The water felt like a 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bFjhwHsCR
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m9T9lDgi0
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaCqbp0BRZ
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLF3ag45XZ
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDf73Il3nX
breathe. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPFpjVEBqr
I pushed myself upwards 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5owRMkUxc2
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bQDoFcnp1
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkaugYYRAP
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvGRLYwWOD
edge.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmm2zj9Hqb
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSzGMPNFE9
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKUWFk62xT
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibb5CLFCrh
I looked ridiculously 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOYlD4skne
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXis8vlQvA7
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwr9x7RXW9
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEFXyJHHtQ
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LESYk0a3J
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBBHcQgDnE
I looked around me and 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMsqPG3P2P
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSf6BWMQj2
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGBkYQOiF7
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UwAfH0lqI
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKzuomgQGv
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEyYFQTjq8
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjCvRXilGt
I heard Zoey and the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9KVr5KpdC
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaOXDIkprT
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLfYGEotyE
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVJuPa5Xuu
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1neR0QVWLQ
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOaWVXegbj
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSilidoFDps
"I already told you, I'm972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5jxOTs3ef
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDrkzbZWu0
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JZXtvPDYH
from anyone.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcnDe4y9mr
I made my way towards GD972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSW4khdPle
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSmG61ajsK
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhiPJ0hg1D
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbH5KTXVs7
"Oh, man, Sam," said 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hhcPd9Oum
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafZ6KTNcFg
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeLNY03vqr
game. Hope you didn't mind."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoblTvFS5LU
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf04siqMVj
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqGb5RTMLZ
"I told you, our 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOPtN0P2Oe
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsmp6p9yVn
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDNkb7KYWs
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno4ZE9GBWC
Daesung.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6qEXDEQDa
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5lcIn15O1
I dialled Lee's number 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxreHS4lav
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrecB28dGe
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKHVvJ7uKn
They would know soon enough.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEboG5PWSy
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8vmO3vlZg
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA7em9bLdr
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzRPuiM9yF
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmUYFnNxP4
"No, not yet. But you 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY74JsxRuzR
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspo0ngtzus
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq4a8si6VC
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76kFVSNuJ4
"Okay, I'll be waiting."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXQ9It5LZF
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3B61FwXy9
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rc7BURW2e
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyW2mlK0Ib
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiMcy4jepU
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSg8HdLE2o
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkxgpwTXjm
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPTQY0Qwvg
I shook my head. I was 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQUQQ5kG29
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAqXQueVIN
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDoERy3o4T
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsPuzSJoSC
After walking a few feet972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TpsgeqKee
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6IGHo5uat
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8YGUSCxCd
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHOnkBeu0r
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXuM5tpPM7
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDbckbaeOA
None of them answered as972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXVxbFwSRn
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXnH7pHlid
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4EzFgqFWW
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV4kMI5Ast
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhl6furuJd
"I wasn't going to say 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcmrf6AzLt
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGZDRhjzWQ
you would want to hear from me is advice."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDflsiCZUn
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEAgldwR6e
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqaXgUVjWl
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudk8z5gTaA
"I'm still upset, though."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhEacYo179
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiwh9NKZtM
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapqEUus9EQ
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pF1lscKB4
I gave TOP an assuring 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxmREyYvUJ
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvJEHpq5xT
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1pGt0CHGO
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU1YSEBKe2
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPzCM0sDfm
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ1ZkKqlG5
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fKXVf1uDP
We all found ourselves 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF94qKlGwe
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfxqH20yNL
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8UD9GulYh
were waiting for me. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7wfnAHKkW
"Hey, Sam, you don't 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbszjydZx5
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LkugtE1sP
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7FxSTzC1t
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tlYVgQ8Fu
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXW4xhWeHn
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BTtCCgxoU
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTrOfLIoZ8
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFo7jM82IB
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZh6XhsGO5
I had my eyes closed 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftFMGrz5hI
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2TlfDN4OT
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikhroSxK2b
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdprZ5TE0H
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1lCQW6gU9
