The water felt like a 726Please respect copyright.PENANAanrFAusxjm
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 726Please respect copyright.PENANAWnzFUONPbg
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7UkcBl7je
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 726Please respect copyright.PENANAyiYZfY3jxo
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAHDK4DNaxEg
breathe. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdTn3DpmW1N
I pushed myself upwards 726Please respect copyright.PENANAVi7j689nCP
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of726Please respect copyright.PENANA4LY9FwIbMt
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 726Please respect copyright.PENANABu1Ofocqsv
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 726Please respect copyright.PENANACKf72erhNn
edge.726Please respect copyright.PENANA2LwBtkEwu7
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.726Please respect copyright.PENANAzEoMLOfBFO
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.726Please respect copyright.PENANAiF5jcfgGRr
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.726Please respect copyright.PENANAkmYwg9hsZW
I looked ridiculously 726Please respect copyright.PENANAMyN8aFK8w7
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 726Please respect copyright.PENANAuwat58JVpH
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2ICrgIIUUf
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 726Please respect copyright.PENANASECiL3RG7b
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 726Please respect copyright.PENANAfVVaxdh8Zz
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.726Please respect copyright.PENANAar5J6OiHB3
I looked around me and 726Please respect copyright.PENANAPeD6kymJQm
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAPM0Ut0PUP3
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 726Please respect copyright.PENANA35LvAZwZxT
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 726Please respect copyright.PENANAtVJiJVk8dd
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.726Please respect copyright.PENANAVKA3Rist6x
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."726Please respect copyright.PENANAzHjtx6NdNb
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."726Please respect copyright.PENANAKjfdfczhWy
I heard Zoey and the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAQI9QSiLxWi
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on726Please respect copyright.PENANA2RYshRAQ1T
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.726Please respect copyright.PENANAuyCeZnoaDA
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAVCuQrrQmIv
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's726Please respect copyright.PENANAAaDxQD52bE
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 726Please respect copyright.PENANANNGUG1AiEn
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."726Please respect copyright.PENANAeRgAxEmVlO
"I already told you, I'm726Please respect copyright.PENANAYnbUTfivNb
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I726Please respect copyright.PENANAcmIMUuh4sO
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 726Please respect copyright.PENANADqzmxzCkyH
from anyone.726Please respect copyright.PENANAFFKdP8RuvP
I made my way towards GD726Please respect copyright.PENANAKa4e332XBO
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what726Please respect copyright.PENANAXa80SjDRDo
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 726Please respect copyright.PENANAcG8tQPH6LH
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.726Please respect copyright.PENANAc2uZ0O3vDc
"Oh, man, Sam," said 726Please respect copyright.PENANAiZfN2l2EjJ
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 726Please respect copyright.PENANAEVZgHqlpQy
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 726Please respect copyright.PENANACxml6TlNHP
game. Hope you didn't mind."726Please respect copyright.PENANAkVzTGwp3JT
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."726Please respect copyright.PENANA0vAeCR4RPX
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."726Please respect copyright.PENANAqR8vkr9h2U
"I told you, our 726Please respect copyright.PENANAGV6lnOasDz
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 726Please respect copyright.PENANA1njI56fZd5
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 726Please respect copyright.PENANAMN72f7Qo8N
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJBB9grykNp
Daesung.726Please respect copyright.PENANA2TuBuRuJvq
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAk205VxGZPx
I dialled Lee's number 726Please respect copyright.PENANA9DKcNStwqA
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdkwY5Y3iiZ
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAOmKdqSIycG
They would know soon enough.726Please respect copyright.PENANASAuhiKWzUA
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.726Please respect copyright.PENANAzTFB3jrPHB
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.726Please respect copyright.PENANAmSiElXxGxO
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAbA3r11a1dS
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"726Please respect copyright.PENANA2F1G4V2rz3
"No, not yet. But you 726Please respect copyright.PENANAD3IUWLPyEG
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And726Please respect copyright.PENANApa02Qg2pWl
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."726Please respect copyright.PENANAGsfuDHIq8a
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."726Please respect copyright.PENANAeEN8En8mU3
"Okay, I'll be waiting."726Please respect copyright.PENANAm2S8sbkjzv
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.726Please respect copyright.PENANAxLjUZnIlt7
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"726Please respect copyright.PENANA3ieBm9pRVX
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."726Please respect copyright.PENANAddQgjTbpjY
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAeoc9Cq3DDD
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."726Please respect copyright.PENANAzi9OnASzCE
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.726Please respect copyright.PENANAxGvT1MhfU8
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."726Please respect copyright.PENANAJpskjDSR48
I shook my head. I was 726Please respect copyright.PENANAwFOHJTKgQA
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 726Please respect copyright.PENANA67beTazPaS
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 726Please respect copyright.PENANAryAEfL9toA
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.726Please respect copyright.PENANAogIpURtUAt
After walking a few feet726Please respect copyright.PENANA6tScgB5oV0
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 726Please respect copyright.PENANA8pAibduAXR
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was726Please respect copyright.PENANAqJmdpaJLki
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 726Please respect copyright.PENANAnWJytZs1uk
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.726Please respect copyright.PENANAqinKu71Gkx
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAx3RkWZa5Ks
None of them answered as726Please respect copyright.PENANAP1UnGn4pP4
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAMnQmvxEBi1
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 726Please respect copyright.PENANARFMyFF3hUl
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAFNgfskNOWM
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.726Please respect copyright.PENANAZR871diq36
"I wasn't going to say 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0cJpfLwVP1
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing726Please respect copyright.PENANAenkWQnpEpD
you would want to hear from me is advice."726Please respect copyright.PENANApzW3DJv9ks
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAoPl7NzqItv
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.726Please respect copyright.PENANAmQTTiDDE8g
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."726Please respect copyright.PENANADIWBTpmVNb
"I'm still upset, though."726Please respect copyright.PENANA3RV9OkPSRq
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."726Please respect copyright.PENANABNgjkMEY5O
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."726Please respect copyright.PENANA2nsAF5oI8s
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."726Please respect copyright.PENANA82zaUZETkv
I gave TOP an assuring 726Please respect copyright.PENANAuiN6sVzyXU
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way726Please respect copyright.PENANANoXnFRN9pY
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 726Please respect copyright.PENANA4PhJxvsIDd
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I726Please respect copyright.PENANAFc1FEber8s
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't726Please respect copyright.PENANAma3JuqM0of
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 726Please respect copyright.PENANAMXQMdCtAvu
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.726Please respect copyright.PENANA0BCzcj3KpO
We all found ourselves 726Please respect copyright.PENANAIqdjUuNFtO
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins726Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pw0Roc3vF
