The water felt like a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVgo0vADD5
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLHQFMjuRe
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fj6ic3AKX
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvew7iOUOZw
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOiySsTmlh
breathe. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWhz36lBiU
I pushed myself upwards 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNEeCtGd73
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJjFypjfi5
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3TJbVhnKh
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxEbqatopP
edge.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG51ubuHMO
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIjbP9n1zv
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuxxyuYEOL
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡundnP6pl7U
I looked ridiculously 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BKfwwmi1p
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oSlatrnOT
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hrn85ZTMB
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQKkzrKMnK
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o4h3uQ6Ll
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZhl2rZ9F9
I looked around me and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5dQZI0Byx
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT1C5iYClF
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMcRupMyFG
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLdso6Mmg7
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGISXEAR7q4
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPMM6ptmFY
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ04Y0pTbFA
I heard Zoey and the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGSr1begjH
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiChN9pRjG1
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkHGVVpkNz
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmuPzI5Ln2
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVTj30mI6R
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKSSUwRHon
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnNd5AIhE6
"I already told you, I'm1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgFwskuorY
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99ZcnxAr6t
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡporVPPsdPW
from anyone.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz64JCxA2j
I made my way towards GD1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkfTwlluW1
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mbTO7JwrJ
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7SukaMbjo
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvKg79UKZv
"Oh, man, Sam," said 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSva6PgW5m
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfoM4uIlKb
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKAAffFDQp
game. Hope you didn't mind."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8A3oXMHx2
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWK7VKiF77
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxma5Exbo1k
"I told you, our 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WBqZU2w1D
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9AaFnVvwA
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeCVzumyIM
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GDqstmZN2
Daesung.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw9p6xP6e5
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpOgpRGjgf
I dialled Lee's number 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSG5U9bGso
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkzotsLb7X
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmXsNElDnP
They would know soon enough.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kKhnQnQEP
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkMiaLK4vZ
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAcY6WHF5j
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboBrAUgar0
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu2DLAvCEl
"No, not yet. But you 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeHh51j0s4
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WtdGBodGH
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYvuVWTChM
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIKoQIx6UY
"Okay, I'll be waiting."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aSlv9SFe8
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hArz6XrjE
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguS81lCANp
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg4HXET3Zh
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1JSzlAX5X
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9VhYS520T
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0enyH9ScJb
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAYBqbOodQ
I shook my head. I was 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkPN06zn1e
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VYXi9Kyrg
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0raCotEfQ
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMK7Tleb4h
After walking a few feet1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHonwXYIvk
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbgzITMQhR
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujr8Aw2kUM
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOIMAV1wl3
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9KLlY1iaT
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNWklZm5Tk
None of them answered as1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN319rYtgs
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hljRFRYeE
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIuigy3sTb
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlenlAIbBsT
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKRfydrltB
"I wasn't going to say 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNS1mi6ntJ
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBkHCDfuCv
you would want to hear from me is advice."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDvT5OZqK4
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyWtlYBUA2
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbhnbCtzmt
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyChvELeWb
"I'm still upset, though."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS06XNBNTPP
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN8rSfN93c
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw1ddX3saV
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jbs6vH1sm
I gave TOP an assuring 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8OFlVzKl7
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNpO4JwuPo
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yrzarRmND
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgfwd9liKF
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmiPBVlyHi
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy9mt0clay
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahroMpcFt3
We all found ourselves 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97UlSKXxDa
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0nMgTDVzZ
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip7sOKgCPz
were waiting for me. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJcG9qnkBm
"Hey, Sam, you don't 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOOwJcvHCo
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fX6rvhh78
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg9YEs9qX5
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxrXFQ9wMU
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11eumv1gyi
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qNtXwUk5f
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80f5nWpGqI
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21AjyplTEm
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj0WN0jwpE
I had my eyes closed 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIapUMl81sZ
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ801uKQ4NZq
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4jnEdUy1k
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSmBgI7i9d
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7HgzWUkbP
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2xlFT5jFS
