome her trauma? This sound could be anywhere. Anytime." He called Dr. Lee and set up an appointment.

"Jung Eunji, there's a delivery for you," the secretary peaked in.

"In a sec," Eunji got up and walked out of her office. "These are for me?" he asked the delivery guy.

"Yes ma'am. Please sign here."

Eunji signed and walked back to her office. She picked the card.

                "Thank you for taking care of me when I was sick" -GD-

Her lips curved and sent a message of thanks  to Jiyong.

Not a minute passed Jiyong called. "It arrived already?"

"Hmmm. Just now. Thank you."

"No, thank you. Uh... uhmm.."

"How are you feeling? Sol said you insisted to attend the awards night."

"I have to. We're trying to stand in a stage as five as much as we can." he replied.

"But you were sick,"

"I was feeling better."

"Ok. Are you in Japan?"

"I just came back last night. The four were left in Japan. I have nothing to do there so I'm leaving the day after tomorrow." Jiyong answered. "Uhmmm... you? How are you?"

"I'm okay. Busy at work. I got to go. I have piles in my desk."

"Oh... Take care." Jiyong hang up.

Eunji stared at the phone and then to the flowers. A smile formed in her lips and she unconsciously kissed the flowers. Her phone ringing got her back to her senses. 'Ha Neul?' "hello,"

"Hello noona," Ha Neul was cheerful.

"hey, how are you?"

"All good. Noona, we have a party at the orphanage on the 24. Do you have time?"

"24? Wait a sec." Eunji shuffled her calendar. "Uh... I have a meeting with a client outside the city that time. I'm sorry."

"Oh... That's alright. But noona, can you save March 10 please."

"Hmmmm... your birthday?" Eunji checked her  calendar. She has the YG project for that day. The artist will be duting on that day. "Uh....Ha Neul-ah, I have an schedule booked for that day already. Hey, how about you come with me. It's a YG project. You might meet the Bigbang again."

"Oh... Hmmm...Some other time then noona." Ha Neul sounds disappointed.

"I'll be free after that though. I'll call you. How's that?"

"Hmmm... That I'm not sure. I'll probably be busy by then."

"Aw... Just call me when you get the time in March. Promise, I'll make time."

"Promise noona?"

"Promise."
