The water felt like a 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFLkJhKieQh
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmWbxskeC0w
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANACEylIJTcjA
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhgjRtBwPrj
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAs9UEs5qroA
breathe. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAEHv7JqyWbV
I pushed myself upwards 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjiuhTf8ZvR
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of1015Please respect copyright.PENANAk4OGJ5IiHK
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAISGxbnFJpE
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA95v10dPYxS
edge.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAPlrwR3ag9B
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAowaarQAV5X
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6JOKji31yD
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAsPScr57hSa
I looked ridiculously 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAftamxe6fcs
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 1015Please respect copyright.PENANABgUEDlAXLA
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA9QZQybZI7X
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjYecB4Wc6z
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfONdFp8Y57
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.1015Please respect copyright.PENANASjbDsFtjBe
I looked around me and 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQHJB8c12Cg
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANABia9BKmd8W
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ1b4OPxku
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7LK8t6HKaH
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAsz8PAzWms2
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAUiByE08luv
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFWK0t94A9n
I heard Zoey and the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYUMxOcgTDS
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on1015Please respect copyright.PENANAh94tdo8Sgk
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxpd3Okl2KG
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7JQ41Bs6DZ
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's1015Please respect copyright.PENANAutoZmYOXBN
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvBqFGjVX99
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzfzS6LHGHz
"I already told you, I'm1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmyKPz0KfKS
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I1015Please respect copyright.PENANAo1L8aqDT0F
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA1H7yYa4Rlw
from anyone.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxuhLpasvFp
I made my way towards GD1015Please respect copyright.PENANA9V3y5x26H2
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what1015Please respect copyright.PENANA9O1RAGVuIb
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAziu83VAMM7
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAwa8lfU3lWm
"Oh, man, Sam," said 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFzLqh1mIeg
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAdmWyBC2hO7
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAgB80J5oZAw
game. Hope you didn't mind."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzU1jI30o4l
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAChPNzBaAo
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuaCRSbSkXA
"I told you, our 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYGNAZ4aXsM
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAHz7Cho1QZp
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2YowkfBoc9
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYmsPochvwF
Daesung.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAY3h1KWsVmM
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAK1zNrZU0dd
I dialled Lee's number 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAeceU7GhuUg
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQReFq1mIYa
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANARRTLIU4FiF
They would know soon enough.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzqT5jIlPmb
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA4MMe2DRRUu
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAEydPp4eUYA
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJCLFZtexSr
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFFgMwVcE1G
"No, not yet. But you 1015Please respect copyright.PENANADXPUISmvhC
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbm5kwiBprQ
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKGEODj4PyO
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAyjMjE22Rmx
"Okay, I'll be waiting."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjpOCc4HsYJ
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAf3GLQ2oi5x
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAI84FnIAdKE
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfZFF3GhROJ
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWSma3ut4Ga
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAylxglzeYWq
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAsQJb6Bqqlt
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA42GJBfJQSg
I shook my head. I was 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zn2EowRcO
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAC3lIbBZIh
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAnlNDSuT1Yw
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxMs9ZgodIH
After walking a few feet1015Please respect copyright.PENANA9aFOKWqXfm
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAMyHFkPgdZq
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was1015Please respect copyright.PENANA1AXIKfWBM0
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1alTw5E7F
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA4xZ34ICmxR
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7QWpyA4Pq
None of them answered as1015Please respect copyright.PENANASUZTFHyNMI
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAsHlmPQ0QQx
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAU0VB1iuWoG
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuBsRyQA0ky
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAnNUXdqR1SC
"I wasn't going to say 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAU5PkhnJtO3
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing1015Please respect copyright.PENANASsOgfF4qZA
you would want to hear from me is advice."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAkaengrT19d
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANANvB4Z43kjJ
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAOVyguVFVic
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAsYNxvrnax
"I'm still upset, though."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAUoysDGqtPa
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAq6l8PgoDv4
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA1PzWeNKEh6
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuYbQFIf8iS
I gave TOP an assuring 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA5MZaDSEoI9
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYWy9dIRKWx
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2F6CgloVPe
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I1015Please respect copyright.PENANAgPoLBDm3bv
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't1015Please respect copyright.PENANA9g8BHZP3Jk
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAb2NfTJMbWJ
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYM7Lj7pLxa
We all found ourselves 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAX9Jilnt6iW
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins1015Please respect copyright.PENANA97AyW9Zv0c
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAVNnuiNLOFq