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVejjk5wihZ
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoT3UI87mh
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0yWVUHKwB
Taeyang led me to his 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmRlkjSwFj
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59OaGVhLy0
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tgi2py5M7
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvwq7EYT2j
In about thirty minutes,972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46fkdwk6pt
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ZjmzXsKi
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwvc2ymQpf
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w2kTNFfjw
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81jywnkaiD
appeared out of the elevator.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoqzF5KjOV
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCJUbzvUoV
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveCvxajevK
Lee who stood behind 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2je0KDAby
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaOcVXRVgK
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDh2ac7Fr1
other things in mind.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeupXTyDDtY
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzUxSELwBF
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CWsZphuyi
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkkT1FQrcQ
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64ayoyHOPF
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTn2jvNnEn
"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."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RqDoQK0YG
There was an awkward 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhEThTMzlB
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopPIYAkPhH
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbEv4G2AFi
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ4MzgCVPs
"Well, I hear the press 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeU5ahndON
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AnRTUBVan
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAm1P0DbIx
"That won't be 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2zNB94TjM
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShgyveguMZ
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfQWab0nFH
go to the press looking all wet."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMro3X0CxkX
I breathed out a sigh of972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUBzkfdiLM
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TZlJbG748
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvAYuNG1PD
"In the meantime, you go972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc4Vu5U3i3
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nTp2b9S9T
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqCeil4KwD
I nodded my head in 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh9LUGt4wh
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtybOB4TixL
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDpNliw6Or
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKrMJYHE0Z
"Alright," I said 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtktjKB6tqM
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod5TO8KRtw
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJq95hTKD7
I was only making things worse.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFPxCdznRY
Before I turned to leave972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYbFagzcpO
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3oJi0YHNg
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz2sQsjbIb
one.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAscs6dXffl
***972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxMxsII7k1
I sat on the couch all 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWgrUgoUvh
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq1Iw82fhm
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT6sJXaHbf
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4yTMjipWn
I had a box of paper 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdSpLwDj0n
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDhs444uYz
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FHBIZzvNv
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSdXRwI1mK
I continued watching the972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOVPbnYVp5
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uoBjNFjKB
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5DmkyOcVO
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44UCL5iPy3
"Never better," I said, 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4xDqUhyWj
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo2mMec9bp
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREyEPasCJ8
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDoAykXFFp
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qg3Jo2nBB
"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.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKrrczLSaK
"And the others?" 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJb5JGRJNM
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYQaudchdj
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0B2FLKHmC
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXNs9OedFv
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYOVjARpV6
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54H4NWHTrI
"You don't know or you are?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcv9Pfqg1F
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.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7KFz2aSE3
"I don't know, Tae," I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Z3vQVTs5
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaZ4Tg7zkb
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9glwBJXxU
forget all that happened yesterday."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar0BuvUJ5U
"Ya, I understand. They 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV7knqhC1j
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gOoOdK2xT
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIXdgjY60M
going to get."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF4kwwPr7O
I looked on at Taeyang 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktinIXy0mV
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCibLD8yur
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT3UuiyRkS
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEi1XA81Ii
who was as tough as nails.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3gD5JuQdb
Last night, I took the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUgBkaevYN
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsJBiTkUiO
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqBPJE3kvc
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjauRhwa3ta
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8aTCsxegi
Apparently, the managers972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ZUUF9ldt
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD4RzEpzYy
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRzGwwhNPt
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAfTBjwYpp
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvGYlnA3ZL
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ad4XGuwoA
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOVnovjGUb
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mg7YVAAfu
and the reporters.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBS4PbgwOW
After my confrontation 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz4lfGJhHZ
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t8DT78Lzc
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AR3nc3tYp
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqdC9FdkLi
"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."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NnZXg99F6
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRYlo1kpKV
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXwmoou8l6
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt2YmyFYwI
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIq1HCUWe0
"Have you tried talking to GD?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15TMThthIO
