The water felt like a 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE178sskRh
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKKHy4Tjk6
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmqdIvGgcD
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGUILDa0Lp
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMJr6YJ3ea
breathe. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbXKpopZaZ
I pushed myself upwards 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlylZLVBqW
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt72AONSBy
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaty3c3HsxA
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr4Ru4zzr3
edge.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcG2joMsh6
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLi205IOUZ
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyCLm6Owoa
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUiwQua6ph
I looked ridiculously 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsTSSCGtiD
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvgYyPE5k8
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ62JLnSQ2
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWx3qHxmKZ
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cthvFUp1H
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDypdByINz
I looked around me and 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYxv540N4E
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3av3o5sRmY
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNTwT8hEk8
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0PBHmgYTq
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetB15yHcxd
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1fheUpFfW
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjqWGXYWsp
I heard Zoey and the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YqbWdnnpP
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetbhIjXa49
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GknOREJhv
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGCwrN8OeJ
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6FLknbZjJ
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sH7tB556a
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnRDTVkXAY
"I already told you, I'm1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCTljIoKEr
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXD0jIKxNn
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMdA15VTd3
from anyone.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyobDpHlLV
I made my way towards GD1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eHreTUHWa
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xXCuS0Rh0
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx8xbTyOaH
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZlD00asCF
"Oh, man, Sam," said 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yPPlTD4Eh
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHE6lugSpY
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Uu7cw0jxk
game. Hope you didn't mind."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCKyHYbS9D
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWF6d41zZN
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaddb5zjpFH
"I told you, our 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO31JPrAj9r
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZqM5XIBxS
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxOEUnzhxz
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbYVuon2Le
Daesung.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoPk7kGJ2E
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkh2r3ufgu
I dialled Lee's number 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSz83bLNGA
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XqiFTkurl
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eNwatlC9i
They would know soon enough.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDTnVMQoXD
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4o2OPudJq
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNiULjI5zE
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj3RoThT6H
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRj5JmMAoi
"No, not yet. But you 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh7V7phafd
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgyf2dXFtm
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsbF0LfkvA
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi0L9U6T4A
"Okay, I'll be waiting."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwYCuGSzQ3
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjag1OvKRa
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dbNRE29U2
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBQur3orcv
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxScXXHQWHo
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ENLjlxIBi
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgNd0pKG92
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVvrD4bfe6
I shook my head. I was 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJznn38wU9
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9sz15prtK
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JpZR4NnSo
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0fYndnQs9
After walking a few feet1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgkfqkfMkm
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCtgkTDtBn
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL24pmEc5iN
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfJKWnPwSg
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzJggidNxj
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTQqffXD0t
None of them answered as1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHyQIR0jPq
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOeJifTk77
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQNvuutQPt
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6btWIN6OY4
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAbgfn3FCT
"I wasn't going to say 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OJYw5ayE8
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU7y9fsxHR
you would want to hear from me is advice."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nFgmsBFAt
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWKpM5i7Yo
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvMu5TCV8k
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNHHgz3eJz
"I'm still upset, though."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPR6IeqlRv
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETQQq6SXPg
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDjc2UQ21H
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdzMOk4oq6
I gave TOP an assuring 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36ZMxRWUqw
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUVVtNQYiQ
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ2A0kcAhZ
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0OYU40Zy5
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ZLFTsK5w
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxn9nFh6JT
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW8JthAhXt
We all found ourselves 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW06JJQ7YWo
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QhE85qQm9
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowG6wTg8MV
were waiting for me. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBGDu30jYn
"Hey, Sam, you don't 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39rdade3ui
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ270TskmW3u
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisljGPvP1o
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL5hOT4WvU
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMtCqaPrIl
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYC3PylN8C
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFdwALV4Zf
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQxvnovieC
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBFtWeJlXn
I had my eyes closed 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGGN6UyS3W
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UEeWWCKUQ
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylvdH9R8xP
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE4LKBUgEw
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWVGpNPASY
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyNC9TISaT
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg5rWA0Ayb
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ692WQMeLey
Taeyang led me to his 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2hJe0Nw99
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM65kBNHOs
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd5QCOVS88
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DmmF7ggvS
In about thirty minutes,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolQQ4kdB3f
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrtWXBTFxX
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P020BMLmh
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZHBgULoN6
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMMMGRmPf5
appeared out of the elevator.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4hAZ7AAbh
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglX67i4boa
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxqVNwvdt9
Lee who stood behind 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4yOvYUdQe
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMwKnDboAQ
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGADJAHebs
other things in mind.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYJSuthjax
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1lX5ZxJec
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf8bj0RCf0
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNja0qbPpXn
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CzPnM0f3x
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8cCv9q7BF
"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."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikKmfXpCVS
There was an awkward 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQDcyQyXSF
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5PX0cFOUW
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SQYeOLSCm
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrHtCVbfYd
"Well, I hear the press 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRKObPkwaz
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz4RxZ6Egt
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIRPyo4tCZ
"That won't be 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zxNQTS3Qe
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge16HRCmyx
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWfZzMWI6T
go to the press looking all wet."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID7zTgC9hL
I breathed out a sigh of1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIBqXYrsJK
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1zx6SwGmO
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIiIqJ1gdY
"In the meantime, you go1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN0Nx7LKmb
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbBjbWatgC
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5SmIAt7ZP
I nodded my head in 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpEPmwSVPR
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcDfd5lATd
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXrFvZSx5i
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIrtQx2dKI
"Alright," I said 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCCl8CRGuM
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd2goZLXIu
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7rNtfdzy4
I was only making things worse.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Ifd5okfI
Before I turned to leave1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLkwrcIsFI
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaFnsxLqhE
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTWejCHqsl
one.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujmEkMQUjD
***1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KfuMPixVv
I sat on the couch all 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkFNoUEyxM
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnntQfENhIv
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P0hGFawJj
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujUXggD1eG
I had a box of paper 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqV9GX80nP
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5zchZ7FyH
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j0DZ9bR2g
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUgrvoVcMd
I continued watching the1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTV6wWwyJb
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWvWdoAmtp
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYTE38dSaD
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu85PniVpU
"Never better," I said, 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh6jG4KPE0
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkziYuSP1Vf
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVXmzM2Cxb
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaMwVXkGbL
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSaf8Q6XvR
"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.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xmH79S1fL
"And the others?" 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LiJ2wnbLK
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaiCgNyST2
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aXScMkIpX
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBiWOGDpJv
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeMBJaGpCZ
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TKm11kUDd
"You don't know or you are?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZw8ML9nRx
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.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeHdB2rCN2
"I don't know, Tae," I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgrKjKsLvp
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz3ndkz5av
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQiTKBwEVx
forget all that happened yesterday."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I06fqkOsX
"Ya, I understand. They 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32E03C0hEw
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqA5naIygl
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf95BctjFtD
going to get."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvYyhczerZ
I looked on at Taeyang 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwyqnnZ9yy
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l9bm0Rk6D
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJAXsYOJne
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTc73Q7nMn
who was as tough as nails.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1V7BB3GaD
Last night, I took the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVaIaPM4lr
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4WYOELuD7
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfWPCaUjCu
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDPQ30ZNLu
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Zm33mzp7
Apparently, the managers1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrvu37FjHg
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KvN0d2W9z
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgv3fpYeh2
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeoy9zbJtw
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyHkMJu3Ck
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkMf5QRmtU
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXtKem7V0Y
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyu67cMp6E
and the reporters.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt2RuN0oPe
After my confrontation 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOYqqHFX0u
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5io6c6QxT
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBhyCskaOp
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCp4gto4lq
"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."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweWTTGR6Gp
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSUDiagF7n
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvwd9T4yMD
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9xRMe94vw
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d57M5yeNs
"Have you tried talking to GD?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWrVnhwIn8