were waiting for me. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZLSfsX6EFQ
"Hey, Sam, you don't 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAle03D2QDtl
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAcFSugZLW3D
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAB9nsBJwotw
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKifegDpQBp
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 1015Please respect copyright.PENANARQNLNZlA7w
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANADG9l1WkoYX
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch1015Please respect copyright.PENANAa7TnG2CYT6
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAB3Ei4udPKE
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAgNnzVdGQ2k
I had my eyes closed 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAnwNQkkbhwh
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGM0iMtRMsA
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAK7mk03mrJX
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAIPBUGIpfl5
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbK5qjZA50s
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAPGnbmEedFU
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFVgK0vfhzy
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAIlEiTdQD9N
Taeyang led me to his 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAqiIIAt29pr
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 1015Please respect copyright.PENANABYFQiy95AC
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAofU35jFBPy
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzB8Ya5k6N0
In about thirty minutes,1015Please respect copyright.PENANAq6a8af6YoI
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjWXOEYP0Fv
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAoP6ZVsoDMK
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ2SvEDa22
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQN8Lf5353X
appeared out of the elevator.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAaHzyvm2JO7
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAaf2bmNXFWd
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWKfj7XCSJW
Lee who stood behind 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAwqVasUk0uh
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAiFi2a42twC
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAB78ngUBvEr
other things in mind.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAELMNVRCj6r
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAprqGsUDwQq
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWWPg1UwDrT
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAERMfQywIez
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z86wd0REq
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAS1pkphWOtz
"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."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzp4FBlM0cP
There was an awkward 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAOFM1ePZjZ5
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,1015Please respect copyright.PENANAIl5juaLGmi
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmhHY8bq1BC
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAwAQn50WHJX
"Well, I hear the press 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAUjEXq7kImP
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon1015Please respect copyright.PENANAC1QEu44KRK
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAVrsQ4Sc5qx
"That won't be 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAiXxUv4Uf06
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAIH8vqUi6QE
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to1015Please respect copyright.PENANAcnua0BnuFV
go to the press looking all wet."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAnvHLDcGaxh
I breathed out a sigh of1015Please respect copyright.PENANAwUJOW7PCFo
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAeMetobYPz
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAdKm1CdyQCr
"In the meantime, you go1015Please respect copyright.PENANAT38qdzU9KW
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAF7Tbo2CIoO
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjFwpVK1paZ
I nodded my head in 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmzVt9m2Wrb
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYG2Pl9Cijl
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6vNGIsRvf7
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA8fBGJLnXn3
"Alright," I said 1015Please respect copyright.PENANABZNytU1lqZ
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWciVx3pnJV
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like1015Please respect copyright.PENANANpP8vpmNtu
I was only making things worse.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAczRgRJKyEE
Before I turned to leave1015Please respect copyright.PENANAU3BAYnFmBw
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAnPJP4NZ9Zh
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAobyr3lwlV6
one.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAycNQKsq1VQ
***1015Please respect copyright.PENANAR5JgrPcmeG
I sat on the couch all 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKbkaLTAiiG
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued1015Please respect copyright.PENANA5HLR3FPOTx
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAMmOvIpOvxw
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAu2z8tCQKdY
I had a box of paper 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6rwOxMibT
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmCqOkLlJ2W
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAH2tpko11ZN
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7RPMxSMuW
I continued watching the1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2VQrMRGzSs
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWp5FISqwNf
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA8iTfleZTAL
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAozbCThdrpT
"Never better," I said, 1015Please respect copyright.PENANATVCC0m95Gi
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbVz5X2aoSJ
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAsOSrLW3knU
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA3RLHY23by5
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjZkVen1A6p
"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.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAqwcu3nRIza
"And the others?" 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAOKA5yN1nxz
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAX1i2D2j2lB
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.1015Please respect copyright.PENANApWhbHmn5CV
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAwwnnQddE66
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAnC0yJh6Cpb
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAMA8g7IWD45
"You don't know or you are?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAgZjMSo5MvX
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.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZKMVYaL6Pk
"I don't know, Tae," I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxZXPWIzDNt
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAp27X6j0POg
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA4x9SEn8ksX
forget all that happened yesterday."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAgxR1MGw47A
"Ya, I understand. They 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxBxgLgt9PV
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAoYezku4jFy
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were1015Please respect copyright.PENANAu0oPAi9zRr
going to get."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxDbgmQ19UV
I looked on at Taeyang 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA0P4RL4B6FS
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbHBWW7RRV4
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAkBB0iK3jpA