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 726Please respect copyright.PENANADqhTAvvS6B
were waiting for me. 726Please respect copyright.PENANA99AvL4LAb4
"Hey, Sam, you don't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAKWZk1b0TaQ
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 726Please respect copyright.PENANAWi9F7dS86F
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.726Please respect copyright.PENANAGeAJ1aJHbG
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."726Please respect copyright.PENANAFi0DCfGLUR
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 726Please respect copyright.PENANAQoqe5MqAoj
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 726Please respect copyright.PENANABtrJh7J8tH
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch726Please respect copyright.PENANANrjZAW93Bo
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAa5pTahhXa3
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.726Please respect copyright.PENANAcWBzzwMnJ8
I had my eyes closed 726Please respect copyright.PENANADlrpDiKMHm
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found726Please respect copyright.PENANAAhNwoR0Jl7
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAXE94WNdAuL
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."726Please respect copyright.PENANAuIHIanwYUj
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.726Please respect copyright.PENANAq7oPumVB1e
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."726Please respect copyright.PENANAxKVCh46Hqa
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."726Please respect copyright.PENANAN9hkSXnp7q
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."726Please respect copyright.PENANAoy2LhO0CnL
Taeyang led me to his 726Please respect copyright.PENANANVg8kqbJ0D
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 726Please respect copyright.PENANAcuFGdr9uWp
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 726Please respect copyright.PENANA5Tgt2qg1LM
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.726Please respect copyright.PENANAV6k9UgnSFP
In about thirty minutes,726Please respect copyright.PENANAUaX04LRnnV
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 726Please respect copyright.PENANA8QhUdqfpkJ
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAF6sNBKdef4
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 726Please respect copyright.PENANAj3CayDD4XC
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 726Please respect copyright.PENANAmpRP3BDJcZ
appeared out of the elevator.726Please respect copyright.PENANA8Wbhqjouud
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAC1KBhmv5N1
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.726Please respect copyright.PENANAF5cjUB0RLw
Lee who stood behind 726Please respect copyright.PENANAukh8aQot28
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 726Please respect copyright.PENANA6NHcMqrVpM
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 726Please respect copyright.PENANAySovt4etr1
other things in mind.726Please respect copyright.PENANARnWUQpEiN3
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAHhABNyHy4P
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 726Please respect copyright.PENANA9B3vI3ZkM6
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 726Please respect copyright.PENANAzUIPUJLYl4
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.726Please respect copyright.PENANAWx500qsFCz
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAkUVjAWTF3n
"We didn't just go there to have fun," I said, with my head down. "If there's anyone to blame for all this, it's me."726Please respect copyright.PENANAu6dX1bRbLu
There was an awkward 726Please respect copyright.PENANA1ls8brQM0h
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,726Please respect copyright.PENANACzdPf17vwu
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.726Please respect copyright.PENANArOL1OZWjGr
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAmDaDxHSMY4
"Well, I hear the press 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7oaM9NHLgG
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon726Please respect copyright.PENANANR8Kzpin8Y
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."726Please respect copyright.PENANAGqOaaI19K1
"That won't be 726Please respect copyright.PENANAAsd9CtZJFI
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZozkBHrOGI
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to726Please respect copyright.PENANAQCSrsaCgRo
go to the press looking all wet."726Please respect copyright.PENANAKa8V4CfDxO
I breathed out a sigh of726Please respect copyright.PENANAGdkBFwMHFW
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1rDjyv4Hp
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.726Please respect copyright.PENANAgYD2EgDTZO
"In the meantime, you go726Please respect copyright.PENANAcfBiSNJzak
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 726Please respect copyright.PENANAydRBWQyoOD
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."726Please respect copyright.PENANAyD1TKmXnxN
I nodded my head in 726Please respect copyright.PENANA4widpbKQCl
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 726Please respect copyright.PENANAhwSF17KeZk
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.726Please respect copyright.PENANAikSqCcCVUb
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.726Please respect copyright.PENANAKrdqa1eKal
"Alright," I said 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7T1yhxLT6W
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 726Please respect copyright.PENANATmYtzVpsI6
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like726Please respect copyright.PENANAK5s7xcLi6L
I was only making things worse.726Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ1yVS6p9k
Before I turned to leave726Please respect copyright.PENANA2NqdPtFtIT
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdmh4korQfE
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 726Please respect copyright.PENANAPkF8Nc2IDb
one.726Please respect copyright.PENANAK9JDc2SCOT
***726Please respect copyright.PENANAoiwbSfNQI4
I sat on the couch all 726Please respect copyright.PENANA03Cxr3VWv0
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued726Please respect copyright.PENANAVhShKjPQOK
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"726Please respect copyright.PENANAjD1pdikkTc
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 726Please respect copyright.PENANA1dnZqqzSnn
I had a box of paper 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdVGcD4NKJk
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my726Please respect copyright.PENANAugHFYuvoD9
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdne1BL1E7i
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.726Please respect copyright.PENANAtjF955qdTM
I continued watching the726Please respect copyright.PENANArpckDtOAv0
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 726Please respect copyright.PENANAiUMyVAXCHP
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.726Please respect copyright.PENANA9XmoNJckuL
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.726Please respect copyright.PENANA1LPFv9Z4DH
"Never better," I said, 726Please respect copyright.PENANATxGSMjAbFC
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 726Please respect copyright.PENANAIiJcu1Xsci
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."726Please respect copyright.PENANAZFPZxSDYLk
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.726Please respect copyright.PENANAnDLbAuYSMi
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.726Please respect copyright.PENANAZksbK6ytkm
"Ya, I'm actually enjoying it," I said as I put in a spoonful of chicken soup in my mouth. Mmm, it was so tasty.726Please respect copyright.PENANAha1Ln3gFtZ
"And the others?" 726Please respect copyright.PENANAqmsaR8wpRs
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.726Please respect copyright.PENANASuLsOhDgej
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.726Please respect copyright.PENANANkYSLmEixu
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANArtfCVDm4Qo
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.726Please respect copyright.PENANASwO5l8dyFg
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.726Please respect copyright.PENANAccAOkuCsCF
"You don't know or you are?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAw1WEzOUWf5
I shrugged my shoulders. To be completely honest, I am still mad, but then again, I felt like I wasn't and that felt confusing.726Please respect copyright.PENANARbYMRVACaj
"I don't know, Tae," I 726Please respect copyright.PENANATwfbbE24bv
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 726Please respect copyright.PENANABmiWCGuAWS
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAY7Kt4h1ztd
forget all that happened yesterday."726Please respect copyright.PENANAwh6bG4g9K1
"Ya, I understand. They 726Please respect copyright.PENANArLXlpK8XhU
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2KhzOyjn8F
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were726Please respect copyright.PENANAs9XwEGjRME
going to get."726Please respect copyright.PENANAfTrFfj3rkr
I looked on at Taeyang 726Please respect copyright.PENANAe9P7NPwqxM
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 726Please respect copyright.PENANA5cQz2E9182
