I couldn't keep my mouth closed, and my eyes were filled with wonder as I looked out the window. The car we were in drove through the streets of Seoul with the sun beginning to set in the west and the street lights starting to brighten the streets. The city is just as beautiful as I imagined it. The beautiful skyscrapers, bright TV bulletins, and neon lights almost felt like home in L.A. or New York. But the signs and words on billboards made it quite clear that we're in South Korea now.980Please respect copyright.PENANACRrtYOdMh6
980Please respect copyright.PENANAI7ZLofnLrg
"Wow, this place looks awesome," said Daniel, who sat beside me and was also looking out of the window.980Please respect copyright.PENANAXn3qDBmvVQ
980Please respect copyright.PENANANIwNTPTKad
"I know, right? It's like a dream come true that we're here," said Christine, who sat behind me.980Please respect copyright.PENANAQq0mU4yHsT
980Please respect copyright.PENANACAwRpk7vUs
"OMG, is that an ancient palace?" I asked when I saw what looked like one from afar. Before coming here, I made sure to Google some wonderful sites I would like to visit. I had a huge interest in ancient palaces.980Please respect copyright.PENANAQfPBSBfeCZ
980Please respect copyright.PENANAtudemrsvo4
"It is," said Collins. "Beautiful, isn't it?"980Please respect copyright.PENANATxSNr3oYPZ
980Please respect copyright.PENANA0mIRG8c4jv
"It sure is," I said with a smile as we quickly lost sight of it.980Please respect copyright.PENANAJt2cGdfpd9
980Please respect copyright.PENANA7US2ow7el8
We continued to follow the car ahead and soon found ourselves at a beautiful hotel: the Seoul Hotel. Before we could get out of the car, bright, flashing lights came into view through the windows. The paparazzi. It looks like news travels fast around here too. These people always made me feel uncomfortable.980Please respect copyright.PENANAEWppQIYlYs
980Please respect copyright.PENANALRIxp5FuYk
When the doors of the car flew open, Collins and Lee stepped out first. Mike, Zoey, and Christine excitedly followed. If there's one thing they like about being famous, it's the bright lights and attention. Even though we've been in the spotlight for almost two years, I'm still not used to it, especially dealing with the paparazzi and reporters. The attention I get from my fans is more than enough.980Please respect copyright.PENANAHETRGZQePP
980Please respect copyright.PENANAXkyB3WjPxI
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Daniel asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.980Please respect copyright.PENANAyenEhbUvHi
980Please respect copyright.PENANAHQZvf5ZNpm
"Yeah, I am," I said, trying to pull myself together.980Please respect copyright.PENANApGn7cNW32c
980Please respect copyright.PENANApzcTRL5zvX
"I know you've never liked this, but The Toxins aren't The Toxins without you," he said, giving me an encouraging smile.980Please respect copyright.PENANA52x58luxmB
980Please respect copyright.PENANASWqZ7KYlcm
"It's going to take years for me to get over this."980Please respect copyright.PENANAWvMDiSvJUH
980Please respect copyright.PENANAWmTaT3Dnyr
"Yeah, I know. Come on, we have to go."980Please respect copyright.PENANAqtWqpEz2aQ
980Please respect copyright.PENANAy7lRvqyZov
Daniel got out of the car, leaving me all alone. I take a deep breath, getting myself ready to step out. Before I could even get the chance, a hand appeared before me. G-Dragon is standing outside the car with his hand stretched out for me to hold on to. For the moment, I can't stop staring at him. I looked at his hand, then back. I don't know what to do, and I couldn't help but blush.980Please respect copyright.PENANAyk1eIFeGEm
980Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ3POapoQ5
"Come on, we're all waiting for you," he said with a smile. "Take my hand."980Please respect copyright.PENANAADyrb1STEc
980Please respect copyright.PENANAM0dkBokn7B
I continued to look at him, contemplating what to do next. I finally took his hand, and he delicately held mine, slowly leading me out of the car.980Please respect copyright.PENANA9JJJ8ZjCIJ
980Please respect copyright.PENANAgpL1C6mpoq
The flashing lights of the cameras turned on me immediately after I put my foot out. When I fully stepped out, G-Dragon stood beside me with his hand still wrapped around mine. The cameramen and reporters were calling out to me to grab my attention. This is the part where I always try to get over my irritation and smile.980Please respect copyright.PENANAvFG54YvKoE
980Please respect copyright.PENANA03kI5Iwx76
G-Dragon led me down the aisle that led to the glass doors of the hotel. The rest of The Toxins and BIGBANG were already ahead, getting their pictures taken, but soon most of the media's attention turned to G-Dragon and me. They kept on calling out to us, and we paused to have our picture taken together. I am already losing my nerve, and all this made my body go stiff.980Please respect copyright.PENANA79QomLW6o2
980Please respect copyright.PENANAZOkvoQGU8T
"Woah, relax, B.K." said G-Dragon as he smiled for the camera. "You don't seem too comfortable."980Please respect copyright.PENANAuOUj3gtP2M
