My body ached all over 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvaZXhH9I6e
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1096Please respect copyright.PENANAxXtALPVibs
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3qk41CE0V8
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMOGw69GQAS
bed.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUJKmES8BTk
I scratched my head as I1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqd9S4sVkcN
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9O81V8yNnt
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1096Please respect copyright.PENANApEfOiZV4ZG
he found me here.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfxuz7RSunW
I slowly stood up and I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhAJu43ObZP
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2IlQmY630Q
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5c5ibc2bDF
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwafbx4teMX
"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAr6CUqIYoU7
I almost jumped in 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZqQ3uVozOw
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAc7nh7bQ9Qe
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8mTa6qJNqM
obviously reading the news online.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQTXvojHKge
"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAeP1Kfpxcn
"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOD2PUO8i6W
"'Don't tire yourself 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAxDXvCBeVNq
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeR9OHtr4ew
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAP9saYBpPiZ
"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvB7RICubbB
"Oh, you were listening?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAijDs5oPaxL
"Ya, you kept on playing1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVehCyg25RD
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFTksxJIGkQ
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAYq76gnwkPZ
"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZdTVdZIAyB
"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOpx57Yj0Ta
"For covering me with a blanket."1096Please respect copyright.PENANADLyFsWYqDM
Collins looked at me 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAoIG2HdHiuf
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvBlxh4kD5U
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1096Please respect copyright.PENANASwEAI9nqls
"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAKTcypFS383
"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3ctj1MDxT5
"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9SgE1OeOiN
"Me too."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA97MlWtgDTg
"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1096Please respect copyright.PENANANo0SmTlXBi
Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVMy0K9Y72K
"Going to take a shower," I said.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdtRKZzg6Pp
"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVHRlBpighQ
After I freshened myself1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0aQcm088mh
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjiRv6B2Las
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1096Please respect copyright.PENANATCmtodI2Bh
Collins was still on his tablet.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHjgtBQHxQE
"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXsSy4R3pCZ
"Nope. Just looking at 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAExnSKWinFW
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVgxHI6Rc7O
coming back late at night with the others."1096Please respect copyright.PENANALy7N3XxhJO
"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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAY6A52SvUTP
"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgDCAnMbx0j
"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUXhJcOT5Lr
"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAX2tcd4YkWR
Collins handed his 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2ySdSjdCiG
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1I7eeE10iF
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7KfIwRlRbS
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1096Please respect copyright.PENANAX3Cvr5BzCo
having a great time.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAl2ZB2yTp6E
"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAxZR5JOP3Ii
"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5Efo0XU2zL
I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA59uUnhpw5M
"They should have as 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQuNsB6cdMP
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwPPQLHyeVJ
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1096Please respect copyright.PENANALe2nMUNy6q
"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAl2hCes8J26
"No, it's not about the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPTHNGsXJ3q
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1096Please respect copyright.PENANAT7JpxlY6w6
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAoXMIhHdRX6
I looked at Lee who sat 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqRSM7EajZq
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkWr0eZx3OZ
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2VCsbyYDNh
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAsLotMiHtJq
"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1096Please respect copyright.PENANACI7vEAgW7q
"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAO2PClhPAkr
I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAYizlQ6s0sm
"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5C3UCnbQ9p
"If I tell you, I'll 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7abmsLF6Ui
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWndYVXOOc0
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFttEjFSQbD
Collins got up from his 1096Please respect copyright.PENANATB8XBKWDJ5
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQJtlEuY6Ch
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAShRzVYKO6e
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1096Please respect copyright.PENANADC0xr2sutR
"What do you know?" I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAc8HU03XrDV
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAe5dHMEwjNQ
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAu10oryL6xP
detective asking questions to a criminal.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAh4cpgC01Gq
"I don't know," Lee 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAoFYlZpag3R
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA15277i8xHD
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAei0n65oeU7
I knew something was up 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcCWiKcIUGK
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA56afPQp5j1
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA13alFCALQI
"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAKE39zyihb6
"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeVlGqOQG25
"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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwj1NawJC6j
"Hey, what's wrong?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAicG2sMnKhx
"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3Mnwtgz3BR
"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1096Please respect copyright.PENANALikWGNst0U
"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1096Please respect copyright.PENANANnGp1finMP
Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4HdByvA1e8
"Well, kind of," I said 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7JsUmf4mEW
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfPzuc0kJrj
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAykfaF6SRcx
"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVxaZykve3n
"Okay."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5U6hVZNrwG
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWVJ68j0ik6
Lee, Collins and I soon 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1tYMfDCaio
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkEUgxHF6r9
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1096Please respect copyright.PENANAq7TSzLj6Kd
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAD7wI0JoPyy
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0laCquC5js
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAaGZTTAjuXT
I was waiting in th 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlfpZnnOElZ
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAx2jrcAoRTK
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAM3EzCg0Ix6
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1096Please respect copyright.PENANABwGoi85djM
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gn8ktSh77
I was pacing up and down1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVbayTjsrx6
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhyx2RTOkp5
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAyNgwNzS6uj
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIE2J4Hvy16
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1096Please respect copyright.PENANARUPuDZCCEN
and I was so nervous.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGgvIVJ71NW
"Here she is," said Lee,1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7UZ8Ye7Pap
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1096Please respect copyright.PENANADHPg9ZKxJW
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAunMNmhc6GB
you, Tae."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqI5o63KxMg
I frowned at Lee and I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1nQx9YtaTx
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1096Please respect copyright.PENANALuPyCNBIgh
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3NNVfZ2ddS
friend.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmLABO7FxkE
"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA61uT3QbVMU
"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1E9siZBLsi
"I told Taeyang that I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANASKMS38zbIn
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUiGvs0sTwu
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiMNhAz3DcY
"Our manager called me 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGKKnOvDgbY
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUCMVngblsn
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOgp0Qkzn8L
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAX0mvHCScif
"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6xjyEXOTX6
"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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANArUHCFs0QWY
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjkUvDjJ1DQ
"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvqvO0W3pxj
"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0GUMEBLnnP
"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAig3vDDHzip
"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIr1qGQ3Ygr
"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAickzx4VwDk