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAI9O68KRyEG
who was as tough as nails.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKwGijYRLJF
Last night, I took the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAlkg1GpiXjo
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 1015Please respect copyright.PENANADlSBLGSkRv
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 1015Please respect copyright.PENANADBgcPvypgh
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAOIGaKVAIcD
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANATqWjX1QeAw
Apparently, the managers1015Please respect copyright.PENANAird7pyVDmz
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAleFueIrza5
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought1015Please respect copyright.PENANAkkpwsfsVkV
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7VwJ47dLP5
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA0Sm2Vx2QF2
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvVlIFNUaNl
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAaEPpB97oRT
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA9QRfL0clOw
and the reporters.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAB3aJYgnVXI
After my confrontation 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAdVE3MXneeU
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I1015Please respect copyright.PENANAHxNjz6QKbR
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAmUElKEpKv
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.1015Please respect copyright.PENANADDxkYgPHSK
"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."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhk2OcvweJy
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA55knMItf1S
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAHjZGs1SIgp
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZBvpfEGxI5
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."1015Please respect copyright.PENANALBpDJ0oXIS
"Have you tried talking to GD?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAD5T9GKlL8Q
"To be honest, I haven't1015Please respect copyright.PENANAOv0fIAsSSp
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhhjZiuEYba
slap him in the face if I see him."1015Please respect copyright.PENANACnH8j1z43R
"I don't doubt that."1015Please respect copyright.PENANArXX7xv0mps
"And thank goodness my 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAHruq5C04wA
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA1zGeWMDpXn
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQBreNrroFI
want to do is watch some TV."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmxjo1Y5r4S
I quickly drank my 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAL6CJXQeOvU
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuviDGGnB2y
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhy0s5aXI2i
to.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAayTEYRnsGW
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGLbymrmN8i
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAll32vFAq7H
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAdUKuyNFi5k
"Nope."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfJbcsS6J3l
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.1015Please respect copyright.PENANABunZszq7JL
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAswwEN7X1Xy
Taeyang didn't say 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAoXA3U67iyy
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened1015Please respect copyright.PENANANlQLbEw0lp
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxMtZFnvzQT
"I know you fought or 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAgCr6arIpw7
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvr7wVwq5jm
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."1015Please respect copyright.PENANACGMn1J5yg3
I noticed Taeyang smile 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAcbk3oPp4pI
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAb1sbpgeBal
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAojmeUioBQO
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2TFzDeygyw
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAyWi2dhDkQv
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."1015Please respect copyright.PENANADYVAi6FB1F
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0dU6TsjME
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmNeGHdFYEd
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYoTD5qemfi
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."1015Please respect copyright.PENANArMYPxSfMOx
Before I could finish my1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzEgpGlYUV3
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 1015Please respect copyright.PENANADgWB1k1uSc
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA3C1N2Llu1X
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYTfZ070kRd
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmykDaDWuX1
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA97tKE3QHOE
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA9VgtIJTQWa
"Yep, cheers to that." 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAI1F6AzxoHa
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANALn8rZEG1Ad
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2mApE9Bp88
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfKAwqrrIvo
"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."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAa6j5Metvox
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZ513ZZXEgn
"Wow, that sounds personal."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAiKvfZsbdwZ
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAwjPH4VZaVl
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANA8NLaWccj55
"I think I've a better 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7si3ztiaVM
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAA8puydhVVz
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFTmMBZH6Jb
lyrics. It's better that way."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZJWdjO0V8X
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhM3fxrx6KO
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."1015Please respect copyright.PENANATxX60W1Ia5
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."1015Please respect copyright.PENANACOndjrLu1c
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJexr7VZG7e
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAoLjv7l4OXQ
"Haha, good point."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfKg7eOiL2H
Taeyang and I continued 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAcy8XtuzDZl
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7f3fXIWYd0
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA11WNIlS7WZ
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we1015Please respect copyright.PENANAalRhqGvW3B
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAwT5qlVi9Sq
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAqp8rM3glM0
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAx0iJTRREAO
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 1015Please respect copyright.PENANATOTdWfQr6v
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAO11KYlq6Tt
While the two of us were1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2Pk7pC7OHx
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfkvWOMa81Q
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAC0VzyRRBhr
I quickly went over to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAiFi7HUFhXA
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was1015Please respect copyright.PENANAu1fawfXa6p
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung1015Please respect copyright.PENANArDxZLJxRrZ
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could1015Please respect copyright.PENANA0LMrbMhw3n
