My body ached all over 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUzFVYlrmy
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbydbNEbUMf
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKnobgcJ0Y
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATq0CuWKQg
bed.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt46R03wSM
I scratched my head as I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObzjBNim19
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZrOCqATZ7
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJA5oUzsJf
he found me here.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR4eRrECrj
I slowly stood up and I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2litf1nqQd
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5KDnfkuOl
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY52ePcMPVC
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0l6kP9BSE
"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXamAFBzIpp
I almost jumped in 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHeE2GhfPU
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzUU5Rai4I
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzxpixWyzf
obviously reading the news online.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEPaOHm1iO
"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAWNLR5h3M
"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVeA7Db1YG
"'Don't tire yourself 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99oi7yGrXM
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnZw4mLzuu
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbJL4t3tAA
"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDuPJ5WQG2
"Oh, you were listening?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75ojG5tPsc
"Ya, you kept on playing1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjB0Uh3GkP
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqPDuoOphK
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qiykZ9F7C
"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LmiwcasE2
"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN1ZxMDa03
"For covering me with a blanket."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMZUDmMyRK
Collins looked at me 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLQEq4fQMV
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL76sPXRJf
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaLv85nScM
"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lADtSLHfK
"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXEyaHVW9Y
"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegL9arjGaI
"Me too."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigCDhd3D93
"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiXjHzGFaW
Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Nds69kIcN
"Going to take a shower," I said.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXHvQl9fQP
"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEU46PwFNN
After I freshened myself1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCwDnXCyfP
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaCBwJQIrH
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVjQYju4S0
Collins was still on his tablet.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9uAXpUxCd
"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcjjFmfMrL
"Nope. Just looking at 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpk05qJWFi
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS5O1Y1bq5
coming back late at night with the others."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykJCdZ9ggN
"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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmFUIgWaqf
"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcSZF8ekte
"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlaA5RxqKS
"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFlLiZYpLZ
Collins handed his 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP1ftG4asU
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSG6T9cqSW
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhXyYT5KQF
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAbHfRHyGb
having a great time.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XGOO4Pg0U
"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgmuezBn4C
"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlGstMSa1p
I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrOVOQbzVK
"They should have as 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9JJWp4jcX
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKvAD85hbb
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY50zeJzOEW
"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ8jDv3RGB
"No, it's not about the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZNZIZaFdI
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjp9QLbMLc
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gs9Kx1lN6
I looked at Lee who sat 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA1G0byLqQ
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMpwXTyl1O
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNjng7J1UF
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE35QCR5SHU
"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiRVEwb8le
"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB2XUBmNUm
I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHqX2CRTYk
"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO6S1FALFu
"If I tell you, I'll 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MRQFJxdwk
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytnelHvitS
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HDt88N9ii
Collins got up from his 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEbkqILAu8
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwIh523y8s
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtSmTlh9BM
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9skRW4Jvo
"What do you know?" I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tEcywWQtA
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7k5y5Tu61
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri3o2AT3Ft
detective asking questions to a criminal.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8wW28khOd
"I don't know," Lee 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGOtdsCJFA
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4ho9lC2Vk
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPQMTr3pW9
I knew something was up 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1qlSavVDK
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjGEpjRQDG
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLwCUWdaWy
"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5cxg92CLC
"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfKO3MUsd4
"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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCkoEdIdfI
"Hey, what's wrong?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GIIRzWYrT
"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnL6zrvgCN
"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtHHgpWOa8
"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH5PGAMGnO
Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZM4ns6wcY
"Well, kind of," I said 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nAezW7HH7
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPzvg9sjhp
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeIpFWLeo7
"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEIO1YKXBN
"Okay."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVrNNnUoBZ
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHUzjhpROv
Lee, Collins and I soon 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0VmEpPJyp
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNhB4Wwd53
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3DKmVT5nb
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVmzIzeTGw
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7BT5AmqgI
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05y5CAQ3Ly
I was waiting in th 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIi8bV8zRv
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX32Sv1Oow
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuYHEp4DBB
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9VnCWk0xa
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SnLDwoUmM
I was pacing up and down1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLsSZt4IGe
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gtv3uB42d
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI5ryLbCFN
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUxumEfm7u
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkWeqIAW2d
and I was so nervous.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrKjWUCH8r
"Here she is," said Lee,1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwxQgTT0hZ
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhapYb2P7w
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75zLTI65oj
you, Tae."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHt4AsGUQa
I frowned at Lee and I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFUFIlJcFH
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSeCQgRttA
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPvJKw9jYg
friend.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz49NZML4IE
"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem3YGhIODb
"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZN86I3eff
"I told Taeyang that I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlowymAL2gc
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj3u9wEraU
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskLEBKL3wR
"Our manager called me 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZEqUGtto1
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM8tUqFOZt
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWMC5MsJFD
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXkkKEGhCE
"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dGb2whoWB
"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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu3vEAZHYl
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNhwHEGGDc
"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ338fz5ERZT
"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfXb1SGTFa
"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTbbeAA36c
"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIxAUObzMK
"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFu1sQugqG
"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFSIdQY05g
"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMRwLlKGUe
