THE BLIND DATE Prologue That night, Dara found herself unable to sleep. She can feel her chest burning. It must’ve been from too much eating but she ruled out the very thought. It felt more psychological since she’s the type of person who’s hoarding on food. She pushed herself up and turned on her bedside lamp; its dim effect made the atmosphere a little dramatic. The clock read 12 AM, a little odd that she’s still awake at that hour when she feels so tired after the day’s activities. Could it be because her dreaded day has finally come? She rested her arm against her forehead while looking at the lush finish of her painted ceiling. Right then and there, she contemplated deep – deep enough that she could almost drown herself with thoughts. For tomorrow is not just another day but the day she wished would never come. She looked at her calendar the longest time she has possibly done her life. She focused on the encircled date with a red marker. As a sign of surrender, she ruffled her wavy locks and released a helpless groan. “This blind date… Will I go or not?” She began talking to herself and shuffling her hands hard. “Who might this person be?” Her right hand clutched her chest, her heart pounding ecstatically. She doesn’t understand why she was feeling anxious in the first place and how she hated being set up on blind dates. “Dam* it, Seungri!” A curse escaped from her lips. Curses, for her, were taboo but find it inevitable to speak. “You’ll be punished hard. I swear you’ll learn and get it from me.” Now her head was preoccupied with thoughts of punishment to the sole culprit of her impending doom. She must deal with him after everything is settled. Sorry Seungri, Dara-noona will never be easy on you again. “The more that I think of it… Boy, this is making me crazy!” She sighed. After too much thinking, Dara suddenly felt very sleepy. Crumpled papers were all over her bed. Not minding the mess, she lazily put off her bedside lamp and drifted to dreamland. Chapter 1 Seungri was chilling out in one of YG building’s lounges, browsing the internet, when he came across one article. It was an interview of their beloved maknae 2NE1 but he wasn’t amused by the way his favorite noona answered the questions, particularly one, which made his forehead crease deeply. (ARTICLE here) “Tsk, tsk…” He shook his head in disagreement. What a disaster! “My faithful and favorite student of Seungri Academy, Dara-noona, has just put her dating chances in peril. Now, the whole world knows of the death of her dating genes.” He sighed. He sprawled back on the couch he was sitting and thought of a plan. He held his chin with his forefinger and thumb. “Pitiful. Looks like this situation calls for Master Seungri’s expertise in dating!” Don’t worry, noona, I’ll be here for your rescue. He, then, imagines himself in a superman costume with his hands on his hips and laughing like a mad man. By afternoon, on his free time, Seungri went straight to YG building’s internet cafeteria and started searching for ways on how his Dara-noona get to date the opposite sex. After a while, he was able to create a list. Noona will be able to regain her pride and her fanboys! Bwahahaha! He grinned proudly on his work. “Now, off to sorting them out.” LIST ON HOW TO GET DARA-NOONA A DATE 1. Post anonymous dating ads on newspapers. “A newspaper ad is more affordable than a TV ad.” He nods. “However, the process could be bloody.” His face cracked up with dismay. He scratches his head. “Also, with Big Bang’s schedule, I think I could barely entertain applicants.” With that, he marks the option with an X. 2. Introduce her to my friends. He began browsing his phonebook. “I’ve introduced her to some of my guy friends but she seems to shy towards them.” He paused and his gaze roamed throughout the room. “Now that I think of it, my guy friends are too young for her taste. Hmm...” He hummed. “...and majority of my friends are females.” I don’t think she would like to date women. “Just thinking of her going gay gives me the creeps!” He gives off a shudder. Another option he puts an X to. 3. Let her attend social gatherings and parties of artists. “Wait…” His eyebrows slowly meeting. “...2NE1 only attends YG Family events and YG-sajangnim would be too strict in choosing events for the girls.” He closed his eyes and tried to rationalize. “Their comeback is fast-approaching. They’ll be too busy for the preparations. Social life is sacrificed at the moment.” Poor girls and I guess this is a no-no. 4. Let her get casted in a reality TV show, i.e. We Got Married. His eyes popped out from its sockets. “Wow. Why did I ever come up with this option?” He has limited connections with MBC to actualize this ideal project. “Besides, YG-sajangnim isn’t the type to be aggressive in accepting this kind of exposure for his artists.” He scratches his head again. “I’d rather reserve this for future purposes.” He lets out a sigh for the nth time. 5. Create a fake account in an online dating site. He crossed his arms on his chest. “Down to the last option...” He breathed deeply. “Dara-noona was sure to dominate Me2day, why not a dating website?” He gave a lopsided smile thinking of this brilliant plan. He didn’t expect it would be way too easy. The worldwide web is such a wonderful blessing! In no time, she’ll be thanking me for being genius. He puts his hands together and rubs them. “Dara-noona, I’ll find you a perfect mate soon.” In his mind, he was laughing out loud. I’m so amazing! Seungri didn’t waste his time. He was so eager to work on his magic at once! He searched for Korea’s most popular online dating site and immediately registered. His plan is materializing before him. “The fun starts now!” He can’t wait to see his favorite noona’s reaction once she finds out. Welcome to I-Date Website!

Yours truly, Admin The next day, Seungri started updating the site with information, pictures, and the like. That’s to make it more believable. Earlier, in their photoshoot, he gathered the courage to ask his favorite noona for a shot of the two of them, which she gladly did to his relief. Sorry, noona, but I’m doing this for you...kekeke (PICTURE here) Seungri-sunbaenim to my rescue~ ^0^ Although embarrassing, he wanted to help me with my dating skills!!! ㅋㅋㅋ Will I do good this time??? I hope so..+.+ I-Date here I come!!! I want to have a boyfriend soon~ Getting senti again.. Ya ya ya~ Dara, hwaiting!!! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Feeling his nape and shoulders ache, Seungri rolled his head back in forth to stretch his tired muscles. “What a day! I think this is all for today.” He double-checked all his inputs and was very much satisfied before logging off the site. “In days time, I’m sure men will flock and take interest on this account.” He felt sleepy and yawned. “Sweet dreams, genius! Tomorrow will be a long day.” He jumped, literally, towards his bed and slept soundly with a smile of content plastered on his face. Chapter 2 Two months ago... After finishing a fashion photo shoot, Kim Jaejoong excused himself first after reading the text coming from someone special. The text read that the person wanted to meet him at an exclusive café on the outskirts of Seoul City. It would be best that way to not cause a commotion and get caught by paparazzi. Jaejoong also chose to use a get–away car that fans aren’t familiar of. He drove by himself for almost an hour. As he was getting close, he couldn’t contain his excitement and was smiling like a Cheshire cat. This is the day – the day for her to decide our destiny! “What took you so long?” An irritated greeting welcomed him. She purposely avoided the kiss on the cheek he was about to give. “I have been waiting for almost three hours, Jae!” This caught him off-guard. Ji Hye wasn’t usually like this. “Mianhe! The photo shoot ended a bit late than expected. I drove my way here as fast as I could but got caught in traffic.” He reached out for her hand. “What can I do to make it up to you?” He lovingly looks at her face and flashes his teasing boyish grin. Ji Hye’s gaze traveled from their intertwined hands to his eyes. “None.” She gave him a cold blank stare. “Ha...ha...ha” An awkward laugh escaped from Jaejoong’s lips. “You’re just kidding me, right?” He, then, scooped both of her hands and let them caress his cheeks. His facial expression turned serious and his eyes intense with emotion. “Saranghae, Ji Hye-ah,” he whispered. A tear escaped her eye and then another.
