The night sky was undeniably bright with the moon illuminating the entire universe. The cold wind blew softly, ruffling his hair and shirt as he stared at the cottage down the hill, far from the busy city of Seoul.

The cottage was modest in size, a traditional Korean house which get a lot of visitor during the holiday. The visitor ranks from every ages, foreigners or locals, either to visit the old cottage or to pray at the shrine, that was located far to the left from where the main building was.

As knowing that he arrived, the front door opened, there wasn't anyone who peeked nor walked outside. But Seungri wasn't shocked. He knew he was expected to come.

He exhaled loudly and teleported himself to the front door. He peered inside. The room that served as the Living room was modernized, much to Seungri's surprise, he never thought the people who lived there was a fan of modern Korean culture.

He walked in.

The aroma was also different. Gone was the old musky smell that tainted the place, instead it was replaced by a sweet lavender smell. The television was turned on, with an actor he known as Lee Kwang Soo running across the big screen, Yoo Jae Suk close on his heels. A smile formed on Seungri's lips. He was in the variety show before and those guys were really funny, especially that tall guy.

Suddenly a foreign smell filled Seungri's nostrils and he turned around. A girl who was holding a hand towel in which it seemed like she used to dry her still wet hair, and a steaming mug of hot chocolate in her other hands walked out from the other room, the Kitchen. She stopped abruptly when she saw an intruder in her house but her shocked expression was turned into a happy one as she squealed loudly.

"Oh my gosh! You are Seungri from Big Bang!"

Seungri took a step back. He definitely forgot to cover up. He never thought a descendant would be this young so he didn't bother to even cover his face, and now he found a fan, but hopefully not a sasaeng.

"My gosh, Seungri oppa, I'm a big fan of yours!" the girl squealed again.

Seungri forced a smile. He didn't came all this way for this.

"Ne, kamsamnida." He replied politely, doing a little bow with his head.

"Can we take a picture? Oh my gosh, Yura will flip out if she knew you're here!" She hurriedly put down her mug and towel on the coffee table and pulled out her phone, probably calling her friend.

"Um, Miss.." Seungri started.

"Oh no, look at me. I'm sorry, I got a bit driven away. Its not usual that we get a celebrity visitor, let alone a world famous one," she giggled. "I'm Minah."

Seungri nodded slowly. "I'm sorry to disappoint you Miss Minah, but I'm here for an important reason, and I'm afraid I can't make it wait."

Minah pouted. "Well, you're here for that old woman right?" Seungri nodded. "I'll let you meet her, but you'll have to take a picture with me later. Deal?"

Seungri flashed his best smile. "Of course." and Minah jumped in delight.

"She's at the shrine. You can go oppa. I'll see you later!" She hugged him and turned to her TV show.

Seungri walked slowly to the lonesome building at the back, which was surrounded by pond. There was a mini bridge that connected the stone pathway from the main house to the little shack on the backyard. He took a step further and he was at the centre of the mini bridge, inhaling the smell of lotuses blooming, the night air bring with it. It helped to calm Seungri's nerves. A bit.

It was just like he remembered, old and inviting. He used to come by, but that was before, and since everything changed, he never thought he would set foot to that place again.

Seungri shook his head. He was there for his prince, he had some important work to do, and he should start doing it, not standing there thinking about the past.

He stopped on his track. It was really quiet, if he didn't know better he would've thought the shrine was unoccupied. But since he was there, the door must opened by itself right? Like it always did whenever he came before. He bit on his lower lip and stepped forward, nearing the door and placed his palm on the wooden surface.

It was warm on the other side, that means someone's there, probably lit a small fire to heat up the whole place.
Seungri pushed the door to the side, but it didn't budge. His eyebrows met as he tried again, still the same.

"Go away." a soft voice said from inside.

Seungri froze, it was then he realized that he had missed that voice, that same voice that lulled him to sleep.

"I don't want to see you." the same voice said again.

Seungri rested his forehead on the door. "Let me in."

"No. I want you to go away."

"Look, Youngji, I'm here not to play, so open the door, please."

The door was slid open immediately and Seungri jumped back, a hand on his forehead, rubbing the sore spot.

"So you're saying that you came here before just for fun?" a girl not more than nine, stood by the opened door, shouting at him. Seungri's jaw hung open before he regained his posture.

"What is this?" he motioned to her.

"What's wrong with this?" she replied, half yelling as she mimicked to what he was doing. "Are you disappointed at me, looking like this? Do you want to say that I'm too young for you now?"

He massaged his temples. He came to discuss, but seemed like its not what they're doing now.

"I don't come to fight." he started but he was cut by an inhumane shriek from the cottage.

Seungri and Youngji shared a look before rushing to the source of ear splitting voice just to see two girls hugging and jumping at the same time in front of the main door.

"What happened here?" Youngji asked. Both of the girls' head turned to their direction and they looked . . . Happy.