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlcGbutCBS
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡersVyJluqX
Taeyang led me to his 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgma1OFHOC
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIimqqlRiJq
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufdOxS2Lon
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgfvUE44kX
In about thirty minutes,1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZA7h99KDp
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb3kz6PUmf
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz14J5ZmTtE
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ63ecGt5T
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm04IrP8i3j
appeared out of the elevator.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN3jSuMlt7
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwr48Na9ei
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX8kDICbKF
Lee who stood behind 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa3KN3qadC
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYhcF5SBPr
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s0U5EM4L0
other things in mind.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS7mbrsHhi
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJgZstkOcB
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KKfDKmuBV
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lyaiJOjtC
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKCvULZ1cj
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MzxCmiHWH
"We didn't just go there to have fun," I said, with my head down. "If there's anyone to blame for all this, it's me."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbhcxl00R1
There was an awkward 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp38zfzfaL
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kdHPkjI0h
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1vEOLZjiP
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA50HZpDS9H
"Well, I hear the press 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexhqdWqFAe
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjEanx3ecy
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qchoK9vyG
"That won't be 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlMClMSSTu
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jS4AidAtN
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVHba3YLeP
go to the press looking all wet."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK317C8Ebup
I breathed out a sigh of1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6se0cIWJAx
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTmisi7VE
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekzQMLR9Cl
"In the meantime, you go1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ORFHbbfO
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoIcGQZCKv
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzGjxewDZV
I nodded my head in 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kAaLxZCJO
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1awjBHVnx
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZmScqKz26
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTnsQVBrKy
"Alright," I said 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1f53niKRD
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFC0VCR6QX
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dofXlCuow
I was only making things worse.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK57xwM2xi
Before I turned to leave1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssbFxcfsaZ
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qPAD7XsTq
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZJooW7wAp
one.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhLwvHsLOI
***1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNObxjyul1
I sat on the couch all 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubgN2trlm8
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlaLgnfaVA
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMs8eHayUU
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeMnkAeC22
I had a box of paper 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6XTlZbglt
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf88dQNOGh
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly4ZuFxUM2
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1QhjxjX6o
I continued watching the1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSqd7Uhjes
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtUksb0BKK
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4iBrTUygC
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXp7h5XB8p
"Never better," I said, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAT3MvXqSt
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycezaFGyi4
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEp3V4IKeU
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvRpEWjhGT
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3nsaHCV70
"Ya, I'm actually enjoying it," I said as I put in a spoonful of chicken soup in my mouth. Mmm, it was so tasty.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBjK85jEB6
"And the others?" 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOzS9qeStY
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRWUT5aE7b
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXQbB98y1t
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRa1NYYM3R
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFAsA0er1X
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAtxA4GQ1p
"You don't know or you are?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTiUuEcrn5
I shrugged my shoulders. To be completely honest, I am still mad, but then again, I felt like I wasn't and that felt confusing.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5n5irJtyG
"I don't know, Tae," I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JcqnIYs6l
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvdXKHJto7
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr9hbvJsBr
forget all that happened yesterday."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG7JSpduNF
"Ya, I understand. They 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCexmyZhOv9
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOAhafzIzA
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ8yIvfMtF
going to get."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnddU2URj07
I looked on at Taeyang 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOott4dxGL
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNL1gJNBhI
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikxVDSjcMa
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNGtTxUENN
who was as tough as nails.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJo9qD370B
Last night, I took the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyWWunCqmW
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWYfHGZYZu
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwobfVj6Vpz
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypdimyWrha
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXPXTh5pWQ
Apparently, the managers1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd7zgppgKG
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v31CXffOj
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcl7B1OZcW
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp4SJbq0cq
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiQSwPWdMb
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkkLli5O6A
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyvH56z0S9
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKqCYOlQxB
and the reporters.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKyfk0nRlI
After my confrontation 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK32AC9m6h
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNYIxYj1hX
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QILp5styN
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnmUWowxSY
"Huh, I guess am still upset," I said, as I took in another spoon of soup in my mouth. "Especially after what GD did to me."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Fd2KRPGM
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViiPlo9ve7
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYFFQrqci6
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSeYHmnqxB
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaxaOt2tQY
