A New Baby
♥
♥
Ever since she was a child she has always been the type of person to listen to her mind rather than her heart. How she wished that it could be the other way around, but it was an almost impossible dream to want. She always thought of the fairness and justice to other people before her own desire.
Whether it be giving $1000 to the poor instead of buying herself new clothes, visiting her mother on her birthday instead of celebrating with YG Entertainment, or giving up her love because of other people's desire instead of her own, she would do it. She just couldn't be a selfish person, it just was not in her nature. How she wished so badly that she could be selfish. Ignore everyone else for once, and look at her own desires.
She forgot her cellphone at home, and she realized that was probably why she was so anxious to get home. She always had her phone with her now, ever since she left, it was a part of her that she never left without. It was now the only fast way she could talk to them.
She picked up her feet and ran. Although it was another half a mile until she was home, she ran like she was only a few feet away from her house. The wind blowing her long brown hair, her white dress following the direction of the wind as images of Ji Yong filled her mind.
______________________________
He got out of the taxi and fled to the front of his mother and sister's house. He needed to know, he needed to know everything. He banged hard on the gate hoping someone would open the door quickly.
"Goddammit," he cursed under his breath that no one has opened the door for him yet. He kept banging on the door until finally an annoyed-faced Jiae opened the door.
"Do you want to break the gate down or something?" she asked him irritatingly.
He didn't respond to her witty remark, and instead took her arm roughly, held it tightly and led her inside the house without saying a word. Jiae suddenly became worried. Her brother had that look again, as if he could kill anything or anybody this minute,
It could only mean one thing, Park Bom. Jiae was surprised to see how Bom could bring out the happiest in her brother and yet can turn him into this malice looking guy within a second. Bommie Unnie definitely was a person that her brother deeply cared for and loved.
"Where's mom?" he finally stopped in the living room and gave her a declaring look.
"She went to buy some groceries," she replied pretending she wasn't scared. Oh but how she was so frightened.
From the looks of it, he was definitely mad. Beyond mad. He was furious, his eyes were icy hard that it could scare anyone away, even his own younger sister.
"What time will she be back?" he demanded with the tone of voice that gave her chills down her back. She decided that acting like an annoying little sister would not be the best time to do right now.
"I don't know," she quickly replied. "What's wrong with you?"
"You got some talking to do."
"Talk about what?" she inquired.
"About Park Bom."
Her heart skipped, it did a double take. She was more than frightened now, she felt like a little cat whose about to be chased by a dog. Or maybe she was passed that, she felt like a cat who was now being attacked by a dog. He knew. And he knew she knew.
"A-about wh-what?" she stuttered, as she couldn't help but look away from him. Damn, now he definitely knew she was lying.
"Dammit, Jiae!" he began to shout. "Tell me why Park Bom left?!"
"What do you mean?" she said quietly, not sure of what she should say. "She told you the reason."
"That she didn't like the life she had? The life she had with me?" He exclaimed at his sister's face. "That's some bullsh*t!"
"What going on here?" an angry voice by the door made the two siblings turn their heads. It was their mother, and Jiae has never been more happy to see her mother in her life.
"He's asking me why Bom Unnie left," Jiae responded as she quickly made her way behind her mom to get away from all the tension her brother was giving her. "He thinks that I know the answers to why Bom really left."
"You do."
"Stop that, Ji Yong" his mother scolded him, she was now worried, but unlike Jiae she didn't show it.
"Eomma! Stop lying to me!" he responded back, as his eyes were starting to form crystal waters. "You know how much I loved her. How much I love her."
His mother's heart pained to see him like this, both Jiae and her quickly went to his side and felt sorry for him. Jiae was now tearing up as she hugged her brother tightly and said, "I'm sorry, Oppa."
Ji Yong's mother stroked his back to calm him down, as she left kisses on the top of his head. She didn't want to keep things from him, but she promised Bom. She promised her that she wouldn't say a single word to her son, and that someday she would let Bom be the one to explain to him what happened. She stayed true to her word, and kept from her son what she knew while she also waited patiently for Bom to come back and explain what she did to Ji Yong.
It's been awhile though, three years since she left, and it has been but a long wait for her. She could only imagine the wait for her son, it must be an eternity for him. She began to cry quietly thinking of how she could only let her son suffer like this. She trusted Bom though, she knew that she will also stay true to her word.