"To be honest, I haven't972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkXrXGX1dr
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRdcG04plC
slap him in the face if I see him."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRIjdWYqDh
"I don't doubt that."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8OZuk2hVp
"And thank goodness my 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO7lEUuKCJ
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsIajEfMcd
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmlMosCUYr
want to do is watch some TV."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3h8E3tVK2
I quickly drank my 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5z4tGE7bm
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu7JxK9atd
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSRRhrODXh
to.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUCL9i5cNr
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwWqGqPxcg
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsdzEnqf6X
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeUuCXyhH7
"Nope."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxzkBstLf7
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHABXwPDWNm
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PSFttc8DX
Taeyang didn't say 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVxkXOu3c7
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4vJJKpwEm
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHaVi3G4KU
"I know you fought or 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrUTFUU00v
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInmB8hJ8c2
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzjYh4S2jl
I noticed Taeyang smile 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou5pqNu6vD
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1zs7jtODg
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukl8MYSbd1
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQRjdrnoW1
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ZNb7Horm
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ951hNYzIyD
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2PIQ5lKP2
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ1N26GtVD
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14X5rRUiDt
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1pxeQhFon
Before I could finish my972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkZNDoMvAy
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoKlG42Kq8
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zGM6oAgXx
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeybOTB5Ev
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVrbwEfHyH
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCNujnaxxZ
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpjzkY8dWG
"Yep, cheers to that." 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmADdIxHRY7
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS0BotvaGe
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oS1k5CN78
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz4Tjgzu6S
"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."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzSeaVnx1Q
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMAJzKRAb4
"Wow, that sounds personal."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04VILfBte
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nb3focUWF
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BKuL5GuJw
"I think I've a better 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Tg3CQ5c9
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk4P5Wmtkn
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEH60wd9Ez
lyrics. It's better that way."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBXncx0YIt
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQBGH9spGx
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rbQ5s30Lu
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnoMKpmsGG
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mwfucQcgI
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Rib9FQ3l
"Haha, good point."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblS8iv6WRw
Taeyang and I continued 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVTReWsF7i
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iZ4i1zBsT
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2cuFBXSQp
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFzHy1Yjtx
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCCu29PXpb
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPUKP4zyy4
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfqyvmz75w
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GuQRLRlTB
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABOMF0CXpb
While the two of us were972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyNHi99Xfx
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyGgCVRSC5
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQLKonBiNw
I quickly went over to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ycDlrY0JI
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJLr464xBw
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMndQ8sMG1
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCO2NbJgsW
come up and I put the receiver down.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdSvSJIRVi
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadNPvGyp17
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF8xtY2jWJ
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlMLnPl2gQ
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqqqZqkQJ8
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5wH6f5dI4
"Eww, that pillow 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI0a1W6ezu
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBdmPlZWlI
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmgb1V4VEc
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr5G3UfmBQ
A few seconds later, we 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHhc4bGnny
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZBfGdQ8tY
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNrM8UmBNi
holding a box of chocolates.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkYzQDdAFP
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEwUF3ikRc
"Ah, no, the panda is a 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCJ5rAUBaY
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCWp9q9V9r
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wE7CplBa6
same time.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kYM5KAzus
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWPcBrKfCv
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuuumoyMD9
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bEQwSQ5Ft
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSItydGLPh
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxNmuQ0rns
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt5fLEOaBG
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo59Dgs6Sl
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe9A9EW550
"For goodness sake, I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu9j0X33fh
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFLrGnFeyv
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZreYaI42QG
scared with me."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm9jtY17Yu
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2ohTjOwiC
I took the panda in my 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLfpd8cbUl
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFoeBsPow3
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoBNEPHUAv
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv1zNdnSVw
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I8pWwnB9c
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL7quj0cI8
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI7N2tmIvY
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOTwZHrG59
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAvaU2xa1V
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX6VsDlwto
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDliZASkmtj
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mI90qmp2a
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIQNSY0xwx
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgfPx97YxK
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCihiDuzRW
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j5kkSDuxD
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u7mG10816
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOkMlCAtoE
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod89y5yt4N
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd55R3Mk9qD
"Ya, I do."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2zTFTCrPa
While the four of us 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASOJBytLcf
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7dfdnrWmy
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpvChTOytF
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7HHpSfoyG
said:972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCy6wWl8Nb
"Hey, Zoey." 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtNWlWpLPG
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapLMfhya37
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEGi6pxjB8
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kKcvaplle
"It's good you came to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFmX8SwZNA
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHGYND3WIo
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNySa7WQTh
couch.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvjpq250hR
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQzu1rKeus
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQddNirMNLG
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AaWBl9fOZ
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95QoSyhfND
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5nooyIvzh
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFM1p6BM3a
I tugged at my panda's 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWOpZuUx1K
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oOwdl8ew3
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SsMds4uAS
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoHOb8VAK2
The Toxins came back to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjAmFUxSAi
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0y6LtGXsj
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZBz66R5K9
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVTILRNdN3
For a moment, no one 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6wwdjmdhK
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeeFipae8U
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjQhkAVXDI
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCemQydN6Iq
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO63VRErwjM
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr0ffNsOac
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXNg9D7cjQ
I stared up at the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9x4HRO72m
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OjsRSA7o6
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8C77B3ceq
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxSc2bTAyK
When Zoey tried to reach972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dbihveZ6q
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbNWYDjKMD
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzY3dO8Usl
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yd4TYhshv
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2gVV7WbV1
Zoey looked hurt with 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp72oSD84F2
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcaISbGS8q
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GAf5brXGH
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9XQZnEi5e
I didn't answer as I put972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIk9L8nyhD
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrguTBzLKs
was still mad, especially at Zoey.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7Q5tsYbsd
"I know it's a little 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseG3Typ9Qb
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBau52osZv
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BxCJgw20C
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwjK7D7sjR
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zxs6cdX7C
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR7QBqJuUR
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfun7yYXyn
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyYPyoWRna
"I don't like it when 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshOkehjYgB
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpVKyXr2qT
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRYtmTrJ0n
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxb9O9XYsg
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WzuSB04ga
sorry, Sam."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgP3JnnMBz
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGEnb35OYG
"I'm sorry too," said 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4J3bdp70Z
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgZEfoQh1t
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv25NQBpQEF
for you to talk to us again."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdyag5L9SW
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGn68xsfGx
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rFIKl4Xlm
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoqgGHSW89
leader."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8whC5tD0rX
I still didn't say a 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuH16uNJRb
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZLOz1aPP4
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBfzF2Lf1A
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAyaYud9Y2
them despite the awful things they put me through.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfpkJaTfS0
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYU2vok5ME
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpGzKBrjWv
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfuoPifzjz
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2hIUx3Vwm
"I'm mad and pretty much972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY1irpfSb2
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXaoa60LCI
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1y8TAbbZ7
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidIMS7qnZh
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde5wpGiPXm
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn83AB3Br7V
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8vZuEzkdQ
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7oyiq1hKw
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmY3JIbrRK
"Ah, you! Always acting 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i3ua6q5n1
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrezlQPWQ4S
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp4w5GYUMx
catch it anyway."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiwtLCrRM9
Christine, Daniel and 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpf57zHYJm
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdsbrPykvM
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaYnVqWMTT
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR09ZIbXGY0
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0F7C27iYr
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyytBtah8V
"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...."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF0QJKHdFW
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3zi73Daj4
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpiSzQl0Ty
"Don't worry, you won't 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B8eh3WG2B
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm4HDwQOCY
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeQuFrg5Gk
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoo1rdFJsh
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHPulYgWc8
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhTqrqM55l
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw77K2YHmdf
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GkxYhQB8V
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhLB5ZBHSE
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbB8G6awro
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3l7aM2iEO
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVlYxZg1gM
At that moment, I had 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZhmhp8OTP
