Chapter 19

The next day, I was physically and emotionally tired because of the activities that Jiyong hyung and I have done. Get you head out of the gutter. I was talking about all the plane rides and long ass car drives that we did on Jeju. After what we did on the harbor, we awkwardly rode the rented car to where Jiyong hyung wanted to go. His stomach made a huge growl that added to his embarrassment. He suddenly remembers this small tent restaurant that serves fresh seafood and kimchi stew 24/7.

We ate our dinner at almost 2am then we drove all the way to the airport and took a flight back to Seoul at 6am. It could have been earlier than that but, that's the earliest flight that we can get. Jiyong hyung drove me to my apartment and he kissed my forehead awkwardly before saying goodbye. At around 8am, Top hyung was calling me and asks me to go to the atelier.

So here I am, yawning the sh*t out of me in front of Top hyung's desk.

"Where have you been last night Seungri? You seem to be lacking sleep. You look like panda with those dark bags under your eyes." Top hyung said.

"I... I was out talking in some fresh air?" I lied.

"Are you not sure of your answer?"

"I-I am!..."

After a few more minutes of our gibberish conversation, we finally get to the topic.

"Hyung, I wanted to model exclusively for Peaceminusone." I said. Top hyung seems understandably taken aback, but...

"I've already heard from Jiyong, that's why I called you. It's disappointing but I guess it can't be helped." he said calmly.

"Huh? Are you sure it's OK?" I asked in surprise.

"Well, before you became a model for TTTOP, you were the concept model of Peaceminusone. I was prepared for this to happen eventually."

"I see..."

"That's why I try my best to give you as much experience as possible. It's occurred a little faster than I anticipated, but, very well. Seungri, there is plenty of Jiyong's clothes for you to model. Now is the time to go on the offensive. To show the world how amazing Jiyong's clothes are."

"Got it!"

And so, more than ever before, I eagerly pursue my modelling lessons at Top hyung's agency. On the weekend, I devote myself to advert photo shoots for Peaceminusone at the atelier. Every time I wear Jiyong's creations, they teach me new movements and expressions. The photo shoots are fun, and Jiyong hyung shows up during them...

But, outside of photo shoots, Jiyong spends all his time focusing on making clothes. Naturally, the two of us spend less time together alone.

One day, after a photo shoot... Even after everyone has gone home, Jiyong hyung continues to wrap various fabrics around a torso mannequin in the fitting room.

"You're not going home, Jiyong?" I asked.

"No... I want to finish this pattern by today, so I'll stay here." he answered plainly.

"I see."

"By the way, why didn't you go home with the others?"

"Huh? Eh..."

What should I tell him? That I stayed on a whim because we haven't spent much time recently? Now that I think about it, that's an odd thing to do.

"Eh... I guess I'll go home now." I said as I try to excuse myself.

"Isn't it too late for that, silly?" he said, laughing, as he walk away from the torso mannequin and approaches me. He continued, "You know, I haven't hung out much with you recently."
