I was looking out 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAtdJKIeeVa6
through the car window on an early Thursday morning as we were being 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOPYGSYkPOO
driven to YG. I felt so much had happened since we got here, it felt 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAw0i3BDgkPC
like we had stayed in South Korea for so long when its only been five 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEDeNOIyg8t
days. I already felt homesick and the feeling of going to YG this 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZJFB0DiC4D
morning, made me nervous.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8marFJ40eb
I didn't know what to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxXjZNsKBug
expect when I get there. Yesterday was a total disaster and I prayed 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZby5Ii96du
that today it wouldn't be the same. But deep down, I knew I had to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAyXKtgnuh4t
prepare myself for what's to come. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdbsKIoyQbQ
Although the other 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwR79fSownp
Toxins and I were still on speaking terms like nothing had happened 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAsWIFKRM52y
during lunch yesterday, I could somehow feel the tension amongst 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAatmKzHeJZc
ourselves. It's like we were now divided ever since I had suggested on 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAtgXumbnYXM
on all of us working on the lyrics for the song. Mike, Daniel and I on 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFKhgQCOv6Q
one side, Zoey and Christine on the other. How I wish it never came to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAy39B7ZZldp
this and I regretted every moment of it. But as the saying goes, what's 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAATeLArb4xE
done is done.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5rhC0yPpNv
We were all seated in 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAJmvbo2ehuD
the car, the others talking amongst themselves with Lee and Collins 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0oYGTHvzUj
while I was quiet and feeling out of place. We hadn't told Lee and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAW9OeRpPQXt
Collins about our little conflict yesterday. We decided not to tell them1051Please respect copyright.PENANAARR3AIEWZt
until we came to a final decision. That's if it will even be necessary.1051Please respect copyright.PENANALDxFSyG40g
"Looks like someone is 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAi50wSoRzL
deep in their thoughts this morning," said Collins who sat in the front 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFKRi5zXqBb
seat of the car and was looking at me through the rearview mirror.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA1ecPNRygKW
"I just miss home, that's all," I said.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9pR5VdBrnI
"You can give your mum a call later on in the evening," said Collins. "I bet by then it would be daytime in the U.S."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbtaX7sHoXb
"Ya, sure." I tried to put up a smile, but it felt pointless.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfPdJV7bJSI
We finally arrived at 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2W7edRv5RN
our destination and when we all got out of the car, I couldn't help but 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAiLYhtRN8Yk
feel nervous. The five of us followed Collins and Lee into the YG 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAS2LicAhFEt
building. As usual, we first had to go for practice. We left Collins and1051Please respect copyright.PENANAz8PHg41GnW
Lee downstairs on the ground floor, while the rest of us took the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANARr9riiF81q
elevator heading for the changing rooms.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwvBwTb9Zkm
After changing, we all met in one of the dance studios, ready for practice.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4ccRJfc04
"So, what should we do first?" I asked. "Go through the same routine as always or come up with some new dance moves?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7vuGGTvmTD
"I don't see why we 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAydTWw9Af0E
should come up with new dance moves," said Zoey. "I mean, it's not like 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAd4al20xOEa
we have come up with a new song yet or anything."1051Please respect copyright.PENANATiYl44LdOZ
I felt my heart jolt upwards and I couldn't tell if it was guilt because of the song issue or I wasn't just feeling too well.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9p6L41XhOY
"But we always come up 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXHZ9SiYiot
with new dance moves even without a new song," said Mike. "I've come up 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQbfnfhe4lY
with some pretty good moves and I think we should try them out."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA53tagp4FMw
"Well, okay then," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders as though in doubt. "Let's give it a shot."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEaEL8yvXEz
"Zoey, if you want you can just sit back and watch," I said. "It seems to me you don't want to do this."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvzndInnpkx
"No, I want to, believe me," said Zoey.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9w9V1NECgl
"Okay, if you say so," I turned to Mike. "So, what new ideas do you have?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvPKVVvlDOu
Mike soon begun teaching1051Please respect copyright.PENANAuctxuV7NGi
us some of the dance moves he had come up with and without fail, we all1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKAU0tRYcbd
got to know them quickly even when we made a few mistakes here and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvQgOsVDe54
there. We soon got a hang of it after going through it a number of 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAr8OtBfMSxH
times, it turned out to be perfect and we liked it. Sometimes back home 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzkCKpDDBeF
when our choreographer, Jimmy wasn't available, Mike would step in and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAj6VvNKWIwR
act as our choreographer instead. Most of the time, the two would both 1051Please respect copyright.PENANACruby7UdsI
work together, and they made a pretty good team.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAyVGiJjrg17
After going through the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA75gRteY0jQ
dance moves flawlessly with what seemed like the fourth time, we decided1051Please respect copyright.PENANApj74hwxAni
to take a break. And when I went to collect my water bottle on a rack 1051Please respect copyright.PENANApWWXaKR9c9
where we laid our training bags, I noticed from the corner of my eye 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoGIi9EtBXb
that the door stood slightly open. That's weird. The last time I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHLO6mxYk0D
checked, the door was closed and I am pretty sure of it.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAk6w4CMCVMe
When I turned to face 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAmA449ZNqTA
the door, I noticed a shadow, and it moved. Someone was definitely 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAgx6z2ZT551
behind the door. I started to walk towards it and when I got to the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkWnbApp3Jt
door, I was surprised with what I saw. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWYvyhyPQZf
Standing behind the door1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdJgbOb6iEb
were two young trainees, probably in their teens, a male and female. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAPybeole9Uy
When I saw them face to face behind the door, they seemed frightened and1051Please respect copyright.PENANAJcRXHQAam7
they bowed their heads.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXZPd5f3Z0A
At that moment I didn't have any words to say as I kept staring at them.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzSstEKoRuT
"Hey, Sam, who is by the door?" Christine called out to me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFO7q1N4EKX
I couldn't even reply. I1051Please respect copyright.PENANA57GnDAZEeK
didn't even know where to start explaining to Christine that there were1051Please respect copyright.PENANAPRYnGqg1Sv
young trainees by the door, who were probably watching us practice.1051Please respect copyright.PENANATnNVajdmcP
Before I could say anything, the girl said, "we're sorry. We didn't mean to spy on you while you were practising."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAyNAjtDm0Lx
"Yes, we're sorry," said the boy. "We were just leaving."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAqh7N4VQgAu
With their heads still bowed low, they slowly started to back away.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAnh5uDC9pu
"Wait, stop," I said.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKONZ5A1FTJ
The two trainees immediately stopped as though they were robots. It felt a little weird, but I quickly brushed off the feeling.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5mTuf3gtUq
"Please, come in," I said, stepping aside and widening the door for them.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvtQMvZk0pK
For a moment, the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANALCwT9xiZVM
trainees looked on at me with scared looks on their faces. I can tell 1051Please respect copyright.PENANADKp5g4G9nm
why. It was probably some of the rules set around the place and they 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAcprcXRbKYB
must have found it quiet weird that I, the famous B.K, had told them to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAYvG23bQ3yy
come in.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9tduehvrz8
"아니요 (Aniyo)," said the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAnPf2CA01fl
boy. I recognised that he said 'no'. I don't know Korean, but there were1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4sy2DDj1vH
some basic words I got to know so far from watching some K-Drama 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAqgzWgbzfs5
series.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIqLKYPQjYf
"I mean, no," said the boy, this time in English. "That won't be necessary."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAmh6u5geqGz
"No, I insist," I said. "Come on in, we don't bite."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3ntcPdLudk
Zoey soon appeared behind me and asked, "what's going on? Are these fans of ours?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANACXgDyu9Sd5
"Well, maybe," I said. "Don't try to intimidate them. You know you scare people."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5jOXHVkXzq
"No, I don't," Zoey 1051Please respect copyright.PENANArlg9k71Uez
turned to face the trainees and said, "you guys can come on in and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAVMCfb1ddyV
practice with us. You're YG trainees, right?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANA69QPYBfNEM
The two trainees 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAVH8BijtHOD
