I was looking out 752Please respect copyright.PENANANEoTm7yVXN
through the car window on an early Thursday morning as we were being 752Please respect copyright.PENANAlTkVa6Gtw3
driven to YG. I felt so much had happened since we got here, it felt 752Please respect copyright.PENANAUCFAdVWobP
like we had stayed in South Korea for so long when its only been five 752Please respect copyright.PENANADYSI9BnBTu
days. I already felt homesick and the feeling of going to YG this 752Please respect copyright.PENANA62LQQ33px9
morning, made me nervous.752Please respect copyright.PENANAIFGPMGkda0
I didn't know what to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAot7rVhczhr
expect when I get there. Yesterday was a total disaster and I prayed 752Please respect copyright.PENANAIUSUaElaT2
that today it wouldn't be the same. But deep down, I knew I had to 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5G6ak8J7VL
prepare myself for what's to come. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAIFtI0kqT9z
Although the other 752Please respect copyright.PENANALZE174dHdY
Toxins and I were still on speaking terms like nothing had happened 752Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ec2F0oxsz
during lunch yesterday, I could somehow feel the tension amongst 752Please respect copyright.PENANA2r0xoBtlLJ
ourselves. It's like we were now divided ever since I had suggested on 752Please respect copyright.PENANAfaYLYFzKw8
on all of us working on the lyrics for the song. Mike, Daniel and I on 752Please respect copyright.PENANAkXcy5IfETm
one side, Zoey and Christine on the other. How I wish it never came to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAOYO5foFY3H
this and I regretted every moment of it. But as the saying goes, what's 752Please respect copyright.PENANAMgevgXsJ8v
done is done.752Please respect copyright.PENANAGI3M1XFSVc
We were all seated in 752Please respect copyright.PENANAuw0pFrDg72
the car, the others talking amongst themselves with Lee and Collins 752Please respect copyright.PENANAWVwIWA2oWS
while I was quiet and feeling out of place. We hadn't told Lee and 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5mXhIRZcn1
Collins about our little conflict yesterday. We decided not to tell them752Please respect copyright.PENANAxmHV3OD329
until we came to a final decision. That's if it will even be necessary.752Please respect copyright.PENANAXqdTvalYOJ
"Looks like someone is 752Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ0XoW01xA
deep in their thoughts this morning," said Collins who sat in the front 752Please respect copyright.PENANANSG14YNyEW
seat of the car and was looking at me through the rearview mirror.752Please respect copyright.PENANA2JQl7ISioR
"I just miss home, that's all," I said.752Please respect copyright.PENANAyFmw2WJiSW
"You can give your mum a call later on in the evening," said Collins. "I bet by then it would be daytime in the U.S."752Please respect copyright.PENANA8UbQ6tFuwz
"Ya, sure." I tried to put up a smile, but it felt pointless.752Please respect copyright.PENANAkemdWjKhXg
We finally arrived at 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5DX7BV5o4A
our destination and when we all got out of the car, I couldn't help but 752Please respect copyright.PENANAzT0O6EPjdx
feel nervous. The five of us followed Collins and Lee into the YG 752Please respect copyright.PENANApDTdBe1jWx
building. As usual, we first had to go for practice. We left Collins and752Please respect copyright.PENANAxODnHNYZ3k
Lee downstairs on the ground floor, while the rest of us took the 752Please respect copyright.PENANA9joOHcJYwJ
elevator heading for the changing rooms.752Please respect copyright.PENANAm7UvJrCZcc
After changing, we all met in one of the dance studios, ready for practice.752Please respect copyright.PENANAyAPQznbQRW
"So, what should we do first?" I asked. "Go through the same routine as always or come up with some new dance moves?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAQn7eVsqmrG
"I don't see why we 752Please respect copyright.PENANAby6zfgr7b6
should come up with new dance moves," said Zoey. "I mean, it's not like 752Please respect copyright.PENANAfiXSVXmdwf
we have come up with a new song yet or anything."752Please respect copyright.PENANAPVgxw7MhqZ
I felt my heart jolt upwards and I couldn't tell if it was guilt because of the song issue or I wasn't just feeling too well.752Please respect copyright.PENANADd0MEqIIYq
"But we always come up 752Please respect copyright.PENANAoIvFExraJ1
with new dance moves even without a new song," said Mike. "I've come up 752Please respect copyright.PENANAVGJHV7fqkR
with some pretty good moves and I think we should try them out."752Please respect copyright.PENANAhvfCN4WrAc
"Well, okay then," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders as though in doubt. "Let's give it a shot."752Please respect copyright.PENANAj2CdFZfXFr
"Zoey, if you want you can just sit back and watch," I said. "It seems to me you don't want to do this."752Please respect copyright.PENANAk2zY0geOfP
"No, I want to, believe me," said Zoey.752Please respect copyright.PENANA7U5yCALT5o
"Okay, if you say so," I turned to Mike. "So, what new ideas do you have?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAqDBR5Eyrl4
Mike soon begun teaching752Please respect copyright.PENANAHnlSr5Yr9g
us some of the dance moves he had come up with and without fail, we all752Please respect copyright.PENANA3QTtWOpaIZ
got to know them quickly even when we made a few mistakes here and 752Please respect copyright.PENANAOiBOkC6Nqb
there. We soon got a hang of it after going through it a number of 752Please respect copyright.PENANAyk0fe4TIw7
times, it turned out to be perfect and we liked it. Sometimes back home 752Please respect copyright.PENANAsuaRBVZj6S
when our choreographer, Jimmy wasn't available, Mike would step in and 752Please respect copyright.PENANAqKsKQ7PtYL
act as our choreographer instead. Most of the time, the two would both 752Please respect copyright.PENANAR1lAdwabyu
work together, and they made a pretty good team.752Please respect copyright.PENANA77WJZk1JRZ
After going through the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAKMH02WPhUd
dance moves flawlessly with what seemed like the fourth time, we decided752Please respect copyright.PENANAU6fBNTtlTp
to take a break. And when I went to collect my water bottle on a rack 752Please respect copyright.PENANAYc2Kw35HCp
where we laid our training bags, I noticed from the corner of my eye 752Please respect copyright.PENANA3wXnV6qmx7
that the door stood slightly open. That's weird. The last time I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0EgtelUH5
checked, the door was closed and I am pretty sure of it.752Please respect copyright.PENANAHi8ind7Lyd
When I turned to face 752Please respect copyright.PENANAoVkztAnbLN
the door, I noticed a shadow, and it moved. Someone was definitely 752Please respect copyright.PENANAr54cUqbqIM
behind the door. I started to walk towards it and when I got to the 752Please respect copyright.PENANA6X1lJgLHyZ
door, I was surprised with what I saw. 752Please respect copyright.PENANA4eF1LY5rzU
Standing behind the door752Please respect copyright.PENANAUcQyfBPKsg
were two young trainees, probably in their teens, a male and female. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAroJSAwnsSS
When I saw them face to face behind the door, they seemed frightened and752Please respect copyright.PENANAxShVrSQZFv
they bowed their heads.752Please respect copyright.PENANAzDVzzHa73s
At that moment I didn't have any words to say as I kept staring at them.752Please respect copyright.PENANAA9fMmXHY1T
"Hey, Sam, who is by the door?" Christine called out to me.752Please respect copyright.PENANAYXp8n2R7Sk
I couldn't even reply. I752Please respect copyright.PENANASLuftsa0II
didn't even know where to start explaining to Christine that there were752Please respect copyright.PENANAjeTy6mwIJ2
young trainees by the door, who were probably watching us practice.752Please respect copyright.PENANAuKtG1bfK6p
Before I could say anything, the girl said, "we're sorry. We didn't mean to spy on you while you were practising."752Please respect copyright.PENANAtVTTJQ3kvI
"Yes, we're sorry," said the boy. "We were just leaving."752Please respect copyright.PENANAiRSNx50t9T
With their heads still bowed low, they slowly started to back away.752Please respect copyright.PENANAio0JkPkwCc
"Wait, stop," I said.752Please respect copyright.PENANAfGgkkgR6pa
The two trainees immediately stopped as though they were robots. It felt a little weird, but I quickly brushed off the feeling.752Please respect copyright.PENANAQzFKYWi3uo
"Please, come in," I said, stepping aside and widening the door for them.752Please respect copyright.PENANAec0ffxoQ2b
For a moment, the 752Please respect copyright.PENANA6tn3xHEiep
trainees looked on at me with scared looks on their faces. I can tell 752Please respect copyright.PENANAz1Vq16q3u3
why. It was probably some of the rules set around the place and they 752Please respect copyright.PENANAunP8WV1Cep
must have found it quiet weird that I, the famous B.K, had told them to 752Please respect copyright.PENANA9OCPDCHCT0
come in.752Please respect copyright.PENANAp2QsBXmrrn
"아니요 (Aniyo)," said the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAODeYXSgoSS
boy. I recognised that he said 'no'. I don't know Korean, but there were752Please respect copyright.PENANADG06C0XM3M
some basic words I got to know so far from watching some K-Drama 752Please respect copyright.PENANAN8H6jBxzEU
series.752Please respect copyright.PENANAbJcuIbXrDT
"I mean, no," said the boy, this time in English. "That won't be necessary."752Please respect copyright.PENANAlRA6Uf5VCC
"No, I insist," I said. "Come on in, we don't bite."752Please respect copyright.PENANANdexeRsSFt
Zoey soon appeared behind me and asked, "what's going on? Are these fans of ours?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAMwIAKXL4Xl
"Well, maybe," I said. "Don't try to intimidate them. You know you scare people."752Please respect copyright.PENANAvHiwxBt23s
"No, I don't," Zoey 752Please respect copyright.PENANAejZYG4HLLR
turned to face the trainees and said, "you guys can come on in and 752Please respect copyright.PENANA0acIA2vJss
practice with us. You're YG trainees, right?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAnU0BXWnyy8
The two trainees 752Please respect copyright.PENANAjLkiBzZeQn
