My body ached all over 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDPGFDOKnX
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPTf2fpyNb
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a57XwfjXL
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuifHzmL0p6
bed.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInrZ8WmA9Y
I scratched my head as I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSL04h6gDl
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6golWAQ20u
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7V92hZwf5
he found me here.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXxJHiIugS
I slowly stood up and I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27AVH29oCM
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBTwaRB0Of
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS9w6Kql9r
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMBnkPE1zG
"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gaOYhvLpj
I almost jumped in 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACkbCF0cPP
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFxZWIiM5J
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuTuZgOKQz
obviously reading the news online.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPr0zsRuof
"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwkY1pnbnn
"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJSOU8pZeJ
"'Don't tire yourself 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9Dy3IFX0y
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLl1huHsVO
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxnI3nS4TK
"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIM95dW8k0
"Oh, you were listening?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt31pCrbgCm
"Ya, you kept on playing1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u0rtdU8Vw
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHNdYSRErQ
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaoOcBlm06
"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vywh2jLc0
"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFlgn3zKYQ
"For covering me with a blanket."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJu2NGv9uj
Collins looked at me 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsleTKtV4n
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu94wGRlgR
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwvRNynISc
"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeb0Db2qR1
"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqDAWJjazW
"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskSQQR7BTn
"Me too."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYrG9lf77x
"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8OXKwcnxW
Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8PaMwoYe4
"Going to take a shower," I said.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm10oD4Fm5
"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pGdsTLVRE
After I freshened myself1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObIdKXTiFq
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm827JV2Jd
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6PfilzcpX
Collins was still on his tablet.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM6cXR9Chx
"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLIWVCsrU6
"Nope. Just looking at 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILm8xNeVJT
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIKQ41GIgM
coming back late at night with the others."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiRDb4BD8f
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUP5Be0fb8
"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYmGI5TouE
"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMivvbzU5K3
"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3FNU7qtjl
Collins handed his 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWI50dmOcd
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7hVXQIK2d
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV918OHDKG
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgZA2B8F5k
having a great time.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOJkpMR0sT
"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx3SPnDMFJ
"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGcnQwCwtu
I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1sgCRn0tx
"They should have as 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ZjSWFpH3
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UOYxg91t6
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8aarGrhJp
"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCaFRAP4gO
"No, it's not about the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS7VkRIOx3
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ypg6EpJjY
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyNAGlDDOY
I looked at Lee who sat 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySPhz66X8C
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKishud6LV
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIFemGlDs9
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnZrentv0j
"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLf39YtvAJ
"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwNzvWPU7Y
I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9QrJ6PjJi
"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNt2hrIQQ6
"If I tell you, I'll 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsspCHj76R4
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl60Ih5uC89
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsryGx2dsp
Collins got up from his 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdpsmqYb64
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2yRKi7h5j
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpv7L6Nkwa
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSmd6PgXfW
"What do you know?" I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOtbMnbhD6
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QruPhNzfC
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0stPpzf3NE
detective asking questions to a criminal.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gskAB6mzE
"I don't know," Lee 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOhRm5tMTC
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMQq1XmHHv
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvQFWKNMaG
I knew something was up 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDMh57hY1i
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13adMyGEP2
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWJJHao0kH
"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yGIfDMK09
"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYwDXfpLQg
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBMGQAhAR0
"Hey, what's wrong?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB28XBDqjY
"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pkiIuF0iu
"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOmcbtOrzO
"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPGew5zLiX
Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KczPk2DHK
"Well, kind of," I said 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kRUZA2bJr
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0JPTPDkxd
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRljRorS2I
"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYUIl374M0
"Okay."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgbtfAagId
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF2GGvp25M
Lee, Collins and I soon 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7yoYap8uv
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr1bz1bbQb
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ1v3ku03r
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXeALTixol
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pYhQhhZb5
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Fw5aoru6
I was waiting in th 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yRIq9mWOG
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKELafh2PaD
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAFDiFujKY
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvb1UWRfof
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM0SnVwUlO
I was pacing up and down1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQdMoHCwBL
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmybQK634rZ
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8NVBKDAvO
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hRL7g7Qun
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuHTKnPpgP
and I was so nervous.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIifemq18O
"Here she is," said Lee,1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTfzg9racZ
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt1A6NRKTM
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7Zo003vS7
you, Tae."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGCSM8j0dp
I frowned at Lee and I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QLiOuJAbj
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5m40yjS3U
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtGRnbScfG
friend.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FfIzQ2TmG
"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyQrHhKYFq
"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sM40gD420
"I told Taeyang that I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtj79Nzu2g
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3kH7Z3I9G
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUzOJZO1Pd
"Our manager called me 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumTwSflAav
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uuLx60y7l
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIWPJvsDSD
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWumwHAtebE
"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXKXy8RaY9
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8juf5kh69m
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UqiI8JpTh
"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAarj7ZaLK
"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJPLx1FsSN
"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNGRSt3BoI
"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB1yTItPBm
"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqXq5VtJS4
"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ry2gMzym
"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXkPUUhpms
"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIISBg2Gwe
