The water felt like a 742Please respect copyright.PENANA6gJcGsJupt
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 742Please respect copyright.PENANAR3nBCy5Cde
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAE8WZQ7om5p
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZYnM0mygIj
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZdCpJKANog
breathe. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAsfrNNMxdtg
I pushed myself upwards 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxD83ZL1l7C
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of742Please respect copyright.PENANAmoew7p8LYj
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 742Please respect copyright.PENANApK4zkFVQ1k
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAjB1OooFoog
edge.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6HcV8tqHGq
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.742Please respect copyright.PENANA3LHPGIACg4
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.742Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jx7Zm2Cfx
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEbyvuDxOeN
I looked ridiculously 742Please respect copyright.PENANAvpB7ZFDXdE
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 742Please respect copyright.PENANApiwlQtbD20
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 742Please respect copyright.PENANAMWPFNaYr5r
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 742Please respect copyright.PENANA4b8KA4uUXI
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 742Please respect copyright.PENANAf596zLKXt9
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.742Please respect copyright.PENANAq9qGLGTW7l
I looked around me and 742Please respect copyright.PENANAiB4wMYN2wI
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 742Please respect copyright.PENANA103vcUoIXC
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 742Please respect copyright.PENANAtz6kicIlUm
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 742Please respect copyright.PENANAPN0eWmCEGf
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.742Please respect copyright.PENANAfVXRL0SQti
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."742Please respect copyright.PENANAXFqxoa4KEy
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."742Please respect copyright.PENANAJH4RYhoEeT
I heard Zoey and the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAunTwB26jqW
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on742Please respect copyright.PENANA8KK31GtvUU
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.742Please respect copyright.PENANASCKVwvTmnL
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAY1XJLS4QQu
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's742Please respect copyright.PENANAJoi9PRO68w
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 742Please respect copyright.PENANAYSpX0ZCeiD
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."742Please respect copyright.PENANAlmUbDnC6jC
"I already told you, I'm742Please respect copyright.PENANAmTcyXwGtxF
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I742Please respect copyright.PENANAEzQ586pTBh
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 742Please respect copyright.PENANAvU4roDlCFQ
from anyone.742Please respect copyright.PENANAGvSdXPNIj5
I made my way towards GD742Please respect copyright.PENANAD6JWxkZOSH
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what742Please respect copyright.PENANAfxx6yT5D3z
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 742Please respect copyright.PENANAbSqceBdzSj
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.742Please respect copyright.PENANAqfuNx1Gv1x
"Oh, man, Sam," said 742Please respect copyright.PENANAsmdTVjbE0u
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 742Please respect copyright.PENANAHUtZM0DzjD
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAuojRNU08sJ
game. Hope you didn't mind."742Please respect copyright.PENANAYWcAv3Mj5b
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."742Please respect copyright.PENANA3iXCUJl3tD
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."742Please respect copyright.PENANAVPL69IYwZz
"I told you, our 742Please respect copyright.PENANA7MM9ItqilS
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAQiugvwFVZD
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 742Please respect copyright.PENANAbTuLph890p
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxt18Ed2zeJ
Daesung.742Please respect copyright.PENANAfPyKKgAZbA
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAyYNrhxYowG
I dialled Lee's number 742Please respect copyright.PENANAzGPFP9pvkj
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 742Please respect copyright.PENANAKx0V1WklfR
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAJNTijo6VDG
They would know soon enough.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6eptXC87PJ
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.742Please respect copyright.PENANAMcEPudBNfT
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.742Please respect copyright.PENANAZYOWUAd9Up
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAzQKZV9rRN0
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAV0ny6PfWja
"No, not yet. But you 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXqN8sQDx1C
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And742Please respect copyright.PENANAmLldnYwJWF
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."742Please respect copyright.PENANAOkp7KaGXvb
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."742Please respect copyright.PENANAQfMoQs7tPz
"Okay, I'll be waiting."742Please respect copyright.PENANAYOBcwrMvoM
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.742Please respect copyright.PENANAuJtjJ5DNFp
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAojvXCudD8W
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."742Please respect copyright.PENANAhAYlcvO0rp
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9GhpEYEIj
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."742Please respect copyright.PENANA7F7KjmtSkX
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.742Please respect copyright.PENANAvcAkRfUmf2
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."742Please respect copyright.PENANAljXt78wLLM
I shook my head. I was 742Please respect copyright.PENANA9mX4KEWlWN
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 742Please respect copyright.PENANA9KufOcOzVQ
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 742Please respect copyright.PENANAgzGMLdaCrD
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.742Please respect copyright.PENANAsCguoeBMh0
After walking a few feet742Please respect copyright.PENANAp8nrPwCSHo
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 742Please respect copyright.PENANAtVOZPUzkxP
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was742Please respect copyright.PENANAOT6EgVVhYp
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 742Please respect copyright.PENANAakP82thZQa
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.742Please respect copyright.PENANAdkodSxD0rT
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANALHUKntN6Rm
None of them answered as742Please respect copyright.PENANAcvqpLN0uBy
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAMX02MOs6j6
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 742Please respect copyright.PENANAyCcT7WRW8t
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAiCjTrJdtIB
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.742Please respect copyright.PENANAO1UYpvwPLS
"I wasn't going to say 742Please respect copyright.PENANAoOZw6nNTF1
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing742Please respect copyright.PENANAQdgrudugKC
you would want to hear from me is advice."742Please respect copyright.PENANAN43ZWzhOp2
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAW9chDlA5uU
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPPOomBlYyD
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."742Please respect copyright.PENANAzFoLaZJNw5
"I'm still upset, though."742Please respect copyright.PENANAnYsfXRceDR
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."742Please respect copyright.PENANAVVU00FkfgT
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."742Please respect copyright.PENANAb3nyMWeF5I
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."742Please respect copyright.PENANApdpYl5zkl0
I gave TOP an assuring 742Please respect copyright.PENANAG3Sjz2EE16
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way742Please respect copyright.PENANADbxnR29UmX
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAtEXuXE7EUr
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I742Please respect copyright.PENANA9BSe7eHf44
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't742Please respect copyright.PENANA7EOygUSySs
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 742Please respect copyright.PENANAATO2VL2RfZ
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.742Please respect copyright.PENANALAAzunoefK
We all found ourselves 742Please respect copyright.PENANAJKmDqXOeZ7
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins742Please respect copyright.PENANAEUFubHksvS
