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

My body ached all over 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljUaH7XxUw
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzMSxjcZSK
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTNEc0bVLH
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1RW7GdpGr
bed.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ551vsvd8fP

I scratched my head as I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxBCzE1Zmm
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRFiVyY1YM
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUFsHobEIq
he found me here.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9IgtZrAny

I slowly stood up and I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeh2EYbiHQ
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBV2XLkTVJ
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Y60WoeNa
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12ZFB0msbl

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OBI8W12wJ

I almost jumped in 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRid9GEwBDp
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcrCWrVJID
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXgelxlIZC
obviously reading the news online.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aCFVgnE26

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKWa5KJaY6

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAnLH2ZN3x

"'Don't tire yourself 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaggGPHn6K
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM7stUDYm4
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasiT0SVJuX

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPYryegPbb

"Oh, you were listening?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVbEceRY8j

"Ya, you kept on playing1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYgPHBidEx
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkesDWG1Vw1
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE21qZ5HVa

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah8Y3N6yba

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDzbqX9ac5

"For covering me with a blanket."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1jswaYmfQ

Collins looked at me 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEx5qBirzN
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKReaNfZZg
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaCTanZl8F

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGFtKoTOAl

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7ZdPz8hdK

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wg1nrxG8X

"Me too."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO2nG2Nvve

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMnqGFZT8p

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKQhCL1icW

"Going to take a shower," I said.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9tLr3rvdZ

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVuCMYoF2F

After I freshened myself1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qFSPM0Y1r
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLrUo9Sl6J
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKvzzcgpUj
Collins was still on his tablet.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOmPmbOX4a

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVn9Vj2we3

"Nope. Just looking at 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3UBAgMcID
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR24eKqja7k
coming back late at night with the others."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhA9Rkc0yT

"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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHADiH9QGa

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn1uNOoJFI

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJSJcyweoI

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzInVRm39HU

Collins handed his 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqXJS9OOtZ
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Y0pv1i0M
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQwyehYVGK
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88a5jBwzaZ
having a great time.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlVDWeVqDh

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiz7P2NjNy

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rCHKSn3zY

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gsQ3e5P8g

"They should have as 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn6eT4gJNH
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRcfZa4YHL
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu0XCDEmph

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1khwZa0F9

"No, it's not about the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zW5GZIglG
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFw2z7nWK7
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEJUD4Kg5j

I looked at Lee who sat 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHPSKrLChc
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFtf1n1tQ1
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zYvEpWZHr
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7VBBbmGuI

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjWbANKcU3

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu20TQ03XE

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlI5KSkyl3

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP19R4HLUH8

"If I tell you, I'll 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL9XCkRDJo
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5GRbzLIKo
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfKIpUg9s9

Collins got up from his 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdZk88uFki
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58nE5BSxHd
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbIiacBXvA
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfox8Re940t

"What do you know?" I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYMnjITjJQ
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwUVy9jE06
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dnJhK1hxz
detective asking questions to a criminal.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF12UM6XIU

"I don't know," Lee 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZFetxaRQK
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki5XZx84aS
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9XcTvtg3I

I knew something was up 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX3wrSywN5
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyfvFYmqhW
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UAHP6kAIV

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9yXXNt9iD

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0dU8kYt6K

"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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6soXgJTDL

"Hey, what's wrong?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnSyt45FCn

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwGPLzYo89

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls1uHb8CTZ

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjgphByVDQ

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIwhUzjNm8

"Well, kind of," I said 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIhFvRoqUC
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv1MbNIvZM
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAllPt5LeYJ

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDv6QYGqy6

"Okay."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeXuMc9eWK

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ICCJ4eoC0

Lee, Collins and I soon 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcRxariH0m
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTREc1cAVra
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZK79AlqSJ
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlPtP09ARM
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC1qPH1ynH
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAKfWMyMXK

I was waiting in th 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrpG2kdsxE
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGNBIgrAMF
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlNIaryzOd
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv1e5raemM
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebahKUtwYQ

I was pacing up and down1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRnzWIuGzc
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg80Lrp6jz0
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK8eJ2yLRp
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi17jkGeq7a
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnPUh2Slez
and I was so nervous.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyMLXeh9HS

"Here she is," said Lee,1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9t6GYopeH
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1nOZdqnYS
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNZkZqtlZR
you, Tae."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b8YlVBa35

I frowned at Lee and I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R9PYw78Q0
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkx60BNWaV
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNWXwpBPxV
friend.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3ffAm3gtU

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH8JdIqhzm

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYWzox6DGN

"I told Taeyang that I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwDujS4D2p
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kdaHB7RLz
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqH4dKB5pN

"Our manager called me 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTfLn2VFZe
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ErOJrcdsf
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEPLADp9Nu
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXfADkFCLJ

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ALYuHb5wG

"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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ3wLCRdaZ