"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAw3yRp523MY
"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAX4aRSTeJgB
"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAedg7FXKTrg
"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2CqsUdT7Am
"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAa0L9ajJ3LI
"Sure."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q8FlDYLko
I gave Taeyang my 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMoG2U7XTuu
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8ip0kNmhmt
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbAeDA5pfFY
cute together.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6trepQh4o4
"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."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAulF3KkbskB
"Thanks. I was singing 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9SxuUS8CyI
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1096Please respect copyright.PENANASDL5EWFyPX
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHe40TsoktV
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAz0OseGy6mw
"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAywgjnbgMYq
"Well...not really," I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANABgv1YS3Mru
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZHFY6qjMIz
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQJwlsOEFfI
"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQzmw4w3YvM
"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAD93sQt66Hp
I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAU947VhaC8t
The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAyDmkfhlE2R
"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAu1G98CJELD
"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHBPFEZtYbo
"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAL1YKUXmYkS
"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAedKnCww249
"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAite26MZRPx
Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAB0sGdKP2q8
"Right now."1096Please respect copyright.PENANABGXcPiRx9Z
We all turned towards 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFZnPMoU4ZS
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqvtwhibhFU
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAKPTWFxekr1
When everyone got 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzAOMSGXcLI
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANADQQHHfOevk
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMsOCIOpbEB
run out of the room.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjls3ugB05G
"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAf695XtjRsB
I nodded my head and my 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJCGnaZdalE
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbKh7qyY3uA
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhykqwSPDyD
ever got to play it.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0KGpWbRUR4
I felt a break of sweat 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOCmEwJohkf
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANATEe3jvbzCZ
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOEOy6wvM7K
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPelSmZhpK0
strung the strings on the guitar.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2tmq4GXtgI
I started to sing as I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqfYnltgSgF
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdtrZgFpzdc
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAURbXdGXalD
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6pssjK55b6
didn't. Well, I hope so.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHQh3mgVRjQ
As soon as I was done 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbtrwxrEPOh
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjTh5bZNLkF
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAW906NNfru8
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdYr1bRbb1S
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVfxUobPdCi
hoped they liked it.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7hd9gPhwq2
The studio was still 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHP7IH5eZiE
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAYZbpGB3zLm
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUnaoN1rXmO
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAi6dyeIoOEV
Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAllyaWe8Du6
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAw4gDb42Kfb
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQfSia9toZn
"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAL5nL3SqAZD
This was it. The hammer 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA15EPY6ezTs
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1096Please respect copyright.PENANAz35UceBpqY
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8D2OGOd28H
"....incredible."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdotPnl6Nr8
I opened my eyes and I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5etxzftmgO
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1096Please respect copyright.PENANABJZgJzVqSx
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbSyk9aQbiE
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1PUREb9kr0
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGEdQkSHcrc
"I've to admit, when 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUps4V5bXgu
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtjcAWPeCiu
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZnPrvqQDP
"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAykeBB6k1ln
"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvAgs0Pwvyv
"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1096Please respect copyright.PENANATRxRmPoYxK
"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwbDR7WXbKd
"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtA6cCsCla6
"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwWeIUJkhKR
I couldn't stop smiling 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0pfq9jia4F
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeLJm7XOnRC
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAvwsyx83NR
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5tEz4neQ4Y
good voice and a golden one.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvo0D5pwqk2
Immediately our managers1096Please respect copyright.PENANANnNvXAPvEW
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGqpO9CyISM
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPUNZPl1etw
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAs5OMRI7NyH
musical instruments.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3QjC8EVz3
This was always the hard1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOvcqTkOuCV
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1096Please respect copyright.PENANApMlA3iAbn5
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJFPj0GFjwV
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkiBZGWR9IM
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwucFFi2Jfm
An hour had passed and I1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzcewcyk56n
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAM5nD1mf8YY
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAKCHC9yfUYv
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAirClM84FX9
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANATHFwUMdOUQ
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgmIigcYNqw
"It's been an hour and I1096Please respect copyright.PENANALdBm4jBxE9
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4gRxiUIMt5
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4b31Ze3opd
"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmLL0r0DUKw
"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGfRG5ZbJLD
"Trust me, you're so 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAEk7vtNK99q
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA30r271YIhL
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA49It2PcJCS
"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1096Please respect copyright.PENANApmAPe2ulhf
"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiGMlOmvMzC
"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9nkCfajFUa
"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7MAiDTShiI
"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1096Please respect copyright.PENANABQyTQwBguE
"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1096Please respect copyright.PENANApzHvxSLCA8
"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcFAGZp64qd
"Mmmm." I murmured in 1096Please respect copyright.PENANArm5EPpgV2o
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPSn2JxISs4
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAROOUgSGYo2
masseur."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZfHlMyS0FA
"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeFLKDDypgL
I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPLXeQFDRIX
The music producer soon 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwKpDlgTFXT
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAmay3WTWZo
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdhuul2sb8H
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAxIIw3H3TQU
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXuIZ2mjafz
recording the track.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAq8lClflJGl
We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAYBTkuNEmaM
"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAopS9brvWS0
"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlCZGRx11Od
"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAluuxbvNlvS
"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzxIjmtENhq
I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqtJZVXRidd
"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1096Please respect copyright.PENANAaWX93etlKl
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7UCwWrN3ZH
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAG1Jlth4jvp
"Let me guess, you're 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2OOmS06x2D
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvidC4mxAqq
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAsPTueUdnbX
"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvyxYfZ5zku
Something told me his 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtL4ilaVl4D
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgA8RkW6BWE
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnG4cTpie06
always does.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAB8RFGKXDEW
"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAxc5BeYMURe
"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAg2h8ustyfD
It was late in the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWfR1dXUjtq
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcE0Pl2hueX
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAsdzHCGfhbJ
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAklmLtgwQPn
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1096Please respect copyright.PENANACim8cF6RTo
"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqkgOpiRO4q
"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Jm0Yuo2E