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 742Please respect copyright.PENANAtOR7I2wnwm
were waiting for me. 742Please respect copyright.PENANA4gBRFqTwSG
"Hey, Sam, you don't 742Please respect copyright.PENANALil7GWSj12
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 742Please respect copyright.PENANAu30Y0B8Zhm
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.742Please respect copyright.PENANA88Q23pKHpx
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."742Please respect copyright.PENANAbdSjLeBq7M
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 742Please respect copyright.PENANA3J97A1BSij
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 742Please respect copyright.PENANA757FBp3n0C
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch742Please respect copyright.PENANAegdIFbHy9r
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAbWHlNS1b2v
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.742Please respect copyright.PENANAfl7ELTRtZQ
I had my eyes closed 742Please respect copyright.PENANAKTEhMkMC89
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found742Please respect copyright.PENANAcda3t6dTHd
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAiJ8SR14Szb
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."742Please respect copyright.PENANA1iNvgR2B0h
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.742Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8oedNvQBR
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."742Please respect copyright.PENANAekenvuNWmx
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."742Please respect copyright.PENANAcHdXL9idlP
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."742Please respect copyright.PENANAH6toARDxQy
Taeyang led me to his 742Please respect copyright.PENANAd41yIQjamm
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 742Please respect copyright.PENANA7ovBHokWzd
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 742Please respect copyright.PENANAUFIFrAbvkH
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.742Please respect copyright.PENANAelwVB4gN94
In about thirty minutes,742Please respect copyright.PENANAhHNpk1yX2r
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 742Please respect copyright.PENANACXoHggA68U
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 742Please respect copyright.PENANA2xxhWyBOgX
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 742Please respect copyright.PENANAsqSutvy9Hm
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 742Please respect copyright.PENANAhDvQeYXoxD
appeared out of the elevator.742Please respect copyright.PENANA7HeySJnVCW
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAFylhyFD3NN
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.742Please respect copyright.PENANAriCxw1qQl2
Lee who stood behind 742Please respect copyright.PENANAakDz3Xaact
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 742Please respect copyright.PENANASn6EG5Dvtt
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 742Please respect copyright.PENANAwlt8yKCXAN
other things in mind.742Please respect copyright.PENANAAAekk2JhTP
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAYXeNhVaJEx
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAcQvv7ECBL6
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 742Please respect copyright.PENANAPKcWoCFdKB
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.742Please respect copyright.PENANAz1MdXHozmD
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAFUP9uTx14N
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANAZ24zKLRJCx
There was an awkward 742Please respect copyright.PENANAGAb1anJ2DL
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,742Please respect copyright.PENANAQxgpbKdCH4
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.742Please respect copyright.PENANA2ldhULS0ra
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAktpCqxS0ED
"Well, I hear the press 742Please respect copyright.PENANAo1DnMZIFdF
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon742Please respect copyright.PENANAbOEN1ufQcf
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."742Please respect copyright.PENANApUfSVEZrfF
"That won't be 742Please respect copyright.PENANAS29BWS3KZO
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 742Please respect copyright.PENANAKBiz6LAbmJ
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to742Please respect copyright.PENANAdp4SsYyNJo
go to the press looking all wet."742Please respect copyright.PENANArgRdJZuIMb
I breathed out a sigh of742Please respect copyright.PENANAQYjrFCr74r
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXMoQUpZuMn
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.742Please respect copyright.PENANATaD5y4MySj
"In the meantime, you go742Please respect copyright.PENANA26dyVLIB1x
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 742Please respect copyright.PENANAp8IJVMqWZi
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."742Please respect copyright.PENANAg0IMUl1Uz8
I nodded my head in 742Please respect copyright.PENANA3jMxISujEA
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 742Please respect copyright.PENANAmEl5750yG0
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.742Please respect copyright.PENANAgUVpBjuu5E
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.742Please respect copyright.PENANAwjnZWulys3
"Alright," I said 742Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ0bM09GxN
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 742Please respect copyright.PENANA6OaRlutUoF
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like742Please respect copyright.PENANAG9mIPaHr3i
I was only making things worse.742Please respect copyright.PENANAms9A69lTHv
Before I turned to leave742Please respect copyright.PENANAtHnqVmhVlY
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 742Please respect copyright.PENANA1t3ssviTYz
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 742Please respect copyright.PENANAch3A6ackJr
one.742Please respect copyright.PENANAIeytbqHRul
***742Please respect copyright.PENANAGjwrbEi9g0
I sat on the couch all 742Please respect copyright.PENANAiV59FehnDI
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued742Please respect copyright.PENANAWVxCnXyTkr
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"742Please respect copyright.PENANAwqsD2xO8VB
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 742Please respect copyright.PENANArQqJ6LcCNN
I had a box of paper 742Please respect copyright.PENANA3oqHv7z5w9
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my742Please respect copyright.PENANAVgg9u4LSHi
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAUVhbtOML0P
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6Sl6B30xRV
I continued watching the742Please respect copyright.PENANAfrwfr5kDjJ
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 742Please respect copyright.PENANAYP5H8ROg74
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAzNwIyA0hcZ
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.742Please respect copyright.PENANATYPC24Yeyh
"Never better," I said, 742Please respect copyright.PENANAC8mETYib4B
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 742Please respect copyright.PENANAFEa7uswpri
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."742Please respect copyright.PENANAWtQvYxH0pF
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.742Please respect copyright.PENANAi04NqtuOCR
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1efi8zStGn
"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.742Please respect copyright.PENANALVBmaKzcTL
"And the others?" 742Please respect copyright.PENANABZmLct6I7g
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.742Please respect copyright.PENANAaOlozr2066
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.742Please respect copyright.PENANAKXomEkN6pI
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANANwNpZg6NO2
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.742Please respect copyright.PENANA9gEu989FYI
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.742Please respect copyright.PENANALAWCNy8ywm
"You don't know or you are?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAAqL36ZMv2F
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.742Please respect copyright.PENANALh3ELH8Jik
"I don't know, Tae," I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAF0lhAGQSf0
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 742Please respect copyright.PENANANWXsGro9sV
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXNDWvggYr0
forget all that happened yesterday."742Please respect copyright.PENANANsfqzTLHRH
"Ya, I understand. They 742Please respect copyright.PENANAqoQ9gp3wfd
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 742Please respect copyright.PENANAclOyQhRh0e
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were742Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ61R3QYdX
going to get."742Please respect copyright.PENANAJW9E0qbsb0
I looked on at Taeyang 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxa7ae6uYq4
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAopEiMpuztl
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 742Please respect copyright.PENANALsMEkkbmGW
