"Come on, Sam, please don't do this to us," Mike pleaded.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWexjFVRf0R
"Ya, we're your brothers and we're really worried about you," said Daniel.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp6Ma8CZr0
"Sorry, guys, I'm still not going to tell you," I said. "Well, not now at least."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUnqPIvmkY
"You've never been this stubborn in your entire life," said Mike. "What's wrong with you?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6YZdFQpex
I shrugged. "Well, I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGArUYPC3EW
guess it's because I don't know what to tell you. I've no idea what to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE2FTFyihO
say. And I have no idea where I stand anymore."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDOup6jh74
I continued to look at 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm2QoZ4dgd
my sad face in the mirror as I sat on the chair. My two brothers stood 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCTx94gXGZ
at either side of me, staring back at my reflection. I looked at them 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DHcDBentK
through the mirror and I could tell that they were feeling down and low.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvtTodo1qg
I hated that I had to put everyone in this situation, especially Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA070K9tDA
Yesterday passed on 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD8MJCVmO6
quite slow since everyone now knew that G-Dragon and I still weren't on 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQFMnRo810
good terms with each other. And when we had to prepare ourselves for 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW51D4po9fk
the interview, we had to act like nothing was wrong or else Collins 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum5vBKkCF6
would be up to our necks if he noticed. The rehearsals went on just 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9cVFP48Ag
fine, but afterwards, my group members never stopped bugging me about 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16tUeMzKmc
the whole thing till evening, and I had still not said a word.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FfJZbq564
"Come on, guys," said 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJD0Xt3OPK
Zoey who sat directly behind me, facing another mirror and a makeup 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiRtzpMKD1
stylist was attending to her. "Last night, I tried my best to make her 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UM38nPGZd
talk before we even went to bed. But she wouldn't budge. I even 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieaHHFrHqt
threatened to rip Mr Panda's head off, but she saved the panda before I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTLUp8C4Xr
could even start the execution."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL0VB05otk
That was true. Last 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4epkVGxvKG
night didn't end well for both Zoey and I in our room. I was pretty 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIWJD2Ghwn
lucky that I even saved the panda before she could rip it's head off. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU27xVQ16y
And we ended up going to bed without even saying goodnight to each 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzbFo6QuRF
other.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HcQeXdrrr
"I know you're all dying1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lnUkPbI0I
to know," I said as I turned to look at Zoey's back. "But believe me 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVVoPH1f6x
when I say that I don't know what to tell you."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1NjM75Inn
"You've been saying that1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicfAlC56Wi
since yesterday," said Christine who sat in front of the mirror beside 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmxfVxHUas
mine, her hair was being curled by one of the hair stylists. "We're 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYJRfzbFEJ
tired of that, you know?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46f736v4TT
"Then it's best you guys stop bugging me about it until we meet with the others after the interview."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHK0U9w5pr
"I agree," said Daniel. "I hope you and GD clear everything up."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpljjE3FWk
"I even tried to talk 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT8oCtPo3k
about it with G-Dragon yesterday," said Zoey as the stylist put her on 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk231LmVZIS
some eyeliner. "But he never texted me back nor picked up his phone to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ3Y2Rn0G1
talk. He just went cold on me."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgFo4wa2Fo
That was GD, alright.I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbmp1QJcAy
kept that to myself. Saying it out loud will just create a big mess in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq8KRic2BX
the dressing room and I wouldn't be able to cool Zoey down.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93lwboNdMp
"I bet he didn't expect it," said Mike. "I think it's better for him not to talk to anyone."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhOZ3cDcWw
"True," said Christine.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbqL5784aj
"I just hope he is okay," said Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRaRcWNt0x
I rolled my eyes. Of 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvOxSARDHW
course he was okay. That's if he wasn't drinking his life away. Maybe I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTurO9LlBbZ
should warn Zoey. But she already knows about his habit, does she? I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LqubruwT7
hope so.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh1DfM0tgN
We dropped the topic 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QjK2t41fD
about G-Dragon. Our minds went on to what's going to happen during the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvYljLrJoD
interview. I was pretty nervous about it since it was our first TV 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqulMAJH6o
interview together as a group ever since we came here to Korea.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB46xUn43ln
It was five minutes 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU0lo4xYUd
tillthe interview and Collins came in to check on us. And he came with 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlquUFYy4b
the one person I wasn't expecting to see for the rest of the day. Yang 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ7k6ArsPB
Hyun-suk.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoFvLLjiq6
I looked down 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFZjCa9jhP
pretendingnot to have seen the two managers enter the room. I saw them 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM1TEwyfRe
through the mirror and luckily I was being applied a little bit of blush1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNAQqAfz3F
by the makeup artist.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm04QBSULz
"You're all looking glorious today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXB7oYLnx4
He fully got our attention now. We all turned to look at him and muttered 'thank you'.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EjYITFZ5U
"You have to get ready," said Collins. "You will be on any minute now."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuN2SUbwVh
"Don't worry, we have been prepared for this our whole lives," said Zoey. "We won't let you down."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw3IxgmcGO
"I sure hope so," said Collins. "I'm warning you, Zoey. Don't say anything stupid."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLMYO6xost
"Does that mean I can't joke around, then?" Zoey shrugged.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacmZIGFJ19
"You can," said Yang Hyun-suk. "But not about him." He pointed to Collins.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzEcTCx77L
"That, I agree," said Christine.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgxaL1auW5
I smiled when I looked at Collins, giving a face to Yang Hyun-suk.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghb0pDhrhn
It was now time for the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gtYpfh4PT
interview and when we went to face the audience on set, we were 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQlsKEJ2Ps
welcomedwith a round of applause. And the TV interviewer welcomed us so 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPeTVMx3n5
kindly too.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOxlOITsDG
The interview went on 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa8vIEmuHV
perfectly. We had so much fun talking about our lives and we were asked 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YoO983hXr
questions from the audience that weren't so complicated. We were having a1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6RuVyVsRJ
good time, especially with Zoey blabbering on and making the others 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKxW4MXPrl
laugh.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2GDNbD41k
We were then asked 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO1fbCFIAf
personal questions about our dating life. That was one topic I never 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9nn8KOGm9
liked talking about. But I had to put up a face for the sake of the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVLTbs3SEl
audience and the fans watching on TV.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiaNppnmu9
As usual, the questions 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzca2enRcj
were mostly directed at me. As usual, I told the audience that I wasn't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU9YfFCyUv
ready to date yet and that the right one would come when I least 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHblh9rf89
expected it. And then the question I hadn't thought of in a while, 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgQeR8cGyi
raised to the surface.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlbKmhSvQV
"So, what about you and G-Dragon?" the interviewer asked. "Don't you think you two were meant to be together?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs20B2W8JA
