The water felt like a 943Please respect copyright.PENANASSjC6NeI4R
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 943Please respect copyright.PENANA7uEwXxPdtG
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAstkCilvWrP
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 943Please respect copyright.PENANA37TnwOGG3Z
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAI106xJOMWo
breathe. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUkzCeMdUKH
I pushed myself upwards 943Please respect copyright.PENANAM9TLzwLI19
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of943Please respect copyright.PENANAhLPinNZrJe
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAI5wSJCUSeT
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 943Please respect copyright.PENANA4CWNTFPETI
edge.943Please respect copyright.PENANAYi7mryffBh
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdbt6RZVPt7
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.943Please respect copyright.PENANACfPNY36KVh
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVskyDoQgRV
I looked ridiculously 943Please respect copyright.PENANAG8utea6Ge5
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 943Please respect copyright.PENANA7GPjzi6DLt
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 943Please respect copyright.PENANA7PF88aI5eb
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 943Please respect copyright.PENANA7aEJ4w7bSf
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 943Please respect copyright.PENANAm6jLvDk8CS
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.943Please respect copyright.PENANAgjGkW3UMV0
I looked around me and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAmfZ1tcpBS0
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAyfCOBrXIxG
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 943Please respect copyright.PENANAacqRFsH4LX
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 943Please respect copyright.PENANAVvKTmrC067
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.943Please respect copyright.PENANAsuCbJqDRGt
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."943Please respect copyright.PENANAHSdRmxojUo
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."943Please respect copyright.PENANAp03yk6hidb
I heard Zoey and the 943Please respect copyright.PENANALb7ylijwFa
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on943Please respect copyright.PENANAS2pRcsT5H5
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.943Please respect copyright.PENANATL88VncdXc
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAiPwuArEo5w
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's943Please respect copyright.PENANA1dDfzwJDu9
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 943Please respect copyright.PENANA55sYqfliex
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."943Please respect copyright.PENANANQkMOCsYKW
"I already told you, I'm943Please respect copyright.PENANAyugyDSejtH
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I943Please respect copyright.PENANAccr1OOc9Nx
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWAUR4tHwvW
from anyone.943Please respect copyright.PENANARRIn16JMRZ
I made my way towards GD943Please respect copyright.PENANAJpU5W0r0wQ
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what943Please respect copyright.PENANAmqmGMlDs2v
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 943Please respect copyright.PENANADGQgWYJ8vb
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.943Please respect copyright.PENANA6YxDJdaP9H
"Oh, man, Sam," said 943Please respect copyright.PENANAEEu8g14teS
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbBQpPOTLRl
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 943Please respect copyright.PENANA6KdleQPqfl
game. Hope you didn't mind."943Please respect copyright.PENANAeWV5rRARbl
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."943Please respect copyright.PENANAJulUt4ay94
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."943Please respect copyright.PENANA8GMr7yjl3i
"I told you, our 943Please respect copyright.PENANAZj3fXvMusE
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 943Please respect copyright.PENANASs7UwG9WVV
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 943Please respect copyright.PENANAiobZZBjdvM
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 943Please respect copyright.PENANARcUboHj7yZ
Daesung.943Please respect copyright.PENANATNctc6Gz7U
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAKaNXjTspSn
I dialled Lee's number 943Please respect copyright.PENANA04yw3KWStt
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 943Please respect copyright.PENANAOmw1QG2WnM
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAZ39GBRYHPJ
They would know soon enough.943Please respect copyright.PENANAgYF3Ww1MIj
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.943Please respect copyright.PENANANk73FF8NhN
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.943Please respect copyright.PENANAFNoCFzRxTl
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAf3wwGPbvfp
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAzfYBvsHAl0
"No, not yet. But you 943Please respect copyright.PENANA2p8wDRyCtP
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And943Please respect copyright.PENANAG1JUmcHUU8
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."943Please respect copyright.PENANAg4jLWiWsBQ
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."943Please respect copyright.PENANAw8NVEXnkp1
"Okay, I'll be waiting."943Please respect copyright.PENANAYQhU3YfoS1
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.943Please respect copyright.PENANADXAOmR8o9x
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA4SJ8xvXP8B
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."943Please respect copyright.PENANAhdAfhwFYwB
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAylUBa2h9Dd
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."943Please respect copyright.PENANAlXxQ4hjo5d
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAsg2HtEC8VG
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."943Please respect copyright.PENANA3WG7WNny1f
I shook my head. I was 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMsSguxthy6
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 943Please respect copyright.PENANAG8Yflg0hDf
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 943Please respect copyright.PENANAfbPo9CXnog
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.943Please respect copyright.PENANASRs51mv93D
After walking a few feet943Please respect copyright.PENANAAcwgttd0HF
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvGdKeFm0Qt
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was943Please respect copyright.PENANA4bmcyXHOxm
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 943Please respect copyright.PENANAIa0b4XiIs8
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.943Please respect copyright.PENANA23tXZSSZ4Q
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAGLbbgMlXli
None of them answered as943Please respect copyright.PENANA7F95yr7ICF
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAHzTgx8ngTX
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 943Please respect copyright.PENANAzRFB9SirIi
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAetKGHkhOgo
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.943Please respect copyright.PENANAadXSNUtvvv
"I wasn't going to say 943Please respect copyright.PENANAtcIcEWAbTx
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing943Please respect copyright.PENANAIW6JeRiLBT
you would want to hear from me is advice."943Please respect copyright.PENANAmCeD6l0ZoH
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 943Please respect copyright.PENANA9UGJOkCo5I
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.943Please respect copyright.PENANA4lCp0l3gFb
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."943Please respect copyright.PENANADYbzTQJlJN
"I'm still upset, though."943Please respect copyright.PENANArzfosOQXdO
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."943Please respect copyright.PENANAtrBkGGm7T8
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."943Please respect copyright.PENANAXSFhRu8zoM
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."943Please respect copyright.PENANAe9GHTu4J6j
I gave TOP an assuring 943Please respect copyright.PENANAVH6dBrdSkw
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way943Please respect copyright.PENANAO17Hv832pb
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUHAOEyiVbK
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I943Please respect copyright.PENANABCEBEdNAtT
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't943Please respect copyright.PENANAlEBjCfn1VC
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 943Please respect copyright.PENANAi0dlCWGfDd
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.943Please respect copyright.PENANAkAMidxZP7z
We all found ourselves 943Please respect copyright.PENANADVulpKNJ3l
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins943Please respect copyright.PENANAMrJtwUkXz3