nervously nodded, still with their heads bowed low. I looked on at the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAwtsfT4d5wu
trainees, then at Zoey, then back at the trainees again.752Please respect copyright.PENANAzCIowJFQGM
"If you are worried 752Please respect copyright.PENANA9rGsvPij5k
about getting in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk, don't worry about it," I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAwxLZClUIUS
said. "You can come and practice with us. You don't have to be afraid."752Please respect copyright.PENANAGxmodN6I8v
The two trainees looked 752Please respect copyright.PENANAlgMZondDRA
at me and this time, they looked really excited. By the looks on their 752Please respect copyright.PENANAf1izaBSdtr
faces, I bet they were fans, and probably the idea of dancing with The 752Please respect copyright.PENANAH9gPRhlemv
Toxins seemed like a dream come true. I knew how that felt, because once752Please respect copyright.PENANAvMWH3ch0Ln
upon a time, I was once in their shoes.752Please respect copyright.PENANAyjES62bdDT
"Re-really?" the girl asked, looking at me with excitement in her eyes.752Please respect copyright.PENANA8W6AsdZ8zw
"Ya, sure. Why not?" I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAjsGT78e7lj
jerked my head to the side, telling them to come in. I knew I was 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5eeYEU8pM0
already in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk because of what happened at 752Please respect copyright.PENANAsNHEZHLngk
Caribbean Bay, so I didn't mind if I got into more trouble just because 752Please respect copyright.PENANAM8rXWNe2sj
of allowing innocent trainees to come and practice with us.752Please respect copyright.PENANAlzDuh6nhAq
The trainees gladly followed as Zoey and I led the way.752Please respect copyright.PENANAxiluW9ssEy
"Oh, I see you brought in some friends," said Daniel as he saw us approaching. "Welcome guys."752Please respect copyright.PENANAlr12uinYG2
"Thank you," said the two trainees at the same time, with huge big smiles on their faces.752Please respect copyright.PENANArUyIZTz7Dn
"You guys don't mind if they join us, do you?" I asked the others.752Please respect copyright.PENANABdCvp36VnI
"Not at all," said Mike.752Please respect copyright.PENANADbhEEr4YE1
"Ya, it's good to have people around, much less our fans," said Christine. "It's going to be so much fun."752Please respect copyright.PENANAZVJHtaCB97
"Wow, this is like a dream come true," said the girl. "I never knew I would be dancing with you guys."752Please respect copyright.PENANAnlsP6RkTN1
"You better believe it, girl," said Zoey, giving the girl a wink. "Dreams do come true."752Please respect copyright.PENANA4vuuv8TC7G
"So, should we teach them the new dance moves we have been working on?" Mike asked as he turned to me.752Please respect copyright.PENANA6gSp1wxVre
"Ya, sure," I said. "It's okay with me."752Please respect copyright.PENANA6lFP4x9zoB
Mike soon started to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAiT8RSJV4yj
teach the trainees the dance moves and surprisingly, they got to learn 752Please respect copyright.PENANA3HlzCwJwWe
it quicker than I anticipated. They were really talented, I had to give 752Please respect copyright.PENANAMlYmEjutSa
them credit for that.752Please respect copyright.PENANAplxUUVirsc
"Wow, for trainees, you're really good," said Mike, as he turned to face them.752Please respect copyright.PENANAbfPH1WrYUn
"We try," said the boy. "We have been watching you practise, so it wasn't that hard."752Please respect copyright.PENANAz0H06j87QX
"We didn't get to know your names," said Daniel.752Please respect copyright.PENANADdN8RL6Sii
"I'm Soo Mi," said the girl.752Please respect copyright.PENANA4dnU8LfLrS
"I'm Young Jin," said the boy.752Please respect copyright.PENANA6IBqhf20PS
"It's really nice to meet you guys," I said. "Why don't we go through the dance moves together and see how it all turns out?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAWeXLKzOx1J
Everyone agreed. We 752Please respect copyright.PENANAwKgF2kBwYO
positioned ourselves and started going through the moves again and it 752Please respect copyright.PENANAL3qcA7gyyG
was awesome. When we were done, everyone cheered and we all gave each 752Please respect copyright.PENANA6PcRBiG2qg
other high fives.752Please respect copyright.PENANAIkRshXPQlx
"This is so much fun," I said.752Please respect copyright.PENANAgQxHRuSiOH
"Ya, I know, we should be doing this more often with other trainees," said Mike.752Please respect copyright.PENANAjCxWQyipzh
"Ya, but we have to finish this dance routine, Mike," said Zoey. "So, work on it."752Please respect copyright.PENANArMdqiYkQ8m
While I turned to talk to the trainees, I noticed Lee come into the studio. And she seemed to be coming straight for me.752Please respect copyright.PENANAjLu7FtRj7F
"Sam, we need to go," said Lee as she came close.752Please respect copyright.PENANAhmp16MmtLm
"Go? Go where?" I asked looking confused.752Please respect copyright.PENANAjvflJJnxWe
"The reporters are here, you know, over the video of you and G-Dragon."752Please respect copyright.PENANA2LhL9w0KBR
Yikes! I was enjoying 752Please respect copyright.PENANArEZHRX7mAb
myself with practice and being friends with the trainees, I forgot all 752Please respect copyright.PENANAVD0TEKr9vU
about the video. I wish the reporters should just forget about the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAM8FolFNVEg
stupid video for once and let it be.752Please respect copyright.PENANAGf1b6NuKMU
But that wasn't my only 752Please respect copyright.PENANAgzOALv1Eyk
fear. I am going to be with GD for the interview and the thought of 752Please respect copyright.PENANABzuCrIdR6d
being next to him somehow made me nervous. I realised that I had 752Please respect copyright.PENANAd1eiDicWGr
goosebumps all over my arms just at the thought of it. I just hope he 752Please respect copyright.PENANArUQ6sKEFiK
isn't mad at me anymore. But I was going to trust my gut and say that he752Please respect copyright.PENANAHUnaJG6kzV
probably still is.752Please respect copyright.PENANA2SjmR4PrkI
"Wait, they are having their interview today?" Zoey asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANAUscNRdOcCc
"Yes, and right now," said Lee. "Go and freshen up, Sam. You must be ready within fifteen minutes."752Please respect copyright.PENANAj64Qsi0p9f
"Um, okay," I said. I could even hear my voice breaking. 752Please respect copyright.PENANA3JiLVELleG
"Is GD already here?" Christine asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANAXSpMhv1ihF
When Christine asked the752Please respect copyright.PENANAq9cFb1WyX2
question, I felt my heart stop beating. Eish! I was nervous for sure. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAscTUBY5aVF
The thought of GD being here almost made me want to run.752Please respect copyright.PENANAll8Q2KszVj
"No, but he will be here any moment," Lee replied. "Come on, Sam. You better take a shower."752Please respect copyright.PENANAwShAoU9Hs0
Somehow, it felt good 752Please respect copyright.PENANA8vqytjIE7w
that I was going to take a shower. Maybe I would cool off and try to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAM5Rj4CUZKJ
calm down with all of this. But I felt that wasn't going to be the case.752Please respect copyright.PENANAMVUw7PyAOe
"See you later, guys," I said as I followed Lee who led the way out of the studio.752Please respect copyright.PENANAua9oDv3VV2
Everyone waved and 752Please respect copyright.PENANA7eNysWEhaJ
wished me luck. Dealing with reporters wasn't easy and you just didn't 752Please respect copyright.PENANAP0Jko7bu7R
need luck to confront them. You needed guts and confidence.752Please respect copyright.PENANAIdaQT7Bctw
I needed luck to be on my side though, because dealing with G-Dragon wasn't going to be easy.752Please respect copyright.PENANAxu0vSnLxOA
***752Please respect copyright.PENANAU5xdQQ1FNq
The make-up artists were752Please respect copyright.PENANABqyZpkrkf4
done powdering my face and my hair was all combed and tied up in a pony752Please respect copyright.PENANAw5yu0yxJFS
tail. I wanted to look simple in front of the cameras and reporters 752Please respect copyright.PENANAwLoDrelxJd
just like I always have. Except whenever I have to shoot for music 752Please respect copyright.PENANAIV6qmI94n1
videos and taking photo shoots, I have to apply make-up just to fit in 752Please respect copyright.PENANA1qPFRFggMd
with the scene.752Please respect copyright.PENANAdkOUwANdCS
When the make-up artists752Please respect copyright.PENANA92ZjNVRdCI
were done and I was applying pink lip gloss on my lips, I heard quick 752Please respect copyright.PENANAfWhGey7FsA
chattering behind me and someone mentioned G-Dragon's name. I turned to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAQF2RWZiH7J
look behind me and I saw G-Dragon entering the dressing room.752Please respect copyright.PENANARceNxlB3jr
My heart skipped a beat 752Please respect copyright.PENANAv6y1nk7eOG
as I watched him. He didn't seem to notice me at first because of the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAJrhm3mvg8E
make-up artists and clothe designers that surrounded him trying to 752Please respect copyright.PENANA3DXAuOottk
figure out if he needed a bit of make-up and a change of clothes. But 752Please respect copyright.PENANA0M37QlPV8m
just the way he was dressed seemed okay to me and they seemed to have 752Please respect copyright.PENANAKL6z9ezIgJ
noticed that too because, they backed away from him and went on to do 752Please respect copyright.PENANAGRrqB9vUJr
their own things.752Please respect copyright.PENANAn8zBw7T9QX
He dyed his hair blonde 752Please respect copyright.PENANAup5sVowWRX
this time around and it matched with his white fancy jacket with gold 752Please respect copyright.PENANA7cXhqZkruN
studs on the collar and a black shirt beneath. They never call him a 752Please respect copyright.PENANAPNhE153ZZK
fashionista for nothing.752Please respect copyright.PENANAtJAHeVvNdh
When he looked in my direction, he saw me and he immediately looked the other way as though I was nothing.752Please respect copyright.PENANAYkSosWp4Zc
Ouch! That's gotta hurt!752Please respect copyright.PENANA9DqzLjisx5
I felt my face grow hot in embarrassment. He was still mad at me. I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAPxVoALfWWi
slowly turned to face the mirror again trying to act like nothing was 752Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9jeOcfjKQ
wrong, when I was actually hurt.752Please respect copyright.PENANA7ywgfLHY7z
Through the mirror, I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAe5z6xpy5bg
saw G-Dragon take a seat on the other side of the dressing room facing a752Please respect copyright.PENANAQranwuHL2l
mirror. He was looking down on his phone, probably texting or 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5mIt7nlcG1
something, and I continued to stare at him.752Please respect copyright.PENANAbMfYsO0rcl
G-Dragon looked up at 752Please respect copyright.PENANANvTwnLpN4O
the mirror in front of him and I bet he saw me looking at him through my752Please respect copyright.PENANAf81hUUbqgG
mirror because he had a funny look on his face and he went back to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAJNloIJQ0UD
looking at his phone. Bummer! I could tell by the way he looked at the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAFi0oeQwfAc
mirror that he obviously saw me looking at him. I sighed in deep regret 752Please respect copyright.PENANAm3VOQvl6ma
and looked the other way. I had never felt so alone.752Please respect copyright.PENANAeOV6PluvJF
Then all of the sudden, 752Please respect copyright.PENANA812DuOxeH3
someone behind me held my shoulders and I almost jumped in fright. I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAEeWyXrGkIm
looked behind me and there stood Daesung. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAUOH4jKDRD8
"Hey, little kitty. Your head's in the clouds today," he said, as he continued to look down at me and smiled. "What's up?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAefAYdhTTg3
At that moment, I was so752Please respect copyright.PENANAhHZLP5SJB4
glad that he was here. Right now I needed someone to talk to. I smiled 752Please respect copyright.PENANAlGXGjG78G8
back up at him. His smile and his presence seemed to have brighten my 752Please respect copyright.PENANAZIjL8k8UDi
mood a little.752Please respect copyright.PENANA3aMWQwbNrC
"Take a seat and I'll tell you," I said.752Please respect copyright.PENANAaXvrY7zYqK
"Okay, sounds serious," said Daesung as he grabbed a chair and sat next to me.752Please respect copyright.PENANATBhUmfBm3o
When I looked at 752Please respect copyright.PENANAbt7VCKomn8
Daesung, I felt myself blush. With our shoulders almost brushing each 752Please respect copyright.PENANAXKIGumlBvz
other, I could feel the electric pull between us and I hope he wasn't 752Please respect copyright.PENANAPc58i1JfUk
feeling it too. It brought back memories of what happened the day before752Please respect copyright.PENANANXQ1aLmeQM
yesterday. The two of us hadn't even tried to bring up that topic yet. 752Please respect copyright.PENANA57prTNEYHk
Maybe we never will.752Please respect copyright.PENANA2cwFpdYjXy
"So, tell me, what's wrong?" Daesung asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANA0snWUES0PJ
"Everything is wrong," I slowly replied.752Please respect copyright.PENANAqHfwsU0A6l
"Is it about yesterday?"752Please respect copyright.PENANA6v9kWA4S6m
"Ya, it is."752Please respect copyright.PENANAx4I1B7OABM
Daesung looked behind 752Please respect copyright.PENANA8kDD3CfF4u
him because he knew what I was taking about. I also turned and G-Dragon 752Please respect copyright.PENANAyCgwCtwFQa
was still on his phone ignoring everyone around him. He seemed lost in 752Please respect copyright.PENANA4IN5AYhUUO
his own world.752Please respect copyright.PENANA4YaPHq8Klf
"He's still mad, isn't he?" Daesung asked as he turned to face me.752Please respect copyright.PENANAGRbKHeHauR
"Pretty much," I replied. "He didn't say a word to me when he came in and ignored me as though I didn't exist."752Please respect copyright.PENANAyBd91DZM2r
"Let's just hope he doesn't stay that way for long."752Please respect copyright.PENANAWxUrHp9zAP
"I hope so too. But why do I get the feeling that this is only going to get worse?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAEByPHMo7bi
"Stop thinking like that, okay?" Daesung held my hand that was on my lap. That sent tingles up my arm and down my spine.752Please respect copyright.PENANAlD7pM1Q0zP
"I can't, Daesung," I said. "My gut feeling has never failed me before. Why should it now?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAedMqVQM2wO
"I don't have the answer to that. And it seems to me you really trust your gut a lot."752Please respect copyright.PENANAV93Zg5ATVc
"Dah, I always do," I said rolling my eyes playfully as I smiled.752Please respect copyright.PENANAr2RbWHPDJM
Daesung laughed and that752Please respect copyright.PENANAY78cv8L3WO
caused me to laugh also. I felt so relieved that I shared this with 752Please respect copyright.PENANASKjJb4B84S
Daesung. He is so nice, caring and understanding, just like Taeyang.752Please respect copyright.PENANAkBO5dnTpyZ
I soon felt someone's 752Please respect copyright.PENANAx1dcVQL3lm
eyes on me as I laughed. I looked behind me. For a moment, I had a 752Please respect copyright.PENANAwpLFXhjxMl
feeling that G-Dragon was staring at us through the mirror, but his eyes752Please respect copyright.PENANAbuaXJZX813
were still on the phone. Maybe I was just imagining things.752Please respect copyright.PENANAkyLLi2Pfrr
Lee suddenly came in the dressing room and said, "Sam, Ji Yong, it's time to go. The reporters are waiting."752Please respect copyright.PENANASJsFSXfviF
I quickly stood up and 752Please respect copyright.PENANAlN2hFuXLBV
checked if my clothes were alright. I was wearing a blue summer dress 752Please respect copyright.PENANASws9YEwOJY
with purple flowers on it and white flats.752Please respect copyright.PENANAJk5WfzYcmo
"You look beautiful, Sam," said Daesung. "Just stunning."752Please respect copyright.PENANAKELb8fryMd
I smiled and I blushed like crazy. Right now, I had to focus on the interview and Daesung was sweeping me off my feet.752Please respect copyright.PENANAr74cr17862
"Thanks, Daesung," I smiled, as I continued to blush.752Please respect copyright.PENANAbKdsdnckG1
I noticed G-Dragon stare752Please respect copyright.PENANABoKXPVtxmG
at us as he stood up from his chair. And when I turned to face him, he 752Please respect copyright.PENANAr2k8sFH5mt
quickly looked away and walked out of the dressing room, bypassing Lee 752Please respect copyright.PENANABzl1yckZmy
who was by the door. For a moment, the room was silent as everyone, 752Please respect copyright.PENANA9cCfEOUBfA
including the people who worked around the dressing room, noticed 752Please respect copyright.PENANAtWPKZEaeFT
G-Dragon's odd behaviour.752Please respect copyright.PENANAlEc6M1EutV
"Wow. What's wrong with him?" Lee asked as she pointed her thumb down the hall where G-Dragon had passed.752Please respect copyright.PENANAp2AxQNzGmP
"Long story," I answered. "We better go."752Please respect copyright.PENANAfRTXzlGkFE
Lee nodded her head and I turned to face Daesung.752Please respect copyright.PENANATZ9oVAxcYE
"You'll be fine, don't worry about it," said Daesung as he smiled at me.752Please respect copyright.PENANANMBwaglXRs
"Thanks," I tried to put up a smile, but it all felt useless.752Please respect copyright.PENANAlSnkQWGYfv
Lee and I walked out of 752Please respect copyright.PENANAaletSBcsRS
the dressing room together and it seemed like G-Dragon had already taken752Please respect copyright.PENANAWbvmCuGKxc
off into the elevator without us because he wasn't in the hallway. The 752Please respect copyright.PENANAiJgsLHMf7P
guilt came back to settle within me and I couldn't help but blame myself752Please respect copyright.PENANAo3lYhw0zAN
that it was all my fault he was acting this way.752Please respect copyright.PENANAn6BVLHEE01
When Lee and I got into 752Please respect copyright.PENANAX4YGW60zz8
the elevator, she asked, "why does G-Dragon seem so upset? I noticed the752Please respect copyright.PENANAUQOoZXjLJv
way he looked at you. Weren't you supposed to be mad at him for what 752Please respect copyright.PENANARaBYWzcR10
happened at Caribbean Bay?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAlYvqVHU9OD
"A lot has happened that752Please respect copyright.PENANAPIxygBhPz6
you don't know about, Lee," I said, staring at my feet as the elevator 752Please respect copyright.PENANAWg0MMNo9W5
continued to move. "So much that I can't explain."752Please respect copyright.PENANARBryBQwWFk
"Like what? I heard you guys had lunch yesterday and things didn't turn out well."752Please respect copyright.PENANAKnvst05KyK
"Where did you hear that from?" I asked as I quickly turned to look at her.752Please respect copyright.PENANAmYlClLsr9b
"Too much gossip among 752Please respect copyright.PENANABaB6MPj0e5
the working staff at the hotel," said Lee with a smile. "Don't worry 752Please respect copyright.PENANAI8mX7eNkAv
though. They said it didn't seem so serious."752Please respect copyright.PENANA66JJIUXIjl
"Wait? You understand Korean?" I grew even more surprised when that thought suddenly dawned on me.752Please respect copyright.PENANAP8J4wiJcEp
"Dah," said Lee, rolling752Please respect copyright.PENANANeORxkBIl4
her eyes and the elevator doors slid open. "Why do you think I was able752Please respect copyright.PENANAlVGecG9eI4
to hold Yang Hyun-suk and Collins for so long at YG? Oh, and don't tell752Please respect copyright.PENANAxJrO0cpHmR
Collins. He doesn't know either."752Please respect copyright.PENANAhYEMbvC8Ct
"You never told me what happened," I said as the two of us stepped out of the elevator.752Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6dKruQbQJ
"Well, I think the both 752Please respect copyright.PENANAMe5181vjo6
of us have a lot of catching up to do after this," said Lee as we both 752Please respect copyright.PENANAws2S93QOdN
walked down the hallway and turned round the corner. "Right now, it's 752Please respect copyright.PENANAXEu7R4YUWm
showtime."752Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kn6NFBFR7
It was showtime indeed. I752Please respect copyright.PENANALYCwqq5Xsd
found Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and G-Dragon talking amongst themselves in752Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ5hOKTeJW
the hallway. Behind them was the door that led to the conference room. I752Please respect copyright.PENANAGBy3kG32M4