"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyZuGnE5Hk
"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtgRQ9bp7h
"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtLYCqhVgO
"Sure."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep1DBr5AsR
I gave Taeyang my 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2MxEyyzAp
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLcjjYZOlt
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovT1g4jBiS
cute together.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyKAqLjdFl
"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."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE4RJRi6ge
"Thanks. I was singing 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYzKQUw6dr
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BmS7M9OWR
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX5t7q1hqB
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFsgW1ncGA
"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl10Gdxosux
"Well...not really," I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAq9aFY9DS
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfZmtIgpeW
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Xk2OHRRM
"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZHwHa3TOu
"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHe0C4rQnO
I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD89fetj0r
The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z8RxI1HBR
"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbfJ6Auvae
"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWNjV0snYM
"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr2bUmwuJH
"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFpvdIzowv
"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY28n1lLUwR
Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjkMNH6ezg
"Right now."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDBV5baX3g
We all turned towards 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0xH57UZvX
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkozocK9C2J
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnug4eiSpb
When everyone got 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0j9r91PsV
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs9P2GmWzF
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj6s6ZoLsU
run out of the room.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOEDPLRpox
"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3fXXla5FX
I nodded my head and my 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDNKLwohBY
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGdscTLCYE
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Oe9jiPDLh
ever got to play it.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdWryjSFXS
I felt a break of sweat 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWVWVFSz3B
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfHr225HnF
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez6UBbdDvq
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sguGs2bDq
strung the strings on the guitar.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvTSqPJrpx
I started to sing as I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoLGZZftyD
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3hTLPhLzJ
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNvWvay4bj
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSWO3JBBXj
didn't. Well, I hope so.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ3naBFpZq
As soon as I was done 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh4awBHEoq
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Hn2sLjKD
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPPJSF1HHh
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDeAgtVgA9
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu1tCR1f7i
hoped they liked it.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDNDpP5qvI
The studio was still 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcBPHmwLpb
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPHyUOCHHH
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTUovGowth
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24P4k97Rlu
Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv2bPWj1mb
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7jsvUC7oB
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCxRawC8A0
"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIVuiASk6F
This was it. The hammer 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0rxw2DARM
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIUfdykGBQ
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR9kveJeHP
"....incredible."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaISSVLULtz
I opened my eyes and I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyTxKntsew
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXU2xnzgQm
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy6U1Fm6aY
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNVE5b8E2i
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXs1ZLtzMu
"I've to admit, when 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ciNlgGvCH
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK9zRrS6zD
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdscgOypkUp
"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAvY0qWmCU
"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ0Kury7u4
"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidiDsfDcXI
"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9zVemNt3E
"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJm2k53F21
"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYe4kv59W3
I couldn't stop smiling 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WHd69Rh16
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83jRvZE39t
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFFOhzcUB8
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0U8kER47I
good voice and a golden one.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV6kmuk26H
Immediately our managers1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hmS5VwUR2
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6yKF4APsM
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsw38k4vse
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8XCKIUyFj
musical instruments.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ99ggHPDT
This was always the hard1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCUebSFlBQ
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rz78SdAHu
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRdtJY97SC
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5QQ5eGiy0
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFhupJUOlP
An hour had passed and I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuV13HbDv6
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacTzP80haR
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtKMrb6Mu7
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jx2lDjazk
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg8l8F5wdp
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDjb2H5HaK
"It's been an hour and I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jJ7d3URrl
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0YgeJbzlJ
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCDdMy0IAH
"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAov5C77zMz
"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbpM29ppei
"Trust me, you're so 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDjvRMtxdS
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM9hVzUIIr
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfC1xjquF8
"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ah5rbELFD
"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUkxpst1EV
"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAI5cpFT4p
"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xg9OPRPpb
"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1XejrzKiO
"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjcET8iwmZ
"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EwHdgTEIV
"Mmmm." I murmured in 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDJzRjjBXS
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjWIvse5Zx
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhIgxPHRS5
masseur."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnSaDPhoxc
"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRgr1kguGv
I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrANuHdusy
The music producer soon 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbpQgMVLeL
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAuvgzUTEg
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcff2S5TPoH
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc1MkwbhKZ
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra3FFFBh3h
recording the track.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mm44bKPYa
We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1mPNvZsIX
"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroGvpFHwup
"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKAxt9Luk7
"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXpDis6RmB
"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRzKJmlmRP
I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYA2jXTRvX
"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJpOCmWR4X
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiJZSdctRN
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWBEW2u8Wu
"Let me guess, you're 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pelr8qKGJ
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy9aYQy43i
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD0uorNmud
"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAp8UD12mk
Something told me his 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO45I6TumLL
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg4HP7Lalu
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT7ymPVfDd
always does.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ8nGEDAy4
"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCojMybJAzH
"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qF83VwKLR
It was late in the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevW5gbvmCD
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQX94UMWhh
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUDo3JAgjX
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5zsT0kpDs
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpOEPW3ZAs
"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyOjaJLPx1
