"Gahooo~" you sing softly, staring at the puppy in front of you. "Gaho~ Hyung loves you."
He cocks his head at you, and stares for a second. And then he bites your nose.
"Yah! Bad Gaho," you mutter, rubbing your nose as you sit up. You glare at him from above, but that doesn't last long seeing as how you just can't stay mad at him. You gently pick him and hold him at eye level.
"Gaho~ Don't bite hyung. Hyung loves you, so be nice," and you pause, wanting to make sure he understands.
You're about to put him down, when a thought suddenly comes to you.
"Gaho, bite Seungriah next time he's here. Because Seungriah doesn't love me, and if he doesn't love me, he can't love you. And you shouldn't like people who don't love me or you. So bite him, yah?"
Gaho stares at you blankly, and then bites your nose. Again.
"Yah! Just like that, Gaho. Only bite him harder."

You're tired and you're sleepy and you're walking to get your makeup done so that you can get this whole photo shoot so that you can maybe catch an hour or two of sleep when he ambushes you, and hugs you.
He hugs you, and looks into the camera and says, "I missed him."
"What do you mean, you missed me?" you counter, you really hoped he actually missed you and not just for the sake of viewers of YGTV.
He laughs, and you laugh half-heartedly along with him. "Hyung, I sent you texts and I called you. Didn't you get them?" and he smiles at the camera, at some inside joke he has with all the fans.
"I didn't see them," and you smile too, because now you're playing the old fan service game. He never sent you any texts, and if he wants the damn public to think he did, well then the public will just have to damn think that you're the bad guy.
"You got them," he corrects you, his smile a little more forced now then it was just seconds before.
"I didn't see them," you repeat, your smile a little more easy as the teasing commences.
And then you faintly hear one of the noona's calling for you, and so you walk off. You can hear Seungri tell the camera's that he missed you one more time and you're shaking your head.
Some kids need to learn when to stop acting.

You're in your room and it's one of those rare nights you have, and you're curled up on your bed with Gaho and your laptop watching the latest episode of YGTV. And it just so happens to be the episode with the NII photo shoot. And it just so happens to be the part with you and Seungri.
"I missed him," he says, and now you can that he was smiling when he saw first you.
"What do you mean, you missed me?" you cringe at yourself.
"Hyung, I sent you texts and I called you. Didn't you get them?" and he laughs and you can tell he's a little confused, but goes along with. Then he smiles, and your heart breaks.
"I didn't see them." Your smile is much less beautiful then his, and it breaks your heart even more.
"You got them," he replies, still smiling. But now you can really see the strain he put into that one smile and you feel horrible. Which doesn't even make sense since he never sent you any text messages or called you.
You keep watching, because as you make your way off the screen, the camera focus on Seungri.
"I missed him," he says, smile not forced now and eyes bright. "It's been awhile since I've seen him," and his eyes shine brighter, it that's possible as he looks in the direction that you walked. He starts to take a step after you, but then stops and says, "He's probably tired." He looks the other way briefly, then after you once again as he says, "He stayed up for three nights... But it'll work out. His songs are good." And the sincerity in his voice just kills you.
You stop watching then, closing your laptop and placing it next to your bed.
"Gaho, do you think Seungriah really sent me texts?" you mumble, running a finger softly over the puppy's back. "I never got any texts..."
You shake your head and sigh, you should just go to sleep. He never sent you any texts and he was just saying that for the public.
But the longer you lay there, the more you think about the sincerity in his voice and the sparkle in his eyes and his forced smile. And you can't really take it much longer.
You reach for your phone next to your laptop, and go to your inbox, expecting to see no messages.
And to your surprise, you have messages. More than one. All from the same person.

i guess i'll just talk to you when you get back.
hwaiting.
You cringe as you notice the original date that the texts were sent. All from two weeks ago. And you cringe again when you realize that your stupid, good-for-nothing phone decided to hate you and not alert you that you had new texts. Dumb phone.
You sigh as you quickly dial his number, and count the rings until he answers. One, two, three-
"Hyung," he says tiredly.
"Seungriah, I missed you and I was busy, but that's no excuse, and I'm sorry I never texted you back and I'm sorry I never called you and thank your for your support. I love you too," you say all in one breath.
It's silent for a moment, but you can hear him breathing on the other end, and you're holding your breath and -
"Hyung, your phone is dumb."