"Have you tried talking to GD?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Hd0j5dGa
"To be honest, I haven't1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngSkUfNXqj
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf5rkm4sG4
slap him in the face if I see him."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vk8amtNtM
"I don't doubt that."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQf648KwKy
"And thank goodness my 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDhIKH0pbh
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR9cK48rdr
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1WGybuYnV
want to do is watch some TV."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv0WomNQT9
I quickly drank my 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CSdXhyqMb
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgciWqQq8M
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwalqYM76F
to.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdTgzw9tKY
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUOBL6Z1rE
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4SlcZZtxC
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vF4FOUHvs
"Nope."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlFhTAAV0h
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbminHCzeRx
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiD464vZCy
Taeyang didn't say 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV4lLkmm7a
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZLFa4mGft
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mF5PmzihP
"I know you fought or 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8zjJkwuyI
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV7ww9G7U6
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1W7qv0nFy
I noticed Taeyang smile 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul0TwsQnTT
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGzPc72bEy
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4QDrFqRBD
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrXWcDSfAN
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuEGdQiHFC
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdXCC68xwZ
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7hUhI4mdZ
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg2uOZB72W
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy6JKViu9X
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryPFfEOwjp
Before I could finish my1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhGL2yekgo
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd6gsgFwlL
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z8gbZ3XxB
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBiUutmjXI
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdsoI0icy7
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeU3SVhfQj
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkxNsYEVx2
"Yep, cheers to that." 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk3F4f62b4
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyexPx4SWKb
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA60hPsqbl5
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH0cAgSP2k
"We can't work on it without you," said Taeyang. "You and G-Dragon decided that the both of you would work on it together."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF4XAS5yRa
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVR6b2iFvM
"Wow, that sounds personal."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUZMyLa7QH
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvMzkQU6HE
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN4so9GMft
"I think I've a better 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b71YN8Shr
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlizuklv0an
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSsCDBUw4E
lyrics. It's better that way."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5I4lnyRfi
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLD7Asvtv4
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigTpTMN7t7
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PmW89erIy
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcdZ8yu5C0
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH302641Yn
"Haha, good point."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zrCWpkMas
Taeyang and I continued 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAGYpANzAw
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehdtvOi52M
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYZ2NY45Xf
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeaNlVkvOs
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Xv0bG3Ya
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOngTplVgDt
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8wFoZZ9sW
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVF7NwgvMx
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vr69GWF1i
While the two of us were1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UwvHyI2D6
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yggNL9ieE
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6DsK5piDg
I quickly went over to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYJqyyObLI
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDUBD6Cizk
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93zxGgdTkm
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazGR0If14Z
come up and I put the receiver down.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRCYsy6gp3
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZZ4IGCs8q
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88moaWlF4E
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrRoGJXKkB
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcMMcmGng1
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR4fESUBkd
"Eww, that pillow 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Men1bthW3
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eCaVamKo3
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqWNiIRUjS
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7poatJvmnG
A few seconds later, we 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB6DmaqEpY
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgnStSTGTu
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV4SjRhUtU
holding a box of chocolates.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4BJT7zsSO
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbSyJBGBiO
"Ah, no, the panda is a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNWi2bDe35
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiZY9CL1Zi
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoM9EBtkfY
same time.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJh4rMMhhn
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuhVnlnaAa
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkA0eAzyeO
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdnrTGAx3l
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FPGGfzp0a
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Oo77Zb9W
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65slqB0Pgv
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x6WzNjRmr
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDIOUqB0FP
"For goodness sake, I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N6T7nQT52
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4rXx0FUqk
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdP2xCZjBS
scared with me."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ62gc9b7ea
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3kra1YTpM
I took the panda in my 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxStMQQG5m
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKVjdySo6h
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPISwcsCXp
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik2L8saalz
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEisjysuDK
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sE1Y0eCeg
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1YVK7skOt
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxJ5z9tQqW
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuePJ2LbOA
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfucwt167OJ
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwHfB5Huhb
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiUvT6pEdb
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BVcrdQ26Y
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE87MqkJ0t
