CHAPTER 1 DARAGON….the never-ending story v  PrologueIt was a gloomy day with only the slightest sunlight seeping through the spotless windows of the dancing studio. Dara was sitting on the floor with her heart pumping so wildly that she was entirely out of breath. What had just happened? Had she imagined it?Or  was she daydreaming? Had she really done that? And had G-Dragon, her ever so charming crush, just gazed into her eyes, and told her he loved her…This was only the beginning of one of the greatest love stories we were ever to witness. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Monday, 07/01/2011It was a typical Monday for the girls of 2ne1 – early breakfast at 7am, a quick training session until 9, and then the long hours of preparing for their upcoming comeback the following summer.2ne1 was an idol group made of  Korea’s most anticipated and talented young female artists at the moment. CL – an always fierce leader in everything she did, she was a fashion queen with love for the extravagant. Park Bom – an adorable lady of an age slightly older than the usual idols in Korea, but nonetheless, as cute and funny, as any other young girl. The maknae Minzy, or ero Minji, as many loved to call her – an energetic girl with passion for dancing, and an angelic voice. And Sandara…or just Dara, the girl who everybody loved for her girl-next-door sweet personality, and endless creativity.Everybody was working on perfecting their new dance moves (well, apart from Park Bom who was hiding in the dressing room,  trying to sneak in some jellybeans), which were going to be part of their latest comeback song – “I’m the best”.  The music video for that song was scheduled to be filmed that evening, so everybody had to be at the top of their game for it.As usual, Dara was working diligently on her own in a corner of the dance studio. Her thoughts were focused on that one move she still couldn’t master quite well – the Zombie reaper. “What a strange move”- she thought- “But once I get it down, it will look so cool with my new rocker-chic image. Oh,  yes, I have to nail that one, and all my blackjacks will love me for it. Te-he ^_^”.Time was passing slowly. Everybody was nervous for the MV, and was buried in their own thoughts. When suddenly…”Hey, y’all! What’s up? Bang-bang-bang” – “What’s that noise?” – thought Dara. She turned around and saw him – GD, the one and only leader of YG’s biggest boyband – Big Bang.GD was every girl’s dream guy – smart, charming, unique and talented. Yet, he was never one to boast with his virtues, and always acted like a complete gentleman with everybody around.“Let’s go grab some lunch, everyone! You’ve worked so hard. You need some rest before the big night!” – cheerfully said GD.  “It’s my treat, so get ready for some serious pigging!”Everybody instantly brightened both because of the promising imagine of delicious food they had in mind, and because of GD’s energetic aura, which always lifted everybody’s spirits up. Everybody took their jackets, and joyfully but also carefully sneaked out of the building, so the big bosses wouldn’t see their sudden break. Only Dara remained in her corner, still working hard on her moves.GD noticed she remained behind, and decided to try to convince her to join them for some much deserved rest and fun with the rest of the team.“Hey, Dara…are you coming? Don’t tell me you are staying here on your own to practice? Your moves are already so sweet, and I bet you will do great in the MV.” – GD said in a playful voice.“Oh, it’s okay…umm, I need to practice my twirling a bit more ( *wide grin*). Don’t worry about me. I will be right here when you guys come back.”- was Dara’s quick response – “I might even work on my facial expressions a bit more. So, I can impress my faithful Blackjacks.”“No, come on, Dara-shi. Please, join us, and I promise to help you in practicing afterwards. You have to eat! Look how frail you are.” – GD disagreeably replied.“Mmm…okay, I can come but only if you help me on my twirling afterwards as you promised” – said Dara.“I promise! Lets go now because everybody else must be already there waiting for us.” -  said GD with a slight victorious smirk on his face.                                                                            ***It was gloomy outside, the rest of the YG crew we nowhere to be seen. They had probably reached the nearby restaurant a while ago, and were now eating excitedly some delicious food. In fact, there was no one else on the streets either, as that was a highly secluded area of the city, which was specifically arranged by the YG company, so its artists would feel secure there.GD was walking slightly before Dara, who was quietly mincing behind him. They weren’t talking much, as Dara felt too shy to talk to GD, who she had fancied ever since she first entered YG Entertainment more than 3 years ago. Suddenly….”FREEZE!” – a savage looking hobo guy with a gun appeared before them. “Give me your wallet and watch! Hers too!” – he shouted. GD did not want to cause any trouble, so he willingly took his wallet out of his pocket, stripped his earrings and watch, and handed them over to the armed guy.