Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 15: Fire At YG

My body ached all over 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGNXvMs6fO
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnw2h3sRus
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2owPplfwzC
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8DWIesEwn
bed.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXLPAGa034

I scratched my head as I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gPE8IUeof
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6t0Q4NXey
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv88JTfOrV
he found me here.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpwUbfFSCR

I slowly stood up and I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e64dXc9wp
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs5cOwNdDR
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczVgBpoXpN
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0jFaRMlPD

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSofSmeyjgQ

I almost jumped in 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbS86imvB0
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx3XqSmjMD
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUknq5f8FS
obviously reading the news online.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuIZ0orFeH

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PXu5L19eW

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4WtrKZOow

"'Don't tire yourself 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDzXnq613e
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJvpOwDASL
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaFUqJtFB8

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb62ZR7sXQO

"Oh, you were listening?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTHJDNkgBU

"Ya, you kept on playing1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7U36tu63f
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdS6F2jU7d
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMFzSfC9PN

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoMuUOURee

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ks7RDkae5

"For covering me with a blanket."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRy4sNrure

Collins looked at me 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ime4MYnFj
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ek8wMAxyz
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdM4wjlhTL

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmBtYgVLcv

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f4BU8zptn

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUWcLBrMsU

"Me too."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnXw7WqmNz

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbtvIdAlhp

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcoiUijBkh

"Going to take a shower," I said.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVA4ita2Ve

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHXGJBGiXa

After I freshened myself1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoANOgq1FDo
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhFaYxUwJN
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrLROqlC15
Collins was still on his tablet.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFLQIglwTR

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3Z54iJ4pI

"Nope. Just looking at 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpeZT16JEV
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluDO9aMurV
coming back late at night with the others."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTeETbNoDG

"Are they having a good time?" I got a slice of bread that laid on the middle of the table and was applying marmalade on it.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZajOm42vIB

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGoJDA7xcs

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUi1HAeiOt

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSy030SYC0

Collins handed his 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CCARfBbfD
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHXTgQc2zY
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5lIFMDKDz
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdedmMG1uVj
having a great time.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3uBWzLPQh

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jVWHaaYqA

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMgHL97gEX

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y0LR0qaHU

"They should have as 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjjzsl8qAc
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN8RrOrxYI
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNTJPj1ayj

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlEe8hT8Wd

"No, it's not about the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBGLgJJ8BY
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXRQjevkbl
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZpuaxrzbg

I looked at Lee who sat 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh7IS0Y4MD
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzfNsUtGn8
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm5TaHt3OY
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHXkHSUH86

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBcDzSYwPH

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdskLYqGOZS

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRNuyOA2z9

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyNbkFM3cA

"If I tell you, I'll 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUtpeDfgiS
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SSnOxoGbr
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRBSFBhbKP

Collins got up from his 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ1G2Dm2C4
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTxS8IsWzC
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6V03MhSwR
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi3R20Gg0v

"What do you know?" I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzSbGhzMfI
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e36OdSXp9
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63y6tlFEWy
detective asking questions to a criminal.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Ah6u3Tcx

"I don't know," Lee 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3jwMTxipd
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76FJOHFoST
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA8jQugKDz

I knew something was up 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE04wsXqV3B
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqVGqcdSkM
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqF72jE7Nj

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbWtrO0OHJ

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyoTdrjMFC

"Well, hopefully." I blew out a puff of air and shook my head as I thought of what happened to G-Dragon and I yesterday.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVok0acjChF

"Hey, what's wrong?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhDAWrFsnB

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkT4sQZRBa

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWMHQxGj6T

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEXCfeW1vj

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqqzPnD3mx

"Well, kind of," I said 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHSl9NBQkm
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqewsbUaza
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0l9mnPmrL

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHRpd6mXS8

"Okay."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iaLrE8m54

I was just done eating my breakfast when Collins came to tell us that it was time to go. I carried the guitar and my notebook.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK1xlP5fCk

Lee, Collins and I soon 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqqrHhL4vx
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthLdCvC98o
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2vf2fm05N
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsK4KWHjjV
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8n9SaSZ2D
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD8p0KAu5L

I was waiting in th 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhONqiUJYY
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWzCxenycN
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7l5HZ938V
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHnigWoVrE
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3guV4luJm

I was pacing up and down1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zpzl1fq9a
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdMzGelgBU
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aHNjD3klJ
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce1cMb9cvA
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM2a2x38rA
and I was so nervous.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOngVEArij

"Here she is," said Lee,1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx03fsdo1BL
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4iYS6lsFJ
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6mJ5gSXuQ
you, Tae."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzF68U71V6

I frowned at Lee and I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB9uL7q5lk
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyo6VFVUFq
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oqgwb6sno
friend.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bdqXEplXS

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Ra1DsiPy

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sed623CSn

"I told Taeyang that I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDlqk07NI9
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLeNXXDBXV
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMh4AIzGfN

"Our manager called me 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7348DAVtwK
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8a5Zeykdl
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvLHtT1lIz
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JAyJUt491

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4ns4NU1Tf

"I'll go and check on the managers and see what's taking them so long," said Lee as she started to head out of the room.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFM8U5VooB

I wanted to call out to her and tell her to let it be. I didn't want our managers here just yet. But she had already left.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UnRxcJJ0Y