"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMog9hFdc7n
"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT0VImMI6Y
"Sure."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaGBJe6S2t
I gave Taeyang my 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcCO9SMHqM
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHfRkmDlE2
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0WCIyg6uH
cute together.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdSQgwbj7i
"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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxNh5QtIbg
"Thanks. I was singing 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OysDB6VSA
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRiJto2g7F
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28WlFg5J8c
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckwVRfThU3
"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50xuHV82kU
"Well...not really," I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKy2Osom2h
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jMpOxM0fY
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcw1B7ITbI
"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIF0UVYWOb
"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiUFKd5JyT
I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcfT8aDq9H
The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hMBcNODsC
"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sCm6mg3ku
"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmG1zl1hBz
"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY9RObaBPU
"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Or2gseOgJ
"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEihUsFtZq
Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg0M5enJzT
"Right now."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5h3exf5DP
We all turned towards 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzelghlLVx2
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu0DmtJUaO
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0t2yKIW46
When everyone got 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnMKo8a9op
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQMSax0XvK
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3e9UeZh4h
run out of the room.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBQdDhLDzx
"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFtTwPkrY5
I nodded my head and my 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXDBKHG964
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxfykKANtI
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRFmkCpfYW
ever got to play it.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHTDdyhapN
I felt a break of sweat 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANbFAANGje
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k3H4pzgcE
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbxIDP8Z91
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxdNGAp02z
strung the strings on the guitar.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWe1d6qMZW
I started to sing as I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8XYpZWa01
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FeAvcSIex
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qPhgsNkAM
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXiV5iDYtR
didn't. Well, I hope so.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67PDoImFBp
As soon as I was done 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOKNXWISG3
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4wPSxg4c0
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfk0GU9v8j
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldS0ySr2iu
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSHYLeqd7K
hoped they liked it.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOLT4m6Ez5
The studio was still 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEC8pgAbKP
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5qiIc4Ayl
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78AOqbYB7V
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYvJbqlBjR
Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtjYnNadOZ
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrOJNVqhmE
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUxS4ZcWcb
"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAqC7ZY08g
This was it. The hammer 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiamEO2ZAD
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDaI7aVjmZ
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW3TrlH6Ug
"....incredible."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieZcxUpwm2
I opened my eyes and I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDQDhAKYI8
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzzXxtdSu3
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvKImX45oO
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm7h6I6Cqk
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7anhtF17TS
"I've to admit, when 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlEd9IaIeR
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsUw8MXgsx
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMnhTUzvCj
"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNp5fbIt9V
"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1au1pGVSco
"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflpf5b3VRd
"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPlI6JwtNv
"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv48Pb6uBQ
"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4LeAKeTbb
I couldn't stop smiling 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I7I5XPXrL
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4Ykl1Y2sI
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73fJEY4zQS
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA27OD4ANh
good voice and a golden one.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡackgvfya5s
Immediately our managers1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8nyDzySA0
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy33kqjUoz0
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ZLQYZsom
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30IYbC9hDY
musical instruments.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRi0ySUA28
This was always the hard1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIf8NUkuoo
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdrNPnk3l0
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MGCOYy3f6
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrTO4RYaT9
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHtuFEQ7pX
An hour had passed and I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSVP0QigGF
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OAh9Szoul
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HXEjv4ANH
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxE6vZ7d1a
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mBG21k6DZ
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtogoKKDdJ6
"It's been an hour and I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3MHl9p433
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36mjUgP6zc
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6WWLX95RU
"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKFBF6tYlz
"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrRFv0z4yO
"Trust me, you're so 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc1J157hxu
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q86nQWqj3
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LYRWzy947
"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5DwLwHaEl
"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gqzIiMPLB
"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38fblsT9BT
"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgzrlOmEjs
"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHJpJ6l1CE
"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHF08E1TGr
"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXp8YZaIWj
"Mmmm." I murmured in 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7lQYxnyrr
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u9MclwRJA
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fLZ5JulNp
masseur."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8selyo9CWU
"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4dS3V0w6z
I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gYOWrz6WF
The music producer soon 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibF4NPxPMF
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmcKZpmxA7
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9zA6pCrdg
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApchghEczn
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOgPO8r19C
recording the track.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU2n3ZONqd
We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQYj4sdo69
"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVaqv07u4P
"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHx4hp3WzT
"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeSq4G6L2P
"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwVXWOhaTI
I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgymXYnxHIO
"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDLUvfi6X1
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1ZNUpW0i1
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUz8jRb8Uw
"Let me guess, you're 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfFAUFxanM
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8KcYu2pVu
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM5smc5peN
"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp1aeN99ww
Something told me his 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHPzzlUJUZ
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUjNHG7lTO
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAbsQbrBvP
always does.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeDpYbXlbM
"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ibYqwYUPv
"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjJQ5SiQA7
It was late in the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfwrTzgeDh
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi7KYYsH8f
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweKH5tWUTB
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMSQELEg8b
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB4gTWyMF3
"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKahrWxuuaL
"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN2Ko2Mjct
I looked beside him and I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLEhq2dp5H
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ExFme8Pq9
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ296BnWuHxl
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpM5XIrk8n
leaning my head on the console.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcQbMlz8qo
"I always hate this part1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAaG2U4Ptx
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkFxhguiRQ
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb0FmOJVBD
console.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM1BHVaUNx
"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLwW5I9A2S
"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0miC0x2La
"I wonder what time."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDwqYqjba0
"Wait." I pushed my head1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE2QltsFbK
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF3QRzySmV
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fAHvLSIyi
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1iiYoM0kU
"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzc9AwWdjP
"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FNiB6FiCS
"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW8fUKjsQw
"I didn't sleep well 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdmpYRhOAs
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DMZQmmrWD
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKU9XEMwjB
"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTsnBlBJa5
"You're right." I soon 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xXhhWsuBb
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6JyAU38E3
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwOL4QdKUO
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCLbQu1Fp5
"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYSgZxE2OS
"Alright. Thanks."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK5fqYmefe
"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WxuWVB4hQ
"And so will I," said Seungri.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE99hZRdmx
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bn4aCImQM
Immediately I left the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSHF1iVFb8
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80IMPKILDH
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuK4issHLn
"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf1B0GeDi2
"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLtCrRTsdQ
"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCsWSOjoCI
Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWYlHsVeOY
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHYSbxnj16
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCSNCOaV1N
The next thing I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYxFj5aAQA
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxrQhealc1
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu0m4BKaxQ
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNA0llkme2
I woke up by the sound 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNlmAaBsb5
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwknKps5YOs
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6y13Jui99
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBVSJ7xgsQ
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7p5RHhND0
I reached out for the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hyks37WB8
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapDwpxK00y
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqyXOoBpkZ
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqeKD91GKS
I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8EUbViVna
"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHs0JtxZ3h
"I could hear it ringing1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWHG1TRbPo
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn5hNeVRos
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYhK5qEzMh
"Thanks," I said as I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcZinZXD5k
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPZTaGJGvI
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgwaH4Sroh
"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiOSgu1sHq
"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWK34DVoZN
"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdiTvnlYJy
"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAOr3kRSAs
Lee left the room and I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbH040aKFj
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cq8Z1fTWX
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D6Ex3oL98
"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jMM9LmOes
"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrtvOdqGZT
I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSVr1exSHo
"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6OzgOISHb
"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMKe9ymK0j
"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQBGeVFnSU
I dashed over to the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIYZPzlEbj
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8osD02zGT
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3BBw3DgLA
It was now 10 PM and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6Mi8H1MIm
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ850Yt2n0C9
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEXPLPTxSN
they were right now.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIgfWloWq2
"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyG1KcKS0b
"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw8dA2bAYb
"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoz6D0yNNG
"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP0B7s3Kwy
"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzT030uwBk
"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6DUhwm0sg
"True."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrd73bipfp
We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlnxnAKmkb
Two bell boys came out 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z7PxUu528
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhCWOAUXPd
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsa0mmB05N
"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTbYBDm7lM
There were so many gift 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pdolovvx6
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmnygS0wWl
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fN8XAYFoo
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib40BP0iZp
so pissed.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l0hJMNGLN
"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabq0t3NQH0
"They are downstairs," he answered.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJhBXyWIbn
After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrddo2KckyU
When the doors flew 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvyeMpO0El
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAfUa6T0mz
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6Ly5DMPFz
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufkzz8SzLe
"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms3BeeGwnW
"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZAr37giTT
"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5CuE1rAy9
As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBdoldrUQG
"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroC5L2XETa
"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTJd95xYQ9
"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpXuSYFsFh
"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5yDL11S65
"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCsQY6J9UB
Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5lLHptGGr
I raised an eyebrow. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5YTtxFO75
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0AoNmh4eN
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJdNbdbH9S
"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?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXYDKWRQGo
"Everyone just missed 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyMTvolqZ3
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJtQgmBRMN
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbSdAfw2n7
I rolled my eyes at him,1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFeCLQVs4I
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqDqVzOeBB
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjplsBElHLl
face when I hugged him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeAB49zsFt
"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu8ClrBuBP
"Wait! You missed TOP 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnQf0Suqxc
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAjDlTuirR
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaTEDU9mLa
I always loved it when 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkAwCZb3oz
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX03vWlzmd
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbi2G6sVYu
"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5KRGiEYnI
For a moment, that voice1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dhYp5qf3Q
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HOHHEZXMc
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJHzDh73W8
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ChiM9ABKX
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnWTVjq112
he was still acting the same way he had left.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKheDyE0ERi
I was really confused. I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv3r7PzITn
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgDhUhKKIf
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAxCRJWWXX
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipNzvu43rg
personal and it had to do with me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPOhVlx42L
I had no other choice 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho0b0nrKTO
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiXflqVO9V
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHZR8FMueR
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1rY3lQHve
"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IVswzPXwy
By the look on his face,1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Du5k1Gcx