All three of them, the Kwon family, were on the floor crying together. From the tears of a longing for his love, the sorriness of a sister and the guiltiness of a mother, were the tears that rolled down from their eyes down to the ground. They couldn't do anything but just be there for each other, and try to comfort one another, for there were restrictions of what they can do for each other.
______________________________
Park Bom was nervous. Her heart was pounding fast, her mind couldn't concentrate and her body feeling light. In just a few moments she and the other girls would debut as '2NE1'. They were impatiently waiting back-stage, until in a minute they would call them to perform on-stage.
The waiting room was packed of YG staffs. Bom couldn't even see where the other girls were, although she thinks she can hear Dara's voice singing "In our Out", and if she probably listened hard enough she would be able to find her. She didn't though, she stayed sitting on the little stool that she's been sitting on for the last 15 minutes. She just couldn't get up, she was way too overwhelmed with the thought of that they will be debuting in a matter of moments. Her dream will becoming true.
She felt a hand on her shoulder as a shadow hovered over her. Without even looking up, and just with the touch on her shoulders and the look of the shadow on the ground she knew instantly that it was him. He had this certain touch, his warm and soft fingertips, the way it just lingered onto her skin and how crazy he made her feel just with a single touch. She looked up at him to see his smiling face looking down at her.
"Ji Yong-ah," her face brightening as she stood up from her chair to be in front of him. All day she has not seen him at all. It's been a busy day for her and the girls. Wake-up, get-ready, practice, eat, practice, make-up, was how her day went this morning. There was no time to socialize, and no time for Ji Yong. Finally she gets to see his face.
"Park Bom," he said as he closed the gap between her to give her a nice-warm hugged that only made Bom feel even more light-headed. "You have no idea how happy and proud I am of you."
"I know," she whispered back as they still continued to hug. She could smell his scent, his nice smelling cologne, she couldn't help but wish that she could be as physically close with him more often as they are right now. "I probably wouldn't have been able to make it this far, if it weren't for you."
Her words were true. Although, this has always been her dream, and she would've done anything to make that come true, if it weren't for Ji Yong she probably couldn't be where she was today. Without him, her life as a trainee would've been hell. She remembered how she would cry every night for her first year as a trainee. She would be homesick and wished she could see her family, and if it weren't for Ji Yong she would have left and gone back to the States without a doubt. If it weren't for him teaching her how to dance better and practice singing with her, she probably wouldn't have improved as much as she did. He might not know it, but he was like her medicine that she took whenever she didn't feel good in life.
"Ehh...? Are you okay?," he asked as they broke away from the hug, and he put the back of his hand onto her forehead to check her temperature. "Am I hearing right? Park Bom actually saying something nice to me?" He was teasing her.
"I'm pretty sure I was," she replied as she gave him an annoyed look. "And I hope that you liked it, cause that is the only and last one you will be hearing one from me." Here they were again, back to their normal self. Him teasing her, and her annoyed.
"What? But that was G-Dragon talking, not Ji Yong!" he said trying to cover up his big mistake.
"Just because you got another name now, doesn't mean you got another you," she replied but finally laughing at his cheesiness and giving him a playful slap on the arm.
"You're right. There's only one Ji Yong serving for the Lady Spring," he gave her a big playful smile as he bent down to give her a bow like a shining knight. "I'll be your knight, my Queen."
She couldn't help but blush, he was so good with making her feel like a crushing teenage girl.
"More like a servant serving the Queen," she laughed, and tried to block away those feelings previously. She had a hard time publicly showing her feelings for him, or even just to him. So every time she had the chance of showing her true feelings, her mind always tell her that it wouldn't be a good idea. She might jeopardize his career and hers as well, so her mouth always did the opposite of what her heart felt.
"Park Bom, you forgot I can read your heart, sometimes it talks to me too and says, 'Ji Yong-ah, I really like you'," he whispered quietly into her ear to make sure that only the two of them could hear it. He must have been right, for her heart skipped a bit.
"2NE1, you guys are up in about exactly two minutes! Come on! Let's go to the stage!" a staff shouted and motioned his hand for them to come and follow. While she was with Ji Yong, she had forgotten about debuting and was instead occupied because of him.
Bom looked at Ji Yong one last time and gave him a nervous look. He instantly placed both his hands on her shoulder and said to her, "You'll do great, I know you will."
Just with that she instantly felt better, he was definitely the best medicine she had.
