The Struggles of my own Incompetence (Big Bang TOP)

What's this? There's an eighth member of Ikon?

"Your Korean lessons begin today." Said Ji won a cruel smile appearing on his face as he dragged me out of bed for the second time this week.

"Ji won, it's the weekend you will let me sleep or I will kill you." I replied

"It's embarrassing to know that one of our members can't speak the language of the country they are going to debut in"Said B.I after rudely opening the door without knocking. Jeez what if I'd been changing or something. "As your leader, I demand that you get up and start your lessons immediately".

"You think you can order me around dongsaeng, I'm still your hyung and that means I can do whatever I like. " I responded whilst sticking out my tongue.

"Alex, I will buy you a proper coffee if you get up now" said Ji won "And, I would like you to start calling me Bobby".

"No problem Bobby!" I jumped up as soon as I heard that I was going to get a decent coffee, today would be a good day. At least, until we ran into Yg's Winner.

After a quick shower and change of clothes we were all ready to head out to Seoul Metropolitan Library. The other members of our new group were also interested in coming so they too could help participate in my education.

As I was walking towards the front entrance I collided with something and was naturally knocked to the ground. That makes what three times in three days? Anyway, I apologised immediately to whoever it was that I'd knocked over.

"Joesonghamnida" I said whilst rubbing my arm.

"You should be" replied a voice in a rather hostile tone. "Do you know who you just knocked over? "

Bobby helped me to my feet and responded for me " Kim Jinwoo, it was an accident, you're not injured so get over it"

"Who is he, am I supposed to know who he is?" I asked B.I who sent a hate filled  glare in the direction of the dude I'd knocked over.

"No, Alex he's just part of another boy group called winner, come on let's go" He said, motioning to grab my arm.

"If you say so, come on Bobby you owe me a coffee!" I said walking towards the door. "Oh and Kim Jinwoo I'm sorry."

"Why the animosity towards winner?" I asked Bobby, he ignored me at first and then proceeded to tell me "to google" it. So that's exactly what I did while I was waiting for my coffee. It wasn't hard to make sense of where the tension was associated. Apparently the majority of our members were on this show called mix match and called team B. They ended up losing their chance to debut to team A which we all now know to be Winner. I felt it best to not comment on the feud and try and lift everyones spirits by poorly pronouncing korean words.

When we eventually made it to the library everyone seemed to be in a better mood. B.I and Bobby were the ones that had taken it upon themselves to become my primary educators. Everyone else took it in turns to scold me whenever I did something wrong. I was slapped, pinched and punched by everyone at least 20 times, even Jang Chang Woo our little Maknae joined in the fun.

"Hajima!" I yelled as Bobby pinched my cheeks after getting an answer wrong.

"Good, you are responding to your punishment in Korean"He said as he increased the pressure on my poor cheeks. "We will stop here for the day since we all have to begin our idol assignment for tomorrow"

"I knew I forgot something " I said, trying to remember the details of the assignment. Basically we had to choose an idol from Yg that we looked up to and perform a cover of one of their songs. These songs would be recorded and the actual idol who we had chosen would give us feedback on our performance.

"Who have you chosen? I asked Bobby and B.I.

"Of course I chose T.O.P" Said Bobby, "You know I'm a rapper and he's the coolest. "

"I chose T.O.P as well for the same reasons" responded B.I "What about you Alex? "

"Well rapping isn't really my thing so I was going to choose either Taeyang or Seungri, but I really look up to G- Dragon because of all the work he does behind the scences". "I guess I could sing 'Who you' there isn't too much rap in it so it wouldn't be too hard". I said as we were walking back to YG.

"At the moment our group has two rappers with everyone else designated to vocals, I think it would be really cool if you could do both." Said B.I "Plus I don't really think you could step up and become our main dancer, since you clearly lack talent in that area." He smirked.

"Go for it, plus getting feedback from a guy as talented as GD will be great for the rest of the group as well" responded Bobby , while giving me a light shove. By this stage we had arrived back at the studios just in time for dinner.

"After dinner we have to start recording don't we?" I had to make a decision and fast. " I think I will go with 'Who you' " I said.

After talking to our other group members I found out that no one had chosen Big Bangs leader thus putting a decent amount of pressure on me. We both had a similar range so it wouldn't be too difficult to sing.

I was one of the last to record myself. It was originally supposed to be an audio track but Mr YG had decided, last minute that we had to film a mini music video featuring ourselves. That meant that I had a day to get everything together. Fabulous. Let's just say that tomorrow was going to be absolute hell. Or should I say today, because it was 2 in the morning when I returned to the dorms.
