"I feel like I'm back at school all over again," Zoey complained as she scratched her scalp, her hair already looking messy.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAPkm2wM4UzP
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAztKV0BUOhj
"Tell me about it," I said as I leaned back further on the couch. "I don't think I can take this anymore."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAZpxR68e6iU
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAmlDXNToaFv
"This is tiring!" said Daniel, who had his body and his face flat on the floor.1106Please respect copyright.PENANArX5cwjkrMP
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAmYMQPtf7JO
"Do we really have to know all of this?" Mike asked lazily as he lay on one of the couches alone.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA7HeO2SVqXz
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA7sbpXld8cS
"Do we have any other choice?" I asked him.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAuvY2P53rzk
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAt5GIcNYDFD
"Well, I've got one," said Christine, who sat beside me. "I can easily just pack up and fly back home."1106Please respect copyright.PENANADZ5GxzBsKy
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAAYlZFQDxRh
"You're bluffing, and you know it," said Daniel, still flat on the floor.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAOlwxxlbEFP
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA0sARjPR9Ke
"Can we order coffee?" Zoey asked. "I need a lot of caffeine. Urgently."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAbwEi9Ea9Nw
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAxhrkDCaCFJ
"You don't need coffee," said Mike. "A healthy breakfast filled with eggs, bacon, bread, and juice is all you need."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAWOFHucZfHb
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAqm8SB6203d
"Morning, Toxins," said Collins as he entered the lounge. "How's your reading going?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAGjrCWihPWY
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAmcZ2u3fO0C
"Reading? It's more like studying until you're brain dead," said Zoey. "Why do we have to know all of these rules?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAqfNlYhQspv
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAgUsoHCyCgl
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAoDNlFkJmzC
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAZeWmjWcLej
"And you think I would’ve done something about it?" Collins asked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAMLyW8YiWrz
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ8EJlAYmh
"Yes!" the five of us replied simultaneously.1106Please respect copyright.PENANARtuVlmM1T9
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAWAILzfEGEl
"Things are a lot more complicated than you think. You can wrap up now. You need to go for practice."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAXysnaRcf4X
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAM5NAh8udUU
"Finally! I thought you would never say that," said Daniel, who quickly got up from the floor.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA7VnwQ7IdSd
1106Please respect copyright.PENANACDVoFQz3oy
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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANADc6V3xPRSI
1106Please respect copyright.PENANALTzQcoFDgT
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAbq2q1h19Ku
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnvzZmAUe4q
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAB1e4e81keI
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnTzHCw5BSO
"Okay, so get changed and meet us downstairs in ten minutes," said Collins.1106Please respect copyright.PENANACKDZxEtYFC
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAaWs3dhA2Y4
"Aye, aye, captain," said Zoey, giving Collins a mocking hand salute. Collins rolled his eyes at her and left for the elevator.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA6jVBh1Pgr7
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAsmWSfIHBHR
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAlWNJC6V6ux
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAS6cdqsN19a
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAEJUVqbVEjB
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA4CS2QQMBv8
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAeAm0p5wAbj
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAiBm2woMjpU
"Check who is at the door," Zoey said to me quietly.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAKiMvMZkWH7
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAKAcnaIayAh
"Why should I check?" I asked, also with my voice tuned down.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAHPtQkg7fMz
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAP1YIjLEQqb
"Daa, you're the leader."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAsXwGccVInS
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAwCAMetxEoT
"And what if there's someone out there wanting to kill me?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAIqb5f3YbyT
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z9b71FKbW
"You're one who isn't even afraid of watching horror movies. Just go check."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA3rQ0oIAFt9
1106Please respect copyright.PENANALuJbvOirzf
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAZcUeeHjlUL
1106Please respect copyright.PENANALmGJwM46KT
"What the.....!"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAD17D3MXdBU
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAk8kSZtX0RS
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAu8rlctHPz0
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAMcSmpiIgbT
"Hey, BK," said G-Dragon with a dashing smile on his face. "Did you miss me?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAI0OuJiUCeV
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAN1Ng0WZsQl
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAmznTwGSE0v
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAUX63PqIshW