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0gS8idyoH

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWr5m9aJuU

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM5RJ9IaA7

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg1e7oadXY

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpvhetn7KW

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28G1l9aH4i

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r23GAX4mv

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrFhYOcJth

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oAyqNVMXk

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwVslIuam8

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQU1N2aE4c

"Sure."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmA64perCj

I gave Taeyang my 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa7RgjZN9T
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfSDzzFlnA
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C5TCYiz4j
cute together.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmDpCvyBzo

"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."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMQbgYF0XU

"Thanks. I was singing 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH2CYgAD5m
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFeHDUyciS
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlt51h2s2h
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR0kgbf5o6

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXyuoscYKC

"Well...not really," I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaH8ElGD5w
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoEw6koRW3
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb232fFtA2

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0FsnhhYQu

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE4sKfSWSI

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioBkgSOSk2

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI608hlFJvy

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt10UY2vLs

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS03FsFinVl

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6IdMfN7IA

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH5eYtvQdh

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElODlcVcaz

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAECPupy1K

"Right now."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMcPIGaCz2

We all turned towards 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4CwrXv61I
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrplOCv3dAH
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRAG1BfZoQ

When everyone got 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nctqHimt2
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM2BxW97Sp
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLYtyMYIwP
run out of the room.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1o6lSYrJW

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMilAZN4fuy

I nodded my head and my 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1RfzGaU1o
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ibALwDWto
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh8IKiypiU
ever got to play it.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQUrPVvevN

I felt a break of sweat 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCse22jzxa
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9DwBxL9rS
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbRGzx38Go
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9xqGoGkvB
strung the strings on the guitar.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc64Z5vOc2l

I started to sing as I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5a8qXXzwY
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv31kyl4GKL
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxKYVdLF5q
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxI6rsgrAp
didn't. Well, I hope so.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z73OMPi1J

As soon as I was done 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMEsShw9Pv
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpy69qayOs
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJG1qUDVKS
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjTCJ2yxzv
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHRdtOf00R
hoped they liked it.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlJljiAoMT

The studio was still 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ975myLen8H
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMATFXLGUB
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcJAUDiV4w
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lzSYhMsIN

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Ftu0PdCp
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJOCvFUhvV
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEAewIyTm6

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB8DBKAThh

This was it. The hammer 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4NJrBbj2j
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbABEbqAg1l
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqATqieIj7S

"....incredible."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SOqWTUdfY

I opened my eyes and I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAijx00gU6N
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tnEGtCZ5W
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaemJ12Dko
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUJZR1fEke
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB6Cj6UHSl

"I've to admit, when 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftD8FRhjHw
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymTPJOZLaE
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFKzk9pDwS

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4KR686j4T

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBKaY8oMrQ

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLyTTwDSsX

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHnKVwrn69

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqspY5DlXe

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXKH9ft4tg

I couldn't stop smiling 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLJr2JRCOw
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqcLUnSSGV
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnINbNEJnu
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj0h5hRFUi
good voice and a golden one.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhbKrMRro4

Immediately our managers1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3oZNwievR
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooDNBMPu2d
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgitJ5aDeO
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aVBJCCa0X
musical instruments.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB0rMtY5qr

This was always the hard1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEatw9hnXg
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk93eFyQ4R
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3J2GtCMjT
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXCnVZvH4h
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbnWLINT91

An hour had passed and I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmCNqepIvv
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQWJeXOvNw
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEKO8T9Gw1
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eJaaSnptD
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzPzkHsKLk
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAWfV2wjUM

"It's been an hour and I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAVxN5HfF3
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADGEBhIXLz
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQZbBftm1b

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVREYjb9TdA

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUWnJOsGkb

"Trust me, you're so 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HbZ3Wsait
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2silhF1jxZ
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3egantbtR8

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq1SFsEB2l

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuNF5h7ni8

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DAV1Ko0Lp

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK28BYHGxZv

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFXqnzPLsS

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ClztRdLKl

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofkGHZnKjP

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZTFMuaBh6
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GsmnASMvw
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhoCU92sDY
masseur."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwzqFa0TfB

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3snJkl0lJB

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgdLARE0J8

The music producer soon 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjuay1DWIp
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ5F4vox9E
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBrM9ChTNf
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UXum3YWnp
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkrvXjzKTV
recording the track.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpTwwkkoES

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTnMSyWftt

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS0VmqiRbF

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3VBfAMGQh

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVGeIYUH8F

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqinQu2fNH2

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a8S6cCCZ7

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTmGQga4X2
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JMg3zQfsd
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOWosM7cS8

"Let me guess, you're 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGMSBSOkkc
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGKqb2QtXt
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Hdg690Cq

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNTCVvVrVq

Something told me his 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEGQHxEZHp
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu3MV41Fqr
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8vOyiNO9S
always does.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN4VNAjb5E

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ziHsEIZ7y

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Viy3G0UZl

It was late in the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rIpz6vp8F
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMsZlJJLAm
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2wqKfNdmR
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf3m4FCXG4
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymbY5sgVFH

