"I feel like I'm back at school all over again," Zoey complained as she scratched her scalp, her hair already looking messy.1078Please respect copyright.PENANANDPaIPXJdO
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA6IxpqRiYor
"Tell me about it," I said as I leaned back further on the couch. "I don't think I can take this anymore."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAX3tmXNwu9f
1078Please respect copyright.PENANANOUU1VIwcM
"This is tiring!" said Daniel, who had his body and his face flat on the floor.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA9UhMHZBYOX
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAh6IZfEEcUR
"Do we really have to know all of this?" Mike asked lazily as he lay on one of the couches alone.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAznsOlr1rR6
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAYtoSftl6om
"Do we have any other choice?" I asked him.1078Please respect copyright.PENANASRpc9sKy6s
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAnkwaRepLsn
"Well, I've got one," said Christine, who sat beside me. "I can easily just pack up and fly back home."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAzgtDAcwlIF
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0hfJmJdIey
"You're bluffing, and you know it," said Daniel, still flat on the floor.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA7fbxKsFPSZ
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAFAurRW9CXY
"Can we order coffee?" Zoey asked. "I need a lot of caffeine. Urgently."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAIH7mxhBOlT
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAZIySeEEaeZ
"You don't need coffee," said Mike. "A healthy breakfast filled with eggs, bacon, bread, and juice is all you need."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA6SEHiTKMD9
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAmlopF2q4bQ
"Morning, Toxins," said Collins as he entered the lounge. "How's your reading going?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAT2Ubnn0Cdp
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAofrrdhfmtA
"Reading? It's more like studying until you're brain dead," said Zoey. "Why do we have to know all of these rules?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAb0MQmC89Yk
1078Please respect copyright.PENANADlbMfizW6T
"Yeah, I thought we were visitors and supposed to be treated likewise," I said, furrowing my eyebrows. "Instead, it looks like we're back to the same old routine of following whatever the board says; only this time, it's Yang Hyun-suk."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAeNXsRbjchQ
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAxsLFYvqbQ3
"And you think I would’ve done something about it?" Collins asked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA5B3pJjD0yY
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9iUcgRyMe
"Yes!" the five of us replied simultaneously.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAfSSZDjUAcS
1078Please respect copyright.PENANASGPEt4SMRf
"Things are a lot more complicated than you think. You can wrap up now. You need to go for practice."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAw3iHw66UPT
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA09s8q63VhG
"Finally! I thought you would never say that," said Daniel, who quickly got up from the floor.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAMXhQSxa4oN
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAsSFviHXCSt
Zoey yawned and stretched her arms out. She looked like a yawning lion with her scruffy hair. "Thank goodness," she said. "Something fun to do except read this pamphlet."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAYJsvWdPP5X
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAJJaEBnC5Bc
We received brochures last night explaining the guidelines we had to abide by whenever we were on YG premises. These were the same rules that YG trainees and artists follow. It didn't feel right at first, but just like Collins put it, if we want to collaborate with BIGBANG with no problems, we've got to follow the rules.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA4CHEDFv87C
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAbqwtJh4Iao
We woke up an hour early before heading to practice to read in the lounge. We were still in our pajamas and looked as tired as hell from last night. However, we managed to read the pamphlet. Hopefully, we learned a thing or two.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0htEIYv7PD
1078Please respect copyright.PENANADGr3Ctx0Hd
"Okay, so get changed and meet us downstairs in ten minutes," said Collins.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAreHi0UOOWT
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAgVTmu8I5w5
"Aye, aye, captain," said Zoey, giving Collins a mocking hand salute. Collins rolled his eyes at her and left for the elevator.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAxzqcbIl2KQ
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAfGQDxFg8KE
After we got ourselves ready, we went downstairs to the car. This time, we weren't going to the gym. We were to start training at YG. It's a good thing, but with all the rules we've got to follow, you could think twice about going.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAHDih1rs4tH
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA1KBh8ih1iF
When we got there, we went straight to one of the dance studios and started practicing, trying to shake off the feeling of following the rules.1078Please respect copyright.PENANApDXDNWftwv
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAhLa8LIF8Kk