"Hello? Sam, can you hear me?" he asked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA8B17Fw4oce
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA7NUIQcnztQ
I shook my head, and I found myself furrowing my eyebrows at him.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAS2HcPrF0id
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAqkwipStvqK
"You should really stop doing that!" I said. "You almost gave me a heart attack."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAd8QjQomf8i
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAD2ujQChUd2
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAtsRST9rRSq
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA1bo4MZmAOK
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA6jsSJLmrsI
1106Please respect copyright.PENANATfNJQmOpwy
"Aren't you going to say anything, my little kitty?" G-Dragon asked as he smirked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAgXBXvk3Vnx
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAFT7nq5Tkm3
"I-uh-" I'm starting to lose my patience. "I hate you, Ji Yong."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAtxkM97WnFL
1106Please respect copyright.PENANALRhNI6kvkj
"Says the girl who's still staring into my eyes and yearning to kiss me."1106Please respect copyright.PENANATrpDlHWiDH
1106Please respect copyright.PENANArCnTQdqpBa
That's it! I've had enough.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnXkUPbvJv6
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAj3jiJVdrBd
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA0xOSqFVLRw
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAiXdAMSliU6
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAbrWiIo8f2W
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAulsGkelHoB
"I had some things to take care of," said G-Dragon. "Sorry, I couldn't come."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAXxz9pJuxeZ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAkgtg7cqaCa
"You better say sorry to Sam," said Christine. "It was her special day yesterday, and she was so upset that you didn't show."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAMojLDRqNUl
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA7AyLQp9MfV
I quickly looked over at Christine, and I gave her the "I'm going to kill you" look.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAo7ROAcz1FK
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ2qt2CEkT
"You see, she's still mad now," said Christine, pointing at me.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAGg5stoBwMr
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1AuEmDBOE
I rolled my eyes and placed my hand over my forehead. All this is giving me a headache.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnRghdLSApL
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAiMcSiuLpwE
"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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAoEDZKyhnoB
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAEwmLwN8UCB
"You better have come with something to make her forgive you, or else she will stay mad at you forever," said Mike.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnzlsXXZzep
1106Please respect copyright.PENANARNUfcZciqJ
OMG! The last thing I need is for my brother to join in this charade.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAXuIK6x10GO
1106Please respect copyright.PENANALaVvjptM1a
"Don't worry, I've got just the thing to cheer her up," said G-Dragon.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAZu2jvmMwD5
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAiY7xOzuJij
I rolled my eyes, as I still had my back facing the others. What could he possibly do to cheer me up?1106Please respect copyright.PENANAIhJNhwJEwc
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAIzrYkTFwBs
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?1106Please respect copyright.PENANAhFTzwPWGdQ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAlmtqDrVX0O
"How did you know I love roses?" I asked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAX3t5DnhwA5
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAonj0Mo9QrX
"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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAr9pbPW9Ol0
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAi0MRkagKHa
Oh, yeah. I forgot we had that.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAoQZUtDCcFI
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAKIu3s3zbR4
I took the roses and sniffed them. They smelled lovely. At that moment, I forgot that I was even mad.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnxfrGihbyY
1106Please respect copyright.PENANARXsgE78vYe
"So, you're not mad at me anymore?" G-Dragon asked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAQlltbG9zVY
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAATIWofeYHb
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?1106Please respect copyright.PENANAaOkbzOV32F
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAF6Y5ZYVr1i
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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA8RMCkLIxcO
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAldfw4J7sKz
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?1106Please respect copyright.PENANA5mzFkzQ85e
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAjPSTJM9kq3
"Wow, thanks, GD," I said. "To be honest, I'm not mad at you for not being around yesterday."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA0ypAlLxPfd
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnESQ4AECPp
"I know. I just wanted to make up for it. And by the way, congratulations."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAO5XXj9YFNR
1106Please respect copyright.PENANASQj3J4iLnZ
"Thanks." I couldn't stop blushing. In addition, it felt quite embarrassing.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAOMQ68nnOxc
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAl7pyk5q2Gg
"Aww, this video is going to go viral," said Zoey.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA4nkOcoqjGL
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAeXF4AWVUJp
