TOP - Chapter 6 (1/1)

I look at her back who slowly disappearing among the dancing crowd. Her strut is something else. She made me never want to stop staring. What is it about this girl? She had insulted me, yell at me and practically belittled me but yet I am still sitting here, wishing she’d come back.I didn't expect her to be here and she caught me offguard. Her little remarks hit every spot and I had to snarl to protect my pride. I didn't want to, but I know I had to. I am still a man after all. She is suppose to be mesmerized by me, like all of the other girls here. Why doesn't she?What did she say about my number again? She used the paper to wiped her ass?? What was that??“I’m so sorry TOP-ssi. I’m so sorry. Just so you know, I have no relation with that woman whatsoever” A girl apologized from behind the bar as if she heard the mental conversation I had with myself.“Too bad” I reply without much thinking.“Sorry?” She leans in closer.“Too bad you don’t know her” I make my statement clear as my eyes still searching for the girl.“Do you…” She trails off.“Hyung!” Seungri appears out of nowhere, making me jump.“YA! Don’t do that!” I smack his head.“I was just searching for you. I thought you left” He pouts.I turn the stool, facing the bar again and Seungri, the oblivious man that he is, jumps on the stool next to me. Doesn’t he realise that I want to be alone now?He nudges my elbow. “Hyung”“Mm?”He nudges again, “Hyung”“MMMm?”“HYUUUNG!” He shakes my body just to get my attention.“WHAT!!” I turn towards him only to find him grinning cunningly.“I saw who you were talking to, hyung” He wiggles his eyebrow. Fuck Jiyong for teaching him that.“I was talking to this bartender over here” I point at the blonde haired girl with a barcode tattoo on her shoulder blades.“No you weren’t. I saw a dark haired beauty sitting on this stool earlier.” He grins.“Drop it” I mutter while sipping my dry Red Label.But Seungri didn’t drop it. Instead, he leans on the bar top towards the bartender. Instinctively, she leans closer too. “Hey, do you know who that girl that was sitting here earlier?” He whispers.“She doesn’t” I answer it for her instead.“Err…” She looks at Seungri and I repeatedly, contemplating of what to say. “Do you want me to know her?”“Yes! That would be helpful” Seungri replies cheerfully.“Then yes, I know her! She’s my roommate, my best friend, my sister from another mother!” She replies excitedly. What happened to ‘no relation’?“AIGO! DAEBAK!” Seungri claps and eyeing me.“What?” I retort.He nudges me. “You’re going to perform tomorrow, aren’t you?”“And?” I don’t like the tone of his.“Hana and I won’t be able to come… So, why don’t you give the All Access pass to these ladies here” He says, gesturing the bartender.She gasps and begins to hyperventilate.“Do you like BigBang?” Seungri asks the bartender seductively and she can only nod in excitement.“Do you like GD&TOP?” Seungri asks again and she nods quicker.“Do you want to watch them live and go backstage and meet them?” Seungri is really asking for a beating now. The bartender will drop her head if she nods any quicker.“Hyung! Give it to them!” Seungri turns to me and I see the bartender looking at me with hope filled her eyes.“You’re dead” I mutter to Seungri and raked my hair with my fingers before I sigh in defeat. “I’ll have my manager drop it to you tomorrow morning” and I hear a muffled shriek coming from the bartender.“Make sure to bring Seohee with you” Seungri adds and flee before I could grab his neck. *** We are on our rehearsal, going through the steps and formation for tonight’s performance. Hyunsuk hyung doesn’t want JYP or SM to beat him in this performance so he continues to torture us and try to make it perfect. The fact that Park Ji Min is still a newbie in this makes it even harder.“Seunghyun-ah! Get closer to her!” Hyunsuk hyung instructs and push Park Ji Min towards me.This is the eight time we’ve gone through the performance and I am getting more irritated by the second. I am extremely tired and my anxiousness only adds to my irritation.“I’m so sorry for this, TOP-ssi” Park Ji Min has her head bowed down as she stands close to me.I sigh, feeling guilty for letting the girl feeling my mood. “No, It’s not your fault. Let’s go through it again”After few more practices, finally Hyunsuk hyung finds his heart and feel a slight sympathy for us. He let us end the practice even though I know he still is not feeling completely satisfied with the performance. I don’t really care though, the moment Hyunsuk hyung gives the green light, I dash off to the waiting room.“Something’s bothering you?” Jiyong sits on the end of the sofa where I lay.“Nothing” I cover my eyes with my arms.“Hana couldn’t come today” Jiyong huffs and rests his body on the backrest of the sofa.“Yeah, I heard. She’s busy with her preparation, Ji” I console the whining man.“No. She could’ve come if only she got her pass” Jiyong says and I bolted upright straight away.