could hear voices of the reporters behind the door and I felt my palms 752Please respect copyright.PENANAtEHjhTYva8
starting to sweat. I wasn't such a fan of interviews and I hated them.752Please respect copyright.PENANAcR74KHJblp
"Ah, here she comes," said Yang Hyun-suk as he noticed Lee and I approach. "You're looking very lovely today."752Please respect copyright.PENANA9y9KVoQcfx
I bowed my head at him and said slowly, "gomawoyo (고마워요) (thank you), Hyun-suk Sajangnim (사장님) (Boss)."752Please respect copyright.PENANAVeuoBcx3CT
"I'm impressed," said Yang Hyun-suk, with a smile on his face. "You're really learning."752Please respect copyright.PENANANOJzu45rjQ
"Well, I try to do the best I could," I said.752Please respect copyright.PENANA5sX5xCzyDl
"Sam really knows how to adapt to the environment she's in," said Collins. "No wonder she's so smart."752Please respect copyright.PENANAqvEcoRh4Jn
"No doubt about that," said Yang Hyun-suk. "And she's looking really lovely today, isn't that right, GD?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAoONNUtlcyp
My heart almost skipped a752Please respect copyright.PENANAEIwTBnQXM0
beat as I turned to look at G-Dragon who was also looking at me. For a 752Please respect copyright.PENANAlhxpE2x676
moment, he didn't reply and I was scared at what he was going to say.752Please respect copyright.PENANAkvPJoIs9OQ
Surprisingly, he managed752Please respect copyright.PENANAzHkyUApUTd
to put up a smile on his face. For a moment there, his smile seemed 752Please respect copyright.PENANAVACM5hJFUp
genuine, but I could feel the negative energy behind it.752Please respect copyright.PENANAzbCUMbadv2
"Yes, she does look lovely today," G-Dragon replied.752Please respect copyright.PENANAYMWFxnkz8i
I didn't know whether I 752Please respect copyright.PENANA7iqgaXmKRX
should run or remain where I was. I couldn't stand this any longer. I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAYd7KbFaFKq
felt he was some psychopathic killer ready to jump on me when no one was752Please respect copyright.PENANAVJrNRo6HHN
looking. And honestly, I felt pretty terrified.752Please respect copyright.PENANAlGcNmOV2zb
The door soon flew open 752Please respect copyright.PENANAgOTJrZNN1Z
and someone came to inform us that everything was all set and ready to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAvYXVe6sydv
go. I breathed out heavily as I tried to calm myself and we walked 752Please respect copyright.PENANAVfg5Wx9GWu
towards the door. My palms were still sweaty.752Please respect copyright.PENANAKNEymPn5hb
"Hey, don't worry about a thing," said Lee as she reached me to the door. "You'll be alright."752Please respect copyright.PENANABd7i5Mwj1X
All I could do was nod my head at Lee and I stepped in to the conference room first with G-Dragon behind me.752Please respect copyright.PENANAREfjxEwLtK
The flashing lights of 752Please respect copyright.PENANAh0VmiLrWKA
the cameras flashed around me. They blinded my eyes for a moment, but I 752Please respect copyright.PENANA2N0iIAZxLJ
pretended not to flinch as I continued to walk up to the small podium 752Please respect copyright.PENANAXXpYhAPG8L
and there stood a table with four chairs.752Please respect copyright.PENANA6Xyz6DXpmx
I got up to the podium 752Please respect copyright.PENANAcSqanq4mns
and I was guided where to sit. There were four chairs behind the table 752Please respect copyright.PENANA51KhT9V5Ce
and I sat in the middle and G-Dragon sat next to me. Collins sat to my 752Please respect copyright.PENANAx8Dk95n95o
left while Yang Hyun-suk sat to G-Dragon's right.752Please respect copyright.PENANAhzvN4EzAZJ
The bright lights of the752Please respect copyright.PENANA7AjBBv3GaT
flashing cameras continued to flash in front of my eyes and it took 752Please respect copyright.PENANAjHLmVg65Su
time to regain my vision. I soon noticed that there were a lot more 752Please respect copyright.PENANA2YPUoGO7JV
reporters and camera men in the conference room than I had anticipated. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAYAZRF8G6UN
My hands were as sweaty as hell and I felt them shivering. I bet this 752Please respect copyright.PENANAo8cTmzOchm
interview was going live on national TV because I noticed video cameras 752Please respect copyright.PENANAAosUIfMfhh
around the room.752Please respect copyright.PENANA58aQ0AsLf7
"Good morning, 752Please respect copyright.PENANAhVxNJ8CF4K
everyone," said Yang Hyun-suk through the set of microphones that were 752Please respect copyright.PENANAZOi24C86OW
in front of him on the table. "We may now proceed with the interview. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAkGwte3NW0n
You may begin to ask your questions."752Please respect copyright.PENANAw5AuWpzmGd
The thing I always hated752Please respect copyright.PENANAOaJPWjkBMn
about interviews, was that reporters could ask the dumbest questions, 752Please respect copyright.PENANA9Wweml8wUb
the personal ones, the most hurtful ones, the most confusing ones and 752Please respect copyright.PENANAnfNln7qvUl
the inappropriate ones. I hoped and prayed that the first question 752Please respect copyright.PENANANOgbxRLnN6
wasn't going to be any of the five I had in mind. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAbBgmaQtIju
A lady among the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAzcI17ETZ1k
reporters raised her hand and Yang Hyun-suk told her to proceed. I had 752Please respect copyright.PENANAa4GBLwSU0j
my fingers crossed. I always hated such moments.752Please respect copyright.PENANAl18jcAFuet
"I'm Mi Sun from MBC 752Please respect copyright.PENANAu5iknphSx2
TV," said the reporter. "On Tuesday this week, a video of YG's own 752Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qo1clJ2eR
phenomenal artist, G-Dragon, and Samantha Glasson, also known as B.K, 752Please respect copyright.PENANAHU4qm0Gpv6
was released on YouTube and almost became a worldwide trend. My 752Please respect copyright.PENANADnbRtCPQry
question, probably on everyone's mind is, are the two of them dating?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAvXvFbFZSZq
Yang Hyun-suk answered, 752Please respect copyright.PENANAA6BW7oxJsP
"we can assure you that the two of them aren't dating. That video wasn't752Please respect copyright.PENANAeSZkFPJRDW
supposed to be aired on YouTube."752Please respect copyright.PENANA9GlGia86UM
"If it wasn't supposed to be aired, then who did this and why?" the reporter asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANAmURUdNZ6rA
Ah, oh. Was this the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAZvhS4Qp5nC
part where either G-Dragon and I were supposed to answer the question? 752Please respect copyright.PENANAdyB0GJJfTP
If so, I wasn't ready to tell them that my very own best friend had done752Please respect copyright.PENANAXxgsHsBrHd
all this. I feared of what the outcome may be.752Please respect copyright.PENANAJjWBBkIErq
"The person who took the video was none other than our very own, Zoey," Collins answered.752Please respect copyright.PENANAmL1fRWGd1p
From the corner of my 752Please respect copyright.PENANAbCtFHazk3T
eye, I looked at Collins. I knew Collins wouldn't want to make Zoey look752Please respect copyright.PENANATisdfVXsHP
bad for any reason at all, but it looks like he and Yang Hyun-suk were 752Please respect copyright.PENANAUsDukL1DNo
sticking to the truth. I might as well just do the same.752Please respect copyright.PENANA1AhYNgeZeW
Another reporter, a man this time around, raised a hand and Yang Hyun-suk allowed him to speak.752Please respect copyright.PENANAv0Whz2zJDi
"Thank you, my name is 752Please respect copyright.PENANAVGMSuPbfxw
Jin Soo from KBS," said the male reporter. "I think a lot of people 752Please respect copyright.PENANAB1j6sfjFvA
would want to know after hearing all of this, why would Zoey post that 752Please respect copyright.PENANAmAFTGGqP6i
video? From the look of things, what was going on between GD and BK 752Please respect copyright.PENANADbQ7QvHp7g
seemed like a private affair, or was the video all for show?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAgax1rQgcs3
This was what I feared. I752Please respect copyright.PENANALookKYhILb
bet a lot of our fans were thinking G-Dragon and I were actually dating752Please respect copyright.PENANAOQFrDW42SL
and had high hopes. Now that people know the truth, it would crush the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAq8fzUx3kC9
fans and Zoey would end up being the villain. But telling the truth was 752Please respect copyright.PENANAiEmvUX7V97
really the best option. It wouldn't seem right, now that GD and I were 752Please respect copyright.PENANA1m6mMUZv0H
clearly not on good terms at the moment, to tell the whole world a lie.752Please respect copyright.PENANAWwKBWoJnNR
"I think I'll answer that question," said G-Dragon.752Please respect copyright.PENANAV8XphwMmh8
For a moment, my heart 752Please respect copyright.PENANAnhoe897wx5
almost skipped a beat as G-Dragon spoke through the mic. I turned to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAGH9KDVAXRZ
look at him. I just hoped he wasn't going to say anything that would 752Please respect copyright.PENANArMacUXknkB
raise more questions from the reporters.752Please respect copyright.PENANA8OAPgkWh1X
"The video you saw on YouTube wasn't for show," said G-Dragon. "All that was actually real."752Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ6L0BsaRA
"And you allowed Zoey to take the video?" the male reporter asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANA47CZ1i02SK
"No, apparently, we never realised that Zoey was taking the video until it was already too late."752Please respect copyright.PENANAdBGtUnA5vG
"But why did she do all that? Can you explain what her intentions were at the time?"752Please respect copyright.PENANATMzSx9Fc5F
I knew G-Dragon wasn't 752Please respect copyright.PENANAYQX4aCoikZ
going to answer that question because no one knew Zoey better than I 752Please respect copyright.PENANASBcPStOt0M
did. So without realising it, I stepped in.752Please respect copyright.PENANA8KU8yWko4O
"I know what Zoey did by752Please respect copyright.PENANAqGUusk6tgR
releasing the video has raised a lot of questions in everyone's mind," I752Please respect copyright.PENANA2UUJ22hkxG
said, confidently. "Many of our fans had high hopes that GD and I were 752Please respect copyright.PENANAF0xlJACJlq