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OjMT7AqAn

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZaYVZm9fE

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlegbTzNqWN

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazpjsJJVrX

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs63zdbWGCR

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFagQz9LE8r

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmXuw3HUsm

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiKUU8peB8

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNbE5lTEWi

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXwTVjdsDw

"Sure."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAfvc9KRa5

I gave Taeyang my 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW3MV8Sgwg
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOTxZ6HQ3S
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IwHm5rMK0
cute together.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATvpR65ZRS

"I can't wait for you to sing the song for us," said Hyo-rin as she looked at me. "The lyrics sound really good."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZFn9lKoEW

"Thanks. I was singing 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe0oy7Udht
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDmaaQs1FE
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8FqE4RYYT
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrSOkQ9yqy

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqFGPa5p03

"Well...not really," I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r4QSGWKNk
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z3tSeUcis
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb25EEhssRu

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vEr0Fw4us

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5ykxDrqKa

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM9KVKynwl

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCWg4gW1OR

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz5SYwDDX8

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bUtAu8RfJ

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2aHIzRGBs

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15w8IaQHJ3

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMH0DBPMNi

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgdkzMHAjD

"Right now."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBrCljtPK5

We all turned towards 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNMJbwUNFp
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMetBmhlxK
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjEcDZoR97

When everyone got 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaZGkX9Gl8
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSS5BkdGtp
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc2roySvaI
run out of the room.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEymSIA18F

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4bq65aCqY

I nodded my head and my 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRmYMeFmil
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbRTS2QGH3
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSWArRlCZX
ever got to play it.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QeQEWue9L

I felt a break of sweat 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR5ySUKeXj
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvwqzCt9mZ
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVteXJxUpr
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuOIRdJFsi
strung the strings on the guitar.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK62j1EMbB

I started to sing as I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK9r70uVuk
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO2sNmMFSQ
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zWvfZvZ88
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv0DJaNg14
didn't. Well, I hope so.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKIb6vEeSG

As soon as I was done 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewzOMB4yxX
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVIaLplTTk
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKHTTlnsbt
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVU2fzVD3f
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOc6QFFiKx
hoped they liked it.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3gB6VgNRh

The studio was still 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6cGz5UK1Q
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrOiZr8jZ5
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBOg1Ti9Z4
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO9cUzgf7e

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfdnA186ow
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt4nZqUXwJ
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsbdy9PGnr

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqQTaq5kdI

This was it. The hammer 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VPXbvQnNm
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sEr3P5osZ
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgZdOkinNB

"....incredible."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZRIwkCTuI

I opened my eyes and I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZOFK4Io6I
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbHxi8Ezul
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHID3BKkmi
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJQK5KcMec
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqF3nZZIru

"I've to admit, when 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZe1wXNrzx
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02qo1Xl9R4
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yv1Md9IEA

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMM0EzcuLU

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOSewmDLWW

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPemwIHC45v

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T6vT6WPs2

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizTHtT2vl9

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulgtVvage3

I couldn't stop smiling 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEz0Veur5X
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfYIQQ0UMd
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nY5zzYgDW
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmniMFCSD8
good voice and a golden one.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpBOoBaB64

Immediately our managers1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmM7jTK3ZM
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOrBhfin5C
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAHn8PploM
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RJ53t2D18
musical instruments.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFOXMfAe5q

This was always the hard1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ko4FYOOo
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJEJcZ8Ckf
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacrC1EPXvC
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtTeQZZYfB
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfQmBk8AEm

An hour had passed and I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQZvjEthlz
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwa8LvZhOQ
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDwXhEkdzQ
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AnWRJPBxC
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrzLMIxSIr
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm4mAqPBTw

"It's been an hour and I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FfsF7eUKf
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKDXnLQYeT
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV1Yvo1m9M

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj8T50dqBB

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCLs9leu0H

"Trust me, you're so 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8yOweUGa1
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8DEjoODO6
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGHIxFQtww

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbOKx8PXZI

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzgFKP1MPh

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLlNYHLjPb

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACbYqapWJq

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWffHIc8U8W

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdis3hp0X2

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2ecGwZD34

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IRRXEZtBZ
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpOIVrDd5Y
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA5FQJb5yw
masseur."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjYxSXys8D

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj1GYB4Gbu

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMGHjgOKDx

The music producer soon 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH9WFOE7qN
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q2HjDDokG
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM7E8Y5wTM
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57YSUkwABa
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfcqdlK4lZ
recording the track.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIyW6EE9fP

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YVSq34inh

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemDJ3v8Qr9

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXCuVNrHLH

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Tgrf0wYV

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuSRfZg8NM

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeEgTq96lz

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYDEEQct8O
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQueuU9qOZd
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03bZwwS6BE

"Let me guess, you're 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKMgTIicua
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAQ7V4VAZK
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmZTSzYcDP

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJTjyfuC4z

Something told me his 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK4KcTPOUx
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1fHfyTB7j
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat3X7UrhhN
always does.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAlzN1M9NW

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQbGpXFy9k

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20lRtUbZJt

It was late in the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1xyfdbOCz
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWCx7p3t1z
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5leLwamYMG
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEom4qMGYE
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hgsg3Nruo

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYfCEB1Cfj

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMWkByPv3C

I looked beside him and I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAfFK8b2IX
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jwcAN9fpu
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzAYSq7cqC
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EgqlOFHT8
leaning my head on the console.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdVazRF74S