When I turned to face Zoey, I noticed that she had her phone camera pointed at us.1106Please respect copyright.PENANArUqRzdvwkr
1106Please respect copyright.PENANACnh3eEenn0
"Zoey, are you recording this?" I asked even when I already knew the answer.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAkczuPppPKS
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAZW77PhB26S
"Yeah, who wouldn't?" Zoey asked. "There's nothing you can do about it, though. I've already posted it online."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAchWYViNC6P
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAkW550oskel
"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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAmUHG7YJMeO
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA5A5ShEIRLK
"Whoa!" Zoey backed away a little as I approached. "Sam, chill out. It's just a video, okay? It's nothing serious."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA6JYHLE3l2G
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA2gmqjBe1pU
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA6c47tszZN8
1106Please respect copyright.PENANALqbpY4zjRJ
"Great, Zoey," said Daniel. "You just made Sam more upset."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAJc8nZ8rOqc
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAF2BMV36HUD
"Sam, relax, okay?" said Zoey. "Don't worry; I'll delete it before anyone sees it."1106Please respect copyright.PENANASFK02P8nFZ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAMV2oRRj1nD
When Zoey checked her phone, the look on her face made me realize that she was a little too late.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAtKdz7UomXT
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA2JiMMUFeT5
"Whoops," Zoey said, as she gave me an apologetic look.1106Please respect copyright.PENANATqSppgJKXz
1106Please respect copyright.PENANALj47Irio4C
"You just made things worse, didn't you?" Daniel asked as he shook his head.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA7evOiF8BaU
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAp5nRi9v5uT
"I'm so dead," I said, also shaking my head.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAkyFPBUBjCP
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAt2zVUhIuRB
"I'm sorry, Sam," said Zoey. "It already has 15 views. It's probably on YouTube since I posted it on my fan page."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA4pIsXEWnqX
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAFd53pzvYtH
"Sometimes I wonder why you're ever around me," I said through my teeth.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAeLrBzJuPPX
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAhBUEVUtCzQ
"Chill, B.K." said G-Dragon as he came to stand beside me. "What's done is done. Don't worry about a thing."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAj8qn8oKdR9
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAaYPQ6X5q4J
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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANASj65u5kMv0
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAm10NJgRA3j
"It looks like we've got G-Dragon to thank," said Mike. "You really know how to mess things up, Zoey."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAqGVMvny6b9
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA7pl52ycocS
"Thanks, Mike. You're making me feel ten times worse," said Zoey with a frown.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAz2hTj7MvVJ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAn6CXC48pZd
"Can we please put this behind us and continue practicing?" Daniel asked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAjRmLbG8hIQ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANALGxNYoTjQN
"To be honest, I don't feel like it anymore," I said. "Zoey just ruined my mood."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAvrzUHSoMZZ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANASneBhBzVds
"Hey, I said I'm sorry," said Zoey.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA7mG3vWviP8
1106Please respect copyright.PENANANvyZGaz2Aq
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAeT9kaupa0j
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAIszGHsnCms
"Oh, I completely forgot about that," said Christine.1106Please respect copyright.PENANARAzrNpmPbO
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAEoI6wiJ9iE
"Let's go freshen up first," said Mike.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yz4yjoast
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAVZGCv8V2iL
"Let's do that," I said as I quickly took the box of chocolates away from G-Dragon. "And I'll be taking that."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA2DnLWTRXME
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAMh9R8SZMXQ
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAbEAuYt7FBk
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAsNIP5Jn7AX
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA2AHtEzjri9
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAn2TZAxw3Qa
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?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANA2FcFT1kzj1
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAt8yJRoznaY
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAJAV4uI1uuO
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAfMRkUI4glY
"I know what video you're talking about, Daesung," I said, trying to keep my cool.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA5G7x4PJlfO
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAKx8LmC0St9
"Judging by the looks of things, Zoey must have done something, right?" Daesung asked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAviTsbRzop9
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAgMQtjQvVWe
"She surely did," I replied as I continued to stare at her like a lion would at its prey.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAo055uqg632
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAdEK3KM7KMG
"Can we please stop talking about that?" Zoey asked. "I already feel awful about all of this, and you're making it worse."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAiHnks7D6yt