While we were at it, we heard the door to the studio fly open. We all stopped to look, as the door stood slightly ajar. For a moment, no one walked in. We started to wonder if there was anyone there.1078Please respect copyright.PENANASbncmCwq0D
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA4UowR6EXvF
"Check who is at the door," Zoey said to me quietly.1078Please respect copyright.PENANANFSEH8ZM4D
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAQFcse9ubzs
"Why should I check?" I asked, also with my voice tuned down.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAcw0oRPa70D
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAmQ51LL8aN4
"Daa, you're the leader."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAtJvvqNhdNJ
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAyk0tUkG3wC
"And what if there's someone out there wanting to kill me?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAHyjFmiXEs6
1078Please respect copyright.PENANArXgvpdInpn
"You're one who isn't even afraid of watching horror movies. Just go check."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAng4vmktxn7
1078Please respect copyright.PENANABUeP7bG3tv
I rolled my eyes and went quietly towards the door. When I got there, I fully opened it to find no one. Before I could step out of the room to check the corridor, someone jumped in front of me, blocking my way.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAmwIfApgtGM
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ1rmZgJvk
"What the.....!"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAVtZdoG6Dvo
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAofniwsLQkg
G-Dragon had jumped right in front of me. I almost lost balance and was falling backward. However, he quickly held my waist and pulled me towards him. We were in such an awkward position that anyone could easily mistake the two of us for wanting to kiss each other. We were so close that even my face was just inches away from his. I felt an electroshock rush down my spine from his touch as I was caught staring into his eyes.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAJZfXqpNs3U
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAP35oR31mUL
"Hey, BK," said G-Dragon with a dashing smile on his face. "Did you miss me?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAXke8XGjNEK
1078Please respect copyright.PENANApeuLiJ8glC
I'm a little lost for words. Everything came as a surprise. Moreover, I couldn't stop staring into his eyes. I couldn't figure out why I was so mesmerized by just looking at them.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAaUpLhyAnsh
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAaEciJUfNn9
"Hello? Sam, can you hear me?" he asked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA3rdaEm9JYl
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAMWij4KcO1O
I shook my head, and I found myself furrowing my eyebrows at him.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAXZWSQ6xMy3
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAIkM1wIurSf
"You should really stop doing that!" I said. "You almost gave me a heart attack."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAkoNzMmyofe
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA61eb0TdpX2
"Really? You should check yourself first before you blame me for anything," said G-Dragon. "A moment ago, you looked like you wanted to kiss me."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAmJHvOtbTbb
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAFu3Z84zNyh
My eyes almost fell out of their sockets, and I blushed like crazy. I wanted to slap him, but I couldn't raise my hand. Fighting and disrespecting others within the YG premises is a punishable offense. Then again, I wanted to slap him so badly to wipe that grin off his face.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0GFoonD3cW
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAO2YYTP4p3z
"Aren't you going to say anything, my little kitty?" G-Dragon asked as he smirked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAHdNsKoF3NM
1078Please respect copyright.PENANADJ5eBPc4pH
"I-uh-" I'm starting to lose my patience. "I hate you, Ji Yong."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0UKjZ8zSqx
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAuyXCxnuwob
"Says the girl who's still staring into my eyes and yearning to kiss me."1078Please respect copyright.PENANARdSCQO2HdB
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAvaEq0qjUJ4
That's it! I've had enough.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA75OSBXOe5O
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAYobInzdrYZ
I quickly pushed myself away, folding my arms. G-Dragon smiled at me. It's like he enjoys mocking me, and it's so annoying. Yet I couldn't understand why I was blushing so much. I turned to look the other way.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAVIDngSvKVp
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAMqu1u2oKvu
"Ji Yong, you're here!" exclaimed Zoey as she ran towards him, and they hugged each other. "What happened to you yesterday? You never came with us for lunch."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAbCBKWKoyj5
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAgx0RpRFfIi
"I had some things to take care of," said G-Dragon. "Sorry, I couldn't come."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAXYqunUvF3T
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA2nmHaa5s5d
"You better say sorry to Sam," said Christine. "It was her special day yesterday, and she was so upset that you didn't show."1078Please respect copyright.PENANASZWKqSiIm7
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAmEtrONNtZ2
I quickly looked over at Christine, and I gave her the "I'm going to kill you" look.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAgq3cPO1M17
1078Please respect copyright.PENANABNHLEj0RR2