"I always hate this part1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHHZGbQdT2
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzL8PRxLjI
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BGWlJghVA
console.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpmv4kUKQy

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbJZbMm0zw

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW172jDf3TX

"I wonder what time."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG93b9ZuBCm

"Wait." I pushed my head1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkxTfcM58q
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KyhTg4ijM
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntwBNZIAHF
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM2V3saUEY

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN9kj5ZFld

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91eeyCP5Fk

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIczqqSuFSU

"I didn't sleep well 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJAsqbRqqH
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdv8cSz6pp
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrTTpbOcCm

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFtYA74dnc

"You're right." I soon 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpD7wUqhgD
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kVuqFOyR6
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx46Z6osyz

"He said they might come at nine in the evening," I said when I cut the call. I was so sleepy I felt like I couldn't stand up.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M2bhPgaV2

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAFnP92HJD

"Alright. Thanks."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv7eq39sFV

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bhe6U2rs2

"And so will I," said Seungri.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B8kREGGJX

"Guys, it's fine. Taeyang and Hyo-rin will take me," I said with a small smile on my face as I faced Seungri and Daesung.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDKJpdqoHM

Immediately I left the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0I14a2ubm
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wCGLYv9DN
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMtWek04i9

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHvnPNkKaB

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXGF8VI6BT

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAG1oMLjil

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXDa86bMmE
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13j1iF77R7
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmohdjyhyZ

The next thing I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZD3Qq5ABw
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8raE1RX8qp
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj1uLFHz1v
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd2s0kSLQU

I woke up by the sound 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2IZGve0jH
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31D5KV8NTx
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwyDYxzNlG
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3t8GZgTzg
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxdVJqQKOq

I reached out for the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHOvJEaqxK
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsR7ng7rmP
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi07zHsEKC
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyyJRi9Hf1

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C0XnYTZbI

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZBlNlpm4F

"I could hear it ringing1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg98veNPjDQ
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY6VWfwJEQ
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQSIUmH3Lc

"Thanks," I said as I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJXp7DST8c
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZSwYBGN6G
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qzydtIeaE

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ8Rfw9UuI

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNzBTfczs8

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew8SymlCov

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2yiX905Uh

Lee left the room and I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aWpJbc9EW
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsde5oVbuWw
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuO2iluuSN

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoXIUkzIwA

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKZZGaA51N

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2knvp4v8X

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXfG4CFcxB

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28TXRjcGh4

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZDEQieqxU

I dashed over to the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3nLLIVGJK
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB92HMYIP8
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PbpgBQX5K

It was now 10 PM and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2tTISFGJA
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1wMvqQbq9
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDm0QKfNcy
they were right now.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHajHeNEsv

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPboxOOkYb

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5uRBMUshW

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd9UWCGokP

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqlPGpbybm

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRNHJuJctR

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7isYT8tKfN

"True."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBELFRnXWj

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjQc6DLoXh

Two bell boys came out 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZw1daR3AF
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7E2Las0ik
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbSwhQJKn1

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSWSFf30RB

There were so many gift 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrTnMPmfnw
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwcLiUVRvl
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdti2d76ym2
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCxk3KkLGt
so pissed.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oDEn5C5bB

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe0mpN6BGI

"They are downstairs," he answered.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfWvg2otPm

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiPoVLulrD

When the doors flew 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQwp8CMCMz
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZprlG11xA
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiqOpBAiEb
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGuj422j2r

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqwBRk9qiP

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgbGVUX9ln

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTo9Edrq82

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV6gJqyDui

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVSZKvtbr6

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx5iT0h7Cj

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroWNeEwLEw

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO6wvPrZ95

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN9R6eCWjy

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zJfOPUiOp

I raised an eyebrow. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EbB37zEmK
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVc6cg4Eaa
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2BUVvl22c

"Okay. Enough," I said as I shook off Zoey and Christine away from me. "Can someone please tell me why you're acting like this?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwcuiDSzpj

"Everyone just missed 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvfteRyW8m
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16mPMqCeEU
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvln2c4VX6

I rolled my eyes at him,1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXGYV0dj1G
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHBeKRWx3E
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGyS70cxY8
face when I hugged him.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP51P9gxG3L

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmFHLp5jCM

"Wait! You missed TOP 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb0EXS2at4
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM800Ds7th
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpAdarBRdx

I always loved it when 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwAdGgEblR
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56j7G2UBKe
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByE4LGLKq8

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqie4EIi2w

For a moment, that voice1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiaCS6qHcd
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgtGgkNu7s
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATVA33sDAZ
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8QjGSYTyh
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOIC5KCDQc
he was still acting the same way he had left.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp1Rlegjoi

I was really confused. I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0svqRh8Xg
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje0Ohx2Nmi
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuC93YSp7T
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHm08L56f3
personal and it had to do with me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLg2F5h9Fn

I had no other choice 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgjKriboTK
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ251Mdj1LDT
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHFbWxA8LA
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnryMn62AMU

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6MdNlB6Px

By the look on his face,1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx3gklvCqN
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBNZ0CnZzR
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9f0qEV9um
going to end pretty tonight.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIYarJb023

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz94WTTbxxQ

"Ya, I did."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQzjbTKshl

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrEQhO8Bcm

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSeUtPJO8n

"Can't wait to hear it,"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18aPuzssHe
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXafuGuRYO
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZSnQfoQPo

"Anything for you, 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjCckOqPwM
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e5Ep86P6J
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3xUeAoypM
look at Zoey.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KDQQLDXOj

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzS5HS1FiI

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EkcxBUG1U

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qeDqwSuDJ

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EQUEit5vi

"You know Collins is 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMhU68TmvE
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVOQVOK2TF
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyXIOxxrjh
floor.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmu9oLmRzH

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yC4QRUImH

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXtgFMGtG4

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiqbYt7DYj

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE7oZaHUtU

"We better sort out all 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAvJjgTnMp
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbSNmh9IeL
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGAzTPgNRb
floor.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg8nsDdvRg

Sorting out all the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU13QqJajey
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwfjrakFPD
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQITruHxWyc
had really bought a lot of stuff.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjyWLuTp7R

The boys had brought a 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrSVsI4ZZn
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm1nW8trXq
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wyzWekhh0
expensive designer shoes.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6U1K1jzxc

As for Zoey and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuANnaNdDz
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvxKWzteAg
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31fCpDClQX
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1BgZjvBoo

"G-Dragon was helping me1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRkfrlgXbB
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Dj22SmUq
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d1pIqoC6U

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2hTNjAIHp

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV2Q5LRCps

We were sitting on the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxnMrKgyAi
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFwsfwnpsC
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2vrA3OBDq
stuff with Collins' too.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnG57gK9o8

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEc3o9uHbX

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWarOE6f6LU

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YhHgjMJr7

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtrzKgEiaF

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdETbAF9tH

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUv3YnCywa

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5r7JH9Ffd

I distributed the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74HYsFEGSI
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM0MgNyTKQ
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYL8VJUCbv
was meant for me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwVNcwRiOn

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLjYGrPX04

"Don't worry about it," I said as I walked over to her. "We will find it tomorrow. We can't go through all these right now."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgLzG6hmbg

"Ya, you're right," said Zoey. She had a gloomy look on her face. I could tell that she had bought that gift with lots of love.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eO6yskEz1

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT4VNw3BHE

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVNCHVKCSv

For a moment, time 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU16ufbbB7
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHoUYPq8Sn
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTobWpef65
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs8MspMnw4
mess.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95swSLbv86

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytdR61bp01

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJavEivg7ns

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixBfsOKwPV

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE68YnUAqkv

For me, it kind of felt 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhI6W74oCT
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITj1QjIN8a
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIw5Cpxg6n
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42WkcClyJe

When Collins came to the1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfvl8MSdgq
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Jy5csIow
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUu4izMIgs
he just couldn't.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vUz7oN118

"Hey, Collins," I said.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeBQbvarxq

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl9E784NQD

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KO534lwVL

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf4Fmc4JAB

"Thanks."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTxaGiT3OK

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySP0G7Q1KM

"Who?" I asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85KYf1rQfj

"You know who I'm talking about."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3L6UorT8d

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XDIqn8L2V

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGBabh6Ja7

Collins went over to the1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AOw8bz0hf
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W8UdFNG8B
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhSRL6tRAO
up at him.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDVC94P9rQ

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoHNdJJkl9

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1iek8mcNl

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqGjhNLWRB

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjvuzvP0gp

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0jCf0gzKG

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOWTmXkEMa

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9T7xsG3SB

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbrSDDH73c

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBf3rIwunG

"Ya, most of the stuff weren't bought by us, you know? If it came to the designer clothes, it was all from Chanel," said Zoey.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNrJFU3skP

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeQvf4iqWa

"Here, we brought you an1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrMyNMEb6Q
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4XvbM1sBR
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusqpDtvO7B

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zt4pmdmSF

"Thanks," said Collins, 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9mB3Kag3e
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHqRhfIWzl
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wzUBdrSma

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oi8KPqSTo

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUo8zICWce

Lee was right. Collins 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A4fJptqsB
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgfDnBaexi
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3UBHVXrya
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhquGjrKjsZ
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLxlMjSeug
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFbfeFtLrV

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC4jUcoed2

We continued sorting out1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX8RgZ7S0B
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhKdmK8kgM
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tCfEsNCuk
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsdNS2zmKV
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbhUsSfFMN
already too late and we all needed to rest.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwY22wAYKx

We hadn't managed to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ0EXdkLIa
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL64awlTc2h
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO0dSXDPgU
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx6pFoHFHh
course.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oHU5o8GIc

When we were all done and had retired to our rooms, Zoey quickly pushed me into the room when I was just coming into the room.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EoRQMOZmC

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuOUD40Fua

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VzhfBYI4S

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iameeERLx

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjCbjDHJgc

I looked at her with an 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5b3sCkdv7
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEaQxW4GCP
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sVnY0PDhU

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHDzawemV7

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y7Emq0cwV

"Fine?" I looked at 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePD6Y9E3BZ
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLzs53WcYP
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbYJwdNWpR
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrHg4R2zvM

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIyVVB7f5Q

"Tell me, please!" I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAfwJxm0xA
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAh3cG8xdt
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHfweTvcT2
tell me something. So tell me!"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusABDb8pqW

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83xcC9t7AR

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcbbg9G27H

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy2MEnQ3zJ

"Hello! Earth to Zoey!" I snapped my fingers in front of Zoey's face. "You look so lost. Please tell me what's bothering you."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xOTAJXvwZ