"To be honest, I haven't1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEhcgDxMaF
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai2Z28YZ2v
slap him in the face if I see him."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCaxiSZUn3
"I don't doubt that."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqu4908Rll
"And thank goodness my 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEyc1jisNu
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnTRZnGgzq
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvEQfawLXc
want to do is watch some TV."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdGHAnCvdS
I quickly drank my 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznnlwkVvsm
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7VoJ3mfuJ
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTm6joL4fq
to.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmvThxaFeR
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQhIsPJ6qV
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFhPvx6s0d
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4NKDawqJE
"Nope."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF23C9jfOh
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HmuvYumob
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QhOTl4csM
Taeyang didn't say 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugJUNqDsg4
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PcEzL1XYL
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WYYniVkn1
"I know you fought or 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fMzSzVP0j
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12QsG1dH1r
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJdRZ505TY
I noticed Taeyang smile 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPerDPjaElD
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFARo53e9WQ
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcD0L6WIu3
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ23OZcZ8l
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OBsJaHDUF
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BZT6ks8bM
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZP5BVxKG6
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7soHU0lIK
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIWUf5HqmQ
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMnuHMcGLN
Before I could finish my1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oTEJMkYvs
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5e0LCxHKg
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYO8VGymld
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ748KXlDEdk
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQvFDmnlkq
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfsIRv3lXz
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbJix8hyRI
"Yep, cheers to that." 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOVCKXlZC1
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eeTTQKdt2
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMT14NSDEF
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooCGwOmXPh
"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."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wVw7hFSyr
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNDV8YmhBg
"Wow, that sounds personal."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc5IpqA8Zx
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO51QWtL1S
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgTLryaylU
"I think I've a better 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIO0LYE17D
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf6SqZM4oS
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7uSSaydyy
lyrics. It's better that way."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJzN9x6Lwr
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWZR1RF8oy
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsaKbBTDby
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN2kdUByhh
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0h0NruDJd
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY8eWBYR9B
"Haha, good point."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf06We68G0d
Taeyang and I continued 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavxUlJF7O7
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0P38f7J2h
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zNLJMbXy0
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqv4ahYp1A
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSbUDDqwit
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUxWmZe4X0
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCVdRcVa4I
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLLuEOhjdI
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr59VTcNCi
While the two of us were1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmspPEpz8bK
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyuGGWqsSW
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBoHATUGaj
I quickly went over to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhtcjdWsSP
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtosCX9J9fM
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXltzekYlI
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzMhG6ubX9
come up and I put the receiver down.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptwAYizuLG
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymKYDpsEAG
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotUNwN0i91
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl50iwxPSs
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzFzJHcQOX
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmD4NYxtbN
"Eww, that pillow 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpsF6exxrK
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5JcbiRE1e
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae1mQxjUiO
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf0KFpfc3p
A few seconds later, we 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzAJkpR2hJ
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT38KxJvlS
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj4WGZ1p20
holding a box of chocolates.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlbWlUgDwq
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GipzxIYIW
"Ah, no, the panda is a 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3JC6waYcM
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPUldBWTPv
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn87G3QSz5e
same time.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3GGExGTJs
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bkM0yodSr
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWygw2SSjM
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVatle6Rgm
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fYEGVJvnn
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS7YydPuMX
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuJvbuC39d
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoyATCFzyf
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciJWgdQl5A
"For goodness sake, I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEImNIEvkLV
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30b1s2ljtu
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlb7nI4Af9
scared with me."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkMp3uxp3G
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR3lHFOwgz
I took the panda in my 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNdBxdaxOg
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpYCZC6DCi
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYXWd97eKg
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJhhEIHf4M
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwoj6xAd2h
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3OvUvidY0
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnGuIzcPB6
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWHt2JHcv9
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYrDXI9ZzU
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5auKDRVyXw
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qZozsMdn1
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVG1X88GtU
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QjWlN3pj8
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2hqzx30Pd