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs40PI0d8tO
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeo9qLqYP8
going to end pretty tonight.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9EKllKMAx
"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLZTIKX0zp
"Ya, I did."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxESJjc6ir
"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtluqmHOjsO
"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNYTU91H8I
"Can't wait to hear it,"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs38IyjRIUP
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ18WY3rkE
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxJFsWmFrH
"Anything for you, 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ffRgbuUN
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk25Wz4LiZ
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyoP017cAy
look at Zoey.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaZzwx4CZp
"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqveHs2duA
"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwthwBGtFoc
"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTDMmSTZ1t
After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwD778P0OS
"You know Collins is 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQQNS6u2CZ
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoEcACyAwI
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHcAiBm0Z4
floor.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwlJ4kZycl
"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LCdKm1MCl
"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakt6Wn0eOs
"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYvTZtVzJD
I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o89GYab6X
"We better sort out all 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZcvEIr1jl
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPToqzHivue
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7TZNVE208
floor.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmjaa71fAz
Sorting out all the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOcDhhHUFe
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS48zwd6Gt
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKvmcHb2a7
had really bought a lot of stuff.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LKQSaX28Q
The boys had brought a 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzC8XTTBTt
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFKD7i4Mfq
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqTRcB1nAI
expensive designer shoes.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1tIJJPdL8
As for Zoey and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmuUBMkYTf
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RPqaL6Vlu
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIH0qdfzjG
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZaDv1Qnt9
"G-Dragon was helping me1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJBEasxjIv
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP510JfepW
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsohmc5mKn6
"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTTFgn3u9Q
"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfANGwMt5oS
We were sitting on the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1qH2VmOc1
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuYogGdQiM
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXagtqT49iS
stuff with Collins' too.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAJKomsUI1
"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64njZO6VeK
I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG8n3RYcez
"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MkwaDExIQ
"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpXadBuTD3
"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrmrwyElvb
"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBxLkg44xT
"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68qOaxJP2U
I distributed the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpvj5IJCwk
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuGsQmlDPZ
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBfNXMRYPT
was meant for me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj6TfFffsk
"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8sjLz6Juq
"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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd5IwUUWAd
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoGqrNxsLG
"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eRlIAPkJp
When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmddr40YzEj
For a moment, time 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSEiNmDk9m
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcV8bxZqVF
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTUqQueCcz
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRbWSrJrAE
mess.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhH2i1tBxb
"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0hGYeGruw
"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXeABzbv3X
"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIdJy94WH5
"Hide," Zoey whispered.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD9bkiveAr
For me, it kind of felt 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMBBozvmeL
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCWES6zgZj
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01rFDPttEc
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqor1KGca4t
When Collins came to the1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqRbzZDRxT
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTWjA2J1S6
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9uGlbl90g
he just couldn't.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfqvDsGSfE
"Hey, Collins," I said.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFGnQ4tMov
"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzf1W6M2OW
"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiidZzMT8Yo
Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTp4LL1KtC
"Thanks."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHArBRrjxj5
"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX4U5n786y
"Who?" I asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD92q8KaWez
"You know who I'm talking about."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0u0qHOvbj
"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlWz1yuMro
"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6yX10Bu6P
Collins went over to the1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo23cDfnh4
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOrb4hdGL2
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG5VSPDPBa
up at him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH01SQbLwe
"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVo99fahaN
"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJdfmTQ5Xu
Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMS4wcoKGu
"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUsjSB8H9W
"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmLKpdgrdN
"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1hniuATdR
"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuTQ5GTq8v
"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XmzExbh9k
"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FYZqeWhdS
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuppJS1KUd
"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ219FFaxoMN
"Here, we brought you an1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVx5BB1EOk
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrIMB3sYFY
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UTyEnOZ6X
"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BVjjOaGCI
"Thanks," said Collins, 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGEQ3vfifq
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVCtO4rW4m
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52CstNX3Q1
Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5SnPEAJ7i
"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IDyrCKEOH
Lee was right. Collins 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAC0OCAbsA
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HwNwAp1lq
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwSK4rmd81
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxgXtwVdR2
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4aZ5V4iy1
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWARSekOhn
"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y8mFJSto5
We continued sorting out1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKnedSmBiU
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGQrGo9dh1
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF8K6pn4gq
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm8AuCGL0y
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfgC5nmaDa
already too late and we all needed to rest.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMJIxeDN0h
We hadn't managed to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqpZcv8Mwq
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69dRMoSCza
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtW7EIuhFW
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoBwyhAshJ
course.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv2KNxNA6S
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLYkJpSpkO
"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEMDejpLb6
Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGdovi256P
"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwssHzns6Ta
"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP9w7PtWbx
I looked at her with an 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlUo91ZzZX
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl3WIEMgJ5
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxri9K0G4Z
"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1escUprqMi
"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteBpKB3IEv
"Fine?" I looked at 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00NBOevP78
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyKYqIy7UG
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC3L1uPfYu
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9SswcUyRx
"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckOt8y2he1
"Tell me, please!" I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKhTseJpEO
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwm6iM1O46
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCS3Y4SwUR