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 742Please respect copyright.PENANAdIke14GF6X
who was as tough as nails.742Please respect copyright.PENANAvAzmdzEfIH
Last night, I took the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZPAsLi5JxS
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 742Please respect copyright.PENANAu6KWYDp96b
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 742Please respect copyright.PENANAhPcMqCGIsH
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 742Please respect copyright.PENANAQdGwYKvt9i
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAV1uiJvJfxV
Apparently, the managers742Please respect copyright.PENANA6w18bjT2SO
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 742Please respect copyright.PENANAnXb8AuDUjT
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought742Please respect copyright.PENANA2PYlRiK1bX
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 742Please respect copyright.PENANABmXz9dkMeS
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 742Please respect copyright.PENANAkPDXIKXlM3
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 742Please respect copyright.PENANASs2zCKLDoW
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 742Please respect copyright.PENANAimAXFI4rsW
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 742Please respect copyright.PENANA8pRRa8PWtx
and the reporters.742Please respect copyright.PENANAD3u6mjfzF0
After my confrontation 742Please respect copyright.PENANAoiItEeW0tC
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I742Please respect copyright.PENANAx545UtNSQU
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,742Please respect copyright.PENANAdm3BATdnnO
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.742Please respect copyright.PENANASSVVVU9bAP
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANAJyLZyNTOvF
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.742Please respect copyright.PENANAkeTm4rkUmo
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."742Please respect copyright.PENANAmCnkaVBAnB
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."742Please respect copyright.PENANAq0oLwFS8FN
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."742Please respect copyright.PENANA4VLUMx3oRk
"Have you tried talking to GD?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAsmo8AtIRac
"To be honest, I haven't742Please respect copyright.PENANAx00gXnH7WT
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 742Please respect copyright.PENANAJD67pwOTh7
slap him in the face if I see him."742Please respect copyright.PENANAUPZsiyxm9v
"I don't doubt that."742Please respect copyright.PENANA8KXgQBbrcr
"And thank goodness my 742Please respect copyright.PENANA4fp5PgoNQg
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 742Please respect copyright.PENANAcAEWOQkUVw
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I742Please respect copyright.PENANAzpaQmwK5lI
want to do is watch some TV."742Please respect copyright.PENANATc3q5xW4Mf
I quickly drank my 742Please respect copyright.PENANAg3gSVIB81B
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 742Please respect copyright.PENANAW26WRDLSPw
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 742Please respect copyright.PENANA1Kyz3WtyJp
to.742Please respect copyright.PENANAFTU3uGVzYy
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.742Please respect copyright.PENANAv6isFJ92Bg
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.742Please respect copyright.PENANAUzcqMzphsx
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAwqlCmrAmYs
"Nope."742Please respect copyright.PENANA6kSxeraCLE
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.742Please respect copyright.PENANAlVyAC0So38
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAjHcUj301d3
Taeyang didn't say 742Please respect copyright.PENANA0e1IG7ycig
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened742Please respect copyright.PENANAYQBTxHEKow
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."742Please respect copyright.PENANAGBoyhsfASQ
"I know you fought or 742Please respect copyright.PENANA0ayfFoGNOw
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAnQG9fBEKlz
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."742Please respect copyright.PENANAXuOyjFeb9K
I noticed Taeyang smile 742Please respect copyright.PENANArnaJccIMqx
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 742Please respect copyright.PENANAwHM44m3jju
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 742Please respect copyright.PENANAhWjDDeZzkk
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.742Please respect copyright.PENANAjuowV3xJXm
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.742Please respect copyright.PENANAYJYhPjnaZ6
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."742Please respect copyright.PENANAki9sn9vfa9
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?742Please respect copyright.PENANAJnodtOiIWC
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.742Please respect copyright.PENANANBHH670BiG
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."742Please respect copyright.PENANAmgtOSA8KlC
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."742Please respect copyright.PENANAbHfUVC5pJY
Before I could finish my742Please respect copyright.PENANAZPWymnet0A
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 742Please respect copyright.PENANAduG1Tpj6de
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.742Please respect copyright.PENANAWOkwN3THQU
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.742Please respect copyright.PENANAI9AFFV767P
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.742Please respect copyright.PENANATF4eHRPtlY
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."742Please respect copyright.PENANA53hw4TxxAL
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."742Please respect copyright.PENANAZH4Cj5EHdB
"Yep, cheers to that." 742Please respect copyright.PENANAdFd6Ikkykx
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAILLAvNdmWd
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.742Please respect copyright.PENANAAihpfeaRpI
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA8OW3MatFv5
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANAzavseIdMv3
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."742Please respect copyright.PENANAElsdzqz5Jk
"Wow, that sounds personal."742Please respect copyright.PENANAOC66CG8k9w
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."742Please respect copyright.PENANALJvB2GW7Ds
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA3X8zKliMOr
"I think I've a better 742Please respect copyright.PENANAEM3SC3g80n
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 742Please respect copyright.PENANAIKLworkYVG
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 742Please respect copyright.PENANAPK2GrJIziF
lyrics. It's better that way."742Please respect copyright.PENANAh56ym005KC
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAw4IONPROfY
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."742Please respect copyright.PENANAMuBNG1YdeQ
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."742Please respect copyright.PENANA4cnwA909Aw
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."742Please respect copyright.PENANAnOdDubhjhc
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."742Please respect copyright.PENANA4HYVkj5yRg
"Haha, good point."742Please respect copyright.PENANA5SgDilIPpf
Taeyang and I continued 742Please respect copyright.PENANAEanLSJr3BN
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 742Please respect copyright.PENANAaiIwqLMfC2
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 742Please respect copyright.PENANAQUocydyRzv
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we742Please respect copyright.PENANAvrj1xzayfo
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 742Please respect copyright.PENANA54geSx8Vyo
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 742Please respect copyright.PENANAgGNyJnPTjP
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 742Please respect copyright.PENANANIMCduOkS2
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 742Please respect copyright.PENANA3HGnFjXfCw
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.742Please respect copyright.PENANASVMVZijc7A
While the two of us were742Please respect copyright.PENANAv6baib7uD9
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,742Please respect copyright.PENANAy8QymgEmS6
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 742Please respect copyright.PENANA4SUOGZriTZ
I quickly went over to 742Please respect copyright.PENANABsn1hXQWux
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was742Please respect copyright.PENANAcUvl6zqpRx
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung742Please respect copyright.PENANAn6teeXjfnV
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could742Please respect copyright.PENANAdljxczihXd
come up and I put the receiver down.742Please respect copyright.PENANAzrVjoIuFVp
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."742Please respect copyright.PENANAQTFi7Fg8gY
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."742Please respect copyright.PENANAgnMyoDjcHh