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dfHE5fYFn
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBi9jTf2nN
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1VMCdCUFn
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhe0HmoMrz
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmefe45rjtG
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeZk3iQWZz
"Ya, I do."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7VX4dfqrz
While the four of us 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQduwX0eijE
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG2XMYWHCm
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tv6xEpCz8
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3yUStGCoi
said:1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA5Mql3x9f
"Hey, Zoey." 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeNk5TaJxq
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1oHdgkbtd
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg4iZFxRPy
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBE1glNJI4
"It's good you came to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdvSUZGGwk
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsr0eRGhJJ
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28ZGhRcElk
couch.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo39p15tgW
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKIxRfeZa3
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVCEmxS5qs
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQfYnyL69V
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0A1M2B7zH
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3HhzDx1Jt
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0iYM0quhA
I tugged at my panda's 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuybd0b0L97
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoEgJY9ozq
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttwZFvR9Wq
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMLmTpWSUZ
The Toxins came back to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkDxk3jFHt
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMu1uu1EfS
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus1yhHzIcc
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tsdRXW8sO
For a moment, no one 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c041I9jzs
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYoHKh2ZFI
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXx0Xrp5wo
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabTYnhKzAk
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqz5JrloJG
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x2kxA0zBi
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jciVKqtDR
I stared up at the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZCaRy6bi6
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckjD3fnSzq
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrWnoBp8g7
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9NuKNTkAe
When Zoey tried to reach1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWo8Nvc9Jb
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdVvrSf1pB
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeAMtSILK7
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrza6MiGPV
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpDfRTNr29
Zoey looked hurt with 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsnnozqjMC
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzrqhFRcWW
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXbUzYKuqG
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6HflIRMXZ
I didn't answer as I put1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEMeF46bai
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eZRURqmcY
was still mad, especially at Zoey.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiwMwJYqwf
"I know it's a little 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzjkX9d1z9
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsGFBsd45L
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU2p34kiBw
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOwoin2dfF
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBENeKfYOy
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl46nUsECA0
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9rwt4t69P
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCpGMKU0mU
"I don't like it when 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxu6ePwkeo
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxlntEjGuW
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjhN6ITyYA
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zoepnBQ9h
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt3Rl9ns8t
sorry, Sam."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWBnrcwrz4
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJOMN9wCW9
"I'm sorry too," said 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7kywPWwF5
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uRalwUVqj
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe67DEBAVby
for you to talk to us again."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVRPeA07ot
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC2jfBZJbM
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrwqDLR0o8
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAnJ5cGcNT
leader."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH9vnK7aDg
I still didn't say a 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i0rQTRcjl
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGnTBNPDkB
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvqNDt8TXR
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ty18SGnA
them despite the awful things they put me through.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMQjhNTeNb
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsXEYJd0yF
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsZE5DTiuI
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAqjeYHwjL
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV2eaj6qfj
"I'm mad and pretty much1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh8fCaa5vu
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP1QRFuvIQ
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOoloOupE7
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgP0X5eRLK
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuuZKwE6Pt
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz91KSH4pqD
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUJ2jH7JBv
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw0NLjYfQi
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hjhHhpUhK
"Ah, you! Always acting 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr3gnIbccz
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdl3n0hnZc
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwuvrVQuCv
catch it anyway."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHhJbLRQPF
Christine, Daniel and 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhilu2WdFbt
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrb4DeZzwU
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNtzINO5Wv
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuXYX2xcv7
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gHwRaLzrb
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp82zkkyD7H
"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...."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpLjYXdeod
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhQoUODqQk
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBGP6I8ugf
"Don't worry, you won't 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB55JJTyUPD
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmY7VoEpsJ
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChlYGDFTJJ
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsLQpgJuLB
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtm4ixGcd3
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVKj0aOx96
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbv7LFoA3d
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsFjmpCe8V
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3CvRQ7Uxf
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSrPq9Ibuj
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41WRTmVeH5
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh97bwHUnRv
At that moment, I had 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP0V07b90B