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAltvIfUQMlG
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAFwAbUdcArF
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA7A1EeRiJo8
"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?1106Please respect copyright.PENANAYly68O29E9
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAr8e1sAvbFU
"Oh. It looks like we all received the same notification," said Daniel. "Classic!"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAl7PENbs0am
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAskB3mh5f4l
"If I were you, Sam, I wouldn't even read the comments," said Daesung, also checking his phone.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAtDpBFlOqnK
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA8vrt1OlKgK
"What are they saying?" G-Dragon asked with a grin on his face as he went over to Daesung.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAlSKndHbtYw
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAck3cOOvcW6
"I don't want to hear it," I said as I leaned back on the chair and put my phone back in my pocket.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAlFUAjEU7Zu
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAF1ckUpsbKq
"The most amazing couple ever," Christine read aloud in surprise.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAb8CiUhLW5k
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAZkhiNQrSSv
"This isn't good," I said as I closed my eyes.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA5MB0HhI48V
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAZzOjTOV5mj
"Aww, so cute. These people just make the perfect couple. GD is so romantic," Mike also read out.1106Please respect copyright.PENANATE220BGyT4
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAu0tP6kYLpu
"Please, stop reading the comments," I said, holding my head. I felt like it was about to explode.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA0oWTAZ8kQX
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAr0A7Fj2aC6
"Sorry, we'll try to keep it down," said Mike as he smirked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAo2NL85S4Vy
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAfp5krLNeM9
"Hey, guys, listen to this one," said G-Dragon. "I hate to admit this, but these two look so..."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAd7VeQIgLBG
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAOpcQ4NW8WK
"Enough, please!" I exclaimed. "The last thing I need is someone reading a comment that says you and I should get married."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAuO918t3wqs
1106Please respect copyright.PENANALb1hnvG4FJ
"You're really good at guessing, Sam," said Daesung, his eyes still on the phone. "This comment says exactly that."1106Please respect copyright.PENANABk2ujUWsi2
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAh1T6GoG2cy
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAqNj7vezOiS
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAKs9x0ib1Dz
"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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA1A3DZ4NkSk
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAy0e3qEQoEI
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANABQu1w5QtFZ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA3TmSAySUEv
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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAGwuE8LhqPh

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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAw7MCcRgS0q
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA2sRhxOPWch
"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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAUZtNltdwYJ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAlyFsOt38uw
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA35URvAtYZl
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAIuBfvi44k4
"Isn't that a good thing?" G-Dragon asked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAdLMqcw0g5V
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAoWG04ppP58
"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?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAj2ZycYh9Pf
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAWcqGqkwnCR
"Mum will be furious that you didn't say anything about a boy," said Mike, with a wicked look on his face.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAS2GXbx0H45
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAS1vQmydnMh
"Yeah, that's my problem," I said to G-Dragon as I pointed my finger at Mike because of what he said. "My mother."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAOfj1G5ihqa
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAV3FaANLPth
"She'll understand," said Daesung. "We're in a world of fame. Rumors are bound to fly around anyhow."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAuyFw3t7fCU
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAgNXyeMViN6
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAuRnxUsxwoU
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAdUoiIv4TcN
"Mm, well, I'm lucky to be that special guy," said G-Dragon with that smile of his.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAbNpYbL2SfH
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAZV1jz1Glys
"You're not helping, GD," I said as I shook my head.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAUdDWbm3u4P
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAm0A54evOj5
The door flew open, and Taeyang, T.O.P., and Seungri came in.1106Please respect copyright.PENANABbsnIYmUf0
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAEzNhwGknbX
"So this is where you are," said Taeyang. "Has anyone seen what's going on?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANANMjKvgWIsF
1106Please respect copyright.PENANALEjQrBFp7W
"If you're talking about Sam and G-Dragon's video going viral, we already know," said Christine.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAfhQHDIB0d7
1106Please respect copyright.PENANArXTmKjhDxU
"Who posted the video?" T.O.P asked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANARWDlGStj7p
