"I feel like I'm back at school all over again," Zoey complained as she scratched her scalp, her hair already looking messy.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAzI0QmTv0Xy
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAPdUr7cooM5
"Tell me about it," I said as I leaned back further on the couch. "I don't think I can take this anymore."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAdYch1EiefL
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAej1Zx0ryOH
"This is tiring!" said Daniel, who had his body and his face flat on the floor.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAGD1i5MPb1a
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAhf2mt89aWG
"Do we really have to know all of this?" Mike asked lazily as he lay on one of the couches alone.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAlN68Q8rsF1
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAGdDpCrH3dX
"Do we have any other choice?" I asked him.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAQcpwq9TUmp
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAuTwE8uHUqS
"Well, I've got one," said Christine, who sat beside me. "I can easily just pack up and fly back home."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMlYrdDDgxA
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAEsjJsAz7Ey
"You're bluffing, and you know it," said Daniel, still flat on the floor.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAInFjWwZdM2
1037Please respect copyright.PENANACI8YO0WuXk
"Can we order coffee?" Zoey asked. "I need a lot of caffeine. Urgently."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAZYnt0aQuc3
1037Please respect copyright.PENANArJGATCgmuC
"You don't need coffee," said Mike. "A healthy breakfast filled with eggs, bacon, bread, and juice is all you need."1037Please respect copyright.PENANA9fSefyFCHm
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4FN2n1lBx
"Morning, Toxins," said Collins as he entered the lounge. "How's your reading going?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANATrJgezrcPS
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAuQNoJxfSFE
"Reading? It's more like studying until you're brain dead," said Zoey. "Why do we have to know all of these rules?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAvv6vqqoRkv
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAyW220TriaT
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAArGZtpVqhR
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAmE6OiZbxKV
"And you think I would’ve done something about it?" Collins asked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAYYAtXpUBoX
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAM5ezTBsbSq
"Yes!" the five of us replied simultaneously.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAd0g0Arr9Eo
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAEaUpPa6KjG
"Things are a lot more complicated than you think. You can wrap up now. You need to go for practice."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAm0Y0Akaqhq
1037Please respect copyright.PENANArRq2P92pge
"Finally! I thought you would never say that," said Daniel, who quickly got up from the floor.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAidS2pXjxqd
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAroR8YCCLrg
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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAG9JmZWkPWS
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAwFDcZlDdK6
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAeK4n5KEMBF
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAgwKSrmUs1M
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAxwS2Mcehmb
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAvhoc7CDOjA
"Okay, so get changed and meet us downstairs in ten minutes," said Collins.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAzCQoBkeq7u
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAaBcdlNvbTl
"Aye, aye, captain," said Zoey, giving Collins a mocking hand salute. Collins rolled his eyes at her and left for the elevator.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAskCzfs4Gu1
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAsOLDsYXMpb
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7jw6aegZB
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAgpBYI0Z3vq
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANArMzYd5Jb3L
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAzeOZUbb9pM
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAs5qh0vBeKu
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAYa0xiSArPh
"Check who is at the door," Zoey said to me quietly.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAVC2HiIxnbb
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAbqZHFw7HSw
"Why should I check?" I asked, also with my voice tuned down.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAkQpnzMc0Tx
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAnvnh57HWt7
"Daa, you're the leader."1037Please respect copyright.PENANASkrF5P0tPG
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAiwqifeuTzI
"And what if there's someone out there wanting to kill me?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANA2xdtjnJPaK
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAD624To5Zrr
"You're one who isn't even afraid of watching horror movies. Just go check."1037Please respect copyright.PENANApB7bvE8fWZ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMuBYpArnki
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAXqzoNXv4Gi
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAUNk1yZrli1
"What the.....!"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAgrpjCH40Kp
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAakN8tq3TfS
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAcT7dx0LEWU
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAvn2gPXXDio
"Hey, BK," said G-Dragon with a dashing smile on his face. "Did you miss me?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAB6bHevkPZ6
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAfMKkJkQQCF
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAwzGWFCo7Pv
1037Please respect copyright.PENANApE5zuNFCNK