"Bomtaro! Let's go!" Dara's voice interrupted the two pair. Bom looked at her to only see giving her a confused look, Dara didn't know how close Ji Yong and Bom were. In fact no one knew, except his family.
Bom instantly looked at him in the eye to show him how much she was thankful for him without saying a word. And with the look she gave him, Ji Yong knew of what she was trying to tell him. He could have been just playing around with saying how he could read her heart, but truly he really could, whether he was aware of it or not. That was exactly what Bom was scared of from the very beginning.
As she went to walk towards Dara, Bom couldn't help but feel the questioning stare she had previously give Bom and Ji Yong, and now she was giving it to her as she was making her way to Dara. Bom looked down to avoid her gaze, she really didn't want to say anything, to her or to anyone about her feelings for Ji Yong and his feelings for her. She didn't want anyone finding out and just ruin everything.
"What was that about?" Dara questioned her with a smile on her face, she was obviously already trying to put everything in her mind.
"What was?" Bom tried to play dumb and act as if she didn't know anything and thankfully before Dara could answer, the staff shouted again and told them to hurry.
"2NE1, let's play!" the girls all said together before getting on stage.
They've been preparing together as a group for about a year and a half now, and they were more than ready to finally perform as a group even just with those short period of time together. But individually they were all talented, and they had great group work that made them shine.
eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh (2NE1)
eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh (You gotta ring the alarm)
eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh (We 2NE1)
eh eh eh eh eh eh HEY HEY HEY HEY
The crowd was loud and excited, the girls could feel the love from their fans. Although it was their first time performing, it felt like they've done this a thousand times.
My eyes are filled with shining stars
Even the light burning in my heart
Won't be forever, there's nothing to lose
Oh oh oh oh (Oh oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh oh yeah
As he watched her sing her part of the song through the TV in the waiting room, all he could do was smile so hugely at the scene of her singing and dancing. She was beautiful, a word that wasn't enough to describe her. As she sang the lines of her song he felt like he could feel her emotions, her happiness and excitement, he could feel it all.
The girls finally finished their first debut performance, and by then he, along with the other Big Bang members were already waiting for them on the side of the stage to congratulate them. The applaud and excitement from the crowd was loud as the girls walked off the stage. The girls were all emotional. They saw Chae Rin stayed strong as a leader and had a happy and proud smile on her face, she definitely was a great leader. Minjy came out walking with an overwhelming look on her face as if she couldn't believe that this was all happening. Dara was like her usual bubbly self, and was a little emotional after performing, but she had a big smile on the whole time.
One by one as the girls passed the guys, the Big Bang members congratulated them dearly to show how proud they were of their juniors. Seung Hyun gave a bright smile to Dara to see her smiling face that seems to be contagious as he also found himself smiling as he looked at her. Dae Sung gave Minjy a hi-five and a hug, he was so proud of her and of all of the girls. Seung Ri congratulated all the girls, and even decided to be nice to Chae Rin and told her how amazing their and her performance were. Chae Rin was a little taken back, but decided to embrace it, for it was very rare to see him like this, her and Seung Ri were cats and dogs. Tae Yang, a little more quieter than everyone else congratulated them too, one by one to see how their juniors did so well.
Ji Yong congratulated all the girls patiently as they came to them in a line one by one. He first saw Chae Rin, boy she did good tonight, her amazing presence on-stage was just great. He was so proud of Chae Rin, he's known her since she was young and he couldn't be anymore proud to see her grow-up as a great young lady. He returned back her hug and gave her a smile.
"Oppa! Weren't you proud of us? We did good didn't we?" Chae Rin asked her with glittering eyes.
"Of course Chae Rin-ah! You rocked that stage today!" He smiled at her with a big smile as he looked further back behind her to find a certain someone.
Minjy came in next, and gave her a pat on the shoulder. This girl is very young, but to see her so talented like that was just unbelievable. Once again he looked back to see that certain someone. Right behind Minjy was Dara, right when Dara came to stop by Ji Yong, she looked at him with questioning eyes. Ji Yong tried to shrug it off, and told her congratulations. He knew that she suspected something, but he was not about to mention anything to her that Bom would not approve of. Instead he quickly looked past her to finally see that person.