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."742Please respect copyright.PENANA43DsT3TyH9
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1KLEVo03ld
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.742Please respect copyright.PENANAVw2tzEhnSW
"Eww, that pillow 742Please respect copyright.PENANANZ8sV4PbpB
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 742Please respect copyright.PENANAuQHjn2M2I3
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.742Please respect copyright.PENANAGeIsKKj21b
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.742Please respect copyright.PENANAac3ZqUh39h
A few seconds later, we 742Please respect copyright.PENANA9ugX5mYbui
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 742Please respect copyright.PENANAQDGXwZ8YH9
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 742Please respect copyright.PENANAFwZD88dTFw
holding a box of chocolates.742Please respect copyright.PENANAoZKR0Eo31Q
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.742Please respect copyright.PENANA7gEtYt4Y1W
"Ah, no, the panda is a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAv4TBeKpO6y
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 742Please respect copyright.PENANAJT5rcg9RGL
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXCzTL31rk2
same time.742Please respect copyright.PENANALeRgDIxFNO
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."742Please respect copyright.PENANAoJYcobXuTX
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.742Please respect copyright.PENANAnyvGdUfJmO
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA81aRLUayQM
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."742Please respect copyright.PENANAZFvg9vRW0Y
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.742Please respect copyright.PENANAI9rIzAzmyD
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.742Please respect copyright.PENANAyRtB9WMred
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."742Please respect copyright.PENANAZSIoatscZV
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.742Please respect copyright.PENANAE0tS3yRaDx
"For goodness sake, I 742Please respect copyright.PENANArd2EdP7YKv
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 742Please respect copyright.PENANAgl9hnv6X1R
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 742Please respect copyright.PENANAjID6coegf1
scared with me."742Please respect copyright.PENANAAeAWj38Gse
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.742Please respect copyright.PENANAWrHgtcmaGI
I took the panda in my 742Please respect copyright.PENANAeSuK9fgVlg
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 742Please respect copyright.PENANAVnTINRCqBQ
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAt3qQHzIsGg
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 742Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bx2xH6nEd
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.742Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ2PRtRPq5
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."742Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ1BezNAu6
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."742Please respect copyright.PENANAv92OTP5tLE
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"742Please respect copyright.PENANApmrtGBqn9m
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.742Please respect copyright.PENANAwWYg1SZhkF
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."742Please respect copyright.PENANAjqjoWuG2nl
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I742Please respect copyright.PENANATtPwdWchbs
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 742Please respect copyright.PENANApwEDYXYyjS
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 742Please respect copyright.PENANAUSZDjz7OeN
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."742Please respect copyright.PENANAMUt7HSkPVk
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."742Please respect copyright.PENANAIacAOm5GRS
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."742Please respect copyright.PENANAQTq8iOXU9z
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.742Please respect copyright.PENANApGThPJcANv
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."742Please respect copyright.PENANAqigSHKuGag
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.742Please respect copyright.PENANAwbYUUd1brE
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."742Please respect copyright.PENANAVYvTUVgtFO
"Ya, I do."742Please respect copyright.PENANAvIOwVE4v8Q
While the four of us 742Please respect copyright.PENANApxmv9ud6sZ
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 742Please respect copyright.PENANA9jyil4Qn6r
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxRWpy4dwU3
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 742Please respect copyright.PENANAcClzwyo5ak
said:742Please respect copyright.PENANA0CFhX8uh6h
"Hey, Zoey." 742Please respect copyright.PENANAzPYFRQ8vfx
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAW0gQMxuMlO
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."742Please respect copyright.PENANAl8mMPu2251
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.742Please respect copyright.PENANAazeucwgf1a
"It's good you came to 742Please respect copyright.PENANApWeaRxcXwB
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAv2YmlGJJ0O
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAfovjshUxoh
couch.742Please respect copyright.PENANAYHEKXCFOvA
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"742Please respect copyright.PENANADoHAYFsp8P
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"742Please respect copyright.PENANAPkgQrRTPCG
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAx3FdzNTOPK
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 742Please respect copyright.PENANA4p0B98s1F9
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.742Please respect copyright.PENANAHguViLCnir
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.742Please respect copyright.PENANATReRAcxUhm
I tugged at my panda's 742Please respect copyright.PENANAqYb3xpAVZg
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it742Please respect copyright.PENANAT4eKI5owJy
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking742Please respect copyright.PENANA6UqTKjW77T
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPMMVLkuL52
The Toxins came back to 742Please respect copyright.PENANASR08e9Bzfa
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held742Please respect copyright.PENANAjsYWTyRVll
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine742Please respect copyright.PENANAsXAOdgUkjX
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.742Please respect copyright.PENANA94douBTESg
For a moment, no one 742Please respect copyright.PENANA1YgtJAJunn
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 742Please respect copyright.PENANA04nemn3s6Z
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.742Please respect copyright.PENANApeFYqZMtUD
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.742Please respect copyright.PENANAERabaBqG11
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 742Please respect copyright.PENANA874VjdIc3k
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.742Please respect copyright.PENANAoAPJ18RDmE
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."742Please respect copyright.PENANAu5AvaAqGwv
I stared up at the 742Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fue6m8ArG
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 742Please respect copyright.PENANAlnTyDNRNBX
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.742Please respect copyright.PENANAgHHv8nPyCp
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."742Please respect copyright.PENANAcOsabepOxt
When Zoey tried to reach742Please respect copyright.PENANA47zsHc9iaW
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 742Please respect copyright.PENANA24HCKqIf8E
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.742Please respect copyright.PENANA07dpECdzFX
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.742Please respect copyright.PENANABbsHtjlOck
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.742Please respect copyright.PENANAzHLaQkkq4c
Zoey looked hurt with 742Please respect copyright.PENANA9mGhc1xF2h
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAHlxw1XRjV2
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.742Please respect copyright.PENANAA6VgtISbnK
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAhCMPgLHWBz
I didn't answer as I put742Please respect copyright.PENANArDe9BpO3nm
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I742Please respect copyright.PENANAZNvaAbRUc2
was still mad, especially at Zoey.742Please respect copyright.PENANAO3tcCscxYR
"I know it's a little 742Please respect copyright.PENANAhGjbrnvmnP
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 742Please respect copyright.PENANAENuqY9e87i
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 742Please respect copyright.PENANANeOk3B3vR6
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 742Please respect copyright.PENANATqxtFMvGo7
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAbY92RI3cw2