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QVJ3blhIn
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGhbl55YMT
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx6cZ3fXVg
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBqsVGWcNV
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsJA5hicVM
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJnkz48CK2
"Ya, I do."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXtSwG7yKC
While the four of us 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKv62yCREz
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb4jEkhJXz
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjxXk2dC8E
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkgniPiOWX
said:1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeqLIJgQCW
"Hey, Zoey." 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx6BqAIwJq
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsX8Emdv1t
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh516hyVRup
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkfwWoQp50
"It's good you came to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEfkjpaO13
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L0707ZmXn
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZDc16kmHQ
couch.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtC6bt5z1i
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNwkNe6mOl
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYRgEWIAIj
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV7oY8ZABZ
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucQug3s164
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Y7Qu8m77
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01xgHVMvPh
I tugged at my panda's 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YUCHaNGKu
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI7AXCJmIu
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp7LUSyKzs
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2AE32w4AQ
The Toxins came back to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8puWh2YKn
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm3UeOGIuU
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX7Vlf5sLe
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV07zeCGNOT
For a moment, no one 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDm7hItGiN
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHBATJZV8r
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYqa1GCGex
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV21C7pdUy
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bm8vGVkSe
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qk5tVuXCW
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Aw65fEP7X
I stared up at the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFPi9t9j8R
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCITs6KUn4W
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItkQsYCGjD
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZs9deQCKE
When Zoey tried to reach1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dxXhP15dQ
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1F82YIhed
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvNZA04qaB
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefAUTU1NSR
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt97i5MNW0y
Zoey looked hurt with 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCEc9BGS45
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI90CUdBLQ2
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj9Kw5oFlL
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaySE40esl
I didn't answer as I put1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ulOfXuQgg
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eeIQabKQo
was still mad, especially at Zoey.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IrRw1ayX5
"I know it's a little 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PSlPls6hB
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWDRLkbX1a
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUirkD5LGv
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqngPEkNzuN
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuDy5kAzFt
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqtkiLG3Ek
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSbMJlaE81
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SiJlFPXlt
"I don't like it when 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E6gd4zRWd
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPcWodHHef
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx6jqWo8eh
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmzmBkrzOQ
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhkar05IoN
sorry, Sam."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYIrlBijq5
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshaAWwT2gq
"I'm sorry too," said 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr9d8nS4J3
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVsRRTXTqo
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQcBOtTfM
for you to talk to us again."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GG7Pa0su6
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyXgtK6YRh
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrwJ1HUdEi
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxSzUQdaR0
leader."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOuRAZgsOV
I still didn't say a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lOJiPpItQ
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBlkVv0yjc
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEVXQNVYtk
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dP4qLNaRf
them despite the awful things they put me through.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsP3VzHOod
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp0G2wQkBe
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo94TByGJ6w
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM5xx8bkZ0
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnY8gNUVZS
"I'm mad and pretty much1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME7aGpVct7
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSPsMIThh8
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IbYRvt86x
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xAGYgK9QG
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUHDb0nnQK
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8oe3V2nX9
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ZeskunJO
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jjsm20Qiy
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzDMflD86Z
"Ah, you! Always acting 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRyq1S0jVS
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmumGM6eISh
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyEYxrci6A
catch it anyway."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkGOKbzUzl
Christine, Daniel and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cdbzoaNMO
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy2CCueLuR
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cbn6bU2BW
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3uh54X1vU
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKGwd7SaSn
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTBNCtyPVr
"Ya, I'm glad we did," I said, as I felt my nose twitch. "Can you guys please stop hugging me, I'm about to...."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK2Dq9tTHG
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMz3IsKbNu
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L2RUvXJFT
"Don't worry, you won't 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN19VH0Gqp5
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ymNJ74XQX
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1csSHNZqR
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0dNslzabL
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPITBMTtjKw
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZiE80Evps
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvfT2fUm9J
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj2TvDWHsc
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbWp19mv1T
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmnIusNJYn
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cUYDop3ND
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOE0V2oSj9
At that moment, I had 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sib1dfhcp
