The water felt like a 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ODCbThKzO
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzoj3uj15V
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4XMXGMLgC
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuo2e3oeni
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVx68gP7zn
breathe. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp1ek0r9G9
I pushed myself upwards 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJbquUes8S
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtU4W3D58q
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknHkHriwnR
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWlY9hvMte
edge.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IbhvtNYGf
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrlG2v0aVR
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEBrapguS0
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSXORHAwi3
I looked ridiculously 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73X5bIBOi6
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkMg5ItHKw
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJDUSKbOPR
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNQo0PLDLu
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSASUNRNzh
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IkFaTG8qq
I looked around me and 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMHbw0c3OG
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WAJQ8EhFh
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajL1oFJDW5
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHfXrbHe2u
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaDRdpYIpQ
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmHXHg1HwG
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueydegOZ3Q
I heard Zoey and the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6lANzH79Z
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfisJnK5Td
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXCEwGjCJ6
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocVAQUUQD0
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSeVPGgDQr
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcddDNrNVvD
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LFeO9D0hT
"I already told you, I'm1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0AwwNSpMU
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrlRpJSKtc
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrJHjOKcTd
from anyone.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZDEAfuCaA
I made my way towards GD1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd6v6tIvNP
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu6fupXzxM
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTMMe984mD
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n2cmvnwcu
"Oh, man, Sam," said 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aIFqnFuGN
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYLmbx1saz
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdQbN4ToL9
game. Hope you didn't mind."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwrTBvQ1UT
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR7qKRnkkh
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ8qfJfvOQ
"I told you, our 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7flEOrgsM
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTBOO5eEYX
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFW69H9S5w
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EVX0qpKML
Daesung.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYUcqPVmR4
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl6XyxHtUA
I dialled Lee's number 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7uFBqezW1
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFZEoa5n30
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyXPBAI4uV
They would know soon enough.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV6opUhlY4
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgfbNrIjQO
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTHCZHoz3Q
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Zr3aA6Nf
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKsPEf47J6
"No, not yet. But you 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwsijnSiuz
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04DN9Nd7DW
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yusuHMkfx
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1lLCHzuM3
"Okay, I'll be waiting."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tzD18m0a4
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu16wx2HxEs
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ooLVlmgPG
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MvtW8J0Ey
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnUfHqieQs
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIHEdqRDWQ
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ675posvvub
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wvdFR1KTO
I shook my head. I was 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YNnzQ2T6w
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc2jraNP7Q
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WVHZJ2Hak
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcA22sF14c
After walking a few feet1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxNM3vim3m
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3cr4kyQVS
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO11WevoLCY
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gPqPTP6tx
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IvsK6ZkMT
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlmZE1oA8d
None of them answered as1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruWWAiBMOb
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsPtmOjBYQ
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07ALb5FRbw
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02jHesa3R2
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbparMXeBzh
"I wasn't going to say 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1h267vG4v
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7djMAQmX7
you would want to hear from me is advice."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7d9sG9tMw
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz9HgQ44Nn
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB06JEtbGPD
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQH9yZQO90
"I'm still upset, though."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDzjsnA6TB
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvtymHBbl5
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaopmzYx9s
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu3dp6qj1v
I gave TOP an assuring 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRvXJgYakw
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmpBdaSA7c
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaROyEl15tI
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCMSLr8WFD
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WGmduxXMo
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsYJe2c7Ij
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyJEIkxg6u
We all found ourselves 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJlwYIbOhX
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe1EUt8xij
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxoo4BjEB8
were waiting for me. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFf2eNR1Zu
"Hey, Sam, you don't 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRURoj4dApI
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4QXKB7lql
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4YdmOBYVN
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWDDdGIsD6
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokfdR6sCKO
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam9i3LklZ6
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSfUkDu8Tq
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86RhWVed1B
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkzFuo6wGE
I had my eyes closed 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYYUsjUDIl
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgEv3rQ8c7
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5ojSRGVh9
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJPgkdJCys
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG9m4gRh28