"Hello? Sam, can you hear me?" he asked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAfmPgAeIr7l
1037Please respect copyright.PENANArA3oEaXB1e
I shook my head, and I found myself furrowing my eyebrows at him.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMAi9OUTs9a
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA5Kwxi9LL1d
"You should really stop doing that!" I said. "You almost gave me a heart attack."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAeQFDPCLN8E
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA46BNNpJjNz
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANARFDFb4kEvJ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA2RsW4HVQR1
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAtyheIhT2ff
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA1WgOJMpXzY
"Aren't you going to say anything, my little kitty?" G-Dragon asked as he smirked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAs499cZaLBE
1037Please respect copyright.PENANACjrpsPD5gT
"I-uh-" I'm starting to lose my patience. "I hate you, Ji Yong."1037Please respect copyright.PENANA94q3mJMsLU
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMGRUCp85Mq
"Says the girl who's still staring into my eyes and yearning to kiss me."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ40CQwoSX
1037Please respect copyright.PENANARoG9kxZ5ik
That's it! I've had enough.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAFfpipAZhPb
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAIfknjamaJU
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAf4XmtPTJoJ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAZOEOHDoViE
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAIZ4vHByppJ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAC7R4qlzO8C
"I had some things to take care of," said G-Dragon. "Sorry, I couldn't come."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAFBfBAmvo2z
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAlK8fQCRQdT
"You better say sorry to Sam," said Christine. "It was her special day yesterday, and she was so upset that you didn't show."1037Please respect copyright.PENANACx24RCL3Pa
1037Please respect copyright.PENANApdTuVxSGu7
I quickly looked over at Christine, and I gave her the "I'm going to kill you" look.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAck8y5XTksB
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA19UqaNtOoq
"You see, she's still mad now," said Christine, pointing at me.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAGi8VqCoZJI
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAk0cfewRght
I rolled my eyes and placed my hand over my forehead. All this is giving me a headache.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAqCerEnRLrW
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAtw1ZIVgggs
"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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAn5EaoCJAzV
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAKjXawHhbtM
"You better have come with something to make her forgive you, or else she will stay mad at you forever," said Mike.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAWKYxnLAfAv
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAuVZNkaHIar
OMG! The last thing I need is for my brother to join in this charade.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAFHgOLP3zfv
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAoxIT3cXUW0
"Don't worry, I've got just the thing to cheer her up," said G-Dragon.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAK0FIMGDwgS
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAS0wXpzzFRb
I rolled my eyes, as I still had my back facing the others. What could he possibly do to cheer me up?1037Please respect copyright.PENANAdGY5VTAHSS
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA8XGxmwj1KN
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?1037Please respect copyright.PENANAeQHK5snasC
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAUTfzOR7RkC
"How did you know I love roses?" I asked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAPoodobsP82
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA2fWEroMhKa
"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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAGMolxMDBWt
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAoXbYi9aBys
Oh, yeah. I forgot we had that.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAPz7gOi8Brb
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAt5OuOwNd3W
I took the roses and sniffed them. They smelled lovely. At that moment, I forgot that I was even mad.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAj041XeMIes
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAm3Q3zflJfP
"So, you're not mad at me anymore?" G-Dragon asked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAFr4JWsgslB
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA69AezKWPIa
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?1037Please respect copyright.PENANAhqfGRIFkCg
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAPGFOWQKMAm
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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAwtP0cwBhnU
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAt3odexEeAr
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?1037Please respect copyright.PENANAnqQxgY9vor
1037Please respect copyright.PENANABAY3nRtf1R
"Wow, thanks, GD," I said. "To be honest, I'm not mad at you for not being around yesterday."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAwDafLnUH1j
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAqpKrlnCvj3
"I know. I just wanted to make up for it. And by the way, congratulations."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAy0fZw0UkJl
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAjOJgUpIdsE
"Thanks." I couldn't stop blushing. In addition, it felt quite embarrassing.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAdurJiu9ut8
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAYruXjwDiUW
"Aww, this video is going to go viral," said Zoey.1037Please respect copyright.PENANARpsm2jl38d
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA28t5iqAlW3
