"I feel like I'm back at school all over again," Zoey complained as she scratched her scalp, her hair already looking messy.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIqIbR6Ijr6
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOKtcGaPPNk
"Tell me about it," I said as I leaned back further on the couch. "I don't think I can take this anymore."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQSavxD9GNY
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9JhgeRVVz
"This is tiring!" said Daniel, who had his body and his face flat on the floor.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmDus2Xk3ug
1041Please respect copyright.PENANApZ1YrP1LYt
"Do we really have to know all of this?" Mike asked lazily as he lay on one of the couches alone.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3yOiZE2S6z
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsiB53LCd7t
"Do we have any other choice?" I asked him.1041Please respect copyright.PENANARSnUZwoHJq
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5CPH7XBg80
"Well, I've got one," said Christine, who sat beside me. "I can easily just pack up and fly back home."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4us0cb79Pc
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlemDKjQ34c
"You're bluffing, and you know it," said Daniel, still flat on the floor.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAj6RWEjEtRd
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhyGgkkdGf9
"Can we order coffee?" Zoey asked. "I need a lot of caffeine. Urgently."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIyfXcbGOED
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9gFTPJ9bB4
"You don't need coffee," said Mike. "A healthy breakfast filled with eggs, bacon, bread, and juice is all you need."1041Please respect copyright.PENANABPFYbzooPd
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUk9F7aIs7L
"Morning, Toxins," said Collins as he entered the lounge. "How's your reading going?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3bGKinxKZM
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9Nd7XtLHH0
"Reading? It's more like studying until you're brain dead," said Zoey. "Why do we have to know all of these rules?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqJQh5gzU6y
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5b0p3CmcVD
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlGOPSsE1YY
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgbhMsXIO4v
"And you think I would’ve done something about it?" Collins asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqQIPwHbZsu
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPHIO74rdja
"Yes!" the five of us replied simultaneously.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQIX5jTVYEq
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6GKY1yIuN
"Things are a lot more complicated than you think. You can wrap up now. You need to go for practice."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIXAnk1TZYM
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoUyGZmbhPR
"Finally! I thought you would never say that," said Daniel, who quickly got up from the floor.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7xE8mG2hHH
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdgJLq6Rk0a
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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2DWo7nzdcH
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeQELRzGmrh
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgRunelYxYA
1041Please respect copyright.PENANADLoO5VI8K6
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeDQJ35tNlh
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqXEtIEkfIk
"Okay, so get changed and meet us downstairs in ten minutes," said Collins.1041Please respect copyright.PENANATbVMiSbAjW
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7gULOmYNj5
"Aye, aye, captain," said Zoey, giving Collins a mocking hand salute. Collins rolled his eyes at her and left for the elevator.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jp2HdAh9M
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfyZ6BOIGWO
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyAtLEIDORN
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8A0KcOzpGr
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXEzhMC1XeR
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKOGigfS0Vs
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYL13Zjy4Tk
1041Please respect copyright.PENANADuLPM5OJUo
"Check who is at the door," Zoey said to me quietly.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAppN37VpsHQ
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAP3s4vT9uGP
"Why should I check?" I asked, also with my voice tuned down.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxDQHldOshL
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXqmUxMuEIZ
"Daa, you're the leader."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAF0ZuvsQDvf
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA02Xxj3HLWr
"And what if there's someone out there wanting to kill me?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlkNfM5FqOA
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoVsLlSpVTA
"You're one who isn't even afraid of watching horror movies. Just go check."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAutZ8pae0e9
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jw8sGzave
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYMeTRGxfh4
1041Please respect copyright.PENANASyt9TqriDR
"What the.....!"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWYJR8QiLPa
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pvcwiqepc
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWL7OvISikz
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcq44Djnzow
"Hey, BK," said G-Dragon with a dashing smile on his face. "Did you miss me?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAf419dq8evF
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnvxroiDbCa
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhsbDXlpOqB
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjZMwbo9pCG