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe82sRh6Dnb
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkh8btv83A
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhyFHNqCuI
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr91OYUnEgK
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQykVuIh9Jm
Zoey got the box of 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZudTXbviD
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANgQfPaPpc
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GpKzOMbPL
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNA3Idxflx
I was in the passage as I972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbFauaTfKq
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUxvT466Em
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUZhJGK84B
in what felt like sadness.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1TCiocUbU
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHIDtm01ut
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxDoqL5FRQ
I heard his footsteps 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K6U4oWgH9
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO99ufWYiWc
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfqYW5DSig
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKErhSlLo71
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQauODlGLS
"Are we really do this right now?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMwKw5ZzXH
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJJHDG92XL
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Q3Pp9IoR
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xzIH5Vp9H
"Nope." 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgx8g16Kwt
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUNircaKaU
My eyes almost felt like972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2xV6CQ2C9
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxVsf9XNh8
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4biTPQQGFk
I turned to look at him 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F17xKtcLh
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ZIRnuXHB
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZCK9nMLgm
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAy8RQWn8g
"That you're surrounded 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs16yqU2XXV
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aa1N20Ac5
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOOumdwAaP
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM10hiCJ1o
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNmghLnG9q
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCed60rhub
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQg1zqTIYI
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYGXFiPkgn
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgXpWWHe3W
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3LxdNy0ib
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1VmHozECE
Apparently, I couldn't 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjTUJTyslm
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSelyKiBxK
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6uzaAarGj
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcqXweZv1F
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS7zFcma0n
death.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNDzpyHceB
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeIzZMW12T
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbvIV8ycS9
Taeyang folded his arms 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHZ7HEk949
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ8nxpyww3
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkRB9fXUqK
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMDsJV7tYU
"You're may think you're972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPuqf2BfPb
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxAf2evwhl
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK90hrwTT03
but feeling hurt."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA60LFlgsG
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeRtDuaB4S
"But I wouldn't feel 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yiOhMz64o
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyaT6L1zNx
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a0H37wRl8
at Taeyang.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyAvgecYek
Taeyang gave me that 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalNnPNyZGn
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0cBE1DZhJ
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFydSqNHk8
while in return, he nodded.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ1FX6fo5U
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKnhYWcVzL
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqnELWRt8Z
I didn't say a word as I972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOeIIhzEkc
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NvpfWqMRv
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKx4rq1uQQ
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWeJ4a6zSz
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzqmMBeIPc
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMSTgJq9eI
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU4uPbEVKu
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2DMKbzxp2
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlGGWetQFy
If there was ever a way I972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyszlsB6n4f
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxrmO5V9Xa
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZHViHp08n
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN8VZRBozQ
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fcTdXjRq1
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo0YQkhh1L
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.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tZsT4pw98
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoZ9KVShu3
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cq5i4HhSA
"Well, I'm just asking,"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJAT7uYmWx
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJYFk5SFos
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGJ2NordKH
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2289Lx4fZ
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIwYYsGMx6
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wdtf8vBnE
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDb3f2yUoj
I pressed the button 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdHBiKSHbY
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzG7wp7zVt
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi6wVI9vu3
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GwJi29MS6
We went to the main 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAL87zhh3G
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY9RQRSM3q
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoDJdHKQvS
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuYtbTkomL
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTznYV7XNK6
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkiBZuv1Vn
"To be honest, we just 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmeMfpM2Vv
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rT4XeLOea
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyel4IDVxHO
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryzEv6fAMC
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsSVpSynHv
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.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoiuAOiwXb
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWPKMDRqio
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nIxYRSIIA
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGhRStybHJ
"Nah, I don't think so,"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWjVlMOC4g
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPUnNiOJvu
he would be treating me like that."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyCv05ZLOf
"Mmm, I don't think so,"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WTUOGMWxk
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhUsLrZ9ze
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUnRI8aoWw
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpngiO19RVG
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoefTl4npJB