There was a 'whooo' 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4WySLekVm
thatcame from the audience. I should have prepared myself for this. But I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBjZDMMQxT
was dumbstruck as I looked at the interviewer who couldn't stop smiling1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRd3WT16x2
at me, waiting for my answer. He had a very mischievous smile.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9gvkzMjim
"I..eh," I hesitated. I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv4fQ8TwBX
probably looked dumb in front of the audience if not the whole world. I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2eZmWIGL8
twirled my curly hair and didn't know what to say next.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRB4CSKAcZ
"No, way," said Zoey 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkrgZPwn2i
whosat beside me. "G-Dragon and Sam can never date. Besides, it's not 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9hJs50fPR
like they would date given that we aren't going to say here for long."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsYZ2xsREi
I looked over at Zoey 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavmFNHjPLc
and I could tell that she was offended by the question, now that she and1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV9uAWTguH
GD have some romance between them.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQWlmO95Iz
"Long distance 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPetPWOa1DW
relationships do work out sometimes," said the interviewer. "And a lot 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx3j83Mqya
of us would like to hear what BK has to say about it."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQz6gBu6ms
I gulped and found it pretty hard to speak. Everyone was expecting an answer from me and I didn't know what to say.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU4G8K5m4P
"GD and I are just good friends," I said. "I don't think of us dating."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTmzCWhPf3
"But what of those dating rumours that were going around?" the interviewer asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc6hNOwS8f
"We cleared all that in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc8L4zmPFA
our last interview with the media at YG," I said. "It's not like the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKKbGCcOwm
twoof us ever went out on a date. People like to make up stories. And 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PdX3HWEyx
ever since that video got aired on YouTube, that's when all the dating 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5ydNNOqEH
rumours started."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCYHxe8zRa
"Which was Zoey's fault, by the way," said Mike who sat on my other side.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSesIIIJH7g
"You don't have to remind me, thank you very much," Zoey looked at Mike as though she was about to bite him. Mike smirked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZdeI4ehpq
"But not only did the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr76HZ5c8yZ
video send stories flying," said the interviewer. "When you were done 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gNbUlmWQA
with your interview, G-Dragon saved you from falling and that still 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyIndQni4Y
sparked more rumours."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbRPtUgBKH
"I don't see why people 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q4ipwm4mz
continued with the rumours, to be honest," I said. "He just prevented 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjM5x1cCag
mefrom falling. It's not like the two of us were ballroom dancing or 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObBGU2h3s1
anything."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0jFI5O4T0
"Don't you like GD?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnGkcXipeN
That was one question I wasn't sure of answering myself. And I had to be careful with what I was going to say.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOufJRy16B
"I like G-Dragon, but only as a friend," I said. "A good friend."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C224GcE99
Saying that made me 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcYNSUKgjb
feela little guilty. G-Dragon and I still weren't on good terms. If I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODPzVRymTi
had achance to set things right, I would. But right now, I felt my 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfKObghTId
relationship with him was going nowhere.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzolW90s6p
"So, you don't like like G-Dragon?" the interviewer asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJLM8Sw0uP
"No, not in that way, no," I said, shaking my head.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcMrrWtLOT
"Well, I think the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJNmFX9G69
audience and the rest of the world will agree with me that you two make 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ569flYsDoh
areally cute couple," said the interviewer.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoBa5OEr4Z
I blushed. That's what 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5jDgXVa42
everyone was saying on social media nowadays. The audience gave out 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyr4OrqDFH
murmurs of approval. I felt Zoey shift a little uncomfortably. This was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7isJdIRaV1
awkward for me more than it was for her. I wanted to say sorry, but I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJONKyWjJ0
kept it to myself.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfA4jZ93Wm
"I agree with you," said Daniel. "They just look so cute together."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnvL4ihsmo
"I also agree," said 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ5nVKlmgH
Christine as she giggled. "To be honest, I really thought the two would 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XQtOqQjN0
date, but sadly, she doesn't feel that way for him."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OE2iq1KP7
I looked at both 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ083MlRyRzH
Christine and Daniel and I couldn't tell if they were joking around 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoQYvFK9sI
withme or not. Maybe they were doing this just to intimidate me because 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p437tKQVl
of G-Dragon and I. But they were also upsetting Zoey too. Christine knew1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0ObTteYgm
better.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefLoT0t3NA
"Yes, too bad indeed," said the interviewer. "So, moving on...."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzK66TIqaP
The interviewer soon 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iWy72DRVH
started to talk about the other BigBang members and we talked about how 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnNlABmvrW
great it was to collaborate with them. That cooled things down a little.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0idCEjsWb
As the interview was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEyHT73CNZ
coming to an end, we performed one of our hit songs in front of the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwMgtdQC9c
audience. After a round of applause, the TV interview was over.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p9Ngn3lyx
I had to admit, it was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWBut338Yg
pretty awesome and we had so much fun. At the end of the interview, we 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7axHXeLudv
took a few pictures with some people from the audience and even with the1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNnQpfFPsm
interviewer.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDONIgCryC5
It was soon time to leave the TV studio, but we were all back in the dressing room busy chattering about the interview.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ugrXLiZcl
"I had fun today," said Mike.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bVBD4XDH1
"I hear we will be having more interviews like this one," said Christine.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8fszq9R58
"That will be great," said Zoey as she had her phone in her hand.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKJ4rwnvXd
"Trying to call, G-Dragon?" I asked as I came to stand beside her.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOUryx62lh
"Ya, I left him a message before the interview and he hasn't replied."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvM8tQK7Ja
"Try calling him again," said Mike.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5iKhall0j
"Better not call him now," said Daniel. "I bet he still isn't going to answer."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdj5TcS51j
Zoey sneered at Daniel. "You should shut up for once. You have already made me upset because of what you said in the interview."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQEFtPBJod
"What did I say?" Daniel looked confused as he turned to look at me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCty2un5YSc
"Don't mind her," I said as I held my brother's shoulder and Zoey went to the other side of the room to call G-Dragon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Ieiw1GAv
Christine smirked and I knew that what she said during the interview was just to get on Zoey's nerves.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTk0TKSKeW
"Still no answer," Zoey said as she came back to join us. "Now I'm getting worried."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aLlcGvK50
"I hope nothing serious has happened to him," said Daniel.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rp9U8XMI7
"Well, we have to leave and meet with the others soon," I said. "At YG."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDhcPK41yV
"We're meeting there? Why?" Zoey asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjBC4NzskP
"Tae and the others think it's a good place to meet there. We can't go anywhere else."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPNAx11e7e
"Okay. I hope GD shows up," said Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6rfGKuMeV
"Ya, me too." I rubbed my neck, hoping that GD was okay.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGi6lLHv3c