"You see, she's still mad now," said Christine, pointing at me.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAeuFo8iFWkx
1078Please respect copyright.PENANATGWFopcgNt
I rolled my eyes and placed my hand over my forehead. All this is giving me a headache.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA6tGtDRl2H5
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAtGFp9Vh85S
"Now I see why she is so upset with me this morning," said G-Dragon as he looked over at me with one eyebrow raised, giving me that bad boy stare. I quickly looked away, as I could still feel myself blushing.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAmEy9K2guzc
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAMCpgmVb3E5
"You better have come with something to make her forgive you, or else she will stay mad at you forever," said Mike.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAPC7NMfoxW6
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAfVq4B3UST4
OMG! The last thing I need is for my brother to join in this charade.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAmiE0Zc2Mcs
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAhszOaZ7Pmh
"Don't worry, I've got just the thing to cheer her up," said G-Dragon.1078Please respect copyright.PENANABAI0CL8oL5
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAcHDBNLA8rt
I rolled my eyes, as I still had my back facing the others. What could he possibly do to cheer me up?1078Please respect copyright.PENANAelnD1TF9hd
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAtpVf1gJqLB
The next thing I knew, my nose caught a whiff of something flowery. Before I could turn to check where the smell was coming from, a bouquet of red roses filled my vision. I can't believe what I'm seeing. They were really roses. Moreover, they looked lovely. Where did they come from?1078Please respect copyright.PENANAqAsZNt2PZk
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAuGJisKz9xX
"How did you know I love roses?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAUpdILQkls5
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAVCq0rfhP5a
"It's easy to tell what you like nowadays with social media around," said G-Dragon, who stood right behind me and whispered in my ear.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAbSX1GwH2GN
1078Please respect copyright.PENANApuWIqsisg5
Oh, yeah. I forgot we had that.1078Please respect copyright.PENANALB1nZY4KNR
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA7knm3PO61F
I took the roses and sniffed them. They smelled lovely. At that moment, I forgot that I was even mad.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAGAlC9UMGCi
1078Please respect copyright.PENANALFdF0sFe9t
"So, you're not mad at me anymore?" G-Dragon asked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANALpe0J2hHxW
1078Please respect copyright.PENANApToedkL9RK
I turned around to give him my answer when I stopped short at the sight of a box of chocolates in his hands. Chocolates? Why did he have chocolates?1078Please respect copyright.PENANAGaLow23DbJ
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAuXTz5NlD2v
As though he read my mind, G-Dragon said, "I got a box of chocolates for you just in case the flowers wouldn't be enough to forgive me. I know you love chocolates. Well, almost every girl does."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAXtziwRnkrb
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAgKfKQDeGWx
I'm completely lost for words. I never expected this, especially from him. Was I dreaming, or was this G-Dragon standing in front of me a fake?1078Please respect copyright.PENANAv4APooS5V1
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAI5vyuoOzXB
"Wow, thanks, GD," I said. "To be honest, I'm not mad at you for not being around yesterday."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAmZF3aKAOEO
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAqSqvc9kQK4
"I know. I just wanted to make up for it. And by the way, congratulations."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0lD7GjI8aL
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAopYwn3uMhy
"Thanks." I couldn't stop blushing. In addition, it felt quite embarrassing.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAENEMUqKKuS
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAWSiiRNORCG
"Aww, this video is going to go viral," said Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA9PejskVrE0
1078Please respect copyright.PENANATcriXDMfa1
When I turned to face Zoey, I noticed that she had her phone camera pointed at us.1078Please respect copyright.PENANArccaP0JadM
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA6lCacIO5hy
"Zoey, are you recording this?" I asked even when I already knew the answer.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA8jaswmpDuE
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA2UYYA2Lzye
"Yeah, who wouldn't?" Zoey asked. "There's nothing you can do about it, though. I've already posted it online."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA3Mn7BgoLfO
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAVFBssS3PeT
"What! Zoey, how could you?" I stormed towards her, and I felt as if, at any moment, lightning would flash out of my eyes and zap her.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAcLfJl5QwbG
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAkUoIqbOwVb
"Whoa!" Zoey backed away a little as I approached. "Sam, chill out. It's just a video, okay? It's nothing serious."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAaPmj329PVX
1078Please respect copyright.PENANACHcq1CScQz
"Well, it is serious," I said, trying to keep my voice down so as not to attract attention outside the room. "You just filmed us and posted that video without our permission."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAIGwnnGi5Hj