"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGArSr1QTk
I looked beside him and I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0adj9dcE3p
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tDjTbvK6S
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU1elRVc7z
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HCXQHPR9k
leaning my head on the console.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHYWKRwguc
"I always hate this part1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhbg7LiOLU
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sVbcqhIq2
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbJ7CCXlkP
console.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakgF4zRWX9
"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4pZ3r3nyj
"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERAyGRQDCe
"I wonder what time."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTktEYOrMC3
"Wait." I pushed my head1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ385qVGiMTv
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ6eZMPuGN
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi5krEEtAV
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IbTvgJ5aD
"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb27ossJTw
"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHyzFDPaxA
"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgATeeUuQA
"I didn't sleep well 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjgNlh67nq
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpWle8VJgz
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3vxwYNczP
"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwB7HKctBE
"You're right." I soon 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXOgVvEAOO
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kBcMauT7j
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDSXKHsAgq
"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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiH4vYoixg
"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTbyavPzZD
"Alright. Thanks."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVBRnNZseJ
"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ5mSqjVuy
"And so will I," said Seungri.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKy2Df4wHN
"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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJww5anjylv
Immediately I left the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ596t0lRqY
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaUsOuSsih
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk84IjS6Wl
"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAWhAGEnrG
"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZuhXrMPuY
"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdGHWRJBc
Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUYqtDnIJQ
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG7zCd39Li
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErwrzpuBof
The next thing I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpinog1z9r
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vhyGIlIoJ
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWxHMiVoYb
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBZtDEma90
I woke up by the sound 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXbIDDk5oo
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATPP4wxi0D
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSfK82vAyp
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W32m0pODv
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnGJBcCPkL
I reached out for the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17YK6bkZqC
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQjoiPSog7
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOUcTOrx42
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgxhlrnIUd
I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMZJySesZw
"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi26VvO3Ja
"I could hear it ringing1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMmuVqXDvE
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfnDuuNDG1
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lzM59iADq
"Thanks," I said as I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmrivOSevz
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b5hJ7FhKg
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdA5aUnC98
"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHcitM2fJV
"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOdHiAN2bJ
"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0zVzW5XmG
"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6urry2Y7N
Lee left the room and I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ER9M53x5
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48eIEAwmy7
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbdBqVtmTk
"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkLdDeeHPc
"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyxY8oKi7e
I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXgOg8UzJJ
"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuZM2JUbYi
"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LcdbWrAVW
"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFbdzxNRmO
I dashed over to the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I7MBYvuRA
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNwU1vrMx9
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iMNv4FKLy
It was now 10 PM and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQguNyyYinK
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GUR2nXwbr
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aZIzXiM9T
they were right now.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWG1xlMLex
"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFhSG3RxE6
"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6eB3sT4PZ
"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Wo7s6gTI
"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUOnB20fa4
"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO2tHUzF8r
"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ae09KC4u7
"True."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxVU43Sql6
We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGuppmYxSS
Two bell boys came out 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8hGwjQFIm
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxTF7QLLqS
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhNuX1FJ1U
"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpWHlX4Xsr
There were so many gift 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWP4WO0Hyn
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH9fysIvN4
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5zSb6mwoA
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf6vXNZ36S
so pissed.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aWZLCOkYO
"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhefTTLpc4
"They are downstairs," he answered.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsXaiHHZCd
After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiJJQS4MB5
When the doors flew 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHNIVXudAW
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQzgmH92vd
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ndVFEIIqO
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxWRO49LuH
"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zSciStzol
"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSIZqXWjQB
"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zp4rEXp6U
As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG3liz7gqx
"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYGFAww2MI
"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW0V4I6cc7
"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpQCvoVt4w
"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWIIEddq7D
"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVdIeb6Ayk
Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzri4iNOWZD
I raised an eyebrow. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9pmsYJbKn
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeC9BV9OCZ
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFSG0q9P0p
"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?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJqquNR6ws
"Everyone just missed 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuLhd4Jzst
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUxzptWHFT
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxcFtX6GpQ
I rolled my eyes at him,1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb66NwgtY8
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7DDhM9juM
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrWZ5ISHfD
face when I hugged him.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmTU7hSiC1
"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz04unn1tvu
"Wait! You missed TOP 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KOA2aph1m
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqs7FWKO9r
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Wbpqx04S
I always loved it when 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAycuAhxqqn
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtMvK3OYqJ
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYohH3J0as
"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ383Qx5jzMM
For a moment, that voice1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGoRXkL9Om
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFi336UnEZ
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB2iopERmP
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGZLRBTzyx
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVcdoinLN8
he was still acting the same way he had left.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhY6GEa7Qg
I was really confused. I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3S6BIDOG2
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewJtHy23T0
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTnNqkh38F
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2h6v22TtJ
personal and it had to do with me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbPJbbkE3F
I had no other choice 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf4avHyHAc
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquTTwxfh29
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nPR5VlfEC
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWzdVETS6y
"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6EFvUGg5m
By the look on his face,1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEshnS0D0TZ