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicRn4U06jw
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxhgBzesKe
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv9pLM3KqK
Taeyang led me to his 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaawJK39cn9
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel26krV8xa
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ouk6Z55Bi
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSucakj1JX3
In about thirty minutes,1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5OLe1vwLS
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PLtoO6if2
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKHbvP3zaq
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVzQYbPqBT
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaSNupcyCu
appeared out of the elevator.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08cR2DJi2E
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbPKULSo13
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwLBIEEow1
Lee who stood behind 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41cYQK6i4G
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ7hn6LOOk
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZUusEpqbg
other things in mind.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEEXfOYMTg
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd3U0e1Tgv
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rDsPBfOt4
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDm4qwrQNE
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79bQAhci5Q
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ083Lg82YqW
"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."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4MoyGF31h
There was an awkward 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GMLq0rnE5
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHga2mDQPUn
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ELocfeRZm
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNj4fCJVQl
"Well, I hear the press 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlpCEN7HkE
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpALz1joU3
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKVVdWMWbk
"That won't be 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbV4GQmPZ3
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobU06AE9v3
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVku9dc69gd
go to the press looking all wet."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbZyRiFMut
I breathed out a sigh of1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nZbRIHaih
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kVhAS3pS6
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyuwVLN6BG
"In the meantime, you go1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCstO8wF4G
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv5FCJqJ8K
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwRIvqJE4j
I nodded my head in 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL74eZexto
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVXtp7fwS9
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO6Dr5CZX9
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdiv6TVlco
"Alright," I said 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FrCYBcYkK
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE98XQqwl4b
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP3u7er9w3
I was only making things worse.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30HjJkO0eC
Before I turned to leave1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYKJ0JmrFO
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgykoqWteI
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgMlD0Hkjs
one.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgesTecGat
***1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0jGwpeyH0
I sat on the couch all 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhcwhzVeIh
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYIsMJVWLu
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPnllant4V
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUqyWxJ7vz
I had a box of paper 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJNsz9nM3L
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwp3ePXIR1
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LdA1ZWIfR
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6XD5Qfph3
I continued watching the1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiSYzxqtHF
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflq6U1C6Re
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ZHlvcQOM
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP4DRzzNOH
"Never better," I said, 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V9gqoRwRd
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapazr1wZbq
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd62qD13FEa
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNdZZjc6PK
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuJyW1eapM
"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.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXzth1j9d2
"And the others?" 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtxhjMKAOo
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNTl0gsNey
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ2mCI8LzE
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5py9Yk9yyZ
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JnwoZLwCO
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHKGvTqPC0
"You don't know or you are?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrxKSgqqpt
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.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax0Z2YTbZx
"I don't know, Tae," I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKQVMyAEh6
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0zOSiYq5A
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuLUlZVK84
forget all that happened yesterday."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5CYEQ68Mr
"Ya, I understand. They 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgWnkC9l4B
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd7GJUKsPX
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMdrAKQgso
going to get."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKOYTLx3M1
I looked on at Taeyang 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tN3VUS2fo
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iQj8xz71B
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkjiiuJ8ol
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEl1XaQpgF
who was as tough as nails.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF95JdxpCM
Last night, I took the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH4sU2onuk
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv32qkiBAg
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroehY5pz7V
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL1vnV87pQ
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwtTF7l1Lp
Apparently, the managers1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O4IvY4yCl
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E7L8kD2Bl
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4c5QxdSFO
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jpHyNYS75
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfOJcDL4Fu
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxJ5EWiTtJ
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt49UNQyWe
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y93YbArdX
and the reporters.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr3UlPOOPF
After my confrontation 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS8nxe47lW
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbCEBPTrqq
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eiGGDmwMR
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QBcmPj9at
"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."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJNnxmaxJL
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuFsXcO1M5
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D3fWD59hC
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv1Uu0IoTN
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpe31poTEg
"Have you tried talking to GD?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCffJRgrCol
"To be honest, I haven't1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAcgVA7DCU
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Nwo5hgA5
slap him in the face if I see him."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngewDXyz6C
"I don't doubt that."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYckIWR7PHQ
"And thank goodness my 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0mydfcsUs
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ8dwmx3FP
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt12TnPoQVh
want to do is watch some TV."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5qCSoiC9Z
I quickly drank my 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzDYfKcRut
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqWU4UfPbo
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDKDRrnNZ2
to.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0wmoWfPuC
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpmkBu96te
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEvxNmLtls
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnnpfSnY5q
"Nope."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhS85Y1BoH
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zz75VMAKL
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2gy8oqYGU
Taeyang didn't say 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t3IE52YXe
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YQne6pdfe
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pyBoq3IXG
"I know you fought or 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNoVZJNMPD
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zLNtI5DNO
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdBadw2ijR
I noticed Taeyang smile 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmMuL7kplX
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoKCqgfCs6
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqzM1ic8Fz
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuesUezjJFk
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM4UYsFaER
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS2ZdyV5Bm
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw1914Hn1r
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnwY74NQYz
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAgQfTCDFx
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTtiLpo1tZ
Before I could finish my1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVXJiVSuib
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgK7n2DdKZ
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKazhXLZZN
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuu2RZTXDd
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2KWrlHmMB
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3G06xwvwT
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLe0tSsO2Q
"Yep, cheers to that." 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLhMGVIH1U
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Bm3ESiS9
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mHPqz8ddY
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenwST3VHb3
"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."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuDJH66clJ
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvf6aLcbB3
"Wow, that sounds personal."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIIgt9oc5l
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsEmtkhWHo
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4yNpAUHIw
"I think I've a better 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yEDwESWTj
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAQjYGJYQa
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeGN2LcLGq
lyrics. It's better that way."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDYeoyfv4k
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYD2g7Pini
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2tNCF6cvE
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVidWGw0Uv
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAIzUiRy3K
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0hCRxHiey
"Haha, good point."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqFELMRTTd
Taeyang and I continued 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKFXZrfHCh
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lnrxz9XmJ
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR67oeOkGuD
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0wnDKLAve
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZRBPhf0rJ
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYiNOHXKuQ
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TLUKgJtJy
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYVKaam9bI
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQPojpIXPL
While the two of us were1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ4q5nJfth
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1CWh5QQlD
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpJezDqZmb
I quickly went over to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdiHmWRlJU
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWpHghkrOF
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Pxa0n0aN
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8raTgUKNV
come up and I put the receiver down.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYj3CSgLCy
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUzZYOme3q
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh4HUJXBaM
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rYDLh4YZW
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPHOGpJkcH
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqQWepe51j
"Eww, that pillow 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DEX1kF6HM
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyybpAV8nSA
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb73AyS9j0Q
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJdZ5k8PLA
A few seconds later, we 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfacHvRUsGW
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdFVyXL3Tr
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeolBqruLP
holding a box of chocolates.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEcjwVJHv1
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuBr4Ng0J6
"Ah, no, the panda is a 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xz3senggd
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA18KdGhLAo
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda8B6hgJ8r
same time.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdOp5GndZK
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DUGmWPqLh
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYa6w9wA5d
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XZsbjOF56
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2k1bDLEet
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu8fAmiJFH
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c6m5NJ7Nv
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yiQhE6L9o
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT5Y6DYyDQ
"For goodness sake, I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnima4sAnd
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyUQGa3F6q
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhG5HjcE4M
scared with me."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YTWTSCKm9
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7df32f8uZ
I took the panda in my 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNj2W1w7DK
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPXSUpcKMa
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMEfKRwe6n
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbMzAkIit2
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFMvteDaeY
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDZKnyasNw
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EBkulpmBd
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lwhtHqA8P
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Keig3GNkn
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IiGbPonsp
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJEvoVJ4gR
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy51c2nfGK
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGXcB5ypDy
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINkp5MK0mB
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIVetTOKXH
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27hprYOl6O
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyAcxa1iGh
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7oQYB5las
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCkrjskPvE
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wFQvSeASH
"Ya, I do."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmrZakrG5F
While the four of us 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hp4vwNdlk
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2IgIvn1ls
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEqakcU1lg
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QZ6tdewsH
said:1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJrOmL2IC8
"Hey, Zoey." 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj0NgtMSiO
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbH81I2l1j
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwu7a6JDFk
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bn3v73oHB
"It's good you came to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W5WJMW741
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV33Gd9HK2
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeePMWkgoM4
couch.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaYbeVUejO
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZExTgxfOO9
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHiyfahm9E
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtMippgxQV
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cBHPr3GlF
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciciYy3Ff5
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKinfzDPqev
I tugged at my panda's 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVpfS4y5w2
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCCwRKTmod
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqVfHAd84t
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVg4Qe5nyK
The Toxins came back to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1A3uK2HiQ
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2eHEzDIRd
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCtaKOaVfa
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxKxeALqlG
For a moment, no one 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqsomDWqzY
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYskfu0VkFf
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizBCe4cfES
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxaL8WJFQL
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BIOXYeWl4
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94nmzdbtTf
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeHD9SLo0f
I stared up at the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhBmHzYTNZ
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQbONi4xS7
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfNerJDHkX
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD7333hlO8
When Zoey tried to reach1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaZ8HJ841b
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYVS2kB21A
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CaSN0mmeG
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDjsugtB1f
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN1O9uBa4U
Zoey looked hurt with 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL5WXkAuyX
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWtXdcOUPh
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z656pg6qU
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTUA0ijMRE
I didn't answer as I put1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnWxRccgOp
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxm9KWlnOg
was still mad, especially at Zoey.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeIcnX2HdJ
"I know it's a little 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp82UYJAzXq
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCERnQWfpw
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJydQjEpgzm
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmcjuhmBKA
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRde2sh3Z3L
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lyBQ9WAW5
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdSMYNtbK1
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2njv5whok
"I don't like it when 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVajnhSUtU
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoZ71m9lzi
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHThB9vhyVN
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW82vSuMQPz
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtxsMX2TQW
sorry, Sam."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEAr39P9iY
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk4XpvYZtW
"I'm sorry too," said 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqcfT0Rwz6
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62VKLixsaN
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPPC2nJrge
for you to talk to us again."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFc8L56cfF
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD5LWFQeAi
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM03FQhtVL
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Otw8SJO8
leader."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7KRNE4x4k
I still didn't say a 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hEzr4AM4F
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd0rxuHLaI
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwVNep0Oci
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjG2r5DAXq
them despite the awful things they put me through.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsmWIExgBW
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCHGPxAWVf
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA5iWSucr6
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgM7BfVFaK
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEnXVBS7kr
"I'm mad and pretty much1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCrBkuWwGd
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcBDuNA9FH
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCfQgjCnlx
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb3LGIWqmg
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Ajxp7SWT
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zxezz8tXi
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfAGKPJmNS
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn30Dm3SEYL
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQez7ekU6MQ
"Ah, you! Always acting 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBCeb9RMRO
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb8bWul2Q4
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurZzbIKiyp
catch it anyway."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW62m4ZFlk
Christine, Daniel and 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vdfos2Ji9
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJV1OQTW0B
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfXQkbgWuR
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJmTaxnnl4
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll6ZUimqDQ
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM77heKIin
"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...."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqPXqcGQsw
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMekXw1czJ
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwGbIoDt0U
"Don't worry, you won't 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaNwIadzA5
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOytDKiK2UP
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRfnbvuiaZ
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqD0QHpToT
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M6pBctk8U
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDypgJkWAG
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS041WhbQcT
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqa7ojyh5o
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc52bUpy4qU
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbCoFKbDKu
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CsRLbKvwk
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso9NOxm23y
At that moment, I had 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6SYm2MMim