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84SChoWO7y

I felt really excited 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW6VrPQ8uC
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMhgmqx4n2
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPVXP0l0ii

"I don't know how I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxwNZlFqDZ
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwQiBVV20M
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BZ8LFDCWH
Tower."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE7WvVMYyJ

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ8NHQ9BgV
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjAL67eU5r
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkppzQ3m61

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULXTXHb3bZ

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBZeptMirb

"So we got to the Tower and we were having a good time as usual." Zoey paused as she licked her lips. "Then something happened."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmmSudBzWY

"What?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgWD7nQcfd

"When we got to the top 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7tK7v2sWc
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQb45mu8fT
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY1cdtuAIo
others had left and it was just GD and I."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8IXk21qLa

My eyes grew wide. I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiM2oyRWVn
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dPvK6bfxl
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbC9DOEpa5

"You two kissed."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuw4NBHuOD

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Te4SBevG

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0jdnqAv9O

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQsmskoxoz

"Well, you were in one 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW2IbfNaqC
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVbb9mOZDf
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET197k3ktq

"Smart."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKBaJ9n04y

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Qvskl9y0

Zoey smiled like a fool,1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg4FWd1w66
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XNYs7c8LK
it was so magical at the same time."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyRyI9gM12

I couldn't help but 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0djMydHCxM
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE1cRSJNIx
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSmh5zP1hY
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJUcr4Cyrz
everyone at the prom.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCNLJoDEAD

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg56l7S25YG

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf4H6H7rzE

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Vv5zn5va

"And? Anything else? 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvKY1LP58c
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3m1AXXc4m
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC1Bwc8TUI

"When we were on top of 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zGkuGnrw9
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwr76iUtxD
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYLgQzd2Rt

Well that's a bummer. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtslRTob6nY
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q9rANaQW4
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtmvcOktFF
really liked Zoey and not me?1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8zkGGExvS

I brushed that off. Why 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal4vGKE5cx
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmMCI9lvMS
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz40DCVZP2
hopes up with it.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d4SqIczEJ

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaW2cv8l6v

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2OaXB55Xg

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUJalfloaQ

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiTyyLEKSG

"Thanks, Sam."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMSImxMgym

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8kkzQxGKG

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QDsLqtnFb

I left Mr Panda on the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROhQiT0wTa
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqegkB8KPl
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGBwtd07TX
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyiXqGZKlm
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlZ5prui8u

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8t7nsC9AB

"Good night," she replied. She turned to the other side to flip the switch beside the bed on the wall and the room went dark.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLJl4xcBx1

I laid my head on the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFPeCZGuvA
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5k97ym0jn
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfALBfjW7DG
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTKRkbNjaU
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQTlJc1OvA
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFLrc7etqe
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss6auch4GL
have been.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAew7Ec2kuz

Zoey would have only 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4zVqJN9Xf
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqBzPqlKQd
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW6nRa02gr
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4FrUmvHFk

To be honest, I was happy for Zoey. And when I heard her giggling again, I realised that I wouldn't want to hurt her.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRWbmn8wlN

I pulled Mr Panda closer1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZJeRNa1MU
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0ig8r3PJr
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JuGpgFkNZ

***1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE69xjk8kO

I was given a round of 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibqQh5jtNM
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipTSrC3twz
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJWCSyTJUn
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmDjHgbfCY

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwG7sy4xAm

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNBUpS7QJw

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGP5aDQUEe

"Then you better eat 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI10Crq219
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXE0qVmwjC
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MLOUO6xsg

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoSDcFCgff

"I can't wait for us to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnu7R8OPci
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0BU9WfjyS
beside me. I could only tell why.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTcocTKXsS

Christine who sat 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Ljdp4jF4
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJP5HGyE0l
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRL0VGUqQD
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzx5RMH1kj
and G-Dragon.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31nSoYWOzF

When we were done 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MKpi7Ugh1
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Y0au1BSM
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEfkoZgB5g

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKzGvKXfP7

"What is it, Zoey?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB6WTcpa2j

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVwT8DcXl5

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiqsAAK5lU

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFQe1npkdq

"That's the problem," 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiegkrxpvJn
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4rKta6w21
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPBZQTxOwY
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd5USTQV7h

Mike turned away and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeTcRPh41j
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdnDwU1tEN
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRa5K1gydd
something?1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T6I0NJPUs

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pDLk0pQ0f

We agreed with Christine1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRxdYQOjbu
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUiujpoHAw
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1DX4GS6WT
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfsQRDSrdQ

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2kTMuySfs

"Hey, how are you," said G-Dragon as he came and gave her a hug. I bypassed them heading to the couch sitting next to Daesung.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3wbhrp2lx

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqAAAnIX3p

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdJBoJW4DD

"I also feel like I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWJZD2QNFT
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGybRel3nA
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rSFoCanJM
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu0kizrExR

"Do you think we should 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER2M96G5el
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF7WJUHkyh
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLreqOKdEe9

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr36rC26THy

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4bBBdYCpu

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPtLASFTKI

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMssXljNc9w

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfg1bm7oSk

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTiWuwNk2R

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ex7hK1Yoc

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UHfLZBfIV

I stood up from the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sMkWDfQpl
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxJrEvUadH
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMZlQrW5gH
conversation.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGUBrUcGJi

When I went back, I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxb5Coau5o
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpTf7opZE5
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG41UCfo8b6
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpl78QThD1

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmO47vasMU

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIFOgDVW9W

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtubHBxQBn

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCDtEdxDLQ

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFLVMDXhPe

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx28ac0W9S

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN85CA5QKi

G-Dragon gave me a weird1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem8E3GY4Qs
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pU3NcdkBT
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjeD5tasXw
took their place on the couch.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxByI6aXUrS

"Christine and Daesung, I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNPynjahhv
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU6TqmQpT1
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jUSBfrNKM

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPgYZKzzLh

"Ya, we will sing the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8u9pYurrR
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF19uo4Ycbp
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTCNn55Erf
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SxFQtxqRY
producer has the lyrics printed out."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXrKwxdoB4

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeCFE71ApZ

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvj5YfWQzC

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneKVoVnnP5

Then we all went over 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HSjbnJiB1
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlvFplUksF
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkFAKwHXFK

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtxCgfStee

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMazYepJTO

"Me too," said TOP.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT9CTJalKa

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNrF4auMSp

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoVlrd3TNr

I didn't look up at him 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzLOXdINi1
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgVe9lBE13
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABnMegkehJ
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtdguzYX3r

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon3iTOrydH

I started to relax my 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmMOrzRH9G
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLIwJNrMGG
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RbPG9AYYL

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT77CK8ZJ1

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIk7RCw4bw

G-Dragon came to sit 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85AxPkk7TS
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvYVBCND4l
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG2ZZNczZj
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJlSTL7azs
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoyovvhp7K

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL3AlHagfD

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYaDqRNeNj

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULzHreQYQD

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHltUjXmm9

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfW7hUkbLR

"Really?" the music producer asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNuCqv7ALE

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSwu0HJ0ad

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXdTVJtFUf

"Give him a chance, 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4bqqJwEAG
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtojpuRqAFd
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiW4AaoUT5
headphones and put them on.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ405eGYwHqp

"Okay, this is 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEuvQQxf8F
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa55oEOKYr
join them and see what needs some changing."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVFxDCuOcr

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WCfIvW9ps

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8YRanxbVw

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46e5SA9COx

The others looked at me 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1GPZ8RDXn
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2VblnsvrS
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwypYCfcGF

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLA7380fQV

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKZij6MOgc

"That's going to be a 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapI6cIlLv6
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4j0UqVypD
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy3G5NdtvW

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcdoZu1AZg

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrrZQdmJAn

"Okay let's go through the song," I said as everyone nodded their heads and sat on the couch and I went over to get the guitar.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb9kuZTmyO

I looked over at Zoey 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwek60rzn4
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68rFbpYaji
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcditWSliB

I put a stool in front 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nxu6Sv7gC
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡainrqUppBB
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YEtBz63lt
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YNnkWTofE
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡown9ne8cKu
others.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BxvEM6cwl

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmhkJgzuxl

Taeyang and I sung the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXHxaGVQ0x
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdowooTzqXL
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlxFVu9UMc
great and everyone cheered.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIvIpm4rQp

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErXqbpYfd3

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RcTIHxAxq

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPEpAiCYZ2

TOP started to rap the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE9KdnEIDE
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm2iGWHcNe
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu52J8c13Tx
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4HidLKKxc

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZnFNyQv2w

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9JI8PjNf1

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBgyoFpETC

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV1aF8ENIs

Daniel and Seungri sung 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFogzyUJatz
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnbk241klr
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREMQ0VjTkZ
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcqpKnISsm
clapped for themselves and cheered.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYymUUZQ7x

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkdoWBuxZ2

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKXJHDtiX0

I almost fell off the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPvJwg4Uyr
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolY3vKprCe
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyyTWwx9mj
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJHLapacsJ

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIqep9gSIy

"I have to say, you all 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWtwHFUI3A
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OuosB78aU
smile. "Keep up the good work."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW2Sb3PNr2

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbHPJvOrAB

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ePHMH2HM

No one said anything. We1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51kZUPjeF5
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0pjAnIUaz
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowElXqpXry
talking.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW343zwPlU3

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStbktnFA3m

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JYL694zFT

That, I couldn't answer.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1oKWrbqTd
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLIFStQI40
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RXvJVqhG6

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdGcrmCd96

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvyYxep3HS

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrtzRXEzbP

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfle8dCw2nA

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuO8DB4tlY

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU906f5WH4

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoApv5PiBH7

"I want them back here 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAbuOZT0OP
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS3bQSSPBt
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xx2q4f7Xj

I gulped as I felt the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKoLZVASow
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhOtLgzFSu
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBvnYl2cOA
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl67KbkO5ZQ

No one said anything 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjII0x5b6m
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOfFMJQLGE
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhFzNWyL1O

"Where could they have 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiPikHpBvQ
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCxXbx9jkh
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy7ccjA2hn

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2XVTOnfkB

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkqWboD2zH

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBKNM9jqVm

"Then we better start 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WgqFOgUdY
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtJgM0PUKI
looking for them will be difficult."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNNEnFVXAa

We all agreed to split 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WA5Xqq30N
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ejMSDWZUd
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Q9DTA8Uf
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO4CQCCGNT

All the studio rooms 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ly3YjZyi
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40k98l7qtT
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ395o5rfXzp

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoHBc6IOaH

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mmomq0x05

"Almost fifteen minutes."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdfmQa39Q5