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA4e3KPjigJz
"Great, Zoey," said Daniel. "You just made Sam more upset."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAjpzxWbjQ7M
1078Please respect copyright.PENANATM0nzH884z
"Sam, relax, okay?" said Zoey. "Don't worry; I'll delete it before anyone sees it."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAnXGfTmSbIN
1078Please respect copyright.PENANATYh8fTT4Uu
When Zoey checked her phone, the look on her face made me realize that she was a little too late.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAFisbaUSwTg
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAlwRw9qDmHY
"Whoops," Zoey said, as she gave me an apologetic look.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAgqPwJdGRbo
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAOqpTFXfA8J
"You just made things worse, didn't you?" Daniel asked as he shook his head.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAkn5WVKEP4S
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAvPZgf7xLTT
"I'm so dead," I said, also shaking my head.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAcN0hJaDE3F
1078Please respect copyright.PENANALg3n8y9ruJ
"I'm sorry, Sam," said Zoey. "It already has 15 views. It's probably on YouTube since I posted it on my fan page."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA66lKSE8LIn
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAyiBFBOoxnq
"Sometimes I wonder why you're ever around me," I said through my teeth.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAIApfCzdbWL
1078Please respect copyright.PENANACWDmHscYsI
"Chill, B.K." said G-Dragon as he came to stand beside me. "What's done is done. Don't worry about a thing."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0tr55oFo5h
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAptF09i3b4a
I took a sniff of the roses and said to Zoey, "You're so lucky I've got roses and chocolates to lighten my mood. Otherwise, I would've killed you today."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAjr18ZVj5Yr
1078Please respect copyright.PENANARtfzIfA0LK
"It looks like we've got G-Dragon to thank," said Mike. "You really know how to mess things up, Zoey."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAOBpLYjjajC
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAhsfnNco6t0
"Thanks, Mike. You're making me feel ten times worse," said Zoey with a frown.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAYDb13S3TtX
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAmKWOVxXkWu
"Can we please put this behind us and continue practicing?" Daniel asked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAYXfq6gHNic
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAdzBnXCCfJR
"To be honest, I don't feel like it anymore," I said. "Zoey just ruined my mood."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAedvTfdU4ic
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAQIpZ8ZccvI
"Hey, I said I'm sorry," said Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAmh4JL2QzTR
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0t7nezhY03
"Alright," said G-Dragon, clapping his hands to grab our attention. "Then we can go to the recording studio. We've got to start coming up with the song today."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAZt4vcS76vL
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAgvxT2G6fQs
"Oh, I completely forgot about that," said Christine.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA7vIlwMEsef
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAxOI7uLjt6d
"Let's go freshen up first," said Mike.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5SjlEgpOk
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAfCBNoU7sPZ
"Let's do that," I said as I quickly took the box of chocolates away from G-Dragon. "And I'll be taking that."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAXtyejvH7zb
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAe1B3metUqx
I quickly walked out of the studio, with Christine and Zoey following behind me. As I walked away, I could feel G-Dragon smiling at me.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAklWPENmIGl
1078Please respect copyright.PENANALcSp1mCE6D
After we freshened up, we found G-Dragon waiting for us in one of the recording rooms while we waited for the other BIGBANG members to arrive.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA76gHvalhbJ
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAmVZTsUMgG6
Daesung arrived first, and after he greeted all of us, he asked, "Sam, have you seen the video that's trending on YouTube right now?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAIZsFZR8lNR
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAIJOyFRmAbx
I stared at Daesung with my lips tightly sealed. I didn't have to ask what he was talking about. My eyes flew to Zoey, and she looked away without saying a word.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAjIU7GpcMtJ
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAb1GjmPXvPi
"I know what video you're talking about, Daesung," I said, trying to keep my cool.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAy8aRDgGUfV
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAwLxzrhD4jQ
"Judging by the looks of things, Zoey must have done something, right?" Daesung asked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANANhgsf30cvY
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAq4IquJbSxp
"She surely did," I replied as I continued to stare at her like a lion would at its prey.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAHtM2t8akfM
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA1hZtIXEQ5s