980Please respect copyright.PENANADZyif4Jf90
I blush. It looks like he read my body language. Well, this is embarrassing.980Please respect copyright.PENANAmVeUuhHLIm
980Please respect copyright.PENANA5z6C61We3A
"I don't like getting all the attention," I told him as I spoke in his ear.980Please respect copyright.PENANAC8m94lO2Fj
980Please respect copyright.PENANAWNnotieo86
"You deserve it." He said this while he looked at me. "Just like the whole world has their attention on you, you have mine too."980Please respect copyright.PENANAlC5ytlqZUo
980Please respect copyright.PENANAhuSpwIXgxN
Is he flirting with me? I can't tell since I can't think straight with all that's going on around us. I hadn't noticed that we were so close and that he was still holding my hand. Likewise, I wanted to pull away, but that would only look rude in front of everyone. It would also be a juicy scene for the media to show and tell.980Please respect copyright.PENANAkxOzP9FvVN
980Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2J7e1Ntkl
He gave me that irresistible smile, and I felt like melting. He left me utterly speechless.980Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ulk88afMY
980Please respect copyright.PENANAmQOH7OwKbr
"Come, let's join the others," he said, and we continued to walk hand in hand down the aisle.980Please respect copyright.PENANA6h831u6dwL
980Please respect copyright.PENANALTgAw3OLqK
When we got to them, we all took several group photos together. Afterwards, we went through the doors of the hotel. The media remained outside as the security guards barricaded the doors. It's always a relief to get away from those vultures.980Please respect copyright.PENANAPluMfEgRl4
980Please respect copyright.PENANAcokX0QQZiG
"I think you can let go of my hand now," I said as I turned to face G-Dragon.980Please respect copyright.PENANAHMNXc7bHHC
980Please respect copyright.PENANAckga1vaS8D
"I let go of your hand, or you let go of mine?" he asked.980Please respect copyright.PENANAfVvbGl9abM
980Please respect copyright.PENANAaeGsqQIprd
I got confused, and the smirk on his face almost made me lose my mind. I want to look down at our hands, but that would only make things even more awkward. He's doing this just to torture me.980Please respect copyright.PENANA0mMJx8Ta6v
980Please respect copyright.PENANA3lexjSdnni
I quickly slipped my hand away from his and folded my arms. He smiles and walks away, slightly brushing my shoulder with his, intentionally. I let out a sigh of relief when he left to join the others. Is it just me, or did it feel so hot in the lobby that I couldn't even breathe?980Please respect copyright.PENANAHzZuLBYaSz
980Please respect copyright.PENANA5ULyJRKucZ
Collins, Lee, and Yang Hyun-suk were by the reception desk, checking if our rooms were ready. The Toxins were huddled up with BIGBANG, talking and laughing about who knows what. They all seem to be getting along just fine. When I look around, I notice that the guards inside the lobby have made a circle around us. People were coming from the elevators, and others using the stairs coming into the lobby had their eyes on us. Some even had their phones out, taking pictures and videos. A small group of teenage girls were excited upon seeing The Toxins and BIGBANG together.980Please respect copyright.PENANAqjAEvFNQHm
980Please respect copyright.PENANAhXNgCWPLwi
"I see that Ji Yong is troubling you," said Taeyang as he came over, breaking away from the others.980Please respect copyright.PENANAkdueUWy50K
980Please respect copyright.PENANAh96hlPFWz6
"Well, not really," I said. "And here I thought Seungri was the devious one."980Please respect copyright.PENANAp7Fxm7Eiv5
980Please respect copyright.PENANAfiXk7Thoiw
"Don't mind him. He does that all the time."980Please respect copyright.PENANAF0wJmb4vY0
980Please respect copyright.PENANAuhwxTwGXfr
"Does he do that just to make any girl fall for him?"980Please respect copyright.PENANAJDO06hfNZ5
980Please respect copyright.PENANAVPf3D8q7sf
"Not really. The thing is, no one ever knows what his real intentions are."980Please respect copyright.PENANAwxtW3DI1eN
980Please respect copyright.PENANAGsBMzFYs8u
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." I smiled.980Please respect copyright.PENANAjF26aeCSKg
980Please respect copyright.PENANAWK2LI5wwe6
"I noticed that the two of you were holding hands earlier. That's going to be all over the news."980Please respect copyright.PENANAAAi6UxbTOo
980Please respect copyright.PENANAAun0xyU3hu
"Yeah, I'm definitely screwed." I playfully hit my head with my hand, laughing nervously. "People would start to think otherwise, huh?"980Please respect copyright.PENANAXhKjl0KXsx
980Please respect copyright.PENANAxbwbJQRdYG
"I don't think people would come to any conclusion. You just met."980Please respect copyright.PENANAq9lAy3Nia5
980Please respect copyright.PENANAl70GRDZ065
"Yeah, I guess so. I worry for no reason."980Please respect copyright.PENANAwM7ImjuKrz
980Please respect copyright.PENANAjzVUjjxu3a
"Don't feel relaxed, though. The media knows how to twist things around."980Please respect copyright.PENANA6PSvU62oim