"Then, stop trying to make one."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8caC0dMVg
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3zRd43VnW
"Ya, me too," said Mike.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyV7UqyPLP
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbb9zii4Cb
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX0rjKnSEf
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qz1j8yxSC
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y18WODBiy
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2FWoJ2dSW
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUChbXukdh
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKpai5TIyw
I didn't even dare try 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny8wmAsV0y
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyzlcNN8CM
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJJaqlhNVI
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJnah5KGg0
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuJdA5fZJB
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuczAZlPZ2R
I heard footsteps coming972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wcC5s6A8i
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFKQPEl8bN
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12qVvaDNUN
look at me.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0yNzkDMUw
"Are you okay?" he whispered.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5JfCFAujl
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ND52uxJ9
I soon felt strong hands972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqz9GCP80S
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtUmJdsTnJ
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjswxOZYMqJ
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYQ2eaRbbA
"I'm a whole lot better,972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYeYPrVxT0
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qasf5Ml8l
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDhIkle3rr
"Glad to hear that."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA5phGl3fg
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.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11vs23BMBO
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KdqPcE0wp
I was planning not to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67XsG5AhrD
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0OUHXPX17
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5RxK7HuuP
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsFJrhqpzu
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4S29zQNNV
under the bridge.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJT7NzVXVO
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFPkPtSkOA
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzw5Wyg2DN
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ9jgnDcbx
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE7Fj3s8nc
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCmOsg70EI
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2poIZVwXi
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjvEFfb8rp
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQKcAfhHqN
The waiters soon came 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRxUXUapI5
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFs3ZbburK
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SEUkt8NRt
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAfB04t75U
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DwlIv4u4L
For a moment, I felt 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEOovAxOY3
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKIkvfr76X
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLpXYO2WS4
me to forget that I was ever mad.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodQUsYRKoD
"Mmm, this is so 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVdQvXuYJk
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjyA2ZvHNu
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVeyhPED6B
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXN8Xjrd2M
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUizxL4Zkg7
"Anything for you, Sam,"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw7GHLaUvZ
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6N9gSNGnD
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljKmkg9Isn
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIRghOsDRW
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmfM4uyIEf
I had just taken in some972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WGeRqbjtd
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelVdFnKUiG
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GQmmH5fUB
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8dwhz8hy0
just said.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjcFY006hj
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIs4t1jHhF
"Well, ya," Christine 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6wvPvCY6B
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKPSmzC1j9
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV7dCHFthX
special lunch to lighten your mood."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbaG2wgkd0
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW9pnkbxzZ
"Thanks for the lunch, 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikAyWvhnRU
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3HG3zWxJy
sweet of you to have come up with this."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSQT3ZPy8q
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqF6zyk6gD
I almost felt like 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv2nl6xzdD
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkajOy8lwC9
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLxkA6iUzs
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2oHCqdyEX
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOPnpfSqRl
turning into rage?972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOjzg7WmVp
Oh, goodness. I needed 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSIF4l7fWz
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7yIzPAIvm
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh229MRD9c
I tried to push aside 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQjYNsx3FO
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWCUj8PQrU
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLbSr0YUY5
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraSF3yiYQo
chocolate moussé.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlknQJp8aqg
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsIMTwQO6V
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktKmdk7LnB
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNyng39hcC
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPf94MKdwD
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmsiAWXwdV
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tHgcOfrlW
I didn't wait for 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzSo0pvDAg
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YxvgvLU6w
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkvPgjr5H5
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaef3cq9z3I
heaven.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNLn9s1Sma
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oe373hIcf
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqyPQbAcxv
"I don't care," I said 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2nE9rFif7
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesTx5bzPhB
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpIC2eeQlX
G-Dragon smiled back at 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6YXttmnGm
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSqIRhVXEN
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtdXLfxWUs
away.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoezyRBdIw1
After dessert, we all 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR68BhQlU8
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTUjZRumLA
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBmUUdGLWx
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVT6Fskq3G
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvKRh79S3S
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMuJkRNnIR
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9h4dLQjau