Lee came in the dressing room and announced that we can leave.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHsRS9PEdf
"I told the managers that we will need to use the car so they left together," said Lee.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TdVophWcY
"Thanks, Lee. We better go."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDdHHdIGIE
We left the TV studio 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfS0nTAhdX
and while we were in the car, Zoey continued to call G-Dragon, but to no1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdGlFkHk56
avail. I decided to call Taeyang instead.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AvPoGApJC
"Hello? Sam?" Taeyang answered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulLe5EBkth
"Hey, Tae, how are you?" I asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu0uc3AXMa
"I'm okay. I saw your live interview."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivJu3zc8xc
"Ya, em, that's not why I called. Have you by any chance checked up on GD to see if he is coming?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGn4e1iqyD
"I tried reaching him a few times this morning, but nothing. Is something the matter?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4jEyz8frY
"Well, ya. Zoey has been trying to reach him since yesterday, but he hasn't called or texted back."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4PqmgjSnU
"Let me see if I can call his apartment to see if he is okay," said Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZQSH0ASoI
"Okay, are you already at YG?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjIVuQYjYj
"Yes, I'm here with Seungri."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkfvV20y7y
"Okay, we will be right there."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGDJNWB5CN
I cut the line and turned to Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt6j3Yz3xh
"Taeyang has no news either," I said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPoGReFDie
"His phone keeps ringing but he isn't answering," said Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBHFlI1XbG
"Why don't you try and call him, Sam?" Lee asked as she turned to look at me from the front passenger's seat.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AUAaPU05D
I went blank. Why was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6rw59iH3m
Lee asking me to call G-Dragon? Zoey was already freaking out like the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jmgOROuDf
rest of us that he wasn't answering her calls. Did Lee think G-Dragon 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj9gSAu7ML
would respond if I tried to call him?1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2AAbod44I
"Why?" I asked. "I bet he won't answer me as well."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXJFOlEqq7
"Can you at least try?" Lee asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkE4jwmo3n
"There is no harm in trying," said Daniel. "Who knows, he might just answer."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3F8UHFOsW
I looked down at my phone in my hand like it was some creature ready to bite my nose off at any moment. I hesitated.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBaGaTfAur
What would everyone 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZBOQEBhzh
think if G-Dragon really did answer my call? I would be toast, 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V5FY1aAfl
especially with Zoey. The two were like a couple now and it wouldn't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnBUwF1e8L
feel right. What the heck, it wouldn't 'be' right at all. What was I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyNuxr7U6k
going to do?1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRqvnllJwY
"What are you waiting for?" Mike asked, snapping me back to reality. "Do it."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAxHWQFCqc
Everyone's eyes were on 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlYR4DUOjA
me now. And I knew they weren't going to let go of me that easily. I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL4vJgnaVg
stared at Zoey to see what she thought.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugtyOsHM4n
"Go on, Sam," said Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpkitPgOdw
I gulped and tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear. I unlocked my phone, went to my contacts and called G-Dragon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmlOr3taWo
I put the phone to my 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzBpEQGNPR
ear and his phone was ringing. I closed my eyes hoping he wouldn't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DGAqzwQpi
answer. The car had just entered the YG premises. The phone was still 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni2Jzhg6Hr
ringing.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl1bOoukhf
"Looks like he isn't answering," I said, when the car stopped. My phone still to my ear.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ380nSwvkSL
"Just hold on for a few seconds," said Lee as she got out of the car.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74csQJFpoG
The rest also got out and I was left alone. There was no hope left. I knew he wasn't going to answer.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHvzVyQMBG
Just when I thought the line would go dead, I heard a clicking sound and I felt my heart stop.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyhsKqnbXW
"Hello, Sam?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIWXdOdmQk
I was startled. He 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo3sXM5YEq
answered. Oh, no. This was what I had feared. My jaw dropped and no 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT4zMVe6XY
wordcould come out of my mouth. All this felt like a surprise.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc4pLRks8g
"Sam, are you there?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwuCJXmop4
Thank goodness he was okay. He did sound a bit strange though. Must be that he was drunk or he wasn't feeling too well.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKPGJYPuzb
"I know you're there, Sam. Are you worried about me?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvuU4ejqCV
"I...mm...I," I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPIiFNQVyW
hesitated. What was I supposed to say? That yes, I was worried or snap 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVGoaFoaCD
out of your drunken state and get your butt over here?1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ3jJMlWbT
"Has he answered?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV01awdX1p9
I jumped on my seat and cut the line. Lee was standing by the door of the car looking at me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuxtjGDv6k
"Where are the others?" I asked as I looked outside the car.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp18BAq5A8
"They went inside," said Lee. "We better go."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLdoANxFD3
I nodded my head. By the1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKAE5K6qgg
time I was stepping out of the car, my legs were shaking. And the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv8DKSPsGT
colour on face seem to have faded away because I felt really pale.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbCfoe997y
"So, did you talk to him?" Lee asked again.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI4kfUdHul
"I...I..eh."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13lQHW4Adv
"He answered, didn't he?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL5RaWOA0x
I looked at Lee and I knew I couldn't lie to her. "Yes," I answered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSQe6OeW5h
Lee's mouth dropped and she looked at me with so much shock.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNXka3ZWuv
"I knew it!"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4ooPlxzG4
"Shut up, will you? You're going to attract too much attention. Let's go. And don't say a word to anyone."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwpRo6P0cC
Lee put her index finger1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNl6v8ff6W
on her lips and the two of us went inside. The others had already gone 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9hD0jMkzB
upstairs. Lee and I went to join them in the studio.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwMyv4xJgm
"Hey, guys," I said when I came in with Lee.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uXikB56F3
"My little panda," said Seungri as he came to hug me. "You looked so beautiful during the interview."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH4ShgSYPv
"Thanks," I said as I blushed and Seungri took me by the hand and took me further into the room.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmjOqNvkMo
"You guys were just awesome," said Taeyang as he and I both hugged.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH2wFLBf5L
"Thanks. Any news of GD yet?" I asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLadzAhq0LU
"I tried calling his apartment," said Taeyang. "But nothing."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9dWieYr4I
"Did he answer when you called him?" Zoey asked me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD79J4lpQjp
"No, he didn't," I answered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAQ3vassMW
I should be given the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g4MhI03tl
Best Liar Award because Zoey and everyone else believed me for some 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6xwVHmap2
reason. I looked at Lee and all she could do was nod her head a little 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h3Nf4WQod
to assure me that it was okay that I had lied.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28nOoXQWLT
"Maybe it's best we go and check up on him ourselves," said Seungri.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB0pbyZ82q
"That's a good idea," said Mike.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMp8jJUrbH
"Maybe we should wait and see if he shows up?" I suggested.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmmuHMHnC6
"No, I'm getting really worried," said Zoey. "It's best we go."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkALR03ZSuw
"I'll go. Who's coming with me?" Taeyang asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMgmAtQvKR
"I'm coming with you," said Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbKsNWHOK4
"Me too," said Christine.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvbQLVZr8R