nervously nodded, still with their heads bowed low. I looked on at the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAv9CVXYssjZ
trainees, then at Zoey, then back at the trainees again.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAuV0jSTqUCh
"If you are worried 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZUtGJeNuF3
about getting in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk, don't worry about it," I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdtI70d3JJq
said. "You can come and practice with us. You don't have to be afraid."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9sam3qY9Ag
The two trainees looked 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAp11IvqsAUh
at me and this time, they looked really excited. By the looks on their 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxQi0M2o3eV
faces, I bet they were fans, and probably the idea of dancing with The 1051Please respect copyright.PENANANi1p8oiNsp
Toxins seemed like a dream come true. I knew how that felt, because once1051Please respect copyright.PENANACFFQmJ0iRs
upon a time, I was once in their shoes.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAL2dOipSjw2
"Re-really?" the girl asked, looking at me with excitement in her eyes.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAofxr7WG5fS
"Ya, sure. Why not?" I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwgcuo3jNiX
jerked my head to the side, telling them to come in. I knew I was 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIZVGc3RQcP
already in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk because of what happened at 1051Please respect copyright.PENANANmuyiHaeV4
Caribbean Bay, so I didn't mind if I got into more trouble just because 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdXzBn3wBan
of allowing innocent trainees to come and practice with us.1051Please respect copyright.PENANADxdtta5gpU
The trainees gladly followed as Zoey and I led the way.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAnn2UnItU4F
"Oh, I see you brought in some friends," said Daniel as he saw us approaching. "Welcome guys."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKuuchYRf42
"Thank you," said the two trainees at the same time, with huge big smiles on their faces.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAARfuhCN61W
"You guys don't mind if they join us, do you?" I asked the others.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2tdXuhJ9zn
"Not at all," said Mike.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAeP0m2fDjja
"Ya, it's good to have people around, much less our fans," said Christine. "It's going to be so much fun."1051Please respect copyright.PENANApDqg78oNtx
"Wow, this is like a dream come true," said the girl. "I never knew I would be dancing with you guys."1051Please respect copyright.PENANArcLG9rl8nC
"You better believe it, girl," said Zoey, giving the girl a wink. "Dreams do come true."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4aQJuCXOag
"So, should we teach them the new dance moves we have been working on?" Mike asked as he turned to me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7K1JVJ36GP
"Ya, sure," I said. "It's okay with me."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6CTl4LfIz7
Mike soon started to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQcIMwZjRvk
teach the trainees the dance moves and surprisingly, they got to learn 1051Please respect copyright.PENANApqcXwrmqSx
it quicker than I anticipated. They were really talented, I had to give 1051Please respect copyright.PENANApYj60Ot3aN
them credit for that.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGjefZiqetY
"Wow, for trainees, you're really good," said Mike, as he turned to face them.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdkTrzBX18q
"We try," said the boy. "We have been watching you practise, so it wasn't that hard."1051Please respect copyright.PENANArhJD3tir2d
"We didn't get to know your names," said Daniel.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAi1CNRnUg6E
"I'm Soo Mi," said the girl.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAYxcYLrZ7EU
"I'm Young Jin," said the boy.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZOzvecAj5J
"It's really nice to meet you guys," I said. "Why don't we go through the dance moves together and see how it all turns out?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAmeijq1JGx7
Everyone agreed. We 1051Please respect copyright.PENANACMkrYcYT9Z
positioned ourselves and started going through the moves again and it 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAsX2EBu2FaL
was awesome. When we were done, everyone cheered and we all gave each 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAhIGoFW6ouB
other high fives.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQAarsExhED
"This is so much fun," I said.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAebnNc7zHjV
"Ya, I know, we should be doing this more often with other trainees," said Mike.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGiWpcKVeHb
"Ya, but we have to finish this dance routine, Mike," said Zoey. "So, work on it."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAug9AypBFtk
While I turned to talk to the trainees, I noticed Lee come into the studio. And she seemed to be coming straight for me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWNwrP6IkTi
"Sam, we need to go," said Lee as she came close.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWiupfkRcLj
"Go? Go where?" I asked looking confused.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHBs6emkE8O
"The reporters are here, you know, over the video of you and G-Dragon."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjoOUj12PBd
Yikes! I was enjoying 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxSk78EAoCE
myself with practice and being friends with the trainees, I forgot all 1051Please respect copyright.PENANATskX850ZXO
about the video. I wish the reporters should just forget about the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZzrLK6nBLt
stupid video for once and let it be.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAVE8JsQzM6P
But that wasn't my only 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAPq5LOvtBKW
fear. I am going to be with GD for the interview and the thought of 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAmKyQgTIZgO
being next to him somehow made me nervous. I realised that I had 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAJJZnTZ4hjT
goosebumps all over my arms just at the thought of it. I just hope he 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAN6cIofM4iD
isn't mad at me anymore. But I was going to trust my gut and say that he1051Please respect copyright.PENANAt5GRjUXXyv
probably still is.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAad0x1N3iK2
"Wait, they are having their interview today?" Zoey asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAa0ULHL3y68
"Yes, and right now," said Lee. "Go and freshen up, Sam. You must be ready within fifteen minutes."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFwFJmWp2LM
"Um, okay," I said. I could even hear my voice breaking. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAreVLbziYIF
"Is GD already here?" Christine asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAD4nR7A0GHv
When Christine asked the1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4AHKp9i2e3
question, I felt my heart stop beating. Eish! I was nervous for sure. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZSTmW2ZUnj
The thought of GD being here almost made me want to run.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAVvmvDirMa2
"No, but he will be here any moment," Lee replied. "Come on, Sam. You better take a shower."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAtCBCNRpYO7
Somehow, it felt good 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA1zKchDQrz8
that I was going to take a shower. Maybe I would cool off and try to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAJ24V558m6c
calm down with all of this. But I felt that wasn't going to be the case.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA05yyEog7fk
"See you later, guys," I said as I followed Lee who led the way out of the studio.1051Please respect copyright.PENANANEWoc50ZWE
Everyone waved and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQFJ8H3ZsC3
wished me luck. Dealing with reporters wasn't easy and you just didn't 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbfnnHKmCi9
need luck to confront them. You needed guts and confidence.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAV8g4LQS1Gy
I needed luck to be on my side though, because dealing with G-Dragon wasn't going to be easy.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFXYNOowpvf
***1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0L0KcMu0F7
The make-up artists were1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXOWN7GHr99
done powdering my face and my hair was all combed and tied up in a pony1051Please respect copyright.PENANA07XRe9E0hQ
tail. I wanted to look simple in front of the cameras and reporters 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAumzY1GDpRp
just like I always have. Except whenever I have to shoot for music 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIROF6vBQdc
videos and taking photo shoots, I have to apply make-up just to fit in 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAh0rulXAejA
with the scene.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAn1NYuAirSD
When the make-up artists1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwr6LC5GPwg
were done and I was applying pink lip gloss on my lips, I heard quick 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIbwFt3CZRx
chattering behind me and someone mentioned G-Dragon's name. I turned to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANASIHWvgqvxT
look behind me and I saw G-Dragon entering the dressing room.1051Please respect copyright.PENANANL89NPremH
My heart skipped a beat 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6AOOqgs0vk
as I watched him. He didn't seem to notice me at first because of the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAj5SL2H5mh6
make-up artists and clothe designers that surrounded him trying to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzqS4Grpky5
figure out if he needed a bit of make-up and a change of clothes. But 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0PbYA3qoJa
just the way he was dressed seemed okay to me and they seemed to have 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMApJA7Q5v3
noticed that too because, they backed away from him and went on to do 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7o8PoS7cew
their own things.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAs6AinqNU6t
He dyed his hair blonde 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAUqCXzHmgzG
this time around and it matched with his white fancy jacket with gold 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAyPR59QMIUt
studs on the collar and a black shirt beneath. They never call him a 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAERt4NZUdYE
fashionista for nothing.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAeICXV3WGPo
When he looked in my direction, he saw me and he immediately looked the other way as though I was nothing.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEFff3GRSsb
Ouch! That's gotta hurt!1051Please respect copyright.PENANAN2GLnFdVty
I felt my face grow hot in embarrassment. He was still mad at me. I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5F41ZQufob