come up and I put the receiver down.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAW5zyi5KSMt
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQuDwKOxgL8
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAops0uFx34O
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAnG1BlJ77Ge
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjkbTKs0vBk
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAUfBp6G2apl
"Eww, that pillow 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWNzoh7yDAk
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAPVKzdx1uxl
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWAxuxd8pkB
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAPqdV1Wkclg
A few seconds later, we 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAyzEcxXtp3l
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAIUNb8c2Zo4
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA8FE27eIWCC
holding a box of chocolates.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGNRMhulo5v
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.1015Please respect copyright.PENANACrRJiNc89l
"Ah, no, the panda is a 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAcVmlHTGNAF
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAv5Q0zLxnZ0
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANARsn2CzWNaA
same time.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAgYeClWhwdz
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6HlwQZJtaB
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAVE9lx7Qx9h
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAneXLqeG0pC
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAExeXPl6e54
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzzUTRFvaB9
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzUbAHL9Dls
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbdhfTC6Apz
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAVQyMIb2HAy
"For goodness sake, I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA5aPvVY9ncK
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAHHlDG9LOeT
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxW0e8bKQlk
scared with me."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZKLbS01lNa
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJ821pqabYc
I took the panda in my 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAtiKM18J4Cj
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbsTtnZLETs
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 1015Please respect copyright.PENANACm4vI0hr9u
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAce07UqChkk
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKCgCCFwaVE
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6N0bqQn2QQ
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbHkTg56EV7
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAsBLv7iyqFi
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA1NkMAOT8R4
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAqgXlx9PslU
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7W9FpNqHyQ
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAEb3EoszQcY
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6VvwFe0Vyb
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAyfAUNW4euS
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAMgCf6IeQla
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKpjN7fZJuE
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAXS2Mh1b4Ow
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAHY3VGeESVz
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7lkYmmivDk
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAH1OW58Wcfb
"Ya, I do."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAVzOsVyqkNT
While the four of us 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmMsS43k1g2
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAcLoSzzXlt1
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 1015Please respect copyright.PENANArT6QGuus7D
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmC6je8JQP7
said:1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzI519NBDBR
"Hey, Zoey." 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAk8yhkxXkcA
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZUR1i2tw3Q
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuMZtx459Cy
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAp2uFqEjezD
"It's good you came to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAUkvp1q4W0h
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAg7JHdQX2KA
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWIPBdJKyty
couch.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAX1CWLkSFtT
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQsFmCniP8W
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"1015Please respect copyright.PENANA4pCNektG2s
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAPjTxoGrKgp
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAo9d6SobNSb
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAevIAHChChn
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAVasMCTCNkP
I tugged at my panda's 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAckw4jmjxDz
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it1015Please respect copyright.PENANAU5PgnBw2q7
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking1015Please respect copyright.PENANARxn1OmwSS9
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFmnPoD5OgS
The Toxins came back to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfKhsQyZptd
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKE0zy3zSzg
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine1015Please respect copyright.PENANArrUjOQW3Uo
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGTnvgYLC3B
For a moment, no one 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAm2CnjSA7qu
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA0BKmRbtLlr
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA3vNxdmy52m
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6w3QIE7j1O
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhsqzZ6fpyB
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAT4OW8Ej5Kw
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAgUF4zHbPrn
I stared up at the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAozNfa4W7Rp
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAC3lmh17LY4
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAr8GSmXxk0Y
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbauBV58bG7
When Zoey tried to reach1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7bPPTYGOFD
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAcNDaA1Wms6
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.1015Please respect copyright.PENANArhXnDROfxq
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.1015Please respect copyright.PENANALBrmqVZXwz
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbGkbF14UC9
Zoey looked hurt with 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAn8P6iUdMZp
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhlIkD6uBDa
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAsvVBs3QbYV
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAtLksybmfyz
I didn't answer as I put1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6FaqTrV8ZC
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I1015Please respect copyright.PENANAL9n6uI1wN3
was still mad, especially at Zoey.1015Please respect copyright.PENANApa8BoAyerc
"I know it's a little 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA15YnF7nswa
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAtGZVXngVdQ
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 1015Please respect copyright.PENANArfZT13FmZ8
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAoFAjdf9xx1
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANARIhvshYJZC
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmfJRoiqyeb
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvhtq9Ozcdx
