Charge

Okay, let's continue writing about the subtle warmth and changes that followed the surprises in Bangkok:

(Continued from above)

The backstage hug at the Bangkok concert was filled with sweat, glitter, and indescribable excitement. At the after-party, G-Dragon held Su You's hand tightly for almost the entire time, as if afraid that if he let go, she would disappear like this sudden surprise. When he introduced her to his team members and collaborating musicians, his tone was overflowing with pride and affection.

"This is my wife, Su You," he said again and again, each time with the same reverence he felt for their first meeting. Su You maintained a polite smile throughout, responding to the curious and well-wishing glances from all sides, but in a corner where no one was watching, her fingertips would quietly clasp back, conveying a support and understanding that only the two of them understood.

Private time after the celebration banquet

It was past midnight when they returned to their hotel suite. The hustle and bustle had subsided, leaving only the dazzling lights of Bangkok outside the window. G-Dragon, stripped of all his stage glamour, collapsed wearily onto the sofa, but his eyes still shone brightly as he looked at Su You.

"Are you tired?" Su You walked over and sat down naturally next to him, gently pressing her fingers on his temples. "Close your eyes, let me massage you."

Kwon Ji-yong obediently closed his eyes, feeling the moderate pressure of her massage, and let out a comfortable sigh. "Why are you here?" he asked again, his voice soft after all his defenses had been lowered. "Didn't the project just end?"

“I just missed you.” Su You’s answer was simple, but it struck right to the heart. “And I wanted to see with my own eyes what you looked like standing on the world stage.” She paused, her voice softening, “You’re even more dazzling than I imagined.”

G-Dragon opened his eyes, grabbed her hand, and gently kissed it: "That's because you were in the audience." He looked at her, his eyes deep, "You know, the moment you appeared on the big screen, I felt... the lights in the entire venue became brighter because of you."

Sweet words weren't new, but coming from him in the dead of night, after having just captivated tens of thousands, they carried a heart-stirring sincerity. Su You's face flushed slightly, but she didn't avoid his gaze: "That song... it's very beautiful. Was it written for me?"

"Yeah," G-Dragon nodded, touching his nose a little embarrassedly, "It's still being revised. I originally wanted to wait until it was more perfect before playing it for you. But at that moment... I couldn't help but want to sing it."

At this moment, they were no longer G-Dragon and scholar Su You, but simply an ordinary couple sharing the softest corners of their hearts. The time spent apart and the pressure of their respective lives melted away in this unexpected reunion and the straightforward expression of their love.

A "stolen" day in Bangkok

The next day, G-Dragon turned down all non-essential media interviews and business meetings, squeezing out a whole day of free time. They didn't visit famous tourist attractions, but simply wandered aimlessly through the streets of Bangkok like an ordinary couple (Albeit was accompanied by bodyguards and assistants a little further away).

He took her to a secluded riverside restaurant he had discovered during his tour years ago, where they ate authentic Thai food and watched the boats coming and going on the Chao Phraya River. Pointing into the distance, he said, "Last time I came here for a concert, I sat here alone afterward, looking at the same scenery, and I thought to myself, 'I wish I could come with you next time.'"

Su You listened, her heart aching and tender. His world seemed bustling and prosperous, but behind it lay an unknown loneliness.

They went to Chatuchak Weekend Market, holding hands tightly amidst the crowds. G-Dragon, wearing a hat and mask, stopped enthusiastically at a small handicraft stall, buying Su You a simple yet exotic hand-woven bracelet. Su You, meanwhile, earnestly asked the stall owner about the uses of various spices at a spice stall, saying she wanted to try making Thai dishes for him when they got back.

In the afternoon, they nestled on the private terrace of their hotel suite, doing nothing but cuddling together and watching the sky gradually turn from azure to the colors of dusk. Su You leaned on his shoulder, flipping through the think tank's documents; Quan Zhilong, meanwhile, held his guitar, occasionally strumming the strings and humming a few off-key melodies—the inspiration for a new song was sprouting.

This stolen day had no schedule, no cameras, only time flowing slowly between them. For the two accustomed to a fast-paced and high-pressure life, this ordinary tranquility was a luxury as precious as a treasure.

After a brief reunion, Su You returned to Seoul to continue her research. G-Dragon, on the other hand, led his team to the next stop on their tour.

The geographical distance had widened again, but the surprise in Bangkok acted as a powerful adhesive, bringing their hearts closer. During video calls, the atmosphere was noticeably more relaxed. G-Dragon would proudly show off his attempt at making Thai stir-fried noodles following Su You's "instructions" (though the presentation was questionable), while Su You would jokingly criticize and then earnestly offer suggestions for improvement.

Their conversations became more in-depth. G-Dragon started discussing with Su You the creative blocks they encountered in their new song, and even some uncertainty about the future; Su You would also share the challenges and achievements she encountered at work, and listen to his sometimes whimsical yet insightful advice.

A deeper level of "seeing" and "understanding" was established between the two. They were not only lovers, but also each other's most trusted comrades and soulmates.

G-Dragon's team also keenly noticed the change in him. After Bangkok, although Mr. Kwon continued to work incredibly hard, the subtle tension between his brows, caused by the long separation and pressure, seemed to have eased considerably. During breaks, he checked his phone more frequently, and a smile would often unconsciously appear on his lips.

"Looks like your surprise inspection was quite effective," the assistant joked with the stylist privately.

"That's the power of love," the stylist replied with a smile as she adjusted the costumes for the next performance.

Even his stage performances seemed to be infused with a new, warmer, and more resolute energy. Especially when singing those love songs, his eyes were no longer just theatrical expressions of affection, but rather held a more genuine and tangible tenderness.

Meanwhile, in Seoul, Su You's life was also quietly changing. She remained independent and focused, but on her social media account (a very private account followed only by close friends and family), she would occasionally share snippets of her life—a newly added green plant on the windowsill, a good book she was reading, or a photo of her desk overlooking the Han River from a certain angle. She didn't explicitly say it, but those who knew her could sense a more relaxed and warm aura emanating from her.

Colleagues at the think tank noticed that when Dr. Su rested, she would occasionally gaze out the window, lost in thought, with a gentle, thoughtful expression on her face. Some speculated that she might have spoken to her husband, who was far away in another country, on the phone; others felt that her brief trip to Bangkok had given her a boost of energy.

Of course, the couple couldn't escape being "punished" by their friends. In Bigbang's group chat, Seungri sent over a dozen "disdainful" emojis in a row:

Brother! Your wife went to Bangkok and you didn't even tell us!

[I saw this on the trending topics! That's so unfair!]

[Is this a romantic scene? Give us single folks a break!]

Taiyang sent a private message: "I saw the news, that's great. Please give our regards to Yuzu."

TOP went even further, sending a package to their home in Seoul containing two exquisite Thai Buddha statues, with the message: "[Received in Bangkok, may you always be this sweet.]"

Faced with these teasing remarks and well wishes, G-Dragon and Su You smiled at each other during the video call, a sweet feeling of "we share a little secret" flowing in the air.

The surprise in Bangkok was like a highly effective emotional recharge. It didn't change their respective trajectories—G-Dragon continued his global tour, igniting stages in city after city; Su You continued to cultivate her expertise in think tanks, using her wisdom and talent to influence the workings of the real world.