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt3dk9RlmI

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb5HnjNte0

I looked beside him and I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeWw93Jnfb
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqWZeleF3L
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWn4ezsMx1
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCD7Ybvl8p
leaning my head on the console.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd0lWVZ1eM

"I always hate this part1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iGZehF80I
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lNxj6NyUI
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS8jnlZPFb
console.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20BGPXEbXP

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XkerDI0BR

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFmioOxGXz

"I wonder what time."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kq3UCJRx9

"Wait." I pushed my head1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6ItR30zNy
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdPlm8hZmL
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSHdKqfYOf
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQWh9U54Rb

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivBjmqk4si

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG0Ww40fSG

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtEHUYwFu4

"I didn't sleep well 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDqvPhV70T
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoDzaa8prM
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnEyBXQFRx

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR85ROHCzKt

"You're right." I soon 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclDI96Jr6b
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuh5n26Voi
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN4YtjideY

"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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk221GUl5Y9

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdhgm3fRXG

"Alright. Thanks."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9SxYPLViY

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbOSTPFAw1

"And so will I," said Seungri.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtGf6gYPrQ

"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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswyXmlD0jC

Immediately I left the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4wSiajlRj
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiATRvqjYH
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZhet39g4e

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI3seELe09

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0uMRAe1SX

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37q2X8UI3I

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyby3VsWuk
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RfQfwOHJx
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoN7dl7F2I

The next thing I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeeYiMPoxa
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DQkuD3mfq
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmxsagUfN4
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZthCQfmVi

I woke up by the sound 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTkx5lOLh5
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ir1EiL1Cc
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7FD820otD
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59D74vRsB6
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyJmbZ0yvC

I reached out for the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAfdkyog30
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci995wIGpy
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj14cKHWJ6
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ScEDk0ke

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBcZNErZLE

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yuVXSxtgn

"I could hear it ringing1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMAiCRLqd7
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB2EwcXPCM
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVCHgJ5xJC

"Thanks," I said as I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHonSyTz5I
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M0zsQU0T4
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqmVDuUvPQ

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4kNDCrk10

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyb8wb14hS

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xSwPHSKEm

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCqHfY0Jnf

Lee left the room and I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWS0KKKyiF
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ2aCSrQmP
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gC50aQShH

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq5WNALY6b

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ7atuv20t

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8swaycZ1d

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d1oM25r2x

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0bXXMj7fX

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ858n9qhgRL

I dashed over to the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB58EA7xWH7
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjCopHkiww
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50zA04rCxR

It was now 10 PM and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3R12qKfXF
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwSZJuh5Ar
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKcVpISy6H
they were right now.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMbmXmthde

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ278LUESxxj

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2aAtYT7su

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnxgN1h4g0

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM1yZrIIMB

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqKR8Adejw

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibHSyEO8Ka

"True."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgJiwHpKkP

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYn3it0Gjk

Two bell boys came out 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLYT6JG2Nj
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBypGbMI37K
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FCE4KXz4m

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxKQOMdCNI

There were so many gift 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCayJCZ3vr
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UinDmaply
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZK6E8uNlV
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC0UXkvbnr
so pissed.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPegXvE6wXV

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBNHqfSGpE

"They are downstairs," he answered.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa19qJXuUc8

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mko7b8G4G

When the doors flew 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMopTwHG4A
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbWQRogAvA
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwVYWigyOn
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFIkBVaWkc

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Opz8wRr9M

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCekbL64kG

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq6FTwPnTf

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ykswfD9Vo

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5CxgIp3Td

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UfXpUaBUB

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYXaknypS3

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGWWmYni8B

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGfEHDUpwY

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aUaHd21Ft

I raised an eyebrow. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7Sryqzuls
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42kaOsY1of
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6FUWsMJW0

"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?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5nvwlYdZb

"Everyone just missed 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5or0yMWIXJ
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92dKBEF5RS
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSehWGVXFD

I rolled my eyes at him,1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KGsJ99mYp
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScsXRDZiBB
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf4wACaQSb
face when I hugged him.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Np3dD2Dd

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47PpEk2uJ1

"Wait! You missed TOP 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkWYrwmPs5
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW4NO3yu3Z
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNkQlKJTdf

I always loved it when 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulNp3KtA57
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgG3bcOAMh
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjCZQJB0Eq

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGZ0reXeBn

For a moment, that voice1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcPaAObff9
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUlm3thcxu
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3PZWxD9ne
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZiDVcB4LP
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxgABURRjM
he was still acting the same way he had left.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU72O1YsSvH

I was really confused. I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fCOdGIETM
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCFQQV2Vbf
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF2oeIUx30
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ21dzLGxuO
personal and it had to do with me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MCGMIRmKI

I had no other choice 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0lCDcKvhk
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHgt6AAR9e
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg9l95hAfN
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9swsdj1Lu