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 943Please respect copyright.PENANAVrOos2tz9T
were waiting for me. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMYMarv5h2z
"Hey, Sam, you don't 943Please respect copyright.PENANAB5OHfc3ela
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 943Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8f1rouocj
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.943Please respect copyright.PENANA1f8wTWXmQ1
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."943Please respect copyright.PENANArpRRJSgnVh
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 943Please respect copyright.PENANA592E277tY9
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAsvDbpCZQmN
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch943Please respect copyright.PENANA3xInY6BQPi
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAPcHUWoJFzl
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.943Please respect copyright.PENANA6D8t0Z11oE
I had my eyes closed 943Please respect copyright.PENANAfMgjGOoxJM
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found943Please respect copyright.PENANA9s8bp2UJmM
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAbgA2LcZNjr
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."943Please respect copyright.PENANA3qmLL3Mwta
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.943Please respect copyright.PENANADvdOFnq8Iq
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."943Please respect copyright.PENANAkG4aBxSIO9
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."943Please respect copyright.PENANAQj7EOheAzn
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."943Please respect copyright.PENANAABzxY4jKBR
Taeyang led me to his 943Please respect copyright.PENANAFK46YQVz4p
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 943Please respect copyright.PENANAnuJf73rKmS
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 943Please respect copyright.PENANAXQDORvIIwZ
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.943Please respect copyright.PENANAHACIbLcVf5
In about thirty minutes,943Please respect copyright.PENANAghLPYg9tnE
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 943Please respect copyright.PENANAhuNxRBjWdR
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAq7Aq45v52M
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 943Please respect copyright.PENANAxG38VutF47
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 943Please respect copyright.PENANAPRviiocfsU
appeared out of the elevator.943Please respect copyright.PENANARToGOmvwtj
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"943Please respect copyright.PENANARCIPywe8cE
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.943Please respect copyright.PENANAAa5ELGMSgT
Lee who stood behind 943Please respect copyright.PENANAjXfzXN3xfs
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 943Please respect copyright.PENANAOLyEeGHBGC
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 943Please respect copyright.PENANAx7xVbRl1vM
other things in mind.943Please respect copyright.PENANACblCAJJRHg
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"943Please respect copyright.PENANApK6lAuISbF
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 943Please respect copyright.PENANALvHBsj30uW
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 943Please respect copyright.PENANAZtXzM9s9Y8
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.943Please respect copyright.PENANAvVgZyZubWy
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANARqF5zZeYDH
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAxOUAggxt3R
There was an awkward 943Please respect copyright.PENANAgsxCU7Vsta
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,943Please respect copyright.PENANAESEhJFRJ9K
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.943Please respect copyright.PENANAo0910VynMR
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAF27MFKMyzK
"Well, I hear the press 943Please respect copyright.PENANAfHEkfy0UCs
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon943Please respect copyright.PENANAoHF1kQCJ8m
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."943Please respect copyright.PENANAGUYwjjgO8H
"That won't be 943Please respect copyright.PENANAOdpeH56QPN
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 943Please respect copyright.PENANAny6xfp0nur
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to943Please respect copyright.PENANADRem5tCNCS
go to the press looking all wet."943Please respect copyright.PENANAX5BI3N7Zub
I breathed out a sigh of943Please respect copyright.PENANAg6A6UyMcLv
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 943Please respect copyright.PENANAx1W7TONeWP
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.943Please respect copyright.PENANA2f1x120WJz
"In the meantime, you go943Please respect copyright.PENANApzoUNaMzea
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 943Please respect copyright.PENANAME8tUyep5j
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."943Please respect copyright.PENANAqF6zgQXbHE
I nodded my head in 943Please respect copyright.PENANAsi97N2dX1G
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 943Please respect copyright.PENANAhpeWq3ybrx
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.943Please respect copyright.PENANAI4iBgJzY8F
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjoFeC4jKrY
"Alright," I said 943Please respect copyright.PENANAa4LupsgFBB
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbVyaYcfjC3
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like943Please respect copyright.PENANAV4ltFG7vOQ
I was only making things worse.943Please respect copyright.PENANA2cMUu45p7o
Before I turned to leave943Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7CDeTxcEz
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 943Please respect copyright.PENANAZiAqw2IQBa
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 943Please respect copyright.PENANAJBQAs9Z37m
one.943Please respect copyright.PENANADRR9MNO79C
***943Please respect copyright.PENANAWButuSyoER
I sat on the couch all 943Please respect copyright.PENANAKRIyZUqw3W
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued943Please respect copyright.PENANAmZPnWyPzzK
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"943Please respect copyright.PENANAGw4ndPQBc1
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 943Please respect copyright.PENANA8kPuSKXl8a
I had a box of paper 943Please respect copyright.PENANA55b3pSFUBq
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my943Please respect copyright.PENANA2p7SyhFOkv
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAdgxBdSYXGN
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlFTfuLokjC
I continued watching the943Please respect copyright.PENANAMFDCsclD4z
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAPqPqIYfQbh
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAl2vmHe4lZu
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.943Please respect copyright.PENANAKh4RQvXlvl
"Never better," I said, 943Please respect copyright.PENANAzs1uq82Hm2
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 943Please respect copyright.PENANAumm8GHF07s
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."943Please respect copyright.PENANAVVRddDnr6H
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.943Please respect copyright.PENANAIkdArfInT7
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.943Please respect copyright.PENANAMG9QwS4F4D
"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.943Please respect copyright.PENANAoIOTz3e01f
"And the others?" 943Please respect copyright.PENANAx8kTWel2Yf
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.943Please respect copyright.PENANA8h3qCozVzc
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlXaHGfPAsQ
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANA0R4pI1fToQ
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.943Please respect copyright.PENANADG1VwUV0ao
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdIihJSuzsr
"You don't know or you are?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAbPLjmbfhCg
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.943Please respect copyright.PENANALre6xuYj9K
"I don't know, Tae," I 943Please respect copyright.PENANANgZiTnE35s
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 943Please respect copyright.PENANAZSmbs3nsO6
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 943Please respect copyright.PENANABNqK1RzW94
forget all that happened yesterday."943Please respect copyright.PENANASlE7kiVWi3
"Ya, I understand. They 943Please respect copyright.PENANAFqIx5clxlU
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 943Please respect copyright.PENANAt2bFFCIAjM
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were943Please respect copyright.PENANAwAEfMUgw16
going to get."943Please respect copyright.PENANAo9ZFouVME3
I looked on at Taeyang 943Please respect copyright.PENANAjOOe3VDP0R
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAcPzqvcD5ny
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 943Please respect copyright.PENANA3wG9FhHwzp
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 943Please respect copyright.PENANAqDEMYG8S8S