tell me something. So tell me!"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCebVfD6ymn
"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmfGlBX9Ht
"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLakEassCW
"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFFPMQSByB
"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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9xLwR8AMI
Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ9RZ0Ms2j
I felt really excited 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHRo2hDoLh
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlpkbXlff7
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupWvPhlLF3
"I don't know how I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtTjHdQ6Hg
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAQDESpl5B
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD7Z6cmFBX
Tower."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFng8T2QG6M
"Ya, I saw the picture. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxncYsYVwr4
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9OKmjQPMK
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuTMPMZ5cS
"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoxqrqnYeo
"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3VatrIAjd
"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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGghYuchkbY
"What?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFGHdeVCwE
"When we got to the top 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X0BrW1ldh
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23wBovzgOG
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHyqKUJZ9q
others had left and it was just GD and I."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteTMw81W6O
My eyes grew wide. I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRiOInEB3J
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyALnRNSF7V
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZJGzoGEqb
"You two kissed."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL3Dnub0oo
"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYPXE9VGEi
"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKpEIdVqMp
"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGxbf6mpTc
"Well, you were in one 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVPDp1sVCP
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXoJhrqyHN
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9lmDElFFa
"Smart."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NNBe7Pqzw
"Thanks. So, how was it?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF0jr7NPXe
Zoey smiled like a fool,1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2kpRPJR16
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4QZnxg5i6
it was so magical at the same time."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDKk45oMRy
I couldn't help but 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNp0svfV01
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbZVbSfQQv
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1GBwmB931
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg4m5MulYl
everyone at the prom.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKmjhaRsoF
"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjZV75dcpd
"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT7HKVD5Y3
"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZHPcfmRIV
"And? Anything else? 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpKINOQMKi
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaDd7tCub1
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfYTYSONQE
"When we were on top of 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzujEObEgUN
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoFqCOikSU
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjbUOcMMcP
Well that's a bummer. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPxpqgdosz
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3vjXXhqgG
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqrSTnO32s
really liked Zoey and not me?1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi2eLNAEvb
I brushed that off. Why 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPQwDsuLCW
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TY8wGo2xI
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUDALdNS3h
hopes up with it.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYlQZ3ck61
"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaBMKMOm9V
"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkWexxR9Vd
"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSOlVc6RWC
"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEYkK2FTbc
"Thanks, Sam."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdjCa6fZKd
"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7cj0RTmk7
"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddKCWZlzIw
I left Mr Panda on the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyuuzt2OBQ
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEjUgTcTcq
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUozhcsZxf
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFzo2L5J2J
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrmM9QdMWk
"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsztreP9VT
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF6oZ4lFzD
I laid my head on the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MQXiXrKRu
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsV8aLEcs1
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwugdL0KzPl
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkZDuIJpOr
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHl20kgUTN
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6avI1XK3Aw
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPeFQxDyn7
have been.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mg7JdrEpc
Zoey would have only 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXcCip5f2R
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSDaoWmFL5
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEnJScVfLg
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmLhpYdAEc
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqBFQe6eqm
I pulled Mr Panda closer1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PO35Bp2Zk
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qKD1virpN
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2AyXJ20Sl
***1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlGkVrq3W0
I was given a round of 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr0PdQ6jRN
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqJsTM1MhT
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOedU4BdvXl
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuAcMcq449
"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFHlkbRfit
"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqctRnMAE10
"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwADN2hbzpL
"Then you better eat 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWt8DGvvZ5
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00kDrf3gc8
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDrJRveDPg
We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5qUacFJje
"I can't wait for us to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRoYw7t6z9
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Bqig8hiR
beside me. I could only tell why.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeQBeEMNmv
Christine who sat 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQZ94yAtM4
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9wTKsLnpS
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYB7c9XPqs
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNpwxtSxAr
and G-Dragon.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjIsna0r9T
When we were done 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxpNiumfWQ
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcbHfkXBQR
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOgjuJLNve
"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6dgrcNgpu
"What is it, Zoey?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y0U5cZkw9
"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3hZrjeBos
Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9qM7QWPiM
"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDtzi5mPDf
"That's the problem," 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e1Bqbjc65
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ112cWaryY8
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFIStuOIlH
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAgnwcV2SX
Mike turned away and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XQHQrPWzD
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7HURVU20z
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FAw2PFwGZ
something?1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW1cv4dJGY
"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblPcwpHMYY
We agreed with Christine1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP0XlSD1rU
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B9NuYirHE
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbsnmpl9Z5
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl7nEFyMyH
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSYTXqi0rP
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM9uLrHvWO
"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr8bHg6H1x
"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmVadvQ3xX
"I also feel like I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ8Di7ahzP
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pSlpf9yFG
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKOiDq8nLR
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXgAyEHXGG
"Do you think we should 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXoxkVocEF
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybtrbZosKJ
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfd9sQY8ph
"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU965NfuHY
"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkaFdE3R1L
"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxkMOIti4s
"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyfQarmFNG
I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w9hJBabsW
"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GWF8AwT87
"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xne6S2PBU
Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2V1XkFLJ3