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMJS4LzCAW
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKhh9BjzFL
going to end pretty tonight.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIAf4NbQ0p
"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMkzPIq239
"Ya, I did."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7WQABqxid
"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkeayFuYcF
"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgApNF52SU
"Can't wait to hear it,"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZVuBIlmUD
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ItuzywGK3
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmixEB7iLwM
"Anything for you, 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhKM6bFnQS
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvikDpaLb3E
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sHZ5BxJBV
look at Zoey.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAdz2YAiXb
"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAooF7pK2Mf
"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnumNQygIO
"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaHnHmafbO
After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7Oxp5olk4
"You know Collins is 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76di3rDe0o
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjL9X1akuU
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLUjbLiOuJ
floor.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQuHryGkeG
"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabSQyDGg8T
"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88hPCvLfOw
"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ShRaZUCvG
I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Kd71d5OE
"We better sort out all 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qPNYxDxLQ
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLKl5VyjX0
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kug8HA2RZ
floor.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gklJxIngw
Sorting out all the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimlQxcJusa
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gyo7b3ul6
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AI4ldaHWQ
had really bought a lot of stuff.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseKwzYAYEn
The boys had brought a 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs6LqnITyc
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G7fkPm3og
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuSvRIlorG
expensive designer shoes.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsKeapvfUp
As for Zoey and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWa2QIu9Je
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ctKaPe2AL
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUXB86UPaB
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S3mMw7BHB
"G-Dragon was helping me1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnovhjILAn
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXkpEOx1A0
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE1iEHbZBM
"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24rM8dm1nU
"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdQoOvzjgh
We were sitting on the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeRkOOEEdk
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMFipMe1Ij
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3A1rOp1wt
stuff with Collins' too.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0sNyyFt4r
"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY4h0ykNKD
I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FPqbYpFXl
"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oBQ92UZok
"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZLaGYTqXJ
"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sdvQyStfd
"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6yQqPB6bk
"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH19bUFD4N6
I distributed the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT1fVKn77k
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY00rxcvAS
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu4w9iamxp
was meant for me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tUsmNE8aM
"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLkwU3fmfq
"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."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvAEM3lw4p
"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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRU0LwMExg
"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRugeYmb2pM
When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz51wTtlHs
For a moment, time 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZveQ1WYjgH
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gx8OaAuYP
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIi29vN3ZY
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uPZxwjv4Q
mess.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGjitlFABr
"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0YKY8u98v
"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur6Q6hDcP5
"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB97b8dSNDt
"Hide," Zoey whispered.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkb64R9sVh
For me, it kind of felt 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoUrhjpVXs
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUq19O6Psi
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsF4W3qr7o
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvTAcwnprh
When Collins came to the1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRdP458HTN
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB86xagZ9B
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TwEa0fFuZ
he just couldn't.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIlqJ8aU19
"Hey, Collins," I said.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM3Q7Uhux0
"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlIQVFUnJy
"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTblGM65ak
Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy1P0XcfX1
"Thanks."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV5KrRhPby
"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFCctRZF2a
"Who?" I asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxXe2A4k9w
"You know who I'm talking about."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOWMIJOX1B
"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHi2B66K75
"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJa19x1HJe
Collins went over to the1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPbjsjmA11
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zzL9mTt67
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF0cDjUm87
up at him.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm0YyXjhXt
"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKEWiJe4aI
"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1drROO5zo
Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqq6WidV8J
"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZUqdmUNLG
"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyaDKGRlJ2
"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnQFk7ftm0
"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29SSqilOec
"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy0KVz0Af9
"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfQ6OHlJ3e
"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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXxZL0EtzD
"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UTFXzQSyM
"Here, we brought you an1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA9QSYYDCG
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpD6GiqCKk
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPM0bCwiDn
"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHwhq96r16
"Thanks," said Collins, 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3aQw9g3Ko
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UsujRwuMd
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbQzBpiBlI
Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMKLVEedeC
"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dxsOlM5N2
Lee was right. Collins 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuCWbvp38Y
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89UUmbnBr2
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjUu4l8Kvf
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5MyqZhI54
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKqN7IpvPd
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HO0ploM9J
"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gLeorgGyn
We continued sorting out1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQMoRvHrum
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsOn5I0aA4
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamklAiy816
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B3eRCyTSI
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulUzFzrkvA
already too late and we all needed to rest.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkjXzhXRkk
We hadn't managed to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5PFe3XJSW
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40QhRlitqk
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfDBpzzzC7
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwkqllbEwX
course.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QU8rVhcBd
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xgbrkol76
"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWTQ3h2U0z
Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaECEQLqghc
"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLtKNNGF2K
"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdW4jfICGR
I looked at her with an 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmIvGMfnjX
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRICHSKuJe
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfq7IJMBwh
"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh3riqeLmN
"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLpwx7PeD3
"Fine?" I looked at 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcsDcXKyCF
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ePcjKPXQc
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1P5GYCjLz
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqInaZ5wadC
"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCZJZlW3I7
"Tell me, please!" I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAspdmn6ja
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMe2q3oOFs
