Dirty Little Secret

Chaerin

        I sighed. Another long day at work. Another day in the life of CL, Leader of 2NE1. 

  

        It had been two weeks, since I had last seen Jiyong. Two weeks since his confession to me.  

        For these last two weeks, I had been keeping myself busy. I've tried forgetting about Jiyong. I've tried forgetting that night. His sobs have haunted my dreams. Had I truly hurt him? Did he really love me that much? 

        No! I shook my head. He did not love me. He just thought he did. 

        He was crazy. He was crazy for thinking he was in love with me. 

        A knock on the door of my studio jolted me out of my thoughts. 

        I looked up and smiled at who entered. 

        "Youngbae Oppa, I didn't know you were going to stop by for a visit." I said. 

        I was thankful he was here. His presence immediately lifted the gloomy atmosphere from the studio. 

        Dong Youngbae, also known as Taeyang, smiled at me. 

        "Just came to talk to you about 2NE1's comeback. I bet you girls are excited." He said, taking a seat on the leather couch I had in the room. 

        I nodded. "Of course we are excited, Oppa. We are ready to be back on stage." 

         

        Youngbae chuckled. "I'll be sure to support you girls." He said. 

        I smiled. I have known Youngbae since I joined the company. We fast became friends. He was an Oppa I could be Chaerin with. Likewise, he could be Youngbae with me. We could drop our celebrity persona's and just be ourselves. 

        I have a deep admiration for Youngbae. To this day, I can still remember when he debuted as a solo artist. 

        I often joke with him that I'm his number one fan and will always be that. 

        He's one of my very few true friends. 

        "I was actually wondering something. If you're not too busy during promotions, would you like to help with my next album?" Youngbae asked. "I could really use your voice on a song or two." 

        "Of course you know I'll help." I smiled. "When do you think it will be released?" 

        Youngbae shrugged his shoulders. "Not sure. Hopefully sometimes before summer or at least during it. I don't want to keep my fans waiting to long." 

        I laughed. "No, you don't. I'm glad the girls and I were finally able to get Crush out."