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla79duxfAX

By the look on his face,1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFgHaX1wZv
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhLKYJ4Hxj
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylS9ugipnG
going to end pretty tonight.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqfJZzl4qr

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudTJz0pNB7

"Ya, I did."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK00Q9kUkWn

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmERWHUP8JP

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYaNnl6Isv

"Can't wait to hear it,"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t3QFWXrE1
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39iazG29tA
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzLUhOoHbR

"Anything for you, 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqKYIUA15g
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm586XMuNUv
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXPSzkhXC9
look at Zoey.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GDD9E4xb6

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeeyylnKGf

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnDgczx9dZ

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmMPNNTNxz

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ABXqqnmAU

"You know Collins is 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKiTAZ87Cd
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqbh0mL3st
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGceaqVrUmI
floor.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzeFA2QCfy

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeWf2IaYrQ

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlv3XIflt4

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1xFpVf6xQ

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22iKuvmFnD

"We better sort out all 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptHvLMQm4u
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYyN67UFrK
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXxA9BaRB1
floor.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zys3vONDt

Sorting out all the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP211DOfspV
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqISDTQBvS
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4wBZUAz3B
had really bought a lot of stuff.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MMJnNIKAd

The boys had brought a 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oVYG2BSPP
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ouwmkl2Q
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0gKdKAz67
expensive designer shoes.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OrpXBuxde

As for Zoey and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr2mXPGO1y
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYiEdcCWoO
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVwYcP6qxx
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jsNMB3od9

"G-Dragon was helping me1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV41hq1gobG
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bBziKQ8sK
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cqTgVdXiu

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaveJJQgCq

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CW98xH8Bx

We were sitting on the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AfTtYQNio
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9lubr5tbS
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cLIQffV6t
stuff with Collins' too.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ32xu6N8OZ

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpJjbKg7qJ

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpBm3qpdQh

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKNgquAosW

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXEkYcnS6K

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyLqEqUgvX

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr9L7ibQBZ

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaVo8ruiUk

I distributed the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rNat4jSzG
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ERpTQNHV
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0hDSP9doY
was meant for me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoH4TVwh2z

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr5kaj4MB7

"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."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOaaaNpvXa

"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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzEbpWUtGT

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvV3qWn4aw

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WRKkSTV9L

For a moment, time 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC6nJAz4Ht
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd2RIVDvJE
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyACQskeTc4
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Wm7VKZE5
mess.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoNxCNmFHB

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5P9ae5tPc

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtIwcpWM3k

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGkqf119RE

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5wNmT8b1F

For me, it kind of felt 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NaBw08O23
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh3lQSp970
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Tugv20yO
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7APLzoLV0v

When Collins came to the1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMuGjiCAhA
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TCtadwhQ2
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwGmeP09TG
he just couldn't.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBCpDtL5Gl

"Hey, Collins," I said.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SWzjy8xJS

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Igpp7CwB4

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIATg3kUTz

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0dsafnFbV

"Thanks."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueNvUxrBGb

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlHQT7lJaZ

"Who?" I asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvsOrGYXAw

"You know who I'm talking about."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdabFxHwUA

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ3blripLU

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcIea0LqbW

Collins went over to the1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrnh7PCnJe
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffufW0qGk8
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXvFqcBQOn
up at him.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFipPRMKA1

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0STrVwFxht

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5sOSdheej

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6EULYq8jB

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9VVee9TLS

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYUvFkTcmx

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIWnaN0PVN

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8GKkHfHrI

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm05be0C9um

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83KftvlN5m

"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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP05Xgh88bm

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JC2TTQDNy

"Here, we brought you an1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEeml6hFgx
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofmnLJ6uJL
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HU8S1S0wh

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhs8231swS

"Thanks," said Collins, 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXcLnKrPPT
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb1UogcJRu
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFqBgFQcaP

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufRbSWApCp

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMvCg8ItTS

Lee was right. Collins 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkmUrULNhD
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OXDmeHbQE
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O6uPvFmFO
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQSSJxVS5R
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBwZ2C80YT
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9bHZe7MTD

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgMAjKGq0O

We continued sorting out1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR3DKyUOrA
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xcHeyVd93
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ2UB3gMqG
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxUSA3nmCO
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO5viyIgy7
already too late and we all needed to rest.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdS4N6R9RH

We hadn't managed to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQNxnGrLey
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb1uyCVIjv
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr0laJB1bP
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RCSpLc2el
course.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbPiurkPvp

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEkKedK8Eq

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdj4SpUEir

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo2774Tipm

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxOkqujUvL

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AEv5mu5Gx

I looked at her with an 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJrTQQ8iXl
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Bug9U8sS
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8IpSHWNAw

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo3yig8X4C

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKOUcD13WP

"Fine?" I looked at 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFjAI6JU4Y
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hr8IqIlJI
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0WehNyXxt
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn9w0KPA4y