who was as tough as nails.943Please respect copyright.PENANA3pQpemxcSk
Last night, I took the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAtHHBMAtuVl
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 943Please respect copyright.PENANA0udzm4cAxN
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 943Please respect copyright.PENANATfFnq5lKJa
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 943Please respect copyright.PENANAsRYTN51v7W
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 943Please respect copyright.PENANA6Omij6Of5R
Apparently, the managers943Please respect copyright.PENANAicvNXDK2l0
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMczChJO4VI
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought943Please respect copyright.PENANAK3jUUGbxf7
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 943Please respect copyright.PENANAyW8WNzlS61
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 943Please respect copyright.PENANAVJgYRKNIu5
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 943Please respect copyright.PENANAGC0UIyMjpq
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 943Please respect copyright.PENANAG8A685XfKY
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 943Please respect copyright.PENANAsUi8QHzG5y
and the reporters.943Please respect copyright.PENANA5uZG0Yc0f0
After my confrontation 943Please respect copyright.PENANAtuOad2liuh
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I943Please respect copyright.PENANAYTgpiLVjuN
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,943Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7IgdPPiur
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.943Please respect copyright.PENANAyIa3GkyIc2
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAt9K9ff3clN
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.943Please respect copyright.PENANAbDzUY6Ffcc
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."943Please respect copyright.PENANAqgXV6WA8oE
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."943Please respect copyright.PENANAl5xjdABqKF
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."943Please respect copyright.PENANAE1at4e64u0
"Have you tried talking to GD?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAAiHCwlzW7u
"To be honest, I haven't943Please respect copyright.PENANAkXjC0HwLt2
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 943Please respect copyright.PENANAGkEwv6FFtp
slap him in the face if I see him."943Please respect copyright.PENANA6iCBmLua0G
"I don't doubt that."943Please respect copyright.PENANAAft5eAmeRV
"And thank goodness my 943Please respect copyright.PENANAA6dzEcIFZ9
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 943Please respect copyright.PENANA32REQGaD7j
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I943Please respect copyright.PENANA8U1xpw8ZTH
want to do is watch some TV."943Please respect copyright.PENANA5ujD7u1flh
I quickly drank my 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUF2gLpVoI8
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbYYG4NSFog
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 943Please respect copyright.PENANAxkY79gGZoO
to.943Please respect copyright.PENANAsdnk87CKV1
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.943Please respect copyright.PENANA8uM7a1VmJ5
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.943Please respect copyright.PENANAGf8IkiP0fi
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAavzbnD7jCa
"Nope."943Please respect copyright.PENANAmIdvR6KyjQ
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.943Please respect copyright.PENANAHXjEs2ieDn
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAga8iCwSGcS
Taeyang didn't say 943Please respect copyright.PENANAL7B8t94p0e
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened943Please respect copyright.PENANA2eothkl36E
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."943Please respect copyright.PENANAWv1ExzaIx7
"I know you fought or 943Please respect copyright.PENANA6dTdLasqJL
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 943Please respect copyright.PENANA3F6X91bSmO
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."943Please respect copyright.PENANAGXC0wPfFGX
I noticed Taeyang smile 943Please respect copyright.PENANAmnn0MAPfQJ
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 943Please respect copyright.PENANA17x5ge9qAI
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 943Please respect copyright.PENANAHNwV6XLSnd
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.943Please respect copyright.PENANAg329K2LBZ6
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.943Please respect copyright.PENANAXp7DlfpDh1
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."943Please respect copyright.PENANA24HjHiWsZl
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?943Please respect copyright.PENANA0RCiMcUjVp
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.943Please respect copyright.PENANADQP3qOfKkh
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."943Please respect copyright.PENANAiwOcprRFc9
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."943Please respect copyright.PENANAzBXhKYl4vO
Before I could finish my943Please respect copyright.PENANAaKz5Sd1uKE
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQUdRKVDT53
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.943Please respect copyright.PENANAFabbotlrBT
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVRlLxevp33
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.943Please respect copyright.PENANAbUN3T4rYxB
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."943Please respect copyright.PENANARCfSFzVSl5
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."943Please respect copyright.PENANAOtyVJVAVgr
"Yep, cheers to that." 943Please respect copyright.PENANAVd0v3umObX
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANATQohrtjoAB
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.943Please respect copyright.PENANA7s89p8KpOc
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAvhl79QJR3L
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAQ586T5pXuz
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."943Please respect copyright.PENANAzVY2PeOxr3
"Wow, that sounds personal."943Please respect copyright.PENANAyIiNowZFLi
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."943Please respect copyright.PENANANuuN2AcDr8
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAfEuRLev3sy
"I think I've a better 943Please respect copyright.PENANAz13IfOyxIT
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 943Please respect copyright.PENANAjjEmhXUc81
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 943Please respect copyright.PENANAhsLdIrEyUc
lyrics. It's better that way."943Please respect copyright.PENANAeTVP90FWJL
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAKbqLfSJJKC
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."943Please respect copyright.PENANA3BIfMWwjyT
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."943Please respect copyright.PENANADxAvP8abmp
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."943Please respect copyright.PENANAqQUx1N6Qvb
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."943Please respect copyright.PENANAgguP8VZzXK
"Haha, good point."943Please respect copyright.PENANAV8Xg7Vouak
Taeyang and I continued 943Please respect copyright.PENANAiyxU0Y6jKj
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 943Please respect copyright.PENANAdiOJiwdCcX
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 943Please respect copyright.PENANAXjGPLZzhKZ
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we943Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ5pwn2LzX
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 943Please respect copyright.PENANAPuXLx3xKUj
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 943Please respect copyright.PENANAwpblS9K7pn
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 943Please respect copyright.PENANAErkGDKZoSZ
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvtGCz2Y0GA
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.943Please respect copyright.PENANAi7nTgTdDwg
While the two of us were943Please respect copyright.PENANAPNtiOIzlkb
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,943Please respect copyright.PENANAjpMNcPLutN
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 943Please respect copyright.PENANA75pXs6eGVw
I quickly went over to 943Please respect copyright.PENANATZMKMSkd0l
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was943Please respect copyright.PENANA4oJk4378Zs
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung943Please respect copyright.PENANAJfh6iUGpqI
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could943Please respect copyright.PENANAFfY3jH4P07
come up and I put the receiver down.943Please respect copyright.PENANAgsCgJrlEaC
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."943Please respect copyright.PENANAsYrkpEYgIw
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."943Please respect copyright.PENANAX7L9iM6fVL
