Loco: Block B's Crazy Rapper

The Promise

August 2013

The year continued to be rough with its ongoing lawsuit. Even though they stated they did not receive sufficient payment and their agency weren't honest about their transactions, they were not able to provide sufficient evidence to prosecute them.

The CEO himself who was supposed to appear in court never showed up. This sparked a lot of suspicions especially when the money taken from the member's parents were especially gone. Almost seventy thousand to be exact. So the search went to find the missing CEO.

After a few days, he was found dead in front of abandoned parking lot. Evidence showed that he took his own life by jumping off a roof. This caused the case to come to a stand hill and the date of the missing amount has yet to be found. In June, the case was finally concluded and it was not what the boys wanted.

They just didn't have enough evidence to formally prosecute them. It left Zico with a really bad taste in his mouth. During this time Loco would frequent that same spot and would sometimes meet Hwasa. The girl would just ramble random shit from homework to bullshit teachers.

He had to admit that he was vibing pretty well with her. She has confidence like no other and even made his put to shame. She kept it one hundred and told you like it is. She was much like Jay Park in a lot of ways. Perhaps her most favorite subject to talk about is music itself. He could tell she was very passionate as she knew all the old Western music from the old days. She would sing a Beyonce tune, or some other R&B track hot recently. One was for sure: This girl most certainly got talent.

It was now the end of August and the boys finally reached a settlement with Stardom Entertainment. The boys would be allowed to continue their career, but Stardom had to relinquish their rights to the group's name. Consequently, they were moved to a new agency: Seven Seasons with a new set of dorms.

Gone were the days the boys all slept in one room. They were divided into three sections that combined into large kitchen and living room. Taeil, B-Bomb, and Jaehyo were given the first room, Kyung, P.O, and U-Kwon were given the second, and Loco and Zico were given a larger room that included a small office for production. Overall, a very dramatic improvement from their old dorms.

Loco leaned on his new bed with comfort.

"I haven't felt a bed like this in years! I'm on cloud nine!" Loco sighed in relief taking in the cushion of the mattress.

"For real bro. I could literally sleep my ass the whole day. Considering the shit we've been through, it feels like we can finally move forward." Zico yawned.

"When do you think we'll make a comeback?"

"Probably soon. BBCs have been waiting for us since last year. I'm sure they'll be delighted to see us again. Soon we'll be on Music Core all over again." Zico said.

"Man, imagine sharing the stage with Jay Park that'll be awesome! I've been listening to all the BigBang content. G Dragon never misses!" Loco said. He imagined himself rapping alongside of Jay Park. The fact he mentioned him and Zico about groups he liked made him feel like a giddy schoolgirl.

"It's only a matter of time. I'ma take the day off and sleep." Loco then drifted asleep.

"So you boys are finally coming back?" Hwasa said casually, eating a sandwich. Since it was summer, she wasn't wearing her uniform. Only a hoodie, tights and some workout sneakers.

"That's the word. We've just gotten comfortable in our new dorms. I expect we'll start rehearsals again. It's great, because I need to regain my old weight again. I haven't been taking care of myself as you see." Loco chuckled. He was still bony, but now he didn't so tired. That bed sure did miracles.

"I'm still mad you didn't tell me you were an idol! I looked like a fucking dumbass talking to you!" Hwasa smacked him playfully.

"To be fair you didn't ask."

"Still, what if it was a saesang? You how fucking crazy they are with stalking. I'm just struggling to understand why you're so nonchalant!" Hwasa said bluntly.

"Why should I be afraid with some crazies? It ain't like they're here besides we haven't had an incident like it yet."

"Just saying it for your sake but you don't fucking care. Don't blame me if some psycho bitch tries to do something cuz I'll say I told you so!" Hwasa said sipping another can of soda. It seemed she has a habit of slamming the table after a drink.

"~Aw I didn't think you cared for me kiddo. Say what if you show up for the fan meet. I'll give you something more than just a handshake." Loco said with a sly smirk.

Hwasa stood out of her seat in disgust.

"I knew you were a fucking perv!! I'll die before I let you fucking touch me as a matter of fact, I'll break your arms if you even try!!" Hwasa threatened.

"That's pretty graphic don't you think? I ain't talking about anything fucking sexual get ya mind outta there! I'm saying you can get a poster free of charge!" Loco facepalmed. This girl always had the habit of jumping to conclusions at the worst time. It was part of their conversation. Loco says something potentially weird or outta pocket and she assumes the worst.

Frankly, he finds it exhausting trying to speak with this girl. He only done so to pass the time of this hurdle he was stuck on. Now that Block B was finally places there will be no need to stay here. He'll be way too busy by then.

For some reason that made him kinda sad...

"It's kinda fun having around with you. You're the most chill I've been with in a long time. Trust me that there's crazier fans I've met than you. Today is my last day at the chicken shop. Tomorrow I'll be practicing my ass off full time for the comeback. All this here was just to pass the time and now it's time for me to return." Loco said with a sad smile.

"You're shitting me?"

"It's real, tomorrow I go back to the training room. I'm in a need a good workout anyways. As you see I don't have a lot of meat on my bones. It sucks tho. You're a really cool girl all things considered. There ain't a lot of ya out there that is honest and down to Earth. It's like we get each other ya feel me." Loco laughed.

"Guess this is a goodbye. I gotta be real you're much better than the boys at school. All of them are complete bozos who just hit on random girls for the fun of it. Maybe when see each other I'll already be a famous star. I'm gonna work hard where everyone will know me! Maybe I'll become a bigger household name than you?" Hwasa said with a competitive smirk.

"Maybe. You just gotta polish the attitude a bit and then we're golden." Loco held his hand out.

"This a promise that the two of us work hard no matter what shit happens. When we're at our breaking point we think of this moment when we think of one another. What do you say Hwasa-ah?" Loco suggested.

Hwasa slowly stretched her arms until her hands was in contact with his.

"Her hands are surprisingly soft..." Loco thought shaking her hands.

"See you loser!" Hwasa sticked her tongue out teasingly. She also flipped a birdie at him to add extra effect. There was something that sprung something inside of Loco. He just laughed it off as a response.