“What?!!” I howl.He chuckles, “Don’t worry” He pats my shoulder, “Seungri told me. I guess you need it more than I do” He winks before he jumps off from the sofa to get away from my beating.Aish! I was trying to shift my mind off of her the whole day and Jiyong just had to bring the topic back! Oh God, why did I agree with Seungri! I should’ve learnt my lesson and never take Seungri’s advice! My cornrow days were his fault and I haven't get over the horror till this day!I drop my body back on the sofa, letting misery consume me. This is all my fault. Why did I succumb to her charm in the first place? But wait a second, what charm? She was cold, sharp-tongued and very condescending. Where’s the charm in that? Argh… who am I kidding? She is charming to me.Jieun noona emerges, carrying my blue suit with her. “Seunghyun-ah. Ppali!”I got up and quickly grab the suit that she’s holding and make my way towards the changing room. As I change, I can hear murmurs outside the door. Jiyong’s voice seems to be slightly chirpy than usual as he calls me to come outside.Once I settled with my costume, I step out of the changing room into the waiting room and pause midway once I see that black hair.It feels like a slow motion when she twirls around to my direction. Her hair flows like a silk and her rosy cheek showing itself to me. Her milky skin is exposed by the off shoulder shirt that she’s wearing. I can’t look away. What is life? Who am I? This girl took my breath away every time I see her.“Gamsahabnida for the pass, TOP-ssi” A voice coming from the person next to her takes me off my trance.“Ah…Um… Yeah… You’re welcome” I stutter, feeling heat travels to my face.“Ya! Seohee-ya! Say thanks!!” The blonde girl pushes Seohee’s body making her bows slightly.“Ya!!” She retorts but once she caught the glare from her friend she quickly bows to me, “Thanks”“Uh… Yeah… You’re welcome” I rub my nape, suddenly feeling that this blazer making me look stupid.“You know…” Jiyong steps closer, “You guys are the only girls TOP hyung ever invites to backstage”I pinch his side but he smacks my hand off quickly.“He doesn’t really talk to girls. Sometimes we think that he’s gay” He adds, making the girls chuckle.“Ji… I have your dark secret” I warn him.“Aish! Aren’t you bored using that card on me every time?!” He complains before bolted out the door.The room is now only the blonde bartender, Seohee and me. Somehow Jiyong had managed to trick everyone else to think that they were needed somewhere else, leaving the room to ourselves.I stand in front of them awkwardly, not knowing what to do as I fumbled with my shirt.“Um… You look good, TOP-ssi” The bartender breaks the ice.“Ah, Gamsahabnida” I bow appreciatively. At least there’s someone in this room who appreciates my beauty.“Are we done here or do you want to do anything else?” Seohee turns to her friend, disregarding me completely.“Ya!” the bartender hiss, “Don’t be rude! We’re here to watch the performance!”“We have to watch too??!” Seohee wails as if I’m not in the room.“You can leave if you want” I say quickly, still hugging to my pride. However inside, I am begging her to stay.“Oh trust me, I would love to” She retorts.“YA!” The bartender slaps Seohee’s head before she turns to me, “I’m sorry for the rudeness, TOP-ssi. Don’t worry, we’ll be watching and support you!”“Don’t add me up into this! I’m here just because you forced me to!” Seohee complains.I should be annoyed at this, shouldn’t I? A girl disrespects me, belittles me and now pays no attention to me. I should be mad, right? I should be offended, right? Then why is the only thing that goes around in my head is the fact that I want her? Despite her rudeness and her snappy attitude, I found everything about her is refreshing. It intrigues me further.“GD&TOP, in five” A man peeks his head in to signals me for the stage. Jiyong and the rest of the staffs flood the room once more as they give us the last touch up.“We’ll head to the audience then… Thank you so much for this” The bartender bows again, forcing Seohee down with her, before both of them are out of the door.I watch empty as the door closes. I don’t want her to leave. I want her to stay. I don’t mind the insult, as long as she stays. Wait, what am I saying?! Oh, Goddamnit!“Someone got it bad” Jiyong stands next to me, fixing his hat.“Talk to yourself” I retort as I make my way outside towards the backstage leaving the GD out of GD&TOP.The light turns on and loud cheers from the audience cheers as the platform lifts us up onto the stage. Our song starts and that’s my cue to start my ad-libs. Like being hypnotized, I am changed. I am no longer Choi Seunghyun for the spot light has changed me into T.O.P, the fierce rapper.I rap my part and after it ended, Park Ji Min emerges from behind to take the chorus. I move according to the rehearsal during the chorus, adding ad-libs along the way. It was when my second verse started, I noticed her. Her black hair rest on one side of her shoulder, giving me a full view of her bare right shoulder. Her eyes bore into mine as she watches me silently with her arm crossed across her chest. Her skin looks so smooth, making me imagine my lips resting on them, enjoying its softness.Unconsciously, I begin to rap for herFrom your style to your smile, every part of you is good

We’re slowly falling for each other

My emptied out cup, with your scent, fill it up   For once, I feel inadequate with my performance.