Once he looked at her, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. She was looking at him too, as he saw that she was crying. And as he saw her face, all he wanted to do was wrap his arms around her and hold like there was no tomorrow. Every time she cried or teared up, whether it be sad tears or happy tears, all he wanted to do was take her in his arms and hold her tightly. He wanted to share all the feelings she had like it was his. He wanted to feel the pain, the happiness, sadness, love, excitement in her life. He wanted to be there for her, always.
As she was now in front of him, Ji Yong without hesitation hugged her tightly and put his lips close to hers.
"You were amazing, Park Bom," he whispered quietly. "You never fail to blow me away."
Ji Yong felt her take a deep breath, and he smiled to see how his words affected her greatly. Bom broke away from the hug and looked at him longingly, like she wanted to just to be kept in his arms forever but couldn't. He more than understood why she felt like that so. He knew that she doesn't want to make his life even more complicated with him having so many fans who would try to ruin their relationship. YG might find out, and not approve and ask them to stop continuing with whatever relationship they had. He understands.
But it still doesn't stop him from wanting something to happen. Even if a bad result came from it, even if there were people who disapproved of their relationship, he would still want it, because Bom was worth all of that. More than that.
He took out a piece of cloth, a green handkerchief which he always carried with him, and took Bom's hand and place it on there. She was at awe, her mind and feelings were going crazy. She just finished performing their first debut, and right afterward she was gifted with the sight of Ji Yong smiling at her and looking at her with grateful eyes.
Now that she was aware of his feelings, every time he looked at her, her mind would even go crazier, her heart beat faster and louder. Every time she saw him she wondered if he was saying to himself, "Oh look, that's the girl I like." Every time she thought that she could almost feel like she could faint with such happiness within her. She wished she could have told him she liked him when they were at his family's place. But she didn't. Couldn't.
"Thank you, Ji Yong," she said to him, as she used his handkerchief to wipe the tears from her eyes. She could smell him in his handkerchief. The breath-taking smell that he always wore, she couldn't help but smile to see how he was always there for her.
"Are you two lovebirds done?" Seung Hyun questioned them, as he stood beside kind of close beside them, but not enough to hear everything, though he did witness the undeniable chemistry between the two. Seung Hyun was waiting for Ji Yong to finish congratulating Bom to leave, because Ji Yong was in front of him and blocking the way to go inside. What he didn't know was, how long it will take Ji Yong to talk to Bom, awfully longer than he did with the other girls, that's for sure. Seung Hyun came to suspect something, that Ji Yong might like Bom, but didn't worry much about it, Ji Yong always got the girls he wanted.
"Oh! Sorry!" Bom exclaimed embarrassingly. As she went on first to go back inside the waiting room.
She was definitely worried, as more and more people are starting to see Ji Yong and her closeness with each other. Dara had previously gave her a questioning look, and now Seung Hyun had made a comment about them.
______________________________
A few months after debuting, 2NE1 received so much love from all their fans and the people. Their schedule was hectic, every minute of the day, their time was taken up with promoting their mini album, or performing in front of people. They had no complaints. This was their job, and it was their choice to do this.
One day, after a long and busy day and getting home from a long and hard practice, the girls were finally glad to go home. Bom was finally happy to be able to use her phone again, for Ji Yong texted her three hours ago before practice and said that he had a surprise for her. She wasn't able to reply back, for texting during practice was not allowed, so she anxiously took out her phone and started pressing buttons.
" Oh really?!
You know how much I can sometimes dislike surprises.
So will you please tell me first if it is good or bad? ^__^ "
She smiled as she pressed the sent button, she always loved texting him whenever he wasn't around. She needed to always somehow talk to him, without talking to him, her day felt incomplete, for about four years of knowing him already, she had become very dependent on him. Within less than a minute she felt her phone vibrate, she quickly flipped open her phone to read.
" Come to my apartment and find out! Kekeke!
If you would like, you can ask the other girls to come join you.
P.S. But I'd rather you see it first though..."
She couldn't help but smile widely, so big that the girls looked at her after seeing that she was so focused on her phone, and decided to see what was up. Bom turned red to see that all her members were looking at her with questioning look, but now Dara's questioning look also had 'I-think-I-know-what-is-going-on-face.
"Who are you talking to Unnie?" Chae Rin asked.
"My sister, she just congratulated us for doing so great," she lied. And she felt sick after those words came out of her mouth she couldn't take it. "Also... Ji Yong just texted me saying that we should go to his apartment tonight, because he has a surprise for us." She smiled at them. After trying to lie to them, she couldn't just blow them off, and not invite them to his apartment. Thus, turning down his proposition of her going by herself first.