I looked beside him and I1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUor3PsqmD3
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1096Please respect copyright.PENANALOWwNFshYp
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAaAnx2M2LUv
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZm3B1OkjHu
leaning my head on the console.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0rSStJHb77
"I always hate this part1096Please respect copyright.PENANArF3KvDOPCv
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2etAjf7k7i
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOZ0EVnbDtM
console.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ss11ha0GA
"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAY4YGUNxJQd
"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAsUwA0wpSfn
"I wonder what time."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6XPm5TSqur
"Wait." I pushed my head1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZtKYTgqdLm
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1096Please respect copyright.PENANANPFdA0Ovfh
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAT3D7jYRCBG
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAO0MSM8SSkc
"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1096Please respect copyright.PENANATbWOT1jsGg
"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAo1kYgZzMJ6
"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUVUO9VEfbW
"I didn't sleep well 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmQN8ltBfQW
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAv9ilIQTOzH
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbHY9wGHfKp
"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQowjkMEuUu
"You're right." I soon 1096Please respect copyright.PENANANE8Xc2Vf6Y
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgDz0nJpfRd
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8rzy3l2Kwr
"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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFtVGqtJC4Q
"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAsAysEwZhDa
"Alright. Thanks."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMNulYvBqdw
"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAq5utxGHyLi
"And so will I," said Seungri.1096Please respect copyright.PENANANsbfu2ZG54
"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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIG3zEw6Qbg
Immediately I left the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVLGnHx6sv8
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcvPCo8V2xS
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXapbXmi13G
"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1zZM9NyNle
"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXqSPhagpHz
"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQvJSBZYvlL
Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtI8S6mFzf7
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAsWlkYdvEXP
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZimR6x6sjp
The next thing I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtXkNnBeckv
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgBHsEEHq5u
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZNHeVnZoN8
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAx9x9o1BDKH
I woke up by the sound 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAR8ZEwUtrR
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1096Please respect copyright.PENANArB8HLaFlyl
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqdoFKfGiQU
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlEbAdnN6Kd
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGcmh3TtN0k
I reached out for the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAD9lUJiiLm6
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGWfDLm1ZMJ
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlg4TRP5C1Y
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xd1SDqA6R
I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAG6CUb0EYEs
"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAKDIm6LR9uA
"I could hear it ringing1096Please respect copyright.PENANANYVU2kodxy
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmf836VUnoh
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhsSjuhsc3U
"Thanks," I said as I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAr8gLDxyBem
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1096Please respect copyright.PENANArYp2ABTWRp
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2b7USBdbUm
"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1096Please respect copyright.PENANANDBMhVpU9I
"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3EDJW2Is6t
"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeJROfGuaUw
"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvEjkuwifDN
Lee left the room and I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjkwwwf5MYA
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVEaOkMa7DC
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1AmWbPvNOr
"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3wTEtZS0XT
"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qtpfqqd2x
I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9yjzHqjb5V
"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwmbhnG36vP
"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgzE9SVDg1j
"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAK5SpntkmDd
I dashed over to the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANApv8pfk0uS1
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiVPSZdDbCo
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAuIcXf2bWdG
It was now 10 PM and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAW2n23XdjLs
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1096Please respect copyright.PENANAYCKFfX6yDP
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAaFWPjPmY29
they were right now.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgm5RU54Hcf
"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmDm3sAjotu
"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkjk4teCaF6
"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8xeDrfTIaz
"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5jzKf2ds8m
"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAb4QxKFhREK
"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAO7eyybyZkj
"True."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAb0rTKeCZib
We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiEFi5MpMwg
Two bell boys came out 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgj151ZgjGz
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1096Please respect copyright.PENANACI8GCK6qiD
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7L83amrXDk
"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWCze1f4lyz
There were so many gift 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA75cyBV809I
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfwglMaLDi0
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4XdepB4zi2
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAT1nYuneJfA
so pissed.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAKo3kESS4Nf
"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAacjhkSIU9D
"They are downstairs," he answered.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPBMalVKQLv
After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvO5PUABzvT
When the doors flew 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmKvbPVLz2q
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnncUnkzTrx
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfCgD0GSK6T
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXwabDGd199
"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANASMcxhzZNO8
"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAYnQ7B5dPNd
"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXkCyLsBz8Z
As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiYElN234Un
"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGaO5nIvbsc
"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAyGxAtcJqFz
"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPQuiHOJT4v
"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAyIFDJgKs5X
"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkxhAs04Jom
Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAxTMuC8OPRy
I raised an eyebrow. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4mDlUh1OAm
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMwkQ6TZOIi
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1096Please respect copyright.PENANAr6edPKww9p
"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?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAyjARJMV5RG
"Everyone just missed 1096Please respect copyright.PENANABaEVp3EAnA
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAr8yFZqvMkC
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA45OvgUiqo7
I rolled my eyes at him,1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZeAZRqnM65
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOYoaRMzyw2
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMPZjx6oZOJ
face when I hugged him.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeBJv4rlMFP
"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVj6hbrBnxV
"Wait! You missed TOP 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAn2xml8r6bb
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbVJgNm7sUT
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAKSKGPVxpQ3
I always loved it when 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0lNsbyqQRr
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjUE0QLv1Ok
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOeJAV5C7xK
"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1096Please respect copyright.PENANABegEkLPFyu
For a moment, that voice1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOPhv4A9F2S
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAEbyCT2oHTe
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1096Please respect copyright.PENANADIgSCZrr2u
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAz2s2xb73jG
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1096Please respect copyright.PENANAln7q8s8IIv
he was still acting the same way he had left.1096Please respect copyright.PENANALnADd7hSlY
I was really confused. I1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzawAvQnOpu
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZP99pGAIEr
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjbvKD4joge
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1096Please respect copyright.PENANApbgl1oL2RX
personal and it had to do with me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcd7meXK2jJ
I had no other choice 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAw6O0ZjvsFf
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAE82hmRPZlp
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOQITA17JwH
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1096Please respect copyright.PENANATvL5EZnBPz
"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAYV1IEbshRX
By the look on his face,1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9sY4XdEAp
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1096Please respect copyright.PENANA85YOIH7EZb