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwexUL1BdC6
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lk1bIDarS
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyUSElrBbS
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsV7EDzfNF
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLhu9F6h8h
Zoey got the box of 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74NgBu2iyW
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3YvdumJXB
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8wj3DkwqA
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpQWeDGK3z
I was in the passage as I1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg1e1JlzZZ
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOI9kv5GzE
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDJdyM7hOK
in what felt like sadness.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnWj0feSu8
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQGZ7PDeMf
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWZtUBLxxd
I heard his footsteps 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQERLH9yAyL
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmgbToQbAX
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsiLqvRsx7
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq8KblWRTP
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAWUvnGF9P
"Are we really do this right now?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTWxZudbs3
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4miDFtaCYo
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyvCOldjKf
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TiOIrLygz
"Nope." 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNpSDuCGmz
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXsqseGVmT
My eyes almost felt like1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTLecksy7G
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7TQvsCrjT
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH8eVCyKfv
I turned to look at him 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TUTIrfMtU
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j5chLBAqs
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPozR9SZ0r
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JqcvQoh5L
"That you're surrounded 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8bT59rAcJ
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAt3To0Urp
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxwxOJZMEo
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP03rOut9c5
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVTnKKopug
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkHJmKaX76
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVDa7VAelQ
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvLoNKL1Fy
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRwxmEXlGo
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g7kbKpqxK
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFUKGA2tRe
Apparently, I couldn't 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cNXIhlrpC
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLEmkIKBiW
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroufXY32cK
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgadu8Rycao
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWuD42N4E5
death.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELowQ1OoEG
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJTHVRk6SP
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoVpa4xy0f
Taeyang folded his arms 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGxVv9wm4W
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGz03watep
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZOZOCppAS
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjmWCLYTkV
"You're may think you're1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCQr0yioE8
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9E5TiNVCs
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TByfobkx4
but feeling hurt."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlgV4ALs0t
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9g2QUiMzJ
"But I wouldn't feel 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0awFg6BQI
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCjlzaDLoF
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK56O6fs2S
at Taeyang.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YM548mRNB
Taeyang gave me that 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR3IzVL0Hn
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L2fgtuA4D
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1KEuyMOWi
while in return, he nodded.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5r1MONms8
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9B7CKWUGE
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTb3IXUWiu
I didn't say a word as I1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU19QJxSoA4
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBJ6EeIbuL
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomyYrHVwWb
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC70TySHUj
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXXoBY2fVt
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu9MxRLKQ4
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHksCfrH14
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssR1ToqUB8
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysMHfjO4xk
If there was ever a way I1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q9ABFbvNh
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnbjGFtoC3
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDoPaoTFP5
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuHnNpJMsy
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAsWt6qvy5
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jvtoDHVHN
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.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6mrUWw5vF
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU7TyFKfYT
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDZTrnU3FS
"Well, I'm just asking,"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6eV22TNk6
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7UY38ZclS
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMsehEMYlY
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ivggh31M3
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdHyAqDPWV
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AvjTcaJan
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFspKsoRfyD
I pressed the button 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrgyplNkrP
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7ms3Z9p9u
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBW6ZBCB6I
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSWLTWx7iP
We went to the main 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY57J7eHUs8
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp8SI9BIC4
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBFDWnaVkk
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbRDYpwdbQ
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPdFLQOG7y
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtq3kqKp8h
"To be honest, we just 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod0UhvHKb5
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fSjSOvSii
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIjDmKiHNz
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHjDFMWk32
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6xIo1zi18
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.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpZ7ja1tBe
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipRI7TzLFQ
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt7tiC0f4T
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNspIT3dqHb
"Nah, I don't think so,"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgyKnuZUMm
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjpFL87mKK
he would be treating me like that."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX2Wj4etSn
"Mmm, I don't think so,"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVWvwShN5E
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lwe2tb4DB
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmx2tqMnXi
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wUiUgq6oh
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg146jrVhTZ
