Daesang

Yes - They were about to announce the winners of one of the Daesangs that BIGBANG was nominated for. It was the award for the best song. BIGBANG was nominated for their single, written by GDRAGON - ' Lies'. They were competing with SUPER JUNIOR for this award.

Even though So-Young already knew that BIGBANG was going to get the award, she couldn't help but feel nervous. Many things did not happen according to her memories. Even the order of performances was different than before. In this life, SUPER JUNIOR was the opening performance, and BIGBANG The closing one. This was completely different from the order in her past life. After much contemplation, she concluded that this world was not the same as her original one. Some minor differences were there that she did not realise until she paid extra attention to it.

*FLASHBACK*

It was finally the weekend when they had a little more free time than usual. It was this day that she was able to confirm her theory. Her parents called her and told her that they were not able to find a girl named Trisha Pathak anywhere in India. Though they were able to find her uncle and Aunt. It would be fairly easy to find a person if you knew where to look for them And So-Young was the person they were looking for ( She was Trisha Pathak in her past life). Thus, she knew all the details. The reasons for the person was not found was:

1) The person did not exist

2) Someone did not want them to be found. so, they hid the existence of that person.

So-Young immediately discarded the second reason from her mind.

So-Young : 'What am I thinking. This is not some Kdrama where the heroine did not know things about the past. My Parents were ordinary and my uncle even more so. Gosh! Minzy must be influencing me with her obsession with Kdramas.'

To further confirm her theory, she delved into some history books. The results matched her speculation. Some minor changes were found. They were not too obvious, but they were there. For example, some natural disasters did not occur, etc.

It took a few days for So-Young to come to terms with the fact, but eventually all that was left was relief. Things would have got really confusing if her 'old' self existed. She was suffering from an identity crisis while thinking of it.

So-Young : "If my past self did exist, then would it be my past or my present. Would talking to her be talking to myself?'

These thoughts gave her a massive headache. After finally accepting that fact, she was back in form.

She was both happy and disappointed when she leant of it. Happiness came from the fact that she was experiencing a new world with endless possibilities. But was disappointed by the fact that not all of her memories could be put to use.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

MC : " And the award goes to...."

A loud voice brought So-Young back to the present. The MC was announcing the results.

MC : "BIGBANG for their single 'lies'! Congratulations!"

So-Young was on her feet even before her sunbaes could react. She started cheering for her Hyungs with maximum enthusiasm. The BIGBANG members were a bit surprised by her unusual behavior. But soon broke into grins and made their way to the stage with their backs straight.

GDRAGON took the award from the MC and stood in front of the mic.

GDRAGON : "This is the second time we are attending this award show. It brings back a lot of memories. Only a year had passed but we have changes so much and have come so far. We have had our ups and downs. These memories have shaped us into who we are today. We wish to thank everyone that has been by our side throughout our journey. Thank you"

The five men bowed deeply to the audience and walked off stage. The words he spoke were few, but he managed to express all his feelings. GD always had a way with words. No wonder he could write so many songs. The five of them went backstage as they had to prepare for their closing performance.

So-Young felt as if the show was over in a flash, it was now time for the closing performance. The 2ne1 members were restless in their seats. They were happy that they were getting an opportunity to seethe sunbaes perform. Though they had seen them practice, it was always different when they were performing on stage. It was as if a switch was flipped. No longer were they the goofy sunbaes they interacted with. They turned into the BIGBANG members that were cherished throughout the country. They had a complete different aura around them. They had also grown a lot in this year.

The MC introduced them.

MC1 : "Sadly, the day is coming to an end. This is the last performance of the day."

MC2 : "But do not worry, you will be able to see us once again before we have to leave."

MC1 : "Enough of goofing around. Please welcome the group that has taken away one of the Daesangs."

MC2 : "Please welcome BIGBANG."

The moment the hosts went off stage, the whole surroundings turned dark. The spotlight was turned on illuminating the center of the stage. GD was standing in the center with his back facing the audience. The intro started playing and GD started with his rap verse. The spotlight switched between the members when they were singing their part. When the first chorus came, the whole stage was illuminated, showing the five members together in their magnificent glory. They spread out on stage and performed their dance in perfect synchronization, showing how much effort they put in.

They did nothing special, but the audience was not able to take their eyes off them. This was the difference between the two groups.

So-Young : "We have a long way to go huh?"

CL : "Yes! This is only the beginning."

Minzy : "They are able to draw us in to the performance. It is like magic!"

Bom : "Lets go girls! For our dreams!"

Sandara : "Hwiting!!"

The award show came to an end. The YG family was in the best of moods. They were able to bag the most number of awards. While Bom and Sandara could stay back and attend the after-show party, The three other girls weren't. They were still underage. They showed longing gazes to their eons and went into their minivan to be driven back to their apartment.