dating, but that's not the case. What happened was nothing but a 752Please respect copyright.PENANAB7C03WdUn8
misunderstanding."752Please respect copyright.PENANAXblSbmvB7g
Immediately I said those752Please respect copyright.PENANA9zu2DgsWcr
words, everyone's eyes were on me now, including those around the world752Please respect copyright.PENANArU5d5cx0g1
probably watching on their television screens or devices. Yang 752Please respect copyright.PENANAPpIyn6Zk4c
Hyun-suk, Collins and G-Dragon also stared at me. The camera lights kept752Please respect copyright.PENANAcl1zyQ9C9g
on flashing in my face like crazy. I wish I could tell the camera men 752Please respect copyright.PENANARonhiYVBAW
to stop because the flashing lights were so annoying. 752Please respect copyright.PENANA1sz3nRQ9fs
I continued before any 752Please respect copyright.PENANAnV4mE0v0An
reporter could ask what I meant. "The truth is, what was going on 752Please respect copyright.PENANAtOsC1AWUWJ
between GD and I was real. He gave me chocolates and roses because he 752Please respect copyright.PENANAuyLzaUtTUA
was trying to make up for not being there for me the previous day and to752Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZDORBynrz
congratulate me on making it on the Elle Korean Magazine Cover. So, him752Please respect copyright.PENANAB1J3VZUsFu
giving me those gifts were more like saying 'congratulations' and 'I'm 752Please respect copyright.PENANAgBPyzYTbQk
sorry for not being there' kind of thing."752Please respect copyright.PENANAvXG24yVpZR
For a moment, no one 752Please respect copyright.PENANAZMkEDvRisa
said a word, not even the reporters. I turned to Collins, who gave me a 752Please respect copyright.PENANAC9TiAzrJqG
nod to go on. I continued to stare at the audience of reporters and 752Please respect copyright.PENANAeltnQ5enaV
camera men. I could feel G-Dragon's eyes on me though. But that 752Please respect copyright.PENANAep51J4nd8Z
shouldn't intimidate me. I cleared my throat and went on.752Please respect copyright.PENANAKLbkBEoTn5
"And knowing Zoey, she's752Please respect copyright.PENANAORqyOLrg7j
one who likes to capture such beautiful moments. So, she decided to 752Please respect copyright.PENANATNHa23GMKq
take a video of what was happening. And before we could realise what was752Please respect copyright.PENANAFPFOziTztU
going on, it was already too late. She first posted it on her fan base,752Please respect copyright.PENANAb0e1Je24uZ
which she usually does. But before she could take it down, her loyal 752Please respect copyright.PENANAdjoYVO5SHu
fans had already seen it and probably one of them posted it on YouTube. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAA7w0DMKNht
And that's how everything came to be up to this point."752Please respect copyright.PENANAEKcXsw6Fxa
All the reporters who 752Please respect copyright.PENANANsTLUHqfUb
were taking down what I was saying, started muttering among themselves 752Please respect copyright.PENANA3dx8jd2HUp
as though we were in a debate room. I didn't know what they would 752Please respect copyright.PENANAL86Id9lfug
obviously be talking about and I hoped that they weren't going to ask a 752Please respect copyright.PENANALuNAyBB2Ix
question that might just intimidate me.752Please respect copyright.PENANArnymqxObeY
The same female reporter from MBC raised her hand and she was told to proceed. I feared for my life.752Please respect copyright.PENANA6OGImgPDve
"So what you're trying to say, B.K, is that all this is Zoey's fault?" the reporter asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANAyHOpGIpo6R
"Well, I could blame 752Please respect copyright.PENANA3lVmwtnSVg
Zoey because she was the one who took the video in the first place and 752Please respect copyright.PENANAm7LvcIT9QE
without our permission. But it's not entirely her fault," I replied. 752Please respect copyright.PENANASedq7jvtHv
"I've grown to know her very well because she's my best friend. I know 752Please respect copyright.PENANAm0oqNFROX0
she didn't mean any harm by raising people's hopes that we were dating. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAvfwYjlI8Jx
Knowing her, she thought she could try to capture the great friendship 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5KdYQhQdyv
that G-Dragon and I have."752Please respect copyright.PENANAVkttB5RGfQ
What was I saying? I 752Please respect copyright.PENANApfzwcgRGqE
know I am being honest and genuine, but saying it with G-Dragon by my 752Please respect copyright.PENANA2QQiLw1by6
side felt awkward. If people got to know that G-Dragon and I had quiet a752Please respect copyright.PENANAf9MyYoVNzh
misunderstanding the other day, it would surly raise questions and the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAuxA1NgA1NB
whole world would criticise me.752Please respect copyright.PENANAmTBK0QQCR3
I stared at G-Dragon 752Please respect copyright.PENANACr2e7pKgxD
beside me and he was still staring at me. I could see it in his eyes 752Please respect copyright.PENANAwQeY0pysNs
that me saying all that felt wrong, but all that happened way before the752Please respect copyright.PENANAXpKGpvfwuG
argument. I was hurting as I said all that and I wish I could turn back752Please respect copyright.PENANAzmsoIXOQHn
the hands of time and set things right.752Please respect copyright.PENANAQyjwGGU6xB
"And also, she's always 752Please respect copyright.PENANA2FRFPGeI8W
admired G-Dragon," I continued, as I turned to the audience. "So, I bet 752Please respect copyright.PENANA3Fi7vk31o3
she was trying to capture G-Dragon's great personality. We all know how 752Please respect copyright.PENANA0VuXqHNIaY
much of a good guy he is, so, that's why Zoey did all that."752Please respect copyright.PENANAhp7EtBa6xz
I think I had said 752Please respect copyright.PENANAill6y0s2tg
enough and I kept quiet. This was awkward and I could feel that G-Dragon752Please respect copyright.PENANAMVbb6X3Uw2
was feeling the same way. All I wanted was for this interview to be 752Please respect copyright.PENANAw49wXl2BTT
over and get out of the conference room.752Please respect copyright.PENANAKavZh3HEGa
"So, you two are clearly not dating?" the reporter asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANAVKlmbQnnIU
"No," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time.752Please respect copyright.PENANA7ahMbms31i
Okay. That felt weird. 752Please respect copyright.PENANABUZxBs3Ckr
My eyes flew at G-Dragon and he also turned to look at me. That made 752Please respect copyright.PENANAm82WQsR4Ng
things even more weirder. I bet those watching on national TV would 752Please respect copyright.PENANAWVw5MdYpFJ
either find all of this a show or something beyond the ordinary.752Please respect copyright.PENANA4LkYt0qGvm
"And you guys wouldn't 752Please respect copyright.PENANABYS5A6X4I0
like to date in future?" the reporter continued. "Because a lot has been752Please respect copyright.PENANAkbZPo7tY7r
said since the video came out that you two would make a great couple."752Please respect copyright.PENANASwzkBWjaCA
"No, we wouldn't."752Please respect copyright.PENANAs0JlpWgBZd
Dang it! We replied at 752Please respect copyright.PENANAbkHHvhS25w
the same time, again! This wasn't going so well and we both knew it as 752Please respect copyright.PENANAVFUuXLiEZp
we stared at each other. These were the times you would tell the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ZndCiafP
reporters to mind their own business and walk away like you didn't care.752Please respect copyright.PENANAFfVZ43h8Zc
This was turning out to be just terrible.752Please respect copyright.PENANA5ptWPrf8IG
"There would be no need 752Please respect copyright.PENANAJOJefqPAg4
to ask such questions," said Collins. "The Toxins are here in South 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5lYVRtB3pU
Korea strictly for business. There would be no point for Sam and Ji Yong752Please respect copyright.PENANACfwdTiChX2
to start dating when The Toxins would obviously stay here for less than752Please respect copyright.PENANA0JbjMc6raU
a month or two."752Please respect copyright.PENANAjTQZsBJU02
Phew! Thank you, 752Please respect copyright.PENANAQGcSjCVBY3
Collins! No wonder I considered him as my top guardian angel. I was so 752Please respect copyright.PENANAMqOnumDxwE
glad that he finally decided to step in or else I would obviously have 752Please respect copyright.PENANAvusnZEZExH
told the reporter to piss off.752Please respect copyright.PENANAw89LlLdy3B
"So, how is the song 752Please respect copyright.PENANAeEHSeaiG04
coming along?" the reporter asked. "Because I heard The Toxins and 752Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5EUJ8fBMx
BigBang had quiet a fun ride at Caribbean Bay the day before."752Please respect copyright.PENANA9QQkKo0mhz
Oh no. That question was clearly not necessary. Aargh! This was what I considered the inappropriate question.752Please respect copyright.PENANAwPSSTTQZpk
"I don't see why you get752Please respect copyright.PENANAqForVDRFwW
to ask that," said Collins. "They went out to have fun and find a 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5UeRKYoWeB
source of inspiration for their song. And why not at Caribbean Bay? I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAs6wMDBtCq7
know Sam and Ji Yong were supposed to be here for the interview that 752Please respect copyright.PENANABQkxYYChGi
day, but apparently, you all came at the last minute when they had 752Please respect copyright.PENANAi51Fiz2WDQ
already made plans to go out."752Please respect copyright.PENANAl4Z4UhlAnx
I didn't know whether to752Please respect copyright.PENANAPQTmb8OoDk
be impressed that Collins is such a good liar, or I should hug him at 752Please respect copyright.PENANAs9rOBE1JlT
the end of the interview for saving our necks. That was such a close 752Please respect copyright.PENANAnOh9taSvvV
call.752Please respect copyright.PENANARdxcGYkurp
"I think time is already up," said Yang Hyun-suk. "So, if you would kindly excuse us, we have other schedules to attend to."752Please respect copyright.PENANA0260x8bmCI
No reporter asked any 752Please respect copyright.PENANAfHkl12IrBZ
further questions, that meant all of this was over. Finally! I just 752Please respect copyright.PENANAGRuGmQ41h9
wanted to get out of here and breathe. I needed the air because things 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5n1RiY33OH