"Ah! Oppa? A surprise?!" Chae Rin exclaimed excitedly.
"I wonder what it is?" Minjy added also excited for a surprise.
"Oh really..." Dara said quietly, as if her mind was working quietly in her brain.
Bom just nodded, and disappointed and sad of having to lie to them, and now just turning down Ji Yong. Oh well, she looked down at her phone again, and pressed the reply button.
" Sorry, I can't see it first by myself.
The girls will be with me in half an hour over there.
I can't wait! It better be good!
Like a bucket full of bread and UKSUSU!
Kekeke! ^__^ "
She tried to add on a playful text, knowing that he will be a little disappointed to see that she won't be the first one to see the surprise. She couldn't wait to see it though, Ji Yong was always good with surprises, she starts to wonder what it could be. Food? Clothes? Something he got for himself? She thought about it on the way there, as Chae Rin and Minjy did so too, but out loud, while Dara just looked at Bom trying to figure things out.
______________________________
They were finally in front of his apartment door, and Chae Rin and Minjy couldn't help but be so excited, that Bom decided to let them be the first ones and be in front of the door, while her and Dara was behind them. She was the oldest after all, she could not just think for herself, even though she was not the leader, she had the responsibility to watch for them and take care of them like a good Unnie.
Chae Rin rang the door bell, and after a few moments, the door opened with a smiling Ji Yong.
"Oppa! You have a surprise for us?" Ji Yong greeted as he looked at all the girls and stopped as he looked at Bom.
"Come in."
The girls excitedly walked in, and as they have seen before many times, his apartment still looked spotlessly clean, Ji Yong after all, was a neat-freak. They seated themselves on the floor waiting for him to start that surprise of his.
"You guys wait here," he said as he turned around, but turned back around to look at Bom. "Actually, Bom, can you help me with it?"
She quickly got up as a response to his voice, and followed him to his room, as she couldn't help but feel special of his actions towards her. She wondered what help he could possibly need from her, she wasn't that strong, it would have probably been better to ask Chae Rin with these kinds of things, she was way stronger than Bom. She gave him a questioning look as she walked towards him so they could walk together, but in return he just gave her a grin. When they were far enough from the other girls, he took the chance to get closer to her.
"I wanted you to see first," he whispered in her ear quietly. She looked at him affectionately, and smiled. He grabbed her hand and lead her into his room. "Let's go, close your eyes closed though." He checked to make sure she did, and just to be sure, he placed his warm hands on top of her eyes to cover them, or just an excuse to touch her.
Bom followed his instructions, and her heart pounded as he wrapped his hand around hers, and walked behind her as he placed his other hand on top of her eyes. This was the rare times they could be this physically close, there were barely enough time for them to see each other, with both of them being part of a group band. They continued to walk and came to a stop as she felt him stop walking.
"Keep your eyes closed," he said as he removed his hand on her face, and left her to go somewhere. She nodded her head, unable to say anything, just too excited for whatever surprise he had.
Then a moment later she felt his presence again next to her.
"Okay, open your eyes," she slowly lifted her eyes open, and in front of her were two big eyes staring back at her intently.
"Omo!" She exclaimed, as two big eyes continued to stare at her. She quickly took the puppy from Ji Yong's hold and held it in her arms. She was so excited, it's been awhile since she last played with a dog. This puppy dog, was silent the whole time, just only looking at her as if he was trying to observe her every move. Bom was oblivious to the puppy's quietness, and instead continued playing with it, and saying cute expressions to talk to him.
Ji Yong smiled at her affectionately as he watched her embrace his puppy that he recently bought. He knew that this was how she would act, he knew about her dog that she owned in the States and loved so much, and how she had to leave him there with her family. Bom got along with everybody and everything. He smiled at the thought of her being a great and loving mother one day.
"Ji Yong! He is so cute! Wait- is it a he?" She looked up at him and exclaimed, as she continued to play happily with the dog.
"Yes, it's a he," he laughed. "His name is Ga Ho."
"Kyah! He's adorable! Aren't you little Ga Ho?" she replied as she talked to the dog adoringly. Ga Ho just continued to stare at her, not responding to anything she said, and continued to look at her with tired-looking eyes. The dog had wrinkly thick skin, and stubby short height, with eyes that looked like he wasn't interested in a lot of things, he just kind of stared off into space, that is except at Bom. He looked at her like she was crazy.