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."943Please respect copyright.PENANAVt79jg72Nu
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.943Please respect copyright.PENANAM7FyjVFhHF
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.943Please respect copyright.PENANAeVdjmTDs0F
"Eww, that pillow 943Please respect copyright.PENANAhuA90vF0Rj
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 943Please respect copyright.PENANA8tN7VNy0yz
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.943Please respect copyright.PENANAKQGVy8lhpl
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.943Please respect copyright.PENANA7KP4QyOGVz
A few seconds later, we 943Please respect copyright.PENANARn4lpSQmdP
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 943Please respect copyright.PENANAijXueL902D
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 943Please respect copyright.PENANAn2t9V7ihtp
holding a box of chocolates.943Please respect copyright.PENANASv2MPwW8B6
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.943Please respect copyright.PENANA6kriDuABGX
"Ah, no, the panda is a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ41gA4nkB
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 943Please respect copyright.PENANAEwgNiI0722
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 943Please respect copyright.PENANANcIYsxp012
same time.943Please respect copyright.PENANA0lCl3614im
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."943Please respect copyright.PENANApmZ1v3IVFF
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.943Please respect copyright.PENANAL7fKW4u7RX
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAwMSeq7shTh
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."943Please respect copyright.PENANAkAAb3p3idZ
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.943Please respect copyright.PENANA8N6QCqcNTp
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.943Please respect copyright.PENANA9dCrfTwDX0
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."943Please respect copyright.PENANA8LenkrFxjn
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.943Please respect copyright.PENANASOabLFrQpK
"For goodness sake, I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAIfb9NXgSCG
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbVAzLzxLZo
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 943Please respect copyright.PENANACxcF0VcNDh
scared with me."943Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zv58NbJdF
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.943Please respect copyright.PENANAXYuq8A40oT
I took the panda in my 943Please respect copyright.PENANAjuAQ6sOZm5
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 943Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ2Q3I9pao
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvCZqYGwMoM
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 943Please respect copyright.PENANAdUUGQK037g
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVk7h6VulTM
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."943Please respect copyright.PENANAWtTIhpDV0a
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."943Please respect copyright.PENANA1itZY6MZ6k
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAO6S08Wdi4m
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.943Please respect copyright.PENANA6tFC4lGGDY
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."943Please respect copyright.PENANArgAnt5Qzvx
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I943Please respect copyright.PENANAJZq4qBT9Ke
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 943Please respect copyright.PENANAjPNPAbmMBf
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 943Please respect copyright.PENANA3gc9K8BfvM
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."943Please respect copyright.PENANAGjMRcHKRoy
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."943Please respect copyright.PENANAIdsYNtAQCG
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."943Please respect copyright.PENANATW5tTgOzLU
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.943Please respect copyright.PENANAbKd6JWTWGP
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."943Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1lmc1F6sl
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.943Please respect copyright.PENANAH4Cnw8GVyW
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."943Please respect copyright.PENANAGriUm3xVdq
"Ya, I do."943Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ4ytv7rDK
While the four of us 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQFJWDHCPX4
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvlQvZODyZw
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 943Please respect copyright.PENANAo6ZFZ0eqLn
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUMXkpSuQ5k
said:943Please respect copyright.PENANAeiOwutjEwq
"Hey, Zoey." 943Please respect copyright.PENANAdgbSGcuro8
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 943Please respect copyright.PENANALF10Igzr5R
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."943Please respect copyright.PENANASfG8sfSPsc
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.943Please respect copyright.PENANAhmRyRonSaq
"It's good you came to 943Please respect copyright.PENANA4oQ1UWpHzD
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAaeCWOnSNk3
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 943Please respect copyright.PENANABwjvXGP3GT
couch.943Please respect copyright.PENANAt8yKHIWz7k
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"943Please respect copyright.PENANAwckoB08jdO
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"943Please respect copyright.PENANAsQid1mUgNx
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAkJWxbjEMpE
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAncJlQ1Om5y
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.943Please respect copyright.PENANA18ACYwB8js
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.943Please respect copyright.PENANA8h2U8XCIgX
I tugged at my panda's 943Please respect copyright.PENANAz3EU5y2W6v
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it943Please respect copyright.PENANAAhbNVJYX0o
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking943Please respect copyright.PENANABGrAzgARWS
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.943Please respect copyright.PENANAWsRFMXfQFm
The Toxins came back to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvrHcGzWD0S
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held943Please respect copyright.PENANA2OG1mviiy6
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine943Please respect copyright.PENANAzBpjk76XQg
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.943Please respect copyright.PENANARZw421eOHi
For a moment, no one 943Please respect copyright.PENANA5G3No6UsRu
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 943Please respect copyright.PENANAK81Jv8XZZd
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.943Please respect copyright.PENANAynJ5X5Ypx9
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.943Please respect copyright.PENANA9XnRef5A92
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 943Please respect copyright.PENANApc3HqMSV7l
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.943Please respect copyright.PENANAacMelIzhSB
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."943Please respect copyright.PENANAi7IZMK5nae
I stared up at the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAdTmeyxE64U
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 943Please respect copyright.PENANAlgDCIIlFsR
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.943Please respect copyright.PENANASRmujUz5e8
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."943Please respect copyright.PENANALSOd5Eai7a
When Zoey tried to reach943Please respect copyright.PENANA7LbQ4ex7RN
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAl3UIeL26qN
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.943Please respect copyright.PENANA4afwSm3I07
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVlV65is4Al
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.943Please respect copyright.PENANAntidKSkZyf
Zoey looked hurt with 943Please respect copyright.PENANAxhA2dTk6a7
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 943Please respect copyright.PENANA2T989dYgRR
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.943Please respect copyright.PENANADofFuPITyy
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAqa0Ch4eKKj
I didn't answer as I put943Please respect copyright.PENANABY96blAP8b
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I943Please respect copyright.PENANAobkjIldKt0
was still mad, especially at Zoey.943Please respect copyright.PENANAGf5ctKVgor
"I know it's a little 943Please respect copyright.PENANAzY1gvgKMKe
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 943Please respect copyright.PENANAAcRjQICKFA
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 943Please respect copyright.PENANAiOBMsFOhSB
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 943Please respect copyright.PENANAgqGv4dzYGS
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAHGQBFubFDP
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 943Please respect copyright.PENANAU0qTCWz2KB
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."943Please respect copyright.PENANAOO5kb6u5dO
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.943Please respect copyright.PENANAHdfxTxHnqO
"I don't like it when 943Please respect copyright.PENANA0zJGCbtHLl
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 943Please respect copyright.PENANAtI8LTQyRcV
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 943Please respect copyright.PENANAaanuaD3Mxx
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWcvNuvOkx7
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 943Please respect copyright.PENANAg60h94UnHr
sorry, Sam."943Please respect copyright.PENANAMogsp9ykV3
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."943Please respect copyright.PENANAPESjdZpODe
"I'm sorry too," said 943Please respect copyright.PENANAEHUoLH0cHe
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 943Please respect copyright.PENANAprrhUkCFiM
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 943Please respect copyright.PENANAzTXapfZ4jM
for you to talk to us again."943Please respect copyright.PENANAy0dKWOpvh3
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 943Please respect copyright.PENANAKdrrJChSRZ
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 943Please respect copyright.PENANAnwJAcXP12L
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 943Please respect copyright.PENANA0IdmSmI0pg
leader."943Please respect copyright.PENANA98UAxNfwlI
I still didn't say a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAGs4ZnfdF6u
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAgfemFb0JET
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 943Please respect copyright.PENANA7DhrURIOYm
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 943Please respect copyright.PENANAygwVTHCqqH
them despite the awful things they put me through.943Please respect copyright.PENANA642uZANPFv
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAK5U4LTk3nJ
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."943Please respect copyright.PENANAd1MJgt9fTn
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.943Please respect copyright.PENANA8D6eVK1koD
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.943Please respect copyright.PENANAgkmMC7J8do
"I'm mad and pretty much943Please respect copyright.PENANA5O0Kd7oDSW
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 943Please respect copyright.PENANA483Hl45VZ7
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."943Please respect copyright.PENANAy6hmsVvqHN
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAwZY6XOINQi
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."943Please respect copyright.PENANATFDOCJUALk
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAAlkcnzqcnl
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 943Please respect copyright.PENANAGLnT14wFC7
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAHWnrO8TXsO
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."943Please respect copyright.PENANAwVnrnQR67d
"Ah, you! Always acting 943Please respect copyright.PENANAPMpg02WoaJ
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 943Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zdh4e1JET
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWD8b9KwUYk
catch it anyway."943Please respect copyright.PENANAWtHjwsCFHw
Christine, Daniel and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3K0sNC26F
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 943Please respect copyright.PENANANeTwZtIx8N
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvwknOWSeTC
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.943Please respect copyright.PENANAm190TFzBQM
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.943Please respect copyright.PENANAShJVSGwISM
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.943Please respect copyright.PENANAbEhpMJ3oy3
"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...."943Please respect copyright.PENANAmBh6BqdJzC
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.943Please respect copyright.PENANAF2p74nai0I
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."943Please respect copyright.PENANAO1FQ0YtQyJ
"Don't worry, you won't 943Please respect copyright.PENANA4vQ2oPq4vs
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 943Please respect copyright.PENANAFYaTGscuRy
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.943Please respect copyright.PENANAuvVbdTat9x
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlqpnvbds3Q
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.943Please respect copyright.PENANAthAprpqyN4
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"943Please respect copyright.PENANACqkGV56WwJ
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."943Please respect copyright.PENANADkbaLOXrWo
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.943Please respect copyright.PENANAj5W699IoMn
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAlrb9uvaH7R
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAvBkFgrWl0h
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."943Please respect copyright.PENANAHRXe5RuSIZ
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjRbczGjul7
At that moment, I had 943Please respect copyright.PENANAfrmZBjvRn5
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.943Please respect copyright.PENANAGmWKPjVM65
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.943Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vy0vSXyvp
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANABqzRBwPcNm
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.943Please respect copyright.PENANAml2lEfC0Lb
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."943Please respect copyright.PENANAgWwGxkEezT
Zoey got the box of 943Please respect copyright.PENANAF3QApJsaBT
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAcBI9Nhr86y
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.943Please respect copyright.PENANAnC6TZPn6Bd
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.943Please respect copyright.PENANAoqT5R9Eqld
I was in the passage as I943Please respect copyright.PENANAHN2AZchhE1
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 943Please respect copyright.PENANAgp9wtOrtCs
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed943Please respect copyright.PENANAhK2Rk7uA4i
in what felt like sadness.943Please respect copyright.PENANAIB39d2kZvx
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAYdcCi2uvSr
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."943Please respect copyright.PENANAM0vXoq7c4p
I heard his footsteps 943Please respect copyright.PENANAuxkhaIKPUg
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbCg8ovNYJg
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.943Please respect copyright.PENANAPyLYBz3fCG
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAKPN7Rqupuv
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANANcfEqgPDxy
"Are we really do this right now?"943Please respect copyright.PENANADx2l5EBiqj
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 943Please respect copyright.PENANAfWe87ZjQOF
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.943Please respect copyright.PENANAmSjHrg23z7
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAUlZZzdmAWI
"Nope." 943Please respect copyright.PENANASeX8jV0Av7
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."943Please respect copyright.PENANAzPcOG1Vpxs
My eyes almost felt like943Please respect copyright.PENANA9oz4zKgdMc
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 943Please respect copyright.PENANAqqlwbCqLtg
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.943Please respect copyright.PENANA6RdClpVj1E
I turned to look at him 943Please respect copyright.PENANAD4tKSXVugr
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 943Please respect copyright.PENANAKHZgXjl57T
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.943Please respect copyright.PENANAhaXTgVA28w
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.943Please respect copyright.PENANAtxLfUiO4zG
"That you're surrounded 943Please respect copyright.PENANA5cgTEmzb8w
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 943Please respect copyright.PENANAH1aepWa2th
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 943Please respect copyright.PENANA0t055sydA9
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."943Please respect copyright.PENANAkGVQQExiQS
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 943Please respect copyright.PENANALSIjT5zd3Q
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."943Please respect copyright.PENANAJgDMhYdEtY
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA4muMiUm1pP
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."943Please respect copyright.PENANAqSbpSWF2dv
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."943Please respect copyright.PENANAvLWCvp2xfY
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAnt24VdZ4Ki
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."943Please respect copyright.PENANAledKuXUARx