When I turned to face Zoey, I noticed that she had her phone camera pointed at us.1037Please respect copyright.PENANALdKZlJrmEJ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANALCnsnVsu0s
"Zoey, are you recording this?" I asked even when I already knew the answer.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAWE1XuaJ7mm
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA5s4Mwab0TJ
"Yeah, who wouldn't?" Zoey asked. "There's nothing you can do about it, though. I've already posted it online."1037Please respect copyright.PENANARWexXKq6fr
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAVRc8OIlU6l
"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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAtEtHtDLmuB
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAa98i4Bbh5i
"Whoa!" Zoey backed away a little as I approached. "Sam, chill out. It's just a video, okay? It's nothing serious."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAnMvDSAcjXC
1037Please respect copyright.PENANApHV3hNqzBy
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAoE7SpDlZsf
1037Please respect copyright.PENANABB5nSB8xq1
"Great, Zoey," said Daniel. "You just made Sam more upset."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAFcBh5gAHnb
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAvpA8fkuXCx
"Sam, relax, okay?" said Zoey. "Don't worry; I'll delete it before anyone sees it."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAfMcK3oiRx6
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAIsdKWfd37V
When Zoey checked her phone, the look on her face made me realize that she was a little too late.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAlunFPD6Tsj
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAfBjBAhtjwa
"Whoops," Zoey said, as she gave me an apologetic look.1037Please respect copyright.PENANADyxP1D86hJ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAccQ0BKx7vg
"You just made things worse, didn't you?" Daniel asked as he shook his head.1037Please respect copyright.PENANApieeV193ml
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAVqSSdBan2r
"I'm so dead," I said, also shaking my head.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAQrDNPDd01c
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAfiBQIsxoMv
"I'm sorry, Sam," said Zoey. "It already has 15 views. It's probably on YouTube since I posted it on my fan page."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAoK7DZ1pOma
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA9OKQo0BYJ2
"Sometimes I wonder why you're ever around me," I said through my teeth.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAdjbvaAyvY4
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAITFd3Ybc5m
"Chill, B.K." said G-Dragon as he came to stand beside me. "What's done is done. Don't worry about a thing."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAyUOaP2JSNJ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA6JU8K6m882
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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANA3bvjLMgBlY
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4nRhmgxOg
"It looks like we've got G-Dragon to thank," said Mike. "You really know how to mess things up, Zoey."1037Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kqm07ZPDs
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAeppZvJKDEs
"Thanks, Mike. You're making me feel ten times worse," said Zoey with a frown.1037Please respect copyright.PENANALAYn4V3zfi
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAc12GmyNIUE
"Can we please put this behind us and continue practicing?" Daniel asked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAw1FfjTTclr
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAF2hVfbSoMA
"To be honest, I don't feel like it anymore," I said. "Zoey just ruined my mood."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAlKgyh7D8H6
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAVCDknoH5o2
"Hey, I said I'm sorry," said Zoey.1037Please respect copyright.PENANANnQgXui3oJ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA3M29xOpsmD
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAdc1tB2zOd9
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAcIB1HnRHYE
"Oh, I completely forgot about that," said Christine.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAL0Ug9E26CC
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAqaOYMXVaML
"Let's go freshen up first," said Mike.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAkPIPqfrpg2
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAJz3aOLlGzK
"Let's do that," I said as I quickly took the box of chocolates away from G-Dragon. "And I'll be taking that."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAclALTnvzi1
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAgnbQMcg0ig
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANARu1pOXfgTN
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAAOArUNlX9Q
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANArSee4hvKR5
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMDk80SOHSw
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?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAfqlep2UiFQ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAa6LPKKVr3v
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANA1krGEs0rKZ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA6t83rXrrKX
"I know what video you're talking about, Daesung," I said, trying to keep my cool.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAwXZXCN6Wmn
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAsoq0HwTBUj
"Judging by the looks of things, Zoey must have done something, right?" Daesung asked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAzbGZ8UoZbH
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAvHpxaaKccM
"She surely did," I replied as I continued to stare at her like a lion would at its prey.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAKEgnhaYrgD
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAO8PWqf3htk
"Can we please stop talking about that?" Zoey asked. "I already feel awful about all of this, and you're making it worse."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAxuGfsRBYYR
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAtQDwWrXNuK
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANA8KIM5tGf7u
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAPLQW9oJ9r8
"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?1037Please respect copyright.PENANANlHju6M19H
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAUanstI64X4
"Oh. It looks like we all received the same notification," said Daniel. "Classic!"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAB331oBWQrl
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAO6MUYFSkUY
"If I were you, Sam, I wouldn't even read the comments," said Daesung, also checking his phone.1037Please respect copyright.PENANArFZQsQiFuw
1037Please respect copyright.PENANApg2ApmAaWA
"What are they saying?" G-Dragon asked with a grin on his face as he went over to Daesung.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAfqguw19xve
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAniGP9i79ky
"I don't want to hear it," I said as I leaned back on the chair and put my phone back in my pocket.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAUiAoDI9P3j
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAW8k3CBNhFA
"The most amazing couple ever," Christine read aloud in surprise.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAqnr5dOVgjV
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA9YrWgny7ZD
"This isn't good," I said as I closed my eyes.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAThKl9pYjxt
1037Please respect copyright.PENANANO9uQBzKZJ
"Aww, so cute. These people just make the perfect couple. GD is so romantic," Mike also read out.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMn2MbyprFU
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8ddom2eZL
"Please, stop reading the comments," I said, holding my head. I felt like it was about to explode.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAE1xpfX0y8o
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAB1VQF4IFeV
"Sorry, we'll try to keep it down," said Mike as he smirked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANASjSXaDB2mJ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAP8G94ogsUL
"Hey, guys, listen to this one," said G-Dragon. "I hate to admit this, but these two look so..."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAiMUF0RYPSi
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAgNJ4wRgDW3
"Enough, please!" I exclaimed. "The last thing I need is someone reading a comment that says you and I should get married."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAn8COvlhpSc
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAdXt0eben9U
"You're really good at guessing, Sam," said Daesung, his eyes still on the phone. "This comment says exactly that."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAbukiwZUoTE
1037Please respect copyright.PENANALXsvzlIJF7
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAu5EfVvRH1o
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAW8uz3fkVh4
"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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAA5gMqubEoz
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAPoxUOliaEf
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMRiB7qcStX
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA6qGuJidAJL
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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAQhfoWlO9y6
1037Please respect copyright.PENANARTfU1kFl2b
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAwnItdZe56M
1037Please respect copyright.PENANADPWPgFnQQ5
"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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAWF4P8MQpV7
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAWC5JCucqGp
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANA1MAQIgHl4L
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAXdTeLFRGh3
"Isn't that a good thing?" G-Dragon asked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAg1ssmE6T41
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAbCefuFtD5U
"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?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAyi8PXOrhLa
1037Please respect copyright.PENANACMNla6cO07
"Mum will be furious that you didn't say anything about a boy," said Mike, with a wicked look on his face.1037Please respect copyright.PENANArVFHX9kV1W
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAUXiaquZUmF
"Yeah, that's my problem," I said to G-Dragon as I pointed my finger at Mike because of what he said. "My mother."1037Please respect copyright.PENANA05bcqOcIFL
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAxFWBg2Qqk3
"She'll understand," said Daesung. "We're in a world of fame. Rumors are bound to fly around anyhow."1037Please respect copyright.PENANA821XoxR7y2
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAptgqWPbzYp
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAhLBEjog4Gi
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAQm5okKlU5E
"Mm, well, I'm lucky to be that special guy," said G-Dragon with that smile of his.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAXPXXX7zYsq
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAdxgr9qyuwn
"You're not helping, GD," I said as I shook my head.1037Please respect copyright.PENANALghNu2TL3c
1037Please respect copyright.PENANASG3HemcWc7
The door flew open, and Taeyang, T.O.P., and Seungri came in.1037Please respect copyright.PENANASc1EMZe5WV
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAVrrtkALfdY
"So this is where you are," said Taeyang. "Has anyone seen what's going on?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAZ44l0wR5Wl
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAmmNT4nSexf
"If you're talking about Sam and G-Dragon's video going viral, we already know," said Christine.1037Please respect copyright.PENANALzFQrwsg1h
1037Please respect copyright.PENANARCnHgdA8Nm
"Who posted the video?" T.O.P asked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANA68VM2lp3BO
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAbZlLE3bXQK