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 726Please respect copyright.PENANA3mPIOyxQ1d
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 726Please respect copyright.PENANAzhRyfrJqjU
who was as tough as nails.726Please respect copyright.PENANAosXk2IFYF6
Last night, I took the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAymsUoJevKu
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 726Please respect copyright.PENANAYyFLmz6VtK
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 726Please respect copyright.PENANAmUMfRRxjGW
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 726Please respect copyright.PENANAAtkSjaxYuW
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAeBuCxtaJ1F
Apparently, the managers726Please respect copyright.PENANAXyVX7OjeSe
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJk9riy6z0o
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought726Please respect copyright.PENANA69h8CbSnvu
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 726Please respect copyright.PENANAKe0I0IqMwV
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 726Please respect copyright.PENANAavADHhadYP
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 726Please respect copyright.PENANAy3FJRQojAf
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxO1LJZBV3E
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 726Please respect copyright.PENANAXLKffk0Qvy
and the reporters.726Please respect copyright.PENANAEJGbSQXFTh
After my confrontation 726Please respect copyright.PENANASVQijD54X4
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I726Please respect copyright.PENANAhXdw7cPFEJ
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,726Please respect copyright.PENANA6Wiahb7OD6
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.726Please respect copyright.PENANAGulvJgngRN
"Huh, I guess am still upset," I said, as I took in another spoon of soup in my mouth. "Especially after what GD did to me."726Please respect copyright.PENANAKGzowBc89M
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.726Please respect copyright.PENANAff0oDduN4I
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."726Please respect copyright.PENANAzqfVg0d35q
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."726Please respect copyright.PENANAg0zSJ5K39i
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."726Please respect copyright.PENANALWTWAhXHi6
"Have you tried talking to GD?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAFTHAUlm15L
"To be honest, I haven't726Please respect copyright.PENANAModNG9Pkit
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 726Please respect copyright.PENANAETZhJAy3Wx
slap him in the face if I see him."726Please respect copyright.PENANA6oIkewhbRT
"I don't doubt that."726Please respect copyright.PENANAOpKVln3jXf
"And thank goodness my 726Please respect copyright.PENANACgaWPJLwGS
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 726Please respect copyright.PENANAQu6bNY5smp
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I726Please respect copyright.PENANALj2QR5socT
want to do is watch some TV."726Please respect copyright.PENANAHYOWhUsnEM
I quickly drank my 726Please respect copyright.PENANAnTByfGpXtj
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 726Please respect copyright.PENANAuYTJevu8Z7
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 726Please respect copyright.PENANAYMw2Wgh2f8
to.726Please respect copyright.PENANAZC0p1L5hkV
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.726Please respect copyright.PENANArSH8gg2ard
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.726Please respect copyright.PENANAYsU3MVTdhj
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"726Please respect copyright.PENANABHtkVVfmtZ
"Nope."726Please respect copyright.PENANAt6cFfSmB9y
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.726Please respect copyright.PENANA2w6o7a6WDX
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANASmCl2ogKXr
Taeyang didn't say 726Please respect copyright.PENANAgmkSkoRN7H
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened726Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9rYss8mFV
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."726Please respect copyright.PENANA8y2C8yA4c1
"I know you fought or 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0iiOrGewQy
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 726Please respect copyright.PENANASTILxDoVoT
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."726Please respect copyright.PENANAlRCoo7YVTW
I noticed Taeyang smile 726Please respect copyright.PENANAHpFkNjV0MF
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 726Please respect copyright.PENANAmaCJPlYwrZ
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 726Please respect copyright.PENANAwDs97XOBrt
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.726Please respect copyright.PENANAUAW7y3SP7g
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.726Please respect copyright.PENANAIN3zKqqkiv
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."726Please respect copyright.PENANAd7VxAQsK8p
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?726Please respect copyright.PENANAIRGfwuGPJo
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.726Please respect copyright.PENANAoJN2fpuISj
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."726Please respect copyright.PENANABrytb7fSBi
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."726Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q67fahyQq
Before I could finish my726Please respect copyright.PENANAERnW6ja5ma
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 726Please respect copyright.PENANA65akK8QYc6
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.726Please respect copyright.PENANAFqEghU12lG
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.726Please respect copyright.PENANAjHBeXA25Ux
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.726Please respect copyright.PENANA3DqueuGFII
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."726Please respect copyright.PENANAU9mgHKdyrX
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."726Please respect copyright.PENANARZpLAEH6Hd
"Yep, cheers to that." 726Please respect copyright.PENANAaY4zhq6o9n
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAhNsxMxHjiU
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.726Please respect copyright.PENANA2fq5z5d8BW
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAq1mQEnwOn2
"We can't work on it without you," said Taeyang. "You and G-Dragon decided that the both of you would work on it together."726Please respect copyright.PENANAmV8GQC5LUr
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."726Please respect copyright.PENANAOE0TZpAWJl
"Wow, that sounds personal."726Please respect copyright.PENANAjaQmRnN4xV
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."726Please respect copyright.PENANAJRaN4mkSag
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"726Please respect copyright.PENANADwiB901n2F
"I think I've a better 726Please respect copyright.PENANANKK03r84xd
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 726Please respect copyright.PENANAHzgkSzrfFa
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 726Please respect copyright.PENANAv7qQ0pDCo9
lyrics. It's better that way."726Please respect copyright.PENANAca6z1hE4GI
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAVlL2i7GdjM
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."726Please respect copyright.PENANA9ra49mKsZB
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."726Please respect copyright.PENANA2LZybuVNrC
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."726Please respect copyright.PENANA1RaQQk3Gbe
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."726Please respect copyright.PENANAph13MThHWG
"Haha, good point."726Please respect copyright.PENANAcjxZJ4OCB7
Taeyang and I continued 726Please respect copyright.PENANAwAo43gjTWo
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 726Please respect copyright.PENANA5u4AgBTBeY
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 726Please respect copyright.PENANAer0dzZR8lu
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we726Please respect copyright.PENANAWfracPHu52
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdwz48h80bB
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 726Please respect copyright.PENANA93MQxs1fvx
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 726Please respect copyright.PENANAx9Tf0i3Fp4
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 726Please respect copyright.PENANAvLCUHScmoL
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.726Please respect copyright.PENANAtXITyNrv51
While the two of us were726Please respect copyright.PENANA87fKtD3lYw
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,726Please respect copyright.PENANA1yB8oOZB8v
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxJMKQIcaxG
I quickly went over to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAFAPrUsYcU8
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was726Please respect copyright.PENANA46jTLdIH2R
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung726Please respect copyright.PENANAOLwGpmW9KL
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could726Please respect copyright.PENANAvJO1EnDnA5
come up and I put the receiver down.726Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ocs94AMJZ