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSjfQ3QGCi
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvewG2nA0Rq
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLIyGliZYH
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lxnqe0QCR
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qtvFQnBT0
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKTsE84KSR
"What stuff?" TOP asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruHRNHc1jE
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlaJcuMI7H
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S5PYuHJ7z
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG2oVETBeD
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGRsQKG4jP
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCrcnUrPb3
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uKvu83lYo
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjwyRf60vX
"Wait, what's going on?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmBuIz0Xwy
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI4cFJxcOJ
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHEdB7319b
"I thought we should all972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDOuGGkAfk
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqya8I1Kh6
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLXTTWNoBB
"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.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVQ3CW7G7R
"I don't know, I feel we972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvEABfHAAB
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUUaUNXfpa
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbqdvg1Zkt
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobA9ZduqQP
"I don't get it though,"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2O3EpvjH9
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeOUD279lD
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXyvGjKAeV
the lyrics?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdNMLt51WE
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TP2GFpQhG
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa1XEOUxYm
This time, I also raised972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7Y6Se91XH
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Vn9V3cg9
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu5jtv068n
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxK3axpXvE
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvmIjsCLpI
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3clAwnbrH3
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMYUdTkvff
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxkuHXj8Qk
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHn2EDPKqD
By the way G-Dragon 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuagTB6yOm
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqTcGpylHo
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUKwgYJmhZ
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlHkX7oGe8
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cxFGsdOoV
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGRuB0bK6V
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmOX7tjU8M
"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."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz40BYf6YQk
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3PjxdfBAE
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofsSGUCuc4
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW84uVe5lUC
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6tLHT8YTB
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvbOoNtPKN
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjYZk4syrR
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcKeryNYD3
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQwauKtPrU
"What truth?" I asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNdPIZAHkN
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Ff0krYnr
Taeyang was right. I was972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpZhy2utsX
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTItwBr0LT
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRO6lCslGT
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf76xNMr0q
attention.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezdmKp9CKe
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTS1u7GZGU
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjZZd8QM8b
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRREQ70rlA
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72i2DghYm1
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1p6hmGjPb
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj0QkZxM8u
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLqZYQDY6c
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9YKzyLGjz
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqtnz9pYzz
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeVOWwT21f
"But I....." 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR8LPzYecY
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGX7IYm56T
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97pIVjM47S
talked way too much, don't you think?"972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhM3K0tb3f
That felt like a slap in972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ou0AYH5F
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA613TZd9dD
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqor2j4kdd
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ5ioyqCIW
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhzHjUvu5o
about what I thought was best for the whole group?972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo7D5r37kJ
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cmKOmDCAm
"That's fine with me," said Mike.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EXibqvQXY
Everyone else agreed, 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstuiLCmoKr
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE2uiNOJX4
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo0LF9ma0b
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBIX2WN64A
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zUjcwQYOH
B, just in case.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEV9miD59q
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyztLzdhnK6
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKq9FnHL26
"Not now, Sam. We will 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyQhBxNs81
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN96C0iLfl
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa2FkEuzuB
gave me goosebumps.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tCIK9BQ0n
"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."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc9QEYebJn
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7xFLNzUU0
One by one everyone 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTEHdqBsiz
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegi0cnezw8
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3CTmmgg7k
appropriate.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqeaHi2kXV
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB7NyYnbyg
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vlca1XNQf
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDRjkzEfKd
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ahzg3ZPoS
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDZz9dMcc8
"It's not that. I pissed972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXT2Ywqgij
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiblwtoQZT2
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXczIcgdjJ
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzz6OS2jUz
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08zLqSCteu
Taeyang placed his hand 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGvCSxpfva
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof6pKOzyip
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjqKMCcArZ
I knew I had to hope for972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqON4QhCAiB
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncRvVJs0xn
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIGv8O0UA5
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeUSSGxQwm
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg3OARmICN
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