"Won't you go along, Sam?" Mike asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X9a3uTnYB
"No, it's best I stay here," I said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR6wobVCWd
"Okay," said Taeyang. "Come on, let's go."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSf86OTYq4
Taeyang, Zoey and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge7Jmuf0Ew
Christine left the studio. I went over to the couch to sit. I felt it 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJVkYjckXu
was a good thing not to go. He was already upset with me. But I was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV6chmPyhx
still surprised he had answered my call.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoX1wpXFrV
"Why didn't you go with them, Sam?" Mike asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwrI29siy4
"Why should I go?" I asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhMsjecNJG
"Because everyone listens to you," said Seungri as he came to sit beside me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CrEi0fvUV
"I wonder why he didn't answer your call, though," said Daniel.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRzKKo1sNJ
"Maybe it's because he is ignoring all of us," I answered, as I looked at my fingernails.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9U3Zyfugx
"I don't think so," said Mike. "One thing I can guarantee for sure, he would listen to you no matter what."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrLBbRH4ZS
"Listen to me? For he and I not to be on good terms, he doesn't."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sIi39i9OK
Lee was still standing in front of me and said, "call him again, Sam."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF02OHGf54
I looked at Lee as though she had read out my death sentence.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2StbkI1q8
"Are you kidding me? I just told everyone that he didn't answer," I said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb9qhbc54m
"Come on, Sam, the others aren't here," said Lee. "Especially Zoey."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalOwfNIhjV
"Wait, what's going on?" Seungri asked as he looked at me and then at Lee.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3WBWDPH15
"G-Dragon answered Sam's call," said Lee.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNumhtedUdO
"For real?" Mike and Daniel asked at the same time.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgUJAfgZYM
"Yes," I answered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1xwbf91Hx
"But why didn't you say anything when the others were here?" Seungri asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LnIYju3df
"Zoey," again, Mike and Daniel answered at the same time.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92dEuZiPhY
"What does this have to do with Zoey?" Seungri looked even more confused.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL4Ik5i7Ru
"Zoey likes G-Dragon," said Mike.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNWTbHYz2R
"And those two now seem like a couple," said Daniel.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjtbf5Rjkw
"If Zoey knew that G-Dragon answered Sam's call...."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhIY0Vs1C5
".....she would be jealous and throw a tantrum," Daniel finished. The two high-fived each other.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8STJ56apr
I was wide-eyed by my brother's enthusiasm with all this. Looks like they already knew about G-Dragon and Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtf13JFTZm
"I'm not going to ask how you know," I said as I folded my arms.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN9H4ruI6j
"We figure things out easily," said Mike with a smirk.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFVhQhlmYF
"Looks like it runs in the family," said Lee as she raised an eyebrow at me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvchwJXnAYU
"I knew there was a reason you delayed to get out of the car," said Daniel.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhrL8fLKBb
"At least you didn't tell Zoey," said Mike.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryRPLRn0PB
"Wait, I'm so confused 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N32RDe8M6
here," said Seungri, blinking his eyes as though trying to see if all of1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufM6pVhr1K
this was a dream. "Zoey likes G-Dragon. And the two are now like a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqIrRJdWk3
couple but without the whole world knowing. And G-Dragon only answered 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbGfoBzgyM
to Sam and not to Zoey and that might upset her because....."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyPsg8gSRz
"G-Dragon likes Sam," finished Lee. She quickly covered her mouth after blurting that out.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHsP7ffThF
I turned to look at Lee with a frown. "Seriously? You can't possibly be too sure about that."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKssWgrIbeK
"It kind of looks like he does, Sam," said Daniel. "It's not that hard to notice."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yqAVwRxdg
"Well, I didn't notice," said Seungri.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2PY24T0TT
"Let's just skip this 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCjZ4uzDms
topic and wait for the others to get here," I said. "By the way, aren't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbvrbRWGpe
Daesung and TOP supposed to be here?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8CjKiKhSn
"They would be here in a few minutes," said Seungri.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsvxUPDGzD
"Should we tell them about all this?" Daniel asked looking at me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVfIeGALpS
"I don't know," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I really don't care if you tell them or not. That's if they don't tell Zoey."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYetS1kOa5Y
"I'm just worried about Zoey," said Lee. "Should we tell her?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhYawWpwtc
"Are you kidding me? That's one thing we shouldn't do," said Seungri. "Who knows what she would do."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAWEZPZTV8
"But keeping it from her will just make things worse, especially when she finds out later on," I said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5MoQjPDs0
"Just think, Sam," said Mike. "Will it be right to tell her today?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12103Bq0XD
"No."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLaNkcT5kN
"Exactly. Zoey will feel hurt that G-Dragon answered you and not her. She will get really jealous."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ3aJbor3L
Mike did have a point. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6WfFkbvdz
Telling Zoey was going to be like suicide. She was going to be hurt and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpaoRgeUB5
we first had to clear things up with GD and I.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroZvDJqujC
"You're right," I said. "No one should say anything."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaILg3l68P
"Agreed," said the rest as they nodded their heads.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDakZELJzfU
We waited for the others1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJXckHKgDd
in the studio. TOP and Daesung came in a few minutes later. We told 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUufAprqWX8
them about G-Dragon's recent behaviour. But we didn't tell them about 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxjauWBa6P
the supposed love triangle.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQDHfUHCkb
"These guys are taking 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QZsKSNGkE
forever to get here," I said as I went over to the window to check at 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVNoip4Y7k
the parking lot. It was now close to three in the afternoon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrwPrjZttL
"I told you to try and call him again," said Lee.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Gq8ntF8o
"It's best we call the others first," Seungri said as he pulled out his phone. "I'll call Taeyang."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F5jDhpKIA
"Please do," I said as I sat back down on the couch.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAtX8VwwKD
"Don't stress yourself,"said TOP who sat beside me and placed his hand on my shoulder for comfort. "They should be back by now."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvDn19XoqG
"Tae, where are you?" Seungri asked. "We've been worried sick. Did you find GD?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwN7ApZ1CG
We paused for a while as we looked at Seungri, waiting for what's to come.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfgyBwCcry
"What? He isn't at the apartment?" Seungri asked looking surprised.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7De8J0vWKv
That sent a different atmosphere around the room. I felt my face drain of colour as I started to think of the worst.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YoL90hphE
"Tell them to come back," I said to Seungri. I held my forehead. This can't be happening right now.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyEGyjxRZz
"I told you to call GD,"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGw10J6BBh
said Lee after Seungri cut the call. "They haven't found him and the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6sVLkkEOj
day will end without us knowing where he is."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKcYIKuqcw
"Don't blame me for this," I said. "This is not entirely my fault."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWliEzwyNEo
"Just call him," said Daesung. "He answered you the first time. He would likely answer again."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d129xuL0F
"Fine," I took out my phone and dialled G-Dragon's number. I put the phone to my ear.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1X8QtEjGV
This time, G-Dragon didn't delay to answer like last time. After three rings, he picked up.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbXkHtduzf
"GD, where are you?" I asked. Everyone's ears perked up to listen.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ6ocYDYLi
"Why?" He sounded normal. Maybe he was sober.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6IDzIZuHk