slowly turned to face the mirror again trying to act like nothing was 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjvSXZaRmPw
wrong, when I was actually hurt.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAB8Yr0EGHBk
Through the mirror, I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAd82vi85Tmp
saw G-Dragon take a seat on the other side of the dressing room facing a1051Please respect copyright.PENANAnBUMdMn1xX
mirror. He was looking down on his phone, probably texting or 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9BpULDBNDY
something, and I continued to stare at him.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKoJfue9mYF
G-Dragon looked up at 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGfT1lDDTpr
the mirror in front of him and I bet he saw me looking at him through my1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKNBELs7AtJ
mirror because he had a funny look on his face and he went back to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAUotNX2Pos6
looking at his phone. Bummer! I could tell by the way he looked at the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIZdshjv7CK
mirror that he obviously saw me looking at him. I sighed in deep regret 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXdpzFPFvbY
and looked the other way. I had never felt so alone.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6ddsFkFK9R
Then all of the sudden, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAENbW2UmEDX
someone behind me held my shoulders and I almost jumped in fright. I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAVSASc4NeVA
looked behind me and there stood Daesung. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzIGAhgX734
"Hey, little kitty. Your head's in the clouds today," he said, as he continued to look down at me and smiled. "What's up?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANALwzmH8mGKb
At that moment, I was so1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5gn3Qgd3sM
glad that he was here. Right now I needed someone to talk to. I smiled 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1a76FOqcb
back up at him. His smile and his presence seemed to have brighten my 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAO3fhRJJyds
mood a little.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAYNPKkzjYa0
"Take a seat and I'll tell you," I said.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwXsSreMh0E
"Okay, sounds serious," said Daesung as he grabbed a chair and sat next to me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAeWL8N12jWO
When I looked at 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAUzkuar3zuI
Daesung, I felt myself blush. With our shoulders almost brushing each 1051Please respect copyright.PENANALmlAslDqTS
other, I could feel the electric pull between us and I hope he wasn't 1051Please respect copyright.PENANARuWoQles7b
feeling it too. It brought back memories of what happened the day before1051Please respect copyright.PENANANerG0BB5X0
yesterday. The two of us hadn't even tried to bring up that topic yet. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAY183O9mX78
Maybe we never will.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAW1inoFBhPw
"So, tell me, what's wrong?" Daesung asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANADxn6oeN406
"Everything is wrong," I slowly replied.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3vUwlLaD7x
"Is it about yesterday?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbzOWFSUAQY
"Ya, it is."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAo3tL34JAj5
Daesung looked behind 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAXEG0g1ULV
him because he knew what I was taking about. I also turned and G-Dragon 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAukrlvPkv13
was still on his phone ignoring everyone around him. He seemed lost in 1051Please respect copyright.PENANANCwvvuXjLy
his own world.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXYsVLkg17T
"He's still mad, isn't he?" Daesung asked as he turned to face me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAU7HKUD0m2V
"Pretty much," I replied. "He didn't say a word to me when he came in and ignored me as though I didn't exist."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2XCEIXxgIj
"Let's just hope he doesn't stay that way for long."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAUkGUG8oWF1
"I hope so too. But why do I get the feeling that this is only going to get worse?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8zChy8VbKM
"Stop thinking like that, okay?" Daesung held my hand that was on my lap. That sent tingles up my arm and down my spine.1051Please respect copyright.PENANATuafjXo0U4
"I can't, Daesung," I said. "My gut feeling has never failed me before. Why should it now?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbsJ7zHkUZO
"I don't have the answer to that. And it seems to me you really trust your gut a lot."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0VjiwfgaUo
"Dah, I always do," I said rolling my eyes playfully as I smiled.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAqVkia7pm4r
Daesung laughed and that1051Please respect copyright.PENANALKhff8J4ly
caused me to laugh also. I felt so relieved that I shared this with 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAx1P5ffOuSA
Daesung. He is so nice, caring and understanding, just like Taeyang.1051Please respect copyright.PENANANjfooYiHPZ
I soon felt someone's 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfWHIUNWbq8
eyes on me as I laughed. I looked behind me. For a moment, I had a 1051Please respect copyright.PENANADVUwzqE6KY
feeling that G-Dragon was staring at us through the mirror, but his eyes1051Please respect copyright.PENANAp0m2aEnc0c
were still on the phone. Maybe I was just imagining things.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAUcP42GDdHY
Lee suddenly came in the dressing room and said, "Sam, Ji Yong, it's time to go. The reporters are waiting."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxmMJwUIwE4
I quickly stood up and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzV6uLK4fKi
checked if my clothes were alright. I was wearing a blue summer dress 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA1aFHFMUEbW
with purple flowers on it and white flats.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAY4khSi6S3W
"You look beautiful, Sam," said Daesung. "Just stunning."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKigUTliWyG
I smiled and I blushed like crazy. Right now, I had to focus on the interview and Daesung was sweeping me off my feet.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAhl7orb4OXS
"Thanks, Daesung," I smiled, as I continued to blush.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHnW6Ao9LuT
I noticed G-Dragon stare1051Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Jpzp1v7w
at us as he stood up from his chair. And when I turned to face him, he 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbRwhMUMegn
quickly looked away and walked out of the dressing room, bypassing Lee 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWnnEe7jLhs
who was by the door. For a moment, the room was silent as everyone, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAhewCPNBUfD
including the people who worked around the dressing room, noticed 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAV5AV88fabi
G-Dragon's odd behaviour.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIvb2L7YlCz
"Wow. What's wrong with him?" Lee asked as she pointed her thumb down the hall where G-Dragon had passed.1051Please respect copyright.PENANABxUYnqLaIq
"Long story," I answered. "We better go."1051Please respect copyright.PENANADPLDDYFhLj
Lee nodded her head and I turned to face Daesung.1051Please respect copyright.PENANATzD9Omk4IU
"You'll be fine, don't worry about it," said Daesung as he smiled at me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoYbf0M52Wl
"Thanks," I tried to put up a smile, but it all felt useless.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxyhxDlDYiz
Lee and I walked out of 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAeLCac2dnrk
the dressing room together and it seemed like G-Dragon had already taken1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEixyAbBrDR
off into the elevator without us because he wasn't in the hallway. The 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAyHe3ykbnpu
guilt came back to settle within me and I couldn't help but blame myself1051Please respect copyright.PENANALUbFt47YI9
that it was all my fault he was acting this way.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0JbMquHfcn
When Lee and I got into 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8CaSDpQ0Ct
the elevator, she asked, "why does G-Dragon seem so upset? I noticed the1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQrjMl6cCgZ
way he looked at you. Weren't you supposed to be mad at him for what 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAB6ect4LKfK
happened at Caribbean Bay?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIqdKmQ6FLN
"A lot has happened that1051Please respect copyright.PENANAB7mZroiOWh
you don't know about, Lee," I said, staring at my feet as the elevator 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA46ocQHWHQc
continued to move. "So much that I can't explain."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAiG6ohIBXuI
"Like what? I heard you guys had lunch yesterday and things didn't turn out well."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAh0pGFSq2cD
"Where did you hear that from?" I asked as I quickly turned to look at her.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZJEy6nW9UT
"Too much gossip among 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9OLUaapN9a
the working staff at the hotel," said Lee with a smile. "Don't worry 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAT8OWvNNmvq
though. They said it didn't seem so serious."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAJrMxVpjqpe
"Wait? You understand Korean?" I grew even more surprised when that thought suddenly dawned on me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANASXrwzcdCvF
"Dah," said Lee, rolling1051Please respect copyright.PENANAI93f1qXowD
her eyes and the elevator doors slid open. "Why do you think I was able1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdGl8wylg4J
to hold Yang Hyun-suk and Collins for so long at YG? Oh, and don't tell1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4gIwtrq91a
Collins. He doesn't know either."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfzm1jpiS1C
"You never told me what happened," I said as the two of us stepped out of the elevator.1051Please respect copyright.PENANALpsfaWk2op
"Well, I think the both 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFt8qP3Xxrz
of us have a lot of catching up to do after this," said Lee as we both 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIAUkuhznNL
walked down the hallway and turned round the corner. "Right now, it's 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAg9TSnCshIl
showtime."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA08ZCb8FE9D
It was showtime indeed. I1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxd9ZmUCFtq
found Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and G-Dragon talking amongst themselves in1051Please respect copyright.PENANAmIxDY4vweC
the hallway. Behind them was the door that led to the conference room. I1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3NggGC6etp
