"Ano?"

Seungri raised a brow at Jiyong who was the first one to react.

Akala niya ba 'so what' na si Dara para sa lalake?

"She's here! Swear. Nakasalubong ko siya kanina kaso mukhang nagmamadali kaya hindi ko na sinama dito." He then passed a bag he was holding to Jiyong. "Tara na. Malapit na dito quarters natin."

Seungri led the bunch towards the building CL was going to stay at first. Kahit mag-fiance na sina CL at Seungri, they still weren't married and the Academy had strict rules for keeping men and women's sleeping quarters separate.

Then they walked a few minutes more to reach their own quarters.

A room had 2 beds, a bathroom and 2 closets in it. TOP and Youngbae shared one room and Seungri and Jiyong another. Sadly, Daesung's schedule was packed to the brim so he couldn't join them.

"The room's good." Puri ni Jiyong.

It was a simple room but one could tell that the things in it weren't cheap.

"Of course it'd be. This Academy is known for treating their students well." Seungri answered as he placed his bag on his bed. "Kita mo? May CR kada kwarto dito. Di gaya sa iba na public restrooms lang meron."

"Proud ka ah? Ikaw may-ari?"

"You know what, I should invest in this Academy. Tingin mo?"

"Tingin ko, hibang ka na."

Tumawa nalang si Seungri.

Both men didn't talk for a while. They minded their own business habang inaayos nila ang mga dala nilang gamit.

Seungri finished first. He sat down on his bed and watched as Jiyong hanged his clothes.

"Ji." Tawag niya dito.

"Hmm?"

"Ano gagawin mo kung andito din si Dara?"

Jiyong paused. Nagulat siya sa tanong ng kaibigan and he knows Seungri knew he was surprised as well.

"I mean, we're staying here for a month. Kung andito din siya, what would you do?"

"Wala." Tanging sagot ni Jiyong.

He acted like he didn't care as he continued to fix his belongings.

"Wala talaga?"

"Wala talaga."

"Ah. Okay." Seungri nodded his head, he was going to stop asking when an idea popped up in his head. He chuckled to himself before shrugging. "I mean, I just asked you because I was planning to hitch Dara up with my cousin. Iba din kung magiging pamilya ko siya diba?"

Before he knew it, Seungri found Jiyong's full attention on him as the latter gave him a killing stare.

"Ano?"

"Huwag ka ngang magbiro. All your cousins are womanizers. Kung hindi mo pa nakilala iyong si CL, I'm sure you'd be one yourself." Seryosong sabi ni Jiyong.

The latter briefly turned around to hang the last of his clothes before turning back to look at Seungri. 

"Concerned ka na niyan?" Nakakunot noong tanong nito. 

"Hindi ako concerned. It's just because."

"Because?"

Hindi alam ni Jiyong ang sasabihin kay Seungri. He stared at the latter for a while without any single reason in his head.