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."726Please respect copyright.PENANAOFKWBNDjtn
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."726Please respect copyright.PENANAzCmQqY7bRv
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."726Please respect copyright.PENANAX9XftGkdM5
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.726Please respect copyright.PENANACqI1GrkrLc
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.726Please respect copyright.PENANA9wInUrGqPd
"Eww, that pillow 726Please respect copyright.PENANArRbyoVtwAs
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 726Please respect copyright.PENANAEMzovyrkx3
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.726Please respect copyright.PENANAVujj2NglRr
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.726Please respect copyright.PENANAeRcBsA6tQu
A few seconds later, we 726Please respect copyright.PENANAfT4uXYl6US
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 726Please respect copyright.PENANAI7jENRS33h
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxM3sxTZE4Y
holding a box of chocolates.726Please respect copyright.PENANAvYFkX3Sg5n
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.726Please respect copyright.PENANA5PymSgivEa
"Ah, no, the panda is a 726Please respect copyright.PENANAvGxYiCMfal
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 726Please respect copyright.PENANABnoVHUjpzQ
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAoy2Iaa2FL9
same time.726Please respect copyright.PENANAFqC6UgyjbR
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."726Please respect copyright.PENANAWNoxqB1KTU
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.726Please respect copyright.PENANAiVFSO0RA0d
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAcAefacqxQR
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."726Please respect copyright.PENANAU4m7XQle64
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.726Please respect copyright.PENANAs4Rs6UE6dJ
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.726Please respect copyright.PENANAJkH21VZDvv
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."726Please respect copyright.PENANASM7U7HwYdT
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.726Please respect copyright.PENANAzC9PFuyb55
"For goodness sake, I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAaK1Mbt1Dpg
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 726Please respect copyright.PENANAzz1uKmgjtZ
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 726Please respect copyright.PENANA6yAoz1VTaM
scared with me."726Please respect copyright.PENANAfgtmoDIR4B
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.726Please respect copyright.PENANAGglBU7im3K
I took the panda in my 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdioKx0lRBW
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZk3iScEmQt
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 726Please respect copyright.PENANAbqQSHE8YZD
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 726Please respect copyright.PENANAbDyVoGiG7A
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.726Please respect copyright.PENANAT3j4XJfW9x
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."726Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZB7alwmaM
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."726Please respect copyright.PENANAFgGUycTQtV
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAJiwATPw2GY
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.726Please respect copyright.PENANAMpBveuauAO
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."726Please respect copyright.PENANAxIBcun9AKT
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I726Please respect copyright.PENANAqhBZpjGztY
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJIGxpQCe6E
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0v2jyoMbLe
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."726Please respect copyright.PENANA8RWPQxR1fr
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."726Please respect copyright.PENANAslt8oJ99u2
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."726Please respect copyright.PENANARN7x4BiIGS
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.726Please respect copyright.PENANAJDx8TNfsdX
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."726Please respect copyright.PENANAYqhDp7cZ6a
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.726Please respect copyright.PENANA5K83473zSO
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."726Please respect copyright.PENANAXYPYwFgfcy
"Ya, I do."726Please respect copyright.PENANAWANl7UOxvS
While the four of us 726Please respect copyright.PENANABTPA4eXySp
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2rCKxCWsHU
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAhxXcqJdE8X
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 726Please respect copyright.PENANA3UZBZkTdk3
said:726Please respect copyright.PENANAAQp6CExVTl
"Hey, Zoey." 726Please respect copyright.PENANA6CDlQOyYHc
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxQALDkqWn4
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."726Please respect copyright.PENANAfIBjBfBpGD
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.726Please respect copyright.PENANAxgsHTJJAOZ
"It's good you came to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAPzFMFccHS3
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3bzxegqYE
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAtd40CPfZlM
couch.726Please respect copyright.PENANABSzG6ltuDd
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"726Please respect copyright.PENANAxTAYpl6U9n
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"726Please respect copyright.PENANArszusf5nNu
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAo85a4EstfR
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 726Please respect copyright.PENANA1x4FhcY03J
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.726Please respect copyright.PENANAxFcZcQva78
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.726Please respect copyright.PENANAzVILb5ZTrM
I tugged at my panda's 726Please respect copyright.PENANAm6E5Rz2WRn
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it726Please respect copyright.PENANA0YFoV1XfSn
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking726Please respect copyright.PENANAp8n0F5Utzg
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.726Please respect copyright.PENANA1rr064ySeU
The Toxins came back to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAcz84UibLAa
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held726Please respect copyright.PENANAw0gZVj6U8s
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine726Please respect copyright.PENANAViUtb5SrsA
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.726Please respect copyright.PENANAFSwEuWbfu1
For a moment, no one 726Please respect copyright.PENANA6AdGvygpTL
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 726Please respect copyright.PENANAoi9QXEKPQV
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.726Please respect copyright.PENANAPS14alF2fP
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.726Please respect copyright.PENANAZXkRmJEmyG
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAP13xa9Erg5
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.726Please respect copyright.PENANAxTHgpVVbeg
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."726Please respect copyright.PENANAb5Gy1EYJl0
I stared up at the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAPOzZGCUCDk
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 726Please respect copyright.PENANAw7F9eCFLUO
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.726Please respect copyright.PENANAzfsOaFHcQa
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."726Please respect copyright.PENANA8ujPWUnUlc
When Zoey tried to reach726Please respect copyright.PENANAOv2gs0xQK7
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2F04w2CPL8
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.726Please respect copyright.PENANA5JuRxKpwoK
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.726Please respect copyright.PENANAoGlMF6Wm44
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.726Please respect copyright.PENANAL1Quog4DKj
Zoey looked hurt with 726Please respect copyright.PENANAo18shrllZr
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0FGSHN0vox
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.726Please respect copyright.PENANAkTznYAvwPl
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANA0mst1mz3Fb
I didn't answer as I put726Please respect copyright.PENANAMQx5vtWahZ
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I726Please respect copyright.PENANArZeqR3GMzW
was still mad, especially at Zoey.726Please respect copyright.PENANAJfeWuwF8Ke
"I know it's a little 726Please respect copyright.PENANAgwVqX02CEH
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0b6FjKVwXS
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdruilCiRj0
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 726Please respect copyright.PENANALYVol7My4R
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAseBsVS0wqt
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 726Please respect copyright.PENANAS55oC77pWS
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."726Please respect copyright.PENANAowvyek0Ooq