"Can we please stop talking about that?" Zoey asked. "I already feel awful about all of this, and you're making it worse."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA92DvUhtvSR
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAJNJsG5e2aY
The next thing we knew, Christine's phone beeped, then Mike's, Daniel's, Zoey's, and mine. We quickly took out our phones, almost simultaneously. I received a notification on YouTube about a trending video. It's the same video Zoey posted almost an hour ago, and it already has 2.1K views.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAoREa82clam
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA4UaTIwtIVy
"It looks like people spend all their time on YouTube nowadays," I said. "How could this video get so many views in just an hour?1078Please respect copyright.PENANAcchx9XTIUj
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAPDOhLglO6K
"Oh. It looks like we all received the same notification," said Daniel. "Classic!"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAFoVuBrBxK4
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAY4yjlGtBW1
"If I were you, Sam, I wouldn't even read the comments," said Daesung, also checking his phone.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA5gUZonZsKQ
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAuHzWAbutzs
"What are they saying?" G-Dragon asked with a grin on his face as he went over to Daesung.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAUnOzzfYfGa
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAN9W8oE8B98
"I don't want to hear it," I said as I leaned back on the chair and put my phone back in my pocket.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZoE4EM3qs
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAEyFkghtCdf
"The most amazing couple ever," Christine read aloud in surprise.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA6n5x9khEts
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA1lEyFyjU08
"This isn't good," I said as I closed my eyes.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0KPWPj5QTP
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAZS3KDo03hw
"Aww, so cute. These people just make the perfect couple. GD is so romantic," Mike also read out.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAixE72ixYXc
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA3yOaDBznMR
"Please, stop reading the comments," I said, holding my head. I felt like it was about to explode.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAp4kNk2EdWq
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAO4Haalk29Z
"Sorry, we'll try to keep it down," said Mike as he smirked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA47EoE8tKqz
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAa3inDU4ybd
"Hey, guys, listen to this one," said G-Dragon. "I hate to admit this, but these two look so..."1078Please respect copyright.PENANACNiTpSwvq7
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA6XJBjNHY0X
"Enough, please!" I exclaimed. "The last thing I need is someone reading a comment that says you and I should get married."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAD8DcBtTko0
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAywJc9YKB8f
"You're really good at guessing, Sam," said Daesung, his eyes still on the phone. "This comment says exactly that."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA7jIjgPHcWf
1078Please respect copyright.PENANASJBKdOHqmW
I rolled my eyes as everyone looked so preoccupied with their phones. Then, all of a sudden, Zoey squealed in delight, jumped from where she sat, and dashed towards me. For a moment, I got frightened. The last thing I want is to get pushed down by the person who just made a YouTube video of G-Dragon and I go viral. She approached me like a bulldozer.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0WgRPAdqpP
1078Please respect copyright.PENANANvKt4VBnRn
"Hey, Sam, do you remember this picture from the first day we came to Korea?" Zoey asked as she flashed her phone before my eyes.1078Please respect copyright.PENANALGHz8tXtKN
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAWtnsvww0Y8
I looked at it, and there's a picture of G-Dragon and me holding hands. That's when we arrived at the hotel, and G-Dragon had helped me out of the car. We had been stuck holding hands almost the entire time.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA60zOg5i3DX
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAHLCzH74PWc
Someone had posted the picture regarding the video on Facebook with a comment saying, "These two brilliant people make a great couple. Their holding hands on the first day they met is a sign that they are destined for each other. I can't wait for what's coming next. #weddingbells."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAgTB83Xz8HK

WEDDING BELLS! Has the whole world gone mad, or am I now on another planet? I stood up from my seat and started pacing back and forth. What's happening today? I just couldn't understand anything at all.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAkDjjVxp5xM
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAegpRr4IrWl
"If you're trying to think like Einstein and come up with a formula that might just get you out of this, it's not going to work," said Zoey as she stared at me.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAE2pmaLrnx1
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA9a39ndU81T
"Stop talking, Zoey. It's your fault I'm like this," I said. "You shouldn't have posted that video. Now everyone will think G-Dragon and I are dating."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAiXtPqJy31F
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAzYDc7RSMDF
