"Babe I think I’m going to go back home after i finish here in Canada."
"Why? You're schedule says that you should be in Sydney on August 5th."
"I'm dying to see you. I'm going to die if I get another day without holding you."
"Ji, you are on a tour. You should be focusing on it, this would be your last time before you enlists. You owe it to your fans."
"Can we not talk about enlisting? And.... That's exactly my point babe. I need to focus. I have been loosing focus since I’ve been away for god knows how long. You're the center of who I am and seeing you, holding you, smellin and feeling you will calibrate my focus back. I owe it to them, so let me go home."
"Enlisting is a sensitive topic for me too Ji. It is, but we have to face reality and be prepared. We need to prepare, and regarding you getting back here, I don't think I'm gonna have a say about it, I mean you prolly booked all your staff a one-way ticket home. Baby, If I am the center of who you are, then you are the world i revolve in, I'm a useless moon who never stops orbiting around you, always remember that."
"Stop making me cry babe, I miss you as it is."
"I miss you way more. Way more."
"That's it. I'm cancellin’ my show tomorrow and I am flying home."
"Are you kidding me? Stop being a pabo!"
"I'm not joking Dara. I'm serious. Why can't scientist invent a device where a person can travel in a speed of light?"
"Because they know you'd abuse it."
"Baby, I will. If i have to offer half my liver for it, I will just to be beside you."
"Whatever Ji. Your functioning liver only amounts to 25%. You need to sleep, it's already late in there."
"OUCH! My liver is offended. Where's my goodnight kiss though?"
"I'm driving can't you see?"
"Ok i won't sleep."
"Jiyong!"
"Nope!"
"I'll hang up."
"I'll slack off in tomorrow's show."
"You won't! i know it. Coz you're cool like that."
"Stahp!!! You're making me blush."
"Go to sleep!"
"Blow me a kiss!"
"Aisht!!!"
"Bbobbo!"
*mwah*
"yum! i ate it. one more."
*mwah*
"another one."
*mwah mwah mwah*
"Ajhumma! Stop making my heart flutter."
"Stop being gorgeous first."
"I can't control that. Can you stop being beautiful?"
"I'm afraid I can't."
"See. Dara...."
"Mmm..."
"Saranghe."
"Na do."
"Yah! Say it!"
"I love you."
*inaudible giggles*
"How do you say that in Filipino language?"
"Mahal Kita."
"MA HAL KI TA SANDARA!"
"Stop yelling!"
"Arasseo. I'll dream of you baby. Naked."
"I'm driving Jiyong."
"Arasseo Arasseo. I love you... Drive safe tokki."
"I will. Sweet dreams baby."

“Ajhumma, you are so dead.”
“What did I do?”
“Stop smiling innocently.”
“Are you going straight here? Or are you droppin’ by your stuff in Foret?”
“YOU ARE CHANGING THE TOPIC TOKKI! YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE NOW!”
“What? I’m asking so that i can prepare food.”
“Who are you kidding? You and I both know that you in the kitchen is bad news. Stop acting like you didn’t go clubbing in THE SHORTEST GREEN ADIDAS DRESS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN THE PLANET, looking like a hot commodity, posing like you’re not in a committed relationship. I am so going to punish you.”
“It’s not the shortest dress you’ve seen me wear baby boy.”
“DARA!”
“What?”
“I have company.”
“I’m not saying anything. You’re the one over reacting looking so cute and turning red in mix of rage and shyness. Hmmm... Is your...”
“SANDARA PARK!”
“Yes Kwon Jiyong?”
“I am going to spank you later.”
“Hurry. Me likey. Hihihihihi.”
“AJHUMMA!!!!”
---
“I thought you’re going to spank me?”
“Come here. Do you really want me to?”
“I only want you.”
“hmmm... you smell so good.”
“Ji... I’m sitting on your angry...”
“Shhh... stop dirty talkin to me. Do you know how I’m dying inside because i wanna make love to you right now? But i want to talk to you first. I wanna feel you... I wanna hold you... Look into your eyes while i listen to everything you’ll tell me.”
“Ji... Are you not feeling well? What’s the matter?”
“I miss you. I worry about Seunghyun Hyung, I worry about my tour and the people who gives their all for me. I’m afraid. I worry about losing you. I worry that i will loose myself again. I worry about next year, how Youngbae, Daesung and I are all going to enlist and will leave Seunghyunie alone, he’ll surely feel lonely without us.”