were starting to get a little intense in here.752Please respect copyright.PENANAE0IWE6onwI
When we all got up from 752Please respect copyright.PENANAHyhojYzQ2c
our chairs to leave, I was backing away from my chair and the back of my752Please respect copyright.PENANAJUTS9zqrBp
shoe got caught with one of the cable cords on the floor. Before I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAoMb5y1RoUD
realised it, I tripped and was falling backwards. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAtf0Jh5N9fb
I almost screamed but before I could even reach the floor, G-Dragon caught me just in time. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAVig4EXlmrA
The camera lights in 752Please respect copyright.PENANAZAJcUnUXze
front of us flashed like crazy because of the scene. And I couldn't help752Please respect copyright.PENANAdK1BWz5ffY
but feel that all this just made things a whole lot worse.752Please respect copyright.PENANA5ntQQC6rop
G-Dragon and I were so 752Please respect copyright.PENANAmm1543zXZe
close and I couldn't help but blush when I looked up at him and he was 752Please respect copyright.PENANAGzR4NkIXT8
staring down at me. I knew that he was still angry at me, but I wanted 752Please respect copyright.PENANAYJxMGJbxa6
to forget about that and I hoped he would too. We could both carry on 752Please respect copyright.PENANAqnQIOGAyld
with our lives as if all that never happened.752Please respect copyright.PENANAF9ScJ2REQ4
He quickly helped me to 752Please respect copyright.PENANA223CM1nNwb
straighten up as the camera lights continued to flash before us. I 752Please respect copyright.PENANADWj0ks6yvy
stared at G-Dragon and I realised that I was still blushing. I took a 752Please respect copyright.PENANA7YfAkOjSbO
strand of my hair behind my ear and cleared my throat.752Please respect copyright.PENANACyI93I99yk
"Um, thanks, GD," I said to him.752Please respect copyright.PENANAEjAqOIi4lF
"You should be a little more careful next time," he replied.752Please respect copyright.PENANA1tqQcMojb7
I couldn't tell if he 752Please respect copyright.PENANAlimRtN12P0
said that because they were reporters around, or he really did care 752Please respect copyright.PENANAPYl95XZ4Ni
despite being mad at me. That, I'll never know.752Please respect copyright.PENANAtXwCq7Ma3S
The four of us walked 752Please respect copyright.PENANAH0rXXEsq0o
out of the conference room and I couldn't help but realise that I had 752Please respect copyright.PENANAPgcb0eLLQx
another challenge ahead now. And that was the song.752Please respect copyright.PENANAtHYtgPNZ8h
***752Please respect copyright.PENANAPTkQf1zFcz
"Sam, you were just awesome! Come here, you!" Zoey exclaimed as she ran towards me and pulled me into a tight hug.752Please respect copyright.PENANAuBeOeDXyjB
G-Dragon and I had just walked out of the conference room and Zoey appeared out of no where.752Please respect copyright.PENANAffEjzv3Fl2
"I thought you weren't supposed to be here," I said to Zoey, still embraced in her arms.752Please respect copyright.PENANAxAf7qFhi0m
"Well, ya," said Zoey as752Please respect copyright.PENANA5QzgFCIt7H
she pulled away from me. "I was watching the interview with the others 752Please respect copyright.PENANAbqrw705lpJ
upstairs and when I saw how you defended me in front of those reporters,752Please respect copyright.PENANAAdB8q7vJV9
I decided to come down here."752Please respect copyright.PENANA6sKojsAaEp
"You should have seen the way she came," said Lee. "If it wasn't for me, she would have come running into the conference room."752Please respect copyright.PENANA9s1eYFshex
"Zoey, what are you doing here?" came Collins' voice behind me. Yikes! Zoey was in for it now.752Please respect copyright.PENANAmzL8d26xBQ
"I came for my best friend," said Zoey. "Is that bad?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAzJaAYf2O0l
"At the moment, yes," 752Please respect copyright.PENANAtL62TNj4DA
said Collins. "Not when everyone now knows that it's all your fault that752Please respect copyright.PENANAf9KliJ3VHZ
you released the video and made everyone have high hopes about Sam and 752Please respect copyright.PENANAgZwjcfNL8E
G-Dragon's relationship. It was best to keep you out of plain site of 752Please respect copyright.PENANAIm0Dod9TjW
the reporters to keep them from asking any more questions."752Please respect copyright.PENANA9bc36fv1ku
"Come on, Collins," said752Please respect copyright.PENANAHPqXxmMFOY
Zoey, shaking her head at her manager. "Don't you know up to now that 752Please respect copyright.PENANAXKkGDYDYA4
whatever Sam says to the media everyone will listen and believe her? No 752Please respect copyright.PENANASO678dI05W
one is going to be mad at me for long if not at all. You'll see."752Please respect copyright.PENANACkZVZhi5Vt
"I don't get it," I 752Please respect copyright.PENANA7AbY9BaLSo
said, with a confused look on my face. "Why do you say no one is going 752Please respect copyright.PENANAGY0m7WSNax
to be mad at you because of what I said?"752Please respect copyright.PENANADzBW27bfUB
"You told the media that752Please respect copyright.PENANAoizV1c8dzm
even though I made the video, it was partly not all my fault. If you 752Please respect copyright.PENANARipVs263jy
want, Collins, you and I can bet on it. Everyone listens to Sam. She's 752Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZM6Iv4pNL
like some high-rank public figure. If she were to run for president, she752Please respect copyright.PENANASURteKr0YO
would be instated the very same day."752Please respect copyright.PENANAUm9xX7d5yu
Yang Hyun-suk, Lee, 752Please respect copyright.PENANADucXhc7nci
G-Dragon and I laughed at Zoey's joke, except Collins. I knew he was 752Please respect copyright.PENANAAH6QeHjnyo
pissed with what Zoey had said, but I had to admit, that was something 752Please respect copyright.PENANASoCTNvzFmj
even an angry person would laugh about.752Please respect copyright.PENANADUiJjzoCeF
Speaking about angry 752Please respect copyright.PENANAStZy7zZMlJ
people, I turned over to G-Dragon who was still laughing. It felt good 752Please respect copyright.PENANART5fNKQ3qd
to see him laugh and I smiled. But very soon, he will be back to the way752Please respect copyright.PENANA3feaR9v1VU
he was. Just the thought of that made me swell up with sadness that I 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5cOI7XCtcx
even had to face the other way so that no one would notice it all over 752Please respect copyright.PENANA0GvK9jU0Uo
my face.752Please respect copyright.PENANA9EBOgj12ES
"Zoey is one person you 752Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kjwah8SfL
should never throw away in your life, Collins," said Yang Hyun-suk, 752Please respect copyright.PENANA2j7xRnRVt8
holding Collins' shoulder with a bit of laughter on his face. "She's 752Please respect copyright.PENANATxuo4qBJpn
just hilarious."752Please respect copyright.PENANAXGpr8eas5C
"Ya, she's one of a kind," said G-Dragon.752Please respect copyright.PENANAF35JZmifIa
"Ah, and how could I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAzOxoG1gQJM
forget about my lovely G-Dragon," said Zoey, as she came to stand beside752Please respect copyright.PENANA1JVb8XxM1Z
G-Dragon and hooked her hand around his elbow. "You looked awesome 752Please respect copyright.PENANAJ06fieVufw
today. And handsome too."752Please respect copyright.PENANApb6SzZGWuY
"Wow, looks like Sam was right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "You do admire G-Dragon."752Please respect copyright.PENANAASHtGw1UI5
"Ya, no one knows me better than Sam," said Zoey with a grin. "If it were possible, I would gladly have dated G-Dragon."752Please respect copyright.PENANAGjC1B22luj
"Don't even think about it," said Collins, pointing a finger at Zoey.752Please respect copyright.PENANAT7BZYmoFJ8
"I know. 'We're here 752Please respect copyright.PENANAmf5jz4mjbL
just to collaborate with BigBang, yadda, yadda, that means no dating 752Please respect copyright.PENANAOu2Py3yDY5
anyone of them.' I still remember that rule," said Zoey rolling her 752Please respect copyright.PENANAwpfIOsDWdq
eyes.752Please respect copyright.PENANAzSVnWOR5Il
"Sometimes I wish I could kill you," said Collins, shaking his head.752Please respect copyright.PENANAb0iEEtlJam
"But you can't, because you love me just as I love you, Collins," said Zoey, with a huge grin on her face.752Please respect copyright.PENANAzGs5tVgOIB
"Hilarious," said Yang 752Please respect copyright.PENANAxLEkztKtZt
Hyun-suk. "We better get going. You three have to get that song ready, 752Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5ckIS230c
while we, have other things to attend to."752Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2l7iFaHu3
Oh, the song. For a 752Please respect copyright.PENANAhfv8BccJOZ
moment, I never wanted Yang Hyun-suk or anyone else to mention it. I 752Please respect copyright.PENANA7YY0BkclYk
felt my heart beat faster and I felt like judgement day had finally 752Please respect copyright.PENANALbPoSn6GL7
come.752Please respect copyright.PENANAAkOYeXMix6
We all found ourselves 752Please respect copyright.PENANA84AadV5MwA
in the elevator and I was quiet the whole way. The two managers were 752Please respect copyright.PENANAWO15du6BgP
busy talking about something important, while Lee, G-Dragon and Zoey 752Please respect copyright.PENANAa5Sdt4eLAf
were talking about the interview.752Please respect copyright.PENANAcIv9BFsZKT
When the elevator 752Please respect copyright.PENANAP6O6VjQZMm
stopped, Zoey, G-Dragon and I got out and we dropped off on the floor to752Please respect copyright.PENANAfJSUC1AJE4
the recording studios. Our managers and Lee continued on their way 752Please respect copyright.PENANA2fTwZPvCs6
upwards in the elevator probably heading for Yang Hyun-suk's office.752Please respect copyright.PENANAfBDy9fl8SR
While the three of us 752Please respect copyright.PENANAnGqIaQ3sZC
walked along the hallway, heading for one of the rooms, I couldn't help 752Please respect copyright.PENANACPaKDupAn5
but fall behind G-Dragon and Zoey as the two walked ahead of me 752Please respect copyright.PENANARSb7zK6Gir
alongside each other. The two were so deep in their own little 752Please respect copyright.PENANAqYqutNe9Cr
conversation, I didn't feel like listening or joining them. At that 752Please respect copyright.PENANAvx63X5Q0a7
point, I felt like I didn't matter.752Please respect copyright.PENANAAjDNSNY0hx