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAIUSLFzdBgj
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAvCAafMmIc6
"Eish, can you all stop looking at me like I'm a criminal? I did say I was sorry," said Zoey.1037Please respect copyright.PENANA71ZXQ9jCHk
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA6u8tAlV2SO
"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?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAxu8dfxUyXi
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAFQkcwtPApW
"As clear as crystal," said Zoey, nodding her head like a little child.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAm0swgpdiPh
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA1AMdhJck3X
"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?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAhldJsRvRfq
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA6qFbbN3d63
"I agree. Let's start," said Seungri as he took a seat and made himself comfortable.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAIra9bwBcHs
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAlP1e3Jjx2f
Everyone gathered in a circle, and for what seemed like minutes, we were just staring at each other in silence.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMkDQ5vGd02
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAkH3P846GOQ
"Are we going to just stare at each other?" I asked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAKEP820w7wr
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAG1F3XfdXDg
"I thought you were spearheading this," said Taeyang.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAqBnn57OYwQ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAeQCbN5UE3R
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAAxcvLBBu0Q
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAuc7K3kAb5K
Zoey, sitting next to me, pulled me by the arm, drawing me closer to her so that she could whisper in my ear.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAEgyOXSS75K
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAFAg5aNIF0I
"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?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANADhPCojNwPB
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAa2Ew7Vgjew
"Wow, I never would've thought that you took the pamphlet and read it," I whispered back with a smile.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAz1Nufvm5IB
1037Please respect copyright.PENANABBvTx9mufK
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANALaD9rU9TMo
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAv4neLwPS0H
"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?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANALgy9idB7C2
1037Please respect copyright.PENANACf8NmEfjhJ
"Do I have a choice?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANA2dsm7Kvyoz
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAYem4IbBZqG
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAr8fZIUzHlb
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA0SAf4LTNY4
"Okay, so what do you think the song should be based on?" G-Dragon asked. "I would like everyone to bring out their opinions."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAsrOKhGMXrT
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAE6MajOHbCq
"Let me start," said Zoey. "I think we should do a love song."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAJG3eFvKZLy
1037Please respect copyright.PENANACms1G9Bebh
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAAt0OCjcjvf
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAHHiTQWfIj6
"I just had a change of heart."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAFdbDrBk7dZ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAcoCYxKxXo4
"Well, that's a surprise."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAjoGorO87VA
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAy4THgZuhbS
"Okay, well, I'll go with Zoey on this one," said Christine. "A love song will be perfect."1037Please respect copyright.PENANA3turSuNOfH
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAmoHOK0QAgq
"I think that's too cheesy," said Taeyang.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAZgyBulTdWq
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAHvWM7bY7OS
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANA2T1LyLPUmm
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAxDmAAIbpp2
"Now you're talking," said G-Dragon. "Okay, so who all agrees with Sam that it should be an all-pop song?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAGucZv38RtC
1037Please respect copyright.PENANApbe2QY00He
Everyone except me raised his or her hand. I looked over at Zoey, and she gave me a wink.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAmXEbJKJ6MC
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAajUtLztSmM
"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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANADZ2HQ1rV5P
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA41ZWSY22Ya
"Fun and games," Mike blurted out.1037Please respect copyright.PENANADxfkwewfVE
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAkx5EC8DLCV
"Boys, beach parties, and stuff," said Zoey. I hit my forehead with my hand when she said that.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAW6FrW12DQm
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA7QjZC1Z5eq
"Pandas," said Seungri.1037Please respect copyright.PENANApv3V2kCBgF
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAPLLxj24hSz
Zoey and I burst out laughing, and we both said, "Good one, Seungri!"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAVFfqGrvy95
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAjctFZuzUYJ
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANABMWHIzVXvm
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAPIFFRzmjHe
"How about just making it a little more like a love song but still having that pop beat in it?" Taeyang asked.1037Please respect copyright.PENANA6ryn1BlLF6
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAXSV2EYQCGr
