Big Bang Daydreams

GDragon/ Alone

Ji Yong's POV

Utterly quiet, I sit alone on a stage. This stage is just like any other I've ever been on. I come alive here. That's why I chose to sit here in the quiet. GDragon has a mighty stage presence, but does Kwon Ji Yong? Which am I? Does it matter? Will my fans, "get," me?

I let out a sigh just as I hear soft footsteps behind me. It's her again. I told the company not to hire a female assistant for me. It almost never goes well. I try to keep it professional, and they try to make it romantic. Oh she's pretty, helpful, and seems nice enough, but I mentally cringe when she smiles at me.

I glance back over my shoulder as she's pulling a chair up beside mine. She says not a word, but simply smiles and sits down. She crosses her arms and sighs with a nod. I glance at her from the corner of my eye. Thankfully, she's not saying anything. She just sits there. She looks out at the empty seats, and joins me as a companion in silence.

We sit like this for a few minutes. Her presence is oddly comforting. She isn't bothering me. She isn't insisting on asking me questions or starting a conversation. I didn't even realize I was feeling lonely until she came. Now, here she is, comforting me without a word.

Finally, I look over at her. She's still looking out at the seats. I clear my throat a bit, and she turns her gaze on me. She gives me a slow grin. I'm already so relaxed just by her being here.

I return the grin,"What were you thinking just now?"

"Oh, just how cool it is to just sit here. Looking out onto a place that is usually teaming with life and people." She nods to the seats.
"What about you?"

I look back down at my lap, "Hmm," I pull my ear, "I guess..."

She stops me, "You don't have to tell me."

I look back over at her, "It's ok. I want to."

She gives a quick nod.

"I was thinking that I hope people understand me. This new album is different from what I've done before. It's more Kwon Ji Yong than GDragon."

"Ooooh," she nods slowly, looking out at the seats again. "Well I like Kwon Ji Yong better," she says with a beaming smile.

I give a slight chuckle,"Really? Why?"

She looks at me as if she can't believe I would ask, "You're kidding, right?"

I shake my head slowly.

She turns her whole self in her chair to face me. Her eyes get a little rounder as she says, "GDragon is great. More swagger than should be allowed, an intimidating presence, beautiful and jagged at the same time, Not to mention sexy as all Hell."

I blush and look down at my fingers.

"But Kwon Ji Yong," she continues, "is all the best parts others haven't seen yet. The deeper parts of you. The sides that only those closest to you know. More creative, more artistic, more of your soul, and less flash. You shine brightly as either, but Ji Yong is my favorite. Because that's who you truly are, inside and out."

A little of my apprehension fades and I turn to face her. I tilt my head slightly to the side and she mirrors my action causing me to chuckle again. We both laugh a bit. I stand and offer my hand to help her up. She accepts and hops up. I hook her arm through mine.

I grin at her, "C'mon. Let's get a coffee and get acquainted," I am surprised to hear myself say.

She smiles, "Sure, I think we could be great friends."

"Cool," I smile so big until I start blushing, "I was hoping you would say that."

We walk through the building arm in arm asking each other silly, "get to know you," questions.

"Beach or mountains? Dog or cat? Books or movies? Elvis or the Beatles?"

By the time we've had coffee and chatted for hours it's incredibly late. I've made a new friend, and who knows? Maybe this time, I will be the one who doesn't want to keep it professional.

Ok. So this is a particular fantasy of mine. It might be weird, but hey so am I.