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOvBI4kFFY
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChMYrnIzsh
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZZ87oCxEw
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7BKYwpkwU
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBeTThw9Ai
Zoey got the box of 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ReoaRQmD
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvT2y0CIjw
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvadQWcoK5
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y7CTb8CD6
I was in the passage as I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kjI2qnqxB
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkPxPrtHpU
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgT3NP4ENn
in what felt like sadness.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1PzxwRhmJ
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ776s0U7jo8
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnekc023hrf
I heard his footsteps 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYCBgp4s59
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvtxH1dJrI
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLiVc6ymUS
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUyEvYukqg
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBz6tcwKxn
"Are we really do this right now?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFc2YDchkV
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM98Qci0NJ
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlp4xnyQmY
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj6KqgR1Yb
"Nope." 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbYYwEzdtU
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGKgevDa2U
My eyes almost felt like1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH7GTtGjHn
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAip6Vp9Db
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDECH4OM8j
I turned to look at him 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEvSMKh1ht
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38w0D2epPO
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgABJh6iUs0
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd395YBdwG
"That you're surrounded 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINgihJ7j51
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yGkk5pB1o
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWhzUCCuUV
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUPzirGKNx
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSE4VF9NRo
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFvg2tr2qg
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nl7s1jSXW
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf3UlQWZHu
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMyPrUtkcL
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZc5G65TQ9
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1JRAL3QLX
Apparently, I couldn't 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlUUz8okOt
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4bGR5Jmw5
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPeMCLPAJB
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK3F6Q9SYB
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGxwRjOTiH
death.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWmkWHRhqP
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYcLZic1Vs
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O2hNh20al
Taeyang folded his arms 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gwerP3SU4
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq7WaqcQtr
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MmF8ZfHXE
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa8GRIrY0I
"You're may think you're1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf2TXzZY2c
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnhJTJdHM6
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NN5ycCvrj
but feeling hurt."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zFa01ce7a
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lun8GAFMx
"But I wouldn't feel 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8cLdp48uF
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBLaFehGzS
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIxwCrwpUh
at Taeyang.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdDOw9ShbW
Taeyang gave me that 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIKeQBakYq
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGSo9yCDs5
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7SWDs38LJ
while in return, he nodded.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfp7KjkvYp
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoHMx4SJLl
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyVjx8f3FI
I didn't say a word as I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQO6Ehqlss
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9i7WomPgW
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZupM2ckhl
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoGkwujMAo
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FpICCD3yb
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmpTFz13f8
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIViRObjGCb
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDANkvZf55
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OEyqdwoOE
If there was ever a way I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxytWFbw7W3
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqAswO4Wt2
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIKBG9P6Q3
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov3ilKNw9E
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgCK983UUy
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSEEvW0DjM
When I came out, I still found Taeyang where I had left him and the two of us went to join the others entering the elevator.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZddtCdnVI
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZogPfNhpp
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwirYwz48Sw
"Well, I'm just asking,"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74pzz9uthl
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34JEgW9Yij
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8RnsYEf7A
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhKHtZWH5l
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoAxigSlbK
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzWEX63W6b
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EzIeP1GDY
I pressed the button 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzNvtDlfNF
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJUfhN4xDU
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsiILbLeNc
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLOd6WBq4R
We went to the main 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf5SbnXUmU
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeVayF4Ts9
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCDCywdUOz
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrZiiU8Yiw
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxtjipy9RZ
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9fBwMdqc1
"To be honest, we just 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQRinryvI6
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEx3aie9Tl
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZfDQO9s4d
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp4IIaInLT
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNnocsQMYt
We all got to the table and before I could pull out my chair, Taeyang pulled the chair out for me and I glady sat.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45DDabEDD7
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z9xjD80Ce
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUDYY2d6VN
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlfwihibBw
"Nah, I don't think so,"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmiOXGs9kT
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAiurwRS4K
he would be treating me like that."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHkzDRMcn4
"Mmm, I don't think so,"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX8adw1wWi
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61UTpHAivx
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SQX2fg4uW
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIP9IfbZDs
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nuWHE888l
