Who Are You?

South Korea

Jiyong's POV (Same day as Dara's arrival in Seoul)

Thursday night and Jiyong's schedule has been really hectic after his arrival from France last month. He's been at his YG studio every day and had been rehearsing with his group Bigbang as they will be having their comeback concert next week after their military enlistment ended last year.

As he bid goodnight to his fellow members and other crew members, Jiyong gathered his things and started on his way. His manager was waiting for him as he stepped out of the building and got in at the back of his Bentley car. He closed his eyes as his manager pulled out of the parking lot to the street.

When suddenly an image of a girl in a red dress appeared in his mind. He would often think of her ever since he saw her in France. He would always wonder about her. Hoping that she is alright considering of what had happened that night. Until now he still feels irate about it. "Who are you? Am I ever going to see you ever again?" He asked silently to himself as he opened his eyes and looked out the window.

They arrived at his apartment building's parking structure. As they were parking on his assigned parking, he noticed a couple of girls walking towards the elevator laughing while each one is carrying a bag of groceries. He was about to just let it go when his eyes caught one of the girls feature. His heart started beating so fast that he literally ran out of the car without closing the door. His manager called for him but he did not stop to answer him. He was running towards the elevator to stop it just as it was about to close but was already too late. He however did get a glimpse of the girls before the elevator door closes and made a brief eye contact with one of the girl who looked like the girl who has been occupying his mind every so often for the past two months.

He blinked twice and trying to clear his mind of what just happened. "Did I just saw her? Was that her?" He did not realized that he had spoken it out loud that his manager asked him.

"Saw who? Who are you talking about Jiyong?" Tahee his manager asked.

Jiyong looked at his manager with furrowed eyebrows, but closed his eyes to calm himself before speaking.

"Tahee, I think I just saw her. The girl from France. I think I just saw her." Jiyong said with full of hope in his voice.

Tahee is the only person who knows about this girl that Jiyong was talking about. He still recalls the way Jiyong had acted that night. It was out of his ordinary way. He had never seen Jiyong act that way especially towards a girl whom he does not have clue of who she maybe.

"Are you sure that it was her?" Tahee asked Jiyong.

Jiyong started pacing back and forth while putting his palms on his face. Out of desperation of ever seeing her again drives him crazy to the point that he himself does not know what to do anymore.

"Aiisht! I hate this. I should have approached her that night. I should have at least gotten her name and introduced myself to her. I should have helped her out when she was trying to get away when that guy started putting his arm around her. I should have...Aish! This is driving me insane!" Jiyong yelled his desperation out as he brushed his hair with his hands.

Tahee tried to calm him down by patting his back. "Why don't we go up to your unit first so that we could think this through?" Tahee suggested..
As they were walking down the hallway towards his unit. Jiyong keeps replaying the incident that had happened earlier at the elevator. He waited until Tahee opened his door to his unit.

Jiyong walked up to his sofa and slumped himself down feeling so lost. Tahee went ahead to the refrigerator and grabbed two cans of beer and offered one to Jiyong who absentmindedly accepted it.

"Jiyong if by any chance that you really did see her, that means she is also Korean. Plus seeing her here means she leaves around here in Seoul, right?" Tahee asked.

That made Jiyong snapped out of it bringing hope in him, that there will be a chance one way or another that he will see her again one of this day.

"You are right Tahee. That could be a possibility. Now I just need to look out for her around here. I will need to start paying more attention to my surroundings. She could be walking in front of me for all I know. But now I really have to pay attention." Jiyong said with excitement in his voice.

"Well, at least we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel somehow." Tahee gladly said. He bid Jiyong good night and left.