"Then, stop trying to make one."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpJf2PGGLL
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaZPl4oulh
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMvH7qeWqr
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo809jidQ0X
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSSBvBRK5r
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciVOAMGlXU
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUivhzvP4g
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ai27Ksqo1
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtoa1MK2LS
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ804dW8bIJq
I didn't even dare try 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4nu64PA6W
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ9wrQZ4Q2
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HKoCVGEIS
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0lGN1AhKp
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGd8OBNupb
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcqLL7dOyi
I heard footsteps coming1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEivilDI10P
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjCItblNon
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDgPNoSjpQ
look at me.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAUwaPvFqv
"Are you okay?" he whispered.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNI0qshRLc
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53GH2Gg8gs
I soon felt strong hands1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaxbet9gfX
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnsOsGVUxF
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeH3pWEjFO
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9lMoEbMNF
"I'm a whole lot better,1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5s6LW0OGJ
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKWmrVJtPk
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJneNAwoEv
"Glad to hear that."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJg0t6MAmp
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.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfH4I8dAp3
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aHsZdkI6O
I was planning not to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg8ctNlkLV
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe4fniP9Af
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn0VgMdPyv
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJJScyRiaK
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ucaEI1qU
under the bridge.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2VnRMeLOf
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV78KDbYr5
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNaog4Q1EX
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLeWe5RraW
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0nikWELI9
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u15Sjq2BV
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN4Bs0BdEP
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9VWfPfd9j
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qplMeV7TN
The waiters soon came 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ULzS11i5f
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyUxcCLOo7
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4IU9G2O82
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ilZtHtNpV
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T8MS3dBiy
For a moment, I felt 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH50dFhL5v
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlByxHS0g49
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWgg8CMpHN
me to forget that I was ever mad.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmZpVp9pSe
"Mmm, this is so 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpErB6pNrY
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMcIp5jHsI
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpiswn1va5
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BbVcLlykL
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GRFy9DOYc
"Anything for you, Sam,"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUlt6PwE5k
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT7Rz30B5D
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3jhW7Skf5
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0hwlzFNmZ
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuN9i4yfEB
I had just taken in some1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAFYKzafrS
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47bVOFvyBj
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4Nii3azbR
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryqFaSPuMX
just said.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g300c3I4m
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti2b8Rk8w2
"Well, ya," Christine 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbieD3XIWw
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DTiEioM8v
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4YiNMg149
special lunch to lighten your mood."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uf4XwKtuj
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxBmRNZR5b
"Thanks for the lunch, 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rWNpX1NMG
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW47UPQY9Z
sweet of you to have come up with this."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh3esng4Mj
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Rh0qTZrd
I almost felt like 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mmyGuagdJ
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEN5wuCKgA
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QqDLFWiu3
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzizSvCKGQ9
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6xfkgZfcS
turning into rage?1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQQIu3YJrN
Oh, goodness. I needed 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OCcbKN8cz
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w60vjN0NW
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaLlXGpZYM
I tried to push aside 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYswNy3MzOg
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13KOiQSJhe
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7oIltcLze
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGI0mG0lDY
chocolate moussé.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbORl49FCZi
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDtZkQOVqm
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHIxyZyEII
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGXm0AiZ6K
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolf0fyMFwc
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWhsrjER0C
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi9NtEYE8o
I didn't wait for 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboBIpjjSsG
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb16zAP1fBr
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCvDAYCToq
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP9BPVc4iJ
heaven.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO7cJYWQDs
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA9KpY1BeD
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2rT95LLDK
"I don't care," I said 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHfPPxjHWw
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA50Hk6OFV
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6BG5vaBMr
G-Dragon smiled back at 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YbTrbwdtR
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLweq0OqEFK
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeQcXKe3DL
away.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz61vT6y7HK
After dessert, we all 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc6NewQTDI
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBuJ6cOGO8
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftKRMOheJS
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqDv4krsDz
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuJmmMiejN
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOkptbTFgF
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM60JY8yJF
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiNNV7jOoq
