"Hyung, are you okay?" Seungri noticed how the leader was pacing back and forth. The group just arrived from overseas for the filming of their MV. They all went straight to the agency to discuss other matter before taking a 5 days off before the release of their album.

"Hmmm....Sol, you're car is here right?" Jiyong turned to taeyang who was getting ready to leave.

"Oh.."Taeyang nodded. "Aren't you getting dropped off?"

"Can you drop me at Eunji's. She's not picking up her phone. It's killing me. She hasn't called back since this morning. She barely answered my messages as well."

"Hyung, aren't you acting too much. Noona might get suffocated if you keep doing that. Give her space." Seungri in.

Jiyong turned to Seungri. He's not glaring. He's not mad. His face shows fear. "It's not so her. If she missed my call she usually call back. or sent a message if she's busy."

"Maybe really busy." Daesung in.

"See you guys in a week," TOP was the first to be out at the door.

"Seungri and I are going as well." Daesung said.

Jiyong nodded. "Take care. See you guys in a week."

"I'll drop you off." Taeyang grabbed his bag.

"Thanks bro." Both head out to the parking lot. "She knows how worried I am if she won't pick up the phone."

"Chill. I understand you. he's probably caught up with something. Easy on her." Taeyang reminded  Jiyong as he got off the car.

"Thanks bro. See you soon." Jiyong waved and walked towards the elevator. "babe? Eunji baby?" he called as soon as he opened the door. No answer. He noticed that her office was opened and it was in a mess. He peeked in but no one was in there. He cautiously opened the bedroom door. Eunji was in the bed. He checked the time. It's past five. "Babe?" he knelt beside the bed. "Eunji," he lightly shook her shoulder.

Eunji half opened her eyes. "Kwon Jiyong?" She tried to get up but sank back again. "I think I'm sick."

"Sick? Where? Where? Do you need to go to the hospital." Jiyong placed his right hand to Eunji's forehead. "Hmm, you're temperature looks normal to me. Are you hurting somewhere?"

"I want to sleep more." She pulled the covers up to her neck.

"Okay, I'll just go out to get something for dinner." Jiyong kissed her forehead and left the room. He was on the hallway when he met Chan Young. "Lee Chan Young?"

"Kwon Jiyong?" Chan Young was surprised. "Did you came... wait...Is she home?"

"hmmm... She's still sleeping.What brings you here?"

"She didn't came in today. We we're calling her but no answers. She's a responsible person. She always calls back especially if it's from work,"

"She said she feels sick."

"Sick? What the?! That girl. When did you arrived?" Chan Young asked.

"A little while ago. She wasn't answering and never returned my call as well. It's not so her. I was so worried. Do you want to see her? I'm on my way to buy something for dinner."

"Darn! She's probably overworking. She's off tomorrow I think." Chan Young said. "Nah, as long as she's okay."

"her office was in a mess." Jiyong said.

Chan Young shook his head. "Do tell her to call me when she wakes up. That girl needs scolding." Chan Young went to the direction of his car.

Eunji was still asleep when Jiyong came back. He had to wake her up. "Babe,"

"I'm sooo tired," Eunji rolled to the other side of the bed.

"Have you been overworking?" Jiyong eyed her.

"I have to fix something or else we'll get sued." Eunji answered.

"Sued?"

Eunji sighed and nodded. "One of our client complained about a project we did. We have to go and investigate it. I found out that they didn't follow the design we agreed."

"Was it fixed then?"

Eunji nodded. "Hmm.... I think. Ahhh... I'm starving." She got out of the bed. "What time did you arrived?"

"I was worried when you're not answering your phone. I can't leave the building right away. Ah... Chan Young dropped by earlier. He came to check on you. Where's you phone by the way?"

Eunji turned around. Her phone was now where in sight. "Maybe in my office."

"And your office is a mess."

Eunji rolled her eyes and left Jiyong at the bedroom. She searched for her phone at the office. She found it in her laptop bag. All dead. "No wonder." She glanced at the wall clock. "7?" She checked her computer. "Tuesday? Oh my God I slept the whole day? What a slacker."

"Chan Young said you're off tomorrow." Jiyong was leaning by the door frame.

"I thought I need a break from work. Been a hellish month." She took her charger and walk passed by Jiyong. "You brought food?" Her eyes sparkled when she saw the food in the table.

"How was your trip?" Eunji played with the remote.

"It was tiring. We rarely had time for  break to explore the city. We all wanted it to be done and come home." Jiyong answered. "Ah..." Jiyong got up and took out an envelope from his bag. He handed it to Eunji.

"What's this?" She eyed Jiyong while opening the envelope. Her brows creased. "Kwon Jiyong?"

"Surprise? Aren't you going to jump in joy and kiss me?" He was grinning.

She leaned forward and kissed Jiyong on the cheek. "I gave up on Mt Fuji."

"You....What?" Jiyong was dismayed.

"Well you got us the ticket. We can still go. When is this? Tomorrow? Did you know I'm off tomorrow?"

"No. I just booked that tentatively. I can rebook that anyways. I didn't know you're off till Chan Young mentioned it,"

"I have to make our itinerary then. Hmmmm, you're the one familiar in Japan. Is there any other place you want to go?"

"Can we go tomorrow and then come back on my birthday? We'll go for the climb on the 17."