"Isn't that a good thing?" G-Dragon asked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANARgyW11KtzG
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAoOHZatRZ5W
"No, no, Ji Yong, this is bad, real bad!" I said as I stared at him. "What will my parents think when they see this?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAb5nc1iSKfa
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA67iDnEQQOq
"Mum will be furious that you didn't say anything about a boy," said Mike, with a wicked look on his face.1078Please respect copyright.PENANApiuzUKlHKx
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAaar1zCRWed
"Yeah, that's my problem," I said to G-Dragon as I pointed my finger at Mike because of what he said. "My mother."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAvWxFej6hz2
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAFMsKPRacQr
"She'll understand," said Daesung. "We're in a world of fame. Rumors are bound to fly around anyhow."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAgT9PRd41rO
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAJYySbipFRL
"I hope so," I said. "She won't trust me anymore because I didn't tell her first that I had a guy in my life."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA6xleV1uz28
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAJG1uI1Bynt
"Mm, well, I'm lucky to be that special guy," said G-Dragon with that smile of his.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA3PChCtB70n
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAyeyDwxhw2I
"You're not helping, GD," I said as I shook my head.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAM8Nu3g0EAN
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAbyLIYO42A5
The door flew open, and Taeyang, T.O.P., and Seungri came in.1078Please respect copyright.PENANABN90zKoebJ
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAoXSCYZA1xA
"So this is where you are," said Taeyang. "Has anyone seen what's going on?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAireSTdxyLK
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAdOLEBmpDtg
"If you're talking about Sam and G-Dragon's video going viral, we already know," said Christine.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA2kZXrUCOsC
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAOVYrqu5yye
"Who posted the video?" T.O.P asked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA7PKFohf5Cq
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAeJDTyqQeAj
I turned to look at Zoey. The rest of The Toxins, G-Dragon, and Daesung also had their eyes on her. The room fell silent, and by the look on Zoey's face, she felt uncomfortable.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAalIF3Jgqd3
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAyo3bUp8dYu
"Eish, can you all stop looking at me like I'm a criminal? I did say I was sorry," said Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAvcOnaYxb3K
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAdoq8hgSFmt
"I can't stay mad at you forever, Zoey, and you know it," I said with my arms folded. "But don't you ever do that again. Clear?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAqgmT7ovelq
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAPztT37aNig
"As clear as crystal," said Zoey, nodding her head like a little child.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAS9NInQQfot
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAGrVDSWDJQH
"Okay, now that we're all here," I said, addressing everyone, "let's put everything behind us so that we can focus on the song. What do you think?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAXipyA7kN8T
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAWKcRudznG0
"I agree. Let's start," said Seungri as he took a seat and made himself comfortable.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAQoseSeJx4G
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAiSilVGrX06
Everyone gathered in a circle, and for what seemed like minutes, we were just staring at each other in silence.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAVAB4SQwA3L
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA5G1VrBC78j
"Are we going to just stare at each other?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA7RPncdDY9m
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAfufjtrRxRM
"I thought you were spearheading this," said Taeyang.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAwSn5mbXVaf
1078Please respect copyright.PENANATqAfNsn7UD
"I know I'm the leader of The Toxins, but I'm simply not the oldest in the room," I said. "Any of the BIGBANG members, especially G-Dragon, can take the floor."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA2hU80qPriV
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAqSlM6npVcq
Zoey, sitting next to me, pulled me by the arm, drawing me closer to her so that she could whisper in my ear.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAaUcEryVn9J
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAT0D1dM7xDo
"What are you doing?" Zoey asked. "Don't tell me you're going to follow every rule in that pamphlet! Why not take the reins instead?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAXV2tVPSv29
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAhq1pKzpIJO
"Wow, I never would've thought that you took the pamphlet and read it," I whispered back with a smile.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA5IXDG7cmrC
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAYJkNfQEio0
One of the rules stated that those who are older and more experienced take control of things. For the time being, we had to act like juniors and treat BIGBANG like our seniors. Besides, this is their home turf.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAzVFfsIcZYR
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAHJSTKR4WPf
"This is not a game, Sam," Zoey whispered. "You simply aren't going to give away this opportunity to bring out your brilliant ideas, are you?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANA9mHPUXc5hL
1078Please respect copyright.PENANArtlRDyYgiP
"Do I have a choice?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAzsP4UwmvGm
1078Please respect copyright.PENANADVCMgg8eMH
Zoey looked at me, and I could clearly see the answer on her face. I positioned myself upright on the chair and looked on at the others, brushing off the little conversation Zoey and I just had.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAE2fjjHyTL2
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAr4cgA8ZvE2
"Okay, so what do you think the song should be based on?" G-Dragon asked. "I would like everyone to bring out their opinions."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAN7Ns9ps0Hm
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAl38uJrpd4t
"Let me start," said Zoey. "I think we should do a love song."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAJnEkBLc1C6
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAgZt3u235qk
"A love song?" Daniel asked, looking surprised. "You've never suggested a love song before, Zoey. And you aren't always up for them either."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAp41lYpY47Q
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAu677g9dDIl
"I just had a change of heart."1078Please respect copyright.PENANATxTGYxOdAO
1078Please respect copyright.PENANACrgP9Hn2Ps
"Well, that's a surprise."1078Please respect copyright.PENANANip8Qsup5T
1078Please respect copyright.PENANABAymiY2Oag
"Okay, well, I'll go with Zoey on this one," said Christine. "A love song will be perfect."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0OXARyP2j4
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAJNAuMPP4z9
"I think that's too cheesy," said Taeyang.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAW5jSOe7E5t
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAPMldJvatYa
"I also agree," I said. "We all sing pop, and the fans would expect that from us. And it has to be a smashing hit."1078Please respect copyright.PENANACiLd9AekkZ
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAuqEVDZ3zSd
"Now you're talking," said G-Dragon. "Okay, so who all agrees with Sam that it should be an all-pop song?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAvgNkmMGoNM
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAIojlmViFKr
Everyone except me raised his or her hand. I looked over at Zoey, and she gave me a wink.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAvuscuLqr27
1078Please respect copyright.PENANANFRGApiyQf
"Fine, we've all agreed that it's going to be a pop song, so what is it going to be about?" T.O.P. asked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0vgjvAkSLU
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAWH9GLC6jc3
"Fun and games," Mike blurted out.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAjf0U0KpHZA
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA7mWOgKuD2o
"Boys, beach parties, and stuff," said Zoey. I hit my forehead with my hand when she said that.1078Please respect copyright.PENANA9psRkhPkKC
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAx9BGGRvUny
"Pandas," said Seungri.1078Please respect copyright.PENANApMDDjlwKHh
1078Please respect copyright.PENANALK0ANHU2l8
Zoey and I burst out laughing, and we both said, "Good one, Seungri!"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAPxhHzqQgCy
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAHniJoEGEnN
"If Zoey could suggest boys and stuff, then I would like girls," said T.O.P. with that awesome, sexy voice of his, "and stuff."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAj5ssRn8RZf
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA0qhdt5l2Ua
"How about just making it a little more like a love song but still having that pop beat in it?" Taeyang asked.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAWKX0pssdym
1078Please respect copyright.PENANATHO8FGoGuv
"It ain't that bad, though," said Daesung. "But I think the song should be more about fun and something funky too."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAiCoDPR3324
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAUSHd7rKOtL
"I like Daesung's idea," I said. "We need the song with a funky pop tune that would make anyone dance the first time they hear it."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ547NvYBY
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA9vu6qWq494
"So, the song should be fun and have a catchy beat," said G-Dragon, considering everything.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAuoKBsjBudi
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAfvI4ujBhEi
"Yeah, it should be a bit more like 'Fantastic Baby,'" said Daniel.1078Please respect copyright.PENANATpNsUE4UOX
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAeCtQZ7Z3lm
"You, Daniel, just read my mind," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAxKBWqSjcgV
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA6pm3xoXjaR
"Okay, so we've got that figured out," said G-Dragon. "We'll have to start working on the lyrics and the beat."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA9f7i0CMX5B
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAURVC9sbmbM
"Sam, you should write the lyrics," said Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAnNqiLUgpnD
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAAA7P3b5A8k
I looked at Zoey and gave her a look, telling her to shut up.1078Please respect copyright.PENANArnOkoo6ACC
1078Please respect copyright.PENANADqug3cLfwJ