We found ourselves in one of the recording studio rooms and we found all our group members waiting for us.752Please respect copyright.PENANA9qKUQGiA5w
"You're back!" Christine752Please respect copyright.PENANAafd69pmSTV
ran towards us, coming straight for me and pulling me into a hug. "You 752Please respect copyright.PENANAHNEuhUlAjP
were so brave standing up for Zoey like that."752Please respect copyright.PENANAQBjQ340Eb8
"You know I don't like interviews," I said, trying to put up a smile. "I was actually scared."752Please respect copyright.PENANAigqj5sMd1P
"You didn't seem that way," said Taeyang. "You looked very calm as though you knew what you were doing."752Please respect copyright.PENANABvAZD7squh
"And you also looked very pretty," said TOP, giving me a wink.752Please respect copyright.PENANAdsiJKoxin7
"Um, th-thanks," I said while my cheeks blushed after Christine had pulled away from me.752Please respect copyright.PENANAVebFk7Qool
"Ya, you're looking 752Please respect copyright.PENANAYGUrZHySL4
prettier even now," said Seungri, staring at me with dreamy eyes. "I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAE9JLcExqnt
would've come down there in the conference room and kissed you in front 752Please respect copyright.PENANA2nrfhXHgJx
of the whole world."752Please respect copyright.PENANAoVHRAIKZoT
Daesung who stood beside752Please respect copyright.PENANAfYFl6nkUFY
him slapped him on the shoulder. Seungri whined in pain while he held 752Please respect copyright.PENANAHTkXrNhGGd
his shoulder and stared at Daesung.752Please respect copyright.PENANAuId73SajO4
"What?" Seungri asked. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAXtRRhkSWQA
"You only want to cause trouble, do you? You should learn to respect Sam, you know," said Daesung.752Please respect copyright.PENANAiXnZYfFZmE
I couldn't help but get the feeling that Daesung was a little jealous. I couldn't help but smile to myself.752Please respect copyright.PENANAYBDDuSoFNP
"Hello! Isn't anyone going to talk about the little scene that happened at the end of the interview?" Daniel asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANAagTJo0L6Zq
"Oh, the part where 752Please respect copyright.PENANAd0IoHxT58D
G-Dragon saves Sam from falling?" Zoey asked. "If you're worried that 752Please respect copyright.PENANA3lxkmcrc4t
people would find that romantic, I highly doubt it."752Please respect copyright.PENANAC6JVuYaQZG
Highly doubt it? If 752Please respect copyright.PENANA6eypffgc7u
Daniel was thinking the same way I had earlier, people would start to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAKLC0j4uSUE
make up a love story that barely even existed.752Please respect copyright.PENANAiiUVp8RLJe
"Well, fans do like to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAPitJn272qk
make out a love story out of small things," said Taeyang, scratching his752Please respect copyright.PENANAPua3SpALGk
head. "I wouldn't be surprised if that happens."752Please respect copyright.PENANA4BxzgG3108
Oh, no. Looked like 752Please respect copyright.PENANACnxUwFvqOI
Taeyang was also on this one too. I wished for someone to change the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAkMDpYVGNDo
subject. This was starting to feel awkward, especially with G-Dragon 752Please respect copyright.PENANAsWJ8x75q5X
standing right in front of me.752Please respect copyright.PENANAZlWr9g1tJc
I stared at G-Dragon and752Please respect copyright.PENANAHMZtvVvN64
I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't want to hear a 752Please respect copyright.PENANATww2q054PG
single word concerning love stories. We had other serious things to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAMgROtPF003
think about.752Please respect copyright.PENANA74fdKfGS2Z
"Can we drop that for 752Please respect copyright.PENANALZqJ8HVF1i
now and focus on the song instead?" G-Dragon suggested. "We don't have 752Please respect copyright.PENANAspiP52lNPJ
much time and we need to work on it right away."752Please respect copyright.PENANAs5WN1Lpg1r
"GD's right," I said. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAYf6yAVWhXA
"We all saw the reporter ask on how much progress we've made and Collins752Please respect copyright.PENANAr0Ejzh85Jf
made an effort to cover for us. So, for the sake of our managers, let's752Please respect copyright.PENANAdSAkVlQmNq
get to work."752Please respect copyright.PENANAXCGYso3Uc2
"But we have to vote again, remember?" TOP reminded us. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAMOUhEkIgQK
Everyone fell silent and752Please respect copyright.PENANAuA4e5o04tN
the room felt awkward. It was like the ghost of yesterday still haunted752Please respect copyright.PENANAKN6m8KK3tg
us even now. Again, I still felt like it was all my fault.752Please respect copyright.PENANA7Cl74YBTTt
"Well, we all agreed yesterday to vote again," said G-Dragon. "So let's get settled and get this over with."752Please respect copyright.PENANABk4YOub1Ab
When everyone went to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAP0McEo3ha8
settle down on the black leather seats, I stood on the same spot, deep 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5Uz2UkSMC8
in thought. Was all of this worth it? The last thing I wanted was for 752Please respect copyright.PENANAnWxXgUyOmE
all of us to be divided because of my stupid suggestion. Maybe I was 752Please respect copyright.PENANALNCEH5IJne
wrong this whole time and I shouldn't have done all of this in the first752Please respect copyright.PENANAEDsBdHHtf4
place.752Please respect copyright.PENANAXoo2ypaAfv
"Hey, Sam are you alright?" TOP asked. "You seem troubled."752Please respect copyright.PENANAdUGLPpg4Va
I came back to reality and I saw everyone staring at me with worried looks on their faces, except G-Dragon.752Please respect copyright.PENANAPqQcloUUvT
"Sam, are you okay?" Zoey asked when I didn't answer. "Something is up and you don't look so good. Tell us. What's wrong?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAmka3wfVJ6E
I still didn't say a 752Please respect copyright.PENANAbEaiBpmH1G
word as I played around with my fingers. I took in a deep breath and 752Please respect copyright.PENANA8hNnXaxPJz
breathed out with my eyes closed, clenching my hands into fists. When I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAfbJUz5oKNT
opened my eyes, I looked on at the others and said:752Please respect copyright.PENANAVaBtxpbtQh
"This voting thing is 752Please respect copyright.PENANA8U5ojiJppW
pointless. I take back what I said yesterday. It's for the best if 752Please respect copyright.PENANAocJxMcw6Nj
G-Dragon and I work on the lyrics for the song instead."752Please respect copyright.PENANAnHcXi75YcV
Again, the room fell 752Please respect copyright.PENANAWCijVlGhQw
into an awkward silence. Everyone's eyes were on me and they looked 752Please respect copyright.PENANAE3jgWtb4CG
surprised, except for G-Dragon. I couldn't tell whether he was smirking 752Please respect copyright.PENANA8M4598BmmK
or he decided to play stoic for a change.752Please respect copyright.PENANAmkt1rktX5k
"Wait, what?" Daniel asked. "Why?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAPxRzJhxiq9
"Because, Daniel, 752Please respect copyright.PENANANprnUYc7z2
nothing is going to change," I said, looking at my brother. "The same 752Please respect copyright.PENANAjfpWgJCCS8
thing will happen even today when we vote. It will end up in a tie 752Please respect copyright.PENANATXfZN0esIs
again. So, what's the point? I bet a lot of you have thought of it the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAcb7WL3zc8X
same way, haven't you?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAbSSglYIv4b
No one said a word as they all looked at each other, apart from G-Dragon, who still had his eyes on me.752Please respect copyright.PENANA4RreY8dD2l
"I think it's best this 752Please respect copyright.PENANAEBT63dc0oD
way," I said, grabbing everyone's attention again. "We're going nowhere 752Please respect copyright.PENANAhQKsxlhFca
like this and I should have realised it sooner."752Please respect copyright.PENANAqQVXuudiNX
"Well, it's about time you came to your senses," said G-Dragon.752Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ck6NsRiKp
I felt like I had been given a slap on the face. And OUCH! It hurt like hell. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAh8rUVBNFtb
"That's a little harsh, don't you think?" I asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANALYqMocSJPt
"Well, it's true, isn't it?" G-Dragon asked, with his eyebrows raised.752Please respect copyright.PENANAifLPvKA7eR
"Well, at least I'm bold enough to even admit that I was wrong."752Please respect copyright.PENANA1NBIhGhs0a
"And you want me to give you credit for that, Samantha?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAio5LM8zxHk
Samantha? Really? He 752Please respect copyright.PENANA7o6a8Jum2C
called me by my full name. Okay, it was clear he was still mad, but he 752Please respect copyright.PENANAjYbZVqt9HM
shouldn't be expressing his anger in front of everyone else like that. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ6rUfXitT
He should be doing it to me and me alone. I was ready for what's to 752Please respect copyright.PENANAEEmULTJptj
come, but not with our group members around.752Please respect copyright.PENANAJadOMlP1mm
"I don't think we should argue here," I said. "Why don't we go some place else and talk?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAX1ZGJA0Iy0
"And why should we?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAG0mfaQCfv4
"It's not right and you know it. If you want to get personal with me, at least do it with no one around."752Please respect copyright.PENANAsVrvl6DHI8
"Oh, and now you're trying to play the good girl trying not to hurt anyone else?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAx4D07A6FMS
"That's what I'm meant to do, GD. This isn't right."752Please respect copyright.PENANARshabh5NVd
"Sorry, Sam, but I'm 752Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5AUTxiP8v
rather comfortable here," G-Dragon leaned back on the chair with his 752Please respect copyright.PENANAAsSLcNVjup
hands behind his head and crossing his leg above the other.752Please respect copyright.PENANAIGYobFYxnn
I shook my head in 752Please respect copyright.PENANAUevjBQ7Ryu