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.726Please respect copyright.PENANAWW5DUzWdLT
"I don't like it when 726Please respect copyright.PENANAU5UeD7bvqU
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 726Please respect copyright.PENANAENUy7FCaHe
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 726Please respect copyright.PENANA5fgGqYtIqi
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 726Please respect copyright.PENANAt5zPUpiYZo
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 726Please respect copyright.PENANAVDqfMsgnxF
sorry, Sam."726Please respect copyright.PENANAkeyaUmjVGn
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."726Please respect copyright.PENANApbTiveTMtG
"I'm sorry too," said 726Please respect copyright.PENANAIQw4gD80IL
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 726Please respect copyright.PENANAeYt6QIrNqx
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 726Please respect copyright.PENANAoUnvnECpdS
for you to talk to us again."726Please respect copyright.PENANAv45g97kIEN
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 726Please respect copyright.PENANAf2Hz6IUXhQ
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 726Please respect copyright.PENANAAoJJbOBNEJ
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 726Please respect copyright.PENANAzUzPj73EnW
leader."726Please respect copyright.PENANA81HF7OYTLp
I still didn't say a 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0cyfPcLSXR
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAOJjhQ4pKqu
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 726Please respect copyright.PENANAAiAlRIRB0m
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 726Please respect copyright.PENANAMAT9THb28t
them despite the awful things they put me through.726Please respect copyright.PENANAHd0cQ46InY
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdKSItyaxeK
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."726Please respect copyright.PENANAWRVZJz87Ts
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.726Please respect copyright.PENANAXiNw0mk7Qc
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.726Please respect copyright.PENANA6V8Ns1nhoh
"I'm mad and pretty much726Please respect copyright.PENANAe3LJJWfz1h
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 726Please respect copyright.PENANArhVAG1zuLi
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."726Please respect copyright.PENANAEJsSrLrSGl
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAUOnRsNvDrv
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."726Please respect copyright.PENANAXDyq5yt0ej
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAqvvRHhBiE7
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7pVhT40LCU
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 726Please respect copyright.PENANANReE0FvBlH
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."726Please respect copyright.PENANAPOLZM6DAW2
"Ah, you! Always acting 726Please respect copyright.PENANAQnYIlAZRAb
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 726Please respect copyright.PENANAzlbqNmztzw
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 726Please respect copyright.PENANANIFDfgs8xt
catch it anyway."726Please respect copyright.PENANAguhBxdcXPn
Christine, Daniel and 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJJfoSkPen7
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 726Please respect copyright.PENANATJj99BJffJ
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAx8r9eBnBLc
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.726Please respect copyright.PENANAOQDzqHpdJL
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.726Please respect copyright.PENANAfLDYdYWSlM
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.726Please respect copyright.PENANAA2jzSTzhmi
"Ya, I'm glad we did," I said, as I felt my nose twitch. "Can you guys please stop hugging me, I'm about to...."726Please respect copyright.PENANA4L079WxDFD
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.726Please respect copyright.PENANA3JzXvAKO05
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."726Please respect copyright.PENANASIbNNpL9Zi
"Don't worry, you won't 726Please respect copyright.PENANA5t84okQ4e2
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2dFhVflIVI
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.726Please respect copyright.PENANAHYfrqF74SD
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.726Please respect copyright.PENANA0PB7AhpPfi
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.726Please respect copyright.PENANA29mzDGDXd2
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAQmlE9k9euz
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."726Please respect copyright.PENANAI5cDX98wXN
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.726Please respect copyright.PENANA1GFWFgt7Ga
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxGcXBcaMbO
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAMk79NZkMiH
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."726Please respect copyright.PENANA07wuPVZXmS
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.726Please respect copyright.PENANAhfNED6EcGZ
At that moment, I had 726Please respect copyright.PENANAYUgMzduYJy
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.726Please respect copyright.PENANAsc3iuUROHw
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.726Please respect copyright.PENANAxkzJH8vCTV
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAOa4AvQByuV
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.726Please respect copyright.PENANAaB1YseqNn5
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."726Please respect copyright.PENANAeQNlOi5Xnl
Zoey got the box of 726Please respect copyright.PENANA8CBT8REuEd
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAD8YJazP6iM
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.726Please respect copyright.PENANAsm4AEqssw5
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.726Please respect copyright.PENANAnOXReZJAVN
I was in the passage as I726Please respect copyright.PENANAyoqRVJSHC5
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 726Please respect copyright.PENANAiTVvUN864v
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed726Please respect copyright.PENANAGHz4I6cEJH
in what felt like sadness.726Please respect copyright.PENANAbrtP6tbhxV
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAkDXyaQm0FT
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."726Please respect copyright.PENANADX1KznGdMF
I heard his footsteps 726Please respect copyright.PENANAvcGrMcErfy
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAXbOOPUriaz
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.726Please respect copyright.PENANA3zJuruHlu1
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAHym6W8gzBS
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANABX4ay7ZFay
"Are we really do this right now?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAUKvMEoKjkc
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 726Please respect copyright.PENANA4rx0GIo00U
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.726Please respect copyright.PENANA0KVIeTurjY
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANA1rkOjvRHiS
"Nope." 726Please respect copyright.PENANAbSbylvjPRl
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."726Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bpwa6TJ2p
My eyes almost felt like726Please respect copyright.PENANAdX03fUZRbm
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 726Please respect copyright.PENANAkwiCP2ysVW
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.726Please respect copyright.PENANAiM2gdxOH3p
I turned to look at him 726Please respect copyright.PENANAfSFdjum7rG
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAhnoSdYfMlF
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.726Please respect copyright.PENANAEJxfUesar2
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.726Please respect copyright.PENANAGfcyxAdRN4
"That you're surrounded 726Please respect copyright.PENANAtys3gdpSSc
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 726Please respect copyright.PENANAuOuXXzcM1u
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 726Please respect copyright.PENANA1W4FKZvRJh
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."726Please respect copyright.PENANAJhWgpevSni
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 726Please respect copyright.PENANAw2T33GkrD4
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."726Please respect copyright.PENANAJOEvkwisWg
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAgp5orNgUcK
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."726Please respect copyright.PENANAchGkeBr80s
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."726Please respect copyright.PENANAROLM3LLxHA
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAVjhqNIP7il
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."726Please respect copyright.PENANA7rh3IoLAFI
Apparently, I couldn't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAydtNa9n1yG
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAjU3MOZJIz8
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7oEA8m50yk
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 726Please respect copyright.PENANA6cadCGr20O
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAeFwYMQyKcC
death.726Please respect copyright.PENANAvJtfILJwqJ
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.726Please respect copyright.PENANAJ88xa0VFCu
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."726Please respect copyright.PENANA6WH03dNMCt
Taeyang folded his arms 726Please respect copyright.PENANA1JQJZ6vhd7
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think726Please respect copyright.PENANAJWmJU2yo8O
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."726Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7IQ1MawMy
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.726Please respect copyright.PENANAq1DpJJw6oE
"You're may think you're726Please respect copyright.PENANAaHOKejuaRG
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 726Please respect copyright.PENANARktwFYPqfK
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 726Please respect copyright.PENANA3mBAz2zV3e
but feeling hurt."726Please respect copyright.PENANAXIe2roftMZ
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.726Please respect copyright.PENANAR3WFjFn58f
"But I wouldn't feel 726Please respect copyright.PENANA6pBLTSAKDK
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 726Please respect copyright.PENANAfgXQMaTbac
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 726Please respect copyright.PENANALJuX6JmhtH
at Taeyang.726Please respect copyright.PENANAI6z9KHyn6J
Taeyang gave me that 726Please respect copyright.PENANA90jvhW1pdZ
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 726Please respect copyright.PENANAYHFfkuyyo1
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 726Please respect copyright.PENANAqZM45lv9ch
while in return, he nodded.726Please respect copyright.PENANA1kyj5ElK3o
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAM8gCLK7qxc
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."726Please respect copyright.PENANASlFQ6PuOLI
I didn't say a word as I726Please respect copyright.PENANAUK81ydvRGK
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my726Please respect copyright.PENANASfEqgp3zfF
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 726Please respect copyright.PENANAjkMfGV4SGe
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 726Please respect copyright.PENANAgK7GbFzzgh
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.726Please respect copyright.PENANAdcM3CT4jUB
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."726Please respect copyright.PENANApuhdxQ2M9N
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."726Please respect copyright.PENANAVVV0kArMQv
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."726Please respect copyright.PENANA9fesCoLfFB
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAw9RVpiJDMt
If there was ever a way I726Please respect copyright.PENANAF97tOeEl2L
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tt4R8CCRk
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 726Please respect copyright.PENANAvrHIbmcjPe
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.726Please respect copyright.PENANAesiUiqyfXn
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxokNegBz07
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAmi0ojfCrbp
When I came out, I still found Taeyang where I had left him and the two of us went to join the others entering the elevator.726Please respect copyright.PENANAhHZznkJQVc
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.726Please respect copyright.PENANAphMHKh3l54
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAkYwwpkD9RD
"Well, I'm just asking,"726Please respect copyright.PENANATsKHgyiTU7
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,726Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZCZoZynYv
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."726Please respect copyright.PENANAuNdKNH4AAN
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.726Please respect copyright.PENANAKpP4n4XewL
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.726Please respect copyright.PENANA0jnPLnuoun
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.726Please respect copyright.PENANApe65vcYbkH
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.726Please respect copyright.PENANACklvRdCnyW
I pressed the button 726Please respect copyright.PENANAbX51gSBfzJ
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 726Please respect copyright.PENANAj7mh5crCp5
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 726Please respect copyright.PENANAFkdi1y312F
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.726Please respect copyright.PENANAAuhHUWWfjs
We went to the main 726Please respect copyright.PENANAp8TkWanNXW
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for726Please respect copyright.PENANA154JDFhQOe
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 726Please respect copyright.PENANAe3OPaXG7dW
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.726Please respect copyright.PENANAqSwiBjjzXc
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.726Please respect copyright.PENANAzmU09ozHzK
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAimTovQG01w
"To be honest, we just 726Please respect copyright.PENANADh3nLKgoaW
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 726Please respect copyright.PENANA1o6deFdKG1
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."726Please respect copyright.PENANAaMLyGsZVNe
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.726Please respect copyright.PENANAwc8ndxIMvS
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.726Please respect copyright.PENANAa3KUbHT9Nc
We all got to the table and before I could pull out my chair, Taeyang pulled the chair out for me and I glady sat.726Please respect copyright.PENANA8fNtnkDI8F
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.726Please respect copyright.PENANAIua950Rgly
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.726Please respect copyright.PENANAprxhEf5Wq1
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAxXJlmmPOQZ
"Nah, I don't think so,"726Please respect copyright.PENANALkx7PHTICn
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so726Please respect copyright.PENANAerPLQeHgF3
he would be treating me like that."726Please respect copyright.PENANA5r1nLYpFNI
"Mmm, I don't think so,"726Please respect copyright.PENANA3zW4Zvdcho
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 726Please respect copyright.PENANANPxYQAoCyj
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"726Please respect copyright.PENANA3aC4LUiyDU
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."726Please respect copyright.PENANAVeUWQNcVJf
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.726Please respect copyright.PENANAqKOMDxU0DF
"Then, stop trying to make one."726Please respect copyright.PENANAcgv5YOM0nm
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."726Please respect copyright.PENANAn6epQf74RH
"Ya, me too," said Mike.726Please respect copyright.PENANARrDVscYH3s
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.726Please respect copyright.PENANAMqTHhDLf2l
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"726Please respect copyright.PENANATOchlWy7mA
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.726Please respect copyright.PENANAVpeuCI66DH
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."726Please respect copyright.PENANAP8YxHtiZuk
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAeW5dIRlqjG
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.726Please respect copyright.PENANAvmjROx43bi
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."726Please respect copyright.PENANAxVL5JFpVDK
I didn't even dare try 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJmn3GZiC4E
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAId2OUHQE5c
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.726Please respect copyright.PENANALtAniPJCm8
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAODj2mwNmj4
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAsWVpVGvWV1
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.726Please respect copyright.PENANAgVOzNGQrpk
I heard footsteps coming726Please respect copyright.PENANAN38iBz0S4l
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 726Please respect copyright.PENANANp2H5FhhWz
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 726Please respect copyright.PENANABxZHThaBnH
look at me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAe0Tr4JMmSK
"Are you okay?" he whispered.726Please respect copyright.PENANAogM2sn8cau
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.726Please respect copyright.PENANAURT6YinI5O
I soon felt strong hands726Please respect copyright.PENANAPH8t7HGncl
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD726Please respect copyright.PENANA7yzeEYdk27
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.726Please respect copyright.PENANAYpMsr9CFav
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAsDVfqF9Lvq
"I'm a whole lot better,726Please respect copyright.PENANAW5SHyeunaA
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 726Please respect copyright.PENANAwOIOnYFQma
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.726Please respect copyright.PENANALgVIvqDbyW
"Glad to hear that."726Please respect copyright.PENANAKQUV9ikVdM
When TOP let go of my shoulders and walked away to take his seat next to Mike, I heard G-Dragon's voice behind me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAsE3GGo3C0S