"I've been there before; it did not go well."980Please respect copyright.PENANAJZCd66FYtB
980Please respect copyright.PENANAlwKdHCCxAF
While Taeyang and I continued talking, we soon heard noises. There seemed to be confusion outside the circle of guards. The next thing I knew, I felt something grab my leg, and when I looked, I gasped.980Please respect copyright.PENANA4M4dR7Gf2m
980Please respect copyright.PENANA2FlZxIYeDA
Holding onto my leg is a beautiful young girl in a lovely white dress. She looked to be three to four years old. And I am captivated by her cuteness.980Please respect copyright.PENANAmz4YQKoH2u
980Please respect copyright.PENANAIHWMuAztPl
"Aww, look who we have here," I said softly. I went down on one knee after the little girl let go of my leg. I gently held her chin up, and she gave me a bright smile. Likewise, I smiled back.980Please respect copyright.PENANAzqaf9oT3fD
980Please respect copyright.PENANApXKlBBZmAw
"She's so cute. What do you think?" I asked Taeyang.980Please respect copyright.PENANAuNbto1Mfw7
980Please respect copyright.PENANABP4bMdAGl7
"She is," he replied. "It seems she likes you."980Please respect copyright.PENANA5nwu8JYM7U
980Please respect copyright.PENANApar8Saur79
I smiled at Taeyang, and I looked back at the little girl. She stretched out her hand to me, and in it was a beautiful white flower, which she held by the stem. I looked at it, then back at the young girl, whose bright smile made my heart flutter.980Please respect copyright.PENANAreBhcksbUj
980Please respect copyright.PENANAwZrl2KRFCj
"Is this for me?" I asked softly.980Please respect copyright.PENANASfCY5fLWJH
980Please respect copyright.PENANAiKJ7fareeb
The little girl nodded, and my smile widened even more. I slowly took the white flower, then carried the little girl in my arms, hugging her.980Please respect copyright.PENANAOFoflySTpI
980Please respect copyright.PENANA5kH58PgFGc
I noticed that all this took everyone's attention, and people were either filming or taking pictures. They still kept their distance because of the guards. I stood up straight with the girl in my arms and ran my hand through her black, silky hair. I start to look around for the girl's parents when I see a woman standing outside the circle, staring at the girl in my arms. It seems like she's the girl's mother because she had a look on her face only a mother could have. The little girl looked on at the same woman, and I made the connection. I make my way over to her.980Please respect copyright.PENANAqYLxZJNmv5
980Please respect copyright.PENANAJdJ11QLVi8
"Sorry for the trouble," the woman said to me when I got closer. "She can really be jumpy sometimes."980Please respect copyright.PENANAdin6PF6Olp
980Please respect copyright.PENANA9GAkO2VZkP
"No, not at all," I said. "You've got a very beautiful daughter."980Please respect copyright.PENANAqLb2Ph76Ar
980Please respect copyright.PENANAXJETx5RxYz
"Thank you," the woman said with a smile.980Please respect copyright.PENANAaIA7l8kbzF
980Please respect copyright.PENANANu5rT9Qnr5
The guards standing between the woman and me made way, and I gave the little girl back to her mother. The girl waved goodbye, and I also did the same. The woman took her daughter away, heading for the elevator. I looked at the flower in my hand and smiled. When I turned around, everybody else in the circle, including the two managers and Lee, was staring at me.980Please respect copyright.PENANA4wa74ODfZ5
980Please respect copyright.PENANATYLBFWxBoV
"What?" I shrug my shoulders.980Please respect copyright.PENANA7YbQuWXKHc
980Please respect copyright.PENANAJYMKo7mRxt
Taeyang looked at me in a way I can't describe. I can't tell if he was amazed at what happened or at me. In any way, he made me blush, and I felt uncomfortable in my own skin.980Please respect copyright.PENANANOLXxbThhR
980Please respect copyright.PENANAxI1w75NsZG