could hear voices of the reporters behind the door and I felt my palms 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAYRzh3e9bXy
starting to sweat. I wasn't such a fan of interviews and I hated them.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAt121xIuoTs
"Ah, here she comes," said Yang Hyun-suk as he noticed Lee and I approach. "You're looking very lovely today."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0mnmhF42Pu
I bowed my head at him and said slowly, "gomawoyo (고마워요) (thank you), Hyun-suk Sajangnim (사장님) (Boss)."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAB7WwHGoGKs
"I'm impressed," said Yang Hyun-suk, with a smile on his face. "You're really learning."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAra142msx1P
"Well, I try to do the best I could," I said.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAG8053Qsjcd
"Sam really knows how to adapt to the environment she's in," said Collins. "No wonder she's so smart."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAN44D3p2Nyl
"No doubt about that," said Yang Hyun-suk. "And she's looking really lovely today, isn't that right, GD?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANApnCBCsW0iR
My heart almost skipped a1051Please respect copyright.PENANAtOs0B1Alsw
beat as I turned to look at G-Dragon who was also looking at me. For a 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfM361xP2Ti
moment, he didn't reply and I was scared at what he was going to say.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAmYHieEUCHD
Surprisingly, he managed1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdU7RYDKO6W
to put up a smile on his face. For a moment there, his smile seemed 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAV0NZEPG8Ip
genuine, but I could feel the negative energy behind it.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAggThdYRtHX
"Yes, she does look lovely today," G-Dragon replied.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAYJTokfXvM6
I didn't know whether I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3gvQXgk8K9
should run or remain where I was. I couldn't stand this any longer. I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAaJKw7f2Mn0
felt he was some psychopathic killer ready to jump on me when no one was1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOYbOZay4w9
looking. And honestly, I felt pretty terrified.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8W43NQefW4
The door soon flew open 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfpdx1Nhg5h
and someone came to inform us that everything was all set and ready to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIw612sKyMP
go. I breathed out heavily as I tried to calm myself and we walked 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2FX3gy14V8
towards the door. My palms were still sweaty.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMDZSE7sJLF
"Hey, don't worry about a thing," said Lee as she reached me to the door. "You'll be alright."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAS261TfHQxd
All I could do was nod my head at Lee and I stepped in to the conference room first with G-Dragon behind me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAr3f0Q1NO5k
The flashing lights of 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2vevxdpO4L
the cameras flashed around me. They blinded my eyes for a moment, but I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdQSy2WJObn
pretended not to flinch as I continued to walk up to the small podium 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3RThZ579ob
and there stood a table with four chairs.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoNBIXREx2S
I got up to the podium 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAt9vU7UcK5U
and I was guided where to sit. There were four chairs behind the table 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAA98IVo1jYj
and I sat in the middle and G-Dragon sat next to me. Collins sat to my 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzRHuU0kQaQ
left while Yang Hyun-suk sat to G-Dragon's right.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAb3pWcaZtpt
The bright lights of the1051Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZT3TB93me
flashing cameras continued to flash in front of my eyes and it took 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5pTfB0osUw
time to regain my vision. I soon noticed that there were a lot more 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAVce74Stz6K
reporters and camera men in the conference room than I had anticipated. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFaOsAHlvu2
My hands were as sweaty as hell and I felt them shivering. I bet this 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjMKdHUl4ml
interview was going live on national TV because I noticed video cameras 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKcJZ3rnAyQ
around the room.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQDy7CUSGK5
"Good morning, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxw4EYWhaCH
everyone," said Yang Hyun-suk through the set of microphones that were 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZt5w42J4mI
in front of him on the table. "We may now proceed with the interview. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAf1c5BEelU
You may begin to ask your questions."1051Please respect copyright.PENANApm1eDKASEi
The thing I always hated1051Please respect copyright.PENANAL0fc4JPOzp
about interviews, was that reporters could ask the dumbest questions, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAq1uiUeYuBQ
the personal ones, the most hurtful ones, the most confusing ones and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5RVWRlLwSq
the inappropriate ones. I hoped and prayed that the first question 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAo7OhOY7NQI
wasn't going to be any of the five I had in mind. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANArMiTiXcRIc
A lady among the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANANO5ETsI2PG
reporters raised her hand and Yang Hyun-suk told her to proceed. I had 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA999JDPl5cu
my fingers crossed. I always hated such moments.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbLijpt76bV
"I'm Mi Sun from MBC 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAix9pJRCRq1
TV," said the reporter. "On Tuesday this week, a video of YG's own 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAI4kx3gfprn
phenomenal artist, G-Dragon, and Samantha Glasson, also known as B.K, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9yXR36avOw
was released on YouTube and almost became a worldwide trend. My 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFHK4ETEWer
question, probably on everyone's mind is, are the two of them dating?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwnkWMvWGtp
Yang Hyun-suk answered, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjIpnro5mXN
"we can assure you that the two of them aren't dating. That video wasn't1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwwqql7S75g
supposed to be aired on YouTube."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQqVMJpEQHe
"If it wasn't supposed to be aired, then who did this and why?" the reporter asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7SGqNB69YQ
Ah, oh. Was this the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5Rc5EzVfGQ
part where either G-Dragon and I were supposed to answer the question? 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFgrfXt3zn7
If so, I wasn't ready to tell them that my very own best friend had done1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzjQQ48yXaz
all this. I feared of what the outcome may be.1051Please respect copyright.PENANATM9h28AmuS
"The person who took the video was none other than our very own, Zoey," Collins answered.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOnn20lrj3N
From the corner of my 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0jRg7Mrj5c
eye, I looked at Collins. I knew Collins wouldn't want to make Zoey look1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7f1HWP7Dt1
bad for any reason at all, but it looks like he and Yang Hyun-suk were 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWcosU1VoMn
sticking to the truth. I might as well just do the same.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAYqBCtW2I4I
Another reporter, a man this time around, raised a hand and Yang Hyun-suk allowed him to speak.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZtOWQbYpO
"Thank you, my name is 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAlJdGvAHBFh
Jin Soo from KBS," said the male reporter. "I think a lot of people 1051Please respect copyright.PENANADgnmJiRkkr
would want to know after hearing all of this, why would Zoey post that 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6SZpVgpDH
video? From the look of things, what was going on between GD and BK 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZQinc8hjq
seemed like a private affair, or was the video all for show?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANABToHsGykp8
This was what I feared. I1051Please respect copyright.PENANAd0zuxJ44XB
bet a lot of our fans were thinking G-Dragon and I were actually dating1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAnSkQEV5O1
and had high hopes. Now that people know the truth, it would crush the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAeBl0JXB84k
fans and Zoey would end up being the villain. But telling the truth was 1051Please respect copyright.PENANANuo2cUtv05
really the best option. It wouldn't seem right, now that GD and I were 1051Please respect copyright.PENANArZ2EldhzLH
clearly not on good terms at the moment, to tell the whole world a lie.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAi7yBs59Tcu
"I think I'll answer that question," said G-Dragon.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8s9td2OEJo
For a moment, my heart 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfr9qT1Z3pW
almost skipped a beat as G-Dragon spoke through the mic. I turned to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAqtimuY7DAZ
look at him. I just hoped he wasn't going to say anything that would 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAb4nJv44WPE
raise more questions from the reporters.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAeWFaLoh0XR
"The video you saw on YouTube wasn't for show," said G-Dragon. "All that was actually real."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAmzrviEdsAs
"And you allowed Zoey to take the video?" the male reporter asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwIrG3Pf1g1
"No, apparently, we never realised that Zoey was taking the video until it was already too late."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHthZO3P2l0
"But why did she do all that? Can you explain what her intentions were at the time?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAW4A08w54vU
I knew G-Dragon wasn't 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ4zlIojXh
going to answer that question because no one knew Zoey better than I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2Unjx31GaB
did. So without realising it, I stepped in.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAsfCEQJkF2H
"I know what Zoey did by1051Please respect copyright.PENANAD7y9ahsl9Y
releasing the video has raised a lot of questions in everyone's mind," I1051Please respect copyright.PENANADejvcekTsH
said, confidently. "Many of our fans had high hopes that GD and I were 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAJwSIwWHpfy
dating, but that's not the case. What happened was nothing but a 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3DhiSN5e62
misunderstanding."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8TgBNy4u9u
Immediately I said those1051Please respect copyright.PENANARITvDDaeXo
words, everyone's eyes were on me now, including those around the world1051Please respect copyright.PENANARNuOBEG0Nw
probably watching on their television screens or devices. Yang 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAqCyYyMVz53
Hyun-suk, Collins and G-Dragon also stared at me. The camera lights kept1051Please respect copyright.PENANAtDhLxh5StM
on flashing in my face like crazy. I wish I could tell the camera men 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxxiuDtn5t7
to stop because the flashing lights were so annoying. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7QhX76OKSW
I continued before any 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9uZPgWjJjl
reporter could ask what I meant. "The truth is, what was going on 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAB87f4yKzwj
between GD and I was real. He gave me chocolates and roses because he 1051Please respect copyright.PENANALcXexejcge
was trying to make up for not being there for me the previous day and to1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8in008O1p1
congratulate me on making it on the Elle Korean Magazine Cover. So, him1051Please respect copyright.PENANAtwbaiP0zRB
giving me those gifts were more like saying 'congratulations' and 'I'm 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAW5zdnpWnYT
sorry for not being there' kind of thing."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjX110ECfWJ
For a moment, no one 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzYaIIEss1q
said a word, not even the reporters. I turned to Collins, who gave me a 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAM7n5gpPpJn
nod to go on. I continued to stare at the audience of reporters and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2d5O9kp71
camera men. I could feel G-Dragon's eyes on me though. But that 1051Please respect copyright.PENANADXPjrykHK3
shouldn't intimidate me. I cleared my throat and went on.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAN4w5SVa3nX
"And knowing Zoey, she's1051Please respect copyright.PENANAs0HkSiplhK
one who likes to capture such beautiful moments. So, she decided to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAu1huSGgnq9
take a video of what was happening. And before we could realise what was1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHqZcuzlDgj
going on, it was already too late. She first posted it on her fan base,1051Please respect copyright.PENANAqtoGokbcjp
which she usually does. But before she could take it down, her loyal 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAlEmnjBz6BM
fans had already seen it and probably one of them posted it on YouTube. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzUjqmyTIiv
And that's how everything came to be up to this point."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFVasR2BJzj
All the reporters who 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAuIcoi3Bjn4
were taking down what I was saying, started muttering among themselves 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOEgtVvumDW
as though we were in a debate room. I didn't know what they would 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGoVGbofkVn
obviously be talking about and I hoped that they weren't going to ask a 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4TrZjAX3ll
question that might just intimidate me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3B9dkxrjFl
The same female reporter from MBC raised her hand and she was told to proceed. I feared for my life.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHoqxqBPCt6
"So what you're trying to say, B.K, is that all this is Zoey's fault?" the reporter asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAf4szpiKXi0
"Well, I could blame 1051Please respect copyright.PENANARGO3DXNJ0b
Zoey because she was the one who took the video in the first place and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAV1RMyZGBJS
without our permission. But it's not entirely her fault," I replied. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAY83ulH1WMh
"I've grown to know her very well because she's my best friend. I know 1051Please respect copyright.PENANADLfsogijpj
she didn't mean any harm by raising people's hopes that we were dating. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAqSU7quu0xD
Knowing her, she thought she could try to capture the great friendship 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6zpxwWnl79
that G-Dragon and I have."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdIEDl0C54B
What was I saying? I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAcjYgUxjapI
know I am being honest and genuine, but saying it with G-Dragon by my 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGwrJWBI0u4
side felt awkward. If people got to know that G-Dragon and I had quiet a1051Please respect copyright.PENANARSx1S1Xvf1
misunderstanding the other day, it would surly raise questions and the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAslarxmJjXC
whole world would criticise me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwxjOneJub9
I stared at G-Dragon 1051Please respect copyright.PENANArNynwMElFG
beside me and he was still staring at me. I could see it in his eyes 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjlrePCs7MZ
that me saying all that felt wrong, but all that happened way before the1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHoTZ1JfBRJ
argument. I was hurting as I said all that and I wish I could turn back1051Please respect copyright.PENANAnh0QLlMXNr
the hands of time and set things right.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3Plcrmwdye
"And also, she's always 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjWSYCDjlcx
admired G-Dragon," I continued, as I turned to the audience. "So, I bet 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAsRBSrJmJS0
she was trying to capture G-Dragon's great personality. We all know how 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAInyVW2RcxI
much of a good guy he is, so, that's why Zoey did all that."1051Please respect copyright.PENANApRLqtH0Jgv
I think I had said 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjpRXr9Dkrl
enough and I kept quiet. This was awkward and I could feel that G-Dragon1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkq60w2t6fd
was feeling the same way. All I wanted was for this interview to be 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA190Yr1X1XY
over and get out of the conference room.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7KrsyTfYAk
"So, you two are clearly not dating?" the reporter asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANALcCbvMiTD1
"No," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAThVlsk2hFp
Okay. That felt weird. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvqdIVivtQ5
My eyes flew at G-Dragon and he also turned to look at me. That made 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA69aVFvVbI4
things even more weirder. I bet those watching on national TV would 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAB1F1dzGLZt
either find all of this a show or something beyond the ordinary.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkw09GOihwy
"And you guys wouldn't 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ5SL1mRMK
like to date in future?" the reporter continued. "Because a lot has been1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdmxUoF6xAC
said since the video came out that you two would make a great couple."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAp9H5jsyolq
"No, we wouldn't."1051Please respect copyright.PENANATHLOUiy6Wq
Dang it! We replied at 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAPlIJRe8wR6
the same time, again! This wasn't going so well and we both knew it as 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAJfvNjj8spf
we stared at each other. These were the times you would tell the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAczysuAHj95
reporters to mind their own business and walk away like you didn't care.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAcFnzg3OyGr
This was turning out to be just terrible.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAN9xG41lKro
"There would be no need 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwkS1cdPSw2
to ask such questions," said Collins. "The Toxins are here in South 1051Please respect copyright.PENANApB8FZg7H9G
Korea strictly for business. There would be no point for Sam and Ji Yong1051Please respect copyright.PENANAtXJryn69Iu
to start dating when The Toxins would obviously stay here for less than1051Please respect copyright.PENANASWre3PhhT9
a month or two."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAySN6u63nW5
Phew! Thank you, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAnQIutiu5VU
Collins! No wonder I considered him as my top guardian angel. I was so 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOGCdeSDhYc
glad that he finally decided to step in or else I would obviously have 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMkCqrjHHOH
told the reporter to piss off.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxl5wpM21T0
"So, how is the song 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQYSw98eRac
coming along?" the reporter asked. "Because I heard The Toxins and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoFEQTWvc1g
BigBang had quiet a fun ride at Caribbean Bay the day before."1051Please respect copyright.PENANABIkP2jhXmI
Oh no. That question was clearly not necessary. Aargh! This was what I considered the inappropriate question.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3tGCEm3LuQ
"I don't see why you get1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGrsGxw4yrw
to ask that," said Collins. "They went out to have fun and find a 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAe3O013cvY4
source of inspiration for their song. And why not at Caribbean Bay? I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwTFOropKOr
know Sam and Ji Yong were supposed to be here for the interview that 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAe9VAS3wwlj
day, but apparently, you all came at the last minute when they had 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9YoEpSvng0
already made plans to go out."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXM83Nbin8E
I didn't know whether to1051Please respect copyright.PENANATCRg9OkKXr
be impressed that Collins is such a good liar, or I should hug him at 1051Please respect copyright.PENANArsiUr167vx
the end of the interview for saving our necks. That was such a close 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAb3JPTk2TFE
call.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZI3kIesCPp
"I think time is already up," said Yang Hyun-suk. "So, if you would kindly excuse us, we have other schedules to attend to."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkXtMK5Dp2D
No reporter asked any 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbgQS4Jaa7P
further questions, that meant all of this was over. Finally! I just 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6HfGdwySHg
wanted to get out of here and breathe. I needed the air because things 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAyMfWHW3I72
were starting to get a little intense in here.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAd4mLdcGzPo