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 742Please respect copyright.PENANArQSzj7k2eF
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."742Please respect copyright.PENANAqN7enllZgq
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.742Please respect copyright.PENANAbOFNS7Wtrk
"I don't like it when 742Please respect copyright.PENANAaR9RKszDTi
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 742Please respect copyright.PENANA3yC7kb5lIJ
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 742Please respect copyright.PENANAdK3uoScj0s
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 742Please respect copyright.PENANA2ykwqNND2Y
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 742Please respect copyright.PENANA5WHBnCoKsV
sorry, Sam."742Please respect copyright.PENANAqEQOd4Fj9m
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."742Please respect copyright.PENANATm6Mf2PDQj
"I'm sorry too," said 742Please respect copyright.PENANAI1O9GliMVz
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 742Please respect copyright.PENANAKo6yCbfkkI
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxASWCY1Epg
for you to talk to us again."742Please respect copyright.PENANAFrDD1n4DIg
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 742Please respect copyright.PENANAJJIDkCyJ97
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 742Please respect copyright.PENANALcEvqqzKVi
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 742Please respect copyright.PENANAlB4fluXgKa
leader."742Please respect copyright.PENANAGpAoWbQ37s
I still didn't say a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXbt3xcqDSK
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 742Please respect copyright.PENANAbEjdllgLkE
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 742Please respect copyright.PENANAqOCHJSTKdc
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 742Please respect copyright.PENANA0kc7JKpLdl
them despite the awful things they put me through.742Please respect copyright.PENANA5YQHgm0hHa
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAlNYiC2WiZ5
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."742Please respect copyright.PENANAnTGDrJOfm2
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.742Please respect copyright.PENANAjhdC0Y1Hww
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.742Please respect copyright.PENANAboSlCJm446
"I'm mad and pretty much742Please respect copyright.PENANAXJqdhdBZuT
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 742Please respect copyright.PENANATGzBkAXEkN
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."742Please respect copyright.PENANACpi7ce0Md9
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAeWSKqFGZx8
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."742Please respect copyright.PENANAjkTkLWDg8C
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.742Please respect copyright.PENANA9SqZ85oYCz
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 742Please respect copyright.PENANAnkXJXhIPjM
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAzMJ0lf2w5w
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."742Please respect copyright.PENANAmcEFXaYPSg
"Ah, you! Always acting 742Please respect copyright.PENANAeWp29wxcMV
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 742Please respect copyright.PENANAiAUJMTuMWY
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 742Please respect copyright.PENANA9KLGJvJMiE
catch it anyway."742Please respect copyright.PENANAsDgIV426KB
Christine, Daniel and 742Please respect copyright.PENANALOelKw8sOt
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAhUO4Rn0zFa
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 742Please respect copyright.PENANA8nzY1yflSi
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.742Please respect copyright.PENANAXBqSmoZiyG
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.742Please respect copyright.PENANAebqzxLrYPf
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.742Please respect copyright.PENANA8dxsAQzjsU
"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...."742Please respect copyright.PENANAoJPYJe0qHK
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.742Please respect copyright.PENANAm1Fl6xL7XY
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."742Please respect copyright.PENANAQm00cb7GKz
"Don't worry, you won't 742Please respect copyright.PENANA419Gf1SIVM
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 742Please respect copyright.PENANAPq1TwiPZbW
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.742Please respect copyright.PENANAcIHPK581bf
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.742Please respect copyright.PENANAbxCUFwJOgi
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.742Please respect copyright.PENANAgflmomQinp
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA1VA6GqkeAb
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."742Please respect copyright.PENANAccDw7fAYu8
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.742Please respect copyright.PENANAzbZ6l2XCsJ
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAavQPUGUTff
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"742Please respect copyright.PENANADaHevuydph
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."742Please respect copyright.PENANA6LYK0hQER9
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.742Please respect copyright.PENANAL5DipXjfWo
At that moment, I had 742Please respect copyright.PENANAeANl1YDUQv
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.742Please respect copyright.PENANA83Dlj2uoXa
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.742Please respect copyright.PENANA8E5MzUXzhR
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANApkHZdwd4SZ
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.742Please respect copyright.PENANAJgboVWEMNc
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."742Please respect copyright.PENANAYWqOkV1ts1
Zoey got the box of 742Please respect copyright.PENANADYwFMoCSkf
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAqsa52lLJS6
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.742Please respect copyright.PENANAa3OmlbH5Pq
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.742Please respect copyright.PENANA5eeYJdB1Vr
I was in the passage as I742Please respect copyright.PENANAYj815JO2iG
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 742Please respect copyright.PENANAVwpnzV5lg9
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed742Please respect copyright.PENANA9IqMtFSiR7
in what felt like sadness.742Please respect copyright.PENANAKCRgAWH1PV
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAzgmxECaEj0
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."742Please respect copyright.PENANAhCwFptRkxN
I heard his footsteps 742Please respect copyright.PENANAcXS0FrsNo9
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAGFfBrCagWr
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.742Please respect copyright.PENANAd7zDbd6GBz
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANA52YZE3itDq
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANANhF4NWmWci
"Are we really do this right now?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA1ypkZlBkNe
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 742Please respect copyright.PENANA1rKegmWo4i
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.742Please respect copyright.PENANAN5k6cbqyce
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAGpzGGJM1Z5
"Nope." 742Please respect copyright.PENANApUZRoyOjjG
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."742Please respect copyright.PENANAzzahEP761S
My eyes almost felt like742Please respect copyright.PENANA90Db521iTV
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 742Please respect copyright.PENANAt2CT5xuU9u
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.742Please respect copyright.PENANAIFQk5HQja5
I turned to look at him 742Please respect copyright.PENANAbjRk1HJinj
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXRUza49S4j
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.742Please respect copyright.PENANASFBRye6G3o
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.742Please respect copyright.PENANAXWjOKPPyDW
"That you're surrounded 742Please respect copyright.PENANAq7OSJNcpKe
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 742Please respect copyright.PENANAADDGSwItdn
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 742Please respect copyright.PENANAuZy2VlyQYR
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."742Please respect copyright.PENANAmjw1tBiQes
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 742Please respect copyright.PENANApkelIYgOIw
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."742Please respect copyright.PENANAlNk0hkSwHR
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAIOfa9anplQ
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."742Please respect copyright.PENANArNZUV2FYCk
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."742Please respect copyright.PENANALNf7C3kRE6
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA2nhUd8ih2r
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."742Please respect copyright.PENANAdpMbOCcLAZ