"Hello? Sam, can you hear me?" he asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAc92SGdwobV
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbJiT1VWVze
I shook my head, and I found myself furrowing my eyebrows at him.1041Please respect copyright.PENANArgC40AFQPV
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPMbGbklqPx
"You should really stop doing that!" I said. "You almost gave me a heart attack."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAn4xsO22Wvr
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA745mTaLiVl
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYNlkRln2NI
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUa83gkNsBL
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQt5WS7HiG9
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAloIMUFMUx2
"Aren't you going to say anything, my little kitty?" G-Dragon asked as he smirked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVSrTlG0XRR
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAC7z9t96jNc
"I-uh-" I'm starting to lose my patience. "I hate you, Ji Yong."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhqEUTCOsY1
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAS4IhEBD9bt
"Says the girl who's still staring into my eyes and yearning to kiss me."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwz5fdJiCMy
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqHkVT6AGz5
That's it! I've had enough.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWpZ1GJXNCQ
1041Please respect copyright.PENANADdyx4jdiEK
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANARCjO5v8m90
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGnjJHFzIyN
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdO73U2V3Oz
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAe0PkEkVS2t
"I had some things to take care of," said G-Dragon. "Sorry, I couldn't come."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsEIIFmY8z9
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQZuuD8mpYw
"You better say sorry to Sam," said Christine. "It was her special day yesterday, and she was so upset that you didn't show."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaVl8gTWYtM
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAC3grb5UnVt
I quickly looked over at Christine, and I gave her the "I'm going to kill you" look.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3lIV6Sqts6
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmeGTUDXSob
"You see, she's still mad now," said Christine, pointing at me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANARAYD4Bv6bb
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAogkWzLu991
I rolled my eyes and placed my hand over my forehead. All this is giving me a headache.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAO6uv5SM1lz
1041Please respect copyright.PENANANKaPDz5e2y
"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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdkHSqjT7Y2
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAMSejX62Wh
"You better have come with something to make her forgive you, or else she will stay mad at you forever," said Mike.1041Please respect copyright.PENANARIEWbajHdp
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbpNuMrbljE
OMG! The last thing I need is for my brother to join in this charade.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAR4ySq7x95O
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAN1rQNcaHzp
"Don't worry, I've got just the thing to cheer her up," said G-Dragon.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAC8fRMSWDKD
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAddtRU8sbYA
I rolled my eyes, as I still had my back facing the others. What could he possibly do to cheer me up?1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYYAYraZCn3
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKDHrh0JURo
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?1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKHKhTERkjn
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdoCNaFqlS6
"How did you know I love roses?" I asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAo3ypYMPLwL
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAd9ODKtENQT
"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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFkdN8kwj3t
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhH7j0fBHlq
Oh, yeah. I forgot we had that.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnJhTBZUihl
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVbrr9qXi0I
I took the roses and sniffed them. They smelled lovely. At that moment, I forgot that I was even mad.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA77naLmQQ0b
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwSybpoQlXW
"So, you're not mad at me anymore?" G-Dragon asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAc8cV5DjczZ
1041Please respect copyright.PENANALgwXMDtCuu
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?1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXHMCTNHDcB
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAw9J0qZjst7
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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEvMD7pOGoh
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6VLZkeZVtw
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?1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgKtWlX1t3n
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvnclEdGodM
"Wow, thanks, GD," I said. "To be honest, I'm not mad at you for not being around yesterday."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ0MKGsMFz
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAClubWxWbkf
"I know. I just wanted to make up for it. And by the way, congratulations."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYFa1wIYyax
1041Please respect copyright.PENANASfU2kTeiOC
"Thanks." I couldn't stop blushing. In addition, it felt quite embarrassing.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAiI64KqvwoY
1041Please respect copyright.PENANATF8xhIo4Kk
"Aww, this video is going to go viral," said Zoey.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9szUtcEzXp