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc67xUM8BnJ
tell me something. So tell me!"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIJWiHkwsY
"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkxwwlt3Lw
"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxuh1tmoU2
"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmvyi9tGve
"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."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAjxdWaYEz
Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOIEmJyrK1
I felt really excited 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdwPSWNjuU
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv1Xe0X86v
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhYIaBlexn
"I don't know how I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ2CIhaz0P
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAjnahE9Jg
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeD1jXN7HR
Tower."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnNT3vbQIM
"Ya, I saw the picture. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82CjDh9JGP
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxBkfuV6H3
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrv0UO2Mpy
"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhosDwZ8irF
"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1szQiZlKl
"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."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqekABjeNne
"What?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhJ4XeoDjX
"When we got to the top 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuHVnf176q
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpfn4oWfbp
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PwjzB4m9l
others had left and it was just GD and I."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQK7c74sui
My eyes grew wide. I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERR84tn7yi
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0sVvnIJt4
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpLBEqsQkW
"You two kissed."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENLzmknQwm
"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR6fCFnbUQ
"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudBpFQXZMx
"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3BpcKKhFD
"Well, you were in one 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CwAQzCtST
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZjoUDnmWF
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvP8UhJ96b
"Smart."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kH6exCXmL
"Thanks. So, how was it?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhhJ4tKw8y
Zoey smiled like a fool,1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlk8j07cFA
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf6eeVJCH3
it was so magical at the same time."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYhXCuU8i2
I couldn't help but 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPAkmaf6dV
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkXWZSygK7
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJDO96j6Et
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtfRDklpVD
everyone at the prom.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvvUboMvFF
"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTridzatzPD
"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp89cwzDEep
"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj4AQAu3sy
"And? Anything else? 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWVTPWdKvM
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb2laDosVq
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOaA9mn7jt
"When we were on top of 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIpzyLGz2o
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPvSBVRZLj
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE1m7CJ4A0
Well that's a bummer. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMV8ikAHun
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oDd5JmApO
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxwwuUMKqW
really liked Zoey and not me?1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbS8YGOriO
I brushed that off. Why 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUrN1gDANS
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnytSPMVJya
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUisqRZyoGD
hopes up with it.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaraAFIyHGG
"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVysi15fIz
"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg75uWdox54
"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4094lsxn4G
"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kG9vVR8nX
"Thanks, Sam."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU7eIT835Y
"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa8gQm8Eyi
"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhnbWAbgKa
I left Mr Panda on the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnQ5vyvPo1
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpCQvFF1pK
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FGajwfG2n
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2aUGHsuL9
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADt3ZS90jH
"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4baAscRLK
"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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqebZZM5fX
I laid my head on the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDdqmXBKSj
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOTLVkqjGU
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqUdACQgD9
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVnpJwLSUa
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwEvChqt5i
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU9xgJI8UY
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc373mNXvo7
have been.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCGEmh7HBG
Zoey would have only 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTvUTrJuom
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOs0Krp5Et
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDnXvPcIWA
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQd6yZwJWO
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBeJJOvZsw
I pulled Mr Panda closer1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlivFrPKQfB
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWHl5z1tgu
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe1ZIDbYn1
***1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbBnP1eEqw
I was given a round of 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOaKypjGD5
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAXQFIL5Fj
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiKyvCWwTe
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMPxqfh6S0
"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHOfhc6Bc8
"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXniZFcndhg
"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm0jWj3Q1G
"Then you better eat 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EHFqV9tTP
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5m6ImvHMg
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGAmV8InOg
We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAmR4hiRNa
"I can't wait for us to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RX5q7q0ZF
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBdZPif55f
beside me. I could only tell why.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFscjjW4vgK
Christine who sat 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t4lrb9JlG
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq6wQh4zU9
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvboiC2nobn
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKy5C5EFXp
and G-Dragon.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmTfF9pOwL
When we were done 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeEUqaYXEY
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mT5GC0p4z
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qt8BxoWKK
"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhVW2dbVpn
"What is it, Zoey?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO1HtJy9bh
"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut5foujAwz
Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3sbD9Y0Lr
"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R4oI2ECdZ
"That's the problem," 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCwvSgDeZZ
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElgsS7FkOf
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNTUWPEcWV
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHkSSBNoAp
Mike turned away and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9NhgjGkgu
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUNutfx2fQ
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyrbRRjU76
something?1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uXW6jWhHS
"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtECRMWHsNz
We agreed with Christine1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7psaTwUUP
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCd9xrhjy9
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GF07XxDkb
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhuBIeMIGd
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFk1AKpjTA
"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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxUiXEMTQP
"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ8RSzazcr
"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcshYmdwT1
"I also feel like I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z3LOX7To8
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCnvEjK4hF
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqot4pp5yQ
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSCGmwGFeN
"Do you think we should 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYtP6PiZu1
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24AnvDXOY4
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GnPeLbH1I
"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ayRztTvZj
"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdk6aw7oLV
"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrrIkcbOrI
"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe15Hkl1wpO
I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjMtSjT6Nt
"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XU83nnn3s
"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMIF78u6aH
Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIYhQn4P3B
I stood up from the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrVTmJVP5O
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb1uoPCEq5
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6biRjEEq3T
conversation.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡettQ3w9sAd
When I went back, I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorYg3ZFsgu
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqa5XQD41O
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RFJxJwQjy
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZg9JZuquC
"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIYIQzzfPE
"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yzheg6REh
"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4P8w6blku
"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnmCX3EZah
"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IqNLMB5R6
"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3avg0OrECY
"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCLmPaI7ir
G-Dragon gave me a weird1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Jpc9u6mF
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9y9gLyETp
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYydcP0BGrh
took their place on the couch.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFagZdBKNU7
"Christine and Daesung, I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2OFn2plDU
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCAqWw0ZtH
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2IXA24UK1
"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0GzRo5zrV
"Ya, we will sing the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWeWDTQsfw
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LfwvgGrGF
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6ZOmv0u7b
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHILEVcJMtc
producer has the lyrics printed out."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy1QSu1Uib
"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6wCDuqyZZ
I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXFMmYlfed
Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDffzBL7dzX
Then we all went over 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAUkRFWiA1
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMA32zY7wk
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJwyE2seqr
"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gzX7SGXL9
"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPDKDahpRx
"Me too," said TOP.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpWdwovNvp
"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVEdcFJ6o8
"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4EPspit7R
I didn't look up at him 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqu6u3ngkd
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hbnYiNWyn
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwpxIR1pwD
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCKBG6eAmj
"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5jE2Bbf0I
I started to relax my 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWZCkY2Pfo
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0m36chnC4
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALE5ihh7H9
"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGdfSJQGjg
"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaOCeZEqD7
G-Dragon came to sit 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhaMSPa0ou
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCmMLj9M62
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFFqtVJZ5N
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhceRr6V9qP
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobZFHC6PFO
"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE82kH54GDw
"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oVHQukNmX
G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZElDSwNpXL
"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6SRjuielB
"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWRzriK0Tk
"Really?" the music producer asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPtcHX8Lk7
"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDqZGBOt8n
"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbBUbAcPSC
"Give him a chance, 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrqhDezMcN
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOWnLhai9i
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrv8OMAcR1
headphones and put them on.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl82t6ONYa
"Okay, this is 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XICfVzjYD
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zg5I7H63K
join them and see what needs some changing."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c9do5uDQ3
I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezve2zQOC0
"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY81Uag19oK
"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zHw3UiHGt
The others looked at me 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR1Wp9CEkJ
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXpFcQWutS
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubDUM8pYS3
"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ09JUCxwa
"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVNzboGrhc
"That's going to be a 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtwarxsIYx
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnKK8X9t2t
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6upaHnfXJt
"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxcKEtoVZI
Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JG3YqexhI
"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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxAtTHBRTB
I looked over at Zoey 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAlxnuPV7M
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9xAsWaIin
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBGEIBmGGa
I put a stool in front 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVL7aK2Cfh
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqODeaN9CHI
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHYkowqRQw
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkOCaRqOMy
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3AxE16YBG
others.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOe8d7K3l3
"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDvIm5Ja2m
Taeyang and I sung the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmHXR4BHZ4
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY5LrR8ANB
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ89G5v6zgf
great and everyone cheered.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgztnt92rP6
"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD0LYtTf5r
"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKoBmnx4yw
"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHTOwQpfkS
TOP started to rap the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbGJmwKPNw
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdorpbk12I
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCnUmbJ5d0
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETFrhtIuaM
Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOHsqklrLd
"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs04hsb13u8
"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRJyehaNOg
"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSASUR6ICO
Daniel and Seungri sung 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXZJTdPAlQ
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe1Ayk9uUw
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsTceVz3bC
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn8ytnrjEW
clapped for themselves and cheered.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmcc8hkydJ
"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpDHpHCunB
"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tCwY8tbQG
I almost fell off the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vSIQbyjMO
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbLdCdNUw8
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAok5uVlrXD
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwcrYpxsmd
We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3coCVOlYrd
"I have to say, you all 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP4mwu47jY
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe76D3N6BC3
smile. "Keep up the good work."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ75b3mS8YW
"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JhWPzQRkL
"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBxvFujHDI
No one said anything. We1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ULPz3OTU
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFqpXob2F0
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwujssNETaB
talking.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwtLU2mtLt
"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwfbDeCG57
"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi1GaaWS6N
That, I couldn't answer.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65JGMiQOR0
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfSEYye1Fl
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBEUoUXQOy
"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SlV6QH5ko
"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz0XTwvQCU
"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ixlXQdSEX
"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnvdoFAdOd
"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKDCpejjOy
"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj4ZWOHVWa
The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH23rTkxTsG
"I want them back here 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tITeRzEoi
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAMCWE1DfC
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1s1OEjYSE
I gulped as I felt the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47i1jqz0AA
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKhNrNhI5J
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu1WBWL4Pt
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGuzc7XcWL
No one said anything 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O5MF7sCaP
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsmd0SNDVK
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDFWwqVhEI
"Where could they have 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXvwrt2zOd
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tp14XPaIw