Apparently, I couldn't 742Please respect copyright.PENANAYb1senSuLf
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXYIjk4PtjK
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAVku2CKmYAB
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 742Please respect copyright.PENANAyF81TasKM4
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 742Please respect copyright.PENANAKjXZm9d8ya
death.742Please respect copyright.PENANAMcSuWIkgqw
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.742Please respect copyright.PENANABqDPhpZnNL
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."742Please respect copyright.PENANAkIowmezcZw
Taeyang folded his arms 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxFB6lUZ8zl
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think742Please respect copyright.PENANAKxyIq3llOX
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."742Please respect copyright.PENANAMWEtfVKizI
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.742Please respect copyright.PENANAh0fAKoFXoo
"You're may think you're742Please respect copyright.PENANAiY9zmSVzWC
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 742Please respect copyright.PENANAtL6N0Wa8xI
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 742Please respect copyright.PENANAwEisnHPZ1L
but feeling hurt."742Please respect copyright.PENANAcqOvm45nth
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.742Please respect copyright.PENANAKIt1KrXeQp
"But I wouldn't feel 742Please respect copyright.PENANACLTFjjP5io
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 742Please respect copyright.PENANA7EX96isX3q
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxPLdWZC69M
at Taeyang.742Please respect copyright.PENANApiOlhgvxiP
Taeyang gave me that 742Please respect copyright.PENANAzS4TSzcHN2
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 742Please respect copyright.PENANAEITSJZ2Ct2
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 742Please respect copyright.PENANABmAYPtGiRp
while in return, he nodded.742Please respect copyright.PENANAkInQBPGEt5
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAcNfpPbbhVJ
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."742Please respect copyright.PENANAhRZOP0w7xX
I didn't say a word as I742Please respect copyright.PENANAHnv7fq2AaZ
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my742Please respect copyright.PENANAlWiDbyDU6I
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 742Please respect copyright.PENANAPR6Pw23CCd
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 742Please respect copyright.PENANAkHFIm3Wdi0
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.742Please respect copyright.PENANA3MZzQtuObM
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."742Please respect copyright.PENANAnn4bRtkzCh
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."742Please respect copyright.PENANAVsIrlCzQz9
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."742Please respect copyright.PENANAPFLWfVAcSq
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAnVREmMjglx
If there was ever a way I742Please respect copyright.PENANAg11EyDV4Un
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 742Please respect copyright.PENANAjJH8WGUMCk
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 742Please respect copyright.PENANA7aANOmmCyH
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.742Please respect copyright.PENANArKuAD5aPcQ
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAlAMbt0TwPW
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAN6EOSr6BVa
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.742Please respect copyright.PENANA3POerQWJ7X
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.742Please respect copyright.PENANA9htNGOW2Tc
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAy1l1k3nqnS
"Well, I'm just asking,"742Please respect copyright.PENANA3pvLNfjXX7
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,742Please respect copyright.PENANAsnssDXLcox
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."742Please respect copyright.PENANA3kTzscwcL7
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.742Please respect copyright.PENANACaYNnOr0CV
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.742Please respect copyright.PENANASsN9IwkdmL
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.742Please respect copyright.PENANAcjwvRFDuIT
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.742Please respect copyright.PENANA8194g540x4
I pressed the button 742Please respect copyright.PENANAHeGzKbSXXL
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 742Please respect copyright.PENANAnQJxDYMLJB
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 742Please respect copyright.PENANAnvrCXZthcA
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q7l09ZufH
We went to the main 742Please respect copyright.PENANALpT6H29JO1
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for742Please respect copyright.PENANAgVjf9koHuQ
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 742Please respect copyright.PENANA10JEoWDMHu
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.742Please respect copyright.PENANAXI51Fg73Ds
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEpW9SSwykw
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 742Please respect copyright.PENANA61oSaVTgWc
"To be honest, we just 742Please respect copyright.PENANAMtfa8fT4St
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAojWujuL1ED
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."742Please respect copyright.PENANAQHgSFBX3ni
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.742Please respect copyright.PENANAlz0S0nxypU
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.742Please respect copyright.PENANAtXs9FRDCxt
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.742Please respect copyright.PENANAwlP3if3EIV
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPUrKUd7YKz
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.742Please respect copyright.PENANA7P3ZlcJ00l
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAUzqd1RHkTu
"Nah, I don't think so,"742Please respect copyright.PENANAme6yHJ119u
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so742Please respect copyright.PENANAUfJ8FQOIZo
he would be treating me like that."742Please respect copyright.PENANAEQEo7hqlVE
"Mmm, I don't think so,"742Please respect copyright.PENANAr3lwokUOCC
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 742Please respect copyright.PENANA9Zt1e0KTeb
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAiZV34b6Vm5
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."742Please respect copyright.PENANAh9rJqgYRTL
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.742Please respect copyright.PENANAU91XVZ6z3T
"Then, stop trying to make one."742Please respect copyright.PENANAuYUKjS8gN8
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."742Please respect copyright.PENANAzPaTS2lhhB
"Ya, me too," said Mike.742Please respect copyright.PENANAB44U2LMmOL
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1slBhhbIwb
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAeYcUTIi3C6
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.742Please respect copyright.PENANAnC0cM3xG9Q
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."742Please respect copyright.PENANA2oKwUZLDtY
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAgKCJpL4TiX
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.742Please respect copyright.PENANAa4zQxq4032
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."742Please respect copyright.PENANAuzQBvIA8Qf
I didn't even dare try 742Please respect copyright.PENANAqchV1eexhH
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXK1kRNzDRM
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEFDJxNLXWg
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAvAEe99Y86U
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAV0q3vbHJJq
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPwYw36QTox
I heard footsteps coming742Please respect copyright.PENANAiXNikLhNhi
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 742Please respect copyright.PENANAD1q9JZiwDG
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 742Please respect copyright.PENANAp8XR9QJi68
look at me.742Please respect copyright.PENANA5hraCugXAe
"Are you okay?" he whispered.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1xSnH7ahDw
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.742Please respect copyright.PENANASgaq0wd3eM
I soon felt strong hands742Please respect copyright.PENANA0K1mcX6ZgO
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD742Please respect copyright.PENANAcnJoqWglpr
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPa84lepWRT
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAPw68xOI1Qa
"I'm a whole lot better,742Please respect copyright.PENANATv63ZVxfev
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 742Please respect copyright.PENANAbCIavnb4Jq
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.742Please respect copyright.PENANA8dObyoxbJq
"Glad to hear that."742Please respect copyright.PENANAK3nHehijOZ
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.742Please respect copyright.PENANADuUTDgcvsy