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhLIhyiZF0m
When I turned to face Zoey, I noticed that she had her phone camera pointed at us.1041Please respect copyright.PENANATqwPpP3Amg
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA50GmJSwC8t
"Zoey, are you recording this?" I asked even when I already knew the answer.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJ34lQgge5N
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGS7dic3UUB
"Yeah, who wouldn't?" Zoey asked. "There's nothing you can do about it, though. I've already posted it online."1041Please respect copyright.PENANATBCwepuHwS
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA39tCYgaRJx
"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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjbiTdqBJ0B
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAefQCHHim1J
"Whoa!" Zoey backed away a little as I approached. "Sam, chill out. It's just a video, okay? It's nothing serious."1041Please respect copyright.PENANASUgLesKB6q
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3eACOKyFX5
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgv4zmd5GhL
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhKEij1qetZ
"Great, Zoey," said Daniel. "You just made Sam more upset."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwcBgAkfQqw
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA95OJgPWp1c
"Sam, relax, okay?" said Zoey. "Don't worry; I'll delete it before anyone sees it."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAl5pGbUBQnm
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8UU3CBroek
When Zoey checked her phone, the look on her face made me realize that she was a little too late.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2bFhvcPkM
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAiEjwV5rCPn
"Whoops," Zoey said, as she gave me an apologetic look.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAez8fYhFO6r
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXCSBEFYaP3
"You just made things worse, didn't you?" Daniel asked as he shook his head.1041Please respect copyright.PENANABRg9TX5jV3
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAY4SBwAg645
"I'm so dead," I said, also shaking my head.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAt6wle4bdJJ
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkZl0yaVywn
"I'm sorry, Sam," said Zoey. "It already has 15 views. It's probably on YouTube since I posted it on my fan page."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbIRUf5C8aT
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAK0vXhYLhwe
"Sometimes I wonder why you're ever around me," I said through my teeth.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfSshGm7jVW
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAB30MMFC227
"Chill, B.K." said G-Dragon as he came to stand beside me. "What's done is done. Don't worry about a thing."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAT3X2n1ofxg
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAH7YemAFiWL
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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsiHGLpJoRo
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2kLPqJUoWr
"It looks like we've got G-Dragon to thank," said Mike. "You really know how to mess things up, Zoey."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfh2oBPggNA
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQrFaYNtDU1
"Thanks, Mike. You're making me feel ten times worse," said Zoey with a frown.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWEyllOhovZ
1041Please respect copyright.PENANACDSaLT999v
"Can we please put this behind us and continue practicing?" Daniel asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcFIV52wVKl
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA883IdXk7P9
"To be honest, I don't feel like it anymore," I said. "Zoey just ruined my mood."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmbIVypLzqm
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAla9867mz1O
"Hey, I said I'm sorry," said Zoey.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzRcjSSV1Ag
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZMMSHAliym
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEyCFWKpsq6
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4gSX2klWYb
"Oh, I completely forgot about that," said Christine.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAntJV3KA6Cl
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAffJBRP9NhM
"Let's go freshen up first," said Mike.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzDYHxjIuO7
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhZtmAiyJVD
"Let's do that," I said as I quickly took the box of chocolates away from G-Dragon. "And I'll be taking that."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXBUpKvmgUH
1041Please respect copyright.PENANACZ1XCJedlD
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2fqRClbkl3
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAg9P4ltNttG
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANASSV1kpeEds
1041Please respect copyright.PENANABFdalWnVAL
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?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPuGeZNqfMQ
1041Please respect copyright.PENANASGHeidsa00
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIK0ReIbOZ2
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2vKSjumsH
"I know what video you're talking about, Daesung," I said, trying to keep my cool.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAU3MYzvaJHL
1041Please respect copyright.PENANACanhS6oyW4
"Judging by the looks of things, Zoey must have done something, right?" Daesung asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbDdlolUkC8
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZiT6HcroJC
"She surely did," I replied as I continued to stare at her like a lion would at its prey.1041Please respect copyright.PENANArJvRadadCx
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmk8QNxJo5M
"Can we please stop talking about that?" Zoey asked. "I already feel awful about all of this, and you're making it worse."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdMpAYfaYyN
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOb9p0VqJs3
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANApiikcwhARh
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZsYgqaF14O
"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?1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtyPV7ZHx3P
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEpPEKjUFYD
"Oh. It looks like we all received the same notification," said Daniel. "Classic!"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQszpKrV5g6
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAycYvdN7tJW
"If I were you, Sam, I wouldn't even read the comments," said Daesung, also checking his phone.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5BKBYPHK3L
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9MvFr9XRqP
"What are they saying?" G-Dragon asked with a grin on his face as he went over to Daesung.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhnXmTScbfO
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeoaEjjkvx4
"I don't want to hear it," I said as I leaned back on the chair and put my phone back in my pocket.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAN1kmBRW0sV
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjGgi1pAXgc
"The most amazing couple ever," Christine read aloud in surprise.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAt4Aeklu23f
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAehydmCWeX6
"This isn't good," I said as I closed my eyes.1041Please respect copyright.PENANArxyYc9Kpwl
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQwAOk2IiAk
"Aww, so cute. These people just make the perfect couple. GD is so romantic," Mike also read out.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMaKDsJy4AY
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaeb2ofE7kx
"Please, stop reading the comments," I said, holding my head. I felt like it was about to explode.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAm03hpXJsFX
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFVqrHgTyZi
"Sorry, we'll try to keep it down," said Mike as he smirked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAux7aEYX7Qa
1041Please respect copyright.PENANADP9CII63JC
"Hey, guys, listen to this one," said G-Dragon. "I hate to admit this, but these two look so..."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9pb3p6MiCb
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhmpgwjKzax
"Enough, please!" I exclaimed. "The last thing I need is someone reading a comment that says you and I should get married."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOV2jZpQ3oT
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAF51yKUzt3o
"You're really good at guessing, Sam," said Daesung, his eyes still on the phone. "This comment says exactly that."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWtYHnDdTwA
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdpu7EDnm6e
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANApaTvH8pUSZ
1041Please respect copyright.PENANARFe3hTYKyL
"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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA65HBvJdgWn
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqkK74C8Qq3
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0jShuv5iRF
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzxW3SAJJn8
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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAO5QPGP3joD
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmLvbuKk2wx
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAy4ksAJFk41
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMvfhQnVNkX
"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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8KuOJuSv1N
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAopetTRCnTK
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAF1i2noaiNy
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjPmvuOhRWi
"Isn't that a good thing?" G-Dragon asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUL5u59nYSI
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvAz56Yxbdc
"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?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAa8nf4YXvq3
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAU6GQLLqCEC
"Mum will be furious that you didn't say anything about a boy," said Mike, with a wicked look on his face.1041Please respect copyright.PENANABqKTlOgYRk
1041Please respect copyright.PENANARduBDldhP7
"Yeah, that's my problem," I said to G-Dragon as I pointed my finger at Mike because of what he said. "My mother."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8Uhr8ZxwaY
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbe0yWxxX73
"She'll understand," said Daesung. "We're in a world of fame. Rumors are bound to fly around anyhow."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOtAgpJNczN
1041Please respect copyright.PENANANX4KcEp994
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhV7jGq2yHg
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6rHZj00hu6
"Mm, well, I'm lucky to be that special guy," said G-Dragon with that smile of his.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8XZRM5pfhD
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnuhLtcXQIN
"You're not helping, GD," I said as I shook my head.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAboV6XUtQ0r
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzBzBxHeP8v
The door flew open, and Taeyang, T.O.P., and Seungri came in.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAuYTZ22ytaT
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGKzckrTedv
"So this is where you are," said Taeyang. "Has anyone seen what's going on?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHaruwnlwzF
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAh9Tc79Bcwx
"If you're talking about Sam and G-Dragon's video going viral, we already know," said Christine.1041Please respect copyright.PENANABd5nkUz4hW
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAm0kigfBdsU