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask him.980Please respect copyright.PENANADySkxtQXGs
980Please respect copyright.PENANA3pucaTUxKx
"Um, nothing," Taeyang said with a smile. "I was only wondering. That little girl really likes you, and you seem to be good with children."980Please respect copyright.PENANAp42FloyQDt
980Please respect copyright.PENANAbH7Q74HpdG
"Or she was just an adorable, cute fan of mine that managed to pass through the guards just to give me a flower."980Please respect copyright.PENANAa9Pbt6VxwL
980Please respect copyright.PENANAvP8dxLLasc
Taeyang laughed, and I blushed even more. I looked the other way so that he wouldn't notice.980Please respect copyright.PENANAcJi7vgVtrH
980Please respect copyright.PENANAMHVObuQRxS
"You don't know how valuable you are, do you?"980Please respect copyright.PENANAWB4G9vkqIt
980Please respect copyright.PENANAjupcPcjy45
I look at him, and my heart begins to race. What did he mean by that? Somehow, I felt like I knew, but I didn't want to acknowledge it. I looked down at my feet, not even willing to look up.980Please respect copyright.PENANA8n4tSdLGSk
980Please respect copyright.PENANAHpUl53hrZQ
I felt Taeyang hold the bottom of my chin with his fingers and slowly lift my face to stare into his kind eyes. For a moment, I got lost in them.980Please respect copyright.PENANAyWrkaeGor9
980Please respect copyright.PENANATQABpTCOCi
"Did I say something wrong?" he asked softly. Damn! His voice was like music to my ears, and I felt so drawn to him. Wake up, Sam, I told myself. I have to snap out of it.980Please respect copyright.PENANAxbV0DpPwkG
980Please respect copyright.PENANAL9mK4qvwrH
"I'm sorry if I did," he continued when I didn't answer. Dang it! That sweet voice moved me again. "But you do know how extraordinary you are, don't you?"980Please respect copyright.PENANA5jK3g1p2nf
980Please respect copyright.PENANAMyNf13lVtX
I swallowed. That's one question I couldn't answer. Luckily, Collins announced that it was time to go up to our rooms. That's a relief. At the moment, I wanted to be as far away from every BIGBANG member as possible.980Please respect copyright.PENANAAGS8fjYABL
980Please respect copyright.PENANA6n57HDZIAm
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey, who had a huge smile on her face as she headed for the elevator. Christine and Daniel followed.980Please respect copyright.PENANApC8n48QQz6
980Please respect copyright.PENANA6yBbGFMXLA
"I better get going," I told Taeyang.980Please respect copyright.PENANA2JRVJxrxla
980Please respect copyright.PENANA5AxKAQM7y3
"See you tomorrow, then," he said. "Maybe then we can get on the dance floor and see who has the best moves."980Please respect copyright.PENANAgd45CT6zU8
980Please respect copyright.PENANApIscqGfT6j
"You're on," said Mike as he walked past us, joining the others in the elevator.980Please respect copyright.PENANAA21fIuzlHs
980Please respect copyright.PENANAVjS6aqFxJZ
"I'll see you tomorrow," I said.980Please respect copyright.PENANAkU0ZWadADV
980Please respect copyright.PENANADm2aicK0VL
"Make sure you dream about me, alright?" came T.O.P.'s voice as he came and whispered right in my ear. I didn't see him coming, and I felt a chill run down my spine at the sound of his husky voice. These guys are driving me crazy.980Please respect copyright.PENANAgfgC6WZeA6
980Please respect copyright.PENANAH3KoBsL3Cw
"See you tomorrow, T.O.P." I turned around to face him as he gave me that bad-boy smile of his.980Please respect copyright.PENANAiAnZmlH8qb
980Please respect copyright.PENANARYAS67OadC
I said goodbye to Daesung and Seungri, who both hugged me in return. G-Dragon came over, and I wanted to roll my eyes at him but surprisingly failed to do so. I'm not ready to put up with him again. I felt like running for my life towards the elevator, but I stood there, waiting for what was to come.980Please respect copyright.PENANA1CSLFCnOVa