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq7jFyw5xm

He nodded and pulled out1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGbcNJoyTS
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M7WAT3oCq
walked out of it and came towards us.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7COi2V5FBv

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4dOJZNv2t

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaJCh1cbLm

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkbtpxhj3O

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaHZ2h1Vpj

I looked at the time on my watch. We only had fifteen minutes and Yang Hyun-suk was going to kill us all if we didn't find them.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPnPswLSEw

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7d4UpYY7q

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkcVjOLd5u

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BQZ6Rr9n3

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCcWKyOXy6

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx2nGPc7M3

I hadn't said a word 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffO8c3Xit3
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsrMRE6gxN
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvoAqNpN1Y
but worry.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif6Rm4DNAK

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlR3RYpCAL

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mML8Z2Uyw

Daesung motioned his 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvR98jCbye
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEAXVtuuLq
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk7nOIH0Bo

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06GkLnosp2

Taeyang and the music 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPx5ec0hxN
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTroBEPs3im
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2n8Dry6lv
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5wYqd3dqX
and angry at the same time.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl9h0zCGV4

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iHScLr1ux

I looked over at Daesung1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ffZA3sIHK
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD233rw3fb
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCl6tQ97MR
the play button.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkEliiHZ2J

***1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPvlKPwNq7

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEEpIDS6rv

I came crushing back 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSApSKvbqUR
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y0Ttmrzdf
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl0g8cRMx4

I had so many mixed 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGguImP6Du1
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfZ8kksEFq
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevYPPdiDyH
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdx1oK1HH9
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi52xvzQgH

I could tell that the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbBK3R6Mox
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea62Sgv4FZ
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k8xWCtkiy
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP97EgpelX

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOxtH0NwhG

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rucYwzAHh

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSW6a8PuLu

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuScU4OyCJQ

I folded my arms and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJNwLcioV5
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSIh01g1Zf
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcE7UXiBwh

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrPlqwUMXk

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0U8caFsD2

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM5FblDlVT

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKkwWOsbZC

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3xGNm08hs

I could feel the others 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD6rRvcZH0
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMVoa2a8G8
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdMQEKVgSy
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oBacLN6Tk
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva1vnl6CiL
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfyWKEj31r

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHM2wbDilf

"Okay." I nodded my head.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8gMFEZ0s7

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIh1NBKE3P
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIvLwyuECW
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznmQTQUWbe

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooOj4Fd45I

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ041LBeMIic

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NMdKfKtXq

"Not until I hear what 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E5hCU9Zyg
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezrDfDkN7N
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4xMprxixk
trying to calm down.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7VPHCBHeL

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbAYyXDQht

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9L9UkW3sD

"So that we could get 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfScPlb4cC
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkdnEdFwFZ
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMIqGRs8nr
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweYPaL9yWM

"I agree with Sam," said1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtz9riIaVV
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsLKOfi7D0
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkA7O3319M

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbRIzQyeKo

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzeen0ddXE

The rest of the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrhbDrqCUn
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdf6YLb2Lm
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yCobglNTY
playing cards.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwuNxXNYam

I was leaning my chin on1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXy0glG0JD
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqZBLuKzB9
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNaLgxRhsn
especially to me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w2SlEalWZ

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bAPTtOMUb

I suddenly sat upright 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ57pJKzWC
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI1lDzH9Km
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWJ2nN4jI2
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHhcEkfYML
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBUV1S4QtR

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbBb7wwkZL

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBITSSMP6J

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjkwr80EWe

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZu3q510pq

"Maybe we can just order1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa8SXUrZSg
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeqZkXmo6A
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4vUAngnFu

"Good idea," said TOP. "Let me tell her right now." He pulled out his phone and just when he was about to call, Lee came in.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1EdhSfKku

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE837iT1Xmq

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUueAxGZ9qS

"I heard that Zoey and 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhO9H5DQzk
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qbpkcoBaZ
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3r2SDynxr

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLxoeKuZHy

"Then it's a good thing 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqfQ1YQism
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzDR97qNEv
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj9CzqDahc

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt1OksIbSe

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTxhdyuGdi

Everyone soon dropped 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CPasZLyIq
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U66XdQw4G
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUxUBXLocM

I had never eaten pizza 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YJMmr5nh6
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU0Va0RmCJ
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B0wyb8nIC

We were done finishing 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvdCGJNhgE
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKgUccpArR
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaSJtHbHSY

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeLND3CwI4

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcwn2ERXQp

We were huddled up on 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdfTnQkN1b
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipIsMnN0uA
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpybkf8Wuot

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5qztshkjN

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYk1ZmRwgv

"You lied? About what?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkkeF4lqsW

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoyUZwFdiz

"But why?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuGU1JW1c5

"Because, I had no choice. I want to know why GD did this. It's best we know and see how we can move forward."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ADBv7Hvd

I finished my slice of pizza and licked my fingers when Lee asked, "don't you think he just did that to get back at you, Sam?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWZcDoPWba

I didn't expect Lee to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ824V5qfWEE
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Jn8RSmfA
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDbiP69BeT

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVS6l0bzLL

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oA9ZIepVu

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfxSJ7bE5o

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB40wDDpr9

I stood up from the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg333CBdOm
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrxxh4rkFA
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwn5FVia5z
later.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9D03pDvMu