"It ain't that bad, though," said Daesung. "But I think the song should be more about fun and something funky too."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAzyTfLWSUCQ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAuq062IaycG
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4uWZYCsgD
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAokFv3XuHOm
"So, the song should be fun and have a catchy beat," said G-Dragon, considering everything.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAgqb3wLenU8
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAHGa9A0pLGw
"Yeah, it should be a bit more like 'Fantastic Baby,'" said Daniel.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAbMRlGg7k8c
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAai4FQtSzB2
"You, Daniel, just read my mind," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1037Please respect copyright.PENANA8solav84k0
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAdfbrWC8KvF
"Okay, so we've got that figured out," said G-Dragon. "We'll have to start working on the lyrics and the beat."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAXbvOfNY6zJ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANASpQkxR9sYI
"Sam, you should write the lyrics," said Zoey.1037Please respect copyright.PENANADTZKuHmU2H
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAfkljS05wWK
I looked at Zoey and gave her a look, telling her to shut up.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAIQw2cHeilF
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA7rObGelNUa
"Yeah, I hear she's a very good songwriter," said Seungri.1037Please respect copyright.PENANADdVyUE0Qtu
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAykIETEUjsI
"Well, I never write alone," I said shyly. I feel a little uncomfortable when people praise me for my songwriting.1037Please respect copyright.PENANA2O4uYwVrg0
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAkMXsxq9RhY
"I'll help you," said G-Dragon. "But everyone will have to too."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAsxva3Gv6g3
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAm2hOSGXUMU
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAr4lwcQ4JaA
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA4HnfWacr5L
"It's okay," said G-Dragon. "The two are our best dancers, so they'll come up with moves and be our choreographers."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6jpdIlYjk
1037Please respect copyright.PENANARH1V6Et3lr
"Sweet, so when do we start working on the song?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAlFGKjDVrzK
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAt1MXihpIyz
"We can start tomorrow," answered G-Dragon. "We can't just start writing right here and now."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAbGqtb0MrRc
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAqmHrzrmcD5
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAKqumiOku36
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA4HLAFNpaB3
"We go have fun," answered G-Dragon as he stood up from his seat.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAx8JrwerbYk
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAP5GZw22wRA
"Yay!" Zoey and Christine squealed in delight like little kids.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAsQkZAoJGby
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA45H1z9bmrZ
"Fun?" I asked, looking surprised. "And where do you think we should go and have fun?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAgI6hXDPNDq
1037Please respect copyright.PENANADzFRZtFUzJ
"Follow me, and I'll show you my jagi." G-Dragon gave me a wink and started walking towards the door.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAwgST1hkcA0
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAF0B37jdlEK
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANA4JDmwcKmWQ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA98UM5rjq3r
"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."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAkEc97VdXSt
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAm3CbbBjjRF
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANA78g75ffLrZ
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA1x42Hadh3f
"So, if anyone is coming with me, I'll be waiting outside in my car," said G-Dragon, and he left the room.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMx2dMZujGI
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAyObVAYJSNL
"Well, I'm going," said Zoey as she stood up. "How about you, Sam?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAgwFypCoLId
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAyOWt53iQDW
"No, count me out," I said. "I've had enough drama already."1037Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9q3GUIp95
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAruXVfuWdK5
"Okay, but just know you're going to miss out on all the fun," said Zoey, and she quickly dashed out of the room.1037Please respect copyright.PENANASMu9aaibU1
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAesiFoVLL7N
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.1037Please respect copyright.PENANA4sSotYESTF
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA08tN4fsIJK
"Aren't you going out yourself?" I asked him as I tapped my fingers on my knees.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAcjyj4WRmmP
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAD7sQebSA4W
"Nah, I don't have much to do today," said Daesung. "May I suggest that we go somewhere interesting?"1037Please respect copyright.PENANAeauqbOXFih
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAB8Nf7izoQQ
"Yeah, sure. I need to get my mind off what's happened and come up with lyrics for the song."1037Please respect copyright.PENANA0lZ3o9suHB
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAKgEPuKSgJJ
"Okay, let's go," said Daesung.1037Please respect copyright.PENANAh1COrU7AyW
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAS4V7ch0p85
We both stood up from our chairs and left the recording room.1037Please respect copyright.PENANA3boCkrxN5d
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAOEL2dCGJJ0
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.