"We're so worried about you. We need to know where you are."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8fVmWhnxu
"Don't worry about me. And tell the others that I'm fine."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizdn8kDqNI
"Then come here at YG. We're worried sick."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTXMqsadeJ
"Aren't you more worried about me?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AsHKhnkfQ
That question moved me. I was worried. Dead worried. I needed him back here safe and sound. We all did.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAybiQDYDrG
"Yes, I am," I said. "I'm really worried. Why don't you come here and talk."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ8PMVvdiR
For a moment, he didn't say anything. All I got was the static silence from the phone.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31BZgn59XB
"Hello? Are you there?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbMmBBsIDx
"Ya. I'm here."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFXhu8c9yc
"You will come, right?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaPSDrnqic
"I guess I should."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTQQ9BrZEJ
"Yes, please do."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yRY4d0LCM
"I'll be there in a few minutes."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWsy5idMHH
"Okay."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPuinsEzpY
I cut the line. All this1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct1OTl3plW
was just heartbreaking. I couldn't help but feel all this was my fault.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DJoS0dIhE
He was hurting and even as we talked on the phone, I could tell. I was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdnRlQconQ
still stunned that he was talking to me and calmly too.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA914zaabz
"He'll be here," I announced.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJIBLKeJiT
"Thank goodness," said Daniel as he stared up at the ceiling sighing in relief.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNSC5m6K5X
"You should have done this earlier," said Lee. "He clearly listens to you."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFO5PYwuOK
I rolled my eyes. There was no need to remind me. He might have listened to me now, but I wouldn't expect him to do so later on.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L495Eg6lC
Ten minutes later, Taeyang and the others came in the studio.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZizoykicK
"Any news?" Zoey asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMpf850vLq
"He will be arriving shortly," said Mike.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6E8FZESD8
"You talked to him?" Taeyang asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi1WudgiBa
"No, Sam did," TOP answered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Pmb98y41
Zoey, Christine and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPTlEEhCPs
Taeyang looked at me as though I was an alien. I wanted to slap my face.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT21BuGX8D
I should have warned the others not to say anything.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUARj6GsPl
"You talked to him? Is he okay?" Zoey asked in a rush.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZenqv9G8Yd
"Chill, Zoey," I said as I stood up and walked up to her. "He's fine. He told me he will be arriving soon."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8wARrsMhg
"That's good news," said Christine.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgslAOexYmK
"Are you sure?" Zoey asked me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsS7wdBw0f
"Don't worry, I'm sure he is coming. He gave me his word," I said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGdNcEABqJ
Zoey hugged me and I patted her on the back for comfort. It looks like she cared more about G-Dragon than the rest of us did.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cDqKuFVwe
"I'm just glad you 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVN3qn2v5v
called and he picked up," said Zoey after she broke away from me. "Had 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn2FLyr6oN
you been trying to reach him after you called the first time?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPNNeTtXeB
Before I could answer, Mike said, "we tried calling him a few times before he finally picked up."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1s6JhbcnD
My heart settled. I thought he would tell her the truth. Looks like he wasn't that silly enough to provoke her right now.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ycQOjdOb
"Did he tell you where he went?" Taeyang asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fzl7B0Nth
"No," I replied. "He just told me he was fine and that you all shouldn't worry. I asked him to come here and he agreed."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD0lpuHWZm
"He is going to get a scolding from me," said Zoey, folding her arms.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhshZNb4ES
"And she is back," I heard Daniel mutter and Mike who sat beside him was snickering.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHHIdXBkxM
"Just sit down, please," I said trying to calm my best friend. "All that matters is that he is fine and he will be here."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnV87ry6ZA
Zoey listened to me and sat down. Taeyang and Christine joined her. Before I could sit down, Lee stood up and walked up to me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrTjCFicaa
"Can we talk?" Lee asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy7DgyfDhz
"Huh? Why?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvyzlacYW3
"Come on," said Lee, as she held my arm. "I want to talk to you about what happened during the interview. Excuse us, guys."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfx1PghVs2
Lee was still holding on1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbnFqcGmdx
to my arm as we both left the room and we were in the hall. We went 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHH36ECDWC
into another studio room which was empty, away from the others.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQSAzr3l9H
"Why did you bring me 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Ejwwp0MI
here?" I asked as I turned to Lee who closed the door behind her. I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefmIc3b1JB
knewall this wasn't about the interview.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3y9Lccz9l
"It's G-Dragon," Lee answered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU29E0zyhZ
She didn't hesitate to say it and she sounded serious. What would she probably want to talk to me about him now?1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l7Ejmunee
"What's the matter with him?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lnYQrpKUM
"I'm worried about 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsUwHMumHi
what's going to happen when G-Dragon comes here and tells everyone why 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qWEoDQ3fa
he did this and why he is still mad at you."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MxX3cV8m8
"You're scared he might possibly tell Zoey that he likes me?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxM8iOCC7y
Lee nodded. I sighed andclosed my eyes. I knew she was right and this might just bring in a horrible argument amongst ourselves.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WvJnbEsDz
"And what do you want me to do?" I asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83MlI5185h
"Talk to G-Dragon yourself and solve this once and for all."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgpCOjsVC0
"How? Now that everyone knows, they would want to know what's really going on."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi1yVWRhg3
"I have myself to blame 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEFrMx16H8
for saying all that yesterday. But right now, you guys have a song to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEJeUvUtQ5
work on and when things get messy, you know what might happen. And you 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgfWUZZjUm
don't want your managers finding out about this."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5zGloxgnv
I had to admit that Lee 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIQyi4PkhE
was right. But what was I going to do now? I just couldn't tell the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePi4ybh2JO
others a lie. I had lied too much already and I wasn't ready to do so 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcsa6nrWmx
again.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJd80jbSHp
I looked on at Lee and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee3vwVf0SG
Icould tell she was feeling bad about telling everyone yesterday that GD1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkX7NICMAf
and I weren't on good terms. But I couldn't blame her for it.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QwmZuKTig
"What I'm I going to do?" I asked as I held my forehead feeling stressed out. "I don't know how I'm going to tell these guys."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG73CYnxalf
"I don't know," said Lee. "Maybe you should find a way to talk to GD alone."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8eStiq7Ip
"You're right," I said. "But he should be here by now."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Mn845ZTr
I quickly pushed myself 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7XkztpIyE
past Lee, reached for the door and found myself in the hall. Just as I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF22krHqTDc
was heading towards the elevator, the doors flew open. And as though I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaD99lcpUV
knew he was coming, G-Dragon stepped out.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNVSbOMRnM
I breathed out a sigh of1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tRQxfZslm
relief. He was okay. Thank goodness. He didn't look drunk either or was1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzT6D1XLdS
he? It didn't matter. I caught up with him just in time.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XAcFdyEP3
"There you're," I said as I got closer. "Thank goodness you're okay."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPZ765Yt0X
He didn't say anything 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwQRJdULHN
as he looked at me. His deep dark eyes were trying to find its way to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D9U5x3pZh