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."726Please respect copyright.PENANA6HM0GI2sMC
I was planning not to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAbaTjcF9GVc
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7H5UVrMCfg
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 726Please respect copyright.PENANA3LqfHccdnq
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to726Please respect copyright.PENANAFzaK7h203U
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 726Please respect copyright.PENANAKLl4H9APtN
under the bridge.726Please respect copyright.PENANAAWlCVXig1h
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."726Please respect copyright.PENANAtfiGtsGwZq
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAAuDMbcFSDM
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."726Please respect copyright.PENANAWmRDXWfYCH
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."726Please respect copyright.PENANAuUYXTUQcq3
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.726Please respect copyright.PENANAPL5xZd9Eua
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.726Please respect copyright.PENANAflNazIGbjQ
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAeY7J6uBUwf
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."726Please respect copyright.PENANAk5r5dfwHCj
The waiters soon came 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2ASVc1S0hQ
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.726Please respect copyright.PENANAjAx2pT86gU
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 726Please respect copyright.PENANAkwR1wdscP9
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 726Please respect copyright.PENANA9bdjlb2OTr
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.726Please respect copyright.PENANAv9v1vIhlOX
For a moment, I felt 726Please respect copyright.PENANAsIzKonB7A5
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAwHVA7L0OMy
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 726Please respect copyright.PENANAVC2AMSc6RP
me to forget that I was ever mad.726Please respect copyright.PENANA49uh22sdhS
"Mmm, this is so 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0EZwgwxTk8
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 726Please respect copyright.PENANAirDoEggTPu
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."726Please respect copyright.PENANA4ayPDwIMyO
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."726Please respect copyright.PENANAHqr1nEvNzD
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."726Please respect copyright.PENANADMNWQDFehL
"Anything for you, Sam,"726Please respect copyright.PENANAOKHXk1jWT0
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 726Please respect copyright.PENANA31z0Lcn5PW
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."726Please respect copyright.PENANAFajCbbtyeq
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAYB45kBn4ko
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.726Please respect copyright.PENANAJgka4lxSM1
I had just taken in some726Please respect copyright.PENANA95IYzFBFbv
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 726Please respect copyright.PENANA98TB7FQWZc
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly726Please respect copyright.PENANAHJzXRaycip
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7qxs4P9Bto
just said.726Please respect copyright.PENANAx9PM0NKCQy
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAQVCAqiuRZ0
"Well, ya," Christine 726Please respect copyright.PENANA5RuHfn7Ygy
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 726Please respect copyright.PENANAflQaCKnXoY
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 726Please respect copyright.PENANAeLLNJggicZ
special lunch to lighten your mood."726Please respect copyright.PENANA53kkGNyH3X
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.726Please respect copyright.PENANAjsUfsLajCU
"Thanks for the lunch, 726Please respect copyright.PENANAoPYIxrPoLN
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so726Please respect copyright.PENANA6lTNuLeEoJ
sweet of you to have come up with this."726Please respect copyright.PENANAKJwxkabxXs
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.726Please respect copyright.PENANACqHixnzSqG
I almost felt like 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJVh9WfCVwm
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 726Please respect copyright.PENANARcsuWDaUkQ
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare726Please respect copyright.PENANAHWVepebOam
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 726Please respect copyright.PENANA1mnujjxd5G
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 726Please respect copyright.PENANABT2Ydr7ZX1
turning into rage?726Please respect copyright.PENANArr9ocjW2dn
Oh, goodness. I needed 726Please respect copyright.PENANAUzMq9SBQBt
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 726Please respect copyright.PENANA3mo10OAhuB
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 726Please respect copyright.PENANAruqMQJ3JKW
I tried to push aside 726Please respect copyright.PENANAhseQ2UzGhM
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 726Please respect copyright.PENANASL0aFXVaGk
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 726Please respect copyright.PENANAmA6EfUnaKA
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 726Please respect copyright.PENANAX6LMurnGxg
chocolate moussé.726Please respect copyright.PENANA530VqAvLJJ
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,726Please respect copyright.PENANALLSj86H4BD
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 726Please respect copyright.PENANAizJFDSXraJ
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.726Please respect copyright.PENANA6ABTwiQDCR
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.726Please respect copyright.PENANANQg0uGnQKY
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."726Please respect copyright.PENANAzpgqYLdpsi
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.726Please respect copyright.PENANAWBhXnh0rgT
I didn't wait for 726Please respect copyright.PENANAYwg5UqN5xh
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I726Please respect copyright.PENANA5C5ixLuiHy
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed726Please respect copyright.PENANAHzqli4UVpd
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 726Please respect copyright.PENANABjJNO8n7eO
heaven.726Please respect copyright.PENANAUFqx5xLtKe
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.726Please respect copyright.PENANAbvRNqkLdMl
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."726Please respect copyright.PENANAHINF4yflAU
"I don't care," I said 726Please respect copyright.PENANASfiIGOIk1U
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7Fi4VXadwg
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."726Please respect copyright.PENANA8adlIxRY0i
G-Dragon smiled back at 726Please respect copyright.PENANAm2agfjYC8G
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2nGClR8aot
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 726Please respect copyright.PENANAPFOJzvJyw3
away.726Please respect copyright.PENANACLzsbkeoG3
After dessert, we all 726Please respect copyright.PENANALisS0KIHRf
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 726Please respect copyright.PENANAGfkUQdBw8K
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 726Please respect copyright.PENANAmgBykkhUOw
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 726Please respect copyright.PENANAiUw14Y8NWq
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAAgFMf9ut2t
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 726Please respect copyright.PENANAlQmfzV4Mwr
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.726Please respect copyright.PENANAXyYi2OuyTZ
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"726Please respect copyright.PENANApu2EOuXB1j
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.726Please respect copyright.PENANA5WmlzuiuDd
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."726Please respect copyright.PENANAAG9Ee4Xonb
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.726Please respect copyright.PENANA8kpF3z1sNt
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."726Please respect copyright.PENANAKZRGU6In0H
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."726Please respect copyright.PENANAU0HBhe4zy2
"What stuff?" TOP asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAGlB94snVLB
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAr6KcPit2ZS
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."726Please respect copyright.PENANAMAPZQTKJfe
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.726Please respect copyright.PENANAipryEp3vc7
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.726Please respect copyright.PENANABJnKdd2hpH
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.726Please respect copyright.PENANA4MSi07OUS9
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.726Please respect copyright.PENANAs4ot9ZluGj
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."726Please respect copyright.PENANAGqBDoIvJuD
"Wait, what's going on?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAQguXaCJkSO
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAkOiWgevNMZ
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAEKmAXcd3sf