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDlkQuQfHT

"Tell me, please!" I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi10mrptQJA
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnzdz73m82
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob8tb0g4hy
tell me something. So tell me!"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShfNEZ36Za

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XV2G4Cewp

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpbHmveTjN

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEWMsy01X6

"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."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbxNkYy6C7

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypJhoQ4X2F

I felt really excited 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6XA4BUJiA
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjHsYWTJl5
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLZcUC0qaE

"I don't know how I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCII6DUdHu
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZGMJxQ4Iv
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8pwN0ff6H
Tower."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9EK4QYmHh

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65dqG75UmI
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2x4Vgorrd
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFdeZ9qaTp

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXnaN8hYDu

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEkOfOn84o

"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."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm2mEJ8aYh

"What?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbjG1ep1xi

"When we got to the top 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEP9vhKMpB
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUfjpjpaZA
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEwqctmKZ3
others had left and it was just GD and I."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS822drw7t

My eyes grew wide. I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx84BdOJUdt
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQDg1BJpHK
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M2bUXXnPW

"You two kissed."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhTaFH5pWT

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJiaGgOgkg

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kq76RYuyK

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWrXBtLAM4

"Well, you were in one 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6eqWWv2tM
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7uqo1wMn7
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANwVMJty2o

"Smart."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpZciD79Vb

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Jquesrb5

Zoey smiled like a fool,1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNpsZfLuA4
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSmkA7wOHE
it was so magical at the same time."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOuqgAbgrK

I couldn't help but 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB7vDrOoA8
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nf9WTHJaO
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww3jAe9FRZ
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih6kfqwQPf
everyone at the prom.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl5Q87Q9zr

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vt2Jd6sKY

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BZBTZx3sV

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7CVncZ4GE

"And? Anything else? 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IuT7qPeUH
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNToktuQuJz
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDvUmgdKgc

"When we were on top of 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hSvL0FJEh
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvdGbvlowz
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2785ZUNRe

Well that's a bummer. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWPZY1KYfM
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GA1WUVhyY
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUIF5lXSoL
really liked Zoey and not me?1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra1KSwDdN6

I brushed that off. Why 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsurS4bay80
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9faLpx1lC
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYGV9kBMR2
hopes up with it.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpAqw6T5mj

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdNePE7uQH

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyx8uxhenW

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtMMHHb6Ne

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w7lVQssCd

"Thanks, Sam."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IQrvUxx32

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h7TMViJLx

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ3yoswr9r

I left Mr Panda on the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlrMKE2Qeh
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi9dZQr1d0
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nBdL6iGoV
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyJE2OG4iJ
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslpWHOoVme

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIZb7ttubO

"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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9AlfQpW5u

I laid my head on the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NMWaMokCT
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdrw8JG4LT
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlV8eVSZ4t
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACK88vwlNw
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IOfK0S3Dw
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaRlYGpv8a
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SOBSIcwR6
have been.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeflBRfa7q9

Zoey would have only 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEI1gWmfuq
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs12tOxDZqY
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoUaOMZcCa
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpGes1PO9t

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtG0zGimqF

I pulled Mr Panda closer1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM6GGNDmxo
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs9MeqtQeB
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAyuwFdpXa

***1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwVifBHMQG

I was given a round of 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ746rqbJ66U
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t7Zt8lR2s
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct0gD5GmYO
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZU6sqG0TZ

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghFKLeHi0j

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhdVCuJCNc

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzunJNCu3wY

"Then you better eat 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOEfUSA5y6
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1w9SiLOod
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9didWflWg

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfygEsfUSk

"I can't wait for us to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDdhuoBof2
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzQiPBMy3z
beside me. I could only tell why.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3NjOFTngG

Christine who sat 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkMq83BphE
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoJAomkp7b
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcEQnPuGcf
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCvoHkESic
and G-Dragon.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjclEfyZcb

When we were done 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQrrdJZMVe
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tYTt96mnW
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMokv225eB

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwxG6Gkdhm

"What is it, Zoey?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAqHTDgQN0

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pl9K639Ti

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0bcOM6MN7

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZh4XXshYk

"That's the problem," 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZvxTTQIhl
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOotDxlGlZu
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtgDNDE9Hn
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CoKYOUqUq

Mike turned away and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxLh7pDzES
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYowdkJdRh
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9ijp3azuo
something?1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhKmWtF10U

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6sfDaBEQN

We agreed with Christine1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaBrLh4sj7
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtcmWqWTPj
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33QJTsGOPt
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2r9V00kxG

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXtLwz5OSr

"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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcscbGC5huc

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuOobqx7Rj

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kgKAWKtKL

"I also feel like I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca46Dkn0Xl
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrKaPOpj84
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzivhBuexmV
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL3wopa3Zi

"Do you think we should 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQwUnoKwWB
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XfyzjuAzj
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJEreorKPi

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSyz9uM7I3

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ynWFcbBRv

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMxnT6AUGZ

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYXJxiMZ2R

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY54xdZN5G

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Slmwe1mi

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JTNM91dbZ

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMf2glb4Ay

I stood up from the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cvMvAamit
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqywpUqwfF
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sb38op7zu
conversation.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysKPqvG5Xb

When I went back, I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe8Ux5ix6I
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcigo37Td7
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL7wTwAg0g
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSPqtJo3d9

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUREn175pN

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBxvfe0LvW

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCCyj8Ssny

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1I8irMDZL

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ovxVnlQNa

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK2bjRbWN5

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡche2tcWDbh

G-Dragon gave me a weird1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkSNsYQbR9
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE5DXSFilx
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNKoa5L7LJ
took their place on the couch.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswRcIGgBvE

"Christine and Daesung, I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1885TP38lY
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mHFPVyDMa
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqZqC7Dp0p

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKBFfpUTxe

"Ya, we will sing the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3oQM2t7cw
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTAAuaDGpC
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cg65xAFMd
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfaPW8GzEV
producer has the lyrics printed out."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbH1jObc3u

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLObTBMmy48

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCZ5pMtq6U

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbWNt5L5RN

Then we all went over 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwrzo2GI1n
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiuxtOT8r3
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYM6bvdJFy

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW88U3JhxDR

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu7x3mPUVl

"Me too," said TOP.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbsGQl6NaC

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHsl7kcpJX

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeJI6dvdKO

I didn't look up at him 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIXpi1G3vZ
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TtPr9OrRx
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjVgztjjOv
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3AqvHh4SF

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAyEL90KBs

I started to relax my 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlog0fPCUtv
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4WG6AkIuH
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70T06kEPDO

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuxxYiWw83

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQL5s7M6sY

G-Dragon came to sit 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqYgyGUGrx
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nxWlKr5aM
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7WPXOAizo
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZuumrgTgB
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPf3cC9Rzh

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0tddpdWNg

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡombkZztdI6

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VYOjsZN9r

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtgwE2Cpbd

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kS78P2LYy

"Really?" the music producer asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM8kYJIiek

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjZa1oC5Hi

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnjG5v6HCN

"Give him a chance, 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABAaNhfbkD
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK7gg3UNXT
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefDEKkdcCm
headphones and put them on.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IgrGKlPAL

"Okay, this is 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0M57Z7KmA
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZFCH2k1js
join them and see what needs some changing."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx11iYwod0M

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1ZExYiog0

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5CS9c0iaw

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS7G4dNpXa

The others looked at me 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiImfNcvOiy
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQGYyJgO5y
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw820engp0

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g6OMTz597

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b8hnz7UNz

"That's going to be a 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61HyQY9sCr
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh2W0QCbsv
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewoa23MRin

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgSaZRxAbr

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DrYpbYLlU

"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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rdckeiWTp

I looked over at Zoey 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vDCqInC8D
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH9shqdHeE
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX6DN5QCPy

I put a stool in front 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog1am3o0LO
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO5hp8z2IW
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9vy9CGg5Y
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5ybtDx8w0
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFMriFwktu
others.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziPog4OOfW

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlmhLglzvq

Taeyang and I sung the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrkcHCrcIc
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9htvvLiUPG
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvWNj2s6fm
great and everyone cheered.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E2hTNGDNm

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFzDbXiXAa

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ96zptQ2vD

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsEixjUYAR

TOP started to rap the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrCE0KlIje
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yUvTI4rd9
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVF8vlvZNg
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMSmBqvgEB

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEtSnpACki

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJg0Ub8NHh

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmywc68X6PJ

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxNALZxRme

Daniel and Seungri sung 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRvILUUPhI
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFOB3oDycA
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTG2TAs6zU
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpjW4fAvBQ
clapped for themselves and cheered.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPyTx6VQU9

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwu2FuXX0O

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWVUhZOGiS

I almost fell off the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEGrEiWplK
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvw74M9qIg
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxHjLSNMpL
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA2bRSeLLI

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhHNseljC0

"I have to say, you all 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCMd0mstuJ
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeGgyftMwo
smile. "Keep up the good work."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5c5eJyuJY

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rMfjSWQYr

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo9kvqYSax

No one said anything. We1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUXDcgXl5o
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOuE3RmVes
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQROkFMZzR
talking.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Euj5tDXb

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynSahVGouX

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0DDEQ87Xv

That, I couldn't answer.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA9MMgRNkk
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG5HitIK74
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cTm5uVHGh

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXInKq1EplS

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0yCNHOif7

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnUny5XouW

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGLPV5dyvI

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyN5cP7eki

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuU6Wjjmb5

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fax3se99O

"I want them back here 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnHOGUTTrd
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa2aCFCaI9
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnsxnHfRxj

I gulped as I felt the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgF0mgdNcZ
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk8Iou9SfU
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoEsL7peug
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpBhPiH554