980Please respect copyright.PENANAjUmFO0DIti
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, my little black kitty," he said softly. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he said that.980Please respect copyright.PENANAZZXcUqdHVJ
980Please respect copyright.PENANAIpEAb0lZAJ
"What did you-?"980Please respect copyright.PENANAq3cPWYIfOi
980Please respect copyright.PENANAEBVCJV49Tj
Before I could finish my sentence, G-Dragon quickly pecked me on the cheek. I am so stunned that I can't move. I didn't know he would do that, and it felt wrong on so many levels.980Please respect copyright.PENANAdgx6AI0kcH
980Please respect copyright.PENANA6K4uXEMswp
When I gather my composure, I quickly walk away and join the others in the elevator. Before the doors closed, I looked up to see G-Dragon staring at me with that corky smile on his face, and he gave me a wink.980Please respect copyright.PENANAyFDHgK8xj3
980Please respect copyright.PENANAS6qwlqTY7t
***980Please respect copyright.PENANAo3RWqjIIV2
980Please respect copyright.PENANAVeCWuxCFzY
"What just happened out there?" Zoey asked.980Please respect copyright.PENANAWa3uEFC4r4
980Please respect copyright.PENANA2sw4DQwLIa
I threw myself onto the comfortable bed, landing on my back with my eyes closed. I want to forget all that has happened. Furthermore, I feel so tired, and I need to rest, but my mind won't let me. And so is Zoey.980Please respect copyright.PENANAMiHUXV7Hev
980Please respect copyright.PENANAhUAFO4t9T5
"Hello, B.K. I'm talking to you." I felt Zoey come to sit beside me and shake me.980Please respect copyright.PENANAPi6QVFm995
980Please respect copyright.PENANAyOufW94wzb
"May I please rest?" I whined with my eyes still closed. "You know I'm tired."980Please respect copyright.PENANAkADJWow5ep
980Please respect copyright.PENANApElYL7CVSG
"You aren't resting until you tell me what happened down there in the lobby."980Please respect copyright.PENANAILYWQObmV5
980Please respect copyright.PENANAzm4Z1pwAgH
"So many things happened today," I said as I opened my eyes. "I suggest you be more specific."980Please respect copyright.PENANA71DQSf13FF
980Please respect copyright.PENANA5A9A5vzUzA
"Let's start with the time you were walking down the aisle with G-Dragon."980Please respect copyright.PENANA8rmAe1y2WU
980Please respect copyright.PENANApQeEX0L8Di
"What?" I sat up. "Don't tell me you are jealous."980Please respect copyright.PENANAKgXGeCeVy6
980Please respect copyright.PENANAn8XzlwDyIk
"You heard me. Start talking." Zoey looked at me in a way that my mother would whenever I did something wrong.980Please respect copyright.PENANAriDNuhY5KB
980Please respect copyright.PENANAoaededdLll
"You're jealous," mocked Christine, who sat on the other bed opposite Zoey and me.980Please respect copyright.PENANAtUH2ULAxPM
980Please respect copyright.PENANAHIYGzso2sH
"Christine, ssh! Come on, Sam, start talking." Zoey looked serious. That didn't shock me at all.980Please respect copyright.PENANAfYOuerotjD
980Please respect copyright.PENANAdBlXu29Ktd
I shrugged my shoulders. "It was nothing, really. He just helped me out of the car, and we walked down the aisle together."980Please respect copyright.PENANATKDKONM5hY
980Please respect copyright.PENANAogBXhhwcah
"Really? You two were walking down the aisle like newlyweds! And he gave you a goodbye kiss before we left." She sighed. "I wish he gave me one too."980Please respect copyright.PENANAWPVbLvQENH
980Please respect copyright.PENANAJvZ8VbBTwi
"You're overreacting, Zoey." I roll my eyes. "It's not like we'll ever be in a relationship. Apart from being friends, that is."980Please respect copyright.PENANAKCKYxUyOly
980Please respect copyright.PENANAaVoV5sVNqb