Apparently, I couldn't 943Please respect copyright.PENANAaIemoLrHra
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAzEQqY4VEXt
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAN56bCpvFRS
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 943Please respect copyright.PENANAExX80cxC24
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 943Please respect copyright.PENANA4iJlWOYnPs
death.943Please respect copyright.PENANA0Uq4xtwAXl
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.943Please respect copyright.PENANAZWPKsmwrd1
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."943Please respect copyright.PENANAmWYE7WBAae
Taeyang folded his arms 943Please respect copyright.PENANAhzONR3EdZl
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think943Please respect copyright.PENANAuEfl6iDwXF
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."943Please respect copyright.PENANADLyephytDI
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdmcdD6nMcf
"You're may think you're943Please respect copyright.PENANAKLTs6XSdHz
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 943Please respect copyright.PENANARO9Lhsptud
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 943Please respect copyright.PENANANXukUOtLSE
but feeling hurt."943Please respect copyright.PENANAIUhBNXs2UY
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.943Please respect copyright.PENANASXOZx9uVDT
"But I wouldn't feel 943Please respect copyright.PENANA0qmt5vN49H
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 943Please respect copyright.PENANA1KiHOo4ceI
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQ516MbFk1C
at Taeyang.943Please respect copyright.PENANAZNxlaJAaDh
Taeyang gave me that 943Please respect copyright.PENANAueZP14Vv9m
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 943Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZshudsPhY
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 943Please respect copyright.PENANAslM5gvGNKA
while in return, he nodded.943Please respect copyright.PENANAq0PZZcRgo2
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAu6ZylAMiSj
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."943Please respect copyright.PENANArB72krK0Kq
I didn't say a word as I943Please respect copyright.PENANAoD1np0MlkV
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my943Please respect copyright.PENANASLA91IiwK9
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 943Please respect copyright.PENANAzjyATmW8iW
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 943Please respect copyright.PENANAlObEN6Yi1y
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.943Please respect copyright.PENANAKm7sQFuLT2
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."943Please respect copyright.PENANA1sXyCJt0rK
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."943Please respect copyright.PENANAihOQxhGLY1
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."943Please respect copyright.PENANA3GCZxqg6gM
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA3xMiksxvVh
If there was ever a way I943Please respect copyright.PENANA8ktJm3NPsV
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 943Please respect copyright.PENANAAS1rYjqYvU
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 943Please respect copyright.PENANA3rvB1iE7yq
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.943Please respect copyright.PENANAB45BCoEaRS
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQB4zZ3GcEG
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAocmyjTdTn3
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.943Please respect copyright.PENANAGunRnHmZpL
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlNAasaCB38
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAKcefpW3CTK
"Well, I'm just asking,"943Please respect copyright.PENANAc3dnhROJog
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,943Please respect copyright.PENANANxFYC6b7Ne
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."943Please respect copyright.PENANAQDVKUYv2nU
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.943Please respect copyright.PENANAkOGuPvmjMN
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.943Please respect copyright.PENANALieZdTAY2Y
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.943Please respect copyright.PENANATs46JyiMIE
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.943Please respect copyright.PENANAwKmWFHMY8W
I pressed the button 943Please respect copyright.PENANA1VqElRo6A7
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 943Please respect copyright.PENANAqZTwlzawZ9
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 943Please respect copyright.PENANANyz2XSI5RC
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.943Please respect copyright.PENANAo5sw8vrYWb
We went to the main 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWP8TgCC6GV
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for943Please respect copyright.PENANA7u7y66tR7x
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 943Please respect copyright.PENANAAnSgijxCMR
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.943Please respect copyright.PENANAFmeEEA51MA
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.943Please respect copyright.PENANAUpRkTHuW03
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAjz8CrfrWeh
"To be honest, we just 943Please respect copyright.PENANAa8SAg6RIZv
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 943Please respect copyright.PENANA5lFSUmY1Zc
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."943Please respect copyright.PENANAxkbpXY3GiA
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.943Please respect copyright.PENANAB3yTSWoayr
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.943Please respect copyright.PENANAJdOP1frDI9
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.943Please respect copyright.PENANAXBKSTnx3Y0
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.943Please respect copyright.PENANASks4Nxf3u0
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.943Please respect copyright.PENANAgVteHLoO2w
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAEvICi5pdqt
"Nah, I don't think so,"943Please respect copyright.PENANAJAsmI5mjJh
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so943Please respect copyright.PENANAy48RGpMUHX
he would be treating me like that."943Please respect copyright.PENANAdqKtdsfUE8
"Mmm, I don't think so,"943Please respect copyright.PENANAcfal5Bfuv7
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 943Please respect copyright.PENANALLMhJNl2Ef
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAJVYxE65CH2
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."943Please respect copyright.PENANAnKtDcR3sBQ
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.943Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ38hlyI8B
"Then, stop trying to make one."943Please respect copyright.PENANAHE4FSH02rb
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."943Please respect copyright.PENANA8opEaaO8ag
"Ya, me too," said Mike.943Please respect copyright.PENANAavdc876BJc
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.943Please respect copyright.PENANAZtFiUl291x
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"943Please respect copyright.PENANATcUJOqGpkL
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdBsz575wHL
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."943Please respect copyright.PENANAna5SHQm1n0
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAkcyEBwlCgJ
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.943Please respect copyright.PENANApbmegaesfC
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."943Please respect copyright.PENANAfh0zUnEldY
I didn't even dare try 943Please respect copyright.PENANAXyFN12BuCY
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMu9oRlQ8hy
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.943Please respect copyright.PENANACmBajyyVHw
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvKVkfltr6L
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAWGM0exw8hl
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.943Please respect copyright.PENANAT0llFCeqXH
I heard footsteps coming943Please respect copyright.PENANA8c9sqOafz0
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 943Please respect copyright.PENANAfj6YSMDDL4
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAtTeYyYoxj5
look at me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAsOzn0ZSQXl
"Are you okay?" he whispered.943Please respect copyright.PENANAERNCwcUJJn
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.943Please respect copyright.PENANAUuHWtQD87R
I soon felt strong hands943Please respect copyright.PENANAKPnNObNsnO
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD943Please respect copyright.PENANAqgOGqOARoU
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjOtYntBDJV
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"943Please respect copyright.PENANARJOvlFjRYA
"I'm a whole lot better,943Please respect copyright.PENANA6I3fR6SeIK
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 943Please respect copyright.PENANAYnZtBGUIUN
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.943Please respect copyright.PENANAIviXMtT5uA