“Good! Now let me see that little miss Sunshine behind you. Bring her forward!” – the hobo nodded towards Dara, who was standing still, incapable of saying anything due to her fear.“Please, not her, I’m a famous singer. I have money. I will pay you. Just let her go, and I will call my manager to come with more money. Please…” – pleadingly asked GD. Dara shivered, she was so afraid of the blood-thirsty look of that strange man, that she felt like screaming at the top of her lungs but she couldn’t find her voice. It was gone. She had frozen with fear.GD’s face was worried. Glancing first at the guy, and then at Dara. His body was slightly shaking, his hands – tightening, his teeth- clenching.  At once, he jumped towards the vagrant guy, and grabbed his armed hand. “Aaaahhh!” – cheepingly exclaimed Dara.  “G-DRAGON!”G-Dragon tried to kick the gun out of the hobo’s hand but he wasn’t fast enough, and the attacker pushed him away. “Ha…so that’s how you like it, huh? You want me to hurt you for real? Then that’s exactly what you will be getting, mister!” – solemnly said the hobo man, and pulled the trigger – “Baammmm!”....a sparkle came out of his old Smith & Wesson revolver. “Ha-ha-ha…there you have it, what you asked for! Die now!” smuggishly hissed the gruesome man.Dara saw GD falling slowly, like in one of those old movies where everything runs on slow motion, as you are realizing what is happening around you. “Thump!” – GD body hit the ground. Dara still couldn’t grasp what was happening. “ Was GD just shot? How is this possible? But that’s GD…the one and only GD! And I still haven’t told him how much I like him! NO! NO! NO!” – this time out loud she said – “NO! I cannot let this happen…not to my GD.”Suddenly everything changed….bright light surrounded Dara…she wasn’t the same girl anymore. The hobo was looking at her with wide eyes, his pupils dilated, his mouth open, his hands shaking irresistibly.“What’s happening to me?”- thought Dara – “I feel different. I feel…strong but light. Like I can fly…”And then she saw it – her reflection in the nearby car window – light was exuding of her, her fingers were translucent, her eyes – endless pits of scorching lava – she had turned into an Angel of Destruction. Her fear mixed with her fury had woken the deeply hidden demon in her. She had turned into a walking inferno for everyone daring to cross her way.“One small move is enough” – Dara thought – “and GD will be revenged”….”…but is that right? Am I here to kill or to cure?” – her thoughts continued.                                                                       ***A gentle breeze, one breath, an eye blink…it was all Dara could remember.“Where am I? What has just happened?” – confusedly Dara’s thoughts were droning – “There was light…and GD was dead” “Dara! Dara! Wake up, Dara! Come on, Dara, wake up! Please, wake up!” – GD shouted. Dara opened her eyes slowly. “Oh, thank God! You were unconscious for a while here. I thought you had a sun stroke. You got me so worried, Dara- shi.” – GD kindly said.“What happened?” – asked Dara. “I’m not sure. Last thing I remember was us going out for lunch. Then nothing for a while… and then I woke up in the middle of the street. You were lying next to me, unconscious. So, I brought you back inside. And I remember having a dream – there was a hobo, and I was dead….but, please don’t laugh at me, you turned into a burning angel. Sooo pretty. And then you blew a kiss to the hobo, and his soul burned and gave me a new life. Suddenly I woke up, and we were just lying on the street. You, and I.” – discomposedly GD said – “But it must have been a dream, right? We must have lost consciousness because of the strong sun, right?” – hopingly he asked. Dara looked through the window…it was a gloomy day. No sun to be seen anywhere. And she remembered, she remembered everything – the light, the pain, the heat…and the kiss. She had saved GD, her loved one. Dara then turned towards GD and said – “Yes, it must have been a sun stroke. Definitely a sun stroke.”, and smiled ever so lightly.GD then looked straight into her face, his eyes were flickering and a bit wet, his hands still shaking almost undetectably, and said – “Dara…don’t ever again dare getting hurt. Okay? I cannot stand it. I care so much about you. I always have. From the first day I saw you, 3 years ago…until my last day, I will love you. Please, take good care of yourself for now. And someday, when it’s right for us, I will take care of you instead.” Then he shyly turned around, wiped his eyes very quickly, and left the room.And once again, Dara was sitting on the floor with her heart pumping so wildly that she was entirely out of breath.What had just happened? Had she imagined it?Or  was she daydreaming? Had she really done that? And had G-Dragon, her ever so charming crush, just gazed into her eyes, and told her he loved her…This was only the beginning of one of the greatest love stories we were ever to witness.  TO BE CONTINUED… ForewordThank you everyone for reading this story.