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7S4oUrW3pl
"I don't like it when 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ3REdrNf7
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhIr2NKF5Wm
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAiGOK9XaCEd
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfR5ibAI2Ty
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAJdGfkBMhp
sorry, Sam."1015Please respect copyright.PENANANqr0oxWkdU
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAUVLu5nK8wk
"I'm sorry too," said 1015Please respect copyright.PENANALl2N7RaFF9
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA5tKHGbGAhE
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA1bJdSja3w2
for you to talk to us again."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAc2ffpeoofo
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAw8cjC5W9K6
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGhaWGZgwSZ
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q6wCvAYMf
leader."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjN8Gg3eF0F
I still didn't say a 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6N79UF1kwd
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANANRh0od93Hj
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 1015Please respect copyright.PENANALmw2YGux9e
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lugkykt4z
them despite the awful things they put me through.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhiPTPDvlF5
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjX8f5qLoip
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2BpSeZBRWe
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmHxoPVshhF
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAPvfqmG1XHI
"I'm mad and pretty much1015Please respect copyright.PENANAyb8Bupf7na
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA9WzaBCdUhC
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7aCWDE2i5H
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6MOP1X4P6H
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAj1yKRbglxW
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGIe578icjh
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAXBQX9RxLJb
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA0pqDznWnzA
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAyX9gVLI0T2
"Ah, you! Always acting 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbVOpMKyX2u
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGOh7ZOZhCz
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxswDPl3KG1
catch it anyway."1015Please respect copyright.PENANALjPRSZVJRa
Christine, Daniel and 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAi5L6phPw7i
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAw2Sh7BNWOt
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAY0it68tCET
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA16oubV5aus
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2VFC0Q8Q6i
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAoVN8kHAzs9
"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...."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKxvZEPlxDQ
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFgWEZtkO4g
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFvoDhaP7Lo
"Don't worry, you won't 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjd3Xk9foNt
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 1015Please respect copyright.PENANACwyJFCR62W
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAXsZSMMlcf7
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA271b8MVzOH
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAVxJui0XTFQ
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAMkEzDolAKL
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7iO7lQsyCE
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZpH9wCFcWz
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAp7WBv8BOmd
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANATgJMObZzye
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAPkLOz3Gnuk
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAwWRkkPe53E
At that moment, I had 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxt7aXdqH3c
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAiz2OhvoLCx
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.1015Please respect copyright.PENANADqQPi3Fx6N
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAC3p6QZtrg4
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA0wLnNeMEv0
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZjIlwN9gSd
Zoey got the box of 1015Please respect copyright.PENANATCRRUKuTsc
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAwo7QIkYgV
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAovl3Hf4Jwa
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAg85Me8AQh2
I was in the passage as I1015Please respect copyright.PENANArccT2YLWe4
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA97q8VismQG
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed1015Please respect copyright.PENANAyiDU15C23k
in what felt like sadness.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ1SqJygDX
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJxSbqh6GXh
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAykIvoKnGS6
I heard his footsteps 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2CTnaH9ePI
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYYF55BMolQ
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAiCO2diOiuC
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAkUjZHoBbD4
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAih04Y1KwU7
"Are we really do this right now?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANA8MntcZ4cyL
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 1015Please respect copyright.PENANABwV8t5XgKU
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.1015Please respect copyright.PENANASOmIyTYuG6
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAa7GW9aPp4g
"Nope." 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAsqiVDZFvQX
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."1015Please respect copyright.PENANACRRrPzAJc7
My eyes almost felt like1015Please respect copyright.PENANAVuHbm5tzc2
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAIZgSxA0loL
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbHBMkhmcor
I turned to look at him 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYnHXu2XdNq
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAL31c1MOZhv
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA5zYh4xd8xw
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA26AFkHP7lN
"That you're surrounded 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAnL7FtImkUk
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZLaVpyIfeO
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfZLmeASs7B
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAcDa3tY5Ggz
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAXziGuggo3i
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAGmJiLpbo2
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANADx34TwA83P
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjEjeQcKX3Z
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dwoy1AtFq
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAy4eLw8rhhs
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuhHNnomSND
Apparently, I couldn't 1015Please respect copyright.PENANArHfgQkKId9
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmAA80iqPl4
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAtYXZq2SFyf
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQiERJoHvhW
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAVdX5T9TYfF
death.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhnhPXcnk16
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfmrAD5sUy7
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."1015Please respect copyright.PENANADYOw6j7yhL
