Gratefulness~ pt.1

When the boys leave, Seungri calls out:
“I feel like we can trust you. You seem like a really nice girl. You can stay here or go or do what ever. We will be back before evening.”
“Thank you. I really like you guys too”, I encourage myself to say and smile at Seungri. He smiles back and shuts the door after himself.

I enjoy a moment being alone and chill in the livingroom. I send another text message to Sara but she manages to send one before me.
Sara: “I couldn’t sleep so I wanted to ask you how it’s going in there.. :D?”
Me: “You wouldn’t believe it if I told u :Dd”
Sara: “I bet so but tell me :-O!!!”
“How long did you stay in their suite? What happened?? Did you try to hit on the members ;);)”
Me: “Hhahaha! Staph iiiit! ::D”
Sara: “Tell me!!!! :D I’m so jelly!”
Me: “Well actually...”
Sara: “Whaat?! GURL, WHO DID YOU SLEEP WITH”
Me: “I didn’t say anything yet! :D”
“But I’m still here in their cool suite ;)”
Sara: “No way! :Dd did you stay overnight?”
Me: “Yep :D I fell asleep at some point and then I woke up in Tae’s bed…”
Sara: “Then.. Did Taeyang sleep with you? :oo”
Me: “Noo he slept somewhere else :D..”
Sara: “Ooh.. Damn :D Well that’s a relief! You didn’t steal my bias!”
Me: “Heh ;) no I didn’t”
“But now I’m gonna go and take a shower here and then sneak into my own suite so let’s talk more later:>...”
Sara: “Yeah do that:D aaagh I want to take a shower in their room too!”

I find a clean towel from a shelf and I place it next to the bathtube. I dress off the shirt, fold it neatly and brush my hair with someone’s hair brush in front of the mirror. I step inside the bathtube and water myself. I observe boy’s shampoos but then I end up with the hotel's own. I don’t want to smell manly...
I’m showering peacefully and singing Taeyang’s song 'Eyes, Nose, Lips'. I enjoy the moment to the fullest, sing from my heart and admire the amazing view. I’d like to have this kind of bathroom at home… Suddenly I hear a light ping from the livingroom. I’m staying quiet for a while but because I can’t hear anything, I make myself believe that it was just something that drop on the floor. I continue singing and let the water run down my skin.

The door knob turns. It scares the life out of me and I pull the shower curtains around me with the speed of light. My heart starts beating hundred and ten. When the door is already open, someone realizes to knock on it.
“Can I come?” I can hear a familiar voice and I utter something for an answer. Taeyang peeks from behind the door and looks at me amused. I must look very adorable. Like a wet shower curtain tortilla.
“I’m so sorry but..” Tae begins but then a man jumps in front of him. I recognize him, Yang Hyun-suk, the founder and CEO of YG. I change color to red from head to toe. How embarrassing is this!
But the man stands as stable as a rock just one meter away from me and he doesn’t look like he’s ashamed at all, rushing in when I’m showering. Taeyang looks like he could burst into laughter at any second.
“Yang Hyun Suk”, he introduces himself smoothly and shakes hands with me quickly. Then he wipes his wet hand on my towel.
“Yes, I know..” my voice is shivering.
“Good. Now, I heard you singing.” I’m just staring at Hyun-suk without blinking my eyes and listening as a someone so influental man is talking to me with a serious voice.
“You were good”, he compliments and his cold expression doesn’t change at all. It’s very quiet and akward.
“T-thank you..”
“Sing more”, he blurts. I really don’t understand yet what he’s doing in the room. After a while he repeats impatiantely:
“Sing more.”
I look at Tae. He’s nodding his head and I can read from his expression: “You’d better sing or you’ll never get off the shower”. How scary it is to sing a song to the real singer and to a very respected person.
Eventually, I start from the chorus:
“No ye nun, ko, ip..”
“No. From beginning. Beginning”, he demands, so, I sing the whole song right from the beginning to the end even though I think I sound terrible and my voice is shivering like crazy.
After my performance, Yang Hyun-suk is staring at me from under his eyebrows and Tae is smiling at me politely.
“Good”, the man jus says. “You want to join us?”
Oh, what? Huh? Are we going to get coffee or what? I don’t know what to say and he’s waiting for me to answer. I look at Taeyang confused.
“You want a record deal?” Tae clarifies and looks at me curiously.
“What?” I spit out and I feel my body shaking. Excuse me, what? I almost let the curtain get off my hand but then I remember that I’m completely naked. A warm wave goes through my body.
“I-I-I don’t know… W-what? …This happened so quickly”, I stutter and the man turns around, says something to Tae and walks past him. I can hear a door opening and closing.

I’m still standing in the bathtube and staring at Tae astonished. He turns to me and comes to hand me the towel. I take it. Then we both laugh for what had just happened.
“That’s… Yeah. That’s our CEO”, he laughs. I wrap the towel around myself. He takes another smaller towel out of a small cabinet and starts thoughtfully drying my hair. I smile by myself.
“He’s a bit weird and tough but you’ll get used to it. He can be nice too”, he explains like I was already joined in.
“He gives you some time to think.”

He places the towel on the edge of the bathube and I turn to him.
“That was.. Really akward”, I give a laugh and he smiles amused.
Then Tae lifts his hand slowly near my face and slides it down my cheek all the way to my chin. We look at each other eye to eye… Then he startles and walks shyly out of the room and shuts the door afterwards.
I come out of the bathroom after a while and I see Tae sitting on the sofa, looking outside the window. I go to his room to get my watch and then I come back to the livingroom. I’m looking at him as I try to get the watch on my wrist.
“Is everything okay?” I ask. He turns around to look at me. He smiles.
“Are you guys staying here for how long?” I continue.
“One month”, Tae answers.
“Okay”, I say. “Can I borrow this..?” I point at the towel around me. I wouldn’t like to dress in the clothes I wore last night.
“Aah. Yes”, he says. It feels so akward that I just leave right away and head back to my own hotel room.