mine but I was avoiding them. I didn't want to look him in the eye and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvlHrwJwmA
see how he felt. I didn't want to lose focus with what I was about to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPIrwEVAKq
say.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9L5KzNwCa
"You were worried about me," he said, his voice with almost no emotion.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf86MjcfG5b
"Of course I was worried. And everyone else too."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhELj6FUry
"You of all people should have been the least worried."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkhlswRXDo
That was cold. I looked him directly in the eye. He was hurting alright. And he was hurting me too.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosV056VLF1
"I don't care what you think, Kwon Ji Yong," I said. I was kind of surprised that I had called him by his real name.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpoqcPPWEC
"Excuse me?" G-Dragon raised an eyebrow.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZcP8HkKQ9
"You heard me." I took a1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFzqUC3kSv
step towards him. "I don't care what you think of me anymore. I'm tired1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAMh78gwo3
of this crap. It's time we laid the cards on the table once and for 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTeGD9Gcst
all."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlZ7otDzSl
G-Dragon shrugged. "What?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMKyrhq3Mh
"I want to know what issue you have with me. In fact, I don't want to know, I need to know."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJUrtZboZy
"Aren't you just acting delirious?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLtMzyLz8U
"How I wish I was," I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOkEupCWYK
took another step forward. "But even from miles away I could tell you 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG2salP3r0
hate me for some reason and I want to know why."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfs6soyewA
"Now you're just crazy."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs4v3BW00n
"Crazy to know the truth? Yes, I am."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP63g2aokO
He didn't say anything. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9GvDvTSOq
He just looked at me still with no emotion. That irritated me a lot and I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzHdsCxW2S
felt like shaking him to get the truth out of his mouth.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIclzSrGkII
"I thought I was going to explain that in front of everyone," said G-Dragon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoV34DAuWI
"And how am I so sure you aren't going to tell a lie?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxarPFsUHoq
He didn't answer and I knew I had him.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c7cKfC2t4
"I don't want to involve the others with something personal. It's going to affect them. Especially Zoey."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs4GZfwlS0
G-Dragon looked surprised. I bet he didn't expect me to know about him and Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexbBaDXrGN
"I know you wouldn't like to hurt Zoey, at all," I continued. "That's why you and I need to resolve this issue now."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUv2Ar8Pr4
"What issue?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d1mi2VJuA
I shrugged. "I don't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjFGwJWKmb
know. You tell me. I know it's not about what happened after the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3AYUc8Qif
Caribbean Bay incident when I suggested that we should all participate 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoI5rvETZv
in writing the lyrics for the song, it's something else. And you have 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTC8n2YRDs
been giving me a hell of an attitude because of it."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA22HWIbLFX
"Nothing is wrong, Sam."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYogUaMTs1u
"I'll believe you when I stop seeing the hurt in your eyes."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyRXfL6Gem
G-Dragon took one step 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M0AEgjRY5
closer to me and that left a small gap between us. I held my breath for a1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1w1AfczZl
second. That was sudden and I tried to keep my composure. Looking at 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuUZ9kTYaw
him made me weak in the knees and I felt like at any moment, I would 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5IMtbQRAf
fall to the ground.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx64BJ3nFFo
I was so caught up in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HlcoN8fBF
his eyes. And with him so close, I couldn't break away from his spell. I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChPmvkc0hl
hated him for this. I hated him for a lot of other things too. How he 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ371C3fhqX
made me feel like all I wanted was to be in his arms.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rqQxe1qvG
I had been locking all these feelings I had for him for the sake of so many things. For the group, for my career. For Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAug7vLLGdp
I wanted to push him 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqVYyQAhAB
away. I didn't want to him so close to me. His manly cologne filled with1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs84R9y1Cp
rich spices intoxicated me and I just wanted to breathe all of him in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xayy5pb8U
me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRmSCtzQSg
He continued to look at 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs2rWaIUe2
me and at that moment time had stopped. Everything around me seem to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmUHBKUX2m
disappear and it was just only me and him left alone in the world.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAm9srnS8I
"Would you be able to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xLDi1MZZy
take away the pain? My pain?" he asked as he came closer to whisper in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwWYSpkQoM
my ear and his deep husky voice made my heart beat faster and I felt 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8sRUn4Kd8
light headed.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaydt3KcCJ
I didn't say anything. I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy5iT2gsbo
couldn't say anything. He had me under his spell and he knew it as his 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mm6zUeOPd
lips brushed against my cheek leaving behind electric sparks, making his1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyKsatKFPR
way towards my lips.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXMZHKAFVI
I felt his hand on my 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8bOleFmG3
waist and he pulled me closer to him. Our bodies touched and his touch 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW0W24ao84
on my waist sent chills down my spine. His lips were now so close to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHlJFazAoc
mine. Any wrong move and I would kiss him. I tried to get myself under 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjps7rIEGUX
control, but I couldn't. I was caught in his web and I was too light 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLNUo3ZKNP
headed to break away.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8FEnSzHTI
"Only you, my little kitty," he said as he looked at me with those dreamy eyes of his, "can take this pain away."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUkhe0ZpS8
I closer my eyes ready 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprVLC4c2UL
to receive his lips. I wanted to kiss him so badly. I couldn't help it. I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G4YzwZUTV
just wanted him to get on with it. I was so thrilled to ride the road 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TjbtGuasH
of ecstasy.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dw9UwwgJ1
Then a wave of dizziness hit me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9meQIJnf66
"No."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5YROV7qPh
I took a step back and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU43u7SNmpD
my head was pounding like crazy. What just happened? For a moment, I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSmgwooPCp
didn't recognise where I was and the floor beneath me was spinning. What1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzleSLk2sS
was happening to me?1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xg6D2pPwI
"Sam, are you okay?" I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaYCOLcTG0
heard G-Dragon's voice, it felt like I could hear his voice from a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIpCeqctzx
distance, but he was standing right next to me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtZCpXLDRA
I looked at the floor 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlA3W2effD
and felt like I was going to puke all over. I bended over trying to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y9YADYXaN
breathe and held my knees to support myself.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX9jydyFS6
"Sam," came Lee's voice behind me. "Are you okay?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOGWckrWmW
I was soon regaining my bearings and I was able to steady myself. I took in long deep breaths, slowly at a time.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTnEuZVHXI
"Hey, what's happening here?" I heard the door of the studio room open and Zoey's voice.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGY6TeopLE
I straightened myself up1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoAGxU3nzS
and I realised that G-Dragon was right behind me for support. His hand 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEOnmpc7IB
was on my back the the whole time and I hadn't even noticed. Lee was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6quZawCud
already there, looking at me with concern.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lpXrRX3nd