I stood up from the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV0NPLThBt
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDE5Ip3wzf
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklZpgj93vY
conversation.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3rcvlSnUt
When I went back, I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkEZjhGEZy
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSYcYE8SBI
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDEZYItnpD
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgEcIZ7uqI
"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrTfxM2bHl
"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxCH5tEuwz
"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbKbPJmOBI
"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1CXLJ9pLV
"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBWcwd0Pme
"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKsNmYLlCM
"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MyqWpvWH5
G-Dragon gave me a weird1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzELHpD4292
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphXFVL6yDs
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVaV2bDY0P
took their place on the couch.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoFVotA5Xk
"Christine and Daesung, I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAO4csY0hq
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OBDkCtKN7
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhnIZuBNVS
"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1pW3SEYo7
"Ya, we will sing the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkhPmSjpoh
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QaesOj9l5
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMoksIjBoh
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46hFcCVcaH
producer has the lyrics printed out."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BDzVX880e
"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRMSXZeV7s
I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh15tRnKLXv
Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVpEqPAxj7
Then we all went over 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHsN0B4Cff
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v1I2mE0vO
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItONvT998W
"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAGwtOaAE7
"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzmd6xeZUt
"Me too," said TOP.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCRNJcFBdg
"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vodbjoLcr
"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo8aO1KWDS
I didn't look up at him 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHl6OVnlsb
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSTxXVKfBo
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgANGVBRFuX
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcdEFPtWcT
"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4fqBdPBPv
I started to relax my 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoaDaUpFk2
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIi3o9b8ir
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPoIqqBTnr
"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqero3Uv06B
"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsSMEcBeHx
G-Dragon came to sit 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKzPiKdIz9
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMWQjVMOch
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo8yIhXEaN
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpOBnY70uU
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQp7YaoNbP
"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH1bx6jA2S
"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA52eyQVgt
G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5nqwA4rx9
"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr27inZ2Idg
"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A7GmdtowI
"Really?" the music producer asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaXsUwNRdC
"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp2Jm8w7Vt
"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZjsinNO7U
"Give him a chance, 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ4eeQvV0Q
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvVmvYPF6N
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTzOsSv8FX
headphones and put them on.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc9vTvYGS2
"Okay, this is 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ265fVVfXmZ
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xRGjlwtcx
join them and see what needs some changing."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGMlwXfqL5
I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiXuCJfRmM
"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgmOvRYUdo
"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BQ1ECToYn
The others looked at me 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEUyiVbE1T
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMCrI6pNYL
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAQBRiPi5a
"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gs3sBHmms
"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpSkClFRH6
"That's going to be a 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCXC3oEhgB
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebbx4mTcej
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE3tAEs4ke
"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgOtCSsIXU
Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2reZsxat4
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaUvn67GPE
I looked over at Zoey 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHUCgcuRZQ
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgCImPIaii
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W8uZU38Tq
I put a stool in front 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbhxNNX42G
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmvHT29sf5
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13JK4XwgMn
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn9z64HFqA
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMgmdW4cMo
others.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymepq2F8pL
"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKDUE7p3Hm
Taeyang and I sung the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oA7p14jEx
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAVwSsm1vK
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF3V1VfOUC
great and everyone cheered.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh2kDSR1i4
"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCavSfNic4
"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsp4qb6ZJR
"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrxz5J3IVq
TOP started to rap the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G6EWfyqvr
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ9jgJd4t1
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLySXCkc5SY
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF6tT04Xis
Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g66tKE0MI
"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5eGaJE7v5
"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewld8dPrVy
"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNL3HdBxfQ
Daniel and Seungri sung 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHZkl2X5JV
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27hfnZuE1m
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPz3E3tk5Q
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwTXjJJyBu
clapped for themselves and cheered.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuOC94SaPr
"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9eOzxadOI
"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9vm4EvQyu
I almost fell off the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhrLsvkT5g
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UaVi5ZNpz
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVhnvKbEgZ
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFXuNJMhuP
We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjtuf0Ss0n
"I have to say, you all 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9rQoPEiTy
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5QBCMhoxx
smile. "Keep up the good work."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu3OBu6gSp
"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnnu52LiVo
"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zPgpoQcpH
No one said anything. We1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHvIPy2vDd
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG2AOjWJU6
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf4Imt0H8n
talking.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9IN9UwFtn
"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKTosr5LA4
"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHtmfzxCHR
That, I couldn't answer.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq4hCF2VG5
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa5KEOruI0
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtsoMEaUNW
"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtpmfUiveU
"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiBZKPDV6l
"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRdHScILzN
"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwEVRIWRrf
"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM3xQ0GDoF
"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB845gGjT56
The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfxYWSZKfC
"I want them back here 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVySo03GII8
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycXOKXq8oZ
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSz32yiEWH
I gulped as I felt the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77v83LrV6d
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXhj8Ho5IC
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlhjvHX5TA
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVFVN6Qs5d
No one said anything 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpAbOAG6B7
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkPyZcfqgZ
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjdSoBukoj
"Where could they have 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzidamz5o8Z
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDW1fDdM8U
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qa4kHdyS7