Trying to find the right1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd2gDmXtzW
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcpCul25LI
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7SvmPIxjP
what for, was the question in mind.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pirAbJJu8

"Aren't you going to 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiFm5gmO5z
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImCR3Cxj53
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJOlR3NORH

"I doubt it," said TOP. "I was here with them when they were writing the lyrics and the two of them looked fine to me."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42yhmaZMTY

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPE2yHNqX7

I looked at Lee and she was looking back at me with a scared look on her face. Using my eyes, I told her not to say a word.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RorsUW61k

Lee went on to look at 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqUa8UCCcY
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTLLfkqfvP
just thought they might be arguing again."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kKuE8yITD

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ3gxgyzny

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WEGsqJWNE

"I don't even know what 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNT1ZU3d09
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm6Pf3rltx
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i7lBpV39H

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLDT8P5ItU

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx89lbuSk66

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz6loGlxj7

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKcCyqqzdp

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiTlf7v2Gf

It only took five 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbnmoXDNR7
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bbFfaXFFO
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJghqc0Dy9
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBKBXPDUrZ

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSiKbRQ6d0

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhwxdiSj3l

Still, no one said anything. It looked like no one was ready to throw the dice first. I cleared my throat and looked at Lee.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRdj5jXgn4

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl2p2HUo9M

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fc8GgRVI4

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00rNZeRGEn

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85AjJv37VY

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0zhwLIvTU

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUaNM96OA3

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMbcp1ialp

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pnfOHK3ox

I tried to keep my tone down and my anger in check but I was boiling inside. Any minute now, I might just blow my head off.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyCK03zXMu

I was expecting an answer from G-Dragon but all he did was look at me. I kept on coming closer, my eyes not leaving his.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr5vBODce6

"Why did you this?" I asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJG24WtHIu

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA7YcxZFkd

"If you didn't like it, you should have just said so and all of us together would have figured something out. Not what you did."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ieWhlxL6h

When I got closer to them, I took out the USB drive from my pocket. I took G-Dragon's right hand and placed it in his open palm.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkOATZXGAo

"The instrumental is in 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzlSFW2u9o
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9dgNXwn8w
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZsiE6WwdU
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUy9ib7qDE
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZOegC7EMJ
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDdorrpPrY
pissed."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC4nfdAzu8

"Wait, a minute," said Taeyang as he came up right behind me. "He first has to tell us what's happening between the two of you."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvZNzRgNO2

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWVgqBtdtu

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaCtvjIbt8

I looked at Zoey and she1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQZiCxeHX1
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29g4oMoYgv
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsE46u2GR6
was mad at me for.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXhQeXWYbF

"Now is not the right 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwiftPywIY
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7Q6LNVFu2
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9X2uRX74F
understand.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn033Bs2BF

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyKxIQviZM
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsIJVD982z
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJRiLXbgVY
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY4EB5f5bx

"It's about time you guys got here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned towards Zoey and G-Dragon. "Hope you had a perfect lunch."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnldHCJx7Nu

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaSQbT8dSm

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5rgAulPUL

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd0FlDbnqP

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehFZsb1j3o

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1721srxmF

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJoKVj9Fjb

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkVq09yxbJ

I paused with my mouth 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs1abgo9rs
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46oYUqw0Bf
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuprTWapjh4
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws7QHNEYif

I looked at G-Dragon and1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb7QPjP9iU
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZPgX0I5cy
face wondering what he was thinking.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsrf3meK08

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFE6rzX8p8

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAYkq5F4zP

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEKksh9w79

I smiled and Seungri 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVahmRajN8
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VJ1Xx0B7c
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPFU76sQxP
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbqwl6Oaij

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmgYcV7l1w

I smiled a little more. 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFFuPw6xep
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBm2L6A4Go
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTKOiHGJ9F
were at war again.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAXjIjapX8

"But we can't start 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixe1qcPpy9
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXDctvz155
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6klDvkF0TP

I sat upright and alert.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeCZJWogq7
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5fIaUCn9E
have to record the track the day after?"1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinUAaJrTtM

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxa4chopkb

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFISW5dpDn

"But why didn't you tell1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiApnmPYcg
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT3k37raDy
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdnuXwh5vk

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucZOQZxTEN

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ088Q3Finde

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0hutlo1hl

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxHOkg0f5q

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQTOAEF1pm

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHj0Ea1o7a

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9trkSk9dky

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIHajrlAIf

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4immnU3Xb4

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGaThCUxeY

The two managers and Lee went out of the room first. Just as we were about to walk out, TOP stopped me by holding my hand.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0NdsUuKmc

I turned to look at him 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpxuj2yfEf
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdc4OIsrLS
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiamt6pHiN6
me like that.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqIU8g9vLg

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL4pSD1A82

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8sw7fDMOZ

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu8y5GsZHj

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznxjYtyxVK

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCpbARqwLk

Zoey and the others left the room and I was the last to walk out. I didn't want to look at G-Dragon, but I did.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkmBoxeHMP

We looked at each other 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSlUfjUumw
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxGzO9J7x7
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYP8zSJ1hz
Maybe he also felt the same.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9vNUy7Zan

But I wouldn't know and I wouldn't like to know what he felt. I walked out of the studio, closing the door behind me.1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fKOBqtChy

I then realised that I 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4MwYw2lPS
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8iURFE1na
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrrAxA4F3R
another time.