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN7sRbLh6B
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNQAoWxK5e
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cqJlaMrpr
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFAuC5vFpc
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Q2sPKtCd
Zoey got the box of 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf4DFdnPid
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlaN47WVUg
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2WxkYfV4C
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlZlwnxYAH
I was in the passage as I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiDxtjH4xx
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfO3BgJG2k
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUdadNiiM8
in what felt like sadness.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ob3NqgADg
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq62T8YqGmZ
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScR9LhNQ0L
I heard his footsteps 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYFC0dL1NE
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIZZFsFSuw
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuThb0mD7B
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YCtbRXpka
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGSoMrfwpX
"Are we really do this right now?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF2VuwFeCY
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6zAdXKnBT
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmdqEagJPy
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MD5Vhs5pr
"Nope." 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVNRtoWI0C
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpdR3ih1B5
My eyes almost felt like1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORN9geBBuH
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTyfrx68z9
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNlAvgjTvZ
I turned to look at him 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD4nGAcGtp
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42AlaJyqZV
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGpQdzrJuq
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2439s0M63l
"That you're surrounded 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAXJzthPCB
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNi8qioTdE
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7F34gjKHU
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYWtvUyW8q
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnADDN3Hqhn
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxbvOnqjkz
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2WfMgm2Os
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkmTnYf0eA
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtfGAtBHWB
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T1uR5bCI7
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMExFoHEdJ
Apparently, I couldn't 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvOehm7xfe
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMFXvlX3HX
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY4xTOtUBu
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqWWu0FIWl
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp8ye1uYTA
death.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjenB5JNDhf
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rhmndj0c4
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6UgatC3mt
Taeyang folded his arms 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkv0psDEu1
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoIbJ3k77v
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ419q1Qx93W
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qLstFsQrS
"You're may think you're1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96izeAVIZS
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv65JOqz8uU
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiILdLb6l17
but feeling hurt."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafSmDQbsnB
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YrI1pshme
"But I wouldn't feel 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlQZW0Ow78
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x9V10sHhV
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdXtCsqI3t
at Taeyang.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinzc5LtHH5
Taeyang gave me that 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8UApvuzs4
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvATjP0tC3
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsJEGtLTGd
while in return, he nodded.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sz6M0cjNH
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTOl4pc8pF
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjSvZeZHId
I didn't say a word as I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpQ0iePCxb
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvhIBcV3V2
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENETyCswSH
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmgFY5itpw
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG6P1STIli
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEvVTbYuGg
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoD5NpnCCK
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciEjeIFOq1
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6QDqnlnLn
If there was ever a way I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XDAvV0Imx
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCBQjhwckC
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgytencCbU3
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaOhCIQrTS
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThQokKDVMp
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX444gdr2g9
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.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsje8pME8La
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKNbc5oT1Q
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst1orDnZ32
"Well, I'm just asking,"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhRNLDhgWS
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqq681ZNTq
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTIUQPyYWS
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTb3mx4ns1
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxTFrAJsFc
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q6ykNb1v8
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ7yKByhku
I pressed the button 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7K74Y0DAz
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMlzuMJznK
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgGPZb5taY
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jnSc1D46r
We went to the main 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlqbBWWtR3
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DI3Shraab
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIfh7XS4VP
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBZZTbGn71
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeBmRkXjTq
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsgr9pkKa2
"To be honest, we just 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5gNGJocYi
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNOAWY4ay8
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNngkbwppnw
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGfIjFQrZP
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Srv7uQyl
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.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycfzq089Y6
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdAFBPqGty
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEREKnUj9y1
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8LjVAdWZF
"Nah, I don't think so,"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHamZkFKJeQ
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMAfptqo8z
he would be treating me like that."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOYXaIdl2d
"Mmm, I don't think so,"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0q8Eqct5V
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfyXDZmNHu
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6BR0xigJP
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFhPZMRv6X