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAdZYd6V6EbF
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAbHPrkI11rk
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAlRaMNR3Qwb
"Eish, can you all stop looking at me like I'm a criminal? I did say I was sorry," said Zoey.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAE8siNyQWR7
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAB0w5n5vAfm
"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?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANA4WPbUfwS8W
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAzvKMwaxTIM
"As clear as crystal," said Zoey, nodding her head like a little child.1106Please respect copyright.PENANARsRnLLJfoc
1106Please respect copyright.PENANApOShbRLY91
"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?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAgcZ5kz4Nvi
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA4MCw9I3Rzp
"I agree. Let's start," said Seungri as he took a seat and made himself comfortable.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAhZmjBRoTOq
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAlXjwZP8pXQ
Everyone gathered in a circle, and for what seemed like minutes, we were just staring at each other in silence.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAOTSvuqOVVM
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAQu288KsgHX
"Are we going to just stare at each other?" I asked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANACa8m8980iG
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA306Zw3EIv9
"I thought you were spearheading this," said Taeyang.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAltzqtVE83M
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAPSgQ4SFPdC
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAKNkXJKRGNl
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAVLgyrx4QXq
Zoey, sitting next to me, pulled me by the arm, drawing me closer to her so that she could whisper in my ear.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAKfk1MMOulp
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAAcrJoDmBCS
"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?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANA8a3BdlZNHK
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAGp16kGd6un
"Wow, I never would've thought that you took the pamphlet and read it," I whispered back with a smile.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnBI3aZfzdT
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAUCoAbR644f
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAXQpoC9GKQS
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAzHBkSCDnLF
"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?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAALO5MDoOiv
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAIXrkCv9TeH
"Do I have a choice?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANA1eOGFlfJV8
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAa106nxpHU3
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAmCYOj3p1iI
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAy1iLjJzdz0
"Okay, so what do you think the song should be based on?" G-Dragon asked. "I would like everyone to bring out their opinions."1106Please respect copyright.PENANArBbZHE542U
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAYC5dnOiAVI
"Let me start," said Zoey. "I think we should do a love song."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA8L9Yp8FNKf
1106Please respect copyright.PENANArCZTYdk5Tz
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAYaJh7dNph5
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAHKNAAPnMqp
"I just had a change of heart."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAJW7VudB1t2
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA3juHBZRlpt
"Well, that's a surprise."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAEIrBlNTdft
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA7xIynxBlgT
"Okay, well, I'll go with Zoey on this one," said Christine. "A love song will be perfect."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA1q29noQ2CX
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAFNhKCRq5dO
"I think that's too cheesy," said Taeyang.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA4ljFtfgWcv
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA4IJl0yT1sy
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA5h4Q3zJtSs
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAZ281phskM4
"Now you're talking," said G-Dragon. "Okay, so who all agrees with Sam that it should be an all-pop song?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAPFbyjVMZOe
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAvstDkbwRCu
Everyone except me raised his or her hand. I looked over at Zoey, and she gave me a wink.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAK4PCsrVF8e
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAMUuXmutik7
"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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAMKj2VMYtZI
1106Please respect copyright.PENANACbvEfN577Q
"Fun and games," Mike blurted out.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAb4UdLh2fYc
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAdmeusrZMW0
"Boys, beach parties, and stuff," said Zoey. I hit my forehead with my hand when she said that.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAeBbbXpXSET
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAvcVH7SBNdE
"Pandas," said Seungri.1106Please respect copyright.PENANANdmvyxaUhy
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnVGGZZfKFx
Zoey and I burst out laughing, and we both said, "Good one, Seungri!"1106Please respect copyright.PENANA8ALrTj3MwZ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA1l03vyvyDF
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAxVJ98OwU1A
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA5pUp5QRkBY
"How about just making it a little more like a love song but still having that pop beat in it?" Taeyang asked.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAeGLr521dTQ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAFOq7ywBnpK