"I'm fine," I said. I was feeling a lot better now. "I was just feeling nauseous."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MTVVWdtaz
"I hope you aren't sick," said Zoey as she approached us.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4xpFw93rD
"No, Zoey, I'm fine, don't worry."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S1D0a7BC5
"Come on, we better go inside," said G-Dragon, his hand still on my back. "You look really pale."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfQwEUdhJk
I nodded. I couldn't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUCwtJmRKQ
help but realise that all of this was just weird. How had I become so 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhINo7cQSs
sick all of the sudden? Did I need to go for a check up just to be sure 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudEwxcdm6F
that I was alright? I don't know.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVUJdcTgIS
When I came into the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskIrwNXI1p
room, I was soon surrounded by the others asking questions all at the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3fOmp4ud4
same time if I was alright. Their random questions almost made me dizzy 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopK1FOtVbP
again.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa7IgE7xbC
"Guys, make room or else she is going to faint," said Lee, trying to move people aside as I came in futher into the room.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF33JsO9t2Z
"People, I'm fine," I said as G-Dragon still followed behind me to the couch. "You don't have to worry about me."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyWjJIsITc
"Are you okay?" TOP asked. "What happened to you?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2F8CYdpQd
"Nothing, I just felt dizzy," I answered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNetaAirFj
"Are you sure? You don't need a doctor?" Taeyang asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRoH4nwl6t
"Believe me, I'm okay," I managed to put up a smile.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJKyvi5aR3
"Well, at least the person we wanted to see is here," said Zoey, her hands on her hips as she looked at G-Dragon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90M6OvN1VE
"Ya, we were worried sick about you," said Seungri.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE21u2SQyq
I quickly sat down on 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlCpJmRCZW
the couch, not ready for what's to come next. I wasn't in the mood to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIp7BHhGP3
start arguing with G-Dragon. I would let the others handle him.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5TVBNDNPB
"Where did you go? Why weren't you picking up my calls?" Zoey stood right in front of G-Dragon like an angry girlfriend.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmzpL4c0cR
"I was around," said G-Dragon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3nTp4sFam
"Around where? Be more specific!"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPV4Hfeb3u
"Zoey, chill," said Lee. "You're angry and you're not okay."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1iTHad2xD
"I was sick and worried about him. We all were."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi38ackbKOk
Well, not me. That's according to G-Dragon of course. I looked away remembering those words and they still stung like hell.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNWTnbkFhI
"I was around town, just going here and there," said G-Dragon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR9Gwnf5yE
"You have a lot of 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI0BFOZNUg
explaining to do," said Daesung. "But now, we have other things to look 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdUBCKUDbB
at. Why you and Sam are arguing again."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZdSsQD3YJ
I looked at Daesung and I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGczE35sX93
would've told him that we weren't necessarily arguing. I kept my mouth 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY01Fvf03w
shut. I felt more of the victim and it was best to keep quiet on my 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvfhC9xWZH
part. It was then that I remembered what Lee told me when we were in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoD50e4Rct
theother room.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0neeccH4dX
I looked up at the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmMpWDB43R
others and they looked like they were all about to gang up on G-Dragon 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiLdzrBw5e
when all they wanted was an explanation from him. All of this was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jHmvacLK3
frightening.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobQAKcz6jW
I knew he was going to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgIfMFE0zQ
tell them a lie. I wouldn't blame him. Besides, this only had to do with1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TAjbvJWq6
me and him. No one else. If he had to tell them, something told me they1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfsqSai0UN
wouldn't even believe him.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHcD7UKM4A
I looked at Lee who 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCmUiA9THx
stood behind the others. She had been looking at me the whole time 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb3FLw3fnb
trying to get my attention. She had a warning look in her eye, telling 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwGHmwmgb6
me to do something.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSD54NFa5k
But what was I supposed 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQIftDTWYT
to do? All this was just getting more complicated and I feared I might 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPyGnPMd7J
just make it as worse as it already was.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwclQLXl2oJ
"If you want to know, then fine," said G-Dragon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlcHud4qpr
I looked up at him. Oh 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVDWIVV8q8
no. Was he really going to tell them the truth? Right now, I couldn't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpceXImjG96
even tell for sure. I wanted to know the truth for myself and not 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN07hAKRZOa
involve anyone else.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRNq0TuCec
What if in the attempt 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCatP1apHA
to tell truth he ends up hurting Zoey? I still wasn't sure why he was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zYMvXLfa5
giving me the attitude, but if all this was going to hurt everyone in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAhan39NKJ
the end, I better do something. And now.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTogynAZHTB
"All of this was nothing but a misunderstanding."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1oYB4d8Ea
Everyone turned to me now. I stood up from her couch. Thank goodness I wasn't feeling dizzy anymore.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDstfqfCSSc
"What?" Christine asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce9L4o9PlJ
"All of this was nothing1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPzyQ0Nho8
but a misunderstanding," I repeated. "We talked about it in the hall 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffdn2INurW
when he came and you don't need to worry anymore."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGABRmWwfE
Everyone looked at me now and I could tell they were as confused as ever. I had to sound more convincing. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjRW9qv2Pl
I put up a smile and said, "you guys were taking this all too seriously 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0gjappBLg
for no good reason at all. Lee made everything sound really serious when1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAQS4EX4zy
she told you yesterday."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ts80rXrG
"Wait, so what was the argument all about?" Mike asked, looking confused.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmtPWyBOX7
"Well, G-Dragon and I had gone somewhere on Sunday, to get smoothies." I looked at G-Dragon 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2piQfY0xL
and he at me. "We were joking around until I joked about something 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38mPrSgJGD
personal.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEKWlPT7zg
He was upset and though he was acting like he didn't mind, he was still1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXjVqzppEI
giving me an attitude. I told Lee about it and that's why she said all 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWouHYMBcr
that yesterday."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQSiNQisF9
Lee wiped her brow and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BRf6hMtoF
looked relieved. I started to feel that way myself. I could feel the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xGtWQal8q
tension from G-Dragon slowly start to disappear. I turned to look at 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg5iWnXQwp
him.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXqXaXUcOL
"I'm still really sorry, GD," I said. "I shouldn't have said all that."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wg4er2EoI
I shouldn't have done 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl514L2eLb
what I did for you to hate me. That'swhat was in my heart the whole 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRQlcybt61
time. I wanted to say it out loud so that he should know. But that's 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1zONqmOYP
just going to raise everyone's suspicion.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo72Y5bE8d
G-Dragon continued to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKENJnXbxI
look at me, and in his eyes, he knew exactly what I meant. I was hoping 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuXDw5IyoF
he would forgive me but I was wasn't raising that thought too high.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfdLLREWeM
He nodded his head and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDzBarFYej
didn't say a word. That meant he still hadn't forgiven me for something I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zc9JdnKhA
