RULE # 69: ADMIT NOTHING

Evidences

With only three minutes before they continue the interview, Ji and Dara seemed oblivious to everyone else as they exchanged whispers. Everyone on set had seen the glow in both of them when they arrived thirty minutes before the interview. They all saw how Ji always looked after Dara – he held her hand, assisted her up the stairs, opened the doors for her, he was the very epitome of a perfect gentleman. They also saw how Dara looked after him when Ji was looking for his phone coz he needed to call someone and Dara produced it from her hand bag saying he forgot it in the car and she brought it.

Everyone knew them as the perkiest and most adorable members of their group but now together, they both exuded a maturity that spoke of how much they really love one another.

Sun, after drinking water, asked how both of them were after their whispered conversation and Dara said they were doing pretty great so far and she'd been such a great host.

"DARAGON! DARAGON! DARAGON! DARAGON!" the crown began to chant and both artists looked towards their direction to recognize their fans with a smile.

"We'll be back on air in thirty seconds" the Floor Director announced and the Stage Manager tried to settle down the fans again – a job getting harder as the giddiness of the crowd was rubbing in on the crew as well.

"Lapel ok?" the Audio man checked and after mic testing put up an ok sign.

"Going live in ten seconds!" the Stage Manager announced and the light on camera one turned on again.

Sun inhaled and exhaled and then faced the camera as the SM counted down.

"And we're back!" Sun announced into the camera "Welcome back everyone! You are once again here with me as we sit down and interview two of the hottest idols of this generation, Big Bang chic leader Kwon Ji Yong and 2NE1's fresh faced goddessPark Sandara."

The audience cheered enthusiastically as the camera panned towards Sun's guests.

"In our first segment, we talked about parts of your past that led to who you both are now and for this part, we will be going into a segment called "Tell a story". This is very basic, we show you pictures or videos of something or someone and you tell us a story about it."

Both Ji and Dara exchanged a look that – as with all else – seemed to communicate things between only the two of them. Sun smiled at this interaction and looked again at the camera.

"Even before your admission, fans of your pairing have speculated a lot not only because of your chemistry but also because of the following things we will call evidences. Our first clip is..."

A video of the first public performance of Hello, the very first song that the two of them paired up with, showed in the large screens around the studio and both Ji and Dara's reactions were cut side by side the video on TV. The VTR showed Ji during the times he hesitated to hug Dara or kiss her on the cheek as what they have rehearsed.

Ji could be seen smiling the way he did during those times as Dara looked at him with knowing mischief.

When the VTR ended, Sun faced the two of them again and said "So, tell us a story about this. You two have so much chemistry on stage with your performances and the crowd absolutely goes wild with all the skinship but you seem to have played around the song a lot."

Ji covered his face momentarily with his right hand, blushing uncharacteristically then looked at Sun. It had been so long ago but helooked as though he was remembering those days as though they happened just recently. Sun knew from his look that he didn't think that he'd say what he was about to say but he and Dara agreed to have this interview with her to share their happiness with their fans. Sun waited excitedly.