When we all got up from 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMl7kBEHVoD
our chairs to leave, I was backing away from my chair and the back of my1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMr5Y1gV54j
shoe got caught with one of the cable cords on the floor. Before I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZJwf7uqpke
realised it, I tripped and was falling backwards. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWQSFxqjaC1
I almost screamed but before I could even reach the floor, G-Dragon caught me just in time. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbKWsOLAFZP
The camera lights in 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2UyFwjr97Y
front of us flashed like crazy because of the scene. And I couldn't help1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkrPAA1N9nS
but feel that all this just made things a whole lot worse.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAq2ff1ev3bb
G-Dragon and I were so 1051Please respect copyright.PENANANXRYSJvPMK
close and I couldn't help but blush when I looked up at him and he was 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0cKYs0OEMb
staring down at me. I knew that he was still angry at me, but I wanted 1051Please respect copyright.PENANANqzGCLhgyv
to forget about that and I hoped he would too. We could both carry on 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAn1x12DtPBM
with our lives as if all that never happened.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAnu3eN3oMLx
He quickly helped me to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXv20FyZjLQ
straighten up as the camera lights continued to flash before us. I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANArkhOeMusWy
stared at G-Dragon and I realised that I was still blushing. I took a 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3BUBzvqcuC
strand of my hair behind my ear and cleared my throat.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGGZxWkprHF
"Um, thanks, GD," I said to him.1051Please respect copyright.PENANArP0sggaPVU
"You should be a little more careful next time," he replied.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEOO21Aoarb
I couldn't tell if he 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAtnpSwpnzMO
said that because they were reporters around, or he really did care 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAItfSvjBUjM
despite being mad at me. That, I'll never know.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXawnWWo99R
The four of us walked 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAq21dUHSaJH
out of the conference room and I couldn't help but realise that I had 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA55CWBUC5MB
another challenge ahead now. And that was the song.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAARuxvakOCI
***1051Please respect copyright.PENANAc2V4c2eR6u
"Sam, you were just awesome! Come here, you!" Zoey exclaimed as she ran towards me and pulled me into a tight hug.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2EWyG0NAdb
G-Dragon and I had just walked out of the conference room and Zoey appeared out of no where.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAq0kbk24obR
"I thought you weren't supposed to be here," I said to Zoey, still embraced in her arms.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAf5soWYp8ts
"Well, ya," said Zoey as1051Please respect copyright.PENANAseIOp4smtg
she pulled away from me. "I was watching the interview with the others 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzLM1rHJrMC
upstairs and when I saw how you defended me in front of those reporters,1051Please respect copyright.PENANAJXpLLBzr6h
I decided to come down here."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOZPqHE9Flh
"You should have seen the way she came," said Lee. "If it wasn't for me, she would have come running into the conference room."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4MceaO56Kt
"Zoey, what are you doing here?" came Collins' voice behind me. Yikes! Zoey was in for it now.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAn11Vf1Duo2
"I came for my best friend," said Zoey. "Is that bad?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEqcj6IaOAC
"At the moment, yes," 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFd0Pe9M9cS
said Collins. "Not when everyone now knows that it's all your fault that1051Please respect copyright.PENANARZhUsQMvXI
you released the video and made everyone have high hopes about Sam and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAhpsGTa6UJM
G-Dragon's relationship. It was best to keep you out of plain site of 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAqusM3NgLjf
the reporters to keep them from asking any more questions."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMWxOG2TwFi
"Come on, Collins," said1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHmTKEPdq01
Zoey, shaking her head at her manager. "Don't you know up to now that 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAStiXs853YG
whatever Sam says to the media everyone will listen and believe her? No 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAuODZV8OhCe
one is going to be mad at me for long if not at all. You'll see."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIL1lQe5F6G
"I don't get it," I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAVaheXS8mwh
said, with a confused look on my face. "Why do you say no one is going 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxj5NrwiHqW
to be mad at you because of what I said?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZuzWRgMZPv
"You told the media that1051Please respect copyright.PENANARM1E8yQhpU
even though I made the video, it was partly not all my fault. If you 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEdVDQa3uRn
want, Collins, you and I can bet on it. Everyone listens to Sam. She's 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9VOUik5NMV
like some high-rank public figure. If she were to run for president, she1051Please respect copyright.PENANAgaNzLB2zrH
would be instated the very same day."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6lWmJEk2aa
Yang Hyun-suk, Lee, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAS0PVMMjxmY
G-Dragon and I laughed at Zoey's joke, except Collins. I knew he was 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAuoGKXdq3ad
pissed with what Zoey had said, but I had to admit, that was something 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEfrK4OKWy6
even an angry person would laugh about.1051Please respect copyright.PENANARK42xUZXCM
Speaking about angry 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6zqpgtpbiE
people, I turned over to G-Dragon who was still laughing. It felt good 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAis8kGMfHHx
to see him laugh and I smiled. But very soon, he will be back to the way1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAg4MQYasPS
he was. Just the thought of that made me swell up with sadness that I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA64hMIGT4rm
even had to face the other way so that no one would notice it all over 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2iFrsqlMyy
my face.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdy323e178q
"Zoey is one person you 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoD02TLbSD3
should never throw away in your life, Collins," said Yang Hyun-suk, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0nFc0jCCAB
holding Collins' shoulder with a bit of laughter on his face. "She's 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAUfpYfXCh6e
just hilarious."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8bQKzCXuss
"Ya, she's one of a kind," said G-Dragon.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoxmRli8KiN
"Ah, and how could I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfrdeJRRVpU
forget about my lovely G-Dragon," said Zoey, as she came to stand beside1051Please respect copyright.PENANAULXaBUbEiq
G-Dragon and hooked her hand around his elbow. "You looked awesome 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKhs82AYb30
today. And handsome too."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAz94Snn1YdU
"Wow, looks like Sam was right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "You do admire G-Dragon."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKTw5YYdFWq
"Ya, no one knows me better than Sam," said Zoey with a grin. "If it were possible, I would gladly have dated G-Dragon."1051Please respect copyright.PENANArOs9U0u726
"Don't even think about it," said Collins, pointing a finger at Zoey.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ8yu06qwz
"I know. 'We're here 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAYtkzXqgSfY
just to collaborate with BigBang, yadda, yadda, that means no dating 1051Please respect copyright.PENANADTDZ7pc52O
anyone of them.' I still remember that rule," said Zoey rolling her 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAaIIVxJw3g4
eyes.1051Please respect copyright.PENANArKEUKyhc2b
"Sometimes I wish I could kill you," said Collins, shaking his head.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAP4VXgZjTZJ
"But you can't, because you love me just as I love you, Collins," said Zoey, with a huge grin on her face.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxvl55iMweZ
"Hilarious," said Yang 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKLOmnE6GIk
Hyun-suk. "We better get going. You three have to get that song ready, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvWwHF5yVwz
while we, have other things to attend to."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAm3smPziqCZ
Oh, the song. For a 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbC7amUS3Q2
moment, I never wanted Yang Hyun-suk or anyone else to mention it. I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAgcaXfFLMhs
felt my heart beat faster and I felt like judgement day had finally 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAf4ibmv9Vib
come.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAceMhxkqn1o
We all found ourselves 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAUb9gvppdAf
in the elevator and I was quiet the whole way. The two managers were 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbyFyRTn83m
busy talking about something important, while Lee, G-Dragon and Zoey 1051Please respect copyright.PENANARM6LbgqDgf
were talking about the interview.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAik9tzlOyPF
When the elevator 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA62hDu1S08u
stopped, Zoey, G-Dragon and I got out and we dropped off on the floor to1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5urVWG1BSV
the recording studios. Our managers and Lee continued on their way 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAmugHTqE8Ke
upwards in the elevator probably heading for Yang Hyun-suk's office.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAo3gnmIgw7E
While the three of us 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAiYy2ra4uEZ
walked along the hallway, heading for one of the rooms, I couldn't help 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAqg6KA7YUrl
but fall behind G-Dragon and Zoey as the two walked ahead of me 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOARZAVgs38
alongside each other. The two were so deep in their own little 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAK8e4vFwb6Z
conversation, I didn't feel like listening or joining them. At that 1051Please respect copyright.PENANASqKoOS0uT6