“Shhhhh... we talk everyday Ji. Why aren’t you telling me that you’re carrying all this weight on your shoulder? Everything is going to be fine. Seunghyun will bounce back, he will. Believe in him,
that’s the best thing you can do for him right now. You don’t have to worry about your tour, you have been doing this for god knows how long now. The stage is your playground. It is where you shine the most. It is who you are, the people working with you in your tour think the same way I do. They know how much of a talented artist you are, they won’t do the things they do for you if they don’t believe you. You won’t loose me. I’m here. Look at me. I’m here. Wherever you are, whatever you do, I will always be looking at you proudly. You will always be here inside my heart, and no you wouldn’t loose yourself, you never lost who you are babe. You just hid it because you have to. Now is your time to show them that side of you. The people who loves you prolly knows that part of you, because look at how they embrace you when you told everyone that this tour is about Kwon Jiyong. Next year can fuck itself in its own asshole, don’t worry much about it. Don’t worry about your brothers, they can get by, I will look after Seunghyunie if that’s what worries you. Baby the only thing you should be doing by now is to enjoy.”
“Thank you. I knew it. You’re the only person who can take the load off of me.”
“Do you want me to take off your clothes?”
“YAH! Aren’t you too eager tokki?”
“It’s been so long since we saw each other, I sometimes feel like I’m single.”
“Is that why you wore that tiny Green dress, huh?”
“You want me to try it on for you?”
“What for? I’ll just take it off of you anyway. Come here.”
“Don’t stare at me like that.”
“Wae?”
“I’m getting more horny.” * runs away *

;“I wanna take a video while walkimg.”
“Michoso?”
“Wae?”
“We’re walking at dawn holding hands in the very same street where our agency is and where most fans camps out.”
“Who cares?”
“Your fans does.”
“We need to make them understand. I don’t intend to hide all my life .”
“I want that too, but you know it’ll be hard.”
“Do you remember us walking this street? Back when we’re both not worth people’s attention? Remember when we were treading this old road body tired from training but still full of hope because we promised that we’ll make it big. Look at us Noona! I told you I’ll make you proud right?”
“Jiyong, you and your Jet Lag.”
“Let me just finish this stick and I’ll post this one.”
“You should really stop smoking babe.”
“Done!!! I wish quitting is as easy as composing songs.”
“Whatever.”
“It’s been quite a while to walk this road.”
“It doesn’t change,”
“You’re feeling Nostalgic.”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“A decade ago, i was just trying my best to hold this pretty Noona’s hand, Look at what I have become. This pretty Noona is mine now.”
“Ji stop making me weak to my knees.”
“Stop making me fall for you first.”
“Like you never make me fall for you deeper with just one look.”
“Aren’t we getting too cheesy babe?”
“Are your feet curling up?”
“Ani. I can shower you with sweet words every waking hour of my life love, if you’d ask me to.”
“I just wanna see you happy.”
“Then be my guest in my Manila stop.”
“Ji...” * gobsmacked *
“KRUNG GRABE”
“Stop saying that. People will use that term to tease you.”
“I don’t care. I want them to tease me more.”
“Joah?”
“Mmm.. I never felt this happy I feel like all my worries were washed away. I feel so... accepted.”
“You have to get used to it. They love the idea of celebs being in relationships.”
“I want them to be my in-laws. Did you hear them scream? Our ship name? Babe that was the first time ever in my life. The whole place was roaring not just
my name but yours too. It makes my heart jump and do flips and cartwheels.”
“Aigoo. Arrasseo. Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For the surprise. The Hoodie, the Encore stage. Your failed plan.”
“I should be the one thanking you, for gracing my stage. For making me feel like the country and the people you have loved your whole life feels the same way with me, but I won’t stop until i become successful with my plans.”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re touring with me.”
“Ji I have other work.”
“Cleared it.”
“I have Variety shows, Ji...”
“I already took care of them. Baby please.”
“Which stop?”
“Every stop.”
“Ji!!!”
“Why?”
“You know your little wives will go berserk on me.”
“Your the Big Wife, they’ll understand.”
“Aigoo. I can only do 1 more stop.”
“Whatever. It’s so beautiful to star gaze here, you chose the right spot for our house. How do you say this place’s name again?”
“TA GAY TAY.”
“ TAGAYTAY.” “MAHAL KO KAYO.”
“Mahal kita.” * kisses forehead *