Taeyang folded his arms 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAqcT98xO8qV
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ4ycMnPLc
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2rsi89jiS
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.1015Please respect copyright.PENANACpqZSoDu1R
"You're may think you're1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYdgesqtLg1
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ0ra3nmy8
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAuOpNGsjgh
but feeling hurt."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxfysM22kE9
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.1015Please respect copyright.PENANARyu1F6NNPk
"But I wouldn't feel 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAiqTgQ055vH
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAr0AVSwBU5X
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3jCr3vMAY
at Taeyang.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvwCOFo6j3r
Taeyang gave me that 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAqymvhbeDbC
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZmAsw6ptTh
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 1015Please respect copyright.PENANANWszod6OBu
while in return, he nodded.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAg5NqR2Z5YW
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAdtcHPdULWn
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAiFKYqqNeho
I didn't say a word as I1015Please respect copyright.PENANA4pBNWCDgfG
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my1015Please respect copyright.PENANANtxY5XspAb
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6e0SfHYMeG
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAwakghmy2ui
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZfdc6g5bhc
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfq4C1ZrsxM
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAeeihBz9Oyi
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAOpc1NQ5D7l
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJsCDqyba88
If there was ever a way I1015Please respect copyright.PENANAdiGm8xepAT
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAVEcP1HZ6W0
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAO8Xff4YEpP
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAPUhxvEl45Q
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA3SeHpXj0re
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAkKt9G5GjxI
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.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAgWYBGda6C1
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAv2JBbpmyci
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANATnCQpt8rqY
"Well, I'm just asking,"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGsnVqwbDER
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,1015Please respect copyright.PENANA9EhNvRSCDZ
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuDXTojR4cX
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.1015Please respect copyright.PENANASsMNdbuFWy
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA71IvQ9lbqO
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjSGawfV208
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAcVwabJcgu4
I pressed the button 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGeFOqxzuW2
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA9a8AVYuDB4
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAL9RopJbHSs
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.1015Please respect copyright.PENANArI8WTjSzac
We went to the main 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKTEmthbOGB
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for1015Please respect copyright.PENANAaYyd5uj9Ec
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAW7gYIM26iq
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA86eTR1iaqj
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAMmwa48fanI
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAq7qK07cEhZ
"To be honest, we just 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAPln4iGlS6K
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuEmVbWcvB1
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbWL2a2Kzts
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvRxJkdG3Rw
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.1015Please respect copyright.PENANATK9aqqJAbF
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.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbAdbUAFizJ
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGzRltCJ8pd
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2cOTZ3CwJu
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKGqd9huwRR
"Nah, I don't think so,"1015Please respect copyright.PENANA5ESzceZ5sB
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so1015Please respect copyright.PENANAgjv9riQYqv
he would be treating me like that."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAEBRcUfQs6X
"Mmm, I don't think so,"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJrZf1pjqOf
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 1015Please respect copyright.PENANALJnk8daP1P
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANANiyzZ4Q6oH
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZz7ozmvTy4
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.1015Please respect copyright.PENANASBNKXdlDmL
"Then, stop trying to make one."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAOCD1cCQH5d
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA622m9Jqq9t
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vf9ARr1xw
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA4P3gp6kbVY
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6TImvZChlg
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAh9nc2slBfY
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAV7A10Bt5wu
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6OHXacqeVp
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.1015Please respect copyright.PENANACdhkYNaYuI
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhAAdNcDJj6
I didn't even dare try 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAfw9ibwgMOl
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAw7BoXoj4pX
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWGdljgTJE4
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAUa8oIIwJbO
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAkEwpgt2PA3
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAoA3VsdQdcc
I heard footsteps coming1015Please respect copyright.PENANA472B1ENONe
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbcV3lT3mGO
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzXGZL2xGfY
look at me.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6LCDcFbQR
"Are you okay?" he whispered.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAaxIB5UqSAi
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.1015Please respect copyright.PENANARNTLW9grw7
I soon felt strong hands1015Please respect copyright.PENANApn78yRTgz6
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD1015Please respect copyright.PENANAX0ODxzyIQw
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAtoXNqPUzwX
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxBgOD3gcvy
"I'm a whole lot better,1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7GZapGi8aP
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAUc08ALP4tk
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjhwrrHV9TQ
"Glad to hear that."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxhDQQAxu5D
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.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvNZVnUrkg4
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."1015Please respect copyright.PENANARt7X4AphyM
I was planning not to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANApJmxIstqax
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 1015Please respect copyright.PENANARbvBMUsSW6