"I know," said Christine. "We just met these guys today, and you're already making a mountain out of a molehill."980Please respect copyright.PENANA64mqtMUYjR
980Please respect copyright.PENANA4uKIZMHDdh
"And you think Taeyang wasn't drooling over Sam in the lobby?" Zoey asked. "I thought you liked Tae."980Please respect copyright.PENANAIpIKkVjOvq
980Please respect copyright.PENANAqp561CIB57
"Yeah, but he's already dating someone else, so I'm not worried," said Christine with a smile on her face. "I only like him because I'm a fan. You, on the other hand, are acting like once upon a time, G-Dragon was your boyfriend, and then you two broke up when you just met him face-to-face today."980Please respect copyright.PENANAsia1DoWA2I
980Please respect copyright.PENANAgxc9r3el1V
"I agree," I said. "You are one hell of a drama queen, Zoey. You can have G-Dragon because I'm not interested."980Please respect copyright.PENANAShb5UuCO66
980Please respect copyright.PENANAYUu5erSXuM
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I might have been a little jealous."980Please respect copyright.PENANA9aJEr1lCCz
980Please respect copyright.PENANAZKHIpkjf9y
Zoey gave me puppy-dog eyes so that I could forgive her. I smile and shake my head, but she persistently continues with the look.980Please respect copyright.PENANAKMxli0uMBb
980Please respect copyright.PENANANtZ7QUjruO
"Please stop doing that; you're no longer three." I laughed.980Please respect copyright.PENANAsldWfgvc4Q
980Please respect copyright.PENANALsaLa7WBCs
"Whatever. I'm just excited that I'm finally in Korea," she said with a grin.980Please respect copyright.PENANADtOb3fNC83
980Please respect copyright.PENANAoLSrulqktN
"Yeah, me too." I stood and walked over to the window. The sky was completely dark, and the bright lights of the city shone brightly in the dark night.980Please respect copyright.PENANAUOq4w7kehY
980Please respect copyright.PENANAnimvgJ0r3A
"So, Christine, you're going to share the other room with Lee," I heard Zoey tell Christine. "Sam and I will be in this room. Wow, these beds are so comfortable." I hear her bounce up and down. "I'll sleep like a baby tonight."980Please respect copyright.PENANAUw0PPG9OO7
980Please respect copyright.PENANAXVyAObRDgK
All of a sudden, the door to the room flew open, and Lee came flying in, landing on the other bed Christine is sitting on. We all look at her, wondering what's going on.980Please respect copyright.PENANAoMBdEgbIxl
980Please respect copyright.PENANAv57bCMGgAT
"Hey, are you okay?" Christine asked.980Please respect copyright.PENANAftTXj8FoEf
980Please respect copyright.PENANAQTBDLY2RpR
"Have you checked what's online?" Lee asked, almost out of breath.980Please respect copyright.PENANAIV7TYv3cS1
980Please respect copyright.PENANATJKbgy586C
"Um, no," Zoey replied. "What is it?"980Please respect copyright.PENANAhFL8Z4dXOP
980Please respect copyright.PENANA0fZO9zRQrW
"Sam, you're everywhere, like everywhere," said Lee as she looked at me. She clearly isn't making any sense.980Please respect copyright.PENANAsjVIip22U8
980Please respect copyright.PENANAjSa8Wo4lFZ
"I'm everywhere? What do you mean?" I asked.980Please respect copyright.PENANAkzC8nKdKW0
980Please respect copyright.PENANAVrq7khVjaB
"Pictures of you with G-Dragon, the time you were with that little girl and Taeyang, everything. People are just talking about you!"980Please respect copyright.PENANAGHnmb3Jxlj
980Please respect copyright.PENANAmx7TeXcXof
Lee had her phone, and she held it up for all of us to see. Christine, Zoey, and I got close enough to look at the screen. And just like she said, there were many pictures of me and G-Dragon. Lee continued to scroll downward. There were more: some with me and the little girl, and others with Taeyang. There were also pictures of all The Toxins and BIGBANG members, but the photos of me were a little too much.980Please respect copyright.PENANAb78avBfP8H