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."742Please respect copyright.PENANAUfYwdg3QUl
I was planning not to 742Please respect copyright.PENANATRqAxGIyt5
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 742Please respect copyright.PENANAzD0UvWlVsu
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 742Please respect copyright.PENANAkV8Rm3aupk
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to742Please respect copyright.PENANAupxgXYCRhI
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 742Please respect copyright.PENANANIvenfwsqp
under the bridge.742Please respect copyright.PENANA73kuiiy11v
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."742Please respect copyright.PENANAqmoUmaw5Da
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAzO1RfmBBm0
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."742Please respect copyright.PENANAZNr6fBQySe
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."742Please respect copyright.PENANAO1Cey4EJow
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.742Please respect copyright.PENANAduZ9q3jEji
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.742Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9NOH94rko
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAc8VIcXC5h8
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."742Please respect copyright.PENANAQqvCNLEBrp
The waiters soon came 742Please respect copyright.PENANAqIkhX2Q7V7
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.742Please respect copyright.PENANAX5ocYRJuWn
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 742Please respect copyright.PENANAPxaoFfatEG
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 742Please respect copyright.PENANAFYaer1inyL
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.742Please respect copyright.PENANAdZQHzOtT1l
For a moment, I felt 742Please respect copyright.PENANA1DoFGPXW6d
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAUrM92J79Nk
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 742Please respect copyright.PENANA77rRXjKsET
me to forget that I was ever mad.742Please respect copyright.PENANADGgESCfdX9
"Mmm, this is so 742Please respect copyright.PENANAQJSmzVkAWf
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 742Please respect copyright.PENANArbtaIjz7a9
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."742Please respect copyright.PENANAScB1AhiB56
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."742Please respect copyright.PENANA8m0PdjvQGb
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."742Please respect copyright.PENANAdhPcOO8AP2
"Anything for you, Sam,"742Please respect copyright.PENANAlMQvPxKLAm
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 742Please respect copyright.PENANARdWAPHgCHH
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."742Please respect copyright.PENANAlfRNwLf1oF
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6gNBRGwKjD
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.742Please respect copyright.PENANAKMoqdiNdzm
I had just taken in some742Please respect copyright.PENANAkBqA4JdE4x
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZia050iz71
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly742Please respect copyright.PENANAZXF9JsRBA1
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 742Please respect copyright.PENANAyPLLZPYaIb
just said.742Please respect copyright.PENANAxHhdDOCItN
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6ShFhGa7Mm
"Well, ya," Christine 742Please respect copyright.PENANAAovcfFRckl
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 742Please respect copyright.PENANAKWxBZKCeSp
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAnLOgDTbaU4
special lunch to lighten your mood."742Please respect copyright.PENANAHiU8060DcT
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.742Please respect copyright.PENANAU6osZVflBS
"Thanks for the lunch, 742Please respect copyright.PENANAczYzycZcgV
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so742Please respect copyright.PENANAbK53N6pYLC
sweet of you to have come up with this."742Please respect copyright.PENANAhfNHRaPw96
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAZZs8ioYUHw
I almost felt like 742Please respect copyright.PENANA2TE256nrlS
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 742Please respect copyright.PENANACEiQXbd3Eq
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare742Please respect copyright.PENANAxuBTMHMrQh
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 742Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZVqzy7EZV
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 742Please respect copyright.PENANAOutDP5wojx
turning into rage?742Please respect copyright.PENANAN4qFMa9kkx
Oh, goodness. I needed 742Please respect copyright.PENANASd3FynFkZ5
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 742Please respect copyright.PENANAogkAz8S8F4
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 742Please respect copyright.PENANAyYxPax56DB
I tried to push aside 742Please respect copyright.PENANAsVXySa5nBT
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 742Please respect copyright.PENANA3MO9UAB97V
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXhKTxhEIoD
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 742Please respect copyright.PENANAAps1IzNl0f
chocolate moussé.742Please respect copyright.PENANAn3VO27X75W
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,742Please respect copyright.PENANA3bf7IgA2mu
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 742Please respect copyright.PENANA5dApXW3HAM
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1gssQnFH6R
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.742Please respect copyright.PENANANBqnAE14HR
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."742Please respect copyright.PENANA8a3lCuG0f1
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.742Please respect copyright.PENANACM6sZzSzzv
I didn't wait for 742Please respect copyright.PENANAPafo2HNNjb
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I742Please respect copyright.PENANAlWxt2KHcul
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed742Please respect copyright.PENANADnivqHKEdc
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 742Please respect copyright.PENANAUipjT8lH8v
heaven.742Please respect copyright.PENANA4IfcsmXazQ
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.742Please respect copyright.PENANANfYdQ8aty1
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."742Please respect copyright.PENANAr95dnTrFg3
"I don't care," I said 742Please respect copyright.PENANAkr1fqgbnX1
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 742Please respect copyright.PENANAN5BxlXcAi2
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."742Please respect copyright.PENANAcP4k0BhTac
G-Dragon smiled back at 742Please respect copyright.PENANAK3CYUxEdvL
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 742Please respect copyright.PENANA9oxyeJlCq8
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 742Please respect copyright.PENANAAjTQOvprBW
away.742Please respect copyright.PENANASF6bvY5nKb
After dessert, we all 742Please respect copyright.PENANAh92Ih3GGJN
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 742Please respect copyright.PENANAUC7XL6Ehpl
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 742Please respect copyright.PENANAPx6ZjZq8nV
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 742Please respect copyright.PENANA8bhod2QLPW
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 742Please respect copyright.PENANA53qxwIeLca
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAbDAqRvhzui
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.742Please respect copyright.PENANADgqap4ExzZ
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAwsJPXF9foj
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.742Please respect copyright.PENANAZvdjhXEXBh
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."742Please respect copyright.PENANAaLKn1TZtu1
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.742Please respect copyright.PENANADteJxT2pjr
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."742Please respect copyright.PENANA9zzTmux6el
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."742Please respect copyright.PENANAPzXWZ6ogRe
"What stuff?" TOP asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAcS26LTi7WK
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAMIX30Tj64e
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."742Please respect copyright.PENANAJYUyP3iiNC
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.742Please respect copyright.PENANAdso7KukE4y
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.742Please respect copyright.PENANAs8PdOWvt5w
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.742Please respect copyright.PENANAJSeT4m93XG
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.742Please respect copyright.PENANAI4tkS8hlmZ
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."742Please respect copyright.PENANA7QYZrLoIGu
"Wait, what's going on?"742Please respect copyright.PENANApPjaUpSARV
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAjscXBOnLoB
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAdZhTlNmGdi
"I thought we should all742Please respect copyright.PENANAjpMEfi7Znn
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 742Please respect copyright.PENANADwYIMYuWlx
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."742Please respect copyright.PENANABAemaRtWp2
"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.742Please respect copyright.PENANApVxlcsjbXx
"I don't know, I feel we742Please respect copyright.PENANAvUTrj8U1T3
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.742Please respect copyright.PENANA7NB4Y2xQDX
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out742Please respect copyright.PENANAUaK1NutxlU
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."742Please respect copyright.PENANAB3deUFQ8I8
"I don't get it though,"742Please respect copyright.PENANAyVXYS0WeDd
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 742Please respect copyright.PENANAJe7at0MOSa
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write742Please respect copyright.PENANAyq71aZOC9w
the lyrics?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAJhSGRGmXVp
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.742Please respect copyright.PENANAdAxWm4df7C
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAmO65ufz6TU
This time, I also raised742Please respect copyright.PENANAg3dNDIMfU9
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 742Please respect copyright.PENANAfK01IcRm88
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEbAh65zGAv
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAAtNl5rvc6c
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.742Please respect copyright.PENANAzexL48boup
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.742Please respect copyright.PENANA9Qdk0TEtxU
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAAuKXGfCsOW
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."742Please respect copyright.PENANA59AGslqRBg
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAIBcn7tijon
By the way G-Dragon 742Please respect copyright.PENANALst6wM8igX
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 742Please respect copyright.PENANAyUxMD638ZS
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And742Please respect copyright.PENANAgau6jEqRfs
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of742Please respect copyright.PENANAgd2TkfTMTx
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.742Please respect copyright.PENANA8gr7PUFLpj
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."742Please respect copyright.PENANAnbeelmY1qz
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"742Please respect copyright.PENANASLkWMAp9wT
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANAxjEJX25AuW
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.742Please respect copyright.PENANAfA0tqa0NKT
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAMbBWKSEtT1
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.742Please respect copyright.PENANAXAzytCdLko
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."742Please respect copyright.PENANArQ8jF2xf4x
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."742Please respect copyright.PENANAniTUqLruCh
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."742Please respect copyright.PENANA4OuhDyVZcF
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."742Please respect copyright.PENANAdhXaNAon35
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."742Please respect copyright.PENANAfXtSOMLV2S
"What truth?" I asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANApOX2szcW4M
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."742Please respect copyright.PENANAGX0h60XHQ9
Taeyang was right. I was742Please respect copyright.PENANAZWzTFmdQLK
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 742Please respect copyright.PENANACIxBXxJAQH
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 742Please respect copyright.PENANATVbiw3sC0S
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 742Please respect copyright.PENANAMY9x7pKBJd
attention.742Please respect copyright.PENANADXoFnqZ6q3
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."742Please respect copyright.PENANAULOT8D26D2
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."742Please respect copyright.PENANASQRXXyYeqK
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel742Please respect copyright.PENANApJKMGUrPsu
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 742Please respect copyright.PENANAf94g7GfrZP
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!742Please respect copyright.PENANAK9RLjXPkQd
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1gKPuKRwEr
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.742Please respect copyright.PENANAnsT0m5bQhh
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.742Please respect copyright.PENANAx0AMNmOP1D
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.742Please respect copyright.PENANAHaljlwrjXV
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.742Please respect copyright.PENANAOekZSrq1mV
"But I....." 742Please respect copyright.PENANAzpGgb5rZ7P
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 742Please respect copyright.PENANAUKf0hNpN9G
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've742Please respect copyright.PENANA7P6xizIxe5
talked way too much, don't you think?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAHB9bAMAeFJ
That felt like a slap in742Please respect copyright.PENANAZHY5WyND9v
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 742Please respect copyright.PENANA16cQSvM5vB
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 742Please respect copyright.PENANAcw8WuqT14K
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 742Please respect copyright.PENANAKoFSjBhUHz
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 742Please respect copyright.PENANAHN5VLA0wIp
about what I thought was best for the whole group?742Please respect copyright.PENANA3gI7089Fb0
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1UUhLh92xa
"That's fine with me," said Mike.742Please respect copyright.PENANAQLqnyoxqX6
Everyone else agreed, 742Please respect copyright.PENANAqe8Ltxhchv
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 742Please respect copyright.PENANAJuSbrFO2Lc
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 742Please respect copyright.PENANAUKhVGFEEc7
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 742Please respect copyright.PENANA2cauaSadCA
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 742Please respect copyright.PENANAkXmSFjQ41H
B, just in case.742Please respect copyright.PENANAbCAMoExEiu
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.742Please respect copyright.PENANAJEiWfZ6BM9
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.742Please respect copyright.PENANABxDpXkZLg4
"Not now, Sam. We will 742Please respect copyright.PENANAD9SunSKUBW
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 742Please respect copyright.PENANAarK5TKofDS
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 742Please respect copyright.PENANAMkp2ShmS5v
gave me goosebumps.742Please respect copyright.PENANADdJntaNOel
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANAkuZ6jyII85
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAFbbKAzpJwX
One by one everyone 742Please respect copyright.PENANAyPxgyTlKoO
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 742Please respect copyright.PENANA5nAQanvSOf
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem742Please respect copyright.PENANAqqfQZKWvG5
appropriate.742Please respect copyright.PENANAZIyrpIr15f
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.742Please respect copyright.PENANAtcM5eqvSQG
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1yEiA179kh
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.742Please respect copyright.PENANA5z3FptMesX
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.742Please respect copyright.PENANADUgGnIRzoW
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."742Please respect copyright.PENANAyuxJUJpwEM
"It's not that. I pissed742Please respect copyright.PENANATtjJBpTuzv
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take742Please respect copyright.PENANAyAlLjux5IL
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."742Please respect copyright.PENANAsG2pNlbyA8
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."742Please respect copyright.PENANAL2Lb7T6V5f
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."742Please respect copyright.PENANAZb3fHRTms9
Taeyang placed his hand 742Please respect copyright.PENANAcOIN7Sxojc
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He742Please respect copyright.PENANAAQFu2HsX1N
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.742Please respect copyright.PENANA8jIQlaE4Qj
I knew I had to hope for742Please respect copyright.PENANAn466yiX6ux
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut742Please respect copyright.PENANABrgZjWSqBb
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 742Please respect copyright.PENANA29ak68S2ja
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 742Please respect copyright.PENANAsCBrHYK8UZ
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 742Please respect copyright.PENANAvOraKTR4Lg
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