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzOBz4tRwuo
going to end pretty tonight.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwC4DCb8hRV
"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6P7Wv8QR37
"Ya, I did."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlJzSwHaFvl
"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhFQ5i7Takr
"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnpNFWo8c9d
"Can't wait to hear it,"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7DVtH1n0c9
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUJhdiaT2ul
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAF8fyTKgLPf
"Anything for you, 1096Please respect copyright.PENANASkp5Ci2vBB
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFe0B4CW7Ry
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANATdQTfkOdJF
look at Zoey.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAL2SnGIuI3L
"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVjDzqZOcVb
"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAr3qTaRsSSr
"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1096Please respect copyright.PENANADHI7qYvmkK
After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAuu78wGZzCC
"You know Collins is 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkbWAd0H3db
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1096Please respect copyright.PENANACDwvBF5rc2
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAxgeVgsPyU
floor.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFggyG0ORI1
"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGDG9dTkLpb
"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWG1jh9Vokl
"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4u14mOAWKo
I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjxCqxMJFdi
"We better sort out all 1096Please respect copyright.PENANASgOiFdkTAN
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9LXWrLLacD
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzD4d1Zo9Q4
floor.1096Please respect copyright.PENANASOXe93r5mG
Sorting out all the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlFZEPTRTFy
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGIxMLITLDK
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1096Please respect copyright.PENANABavWexgEMh
had really bought a lot of stuff.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmUZ1aoqx1N
The boys had brought a 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJOuVZFLASr
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkiAY0xYwoT
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHNuJTJO8wY
expensive designer shoes.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzAgokTZqJG
As for Zoey and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhlOhSt6YTv
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjayB1fAzT9
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8fWew1mfcZ
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmynfdG3jGu
"G-Dragon was helping me1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHFxC0tEnT2
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2QsAXxrMeT
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5g2jrhigSY
"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA12FqliDuMb
"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1dSx7WrYLg
We were sitting on the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1E2NCw90lK
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1096Please respect copyright.PENANABq7cetRqgd
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAyKCdcQILTP
stuff with Collins' too.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGYxxzF49vs
"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAI48BKvDliJ
I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1096Please respect copyright.PENANALbw44ca8rT
"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAI2PSE4j0zn
"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeXQoVRyd68
"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUNOPusdWQA
"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1096Please respect copyright.PENANArFTLw4veKK
"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfRrvFwi9lZ
I distributed the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWv1zloyGPO
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbEE3qiGfVE
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbg4z2bRj0F
was meant for me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbKGHGTk2mc
"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIomhgXouTT
"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."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ2vSYkd6y
"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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdp6otmoGVB
"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAY4mDYnjbvn
When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1096Please respect copyright.PENANAstcWVXzqM7
For a moment, time 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3mvzcJvVtY
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAma1YvziSEe
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkUBIsa9puN
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmRnC9hgcJV
mess.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmUeKr1bU4v
"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXVPUVwlaoB
"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANARobA8AsAIQ
"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9rvzKTfUwR
"Hide," Zoey whispered.1096Please respect copyright.PENANACwJBb6lylq
For me, it kind of felt 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGIylPAi4Kz
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJYq05Caceq
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeVtzpdOCvn
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqOSkOGTJhM
When Collins came to the1096Please respect copyright.PENANApSrzsMLIAQ
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcHwAycxhmh
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOH9CQoVhVG
he just couldn't.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9obdIaVTzF
"Hey, Collins," I said.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAEmepaoLHrK
"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1096Please respect copyright.PENANADTPM1fZbox
"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPQ99YNxUvy
Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmSTXBBegVD
"Thanks."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWcEoPCo1jB
"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfEwgCz8bZf
"Who?" I asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAP5Y5e2zzBZ
"You know who I'm talking about."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXih9E21r3p
"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVSfdHn8CaL
"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAENgfKjk9kG
Collins went over to the1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6rKd9g9xjG
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANANCiZEwi89M
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlCqm7xBSLB
up at him.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnPvn1oxIru
"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIvnoynW88T
"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAs4OH2AWN28
Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwy0zFTLMta
"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAE1KCiBPXNP
"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1096Please respect copyright.PENANApTrb5xYe0x
"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzSElZtZdhd
"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA42EjLDTgMA
"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAa3VdgkisiU
"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1096Please respect copyright.PENANATFYkQ2UZPq
"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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6OopURs5wm
"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1XGTujoBtj
"Here, we brought you an1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdv5f5bHrBp
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvF9lmBEaZL
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAHFaNtKzgT
"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIyF3fVqwBZ
"Thanks," said Collins, 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAxHfOA5OZ4P
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzd8cD1VmlU
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAYLvMgUNnsk
Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1096Please respect copyright.PENANApwDXmGrdgc
"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPTajXoXsIu
Lee was right. Collins 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmj7PuYtPUd
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAS4gOln0izT
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6DrqwM0Mho
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1096Please respect copyright.PENANARjLIUA9cWs
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMCK7FhtZwK
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9t5UQjhlrg
"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOFG0vjP2Mq
We continued sorting out1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOdd52nwurF
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1096Please respect copyright.PENANAj8RWxVQd47
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfGaxRLZYMl
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOVubxz2OeY
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAal3gBFR6Jl
already too late and we all needed to rest.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2NqI3VPrQw
We hadn't managed to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdRnqdkxJzj
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1bcz84nGOq
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHc5FOGSxD7
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXX3HdeIL8x
course.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAW6z5z9diqG
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdfxoBRRUFY
"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA29uu5uTbQe
Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9DkCNnVpa
"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAexf7enY8l7
"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnWMaPBi7J6
I looked at her with an 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAm4avGHc26c
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHRjP5YETzI
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAN9M06hF2E3
"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANArHOiEKqRiG
"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAr9m4iCw2Ia
"Fine?" I looked at 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJtb4kHDtbS
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeSLBbLzE9b
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPJO2OCxals
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1096Please respect copyright.PENANALmjPCshcn1
"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA81q1hc4nhR
"Tell me, please!" I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFQoxAzZRJc
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhdzKU5tmpa
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIXYhqJNGNl
tell me something. So tell me!"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0I49wPklEu
"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAESsXSlaG6W
"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhfTdanqzLy
"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3oABt8QYHD
"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."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0uakwgDNfs
Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1096Please respect copyright.PENANApU4mc8mWkF
I felt really excited 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGTTHnkIBZB
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAH8Z0EaX17u
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1096Please respect copyright.PENANANPZszmsrgA
"I don't know how I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJIjAoRdaOd
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8N6nipyiEA
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfzYvK3lNZ8
Tower."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAw0E41vJ3oe
"Ya, I saw the picture. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJONyQAN1qY
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6Si0wEjyni
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPk6sivMauu
"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1ho7KNbcGF
"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAsMsPH0OrMm
"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."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjvZNmmhDKw
"What?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtTSDKmFSyC
"When we got to the top 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJjhKVhcSZO
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAG2934iY8DG
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ12BKSaDK
others had left and it was just GD and I."1096Please respect copyright.PENANArFEaZF990Z
My eyes grew wide. I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeEilyw19jq
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1096Please respect copyright.PENANApuXbPH4Vrx
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9zAaC7eiA8
"You two kissed."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAS7sOjsw0On
"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1096Please respect copyright.PENANACYRIuOiEHm
"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAc94LXkS6VQ
"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJCD5dU8ibA
"Well, you were in one 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvQNPdOLpEG
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1096Please respect copyright.PENANAoFK2UWXfNA
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGoIKmNOsgg
"Smart."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8qZusGw4M1
"Thanks. So, how was it?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjvwxpz8fHj
Zoey smiled like a fool,1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMs5qEpVYSZ
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAM5e7F5R8yw
it was so magical at the same time."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9FgT9NArQF
I couldn't help but 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA74FD8fGRnX
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhkbuIdHcQS
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAk2ARKBWbMj
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbSVOK3zkiW
everyone at the prom.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWniiQN0HXN
"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgVn3AUS1Z2
"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA96SgGwqT7J
"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdGnQbcxupM
"And? Anything else? 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWsSs1rmoEF
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5mGSx1yApL
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJJa1npz7Ku
"When we were on top of 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6FHsZOIT9
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiqWdgKg3Zu
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1096Please respect copyright.PENANApiXSciMUzG
Well that's a bummer. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMOwLFrCbiO
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfiDUZIZvrd
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAhtzMnLeCi
really liked Zoey and not me?1096Please respect copyright.PENANASx0uqcpBfl
I brushed that off. Why 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZXaIwsUEY
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1096Please respect copyright.PENANArLVfpQcKMV
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFBEX0sI9L1
hopes up with it.1096Please respect copyright.PENANARNqj85eUKr
"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXx5RlZLLYT
"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAj369KMApz0
"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1096Please respect copyright.PENANARMIlMMjVrH
"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvKf81GNjJA
"Thanks, Sam."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMN82c7xqB8
"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8YmYpCzhla
"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAuqbHHEr3Yr
I left Mr Panda on the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8vp1b8em1Q
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANApjgZa8qNyB
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1096Please respect copyright.PENANAq3AoblwYVg
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAG72wYtJoFK
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAohuHn5KpW0
"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAj4tuYb9OYk
"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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAu9lslWTjw0
I laid my head on the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAE2Eg9M1QoC
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlNCM1bbQDK
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAyg0DjQcjlt
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAo27pm5rSWo
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1096Please respect copyright.PENANATm3fzS7kN5
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1096Please respect copyright.PENANASuziJycXtk
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIdJBgy6Z5A
have been.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0kdBqtADrH
Zoey would have only 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkeSaehnSsn
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqyxWo5jWi0
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAn9Fnn87S9V
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1096Please respect copyright.PENANADzcuhPQwuO
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZZ5xrta1R
I pulled Mr Panda closer1096Please respect copyright.PENANARCgYPd9UPq
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAng69lLlBzb
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAYPZV3AWWdo
***1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwYPPTG8aAd
I was given a round of 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgVpB5PXJzQ
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA33jpLmfSSt
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1096Please respect copyright.PENANARMFG08g0XZ
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzoVXCeNILN
"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUmf19zIXHU
"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmeneQJ4UBu
"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdxxUbDdIYm
"Then you better eat 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA899VM0CVka
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQKiLVkHKiO
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvdQzRgW1KM
We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIDh4Bdp3S7
"I can't wait for us to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANARs0lxyHYDo
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1096Please respect copyright.PENANAe24xP3Uwcm
beside me. I could only tell why.1096Please respect copyright.PENANADjP8lf3qId
Christine who sat 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2p9lwM5ZZM
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1096Please respect copyright.PENANArw7Mw0Yu3O
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7VWOsx80d6
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1096Please respect copyright.PENANAopo81gkrGO
and G-Dragon.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAG4pBsHKjC3
When we were done 1096Please respect copyright.PENANADVGVxCwZUe
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAC8CvnUvaMm
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAyym9aLn9BR
"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAC0Nq7QkqpN
"What is it, Zoey?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1FA9OSLhsc
"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfKoHBSQ4AV
Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAacMTdoewcy
"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAg5nqbjcORM
"That's the problem," 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdgwzKvOySk
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6EvSIoNLQF
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkhSXQtJ5q1
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWzSWO12ECa
Mike turned away and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAUHG5dEpgy
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAKc5Lu06j12
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFErnZWhdJF
something?1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfFwQsGHKhR
"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAsT0R7QtPTA
We agreed with Christine1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdvNduVZByJ
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4b7z2AqEfm
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAppZRpwONsG
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWYytFeGN4D
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVuICgyxKs2
"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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeQojRQcp1u
"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8wEWtRHpqX
"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqFfpzH0jaM
"I also feel like I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFgNvPFuyLf
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6G8EJ0OlWp
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZcVGmYOkR4
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAF9y7lA7ikt
"Do you think we should 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0MCX3qsGJd
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1096Please respect copyright.PENANASDY0H93RlD
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1096Please respect copyright.PENANApet6wAHgB6
"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1096Please respect copyright.PENANASUIZKHoJ68
"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANALn2dSry7iH
"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnuGpzOPp82
"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vxb2PBvlO
I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIs2i8LXyzv
"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfIT5EIuhsR
"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkCXePhY8I7
Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAtRmtmWcxm
I stood up from the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAo2Cb9Q2fZM
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA69Y8Eas9I7
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAljJkgyZ1mT
conversation.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAxHf3F1Fp8g
When I went back, I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA10GQSHtu2q
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAraPyF37Hxd
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtfCnir8iXG
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1096Please respect copyright.PENANArVp3soIfet
"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1096Please respect copyright.PENANACedfBEgg7u
"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcnLJrbL6Sn
"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiztFbFtwVq
"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3t5NaglTG3
"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAoJwCqyf9ju
"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAKjFKTXVSMU
"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8xeyGygIAD
G-Dragon gave me a weird1096Please respect copyright.PENANApglmjJip6L
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1096Please respect copyright.PENANADUDzql7j8n
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1096Please respect copyright.PENANABvhTi2ADFP
took their place on the couch.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvr3CzFjpXj
"Christine and Daesung, I1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFspFApzZL9
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXJUoidCrsB
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWbc2DBZwXO
"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAksThl0Nnet
"Ya, we will sing the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqRWa9PN7l5
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAApq2VF04or
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiHGpiJd8di
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3Js3ZFGNcF
producer has the lyrics printed out."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAxVPPrifK3E
"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAP0RbPkDvks
I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAklqGI3rBHp
Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAh5tfxP73gJ
Then we all went over 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1W6VVf3jRa
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1096Please respect copyright.PENANASjo609zOGe
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1096Please respect copyright.PENANANmicFuEWj5
"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1096Please respect copyright.PENANASzh27y75fg
"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAj95N13eZq5
"Me too," said TOP.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzq8hhaqDta
"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAK9fVO1zlUb
"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1JxVNx1XZH
I didn't look up at him 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHrxVzrgYVh
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1096Please respect copyright.PENANAouzT3g5Orn
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdhKT8jgvSM
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4XXkEk5snv
"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANABsSafIHq5i
I started to relax my 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5wdygOCrc3
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFpMI8kUah7
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdDNWrpF2Ev
"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAX9Jje3xn75
"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJrDWQnPx3g
G-Dragon came to sit 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAARbtzfjebT
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFoLEezVFeV
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOGvJJ1C6ng
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAP1PCMCt2n7
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9rhBPnEwqS
"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9zDjPd4TiA
"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOPIeAj5CkI
G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1096Please respect copyright.PENANASp3A1YZMeV
"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXqErmsAHQm
"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnHEiDLXVKX
"Really?" the music producer asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAD3zWkPd89X
"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFC4sfITPLo
"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAEvlEsO83CP
"Give him a chance, 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtNbMLEHBl5
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1096Please respect copyright.PENANAKnmFA8PPXw
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHYp536FlnY
headphones and put them on.1096Please respect copyright.PENANABuNlywc6v8
"Okay, this is 1096Please respect copyright.PENANADlae66eltv
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3RshL9nbOc
join them and see what needs some changing."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOdPg91kMto
I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwVC6VnHoji
"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmQ0axlLGbZ
"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmN0tyAJJQu
The others looked at me 1096Please respect copyright.PENANANhAr9WePNs
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjguSo4G5HT
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAuTGdJfpb0U
"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIXIcgGa7wY
"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZlMiTwUlgq
"That's going to be a 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXW7oKk9W73
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAa1hcTGBq9a
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFPR6k8Vhk3
"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAx0P33GYSE5
Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6tQnNfiyyw
"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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANApjfADxx74P
I looked over at Zoey 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzSjttVJ9ys
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0EPieQ9TR
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzYcyKOgTy1
I put a stool in front 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0lomtar8iq
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1096Please respect copyright.PENANANESZEU9wph
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcC6U0EccGd
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAD5c5l31p1E
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOCSqDFYtPI
others.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkr16AMVs1f
"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAR0wyrQuP3K
Taeyang and I sung the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAV3QYibFUIp
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAM3bxpZl5lb
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7EC63JPWoS
great and everyone cheered.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3r4wcJKrSH
"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAO6hERd0rFq
"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbtlK639hEZ
"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAj7saaisDsy
TOP started to rap the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAznHj8eedr5
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWW16B7yVnq
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1096Please respect copyright.PENANALEQN8cyGWE
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmvyzw824EE
Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlHklHnjT9d
"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAM3l6aFfVjc
"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAK66BPMKJ0H
"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1UcrmXPWLO
Daniel and Seungri sung 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAyxEPv4wFa9
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6zI4QPblBw
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAEOYvGPMn6E
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPwwenk30Y3
clapped for themselves and cheered.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAI1QcjHbOfw
"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1096Please respect copyright.PENANApetVU7rgeJ
"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUbbBeRIG5G
I almost fell off the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAKpIZtMKbIS
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAn2E9uiRbYR
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAxiqcz6wpQR
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiIqGfPzm5t
We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1096Please respect copyright.PENANABfmWTbSLMp
"I have to say, you all 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3XsXx96q8Q
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPMuG7WmNci
smile. "Keep up the good work."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAslD0G0z3vV
"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1096Please respect copyright.PENANARqkuNuFCEL
"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzZwbhAIQaG
No one said anything. We1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOVrKepIkCT
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAq9ly1VaYWW
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnHckBUbAwZ
talking.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAEPcNPKPPO7
"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqscOMzVaD4
"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1096Please respect copyright.PENANApPzMWEaZi3
That, I couldn't answer.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAprKn8sVZfx
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1096Please respect copyright.PENANAolDSRpgU1E
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAW9O7ZLtJdI
"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2ik0tUAhC1
"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA36HvRGrJzV
"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6cdQfUKW8v
"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAC7KNWwoCQW
"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFho8CrzLL1
"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4dcVuzZPwk
The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAlMFCy8WFT
"I want them back here 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3TASaoSrj0
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFgHtktKQCw
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcycCOWVFKl
I gulped as I felt the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvPP8wMwFuQ
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbEMhwwb3ji
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwzA1XKXKe0
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1096Please respect copyright.PENANACEelbNFajr
No one said anything 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAln8QJtUJwr
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9xluB6iCqf
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbPVChTOEJO
"Where could they have 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUGggUedIG1
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlDSkSVAeZE
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAx6aHePPEhu
"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAaOpOd6BGWg
"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1096Please respect copyright.PENANADesZvd2jah
"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVSC1LJcMkj
"Then we better start 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3AMNcWlKG7
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiexssQovcV
looking for them will be difficult."1096Please respect copyright.PENANArBEbKkqwju
We all agreed to split 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAsSEnubXS55
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfQadvpnOHS
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMBK3TI1lI3
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAckfPQBbKrq
All the studio rooms 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9n5GUDTCmI
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ1deCkCQ0
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1096Please respect copyright.PENANABmj7nB1PZX
"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQhpqMKaNat
I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvwg4bibVSS
"Almost fifteen minutes."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAxSp2ApK16C
"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZicF3Inx8s
He nodded and pulled out1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ue6H4wH81
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAc7ed0tgksa
walked out of it and came towards us.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA9dgOkKXW7x
"Anything?" Daniel asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtp7Fnyp6Ea
"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAyCK5TZcIXR
"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAYV9RzTd4Hb
"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAml5VNE2hOk
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIk8x56w3yP
"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOTiNTi7Qd2
"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1096Please respect copyright.PENANADYlIlp1O2t
"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJQtCP7oq3s
"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAeMcNQ6kwqK
"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3nG8froEG2
I hadn't said a word 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0hcT9khq7G
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1096Please respect copyright.PENANArtvxEnwg6J
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAK2q4DR3Bdc
but worry.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAi2aDRUBM3o
"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtsqOz7NrRY
"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlH9oG61xMw
Daesung motioned his 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXD3aWYuJCE
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWC7dii3jbz
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAZvkFZVSGT
"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAxPQxRQt7e
Taeyang and the music 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdOm0CmorUI
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4PxKV3MF6E
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1096Please respect copyright.PENANARPb2a2AJjQ
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJYs2x5Pe56
and angry at the same time.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAddlFImYHS0
"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGcBlFgnFvy
I looked over at Daesung1096Please respect copyright.PENANAD7xSSlMv6C
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcVGNUct3Nr
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWbNLQYia0B
the play button.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAt5zekhYq8x
***1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5VhMr5JDNv
"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwuIZM7Nwyw
I came crushing back 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQh11jAxV1U
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANABNjyGfGrti
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqyxHZSV1It
I had so many mixed 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAoiIyZh11Ca
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXxrYWNOWPR
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1096Please respect copyright.PENANABwBNL2IZZX
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0QQgpa51TA
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUHbg5qp7aA
I could tell that the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfBydHxcVlC
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANASO5RuRj8PQ
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnq9JLt0LY5
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhRsLRqPTPY
"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2uq9RXIkw1
"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVBfhTMVurC
"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAt9KXTLoPbk
"They went out without taking you guys along?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAz7xummpH8x
I folded my arms and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4e1em5TfeT
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ1VZkgi8m
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVlA32brLqw
"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7zrWnBn2Z
"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMuvPZIPmQN
I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFuS2f5dXDH
"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1096Please respect copyright.PENANACMwQQ0wEHp
"No, we haven't heard it yet."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAV39QbJEclk
I could feel the others 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbqO6zoXrTx
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZB5P33AONd
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqAaIIs4sUW
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAd0CNphZv82
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6SH4ZRx16u
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVp0htBV2Wa
"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHVxFlj4KMs
"Okay." I nodded my head.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMjhUmXe8v6
When Yang Hyun-suk left,1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdnV7u9KNLF
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1lFIQvyiVJ
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAuF1tV7TzG2
"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwDpv17zxWq
"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1096Please respect copyright.PENANADHSd4F5ZTn
"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMtzGVwGOTF
"Not until I hear what 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4qIyhuXxmU
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1096Please respect copyright.PENANAl7Q9NN9hVJ
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzn3eEuyFB8
trying to calm down.1096Please respect copyright.PENANARdxxvBAMku
"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1096Please respect copyright.PENANApieYoOzIkf
"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhV2gnj3RVs
"So that we could get 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnzUIMgI1J5
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGS0Xl68iyZ
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfCehvpsbc2
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqQnJomIT2A
"I agree with Sam," said1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0miPNpQRKl
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAD0crtHVrrQ
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA16GUy0aRhh
"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANASHkGSE9IQt
"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAt51lrvf8SW
The rest of the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAAiZkN0hHE0
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1hurFCmCFy
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAscsIDs8j5r
playing cards.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWFLyMrWBKV
I was leaning my chin on1096Please respect copyright.PENANAltejYl70Ws
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqIJsgKXYsc
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ5fdeyHmR
especially to me.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmkH6Pft07A
Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZqskDb0Ly7
I suddenly sat upright 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAU2LLOSh2bN
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlf6UwGstjw
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAL2ULscibst
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1096Please respect copyright.PENANAonwJWkY3ae
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1096Please respect copyright.PENANAN9eUHRSvok
"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAaTe2mbqhxj
"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA36uA5zUxhO
"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1096Please respect copyright.PENANArh6yiUdC3M
"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAYokZvuy5KQ
"Maybe we can just order1096Please respect copyright.PENANATjp7H8UYvm
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQEoX26phdL
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAoM3IRuAZxL
"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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7pcCZ2r42p
"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgd5uvwNUjT
"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdPEUD08mPZ
"I heard that Zoey and 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAyrFwCTVnqQ
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWQAsAzos88
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1096Please respect copyright.PENANANcNO2owrvh
"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWDLbykr3tJ
"Then it's a good thing 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhbPTaVj4zU
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAdbFgriTnQb
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnio2xEscR2
Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAn4mAjEzQnY
"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtICVAPi5mO
Everyone soon dropped 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcxYkrm2tlT
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAz3l1OV1Opp
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUZcBaAwcsy
I had never eaten pizza 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiWxDuGTwEg
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6FgzdGkDq
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwk3tJqxZQb
We were done finishing 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1q2GbTHmp6
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAFoXvUUKrp6
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvB9KJnGIhd
"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlcDqXBvLvk
"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAahNFFg465Y
We were huddled up on 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAuKK66CEtTh
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5NXj62SMkv