"Who posted the video?" T.O.P asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlM43JMV7Cv
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlLjE7Rb2Ls
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQtrtReAx7d
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAY5IH1quepb
"Eish, can you all stop looking at me like I'm a criminal? I did say I was sorry," said Zoey.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAE6D53CQCLw
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzbccKx0l3W
"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?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqV9KsbuQQ8
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAc8HUW5zkZm
"As clear as crystal," said Zoey, nodding her head like a little child.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAd52W8bNR53
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjMGQ5KHVUF
"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?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAg77Htu9Yi
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfskLP2rBMq
"I agree. Let's start," said Seungri as he took a seat and made himself comfortable.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAgFUN3uqia
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdmlWREsmmP
Everyone gathered in a circle, and for what seemed like minutes, we were just staring at each other in silence.1041Please respect copyright.PENANADpGkTDznEU
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUr0so8O0l1
"Are we going to just stare at each other?" I asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcjv5J0RwWA
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmoEg3qpQA3
"I thought you were spearheading this," said Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqBtT6F1t1n
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2EDLOjrg02
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAitEoAKR5JC
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7pl9PaFFUB
Zoey, sitting next to me, pulled me by the arm, drawing me closer to her so that she could whisper in my ear.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdRBsQo0Suq
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAErolIWb6zE
"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?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANATVUyuInvzi
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzMYJwGGKM6
"Wow, I never would've thought that you took the pamphlet and read it," I whispered back with a smile.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWr1lMBp1SI
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxJpWLzm0Yo
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcvjVbR56i3
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yf7lFvbLa
"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?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANATmgZp22kb0
1041Please respect copyright.PENANARpS0otlV14
"Do I have a choice?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlWxZcCscjv
1041Please respect copyright.PENANArFcF58n9qe
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsLfiO0uWJY
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3BjwUPBbHj
"Okay, so what do you think the song should be based on?" G-Dragon asked. "I would like everyone to bring out their opinions."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAt5cIzbEduR
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkFAq1Y2cQs
"Let me start," said Zoey. "I think we should do a love song."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEzIoWZeqpW
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJLRTKBSqMx
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQW4pmGEDeI
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAT1KJrANIdI
"I just had a change of heart."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoP2OnnCeq7
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEbGbMN89AA
"Well, that's a surprise."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWcpL03Dnvw
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPBbLEY5JYA
"Okay, well, I'll go with Zoey on this one," said Christine. "A love song will be perfect."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGzga7s0CuX
1041Please respect copyright.PENANABudgVBHt0T
"I think that's too cheesy," said Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmFuIANWRyz
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2OKKqMMs5n
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANABc3VTBdBN7
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqG9q7r7G8L
"Now you're talking," said G-Dragon. "Okay, so who all agrees with Sam that it should be an all-pop song?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1QrX7LIMJj
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1Dt9rzphe
Everyone except me raised his or her hand. I looked over at Zoey, and she gave me a wink.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAiUHnY0QR3y
1041Please respect copyright.PENANATM3lBLrG8Q
"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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFvbvvltoNF
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8LpVdMy9mS
"Fun and games," Mike blurted out.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqjN4UIl3n3
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPak1usL4Mh
"Boys, beach parties, and stuff," said Zoey. I hit my forehead with my hand when she said that.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvKZG7bc5IB
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8X8PKO2plE
"Pandas," said Seungri.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAR5kCz6Uhny
1041Please respect copyright.PENANASJmX4vfzLp
Zoey and I burst out laughing, and we both said, "Good one, Seungri!"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJtooZnbU1F
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhuPnwcZcDt
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQDH58NzjoK
1041Please respect copyright.PENANATJSDWQXoLn
"How about just making it a little more like a love song but still having that pop beat in it?" Taeyang asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANApyalGKS4G0
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAA1g0LfQ3un