"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBaV63IJBy
"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6GmviJXPB
"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PAHMQo1w5
"Then we better start 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75JYpQQJl6
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvODkTDDlEl
looking for them will be difficult."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmYPNOyekt
We all agreed to split 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VZwitENym
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5aJwnBJqd
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnRK2tAcAT
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SV6SzGq1w
All the studio rooms 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkdRWpYmpC
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ1smsXjAb
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw4LLnx8bx
"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIJ0aKVkvd
I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wcCDr7JlN
"Almost fifteen minutes."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VHLzcfbNd
"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWruFsUWqgM
He nodded and pulled out1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxxbawP9ts
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3kacoUNQP
walked out of it and came towards us.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrMvsWfKfE
"Anything?" Daniel asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIz7H8L1aO
"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo86UUhuD6
"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6J0JtTl3i
"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbDjYxfy8t
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYLplnOvJk
"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkyOXoQY32
"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiA6HCBZNw
"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRyBDc6IAa
"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gra54ZFFS
"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn1vWIqDVk
I hadn't said a word 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaMiSfRTvZ
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDhHotTzvf
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHLveIAlIc
but worry.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWnp0UIJMC
"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKlY4wKHPy
"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUartOCgGtC
Daesung motioned his 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusKuNT16FJ
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL51B2Cyzfh
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMExVpialZK
"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc33fYbbCK
Taeyang and the music 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU1Jph6Bkx
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqN13iG2cS
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs80dr0VNf
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9VubBPJNZ
and angry at the same time.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3qz1wurEH
"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsSUxMgQhu
I looked over at Daesung1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYevn1WpLWH
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTrqx501my
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBEdCxZqmh
the play button.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNfmtjRup9
***1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcnr2kcwnr
"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAY7Gr192H
I came crushing back 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW847WNIaY
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjKJAOOgLb
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6RusqTcNx
I had so many mixed 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LuUqTfLkw
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGQtORARGU
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb0pzjXZro
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghdgHQ6Qri
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vbg6fZs9t
I could tell that the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxucsmQhmw
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZxOPCqRSQ
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk9NY82SHv
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxB1iUtPmY
"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZGiaaEXFg
"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlIDTzvWjO
"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdqBaMfKUa
"They went out without taking you guys along?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph0MX2KR2I
I folded my arms and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaAqdQssoq
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhd6wyTd04
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJYUepmCrV
"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNSFbH4Gug
"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA97xrU8R5k
I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCWuQD6G0a
"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3YkO1IaRe
"No, we haven't heard it yet."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6skRqAPAf
I could feel the others 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnAXYIpDKl
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ih0M3poi
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr1iGSIhky
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Vb1TgusD
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUhJcolz4C
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hpuGSLPOm
"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdG2R8ecRE
"Okay." I nodded my head.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhSyGTWlHN
When Yang Hyun-suk left,1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxSqbJ1CYy
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv4UaNIV9V
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8zYFG1dAz
"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZSI64QviB
"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WxKAr0whO
"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH8pm3XOVL
"Not until I hear what 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAuEoOxdcQ
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmFlW3UooW
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6VzQxAPS4
trying to calm down.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FFeNGrVNA
"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIRJecDCDs
"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13FeoHZkPw
"So that we could get 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff9oaHPXBR
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04BonVKnYH
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrNklmf9UK
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd4cPWCcGY
"I agree with Sam," said1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7OHb7XW9j
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLVsd8DTYT
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTwXTwplWO
"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrhwwAMgi9
"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6aV9RQ6vV
The rest of the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SnF9HNTqT
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywFln4K4Sf
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKinCceX6H
playing cards.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD49j8A5TXX
I was leaning my chin on1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHp5UZfuVT
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNHeUZu29B
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArNIlrkUum
especially to me.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxw4PhWuBn
Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2FZbvvLLF
I suddenly sat upright 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eEqmeVjsr
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszrQnmeK2T
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQxOwiegeG
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4oRvWwM3j
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkCPaYX9fg
"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzP2TeZLXX
"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrvivGLWip
"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1bqzXcWRH
"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxi5xsudU7
"Maybe we can just order1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLwJaqCMTN
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjjlzqIhtl
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q1ZcTeg2f
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF45TQIcQeb
"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNepoM0f1z
"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDgfPhcZxO
"I heard that Zoey and 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENkeA5U1rC
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE0lKpzbPl
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA2KI4fN84
"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeoZSWAgfc
"Then it's a good thing 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB0bRC8nDM
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqld2oaieUK
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSXiKYfgl1
Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIp7Vjl9y1
"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MBcid2Dmz
Everyone soon dropped 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXzGqZeWSL
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt9RSCBNQU
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYOylqZVly
I had never eaten pizza 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb03bjpRxRC
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vYAsBpTTX
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xGcAJGsj8
We were done finishing 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX91proYl14
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcYCOAkfv0
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE5475JVBa
"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QHq6p2Ckn
"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmelunDsBR6
We were huddled up on 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbCoD9HgiR
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScP9aBUUyQ
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXKyVevoXP
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSGWuUVcJG
"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvacO69JLR
"You lied? About what?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBcFxVYHm1
"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71CjWNiqXc
"But why?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTznbxzn2F
"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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HkqzHAzwu
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?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnDBAtMT5W
I didn't expect Lee to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTlGO960AR
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwIBmXZE1A
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zzS2tozCI
"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETkBwQXwib
"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNAiAansmD
I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJtQzTXmIH
"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIHEYWjjuY
I stood up from the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyVULB4crA
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKgDDOwno8
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiUPw1D3SN
later.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn60qSBZWY8
Trying to find the right1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbwt6N1s5O
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lCDeBOmMY
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGB4RAUqAJ
what for, was the question in mind.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekwo5aE8Qk
"Aren't you going to 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYW5Nt33ou
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlzNhZPQ93
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvuoK6JxVY
"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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe0D1l5P60
"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiMJ5gm4Cc
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPYHb4p1Lq
Lee went on to look at 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMvdAzcymu
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0eYZ60qso
just thought they might be arguing again."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3zihmZaIT
"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlwcbpFX1F
"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIxb4i6hrx
"I don't even know what 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhVSaG76I7
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wixvcqm2o
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHr7zBuk01
"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZc00FoEdP
No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqyxtPxnvg
"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSUcEB0RJ9
"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE188fLyr2v
Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoEc1DvzSm
It only took five 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMzsZrDK7Z
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0CH68VZpA
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9isAfol2O
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1MhxBr0Gx
"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46rh9hRugO
When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg3CIei5fN
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t0UJmFiU9
"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxAwHqKigk
"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vVAlacbdc
"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfbhK8S83e
"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8U5Suvf9I
"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76LMTGYRpe
"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4W5y0pjWW
"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5DMEn4OcV
"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt6mrmLLgg
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH34FMwbRhm
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEPi12cHzo
"Why did you this?" I asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41nz51fXHH
"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvqeRTIRhX
"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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F9WBcCMAa
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoctzQkfhT2
"The instrumental is in 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa2qAH0Xv4
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A5VAPZStl
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYIAVpbj0r
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC5tuafCLS
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhUtAsxiCN
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJSKkiNFCq
pissed."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudSDJUbxEm
"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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00mtXsYGdp
"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKEjfbIWKn
"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv1PfvVnFZ
I looked at Zoey and she1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVixfz3qxGb
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYmLRi2jsz
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbBYSzczIQ
was mad at me for.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4cbIicoVG
"Now is not the right 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehPnz3wl0s
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dfUWFZwOt
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoLQrx7EOi
understand.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczk3plvRMR
Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTuxUjGPQM
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYcy2jW2RY
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsBueTxPhL
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMuVXu7WV2
"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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6E4JKkJIC
I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSZb7CqnMf
"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAycHl5fhKh
Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmIfK8RFhV
"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2coUtMUQw
"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5MfZpL5xT
"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYGq88GJds
"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Q8MPC7ZB
I paused with my mouth 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1zPyQiYIk
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1zh5I9ZMk
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMwDvdTARW
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ7koP9DkF
I looked at G-Dragon and1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95MmpnQPsT
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bgggMQ4AS
face wondering what he was thinking.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPZRBnkHXA
"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr6ngPLyrN
"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgbN3esrT7
"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NLAZQBxpW
I smiled and Seungri 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm9sCmRj3f
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazYVHOUnI9
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PQdHoBydI
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hcFdSlVrf
"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GRIX4RYIo
I smiled a little more. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQQhzX9Xkb
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDtV11GctS
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ3Zj6lLEB
were at war again.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQttQugNH6
"But we can't start 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X7AXHK6lM
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy29DFcMO4
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkwUeOl131
I sat upright and alert.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe04TljvxjU
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN0CKowoIa
have to record the track the day after?"1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzdHoyXrUz
"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0XFZKu3BH
"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcRUv0DPrR
"But why didn't you tell1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbQunSMM4X
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4D4Jr7NHJ
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Svo11YCo
"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImOtOpxChh
"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnSY0gPbca
"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutTgvD2I8d
"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXCNBKvwLm
"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPmJc5OVZD
"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Asjm5gCa
"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfw4jaJn9t
"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhBl9cmNln
"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JeNyj6LZN
It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMXUSeHkc9
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjRpbVFDTt
I turned to look at him 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVTVFYu29u
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPqide04rx
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnq5ePLGwB
me like that.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmUkmPEwJ6
"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw09RwDtDi8
"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZN9hGs3GW
"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9t1MVACzz
"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L5SGxc0dK
"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigvyW40fsT
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBGAK1jVEC
We looked at each other 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0qun8TFxV
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICkbpssXvO
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dfPndi6SM
Maybe he also felt the same.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3qazxQ6si
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevrh6T5rqL
I then realised that I 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw7kOwKYJH
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9xlIC9oq8
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp9qWiyz9H
another time.