"It ain't that bad, though," said Daesung. "But I think the song should be more about fun and something funky too."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAHWAkghuAWY
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA8GyJvT0gDz
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAQwCulEMpxe
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAEaXZ7N79UH
"So, the song should be fun and have a catchy beat," said G-Dragon, considering everything.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAXzYk0OqpLg
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAEFaFXQCm1O
"Yeah, it should be a bit more like 'Fantastic Baby,'" said Daniel.1106Please respect copyright.PENANANPKJWPn1p9
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA8SKm2hrVXo
"You, Daniel, just read my mind," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAojHMd09hMS
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA59mobByrSJ
"Okay, so we've got that figured out," said G-Dragon. "We'll have to start working on the lyrics and the beat."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZZPQPeEaO
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAEBZDFFdiv7
"Sam, you should write the lyrics," said Zoey.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAStBjVBMEq7
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAODIosBpCFs
I looked at Zoey and gave her a look, telling her to shut up.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAGIkwob8CLo
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAurpnTbulLQ
"Yeah, I hear she's a very good songwriter," said Seungri.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAluKsTvnQtI
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAlMFaEJiNY1
"Well, I never write alone," I said shyly. I feel a little uncomfortable when people praise me for my songwriting.1106Please respect copyright.PENANACMT37nPDpu
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAUC1Tp1eGtw
"I'll help you," said G-Dragon. "But everyone will have to too."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAvU7ub7CMPW
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAzM60exa9IT
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANA0VXoYsdnwZ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAtGIP9cHVAL
"It's okay," said G-Dragon. "The two are our best dancers, so they'll come up with moves and be our choreographers."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnoJVq0VBCc
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA1NHeRpSIpJ
"Sweet, so when do we start working on the song?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnzOszds0PI
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAqXzTEX9UFT
"We can start tomorrow," answered G-Dragon. "We can't just start writing right here and now."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAwovYNeQKtL
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAtqKpuRvbCM
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAMLgupRYm9F
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAT1Aqd6ExVl
"We go have fun," answered G-Dragon as he stood up from his seat.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAWKfq2Lg0Jj
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAOijuZfRBvM
"Yay!" Zoey and Christine squealed in delight like little kids.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAoCQfirAYjl
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAHtpEDsTmKO
"Fun?" I asked, looking surprised. "And where do you think we should go and have fun?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANARuyfZsymOg
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAm179RLSQ9v
"Follow me, and I'll show you my jagi." G-Dragon gave me a wink and started walking towards the door.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAfk8E7L1LVH
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA8bP0dS3Qud
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAiu8pJ4Ziws
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAxDsiHA6cGV
"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."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAesqLxvhF4c
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnkJ5QYi6p4
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANADOoxpZCtSZ
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA53Tg4MwIvH
"So, if anyone is coming with me, I'll be waiting outside in my car," said G-Dragon, and he left the room.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnVuBlUldou
1106Please respect copyright.PENANARm1ZQKiZ4i
"Well, I'm going," said Zoey as she stood up. "How about you, Sam?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAhzOy3HP3uz
1106Please respect copyright.PENANA3R6u8DQZXa
"No, count me out," I said. "I've had enough drama already."1106Please respect copyright.PENANANHfd5d8Qrr
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAdo5sqPFRzV
"Okay, but just know you're going to miss out on all the fun," said Zoey, and she quickly dashed out of the room.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ6RVFmkwM
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAY1KQbskc8g
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.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAGqZpysvPpV
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAyCgacSMDZP
"Aren't you going out yourself?" I asked him as I tapped my fingers on my knees.1106Please respect copyright.PENANApxV040lRSi
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAwgEgsjnfEN
"Nah, I don't have much to do today," said Daesung. "May I suggest that we go somewhere interesting?"1106Please respect copyright.PENANAtl064xCyfW
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAcyCcyAjsbL
"Yeah, sure. I need to get my mind off what's happened and come up with lyrics for the song."1106Please respect copyright.PENANAe2MEhmMpRf
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAaMWZFZFNrQ
"Okay, let's go," said Daesung.1106Please respect copyright.PENANA29FwXzEPV1
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAnKWYbejRqp
We both stood up from our chairs and left the recording room.1106Please respect copyright.PENANAtFrkTAMQZ0
1106Please respect copyright.PENANAlngeYoUnIB
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.