"See? I told you, he's here!" Minah gushed to her friend.

"Oh my gosh, you're right! I'm so lucky." her friend jumped again.

Youngji turned her eyes to the guy beside her to see that he was already smiling his million dollar smile. She frowned.

"Seungri oppa, this is my friend, Yura." Minah said.

"Annyeong haseyo, naneun Yura imnida." the Yura girl bowed 90 degrees and covered her mouth with her hands hide her giggles.

"Are you two done talking?" Minah nodded to Youngji. "Why are you looking like that eonnie? Aish, how childish." and to Seungri she said, "oppa, let's go inside?"

"Wait," Seungri smiled and turned to the little girl who was glaring at Minah. He crouched and whispered, "Come with me, please? We need to talk."

The two girls looked at the little girl like they were going to eat her alive.
"Is that the witch?" Yura whispered. Minah nodded gloomily.

Unfortunately Youngji heard it, and to annoy the girls more she gripped at Seungri's arm.

"Sure oppa, let's go." she answered cheerily.

Seungri smiled, happy because he'd finally managed to persuade Youngji at last.

Maybe his part of the job wasn't that hard.

"I'm sorry girls, I have some important job to do with Youngji." Seungri said. Minah pouted and Yura even looked like she was going to cry.

She wore her most expensive coat just to impress her favourite oppa, but she didn't even get the chance to share a drink with him.

"But a picture or two will be fine." finally Seungri added, and it brought back the shine to the girls faces.

Almost. Minah glared at the little girl who had a smug face on, while her friend Yura was busy taking pictures with Seungri.

"Ah I love this one, I am uploading it to SNS." Yura giggled as she happily typed on her phone. Seungri turned to his back and saw the other two girls were having stare competition, and tensions were in the air.

He cleared his throat. "Minah-ssi, lets take a picture."

Tearing away her gaze, Minah turned to Seungri and smiled. "Right."

"You're enjoying it."

Seungri kicked a rock. "What?"
Youngji rolled her eyes. "Nevermind, why did you call me again? I thought you don't ever want to see me again."

"I never said that."

"You did."

He sighed. "No I didn't. You were the one who said I am wasting your time."

Youngji stopped walking. "Oh really? So I better go now." she turned to her back and walked away, to the cottage.

She was acting like a child, and she knew it. But she was in a form of a little girl, so it wasn't that childish, at least for her.

"Come on, Youngji, I thought we're over this." The guy groaned. Wasn't she agreed to go with him a few minutes back?

"Nope." she kept walking away.

And then there was no sound. She slowed down her pace, and eventually she stopped walking. She had hoped for him to chase after her, but it seemed like there was no movement behind her. She swirled around on her little feet and saw that he was gone.

Tears were demanding to be released, she stood there waiting, maybe, just maybe he will come back.

Just when her first tear rolled down, she felt her body was being lifted, and next thing she knew, she was thrown over a shoulder.

"Put. Me. Down!" she screamed.

A deep chuckle made her quiet for a minute. "Not a chance babe. I'm taking you with me, with or without your consent."

"Seungri, let me down, or I swear-"

"You're going to turn me into a frog? Come on, Youngji, that trick does not scare me any more. You're a Seeress not a witch. Beside, if I turn into a frog, you'll have to kiss me to turn me back to normal." there's a hint of amusement in his word.

She's glad she was hanging on his back or else he would see her blush.

"What do you want with me?" she asked.

Seungri was quiet for a moment.

"We need you. We've got Yuna."

"What? You found her?"

Seungri nodded. "Yeah."

"Let me down."

"No. You'll run."

"Get a hold of yourself, I'm not running away. How can I meet my best friend looking like this?" she slapped Seungri's back.

Seungri stopped walking, what she said was true. Besides, he missed her real face...

"Okay, but no cheating." he put her down and caught her rolling her eyes at him. "Alright, now you can change."

She raised her eyebrow. "What?" he asked nonchalantly, and she scoffed.

"Turn around. I'm not changing infront of you!"

Seungri sighed, held his hands up in surrender gesture and turned around.

Youngji smirked and closed her eyes. She imagined her real form, her long brown hair, the white dress she seemed to like from that year's collection, and her white flats. Wind blew her body gently, and she felt the ground turned soft. The scent of roses filled her nose.

Seungri thought the temperature dropped a few as the wind blew, swirling behind him. He wanted to turn, but she had warned him to stay like that, though he didn't understand why she wanted him to turn away, it's not like he never seen her changing forms before. He smelled roses, and he knew in an instant she was ready.

He turned around and saw a long haired girl standing a few steps from him, replacing the tiny girl. Her plain white dress suited her perfectly, and a smile was formed on her luscious lips.

She opened her eyes slowly.

Seungri smiled and bowed.
"It's been a while, milady."