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp72rT0sVMR
"Then, stop trying to make one."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCVYQwDYki
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpbUuULNfe
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G4w8NjQRX
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ8H3cfFjW
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCzMScCfJQ
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBomXVJMLtD
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1MR652ssf
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfLIVq9vy1
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E0wCVWRy7
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyisNkIs09
I didn't even dare try 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsKhK5uxY3
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeSNUI7Zmi
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOk9ZNODig
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh82igGUAu2
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23xejoL64K
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeXFX267D1
I heard footsteps coming1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJKpgnEZff
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOW8CzpOwV
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKu9SdNcsc
look at me.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUQQPb89Bi
"Are you okay?" he whispered.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZijwdiBCg
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVcKWuJYkP
I soon felt strong hands1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArRKi4TFkE
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoQjD7gPs0
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKwpncZwKS
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrKtkCVG13
"I'm a whole lot better,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6bH3LfT5S
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL56uPIuqV
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuFC4rj2gK
"Glad to hear that."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfVCBKqTig
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.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vSMSMVD7c
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMyy8QCluN
I was planning not to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApPfJhXC3S
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06WgFBLmOv
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyj3J7HV9u
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCJZ9Fgqhv
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UR4aEcMH2
under the bridge.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wuNv7msOP
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKyF4lxRLd
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCQsnbhilj
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd0wLFAogR
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfApdgNsYo5
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2SHb2AuKy
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuESYnJ2zj
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1md7gYbHg
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL43cUkqu7C
The waiters soon came 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJTTDZ1Qrt
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfiFjgqHaH
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf9e5pCnF2
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTTmjWyVRU
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3WuHW5XPQ
For a moment, I felt 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehwn4OZgns
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ5Behlhqv
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5T71ZUfPO
me to forget that I was ever mad.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtvX0oDRmQ
"Mmm, this is so 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3508xIYAtn
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRaRORgZQN
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5ilgZeyiL
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgbuqQxywI
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpjua51qRQ
"Anything for you, Sam,"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHEK5GLra3
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1c78daMc4
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMHo4dpdJL
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ljAOHQrgh
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikWt4WRHrc
I had just taken in some1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJYwUo8ZhT
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcOZOD7GbO
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rfxI3cToj
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHvu6zQlFB
just said.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLgtIvwVNd
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eugYvXbFz
"Well, ya," Christine 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sR7zNdreX
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvRdNKBuSA
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwKO0ThfVc
special lunch to lighten your mood."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi2jMicBog
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbyj97ZVIn
"Thanks for the lunch, 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ybaj4ZsE
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkYuHt1owx
sweet of you to have come up with this."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKT8Ntdag
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemUnlJhdvy
I almost felt like 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNlfuAhLw7
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQvi7eLWh1
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oJr79vBvF
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjlHeXorLn
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TzVLdCchX
turning into rage?1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiXTN8EQ0v
Oh, goodness. I needed 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWC72nrZFP
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDFjxENsg6
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq4PPrN6Oq
I tried to push aside 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNR8ESYSUa
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UgdVxajWO
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuoZy33BuL
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnoSBOopDc
chocolate moussé.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHaQjBmUme
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraDRdHMoIQ
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9eM9pg2gx
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OW3cGTqQZ
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6OaOuBWao
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps1y06hEFT
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz9WbAs4cc
I didn't wait for 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDUW6Q7y0S
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0BIHG394h
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYocH1GxPK
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3KdcSmzjN
heaven.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh3XVYNN8d
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqTD8jiC9w
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NhY4QChIl
"I don't care," I said 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4ShUlLrsp
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBNwZ2Yaym
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXRo5VSOuW
G-Dragon smiled back at 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXU6iaMWww
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcuubUwmKQ
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc5GVK5SgU
away.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1asGUEKcw5
After dessert, we all 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD4eZgobZi
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbCyQKHPca
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPydRMFde9
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbX4hihpfr
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8ZP76VT49
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOc1JNI3bZ
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DTbbJmphG
