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