"I thought we should all726Please respect copyright.PENANAGPDOikVyfE
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 726Please respect copyright.PENANARFUEH8oGHn
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."726Please respect copyright.PENANAC3p6TexiMi
"But why do we have to put our heads together if there is you and G-Dragon who are better at song writing?" TOP asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAWcAf18A28p
"I don't know, I feel we726Please respect copyright.PENANA0lWhTcstOU
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.726Please respect copyright.PENANA59VFuEJDoI
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out726Please respect copyright.PENANA3wyxTHRSE5
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."726Please respect copyright.PENANAwiWZez2l3v
"I don't get it though,"726Please respect copyright.PENANA7tz3bwRPtx
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 726Please respect copyright.PENANALheBVFpll1
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write726Please respect copyright.PENANAhCsBQhGnNn
the lyrics?"726Please respect copyright.PENANARYK6aqTC4t
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.726Please respect copyright.PENANAoZttMabjbn
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAqXUIePu8K8
This time, I also raised726Please respect copyright.PENANAf0cufrlZs8
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 726Please respect copyright.PENANAuFNfZC7Sed
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.726Please respect copyright.PENANAotMPIZFM63
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAqv88sjc9I9
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.726Please respect copyright.PENANA7fEoS44wwO
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.726Please respect copyright.PENANAV5J4MfCt3y
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAhUetZ9xRD3
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."726Please respect copyright.PENANAMxapyXWfwp
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAzK4Aq0PXvW
By the way G-Dragon 726Please respect copyright.PENANAILmYKi27KI
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 726Please respect copyright.PENANASSIX8v70hO
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And726Please respect copyright.PENANAmbyca7Hubo
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of726Please respect copyright.PENANAvWJnbXvE7y
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.726Please respect copyright.PENANAwQfycPoXYK
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."726Please respect copyright.PENANAyFDyFlMfOd
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAbTtjIN4loV
"Maybe, it's because you're objecting to my idea and you just want to make up what would be a valid reason for it."726Please respect copyright.PENANAu3T1lMqOiy
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.726Please respect copyright.PENANAMRISc0lQw9
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAUaRyRm1eD4
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.726Please respect copyright.PENANALQvuRC2h9A
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."726Please respect copyright.PENANAZIARhFfyd1
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."726Please respect copyright.PENANAmCQtpkGuHP
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."726Please respect copyright.PENANAsjUnFJiza9
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."726Please respect copyright.PENANAyA67eJIq26
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."726Please respect copyright.PENANAzG5dC2bEdg
"What truth?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAa1kMcUP0Oj
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."726Please respect copyright.PENANA0UktJvACfw
Taeyang was right. I was726Please respect copyright.PENANAToxP6tuE0H
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 726Please respect copyright.PENANABp9txEhRNf
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 726Please respect copyright.PENANAD5T8nxXrpM
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7i0nAR9bvn
attention.726Please respect copyright.PENANA8iMeLpIKeb
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."726Please respect copyright.PENANAtiPoFJS9R0
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."726Please respect copyright.PENANA2yErhqU0st
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel726Please respect copyright.PENANAXF3io1Kznj
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 726Please respect copyright.PENANAy2GuBTC4zS
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!726Please respect copyright.PENANA4Zjvfo80Zo
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.726Please respect copyright.PENANAc2UPwXJOf9
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.726Please respect copyright.PENANAUPLcxTvkIQ
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.726Please respect copyright.PENANAKekqUBdZI2
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.726Please respect copyright.PENANAiiq0WbhmqG
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.726Please respect copyright.PENANAhvUz7nxGlo
"But I....." 726Please respect copyright.PENANA88xhrS5G3v
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 726Please respect copyright.PENANARUXJLwHaBA
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've726Please respect copyright.PENANAnOIS6lzWhv
talked way too much, don't you think?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAflYPncAUBh
That felt like a slap in726Please respect copyright.PENANADH5YfWroS3
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 726Please respect copyright.PENANAMNDaEU8BoS
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 726Please respect copyright.PENANAapMcXnaPDc
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 726Please respect copyright.PENANANCrTmdqRaS
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 726Please respect copyright.PENANAhbcP1D7B9Q
about what I thought was best for the whole group?726Please respect copyright.PENANAWH4gBkyOgT
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.726Please respect copyright.PENANA0qvRaagEqX
"That's fine with me," said Mike.726Please respect copyright.PENANA7nPB9h03B7
Everyone else agreed, 726Please respect copyright.PENANAIIrJRbmpns
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJMnIc1M0tA
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 726Please respect copyright.PENANAkgW1z6i2LA
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 726Please respect copyright.PENANA6GTcf2888h
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxh1qOH6utE
B, just in case.726Please respect copyright.PENANAiAcjh6EYTs
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.726Please respect copyright.PENANAY97YP3fn04
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.726Please respect copyright.PENANAiZWVhkSU2j
"Not now, Sam. We will 726Please respect copyright.PENANArCsTv8alte
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 726Please respect copyright.PENANAcZD0wWL4GT
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 726Please respect copyright.PENANAOGv7BNY1Sf
gave me goosebumps.726Please respect copyright.PENANAWUjzait7jM
"Way to go, Sam," said Zoey, as she also stood up from the table. "You just made him upset. I need to go calm him down."726Please respect copyright.PENANArpUyTb4nQz
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAuICoviNl72
One by one everyone 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2F9MqXyEuY
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 726Please respect copyright.PENANA3tVaQyzXY5
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem726Please respect copyright.PENANAqvfbczDY3x
appropriate.726Please respect copyright.PENANAzA2oAIslPl
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.726Please respect copyright.PENANASuSBaD41ha
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAf0W4IwySsR
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.726Please respect copyright.PENANAjUGRxZPtaa
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.726Please respect copyright.PENANAvJz0ZRpFgA
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."726Please respect copyright.PENANAOdLDOtPsYG
"It's not that. I pissed726Please respect copyright.PENANAHDoriShf11
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take726Please respect copyright.PENANAyYwA5vlUlC
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."726Please respect copyright.PENANAuK4lSotBms
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."726Please respect copyright.PENANAb7cy6RSanN
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."726Please respect copyright.PENANAIH15oVJ7s0
Taeyang placed his hand 726Please respect copyright.PENANANSpB39QL71
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He726Please respect copyright.PENANAgOsbY1Fb5j
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.726Please respect copyright.PENANA4mS4kNXHH6
I knew I had to hope for726Please respect copyright.PENANAQS9sSnilvJ
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut726Please respect copyright.PENANA3eDz9z2Ub1
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 726Please respect copyright.PENANAD2EQth2Ted
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0mYRmCP4ph
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJQhbksVMHf
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