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHWsnaN09Xq
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA90n4XfNjvk
"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAW6DinGOInC
"You lied? About what?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAw3wVkRmQ8X
"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPT9xpws4jn
"But why?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAgNGUOVl5KZ
"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."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAePMhfBOFFH
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?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkeLIRa0TDo
I didn't expect Lee to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANABkN8gr48Qg
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvz5zPZ0NBh
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8pYiLY1Qy8
"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAySIaIhxrvT
"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6HLvU5fnye
I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfUpTpN3oXL
"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUHV9WHLcdg
I stood up from the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwmZusWuOko
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8Efr1kcWCG
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlnJyQX0Zi3
later.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAoW2MokIjnf
Trying to find the right1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnc8CwaPxa0
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAF5sUOCsXtz
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmUyDGxhRxy
what for, was the question in mind.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnbNEkqZs2N
"Aren't you going to 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7VyLAkPy47
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1096Please respect copyright.PENANABjgrntkxCU
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3aSpCMCwk9
"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."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJFWcxHu3T3
"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWQZdbEJpUb
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOdctXtc99Q
Lee went on to look at 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAulJpofWDZt
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAl6vVXzHXfw
just thought they might be arguing again."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWZSY44IOUS
"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmZeA5aLwr4
"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAtSeAvHAvMT
"I don't even know what 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhK0luG3t4W
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJkh03CjpeN
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAoeEOFURG8O
"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAr2XXykjeu2
No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUTNrAegrE0
"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnMAv3IgnWq
"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1096Please respect copyright.PENANANzvRYspE8U
Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwfTgr0zAJq
It only took five 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2RUDqChEzS
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcGPPIJplC4
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAA85iH3AyRV
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAaHZqtN4LoX
"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1096Please respect copyright.PENANASPvrjxyUaK
When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhPEnbQQNmr
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAopzrgtpRoH
"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAuTIiXfKXEW
"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1096Please respect copyright.PENANABdVynVgoKV
"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiQO45fWidW
"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZSFMeUVUA
"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANApKYbiOyot8
"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAinx1mvFYH7
"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5CRYRyONFY
"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1096Please respect copyright.PENANATfQyCqCV3v
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAN1HUZaSOtc
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANALDL3NkSDwB
"Why did you this?" I asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAEFhjwWwc7T
"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ub4gnf1Jd
"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."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUEqAW6Fjtw
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAatJGlRenKF
"The instrumental is in 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQrQ20sfS7n
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfxE10P1ShW
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAjpWI3daTCL
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAkJqa5J98aT
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqBBZPt5lZu
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAhjal7KzDeL
pissed."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAy1ezYgZGbO
"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."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAc36qHiaKVy
"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOYFXHORWNz
"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAaXvLpzGQUj
I looked at Zoey and she1096Please respect copyright.PENANAse3V49L5eu
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1096Please respect copyright.PENANASpzyCB3YkF
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVENW2gDReW
was mad at me for.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZYDXXnuj3Z
"Now is not the right 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAUf3R3PEYPa
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1096Please respect copyright.PENANAWvLVwkC869
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1RGehKWwAC
understand.1096Please respect copyright.PENANArgn3QNmIye
Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGJlbgnkPIh
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbMVOFZPFv3
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQOxf4EdNqZ
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAB1V02an9uw
"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."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGi4EtVY51B
I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwStMdsxOiZ
"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1YiKp4Kjjt
Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAk73MbtUkZF
"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8xbSd3o0Fa
"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAf8lfM83gW8
"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAaihlej19Hs
"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAfdHOI2zfls
I paused with my mouth 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA84CwbzoDqM
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAVRgfXwTwIi
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwCIrSYVchr
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGwCCgLJX7J
I looked at G-Dragon and1096Please respect copyright.PENANA3uMERq88Zr
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqZGA3Ky9uo
face wondering what he was thinking.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAK5AGY5f3NS
"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGuM8X04BFn
"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1096Please respect copyright.PENANApgb2AvU4YQ
"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vm9FcwtIb
I smiled and Seungri 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAzXL0HFNa5r
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAc1meZAhaQH
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIxzoEQer55
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAicHkZeCAsP
"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAoX0hZ3bq8Q
I smiled a little more. 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAvSCKpNDjAW
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA4FeJcvWsfD
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIhO4F8URCU
were at war again.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGwZVw1m2Tw
"But we can't start 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAB0CKyD7Ovz
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAqhb06Pknkc
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2HY3eY2zn
I sat upright and alert.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAmSunxGu6cq
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAOg0Z38LrkB
have to record the track the day after?"1096Please respect copyright.PENANAMx4eUZ0zDO
"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAbBJ9wnW8ro
"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAPnw27nkb3o
"But why didn't you tell1096Please respect copyright.PENANALkXHVojxjE
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcDI9LSjotz
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAugdYZy3uYP
"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAHkwmzwXBoV
"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXmO7MILI6w
"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA5cjRHf2pvE
"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAnqAZCl1YJu
"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAGF1o2M3AMx
"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA13AWSFX4Pc
"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAlrWlpg8aI0
"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAJtuovnDwIn
"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1096Please respect copyright.PENANAcqo6oXgYtC
It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAuOavUdp9FW
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAypz1XDrlJd
I turned to look at him 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAIH7bX9Of2T
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA63mysUwEaI
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAV8U62AaBOq
me like that.1096Please respect copyright.PENANANvhpgbmPjC
"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0uV4ATWiM4
"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA1dCrvDI87L
"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAk81gREW3qm
"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1096Please respect copyright.PENANADlKXAxTHGZ
"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAECMMdo9YOo
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAwQrQ0ELf1K
We looked at each other 1096Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pz8OdpxmO
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1096Please respect copyright.PENANA0qesBNumTk
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA2UmBm2gFBa
Maybe he also felt the same.1096Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7gv2D1q0d
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.1096Please respect copyright.PENANA8ekO10WLXy
I then realised that I 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAXyVfoct20G
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAiiFtaaqy12
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1096Please respect copyright.PENANAD9iNmxjwnp
another time.