"Yeah, I hear she's a very good songwriter," said Seungri.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAksooHsXPnK
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAxt6Pjq6PuW
"Well, I never write alone," I said shyly. I feel a little uncomfortable when people praise me for my songwriting.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAWuqKK188Jt
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAWlrCqyrRuT
"I'll help you," said G-Dragon. "But everyone will have to too."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAQXS41y8eM3
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAjRZciDZz7s
"Then, after we come up with the song, I suggest that Taeyang and Mike come up with the dance moves," I said. "That's if it's okay with you, GD. Any choreographer can come in too."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAa4Zz2g0Jxz
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAtNEcEgK270
"It's okay," said G-Dragon. "The two are our best dancers, so they'll come up with moves and be our choreographers."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAhaE5mdPgpz
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAyx6JOthGOA
"Sweet, so when do we start working on the song?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAuQqWkrmkai
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAwCESR1y6RN
"We can start tomorrow," answered G-Dragon. "We can't just start writing right here and now."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA1eNUyzCQbT
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA1pVZsqvty8
"So what do you suggest we do for the time being?" Daniel asked. "It's not even noon, and we've nothing else to do."1078Please respect copyright.PENANAV5oaFDCcyI
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAlwMwngetqB
"We go have fun," answered G-Dragon as he stood up from his seat.1078Please respect copyright.PENANABfbPs2AMY4
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAPMONBlxfjD
"Yay!" Zoey and Christine squealed in delight like little kids.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAEaOCG9OJpv
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3MVl3scky
"Fun?" I asked, looking surprised. "And where do you think we should go and have fun?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANALwGg7yzUMW
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAwqpVd2EVz2
"Follow me, and I'll show you my jagi." G-Dragon gave me a wink and started walking towards the door.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAzO8yizJBnc
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAgnu5yYXmRh
"Hold on a second," I said, with a bit of grit. G-Dragon reached the door and turned to face me. "I know what 'jagi' means, and just because people think we're dating doesn't mean you've got to think the same way."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA04wj8NKfq1
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAQcFX0m67pe
"I know. I just wanted to call you that to see your reaction," said G-Dragon with a smile. "You look so cute when you're annoyed."1078Please respect copyright.PENANANhqQHdbz8k
1078Please respect copyright.PENANApSEVBcbMW9
I quickly looked away and didn't say a word. I always hate it when a person finds a way to shut me up. How I wish I could punch GD in the face. My knuckles were just itching to do so.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAUSLOItDqm6
1078Please respect copyright.PENANASDuMuyYvhL
"So, if anyone is coming with me, I'll be waiting outside in my car," said G-Dragon, and he left the room.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAglBkD0xXzV
1078Please respect copyright.PENANADyjDcZxiJJ
"Well, I'm going," said Zoey as she stood up. "How about you, Sam?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAoftfflKZj6
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAzFzoc1GC6n
"No, count me out," I said. "I've had enough drama already."1078Please respect copyright.PENANA5rUCW63oHO
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA5MfFX1YU49
"Okay, but just know you're going to miss out on all the fun," said Zoey, and she quickly dashed out of the room.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAVMFOVHV4A6
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAiY1qyx59y2
Christine, Mike, and Daniel soon followed. Taeyang, Seungri, and T.O.P. announced that they had their own plans and places to go, so they left, leaving me alone with Daesung.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAlrtLufy34G
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAiNYR4OadqV
"Aren't you going out yourself?" I asked him as I tapped my fingers on my knees.1078Please respect copyright.PENANALQjJijqHg0
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAVRWdfjsoL7
"Nah, I don't have much to do today," said Daesung. "May I suggest that we go somewhere interesting?"1078Please respect copyright.PENANAXOP1Jd9L4M
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAtlTfloUle6
"Yeah, sure. I need to get my mind off what's happened and come up with lyrics for the song."1078Please respect copyright.PENANApkkpXkvXk6
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAkHxY158NHB
"Okay, let's go," said Daesung.1078Please respect copyright.PENANAtSuXUFQja7
1078Please respect copyright.PENANA5E07G95VNb
We both stood up from our chairs and left the recording room.1078Please respect copyright.PENANArDw2O53vpk
1078Please respect copyright.PENANAiqXRnj2134
As Daesung and I walked out of the building, we saw G-Dragon's car leave through the gate. I continued to stare as it sped away. A feeling came that this day is far from over and something even worse than crazy is about to drop on us. However, I just couldn't figure out what it could be or how it was going to happen.