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAkEZm1bYcZY
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to1015Please respect copyright.PENANAymjA3va0Ag
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAeSVmBLkumm
under the bridge.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAM6iJuBSY7C
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFgn60OsQmm
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANACDG9JozEtM
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."1015Please respect copyright.PENANANBmMDhHPKd
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbAYv3wBNaX
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAsmOFVfUtgb
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA3hp9cXRymr
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANABfbsLPoyFw
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQJlnz4dO71
The waiters soon came 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmDFVRyfwtU
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGnO2xZzo07
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 1015Please respect copyright.PENANATcBACNYyId
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAdeKRxGtBQa
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.1015Please respect copyright.PENANACtfBnahmD8
For a moment, I felt 1015Please respect copyright.PENANANSotwOImkP
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAV4h29nG8JD
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQwt6QxEoip
me to forget that I was ever mad.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAf4grDigBzw
"Mmm, this is so 1015Please respect copyright.PENANArCHGce4QWG
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 1015Please respect copyright.PENANASAs3WZRMT7
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."1015Please respect copyright.PENANADYAmjduYhr
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAXDixW1XrNM
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAS0VVsDGv6E
"Anything for you, Sam,"1015Please respect copyright.PENANA81jCk4Qy34
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAlD3taQQO9b
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA93MTVWwKd7
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAnIRetMFths
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAv91rEeim6w
I had just taken in some1015Please respect copyright.PENANACLGbYEt2mS
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 1015Please respect copyright.PENANANvzNOE2OXC
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzF4YAhcPVi
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA1ThdR74qLK
just said.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzkqRPVIuYq
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGJt1CQa678
"Well, ya," Christine 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzqOnFue8XB
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 1015Please respect copyright.PENANABhVfquMp0S
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA74anGWTNWR
special lunch to lighten your mood."1015Please respect copyright.PENANApLAeNK0VTX
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAsOUS1tLdDq
"Thanks for the lunch, 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAP8Y0VlkmvQ
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjNt1o9VU7O
sweet of you to have come up with this."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAdkAY0OFoH1
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAqdHaFlUKih
I almost felt like 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAaAefu8AUby
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA3P6ZjuGczp
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare1015Please respect copyright.PENANAIkItDEhfeu
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAE2FArWYx8X
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhwWhNC1gvy
turning into rage?1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7tDsVs8uLm
Oh, goodness. I needed 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAMur0SRPzOk
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANArgjDEJHXLK
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 1015Please respect copyright.PENANADigHRsVeuK
I tried to push aside 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzNebyjmc5x
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJDocQhVg79
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 1015Please respect copyright.PENANALb6TNlsJsJ
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA3rZ1Puu3H6
chocolate moussé.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAy1bNCS9pnR
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,1015Please respect copyright.PENANANjIxiYwTyK
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0lJrnNNHj
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAV4hPA8IKwb
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA99gRR6MS74
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA1TiQSoMz5b
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAoJbBrVoLmv
I didn't wait for 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAlDkEJXMFsx
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I1015Please respect copyright.PENANA94IOEzis8t
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed1015Please respect copyright.PENANAiDS7xPQOZg
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAMPOI3mBYz4
heaven.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhGyb6O8opC
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjpxRDZ1kw8
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6vScQ5KlW6
"I don't care," I said 1015Please respect copyright.PENANALK7McsgfHh
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6boUREQBr4
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2RIIKzeBfG
G-Dragon smiled back at 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAMjo5J2VKGB
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA2hrrQgTcOW
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAxDTcGmBtKz
away.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAOEoftqAF3J
After dessert, we all 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA76hm9XB4W5
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuRMmlxN9Gd
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAece2vjXMsY
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAn6nqJ2DXaA
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAURUSWaMdsO
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuMoX58c5iw
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.1015Please respect copyright.PENANApGNr3GYZd4
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYFjmSnje8c
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6Nh44lzZrq
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."1015Please respect copyright.PENANALBjOsdqwNY
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAm1POb2qln
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAEVp1FbiizG
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYDjhbBKIvc
"What stuff?" TOP asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAaROlQs6zpJ
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAkJhCdrnti
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ04gvlOyh
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJBOsxi77hk
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAru8FOXPdV3
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvyXr7lCy55
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.1015Please respect copyright.PENANASxaeUIK0Z0
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQdnXzMmc2T
"Wait, what's going on?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAAf9Gv524rn
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGE8Jf42Nsf
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuTVv4ax8xX
"I thought we should all1015Please respect copyright.PENANAt0gtv3wJLy
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAglK8oVMjAS
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAGcHtjvgbIf
"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.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAqGgnCaaEpH
"I don't know, I feel we1015Please respect copyright.PENANAENMl2DiKjD
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAnV6dfulH9i
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out1015Please respect copyright.PENANAu1baJLGzxF
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAyQqnY2that
"I don't get it though,"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAwJMWLyO0cq
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJaHGM9YIyg
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write1015Please respect copyright.PENANAVMlWJLGHis
the lyrics?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAehQ68Uoiqf
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFYWqE5YHfo
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAlVzQWYFjGg
This time, I also raised1015Please respect copyright.PENANAqG3KPP5h8c
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWXJrqZMHar
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAwPwfalN3fw
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAutP8sosiyj
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAR6HG6R3FeH
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAG4rrZSUIgL
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAeWAoexm4FI
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKyD8qDVGn7
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANASCnwqhZZh7
By the way G-Dragon 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZyJ4zUayjY
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 1015Please respect copyright.PENANA12yOwsbThB
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And1015Please respect copyright.PENANA1I2f5jCEM2
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of1015Please respect copyright.PENANA27S81ffE5o
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAagrOXsro6N
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA7PdNvxycBN
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANA1koSColBsP
"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."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA0vH9a9n94F
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAuJOsG8k44R
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8RlGacvCQ
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAr5LzSEt38L
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAtzqtFZSREv
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAd4cLWZn8eu
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."1015Please respect copyright.PENANACailPGKyrK
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAQGzbYQ1tXn
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."1015Please respect copyright.PENANArjdLumQBw2
"What truth?" I asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANACEBzfBYpFM
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAhMzo1BdEl6
Taeyang was right. I was1015Please respect copyright.PENANABSmHNYS4Jw
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAgSTOVyVuLb
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAWNSBrE5hOP
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAalwazf78mL
attention.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAaso3iZQlEP
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA4baigzrKiJ
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA8cPOpkBS7z
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel1015Please respect copyright.PENANAklhP9GJzj1
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 1015Please respect copyright.PENANATxXCSbVWzr
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!1015Please respect copyright.PENANACzJS4Ddf2s
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKxvGndTt8m
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAStqwmzMA2l
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAJJdN8uC3uJ
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAh9IASr5CLM
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmSsI9n0GDw
"But I....." 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAICTewnTObO
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAclX1g9MxUB
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6ziD1M8daZ
talked way too much, don't you think?"1015Please respect copyright.PENANAp40oXfMVoh
That felt like a slap in1015Please respect copyright.PENANAKx0PPZ1nEs
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZu481XnSQ7
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAX69FvtNtz8
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAELcIWCSItF
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAu5rWgexOSO
about what I thought was best for the whole group?1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjrGa1YnUyP
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAzSmh3FAWp4
"That's fine with me," said Mike.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAA2Cb0TZ0bU
Everyone else agreed, 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAkqiw16xxKW
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAXmCI6D1Wwa
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAjlrgEvUosV
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAYxTnflhINi
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAreOEzmu6QM
B, just in case.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAEmgkRYpYSi
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ2xkGITYL
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA6NgDZ8EM8m
"Not now, Sam. We will 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAkZNahjaTaD
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAqRkeRReBal
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 1015Please respect copyright.PENANACgGoZl3IMg
gave me goosebumps.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAdvr74qEy7X
"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."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAM7K5dvZoDf
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 1015Please respect copyright.PENANASYzIzZBwBd
One by one everyone 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAtX4cqD9v6P
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 1015Please respect copyright.PENANACbX8fwnoKG
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem1015Please respect copyright.PENANAMiAqWx4els
appropriate.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvSRqfPewZn
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAbTZh3orZCy
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.1015Please respect copyright.PENANA07Mc4GnC7F
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.1015Please respect copyright.PENANATFDMWybE3Y
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvMo2jLBsmz
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."1015Please respect copyright.PENANA8lXoTcKrak
"It's not that. I pissed1015Please respect copyright.PENANAB4s5HEjdxX
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take1015Please respect copyright.PENANAZDnuV0mcT9
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAd4xv3Hb28R
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFOLrIHJMg2
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."1015Please respect copyright.PENANAFtXzKDj9Vt
Taeyang placed his hand 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAXs7wXaNM6B
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He1015Please respect copyright.PENANA3ScgIwrVzL
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.1015Please respect copyright.PENANAMmTsqM78pY
I knew I had to hope for1015Please respect copyright.PENANAV4emY3tUDf
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut1015Please respect copyright.PENANADahXEpZIUV
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvpY7fIFwuh
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAvFCCdLlMCK
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 1015Please respect copyright.PENANAkcJ0PSY614
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