No one said anything 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYXFIlI0Ff
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti5rg7eEDj
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJTDn78Iut

"Where could they have 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq0kXO7O2i
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafOnWoaMUu
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOoKBAVheK

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nlS1IEGEM

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl86VQT6HT2

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYYsNL2OBn

"Then we better start 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHDHU4YVrT
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByvee6XdXQ
looking for them will be difficult."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjPQdikW8E

We all agreed to split 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsoEwkhkL3
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIniF2a4mJ
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMi4NNldqw
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMndvxQ5nI

All the studio rooms 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxzqFI9oDP
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP64Kw3KtcQ
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZNr5jtELu

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI1zvPfktG

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TDBPmGOfU

"Almost fifteen minutes."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu7oOzhit7

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxfRx3qn3U

He nodded and pulled out1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdunuOzbdv
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTT7zlDnSX
walked out of it and came towards us.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsxRY9DmKS

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yfrIizixU

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxowYOKKxub

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2nwDc8fBS

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVSwzG4DE4

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN9jZiPMhL

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2YzhUr8cG

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUCYRqeSlw

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT7TigjW8S

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLiwR2ed66

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEeEwEoQ6T

I hadn't said a word 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpl5H9uu9N
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BppCna1mv
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPvR961ggR
but worry.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8PLB6ryqi

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQkvpP410y

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5BFNCrXur

Daesung motioned his 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM9IdtY40W
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2bUeBgL0q
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxzgbpWNjs

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugrzS7UJxz

Taeyang and the music 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR3TqmTKBa
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eq3edECTY
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPZwW0tOcS
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7WKHTJy6B
and angry at the same time.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs05khVuH0

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NNoXPh9J6

I looked over at Daesung1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwt1fgblbf
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf4uhxFoAZ
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHIWzxQhuS
the play button.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnquRo2MtwH

***1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7ztXqXSn5

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhIi9DEaSW

I came crushing back 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDynQM3GJ7g
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn9iu4ehFu
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6bDrsXey6

I had so many mixed 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWD4NZQqDG
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPqkRb2Aw2
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR20PY59Wx
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj5am3ydJi
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEojCCWr0G

I could tell that the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZssDh9atO
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJttqPccx1
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjRN0FPxNg
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxQqR44ZCQ

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JovTGN9SB

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EMALALVQw

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF7D93TH7l

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MkJpXVa04

I folded my arms and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwiK3nYNHC
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFatger7M2h
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjI0FgqQdR

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaKtZe9nZy

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QyACbwbiV

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dXmctXSbu

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbu9lVteYO

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgKepiXV0t

I could feel the others 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbgW5I2rq7
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIohsR97PYp
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIeZwzFSYn
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBiEn43TkF
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgpCpPrPOI
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGHSCnwRU4

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9DlZ2zEYG

"Okay." I nodded my head.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAxUYuLmRM

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhurBXy6xkE
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SmaeuAyeL
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRKJPT2dXU

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5RLwsEHsq

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rsh5d07qh

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBfs3bkcQT

"Not until I hear what 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg2YhONxqA
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABJckp7thd
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IKbLjaAvd
trying to calm down.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuNf3bNs7O

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMfIZW4FnY

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpfBVnPTmk

"So that we could get 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc48ApKwvs0
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq5EwhbPgi
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9VwyDqJgH
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA1i3JwNKs

"I agree with Sam," said1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCvSHKIPjw
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLupxH0Jf2
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LHw8bVC7P

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuMyqeTueR

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsjK6SmssX

The rest of the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HnNy2UjWM
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH0ArHHklE
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRyquUfICZ
playing cards.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WLiJQghKx

I was leaning my chin on1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsbuQ8sqYE
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L59EeS23X
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NSzcjJIWS
especially to me.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJdpZT7QZO

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR6SNhitJK

I suddenly sat upright 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUwQLiy9G0
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETZaC5sfGR
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeXQgjP8YB
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk7TOyTSha
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tbAwXF45Q

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFNbqNiQEu

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa7SlVeZGI

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNJDObl1d5

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPNCevGsGh

"Maybe we can just order1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWjTXRhZBi
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH00RaRV2oA
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP8kEZV5gS

"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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4GaSu6FaV

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF05nct8Mt

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2oWjPPlsN

"I heard that Zoey and 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxqVvqF82G
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh5kf1uNo9
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hDsJIangs

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jOpq9gzZR

"Then it's a good thing 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2tRL0P4NP
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzWgYQ306c
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4njjRgyJvp

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdgBbXRCoH

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc30pqGT8aq

Everyone soon dropped 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXof9bb6I4
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ccb8lwhRQ
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ObwolFC6i

I had never eaten pizza 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyww2DamRtm
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZUZgF21Cl
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJK9RMJO8l

We were done finishing 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JXAmtaZ2S
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU0S2848id
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPbHFLFpUd

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKq0LZVV06

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAXEBCYF2l

We were huddled up on 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNMGzueqIF
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrKTAljvfv
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XKdPqfRZM

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV8MVWS7TT

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGernBIh8c

"You lied? About what?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ae0n5roFq

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKRqTfV4NS

"But why?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xFZJBPM4S

"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."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujfyaxn17h

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?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmEO6isIxF

I didn't expect Lee to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleXXBJXHhs
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mnKuywHWq
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxnICeewug

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BlKpYaCvC

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZSFuOPlgN

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm91CPbQXR

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JugIMFhsh

I stood up from the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMQkkSTj1t
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHSqXRXURM
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtce7qkPdd
later.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORW9qyqjjZ

Trying to find the right1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJN9gLKhFl
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt5SdnzIQ2
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XLtYQ0TgQ
what for, was the question in mind.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAXaExIxo9

"Aren't you going to 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19bzbq3mCg
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmTZmnpsdr
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17VAYwieZy

"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."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkFTdEuLd5

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYRbUl32Et

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qXH1nBnZO

Lee went on to look at 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6aMtc3x5T
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdBWlb1n1F
just thought they might be arguing again."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARRLepXn09

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0p8MOmOWF

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dppkmYbIF

"I don't even know what 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1KOAU8Bam
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn7yyBkZRr
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrghTsJENGj

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNNG4ocTIS

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62wnKhzdgx

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4GCkA9OmA

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhbtIdCvIb

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdfDYeDU5Y

It only took five 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SUYGaFQ1Y
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWIyb9Bov2
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZKJ5fjcdt
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnwGLurTST

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6pIoyQLXi

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTzY40gPOc

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv8y9yc7Rv

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8sFpP1vln

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J3xrshwuF

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrS6XKb4gw

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwtQupBRne

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmShYlYoNI

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsjrw7YrYo

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQPswrYK6j

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkSrH5mPTU

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBEHfBlim2

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vTO0hRycI

"Why did you this?" I asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ965L2GBdxy

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEZGnDc3Z9

"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."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZKBkrsiDh

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UmhYmVNGJ

"The instrumental is in 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIlEDymPNG
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcwSOPpsH7
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQojklnXOFI
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UaTOtQMnB
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3V0X1IFQ9
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7jQQkysNy
pissed."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIQ4HRhkBC

"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."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JliaZJD3F

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0lAz6S5BO

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba4Ea2pjWD

I looked at Zoey and she1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSLLuNjI57
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfi9ZvFrcY
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12v1kr30GP
was mad at me for.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX1K1pWWO1

"Now is not the right 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSlqX2hdtc
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0UUABHeBe
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4Ectn8CU4
understand.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ512tZ34eym

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Of0GAXjga
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxJ1QYzfqx
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXQy7LMHZT
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xRHUCjeRU

"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."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfn9vvOX1z

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpX7930ESx

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7G9vBKbRD

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VXxemJpOI

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrnZVJyg5D

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBhjt0hCgT

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KEsZB7mol

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsMRoIv8YK

I paused with my mouth 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48P1xoSH4M
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0QiC5APKC
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCTZ6WyCFX
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXKUZKRTZO

I looked at G-Dragon and1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqylAzjPXz
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZvQT9JqtO
face wondering what he was thinking.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1g0sZY6A0

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmadfO82NRn

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGUdoHF9hu

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlzAeZnFrh

I smiled and Seungri 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxpI7Tq9To
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2MMHqlCES
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJhFsTIsDz
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbU0ye4V2Z

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3OCoFfS9x

I smiled a little more. 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dPDnwsjji
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM2TWaGlZ7
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRI11IngiP
were at war again.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs75exh02FY

"But we can't start 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnLXHoeYkk
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XtDKmCjQE
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QtMPO9amj

I sat upright and alert.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ65bRFvEp
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJWa3hz36H
have to record the track the day after?"1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHJinxPhio

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS0eOnnLFu

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9vFrrxN9Q

"But why didn't you tell1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHvaetbwNN
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvDcMsV92d
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PV7fzeDJL

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmACx9wgcH

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuc2kyov3b

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkjH7pO23Q

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DANDWgXy3

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4VMsMIe0V

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyjFSjfa68

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22XYHq7IKg

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzhVnO2ZUt

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkEJXEf42E

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fmm4tDtsF

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYYJfLUV33

I turned to look at him 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya8YLQqS7s
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrpf3mPHfU
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6TkLm4ZLC
me like that.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPlTYMCD3E

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5MX2aWjGZ

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YKM1v8WYf

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ilvyBdDB

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplLydmB8ij

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEAclwKlaa

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFQN7PtFTU

We looked at each other 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Vrssroi6
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjYuuGeUeI
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvwnZCHCbb
Maybe he also felt the same.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6D0GRmF54

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.1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2CWtnqkhR

I then realised that I 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBsyevYlsD
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSVbeQgASg
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9g99sumx4
another time.