"It takes two days to climb Mt Fuji. Did you just mentioned you're off for a week?"

"We bargained with the president. We're reporting back on Monday."

"Hmmmm...How about we come home straight from Fuji. No... This won't work. It's too much. Let's just climb halla san? Uh.... the ticket?"

Jiyong eyed her.

"I really. Really. Really love to climb Mt Fuji. It's in my bucket list. I .."

"Then let's go climb Mt Fuji. We can come home on Friday." Jiyong said.

"But it's your birthday. Your parents and friends.."

Jiyong cut her. "I can celebrate with them on Friday night or Saturday. How about we pack now?"

Eunji just stared at him.

"Is it closed?" Eunji was looking at the door with the close sign. They just arrived in Jeju. They both gave up with the Mt Fuji trip. They agreed it will be tiring for both of them. Jiyong suggested they'll just stay in Monsant and climb Halla san instead.

"I asked the manager to close it and give everybody the day off. It's all ours." Jiyong got off the car and opened the trunk for their luggage.

"I saw this in the internet but I didn't know it's this gorgeous!"

"You'll love it in the morning. The sunrise is amazing." Jiyong pulled their luggage.

Eunji followed Jiyong. She was amazed at the interior of the cafe. "Oh my gosh! Did you do the interiors? This is mind blowing. I...."

"There are two rooms. One's facing the east the other west. Choose which room you want." Jiyong cut her.

Eunji smiled evilly. "Oh... the dragon wants separate rooms." she teased.

"I said choose. I didn't say we're sleeping on separate room," Jiyong laughed. Eunji joined him.

"How about you go back ahead to Seoul. I'll stay here a little bit longer. I know you have plans with your friends and all. Party. You know I don't like clubbing and all."

"Babe, don't start okay. We'll talk about that later," Jiyong doesn't want to spoil their trip.

"How about food? Are we going out? There was a good restaurant we went last time I was here."

Jiyong smiled slyly. "If we get caught together. There's no turning back. I am going to announce that I am dating."

Eunji just stared at him. Although she anticipated that long time ago but Jiyong admitting to the world that he's dating. She doesn't think she can handle it.

"You don't like it?"

"It's not the issue of liking or what. It's us. What if your fans will leave you? And I'm not going to have a peaceful days."

"babe, I'm near to my 30s. My fans knew that I always wanted to get married. All my life as a celebrity, I never admitted I had a girlfriend. Well, almost but Jimin passed away," Jiyong's face changed.

Eunji turned away. She knew that Jimin is a painful memory to Jiyong. "I'm going for a walk." She got up. They will end up arguing if she will stay.

"Babe," Jiyong grabbed her hand. "I'm sorry."

Eunji breathed deeply. "You did nothing wrong. Stop saying sorry. Hmmm.." She entered the room.

Jiyong eyed Eunji when  she came out of the room. They agreed to go for a walk at the seaside. "Are you seriously wearing  that?"

Eunji  was wearing a  denim short and a cut off tops. "What's  wrong with this. We're  going to the beach. It's  hot. You want me to wear a hoodie and sweat pants?"

Jiyong didn't  comment. "Uh... it's not that but aren't you revealing that much?"

Eunji rolled her eyes and went back to the room. She came out wearing a long summer dress. "You're so possessive,"

"I just don't want men staring at my girl's legs," Jiyong started the car. 

"Do you remember  this beach? " Jiyong turned to Eunji. Eunji looked at him blankly. "You threw my phone in the sea."

"Huh?" Eunji remembered it. "Ah...oh.... that was weeks after my parents passed away."

"That's where it all started, huh." Jiyong grinned. "If you haven't threw my phone back then, we couldn't have met again."

"Whatever. I never liked you when we first met. "

"But you ended up loving me....And it kept slipping in my head. I always wanted to ask you. Do you smoke?  You said you don't  like the smell of cigarette but you were smoking when we were here."

"I smoke if I can't  take the stress."

Jiyong  just nodded. "You never said anything about my smoking."

"Even if I don't  like it, what can I do? I am not at right to tell you to stop smoking. You have your own life."

Jiyong put his arm around Eunji's shoulder and kissed the top of her head. "I couldn't  ask for more. Thank you baby."

Eunji  wrapped her right hand around Jiyong's  waist. "Really? You're all good and contented with this?"

Jiyong nodded.

The two walked around and managed to go back to the cafe without being noticed.

They were relaxing. Jiyong  was seated at the end of the couch reading his favorite manga. Eunji was stretched in the couch with her head on Jiyong's lap  she was reading the other volume of the manga..

What's  the plan for tomorrow?  Are we climbing  Halla san?"

"It's  up to you." Jiyong's eyes didn't leave the book.

"If we get up early tomorrow." Eunji  looked up at Jiyong and then to her watch. It's  almoat 10 pm. "Wanna sleep  now? I'll  go ahead if you want to read more." Eunji closed the book and got up.

"I'll  join you later. I'm going for a smoke first.." Jiyong  answered.

"I'm too tired.. I might be asleep when you'll  come in. Good night." Eunji  kissed Jiyong  on the lips.

Jiyong stared  at her. Eunji had been surprising him with her action recently. "Oh...."

**** Have a great week ahead!!!