"Glad to hear that."943Please respect copyright.PENANA6SteQQee17
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.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjRG4cSxIF7
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."943Please respect copyright.PENANAshYPW2Ipnv
I was planning not to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAySaDWxoF9Q
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 943Please respect copyright.PENANADc53QcHhFh
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 943Please respect copyright.PENANAxU2r1NRLRh
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to943Please respect copyright.PENANASHXiNwnfay
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMZshds7gWC
under the bridge.943Please respect copyright.PENANAINO1EKVw78
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."943Please respect copyright.PENANAqBDcpLU1bm
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAim8ocFcOGR
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."943Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ15ug3F2k
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."943Please respect copyright.PENANAskSLTSTO5z
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.943Please respect copyright.PENANA1uUFS9UtYm
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.943Please respect copyright.PENANAMBwb0AhPhq
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAohA3FfTcQ9
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."943Please respect copyright.PENANAwLAIaysgAQ
The waiters soon came 943Please respect copyright.PENANA3Cx4pzZfmR
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.943Please respect copyright.PENANAJyrDgTSgSx
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 943Please respect copyright.PENANAIClT2JEvxe
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 943Please respect copyright.PENANA9gUD05cPlS
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.943Please respect copyright.PENANAqMF4ki36F6
For a moment, I felt 943Please respect copyright.PENANActkVg4dRQM
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAjV4OwrHDSC
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 943Please respect copyright.PENANA62miMEj7av
me to forget that I was ever mad.943Please respect copyright.PENANAryHcmy3nvT
"Mmm, this is so 943Please respect copyright.PENANA7TFWDy2ZxR
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMwnCs0ivYL
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."943Please respect copyright.PENANAz6j2ZvDMSr
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."943Please respect copyright.PENANAE2OOmdwnks
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."943Please respect copyright.PENANAMxEmliiuKs
"Anything for you, Sam,"943Please respect copyright.PENANArX7t8zWh1A
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 943Please respect copyright.PENANAv9mAHNfyFT
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."943Please respect copyright.PENANAngVfLZBLuC
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANA7OaImQPfIX
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.943Please respect copyright.PENANArn6uVPAKIB
I had just taken in some943Please respect copyright.PENANAOK1jIxDDIc
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvoZ3eXHR6z
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly943Please respect copyright.PENANAsD2sWmUuYd
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 943Please respect copyright.PENANAgYYmxbFD4V
just said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAcymQk906Tt
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAwMJt05gR72
"Well, ya," Christine 943Please respect copyright.PENANAhKvhzsWtcY
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 943Please respect copyright.PENANAttXxh622Pm
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAJjORINS4NV
special lunch to lighten your mood."943Please respect copyright.PENANAuSC4TIZqnF
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.943Please respect copyright.PENANAhrQdvPsmwD
"Thanks for the lunch, 943Please respect copyright.PENANA9EXFRyjL4y
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so943Please respect copyright.PENANA8Chw1ZnB42
sweet of you to have come up with this."943Please respect copyright.PENANAc5HCZOwnoY
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAPydfJ8T9UA
I almost felt like 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMzFFSSP0GE
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 943Please respect copyright.PENANAaBS8PzD1XY
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare943Please respect copyright.PENANA3wF3KYv5lk
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvcZCPfJrGg
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 943Please respect copyright.PENANA2RGrvX8ySI
turning into rage?943Please respect copyright.PENANAMVMEobx5Dz
Oh, goodness. I needed 943Please respect copyright.PENANAn0C7q1wSdc
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAq9RFQabgjx
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 943Please respect copyright.PENANAyTO55GJBxk
I tried to push aside 943Please respect copyright.PENANAAGchjVHJh2
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 943Please respect copyright.PENANAONMopexAmR
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 943Please respect copyright.PENANAXQOW1bGs1M
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 943Please respect copyright.PENANAFYkwI6QjXl
chocolate moussé.943Please respect copyright.PENANAaIoursAAqk
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,943Please respect copyright.PENANAYxn6ezJpPV
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 943Please respect copyright.PENANAaRJ7a6OIZq
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAmllatchMYk
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.943Please respect copyright.PENANAIIKafKrRxM
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."943Please respect copyright.PENANAeVE2q3UofI
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.943Please respect copyright.PENANA1OnzQ97Oqx
I didn't wait for 943Please respect copyright.PENANAF4sBa9N9w4
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I943Please respect copyright.PENANA9LGZb0cpTV
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed943Please respect copyright.PENANA63O0BPxF7q
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 943Please respect copyright.PENANA11kZayP6hr
heaven.943Please respect copyright.PENANA6E5KeasOS5
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.943Please respect copyright.PENANARKeSEb2Wiv
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."943Please respect copyright.PENANAejCiYcqcde
"I don't care," I said 943Please respect copyright.PENANADoxOKgFTtq
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUtYX6QjbzC
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."943Please respect copyright.PENANA2WpdynIibN
G-Dragon smiled back at 943Please respect copyright.PENANAcR5RjXuyKe
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAKm2tEfRa8E
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 943Please respect copyright.PENANABenQw1Gos5
away.943Please respect copyright.PENANAovR67boYu0
After dessert, we all 943Please respect copyright.PENANAwhKSEZXbyV
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 943Please respect copyright.PENANAfYWcNb4EPT
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 943Please respect copyright.PENANAswT6LgX4BQ
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 943Please respect copyright.PENANAncLC6gItUF
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAKlfhGH8SJM
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAU9DdM4Sr8n
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.943Please respect copyright.PENANAaU7UqznaN3
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAbdZybU5I3w
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAZLWw1KN2rK
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."943Please respect copyright.PENANAdZONx9GU3S
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAWbWofnGoui
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."943Please respect copyright.PENANAhtvk14pB6x
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."943Please respect copyright.PENANAsxjLKTpFu1
"What stuff?" TOP asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVREjT3E9Bm
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA0X3Hil1R4e
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."943Please respect copyright.PENANAhzzOTmIDT7
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.943Please respect copyright.PENANADQDTIXyRJT
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAG8Ml6Xp0Pi
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.943Please respect copyright.PENANAubd6fcmpBd
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.943Please respect copyright.PENANAhdtNhXi7ym
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."943Please respect copyright.PENANAqv0UFn2L0W
"Wait, what's going on?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAkgmZdxjuRs
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvCIHPgB8Pb
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAghoxXvLzCY
"I thought we should all943Please respect copyright.PENANAkBIxCUyNPY
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 943Please respect copyright.PENANAswt0m6OzHf
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."943Please respect copyright.PENANApkifFydoyf
"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.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlCtEZkxygs
"I don't know, I feel we943Please respect copyright.PENANA3inRC3nSTk
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.943Please respect copyright.PENANAiv9VMKQmfG
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out943Please respect copyright.PENANAGQMpMlHsoq
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."943Please respect copyright.PENANAFXCLTNgqv5
"I don't get it though,"943Please respect copyright.PENANAcbttc5xfOJ
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 943Please respect copyright.PENANANYaWkJHjiJ
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write943Please respect copyright.PENANA1i8sSMoi7N
the lyrics?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAwUFQkxeIdX
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdTg4fkCeOo
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA1WrCmJpxH8
This time, I also raised943Please respect copyright.PENANAydjTbjB7Ii
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 943Please respect copyright.PENANAhVsjFq440j
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.943Please respect copyright.PENANAJyDA19i4Df
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAegZpHEilFj
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.943Please respect copyright.PENANAqZi7GyUg9c
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.943Please respect copyright.PENANAMIkAv0iuyT
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANApWcBAjRVpO
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."943Please respect copyright.PENANAumOltkiqyi
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA4yzGT5rJ7v
By the way G-Dragon 943Please respect copyright.PENANAx9BsJf0knl
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAxl3p7Hutgu
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And943Please respect copyright.PENANAxo9ne2Z57Q
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of943Please respect copyright.PENANAIyTvRid47H
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.943Please respect copyright.PENANABRL4Fzfg4T
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."943Please respect copyright.PENANA6jaufYIyC5
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAxJruyadbOQ
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAjQmcpVzaoI
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVNYfjj7eot
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 943Please respect copyright.PENANA4HqkAlslP8
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.943Please respect copyright.PENANAeKZp4ioVuM
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."943Please respect copyright.PENANAZNNY8NdL5q
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."943Please respect copyright.PENANAeEjA1jcqsN
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."943Please respect copyright.PENANAWn5ilr9izH
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."943Please respect copyright.PENANAzD1v4pYq5T
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."943Please respect copyright.PENANA3lqbNLk6SF
"What truth?" I asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAoywpA0y0zZ
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."943Please respect copyright.PENANAylMr8O9mM3
Taeyang was right. I was943Please respect copyright.PENANAWZTt3pPKle
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 943Please respect copyright.PENANAPWTiN0BMDf
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbLvpQpz8kO
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 943Please respect copyright.PENANAz36Kwke2tq
attention.943Please respect copyright.PENANABntdDDDoL1
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."943Please respect copyright.PENANAHqExHzC2kr
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."943Please respect copyright.PENANACQJ4lkO7nH
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel943Please respect copyright.PENANAMzvwMZ4xwh
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAclVjyaSqF4
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!943Please respect copyright.PENANA3OymNtEoFq
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.943Please respect copyright.PENANAma5vVl8GwM
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.943Please respect copyright.PENANAUcLAbnoV5g
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.943Please respect copyright.PENANAX7GN5tHosN
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.943Please respect copyright.PENANA563CUhHztC
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.943Please respect copyright.PENANATKWHvER7OL
"But I....." 943Please respect copyright.PENANANmNYkF61Ql
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 943Please respect copyright.PENANAEOR5g9oiUG
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've943Please respect copyright.PENANApj5fENnEg5
talked way too much, don't you think?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAAPvLhT6mGA
That felt like a slap in943Please respect copyright.PENANAGSwnBVLmMU
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 943Please respect copyright.PENANAH7hI1MlaBp
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAKdcwMSo64R
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 943Please respect copyright.PENANAT7MgIbJn4H
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 943Please respect copyright.PENANAJlnTWa65wd
about what I thought was best for the whole group?943Please respect copyright.PENANAjhuBv66pF4
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.943Please respect copyright.PENANAYLQX6l0qr7
"That's fine with me," said Mike.943Please respect copyright.PENANA0HmKuc9EqK
Everyone else agreed, 943Please respect copyright.PENANAYRjZCrThrv
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 943Please respect copyright.PENANAarJTDCB98Z
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 943Please respect copyright.PENANA0I8SSd3QXh
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 943Please respect copyright.PENANA2TBVbW2EtJ
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 943Please respect copyright.PENANAelSO5MHwAV
B, just in case.943Please respect copyright.PENANAnJOjjNBWBB
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjSLJemhSfU
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.943Please respect copyright.PENANAhatTn99Vp8
"Not now, Sam. We will 943Please respect copyright.PENANAEmTdzu9cfO
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 943Please respect copyright.PENANAXPkn2QrIR0
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 943Please respect copyright.PENANADNHdpT3ZrA
gave me goosebumps.943Please respect copyright.PENANA07G39PID4D
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAGAu3Ti25hh
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 943Please respect copyright.PENANA99rs6MZYnY
One by one everyone 943Please respect copyright.PENANAeo45q5XBCi
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 943Please respect copyright.PENANAl0wMG3Sodu
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem943Please respect copyright.PENANAJYFz4l24ej
appropriate.943Please respect copyright.PENANAfOTRarP0ez
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.943Please respect copyright.PENANA3zf3eu2N3c
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAYceYYmhDkB
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.943Please respect copyright.PENANA1sJEoBt4ZS
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.943Please respect copyright.PENANAhIqpWi4kT8
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."943Please respect copyright.PENANAUB81gjPvcy
"It's not that. I pissed943Please respect copyright.PENANAwNl25uoD49
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take943Please respect copyright.PENANAStbj8candC
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."943Please respect copyright.PENANA4vs8CLnccf
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."943Please respect copyright.PENANAb2OvXPqWXf
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."943Please respect copyright.PENANAOT9KAhlMy1
Taeyang placed his hand 943Please respect copyright.PENANAFsf16Q8thh
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He943Please respect copyright.PENANA0QPElBb2B6
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.943Please respect copyright.PENANA5DhC9JVRk6
I knew I had to hope for943Please respect copyright.PENANAphGGbYAXTG
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut943Please respect copyright.PENANAWjbgG0ppSb
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 943Please respect copyright.PENANAnFDhjKskY2
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 943Please respect copyright.PENANAlmU8OJkBQT
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 943Please respect copyright.PENANADOJkV9b4C4
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