"Then, stop trying to make one."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyCWu7azdO
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvA7RX15Cl
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtRu6uuRlf
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdejattu7bm
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6jz0V3wgI
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIqRJtcWXX
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYTaRBAl9x
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhcNLgS24h
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfjWyU71RV
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00KltxlVGx
I didn't even dare try 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zIbqKbI8B
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsULHfI4FvA
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfHVsmUH4Q
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn7XnAC029
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXJCvhKJYV
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFGbXm9y5H
I heard footsteps coming1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia2mTmKpnx
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGAdyf2ZCO
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwmieEPr7H
look at me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDYbxccKwU
"Are you okay?" he whispered.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sGHM2hDuv
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNNOya52Y7
I soon felt strong hands1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkSUEtorK6
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmujBmo0bz
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n2E3Ua4Si
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn0EkqhF01
"I'm a whole lot better,1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFnVS4UhcF
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3pq2sQSLr
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlxPUTvaMR
"Glad to hear that."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt8wKxAbWe
When TOP let go of my shoulders and walked away to take his seat next to Mike, I heard G-Dragon's voice behind me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygineCPPJR
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMyXIcy17Z
I was planning not to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnmc9w4PBS
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpx7waObFG
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJS2Jt17NJ
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nrcNn0hF2
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31UV26nT9A
under the bridge.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGq90WNqS0
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduydV1QMho
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0yplkEQAY
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UVQunKeNP
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSomoDtSHM
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpWJQFIjhR
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcsnqy7eJL
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTwGpYMqeH
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7iogz4ctc
The waiters soon came 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY9JZhtjIr
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEZ7tTEVej
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Oo0SOd48l
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqU8e75TDq
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSHjHMUAkA
For a moment, I felt 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5tmiSnRUS
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWQXBXgr7U
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz69xbIXKVG
me to forget that I was ever mad.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLZbCML6CZ
"Mmm, this is so 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc3w6xoTqw
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMeLjM58Uv
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWqNpp1HaM
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHulyrXVmuv
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbcohbW8Az
"Anything for you, Sam,"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZABeV5Q0SL
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74eH5XWnma
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61utoGstRG
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cQKJvEXGH
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7LpHAbxji
I had just taken in some1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPayt34YkKb
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVDUeXTiHn
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz409L85fqE
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrCASEr8Hk
just said.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjoRiikxvv
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQK3x2WSYR
"Well, ya," Christine 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj54K9x1LS5
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt2sEShodH
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1W7wNqVW0
special lunch to lighten your mood."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTCkrateCs
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNhehoRK92
"Thanks for the lunch, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1od33uqqj
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfM4tYXmhv
sweet of you to have come up with this."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWEjsk8YhD
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWIvY0u0WM
I almost felt like 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2whiTM9Ygl
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBXO1bhUmh
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2svxGS3mb
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0wYQxMwnH
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtSGDigpBy
turning into rage?1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sBmASR2P7
Oh, goodness. I needed 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE6Zdy2jHa
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgVJGqS8yq
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeflVHOWRSL
I tried to push aside 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaoEbMJcSt
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVrrQsboYq
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYBzwg4Hkl
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oyUKfFPPW
chocolate moussé.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRJFzNU30i
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGqzrk32Ul
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHRvlVG3SK
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBkNfiEBMZ
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hV2c7fGul
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DdJJgR7cs
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWLB4LholK
I didn't wait for 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rs0a9kF2w
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZQe96mitQ
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTdHFowhRH
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfV2EOqXYB
heaven.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfu7TWa6a6
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ejJu3FZS
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5mPQEtaBz
"I don't care," I said 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcmF06zjje
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIqGD4iv0V
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6rIH4Uv6c
G-Dragon smiled back at 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcjFoiEhz3
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvP9lZgmFc
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq5gdsx3hH
away.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulkf2QfO4Q
After dessert, we all 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5gRFN9bKF
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hsdJHMvwh
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWu0EZxeUf
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FbjfLVpA8
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4uxxhIsRj
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7gqr8gIe2
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsu4rVZAsn
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkS2d9r68u