"Wow, I'm not looking forward to seeing the entertainment news tomorrow," I said as I continued to look at the pictures.980Please respect copyright.PENANAkDIVtJt6Tk

"OMG!" said Zoey, her eyes still fixed on the screen. "There are pictures of you everywhere, Sam."980Please respect copyright.PENANAMJMAcA4Kwp

"Nah, we're all there," I said. "I'm just a little unfortunate."980Please respect copyright.PENANAAFI8VkssC5
980Please respect copyright.PENANAETUKYqbEPN
"Did you just say unfortunate?" Zoey asked as she looked at me with her eyebrows raised. "So many pictures of you, and you're saying you're unfortunate?"980Please respect copyright.PENANAewnq5nnMOW

"Okay, I better shut up because I'm clearly not helping," I said as I walked back to the window.980Please respect copyright.PENANAhdh1Kh57we

Suddenly, Mike and Daniel came into the room through the open door.980Please respect copyright.PENANAFG0i3E6ph8

"Guys, you're supposed to knock first," said Christine. "This is a girls' room, you know."980Please respect copyright.PENANASn728eVGRw

"You won't believe what's on Facebook," said Mike, completely ignoring Christine.980Please respect copyright.PENANABB4y5EQC6D

"If you're talking about Sam, we already know," said Zoey.980Please respect copyright.PENANAEzCAhwKRTR

"This is annoying," I said. "I didn't want this."980Please respect copyright.PENANAzFkxAlUOiK

"No one said you did," said Lee. "It just so happens that you caught people's attention."980Please respect copyright.PENANAzub0ZHIF4E
980Please respect copyright.PENANAdkRsL6xEmA
"It looks like you've gained so much attention yet again," said Daniel. "Wait until Collins sees this."980Please respect copyright.PENANAKMU4iCJfQE

"I'm so tired right now," said Christine as she yawned. "But I need to have something to eat first."980Please respect copyright.PENANA1Heu0JdLFu
980Please respect copyright.PENANArweOR5sCSi
"Food will be brought up soon," said Lee. "Collins thinks it's too risky to go downstairs since there are still fans and the media around."980Please respect copyright.PENANADMODrYvvNe

"Staying here is fine with me," I said. "As long as I don't get my picture taken putting something in my mouth."980Please respect copyright.PENANA0WzEcmcLoz
980Please respect copyright.PENANAKxJ5ZkYBeP
"Haha, now you're just exaggerating," said Zoey. "Just accept that somehow you caught the world's attention. Besides, this isn't the first time the Black Kitty has stolen the show."980Please respect copyright.PENANAaysdtq6A1D
980Please respect copyright.PENANAwujkMluqO5
I look at Zoey, and I have to admit, she's right. There were plenty of times when I "stole the show," as everybody puts it. But this time, it wasn't the whole U.S., but South Korea and other parts of the world combined. I'm not ready to check my phone because of all the notifications I would receive. I might as well just flush it down the toilet.980Please respect copyright.PENANA2OsKnKO0Jk

Looking out the window upon the beautiful city, still holding the flower the little girl gave me in my hand, I couldn't help but think of what Taeyang told me down in the lobby if I knew how valuable I am. I felt like a priceless diamond for the entire world to see. Some people would have liked the feeling, but I didn't.980Please respect copyright.PENANAvhQvRYmsgp

When supper arrived, we all ate, and everyone retired to sleep soon afterwards. As I lay down on my bed and Zoey is fast asleep on the other, I can't help but think of what will happen tomorrow. We were going to take a tour of Seoul. I am already so filled with excitement that I forgot all about the drama with BIGBANG, the media, and everything else. In what felt like seconds, I quickly dozed off to sleep.