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVnmDrRxTG
"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlb4hdS5xc
"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL0dlpaMD2
"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzeGPlEBf6
"Then we better start 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYqsuryheC
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKKU4Tuv9M
looking for them will be difficult."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiQ2vPveHg
We all agreed to split 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCve0OFhk0S
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4RMjDev1F
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVPJXQeuaG
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fp4uvpMZ0
All the studio rooms 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgm5GLlXwQ
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3s2V29vVv
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTS82EYBJF
"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ521DaPrc
I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp9STv1vZC
"Almost fifteen minutes."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca9l4andeF
"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN8GvM5s4R
He nodded and pulled out1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJNnNQscTO
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA0utMRjZG
walked out of it and came towards us.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzxIud8YPj
"Anything?" Daniel asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwZ22e7Ih1
"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJuHbHmZIS
"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYjwEIbVPU
"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztCcaHwjrZ
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zOiNsXd3Z
"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKrchH6UEZ
"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5pk82dZTU
"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVfr1tOVdi
"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsD8VcxUK2
"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdLceholtc
I hadn't said a word 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTafD5zzSaY
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ207OT5i8Rg
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJobBBu5Xo
but worry.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqYLQOYxt3
"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalpFOs7KSw
"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKHgPqEXUC
Daesung motioned his 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyf56vDeaK
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FXcIcl6Uy
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHMuSQRccV
"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNLTOQ4ml8
Taeyang and the music 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lw9ReVxfK
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgBPrbFi32
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQUUz3wvzR
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsCaaQ2ivc
and angry at the same time.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvpZUtvM2k
"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LvPa7sIid
I looked over at Daesung1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCTSB8oMfp
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3TW3hQtph
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zANvS6BKy
the play button.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrZoNnweTI
***1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4PNXofcrV
"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlmeKmGWKT
I came crushing back 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4cTWVXwMi
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl7ISn2nzW
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrTZJ1FrRK
I had so many mixed 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPitoncb3n
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y4zsYFyde
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxcsOgV9CW
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn151wLmiwS
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhR8YrhK7U
I could tell that the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0wZMPz3Nv
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL2SbYSkwC
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA8ifLaRh4
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8mhbOMLvo
"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMqrzSaC52
"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZzCHhlxV9
"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpJBUo1g6B
"They went out without taking you guys along?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqoF6oSoSK
I folded my arms and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgGJeZt19F
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MlPkLuFyV
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMyuCJTBLj
"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQTWFuM5np
"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY1vWa9PX0
I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXsNYs4E2i
"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVh6sRjSNl
"No, we haven't heard it yet."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZTFgNqKEk
I could feel the others 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBU6Hvb0VT
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmuS1VrgK8
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3T9uAj7TD
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky4FSggJ6A
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz925c7GWoy
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpMX58cZdi
"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqGnLBhxDR
"Okay." I nodded my head.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVvYnsY9qK
When Yang Hyun-suk left,1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzwQZsgwmr
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ053cKDDenR
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL2BFwB5o8
"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzNj20jCAV
"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1NOOsRhKR
"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt2Im4MkoF
"Not until I hear what 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV7eJzRksd
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VZzI9ZQKo
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAH9PdtDoD
trying to calm down.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gXDw9dO6o
"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9aLmg5F4G
"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbIAUFy0bz
"So that we could get 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn2lK5pTAk
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOXzXzxX1e
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq75VLRtsgY
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyurMw5eu6
"I agree with Sam," said1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhOK8LZ3oB
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8sd02Vlvv
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV456lvNyID
"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBtVsemAuI
"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SKrvhDMLR
The rest of the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzTSkcJSVy
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V97b2m5To
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oIVbj7Ybg
playing cards.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyhlHC8Znl
I was leaning my chin on1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm0gDqy43y
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgjZsD6HNQ
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fH1KzOz2h
especially to me.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Crdmn5YUA
Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTXOdpKcNc
I suddenly sat upright 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBsfpnlkPy
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySKyoQSBjN
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Ogot3pgx
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeByky4LGGe
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LW4LMVI2A
"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfgR3m6obg
"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwpUwTbOLE
"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXdq23ebps
"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH4m3I4WKe
"Maybe we can just order1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt9vquCBAp
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hY39k8Kaw
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ERMDjccVS
"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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD2TfXLsQW
"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQOv9M6jeV
"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wBQ0Tpgi1
"I heard that Zoey and 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5mQymGtyT
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCslOdlb05
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm38uROeRN6
"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ4JReGo4q
"Then it's a good thing 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCeKK6Qwzy
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGC9dIV37j
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoygx4czGfE
Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKItHy3zvJ
"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueaE7QsjZz
Everyone soon dropped 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorJFlr5Pd3
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJwp134yow
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHokKGUrriT
I had never eaten pizza 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6mkMmqrLB
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6jLNjbDTm
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGypo1CEFZ
We were done finishing 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGhCKoOe4E
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7cdt6GB2z
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrtH1nPBA7
"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSz81EMYZ9
"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVjdVgiKQe
We were huddled up on 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIuAUyC65v
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1XS3H8qZ1
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9cU4Whb8Z
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjpFgadDOP
"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQCscbkqBA
"You lied? About what?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKHh2LMMkJ
"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi1amY24aN
"But why?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJGco0B0GJ
"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."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MvYUPMfkT
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?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2XmS9Qsqv
I didn't expect Lee to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3rTRshU5J
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20oEbYMjjI
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmL7qi8KP8
"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fWfS3X6VD
"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7DMESqzzm
I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyDnnoY4fe
"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddgvlLLd15
I stood up from the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF0gaiOwZB
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9TD7II242
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJDpIoRkbO
later.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5z0XiRM3T
Trying to find the right1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSmJz7UMy1
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfsxqET8mh
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOSeepcD33
what for, was the question in mind.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jcv29wUoQ
"Aren't you going to 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPSWazMLJa
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl6ZMGHCMk
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvyYnIiWue
"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."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26xeYQmJbm
"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjA5phMc9a
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMc67DxrFv
Lee went on to look at 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHegonNEcO
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZUtFXq0Yc
just thought they might be arguing again."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVERNGeIdR1
"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw15NHzn3YD
"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSYd1k1lMV
"I don't even know what 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazTvb5LCXy
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS0KvUMmTO
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p3zIQ3xgC
"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ52yV69GHF
No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxw5yjZfxG
"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDMUKviLqD
"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sYDpwOOat
Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBDDHp0XBG
It only took five 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7sEWdBj5U
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljMtHqyzZm
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJly903k9Y
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxwbp36KGt
"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjeOFDj25W
When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ91g5LfAJL
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsDPio2cNj
"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc20IWUNM5m
"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaohuVu2r5
"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcH30WCliC
"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7G57MugmB
"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiEF2EowA4
"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TONH2fkcM
"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRRucmd9Hm
"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyShI9ZaiUe
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQsyrV88p1
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT6kjYoDC7
"Why did you this?" I asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o8lXpghHP
"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05PsexZZfE
"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."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjl1hmB61S
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FXkKzaEH4
"The instrumental is in 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorQSRSSjsO
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI49iQKNm4
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0JfgMVBxo
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtiqoLXrDH
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl92gfSgVD0
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcqOf93quD
pissed."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR2GGDeBwS
"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."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInyWzksmfC
"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0o9Uso5Vj
"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmAckSr2gx
I looked at Zoey and she1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXjW0L3IWv
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCKKFhUZd5
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywV1T8LiAu
was mad at me for.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH86kV2w092
"Now is not the right 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbn6eCB0ce
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDrC9NJSOl
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6HMBOdAzN
understand.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JFZZOfcOU
Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0G9sN8in7
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5z7r2FBQx
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RDZmhh1AZ
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56YlubObnR
"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."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54gFgBsbK3
I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJjtbt82V9
"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nY76ZJLWJ
Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgpd2frlwd
"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYjnRXQJAl
"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI8p9TozXR
"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrD1LpvyrD
"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHf7g0bDau
I paused with my mouth 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUEeqnqNe8
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6wWpnqbUH
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpBODy4lSr
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8hqg2yE5n
I looked at G-Dragon and1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EYdr36IHk
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkCJhGF0yW
face wondering what he was thinking.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1IK1zzBaF
"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhWzvMw8zU
"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvCt4ajENH
"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5mDqNyZsV
I smiled and Seungri 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaDEXkUjNq
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCjO5trvdC
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pTKbULFPt
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkQcRU08gh
"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34OjAuJtJY
I smiled a little more. 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowGatU6h3t
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzPU8xIvW2
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbfBQNNFAG
were at war again.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xOjmX1Jhk
"But we can't start 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qqO9CMG9X
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM9nAvMMuO
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJiSbMzAos
I sat upright and alert.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VDrzS1dQN
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFBA7Ag3fk
have to record the track the day after?"1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYfuQBhmZL
"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIdxaO6JMF
"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne5UcUjyZF
"But why didn't you tell1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v86gwkBLw
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1jqOTLsc3
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYSWj5PlFv
"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvaTNBgJUF
"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYAOuNQvwl
"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvzIjeBhG6
"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyPSQrntae
"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPOLC3afhd
"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0saHVBMjpZ
"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULoYVt1bts
"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bg6rLytCD
"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2XPzea9vY
It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRTnujmnxh
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTkKTSo54P
I turned to look at him 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4D7NQso6l
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwDjrpONYs
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMm116tk9Y
me like that.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2zquYMGRo
"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj59lq6ou1g
"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSEnBTZclO
"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEDajEHFwd
"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSlPppuiA4
"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7AvjDNRTt
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoBfECXg4j
We looked at each other 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwghwuojyz
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGR8uwWsKF
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsGY9FgC7e
Maybe he also felt the same.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO0F7N0lNT
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.1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KIXIkZZp9
I then realised that I 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tQhVmUKc1
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g6zLa6kD1
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsewZRUMQL7
another time.