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGaOnkwpzg
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuBzS4LDOd
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUy80n5O2F
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOzO4FHkqk
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbFC06Nopu
"What stuff?" TOP asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfP8IlZvTn
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc3z6r3swr
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUbWaFZ0p1
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O8bKeEagD
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqTBxgswxf
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05QG3vNi2u
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hv0ezeufi
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLsCsGqffS
"Wait, what's going on?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5xLC5T5vq
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QAAzlVrbB
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNeFQUfHwD
"I thought we should all1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fbIf2Tu4a
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG37gh86rZf
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmNKblnRXg
"But why do we have to put our heads together if there is you and G-Dragon who are better at song writing?" TOP asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGs0dG1MsG
"I don't know, I feel we1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQqcdZgB8e
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXkS2qun16
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYSaTnfo8t
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmyTmvA01o
"I don't get it though,"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwOBbWrbx8
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HtG6BizZt
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNpOnIQkM1
the lyrics?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsly31WAYV
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DJ6gxE5VV
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF4vz0HgHO
This time, I also raised1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmJbfWApMC
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnvx3E4vts
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzExKAnZxHu
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRUQ5maRco
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWVdvnB29w
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ5P4b5cuJ
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM8IaKzmoX
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSBXQ0Xidu
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jYKtziXVp
By the way G-Dragon 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT2NlwTgBl
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWmnDqgSey
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbP9gL9VqB
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EEZJI1N2k
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqireBE2Apl
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXJxuTI9MY
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvVGFlDCtP
"Maybe, it's because you're objecting to my idea and you just want to make up what would be a valid reason for it."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwaJ55PtvZ
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNckswUSdx1
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiL4L6i4Ra
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWOIwZj8Jf
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE61OC6ZyF
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFg0hvLkGJ
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYueUGCqLe
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrhJG3lW4W
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNZZEdTHc2
"What truth?" I asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptA3mqIF5D
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3jeWY1jgX
Taeyang was right. I was1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2hMAOfyS7
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZpeF5om6P
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a6N0lYyVV
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrwyn2kc7N
attention.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiXlHn1o8c
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYiBApwYmv
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ327aSjCFgM
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97fWsM9gVE
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofDVwCbSvE
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d1BPHypnS
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GJpCCjEJ5
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdVyeUPMEa
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgdwYHqGhb
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNNRzgFQ4E
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZl1EXND4R
"But I....." 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvembQkjHz
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jGVbkRkcV
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLcw1PzQwy
talked way too much, don't you think?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZZM7yhFdL
That felt like a slap in1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoewsCoYSJ
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaJ9936dMD
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbC66imuK4
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyHrJ5F4Jx
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXabuwfGQ0
about what I thought was best for the whole group?1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnx7tC2w2Z
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NVg6LOKxN
"That's fine with me," said Mike.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidxiCfWvYV
Everyone else agreed, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq5Ryaq6x4
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEvGNVSnc0
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawcKGIzgZV
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliOQRQAhQF
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutkKggA6w1
B, just in case.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW6eKrv9q7
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEubdUQ0iSE
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDsAQbpvSk
"Not now, Sam. We will 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk2Ng6jb7x
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtDzLxZmAF
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFQeqODPpu
gave me goosebumps.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN2TLiCgHI
"Way to go, Sam," said Zoey, as she also stood up from the table. "You just made him upset. I need to go calm him down."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLhfivWTMs
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8V0cggA1h
One by one everyone 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY9K6fEaCd
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0VXm3KrMT
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7krEMM74o
appropriate.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQzbJzMFyR
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFKw6nSQS6
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNgPmyX5Zr
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79XyELRaJF
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsZP075EOG
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeVeqWCiEf
"It's not that. I pissed1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ3kdK9Fhg
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EzKzZwpGg
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgcu9wkfGP
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyfT3MlkyP
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93FrkyZtFY
Taeyang placed his hand 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymsjj4k0Tc
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqPL11Wsg0
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifwKtBdaAb
I knew I had to hope for1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgJLOlixNM
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYiaggKfJL
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY8eAdQ8Iu
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSRvhvHvjK
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI2WtqFJ1l
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