disbelief. G-Dragon was totally unbelievable. Right now, I wasn't sure 752Please respect copyright.PENANAPVFUeLCjLN
whether to hate him or just feel sorry for him.752Please respect copyright.PENANAS0kBP0QdKY
"Fine, then we'll stay here then," I said.752Please respect copyright.PENANABcc6gD0bHz
"That's more like it," said G-Dragon, with a smirk on his face. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAWDp4kpWyVR
"You're so stubborn," I rolled my eyes at him.752Please respect copyright.PENANAOum9JFzr1c
"Ya, well, I was born this way."752Please respect copyright.PENANAdhSDowGvNd
"Can we please start working on the song now?" I asked. "It seems like we don't have much time left."752Please respect copyright.PENANA74yTAf00sV
"Okay, let's start."752Please respect copyright.PENANABIrQ85rD6I
"Umm, sorry to interfere752Please respect copyright.PENANAIsbkzEgCsM
in all of this, but are you serious right now?" Zoey asked, looking 752Please respect copyright.PENANA0KkR5KSWTH
surprised and confused at the same time.752Please respect copyright.PENANA0NdpfqRdIQ
"What's wrong?" G-Dragon asked, shrugging his shoulders.752Please respect copyright.PENANA3MaMDkfJxs
"I don't know if you are752Please respect copyright.PENANARPac7rK60Z
seeing this, but you two look like you're about to tear each other's 752Please respect copyright.PENANAtKxMF82Xn9
throats out. Doesn't that bother you? And you want to work on the song 752Please respect copyright.PENANACimCV8ZTcg
together? Today?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAd4fO8qekSC
Zoey was right. What was happening now looked more like the beginning of World War III, if not the end of the world.752Please respect copyright.PENANAMKyZPXezvH
"I'm sorry, Zoey," I said. "But do we have a choice?"752Please respect copyright.PENANALfP57MBhpk
"Well, I have one. Why 752Please respect copyright.PENANArctYQM1TWr
don't you two take a break from each other? You're scaring me and 752Please respect copyright.PENANAMRfmPH02ME
probably the whole lot of us too. Why don't you two cool down and work 752Please respect copyright.PENANAz4aO76p60t
on the song tomorrow?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAmIDX5t2Rtf
"Zoey's right," said Taeyang. "You two need to chill out. You both seem angry at each other."752Please respect copyright.PENANAp8SEfPhpNk
"I'm not the angry one, he is," I said, pointing my finger at G-Dragon. "I'm just being reasonable!"752Please respect copyright.PENANAdoepi3u3ni
"I know, Sam. You've 752Please respect copyright.PENANAVT8FXWaJoJ
both agreed to work on the song together, but you can't go on like this.752Please respect copyright.PENANAHdILR2pw8z
Who knows what may happen if we leave you two alone."752Please respect copyright.PENANA7z5rSJ5CyG
"Tae is right," said Mike. "I don't want to go back home with your beheaded dead body. Mum will kill us."752Please respect copyright.PENANATiXqthLxif
"Okay, fine," I said, rubbing my temples and taking a deep breath. "You're right. Even I can't work like this."752Please respect copyright.PENANAzfK9SgcuB4
I tried to calm myself 752Please respect copyright.PENANA4REPnjaSrr
down, trying to clear my head. I let my anger get the better of me. In 752Please respect copyright.PENANAJa4ulbMUZl
fact, I couldn't tell if all this was anger or I was just annoyed 752Please respect copyright.PENANAc6Y5t5HqtB
because G-Dragon was acting bigheaded.752Please respect copyright.PENANAlGgmmHrxVl
"Looks like we will work752Please respect copyright.PENANADytFa6EkSS
on it tomorrow then," said G-Dragon as he slowly got up from his seat. 752Please respect copyright.PENANAwjWyGfcIDH
And with his hands in the pockets of his jeans, he slowly walked towards752Please respect copyright.PENANACZWv9qSDLU
me.752Please respect copyright.PENANAoRwU7XVF7C
The last thing I wanted 752Please respect copyright.PENANA0PBPQRwmjn
was a face to face confrontation with him because if he was going to do 752Please respect copyright.PENANAItCK7VqP8G
or say something funny, I didn't know what I was going to do. But no. I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAEfY5iBpAcx
wasn't going to let my anger get the better of me again. I didn't want 752Please respect copyright.PENANA5quP556vIg
to be angry at him. If there was anyone to be angry at, it was myself.752Please respect copyright.PENANACukjzQDk3R
G-Dragon came close and 752Please respect copyright.PENANANfrMZUhQAm
he stared at me with his intimidating eyes. At first, those eyes used to752Please respect copyright.PENANAJkk8fR2XJP
make me melt like jelly, but now, I couldn't tell where that feeling 752Please respect copyright.PENANA7KFag7hczB
went. Maybe it's because those eyes weren't there to intimidate but they752Please respect copyright.PENANAkgjWXhySPk
were full of anger too.752Please respect copyright.PENANAyZEzZzQljP
He stopped a few inches 752Please respect copyright.PENANA4le0cSjEGn
away from me and I didn't back away. Earlier on, I would. But this time,752Please respect copyright.PENANANm01HcpQ09
I wasn't afraid anymore. I was tired of being scared.752Please respect copyright.PENANAGnVm2s38KU
"We'll meet tomorrow soon after practise, capish?" G-Dragon asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANAc7QXNZbEiR
"Capish," I replied, without any hint of emotion.752Please respect copyright.PENANAmF9Nc3h9bh
"Good. You better get some aspirin and rest. It looks like your head is about to explode and we don't want that, do we?"752Please respect copyright.PENANAtwWOPHPd2m
"No, we don't."752Please respect copyright.PENANAjzE6l78qPL
"That's my little 752Please respect copyright.PENANAu0Qcroa6R4
kitty." G-Dragon smiled at me and walked away, our shoulders brushing 752Please respect copyright.PENANApkHR1oBa8P
each other, and he went out through the door.752Please respect copyright.PENANAjOdKiK9G7U
"Well, that was close," said TOP. "For a second, I thought this whole place was about to blow up."752Please respect copyright.PENANABAiFugseJ6
"Ya, I thought I was going to watch a Mortal Kombart fight," said Mike.752Please respect copyright.PENANAqFWjtbwQhe
"Seriously? You're 752Please respect copyright.PENANAoTf0GW1QDb
bringing Mortal Kombart into this?" I asked Mike with my eyebrow raised.752Please respect copyright.PENANAJhHGf72M7g
Somehow, I wanted to laugh at the joke, but I couldn't.752Please respect copyright.PENANACvf3CJjllF
"Come to think of it," 752Please respect copyright.PENANAxdNNUgdFc6
said Zoey, staring at Mike. "You're right. Remind me of those two 752Please respect copyright.PENANAkIpPAccaP6
characters that hate each other so much."752Please respect copyright.PENANASlLd2o9ju9
"Scorpion and Subzero," said Daniel.752Please respect copyright.PENANAxpPBr2tx4p
"So, in this case, Scorpion is G-Dragon," said Seungri, who seemed to be enjoying himself with this.752Please respect copyright.PENANAaeFn3a533m
"Ya, it suits him since Scorpion and dragon kind of go together because of fire," said Daesung.752Please respect copyright.PENANAeQvXT6Tlhw
"Guys, are you seriously listening to yourselves right now?" I asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANAQJNfTmV2F1
But no one answered me as they continued their Mortal Kombart fantasy.752Please respect copyright.PENANAglnwAx3yrW
"And Sam is Subzero," said Daniel.752Please respect copyright.PENANAY0G7JAK9a8
"Ya, because she is all cool and chilled like ice and doesn't crack under pressure," said TOP.752Please respect copyright.PENANAyVSyn0LENp
"True, but also because Subzero is her favourite Mortal Kombart character," said Christine.752Please respect copyright.PENANAAzZP7KMe6i
"Oh, ya, I forgot about that," said Mike.752Please respect copyright.PENANAUinAhDvDCX
This was getting ridiculous and I shook my head in disbelief.752Please respect copyright.PENANA0rrAV1jxki
"So this whole thing is like a fire and ice relationship?" Taeyang asked.752Please respect copyright.PENANA0U3p4xz3ct
Oh great! Not Taeyang too! The argument G-Dragon and I had created a story in these guy's heads.752Please respect copyright.PENANAwwe6aygipN
"Ya, I'm already 752Please respect copyright.PENANA98GtDu7v0C
imagining it," said Zoey, staring off into a distance, obviously in her 752Please respect copyright.PENANA2IACilNLgc
imagination. "G-Dragon and Sam, like Scorpion and Subzero."752Please respect copyright.PENANAKOZ2hR6JNY
"Ya, I can imagine it too," said Mike, also staring off into a distance.752Please respect copyright.PENANAfh4HJ98OC0
"Sam looks so hot in her Subzero outfit," said Seungri, also deep in thought and biting his lower lip.752Please respect copyright.PENANAIWBg1oBoLg
"So hot," said TOP, nodding his head absent mindley.752Please respect copyright.PENANANPCpBnZBhx
"So does GD in Scorpion's outfit," said Zoey.752Please respect copyright.PENANA3YGooXHuT0
"Ya, their relationship is now like fire and ice," said Daesung. "Let's just see who wins."752Please respect copyright.PENANActZHkUNRLi
As I watched the others 752Please respect copyright.PENANA2nYL9YaczU
share out their silly ideas of how the fight would turn out, I couldn't 752Please respect copyright.PENANA6pkCnRFRLM
help but realise that they were right. Right now, GD and I weren't okay 752Please respect copyright.PENANAugdUxNpVKw
at all. To the outside world, we were friends, but to ourselves and our 752Please respect copyright.PENANAQK4GzBRAY0
closet friends, we weren't. One moment we were smiling at each other but752Please respect copyright.PENANAEmlj5LxgeI
soon afterwards we were fighting again.752Please respect copyright.PENANAgqQxch05d8
I didn't know how all 752Please respect copyright.PENANAQwfrqTlAWY
this was going to end, but if G-Dragon and I didn't resolve our issue 752Please respect copyright.PENANAUbz7WmOIgt
soon, we might not just hurt each other but also the people around us, 752Please respect copyright.PENANAz5qBz9W19E
especially our group members. And I wasn't going to let that happen.752Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Ao3eIZCV
If that was the case, I 752Please respect copyright.PENANAL6D8xrBc2J
had to win this no matter what. I didn't care if I was going to end up 752Please respect copyright.PENANAZsrCGAVHcd
getting burnt. I created this mess and I had to fix it no matter the 752Please respect copyright.PENANAYLaWIJKWAt
cost. Even if it meant I had to play along like the others. That 752Please respect copyright.PENANA2AMyGM8PgW
G-Dragon is Scorpion and I am Subzero.752Please respect copyright.PENANAo7dgw3YCzm
That he is fire and I am ice.