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh28KshfCic
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEqcCzoC9J
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwAEGFEg3R
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19jg9Tf9Fb
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24zTv2wjVl
"What stuff?" TOP asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq89kw5Cq6T
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHBSzlOOGm
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCT6anFKNu
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSmntcTkhW
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT5WszfIED
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2jwNTQfLL
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyH4R5Q5tG
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ205c5CZYyp
"Wait, what's going on?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dHTTuycHT
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwonz1Jbz79
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AD42v98SS
"I thought we should all1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW3oHu3Qen
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs4u6bIltU
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i1BiBNhRs
"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.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFmkTP0a2Q
"I don't know, I feel we1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbppLqElpG
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPGOGhNVan
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF70dH0wlbE
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK8TUKJ1W2
"I don't get it though,"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXTuClvN6B
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgaW6gvowl
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuQB7sjS6a
the lyrics?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoJ6whupsO
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsGgHoMEM4
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tl5AVveDx
This time, I also raised1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof6DF2Ux4L
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9ur3zjCBb
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpdRKOZdvM
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy18fKmCcc
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiStUaaD6jL
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFw9pJ5REx
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh34T5VwE5u
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cCH437HrK
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCQPcoyWjE
By the way G-Dragon 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjPOOTfFsn
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk8x45SpCK
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWObm8e2shv
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ780wZL7Uz3
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCS4Zohaim
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxYeQdzaCu
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLz9H6Twh5
"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."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq3AOmqfkg
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIRmN2VBDe
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIw2kDEcRb
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l1JdJQDJ2
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlr9yHjvAF
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9XfkGm6IU
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXLRV027Fp
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTBkct9UFY
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmdp1bmpuI
"What truth?" I asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFuuNAtVMP
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2yKr6fsok
Taeyang was right. I was1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRFz6BWrSB
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF9YD7fscK
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwTzqkateu
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxOQhgRKn3
attention.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YhCKlW5Gq
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP7Yk2xIl7
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX9OIOAIyI
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrLIacRNzc
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrTJSefjZM
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvDsAFgXMq
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO21PdFadz1
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E66uOrPZZ
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3N3y1OIvA
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DqZeJpaIJ
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZTfisFgSH
"But I....." 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe6N3Gt5wm
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPAwH2IRBA
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchVLeGjfqD
talked way too much, don't you think?"1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HM91d9TZp
That felt like a slap in1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS29xaMygf
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiY5SG3Zet
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde04M792oi
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI8hHBDAl5
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9881hMtxz9
about what I thought was best for the whole group?1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZULMnm9aBB
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZaVTTdiCv
"That's fine with me," said Mike.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe5ZIwKAZn
Everyone else agreed, 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisiRNSZDDL
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNMmg9j8Zs
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIyImaUtac
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNUyds2sRn
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBjPWXAtyE
B, just in case.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtI40pIwOv
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy5IXbgXSO
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfi6jSHK8n
"Not now, Sam. We will 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT651r3PWb1
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fJNLmxuaM
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPxPxQwkAo
gave me goosebumps.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp0pvf8Jki
"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."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSh9h2Llky
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATYfB6eulJ
One by one everyone 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZFLfXtwkJ
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpZQatnZjC
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKHHWgz19g
appropriate.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdQC6tIOC5
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgIDBt3kFl
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2PHcB1kDR
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTzqSiH8vy
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY29V3KwqqZ
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEIrkHp2YH
"It's not that. I pissed1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4sKrdikfr
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYu0n9ow6d
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdMPNrTYYB
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRanNHjRi7F
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7lxMonslb
Taeyang placed his hand 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcu6yy16N4
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8p6yhDayS
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN8zJ0LVW8
I knew I had to hope for1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R1YCxEDHb
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPta29VyaeR
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwt4GkZSFi
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTEiokY6PU
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 1016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy4JXIjDTI
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
