Choi Seung-Hyun watched as Jang Mi's body fell to the floor. He couldn't believe what he just saw. Her body fell hard, hitting the floor with a loud thud. Choi Seung-Hyun went into a panic seeing her unconscious body on the floor. Choi Seung-Hyun shook her and called her name. But Jang Mi had no response to him. He had his cell phone out ready to call an ambulance. Jang Mi was worried of some type of commotion happening if he called 119. Jang Mi let out a groan of pain. Choi Seung-Hyun rushed to her side, his phone long forgotten. (119 is Korea's 911...isn't it funny!)

"Jang Mi-ah!" He sat her up and shook her.

"My leg hurts." She faked before falling into his arms.

Choi Seung-Hyun did something Jang Mi didn't think he would do. He carried her in his arms and took her into a room. There he laid her down on the soft comforters. Jang Mi kept her eyes closed, but she could hear shuffling as Choi Seung-Hyun moved around the room. She finally felt warmth as a blanket was covering her. She was shocked to see him caring so much. Even when Choi Seung-Hyun touched her forehead to see if she contracted a fever, she was surprised by how gentle he was with her. Jang Mi felt him in the room. He was sitting by the bed watching her intensely. She felt his eyes burning into her head. He stood there for so long, Jang Mi was falling asleep. She couldn't sleep, but she also couldn't wake up and embarrass herself in front of Choi Seung-Hyun.

Jang Mi heard ringing. It was distant so she wasn't sure if she heard correctly. But it continued to ring, and she felt herself slowly coming out of her slumber. Her eyes opened and closed as she took in her surroundings. When she noticed it wasn't her home, she shot up and looked around. Memories of last night hit her like a brick. She noticed Choi Seung-Hyun was sleeping on a chair while his upper body slept on the bed that she slept on. Guilt filled her as she watched him sleeping. She shook at his shoulders, only for him to shrug her hands off. She sighed. Why is it so hard to wake you up?

"Choi Seung-Hyun, wake up." She shook him again. She heard a muffle of words she assumed to be curse words. "Choi Seung-Hyun!" She snapped.

Choi Seung-Hyun woke up while rubbing his eyes. He fell asleep worried Jang Mi lost her energy because of him. She sat up and stared at him with a concerned look. He mirrored her look wondering why she was looking at him that way. Her hair was a little messier than usual and her eyes were tired. Her freckles were now smeared all over her cheeks making her look odd. Choi Seung-Hyun found it cute seeing how clueless she was. She didn't eve know how she looked.

"Choi Seung-Hyun, are you okay?" She asked.

He nodded with a smile. "I'm glad you're feeling better now." He stood up. "How's your leg?"

Jang Mi winced as if she suddenly felt the pain in her leg. "Yeah-" she started but the ringing of her phone stopped her. "I have a CF to shoot today!" She rushed to get up. (CF stands for Commercial Filming. Unlike America, stars in Korea are lucky to land a good commercial gig but America, Commercials are the starting point of someone's acting career.)

"You can't leave if your leg is hurting." Choi Seung-Hyun helped her off the bed.

"I said I'm fine. It's promotional purposes for my drama." She sighed and rushed to her phone in Choi Seung-Hyun's living area.

Jang Mi was late for the shooting and apologized to the staff members. The director even yelled at her for making up a lame excuse like falling down the stairs. All Jang Mi could do was bow and apologize for the inconvenience. The shooting was to commercialize a famous shampoo that had ingredients that were all organic and non chemical on the hair or the scalp. Jang Mi wore a white dress as she ran through a green screen forest and magically found the shampoo bottles by a river. And then Jang Mi's character thought the best idea was to wash her hair at the river bank with a mysterious shampoo brand. In all honesty, Jang Mi thought the whole thing was sort of creepy and weird, but she wasn't about to question it. If Korea wanted a girl with long hair, running through forests and washing her hair at a river bank after suspiciously finding shampoo bottles by it, then she'll do it. It's more understanding when the whole nation accepts those type of things.

"Jang Mi you did great, but we're going to have to shoot it again. The dress isn't long enough to cover the bruise on your leg." A field director came up to Jang Mi after taking the first shoot. "The director does want to apologize for not believing you when you said you fell down the stairs."

Jang Mi smiled politely. "Thank you but I won't accept it unless he says it himself."

Jang Mi seriously didn't want him to apologize, because she lied to them. She even had manager Kim backing up her story by explaining how clumsy she was. But Jang Mi thought, that if he were to do this to her, he'll do it to anyone. A human should be able to apologize to the person themselves instead of having someone under them do it. It's a thing Jang Mi despised a lot. However, she just smiled at the FD and went to change her dress. (FD is Field Director if you didn't know)

This time around, the dress was longer than the last and she was able to finish the shoot. She was on heels all day and she was tired. However, she just left Choi Seung-Hyun at his house with the excuse of being late to her shoot. She needed a good night sleep, but guilt filled her up. He laid her down gently and watched over her as she slept and she was faking the whole thing.

Choi Seung-Hyun let Bae Jang Mi into his house. He informed her of the presence of the other Big Bang members in his house. She was nervous seeing them again. What she gathered from their last get together was, Seungri is the youngest so he acts the least mature. He basically said anything without a filter. Kang Daesung is funny. His attitude is always positive towards everything and he kept a smile on his face at all times. Dong Young Bae was quiet. He seemed to shy away from anyone he wasn't too sure about. Especially when they first meet. However, he is kind and kept a good flowing conversation even if it meant him being uncomfortable. Kwon Ji Yong was quiet too. He is very polite and well mannered compared to everyone. He mostly kept a small talk when it came to Bae Jang Mi. He said very little words towards her, but Jang Mi knew he wasn't all that people say he is.

"Everyone, Jang Mi is here." Jang Mi bowed to the members of Big Bang.

"Jang Mi-ah!" Seungri gave Jang Mi a hug which in return, Choi Seung-Hyun pushed him away from her. "You came just in time. Choi Seung-Hyun was telling us the story about how he got those cuts on his hand and how he defeated these five guys by himself."

Choi Seung-Hyun's body went stiff. "I can tell it another time." He chuckled suspiciously.

"No I want to hear it." Jang Mi smirked mischievously. "Go on, Choi Seung-Hyun. I want to know too." She eyed him.

"Uhm..."