"Bom, I'm not sure if he likes you very much," Ji Yong replied as he chuckled. And Bom quickly gave him an angry look. He chuckled even more.
"Guys? What's taking you guys so long?" they looked at each other, and had totally forgotten about the girls.
They quickly prepared, to make it seem like Bom was needed of help, as she picked up the puppy's bed to bring it in the living room to show them, while Ji Yong carried Ga Ho. They entered the living room to see first the girls with impatient looks, but as soon as they saw what Ji Yong was carrying, Minjy and Chae Rin darted towards Ji Yong to meet the puppy! Dara, on the other hand, stayed seated on the couch with a scared look on her face.
"What's wrong with Dara?" Ji Yong asked Bom.
"Oh! I forgot Dara is scared of dogs!" Bom exclaimed, as the others quickly laughed as they looked at Dara's scared face.
"Uhh..." Dara said.
"Dara, Ga Ho is really nice!" Bom said to her with a wicked smile. Bom slowly made her way to Dara with Ga Ho in her arms now. Dara saw this and quickly fled to the other side of the room, and Bom and the others laughed while Bom stopped, just to have some fun. She stopped trying to scare Dara, and started playing with Ga Ho again.
"Aw, I think he seems to like Bom Unnie!" Minjy happily said as she went towards Bom and Ga Ho.
"Really? He seems to want to get away from her," Ji Yong quickly replied teasingly, yet with admiration in his eyes. Ga Ho, even though he didn't respond much to Bom, Ga Ho was not wanting to be held by anyone else other than Bom.
"Omo! I think Ga Ho kind of resembles Bommie Unnie! Don't you think so?" Chae Rin asked, as she looked up and down at Bom and Ga Ho. Minjy and Dara agreed and Ji Yong just continued to smile widely and laughed kindheartedly. It seems like the girls knew who the mother of the dog was, Ji Yong thought, as he kept on grinning happily.
The girls stayed in his apartment for another half an hour just playing with Ga Ho, but then they felt really tired and their manager had called to ask them to go home. Dara was more than happy to leave and was the first to go to the door, and quickly said 'Bye' to Ji Yong. Minjy was next as she petted Ga Ho one last time.
"Thank you for the surprise Ji Yong Oppa," Chae Rin said to him smiling with her eyes to show how happy she was. He smiled back and nodded at her.
"No problem, I knew you girls would like him- well- other than Dara," he chuckled as he saw her scared face was still on. As Minjy, Dara and Chae Rin headed towards the door, Bom stood up from the floor while holding Ga Ho securely in her arms. She slowly handed him to Ji Yong who was looking at her that gave her shivers down her neck. She couldn't help but smile back at him, especially how his handsome face just seem to glow even more every time he smiled at her like that.
"I want to see Ga Ho every day okay?" she declared to Ji Yong with a smile on her face.
"Of course I'll make sure you do," they both knew that with Ga Ho now, they would be able to see each other even more. "And plus, he needs to get to know you better, because I don't think he likes you much yet." He said with a teasing voice that made her glare at him with an addition of a puppy face.
Bom gave Ga Ho a kiss on the head, and looked at Ji Yong before walking towards the girls. Ji Yong looked back at her intently, as if telling her to stay and don't go. She didn't want to leave, but of course she has to. She was just glad that she got to spend time with him somehow, and have another important thing- or animal, in her life. They walked together to the door, as Bom stepped outside with the girls who were waiting patiently for her and talking amongst each other.
"Bye Oppa!" Chae Rin said, as the Dara and Minjy also followed her bye.
"Bye bye," Ji Yong replied to them, but then turned to Bom before they left and said, "Good night." He smiled at Bom, not saying bye but only good night. The other girls didn't notice, and only Bom did. She looked at him a second longer and held his gaze, as they stared longingly at each other. She finally turned around to follow the girls upstairs to go to their apartment.
Ji Yong held Ga Ho in his arms, as both of them stared after Bom. Ga Ho looking like he actually missed her, and Ji Youg thinking at how she was just more than perfect, oh how he wanted to just hold her and be with her.
"We can be together soon..." Ji Yong whispered into the air, as he closed his apartment door. "Let's just be patient."