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkhZfxrt0c
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIse6Nn6z3
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GevpKMwaU
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTfmJUujum
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTx0l5m5ri
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxFW6VQg2R
"What stuff?" TOP asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjuqlStXCA
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymZhwBhrlN
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzM0ngGy3d
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iXYPom66l
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka3G9TzHAP
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnF4NZanNG
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrU2JUVMKT
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz9JNcz4xw
"Wait, what's going on?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtGM1apo7w
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze7GQL8uJw
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVplqbbgLlR
"I thought we should all1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTccB9QpGP
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfpl5hVypT
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcfYFfodT4
"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.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3qTy3AUTu
"I don't know, I feel we1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NnMBY1T4B
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCqJMbyBuS
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sBsKhP3Ro
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3c2AaZHtL
"I don't get it though,"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCz76vG49o
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTlXV4VWqZ
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoizZnzbD2Z
the lyrics?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0cDWO7Sep
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxjROtrJwv
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHrBtzKja8
This time, I also raised1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwrk13J71D
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsfKntcrYE
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUQzIN0P7X
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpOWSC9fQG
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KYGb2VyqP
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHDhLokDBB
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSKG60QzfP
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmkWWVP2Y7
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLdHiQrk3s
By the way G-Dragon 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8gFmzmBGq
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR4cyintiR
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO3hRYplPN
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc0UQVWDqv
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWVIpILpkj
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjNpWxzvgS
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeAtLSNftj
"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."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmupImlje9g
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggXEFVqoxU
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QuMGrwJ2E
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaDwH9uKVq
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb62kCgcPM
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P4ZdHlv56
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBNy48aGZv
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSQsllW6UD
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQRLPj2fl1
"What truth?" I asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vsDa0kAtM
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPzA4XHtxh
Taeyang was right. I was1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AhC0fLfIv
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQyK0RLYr6
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAizSWA5SUV
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKDraq0cEf
attention.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMH66nfsA0
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1GzJ6iBP7
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSpnWdQsWT
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8PV9r7cHI
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWT2VmJasd
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bPrlCEMMu
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJnpLAqoqg
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmewU1HwUV6
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU2UaU0nXD
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p98NdTdYQ
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi3WnBVIou
"But I....." 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPrtwj7ZCs
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSIYRdvJfO
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKw2nY69zx
talked way too much, don't you think?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTxxqk27WF
That felt like a slap in1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D7HlZklkD
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTQV7Erxlt
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdbLtjLfWw
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0wEdvncmL
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xPNcwsjuw
about what I thought was best for the whole group?1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnBFNAj5gU
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVimpFKmeTq
"That's fine with me," said Mike.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6N7JKynYK
Everyone else agreed, 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst9qTLDrXf
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvR7sp96w4
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vK5M173Ls
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvymL5wWstP
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdVIdLjbsJ
B, just in case.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleOy2d6iIX
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLQh16Kjsd
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYtHAAha7m
"Not now, Sam. We will 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQMc7bZm94
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4HrNjO1gV
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkrpgDHFik
gave me goosebumps.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FRYw3Q7yy
"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."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRs8CtdmsG
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbRxOSQXXY
One by one everyone 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlErMBgbPX
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinHU5WY2Cw
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1r0pMOoKT
appropriate.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2uBBXeZXC
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rbFwIGH01
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWuNOPPEFI
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rfuIcTYys
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnvpYMBB5k
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqDISgPAur
"It's not that. I pissed1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbs8kJ8bmH
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXza7dWWkCJ
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJGbadKj0G
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMVkhNzvUk
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8hgZQItV2
Taeyang placed his hand 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYUoK2an9l
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VCGH6wUp1
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn1IPznqrl
I knew I had to hope for1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpXT2pVsNX
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRotJgI4e1
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFUUVp5kNc
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyxRbcZXMQ
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8B9WtA0QF
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
