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.