point, I felt like I didn't matter.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZKWozFyZLI
We found ourselves in one of the recording studio rooms and we found all our group members waiting for us.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdMSp3THjme
"You're back!" Christine1051Please respect copyright.PENANAyElH3AgnL5
ran towards us, coming straight for me and pulling me into a hug. "You 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8nox6B93Ks
were so brave standing up for Zoey like that."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIF1hZl9Isz
"You know I don't like interviews," I said, trying to put up a smile. "I was actually scared."1051Please respect copyright.PENANALVfy3rIx77
"You didn't seem that way," said Taeyang. "You looked very calm as though you knew what you were doing."1051Please respect copyright.PENANALapsvrt7AH
"And you also looked very pretty," said TOP, giving me a wink.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0bk6YYv00O
"Um, th-thanks," I said while my cheeks blushed after Christine had pulled away from me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAd6u4AWtYZ0
"Ya, you're looking 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAiS4UPBmuJq
prettier even now," said Seungri, staring at me with dreamy eyes. "I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEQwkXaESfn
would've come down there in the conference room and kissed you in front 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAClS6fwwWlW
of the whole world."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8fEaNhikMx
Daesung who stood beside1051Please respect copyright.PENANAO1JmVswSSg
him slapped him on the shoulder. Seungri whined in pain while he held 1051Please respect copyright.PENANATKX7kqSW5z
his shoulder and stared at Daesung.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAy9txMvMeCK
"What?" Seungri asked. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANANbQZKSLi88
"You only want to cause trouble, do you? You should learn to respect Sam, you know," said Daesung.1051Please respect copyright.PENANATPxPwchQH0
I couldn't help but get the feeling that Daesung was a little jealous. I couldn't help but smile to myself.1051Please respect copyright.PENANALqccNhBive
"Hello! Isn't anyone going to talk about the little scene that happened at the end of the interview?" Daniel asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2Tt9jolOya
"Oh, the part where 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8Crso07qmk
G-Dragon saves Sam from falling?" Zoey asked. "If you're worried that 1051Please respect copyright.PENANApzZ6pdkPoV
people would find that romantic, I highly doubt it."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4BuChXxEmC
Highly doubt it? If 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAw06wnEzdlO
Daniel was thinking the same way I had earlier, people would start to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEOT46dBbGX
make up a love story that barely even existed.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXBVKqcIIg9
"Well, fans do like to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMon1wqhzYn
make out a love story out of small things," said Taeyang, scratching his1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQwSBDoCT5S
head. "I wouldn't be surprised if that happens."1051Please respect copyright.PENANADU8EtHWGTy
Oh, no. Looked like 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZyjpRfTYk
Taeyang was also on this one too. I wished for someone to change the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5QAVnOIzPQ
subject. This was starting to feel awkward, especially with G-Dragon 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAorAw78yGNr
standing right in front of me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdlMPvDEAYa
I stared at G-Dragon and1051Please respect copyright.PENANAsstGKbJze2
I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't want to hear a 1051Please respect copyright.PENANALmyViNjfGV
single word concerning love stories. We had other serious things to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEFXJfgldEE
think about.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAmF3oYwcW65
"Can we drop that for 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwDZ4L6Zqfz
now and focus on the song instead?" G-Dragon suggested. "We don't have 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA23de9t9Aj8
much time and we need to work on it right away."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIbFAkqJepA
"GD's right," I said. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8aZBoNrU9L
"We all saw the reporter ask on how much progress we've made and Collins1051Please respect copyright.PENANAVUMvLjRnrk
made an effort to cover for us. So, for the sake of our managers, let's1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAeUWv21ylD
get to work."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHiwKiDbrgi
"But we have to vote again, remember?" TOP reminded us. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOoZ1bsfQNr
Everyone fell silent and1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzG3oMPpfCt
the room felt awkward. It was like the ghost of yesterday still haunted1051Please respect copyright.PENANAYVE4iLVISr
us even now. Again, I still felt like it was all my fault.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxx9YexjCn2
"Well, we all agreed yesterday to vote again," said G-Dragon. "So let's get settled and get this over with."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAYbXy0pPj6b
When everyone went to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAnsEngqF0hk
settle down on the black leather seats, I stood on the same spot, deep 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWgEyfNVGK7
in thought. Was all of this worth it? The last thing I wanted was for 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzw4wOBtLXQ
all of us to be divided because of my stupid suggestion. Maybe I was 1051Please respect copyright.PENANArTt7IhnaRR
wrong this whole time and I shouldn't have done all of this in the first1051Please respect copyright.PENANA483tPgr6Zh
place.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbzmZ7EtrXl
"Hey, Sam are you alright?" TOP asked. "You seem troubled."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAothNUmfq6M
I came back to reality and I saw everyone staring at me with worried looks on their faces, except G-Dragon.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAPwTjfuSp13
"Sam, are you okay?" Zoey asked when I didn't answer. "Something is up and you don't look so good. Tell us. What's wrong?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxLfKUVnC8H
I still didn't say a 1051Please respect copyright.PENANArJ35N9ib4I
word as I played around with my fingers. I took in a deep breath and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAgwdUQz430C
breathed out with my eyes closed, clenching my hands into fists. When I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvDg3wzYyEP
opened my eyes, I looked on at the others and said:1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8sldTvR5Cs
"This voting thing is 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdbe7oAEuq2
pointless. I take back what I said yesterday. It's for the best if 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWyLUI3Z9mW
G-Dragon and I work on the lyrics for the song instead."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9OJXhYqHF9
Again, the room fell 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAComB3i38dD
into an awkward silence. Everyone's eyes were on me and they looked 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAiA2HkArgv9
surprised, except for G-Dragon. I couldn't tell whether he was smirking 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAiP7kIiDw8w
or he decided to play stoic for a change.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAsawT5alrth
"Wait, what?" Daniel asked. "Why?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAsKB8o0lvd4
"Because, Daniel, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAPt4LjyUlZh
nothing is going to change," I said, looking at my brother. "The same 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA39gzLtOvV5
thing will happen even today when we vote. It will end up in a tie 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAivFN5HL76V
again. So, what's the point? I bet a lot of you have thought of it the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOxMgDiUpE5
same way, haven't you?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZIUr5EpzQO
No one said a word as they all looked at each other, apart from G-Dragon, who still had his eyes on me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAncubjSdXKc
"I think it's best this 1051Please respect copyright.PENANADOAtoZgutd
way," I said, grabbing everyone's attention again. "We're going nowhere 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEfKIJirNyZ
like this and I should have realised it sooner."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6pCI89f85
"Well, it's about time you came to your senses," said G-Dragon.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAtvpH8MtNWf
I felt like I had been given a slap on the face. And OUCH! It hurt like hell. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjAQyNh4vhu
"That's a little harsh, don't you think?" I asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAukkoCskIPi
"Well, it's true, isn't it?" G-Dragon asked, with his eyebrows raised.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAgcKv3dIpie
"Well, at least I'm bold enough to even admit that I was wrong."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEmVLDb7mEv
"And you want me to give you credit for that, Samantha?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwzNBa5djvG
Samantha? Really? He 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXDQ751uWzg
called me by my full name. Okay, it was clear he was still mad, but he 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ9HR6AzKl
shouldn't be expressing his anger in front of everyone else like that. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4vc1vVG4Sd
He should be doing it to me and me alone. I was ready for what's to 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2v9zzdiWBE
come, but not with our group members around.1051Please respect copyright.PENANABNN55uKJfS
"I don't think we should argue here," I said. "Why don't we go some place else and talk?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAy9h4YztAWC
"And why should we?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANARGP2Wme5K6
"It's not right and you know it. If you want to get personal with me, at least do it with no one around."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAM46fe3TPgk
"Oh, and now you're trying to play the good girl trying not to hurt anyone else?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKrKNke7iNX
"That's what I'm meant to do, GD. This isn't right."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4kWcNsZQhV
"Sorry, Sam, but I'm 1051Please respect copyright.PENANALUgKVjMnKh
rather comfortable here," G-Dragon leaned back on the chair with his 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAuUpw4K5CW1
hands behind his head and crossing his leg above the other.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoDdZrksyLL
I shook my head in 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZKlsQ8Qlso
disbelief. G-Dragon was totally unbelievable. Right now, I wasn't sure 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAH0Fq2dFvdz
whether to hate him or just feel sorry for him.1051Please respect copyright.PENANArWafHQn9Af