"It ain't that bad, though," said Daesung. "But I think the song should be more about fun and something funky too."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAB51G9ni4Su
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKi4Bk7XsqI
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqoDiGCjJGH
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyDEk1NvpCT
"So, the song should be fun and have a catchy beat," said G-Dragon, considering everything.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEX3mKomZiR
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOiwbyccEFU
"Yeah, it should be a bit more like 'Fantastic Baby,'" said Daniel.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsGqgPkZgv2
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAo1GzsHfoAu
"You, Daniel, just read my mind," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXEHJ3fbHTB
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAyY0cZvp7D
"Okay, so we've got that figured out," said G-Dragon. "We'll have to start working on the lyrics and the beat."1041Please respect copyright.PENANANqVzTLn5vP
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAiWOygk39Wz
"Sam, you should write the lyrics," said Zoey.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgulQV3r8B8
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvOzT0gWJla
I looked at Zoey and gave her a look, telling her to shut up.1041Please respect copyright.PENANALioIV6HEHc
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhDGuSPw3yI
"Yeah, I hear she's a very good songwriter," said Seungri.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtK4jXAQ4Vg
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIfB5eZzgkS
"Well, I never write alone," I said shyly. I feel a little uncomfortable when people praise me for my songwriting.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAA1z1K7YC6T
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmq1g4Nojg0
"I'll help you," said G-Dragon. "But everyone will have to too."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ7bcYZBfU
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMmvMagC2oN
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAi7UcihR10n
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqKxutdc59C
"It's okay," said G-Dragon. "The two are our best dancers, so they'll come up with moves and be our choreographers."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgiXd0dACzw
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAs0x0chtrNB
"Sweet, so when do we start working on the song?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAH3CuIBjxrt
1041Please respect copyright.PENANArWZPtA1qPI
"We can start tomorrow," answered G-Dragon. "We can't just start writing right here and now."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGyttWeFie1
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEv2MAyhrXY
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAG21chzZHzD
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA88AzDblRl9
"We go have fun," answered G-Dragon as he stood up from his seat.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFIr8M6PnP1
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0D5A7unWYE
"Yay!" Zoey and Christine squealed in delight like little kids.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3UEDNyi1Pk
1041Please respect copyright.PENANABXbPXCotD6
"Fun?" I asked, looking surprised. "And where do you think we should go and have fun?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAuRwcjXNfdI
1041Please respect copyright.PENANANagU2YZ0Vv
"Follow me, and I'll show you my jagi." G-Dragon gave me a wink and started walking towards the door.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6fMi9on0ao
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVp6TSlaBO9
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAt37oRo6v44
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4iPmcn9Lis
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdUkxIcYZ69
1041Please respect copyright.PENANArdJXVQuJDX
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANADWoDxsRPFx
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXf7f7bTowV
"So, if anyone is coming with me, I'll be waiting outside in my car," said G-Dragon, and he left the room.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoT2T4buYwi
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAg3VqwX4oDM
"Well, I'm going," said Zoey as she stood up. "How about you, Sam?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANANMuv2XNlun
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA32r311Qznu
"No, count me out," I said. "I've had enough drama already."1041Please respect copyright.PENANATes76TCD0H
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9vnYKw5ECy
"Okay, but just know you're going to miss out on all the fun," said Zoey, and she quickly dashed out of the room.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXdNqAsKc7Y
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAU11kNKmaAE
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYhWqrsUpAo
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoXCph5YKJm
"Aren't you going out yourself?" I asked him as I tapped my fingers on my knees.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAiHD5EbUC7Y
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQVP6Jaqnk5
"Nah, I don't have much to do today," said Daesung. "May I suggest that we go somewhere interesting?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyzWTS9CcGN
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfPaD7R9utc
"Yeah, sure. I need to get my mind off what's happened and come up with lyrics for the song."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQJwXqRnNT2
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ukrei8Zb2
"Okay, let's go," said Daesung.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmMJcYvpCRi
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAORlM4uWQ2J
We both stood up from our chairs and left the recording room.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUUxlAO5TOM
1041Please respect copyright.PENANATrZPMwVGKQ
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.