When Bom got back to her apartment, and after getting ready for bed, she felt her phone vibrate beside her pillow. She flipped her phone to look who texted her, and her heart skipped as she saw Ji Yong's name appear on her screen.
" I also didn't get to mention 'Sweet Dreams'
I hope it's about me tonight, or is it like always? ^_* "
She chuckled and smiled as she texted back 'Good night' to him. She laid on her bed and closed her eyes, as the image of her and Ji Yong together popped in her mind, they were finally able to be together. Without the thought of anyone else but their happiness, nothing else mattered as long as they were together.
"Thank you for waiting for me," she whispered to herself as she found her self go into a nice and deep sleep.
______________________________
She finally made it home, and was thankful she got back on time before it was completely dark outside. She had never been felt so lonely and scared as she had the last three years. It was unbearable, but yet she had to endure it. She wasn't ready, she couldn't and wouldn't just yet. She looked for her phone, and found it laying on top of her computer table.
As she picked up her phone a piece of green cloth caught her eye. She went towards where all her junks were, and found the handkerchief that Ji Yong had given her. She gently picked up, and placed it close to her face, and closed her eyes to think about the time he had given it to her after her debut with the rest of 2NE1. She inhaled to smell his faint scent still on it, she had never given it back to him, although he had always kept nagging her to give it back to her. She just always replied and said that she had lost it, when in reality, she just had wanted to keep it and that is what she did.
"Ji Yong-ah, do you have sweet dreams about me," She asked as she kept her eyes closed pretending that he could really somehow hear her. "Like I do about you?"
She fell to her bed, with his handkerchief close to her as she opened her phone to see if anyone had called her. There was no missed calls.

The phone rang in Ji Yong's mother's house, as he was laying down on the couch and resting from the tensioned event that occurred a few hours ago. Jiae and his mom were now preparing some food in the kitchen for them to eat.
Ring Ring
"Is someone going to get that?" Ji Yong shouted to the kitchen. He really didn't want to get up, as a matter of fact he really didn't want to do anything for the moment.
Ring!
"Aish..." he said underneath his breath as he got up to get the phone.
"Hello?" he said to the other line angrily.
"Hyung!" Seung Ri's voice replied back shouting. "Ga Ho! I don't know what to do with him!" Ji Yong's eyes opened wide, what happened with Ga Ho? He knew he should have followed his instincts in not letting Seung Ri watch him, why did he again?
"What happened?" he asked worriedly.
"I just fed him half an hour ago of like three bowls of dog food, but yet he still keeps going to his bowl, and demanding for more!" Seung Ri was nervous and worried, he never thought that this dog could eat so much. "Every time I tell him, 'no more', he looks at me like I'm stupid!"
"Aish..." Ji Yong expressed again. Next time, he definitely won't be asking for his help. "You called me just for that? And why are you calling me here?"
"Yes! And because you're not picking up your cell!" Ji Yong checked his pocket for his phone, but found out it wasn't there. He assumed he left it in his apartment, since he rushed to leave today.
"Aigoo. Just play with him for now and feed him later. He likes to be entertained or to sleep when he's not eating, so let him have one or the other."
"I tried playing with him! He just doesn't want to, this dog is like always spacing out or something!" Seung Ri exclaimed. "Hyung, help!"
"You just go to sleep, and wake up in two hours and give him some food, okay." Ji Yong quickly hang up feeling irritated.
He walked back to the couch, and as he lied down, the annoying phone rang again.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
He wasn't going to get up for this one.
"Ji Yong-ah! Can you pick up the phone?" No. He wasn't going to, he picked up the last one.
Ring! Ring!
"We're busy cooking you some food! Answer the phone!" Jiae shouted this time.
"Aishh!" he once again irritatedly got up from the couch, and picked up the phone to press the answer button and put the phone by his ears.
"Hello?" he said shouting, and more irritated this time. It must have been Seung Ri, not satisfied with what Ji Yong told him to do.
There was no answer.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" he asked annoyed.
There was no answer.
"Seung Ri?" he questioned, and at that moment he heard a choke of breath.
There was no answer. His breath stayed still, his eyes hard as he pressed the phone closer to his ears. There was a minute of silence from both of ends, that felt like forever to the both of them.
"Bom?..." he asked softly breaking the silence.
Then there was a click.
"Bom? Park Bom!" He was shouting now, but all he could hear was the beeping noise of the phone that told him that the person was no longer on the other line.