"Fine, then we'll stay here then," I said.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAR9uGZnxKw7
"That's more like it," said G-Dragon, with a smirk on his face. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAClsL5hHqfg
"You're so stubborn," I rolled my eyes at him.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAcInFOZ6j0Q
"Ya, well, I was born this way."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbcgglE7TDa
"Can we please start working on the song now?" I asked. "It seems like we don't have much time left."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAhb7BEafRhb
"Okay, let's start."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGCBogXYGcb
"Umm, sorry to interfere1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7LNjPv8Ebk
in all of this, but are you serious right now?" Zoey asked, looking 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEOeK8vYMsr
surprised and confused at the same time.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4axm9ul3ka
"What's wrong?" G-Dragon asked, shrugging his shoulders.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAh3r0CMzTrt
"I don't know if you are1051Please respect copyright.PENANAz2DfbjClgF
seeing this, but you two look like you're about to tear each other's 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAySZDekDOst
throats out. Doesn't that bother you? And you want to work on the song 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHWsyWLSUQ8
together? Today?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAlIAOLyso6z
Zoey was right. What was happening now looked more like the beginning of World War III, if not the end of the world.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAybKe2bRuev
"I'm sorry, Zoey," I said. "But do we have a choice?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANArVb4sz1kka
"Well, I have one. Why 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0PkqLDsTib
don't you two take a break from each other? You're scaring me and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXP5BpaCVJB
probably the whole lot of us too. Why don't you two cool down and work 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEcWaP93Lyk
on the song tomorrow?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAv0yH02300D
"Zoey's right," said Taeyang. "You two need to chill out. You both seem angry at each other."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAR9I2ubWDjY
"I'm not the angry one, he is," I said, pointing my finger at G-Dragon. "I'm just being reasonable!"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGFQDprjUnc
"I know, Sam. You've 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA474giTQINT
both agreed to work on the song together, but you can't go on like this.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAz6vQLk6kG5
Who knows what may happen if we leave you two alone."1051Please respect copyright.PENANARDPDa0gLKl
"Tae is right," said Mike. "I don't want to go back home with your beheaded dead body. Mum will kill us."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHYTg6fhuUF
"Okay, fine," I said, rubbing my temples and taking a deep breath. "You're right. Even I can't work like this."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4LdRjotaEi
I tried to calm myself 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoAnQjh8cBe
down, trying to clear my head. I let my anger get the better of me. In 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMlYLASazaE
fact, I couldn't tell if all this was anger or I was just annoyed 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAlFcKLS9dsn
because G-Dragon was acting bigheaded.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAme2rV10TU6
"Looks like we will work1051Please respect copyright.PENANAllJhnWxSTf
on it tomorrow then," said G-Dragon as he slowly got up from his seat. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGantU3iooq
And with his hands in the pockets of his jeans, he slowly walked towards1051Please respect copyright.PENANAayiABTZO81
me.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ahlmnpwuv
The last thing I wanted 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAAABD1rztA
was a face to face confrontation with him because if he was going to do 1051Please respect copyright.PENANABlD6KPh1TQ
or say something funny, I didn't know what I was going to do. But no. I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAqxMBCjBsjx
wasn't going to let my anger get the better of me again. I didn't want 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAhA8QAyMReQ
to be angry at him. If there was anyone to be angry at, it was myself.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAiEuMEt9YGN
G-Dragon came close and 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6SVs4gV43D
he stared at me with his intimidating eyes. At first, those eyes used to1051Please respect copyright.PENANArqiDSZTMAn
make me melt like jelly, but now, I couldn't tell where that feeling 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAcCMYn8nuOx
went. Maybe it's because those eyes weren't there to intimidate but they1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGS4ni5CHXq
were full of anger too.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkyIAtJXGXl
He stopped a few inches 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAUrEhpWo4Sn
away from me and I didn't back away. Earlier on, I would. But this time,1051Please respect copyright.PENANAcjW7iVLvVN
I wasn't afraid anymore. I was tired of being scared.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6qK1O1deo0
"We'll meet tomorrow soon after practise, capish?" G-Dragon asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3BgvIe41Df
"Capish," I replied, without any hint of emotion.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXYIHcNmcOV
"Good. You better get some aspirin and rest. It looks like your head is about to explode and we don't want that, do we?"1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6AeVrVUv1
"No, we don't."1051Please respect copyright.PENANABEQmzegRd7
"That's my little 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAsKKZosddrj
kitty." G-Dragon smiled at me and walked away, our shoulders brushing 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFpxFA2c6eS
each other, and he went out through the door.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAql96pNvI7p
"Well, that was close," said TOP. "For a second, I thought this whole place was about to blow up."1051Please respect copyright.PENANABMcOtH7Wk5
"Ya, I thought I was going to watch a Mortal Kombart fight," said Mike.1051Please respect copyright.PENANACjhEEOadDf
"Seriously? You're 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjnpVXVyqbt
bringing Mortal Kombart into this?" I asked Mike with my eyebrow raised.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAE5Nn9Qjkms
Somehow, I wanted to laugh at the joke, but I couldn't.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAG48zC41ayX
"Come to think of it," 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHAu7m9iJG9
said Zoey, staring at Mike. "You're right. Remind me of those two 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9T9FExB4Kl
characters that hate each other so much."1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAlNNAAXHLu
"Scorpion and Subzero," said Daniel.1051Please respect copyright.PENANASkV0KrTofV
"So, in this case, Scorpion is G-Dragon," said Seungri, who seemed to be enjoying himself with this.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfTnBNpHMul
"Ya, it suits him since Scorpion and dragon kind of go together because of fire," said Daesung.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIX2e1UXPTg
"Guys, are you seriously listening to yourselves right now?" I asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6J90iFjAoJ
But no one answered me as they continued their Mortal Kombart fantasy.1051Please respect copyright.PENANABlLwHyaUlk
"And Sam is Subzero," said Daniel.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOrxn5t4KEp
"Ya, because she is all cool and chilled like ice and doesn't crack under pressure," said TOP.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAG8sHZDmCba
"True, but also because Subzero is her favourite Mortal Kombart character," said Christine.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0RoHg6P2qd
"Oh, ya, I forgot about that," said Mike.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHYqNxTGYNw
This was getting ridiculous and I shook my head in disbelief.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAVpVL8MlyDs
"So this whole thing is like a fire and ice relationship?" Taeyang asked.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAazlaV0AaTk
Oh great! Not Taeyang too! The argument G-Dragon and I had created a story in these guy's heads.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA1rG8tH2ga1
"Ya, I'm already 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAce1RKaVAbP
imagining it," said Zoey, staring off into a distance, obviously in her 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAmRGfMfHORB
imagination. "G-Dragon and Sam, like Scorpion and Subzero."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5KzLXcnR2B
"Ya, I can imagine it too," said Mike, also staring off into a distance.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKnnibA1v07
"Sam looks so hot in her Subzero outfit," said Seungri, also deep in thought and biting his lower lip.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAq0li5t6D5h
"So hot," said TOP, nodding his head absent mindley.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEnACTPUMEk
"So does GD in Scorpion's outfit," said Zoey.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAklIuqdooag
"Ya, their relationship is now like fire and ice," said Daesung. "Let's just see who wins."1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6P4aW4Z8KW
As I watched the others 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFSyyYKzUtK
share out their silly ideas of how the fight would turn out, I couldn't 1051Please respect copyright.PENANASQsDE980LW
help but realise that they were right. Right now, GD and I weren't okay 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAurDuLbBAEq
at all. To the outside world, we were friends, but to ourselves and our 1051Please respect copyright.PENANA1T0ozgZWeP
closet friends, we weren't. One moment we were smiling at each other but1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7W3Ih99B62
soon afterwards we were fighting again.1051Please respect copyright.PENANA1ABdIxTDRq
I didn't know how all 1051Please respect copyright.PENANADPacdrbx1A
this was going to end, but if G-Dragon and I didn't resolve our issue 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAikie5IRQQ2
soon, we might not just hurt each other but also the people around us, 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAPG4DLiYICr
especially our group members. And I wasn't going to let that happen.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWOHj8VrsqZ
If that was the case, I 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAYPmbhvmPR
had to win this no matter what. I didn't care if I was going to end up 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxwKBE75SbM
getting burnt. I created this mess and I had to fix it no matter the 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAryTxyWdvfu
cost. Even if it meant I had to play along like the others. That 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKfOvx1PVMU
G-Dragon is Scorpion and I am Subzero.1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMaL9UA1aVP
That he is fire and I am ice.