didn't know I had done. Well, I might have an idea why but I had to be 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCyIoLP67c
sure from him.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9ArVK1d56
"Oh, thank goodness," said Christine and Seungri at the same time.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9fk1KRL5Y
"I thought it was something so serious," said Daniel. "I was expecting a juicy story. Thanks for nothing."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcgLfkZZAk
I bet the juicy story might be about G-Dragon liking me. My brothers were such a menace sometimes.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvwNsOYofS
"Don't blame me for this," I said as I raised my hands in surrender.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByFGxswW5I
"It's my fault," said Lee. "Sorry, guys."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeYaU42MKm
"We would've been doing other things by now if it wasn't for this," said Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0tWvoeZYq
"And by other things, you mean, Hyo-rin," I said with a smirk and Taeyang confirmed it with a smile.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CQPcKIQGO
"Well, now that the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDljrdi7ZCp
drama is over," said Zoey, as she hooked her arm around G-Dragon's 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnqlQ8z9Qg
elbow. "Why don't we do something fun? The day is almost over, you 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7zLTa1CxJ
know?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6smV9AbGQ
"I agree," said Daesung.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XpAjKfw2B
Everyone else seemed to agree to go out and have fun. Lee and I hadn't say a word.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HcbjcOkZD
"Aren't you coming along, sis?" Mike asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG0jgQ82eP
"Arrh..." I thought for a while. Should I go? "No, you guys go ahead and have fun."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14jl4uS46Y
"No! Sam, stop being a party pooper for once in your life," said Zoey as she stomped her foot on the ground.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbonFff5pmd
"Guys, I need to rest. I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZAQnGd4Et
must have felt dizzy because I still didn't get enough sleep after 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkN2CBcCs4
finishing up the lyrics. And you guys came with all those presents the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uRDSXwcBM
other day that made me restless. The interview made me all the more 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjcV8PioOG
tired."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKhHb8S6k4
"Ya, true," said TOP. "I can see the bags under your eyes."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xxgAsiAKg
I knew he was just joking around and I smiled. I tried not to take notice of G-Dragon's sharp gaze at me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLK8FzJE7d
"Fine, we will see you later back at the hotel to come check on you," said Daesung.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s32OwOHQq
"Okay, then let's go have some fun then," said Seungri.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjmklrCnhL
One by one, the others 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRrTeU2WyN
started to leave the room. Seungri with my brothers and Christine went 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83py86eA7B
out first. Taeyang and TOP also left soon after. That left the two love 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFRAJ3pG89
birds with Lee and I.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmRAWrOkrK
"Make sure you get enough rest, okay?" Zoey said as though she was giving me instructions. "We still need you for tomorrow."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHjazlxnJI
"Of course I will," I said. "You guys go have as much fun as possible."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bmiPNzuVm
"We certainly will," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUWlkj2Jkn
"Come on," said Zoey tugging G-Dragon along with her.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVpzdxtRyF
When they had left and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdMKENZn7G
closed the door behind them, I waited for thirty seconds to pass until I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwOiJRVBkz
dropped myself backwards onto the couch as I closed my eyes. I sighed 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv50tRfmp5
in relief as I slumped myself on the couch.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbHhyxvHUu
"Phew! That was close," 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1wjfc3u09
said Lee as she rushed to the window. She was obviously trying to see 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgLUFqFV0P
the others down at the parking lot.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLY6iZ5d0Q
"I've never lied like that in my entire life," I said as I looked at Lee. "And not like that in one day."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6AEzIAXNr
"But it's a good thing you did," said Lee, still looking out the window. "Okay, they are leaving."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhpAjmTMcy
"All this lying has got me hungry," I said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoL3QLApO1
"Why don't we go back to the hotel and order something nice for ourselves."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlxmAK2zJR
"Sounds like a good idea. We should watch some k-drama too."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU70hoPgsw4
"That's exactly what I thought. Let's go."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iW94mqjwi
"Yes, please."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFsq7y7hWn
I quickly got up from 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoAoyELZBz
the couch and I left with Lee. I couldn't have felt more relieved to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlvXR4zK6i
have left the studio. I was feeling too awkward not after what happened.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgpK5iI0wm
When we got to the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ37WoAyL7y
hotel, the first thing I did was kick off my shoes and I went in the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQUAYHM4SF
lounge with Lee. She was already checking for k-drama series on the TV 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiv3z5owxa
and I sat on the couch.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFWD3y0AE5
"What happened to you when you were dizzy in the hallway?" Lee asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4afQo2eIf1
"I was having my usual conversation with GD and it didn't end well," I replied.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjz2LuG8cE
Lee turned away from the TV and looked at me. "Give me details."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQmacgMu9X
I shrugged as I read her eyes. "Something tells me you already know what happened."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC7wvCTJSg
"Well, hearing you say it was going to be music to my ears," said Lee with a grin.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gLbusDAUl
"Pfft, ya right."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE6g8zphU8
"Why didn't you let him kiss you, huh?" Lee asked as she sat down beside me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDShXb055ND
"I just couldn't let him, Lee," I said as I thought of what happened. "It wasn't going to feel right."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVia38wijUh
"Did you fake the illness then?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ0hw0OVoM
"No, at least that was one thing I couldn't lie about today."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAiv6MHe5X
"Then what happened?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPSqWv6QK2
"Guilt. That's what happened."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlbcGnGwuM
Lee looked confused for a moment but she quickly understood.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnRf3ehIvM
"Looks like your body also has a conscious," said Lee. "How righteous of you."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mc9F4pZB3
"Don't make fun of me, Lee. I just couldn't hurt Zoey. Not in this way."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd56q4pbsQF
"But didn't you want to kiss him?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0mOevjcca
"Well, I did. But I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvleYfb7mip
don't know what happened. I was so caught up in the moment I had no 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5WU0HxaiU
control of my own body. Then guilt came in the worst possible way and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6s4yjEYsI
prevented me from doing something I could regret doing afterwards."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMAerdZseI
"Well, it came at the right time. I'm just glad no one saw that."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98xeDjxlYP
"We would be having an entirely different conversation right now."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2dFBD8ib6
"True, let me go and take my shoes off."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAO0ETnDjf
"I will let room service bring us some snacks while we enjoy our series," I stood up and went for the land line.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2Nv24pAzD
"You do that."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9CGqXmuR3
As Lee left for her 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfaSbdMJEo
room, my phone beeped just as I was about to pick up the land line. I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQneiVrJIp
fetched for my phone in the pocket. I had a message from G-Dragon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMaMxC6BVr
"I've to hand it to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpHVr9OYAB
you, not only did you save my neck, you also prevented World War Three 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQePHFgPUNf
from breaking loose. I never knew you would be a liar. And a good one. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KVdbP7SDl
You're right, you and I need to talk without involving anyone else."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv8NT9s4rv
I frowned. He didn't even say thank you. So much for saving him. I decided not to reply. I had no words.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTM1o0CzTr
I did agree that he was right about one thing. I was a liar. A big fat one.
