Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 15: Fire At YG

My body ached all over 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB9OjEpWmg
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCWs3ajxHr
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6SWkDfz5L
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURY9hsm4P3
bed.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDCoikLyxJ

I scratched my head as I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsUjp9XDme
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRZ0jNefTm
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdYZ7N6o8Z
he found me here.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHdUCFJTE1

I slowly stood up and I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteQweVWH0O
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zpG3zqpOt
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqjzyaW7XJ
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2pu80PLpe

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhcPPTWWcc

I almost jumped in 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LQUdDNXXJ
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rt7N3mOam
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpUG6tYRXV
obviously reading the news online.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqK6qkjhJG

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT12Xil7KA4

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN22peO6Sa

"'Don't tire yourself 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5k4o3Dnlb
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTULE4dxf0T
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxqHjlJhc8

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI98gpufsIy

"Oh, you were listening?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIlbhmCBOj

"Ya, you kept on playing1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjp7MxTWKR
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NYPs4fSmK
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJCYPaoptb

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdXlkIe6u3

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcViW8qasns

"For covering me with a blanket."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAIfLOsA3p

Collins looked at me 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjhKmpYA4a
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KasxXFk2M
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWfao2UGMi

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmuPpyWJoA

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdclGEqUzn

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsPvGUvxdE

"Me too."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxFHy73w2m

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcxEdIEeZw

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf6IJjpKSc

"Going to take a shower," I said.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcRiKtQnc3

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1QBVieBWU

After I freshened myself1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60SYEkpcb6
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6BZCEAiXt
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOTCPsF8mm
Collins was still on his tablet.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch6fleMSEr

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAvQDtYITZ

"Nope. Just looking at 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZanIeJCMd
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFrYhe0T7H
coming back late at night with the others."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuxFXMwxrh

"Are they having a good time?" I got a slice of bread that laid on the middle of the table and was applying marmalade on it.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxEr5l24Am

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqbh3sqM42

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHBYFV2slr

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuz8Jz6LtP

Collins handed his 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxedrd7560C
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblJ07YwtNF
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAJR3Iirqi
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPwPpE5oIr
having a great time.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuQIaZYTS5

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM0vL7u86w

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zerkmO4qJ

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXyr4YmaU6

"They should have as 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmxZJJe2fk
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfMUuVg7A3
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDnXnWwdHq

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzbbDRACrm

"No, it's not about the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOVUKWODXD
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvIldAG95B
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ59drvIDQ

I looked at Lee who sat 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM8MS1k2Ge
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUVYxIh9Jy
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JN860Kn51
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG5XeNFhiY

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1jR31D0U4

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhVpbOLNBz

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yF9hzeg0C

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgXNjUnPm5

"If I tell you, I'll 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Ddzvez8p
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDEXEvRkXh
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JFK0yLdaA

Collins got up from his 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpynuUGjqwi
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiFXMpEgl0
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsG1eoLoaK
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU4fLpkcsJ

"What do you know?" I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM9yVOrYDr
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BdrDiVrTe
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZo7zNVavb
detective asking questions to a criminal.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelX3K1f0Da

"I don't know," Lee 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS0EBtWSPF
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdlz1DPnCC
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKydMFrmSc

I knew something was up 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXquB4ncElI
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFIoTMTMT8
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yAHAcMIwU

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7MQAtTbA9

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzkwCF9kst

"Well, hopefully." I blew out a puff of air and shook my head as I thought of what happened to G-Dragon and I yesterday.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1F0NOnRNf

"Hey, what's wrong?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNeklDkfg5

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm73lOALp6

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1VuSnEoRF

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iS1QfXa43

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTxoTj3034

"Well, kind of," I said 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9DnEAQxy9
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMRxvMRCM7
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU5d7cFqYX

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSIf9zCysK

"Okay."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6VMpVYYE5

I was just done eating my breakfast when Collins came to tell us that it was time to go. I carried the guitar and my notebook.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ4CBX1f5I

Lee, Collins and I soon 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyixDdzRUie
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa2KLuC06b
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCsK2InByo
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JAIzPff4k
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8ZIwLOAhT
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsbqpLT2Lt

I was waiting in th 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh0h7bSylZ
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGbuyTKTz2
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF6MUjTPYQ
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbehibUu3p
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdO4buJ0uI

I was pacing up and down1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsNUHKS6Qz
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAKkLGJJDw
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT6kJgo8L6
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFtPeDs3GQ
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IlN84GNjE
and I was so nervous.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiDthyyLEL

"Here she is," said Lee,1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFSkeLWixy
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlnK8IAD3E
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMIE9hY5BK
you, Tae."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzGRnDbOEx

I frowned at Lee and I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KTbRdj0mO
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qIfQTAIFo
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgWQPOOrvp
friend.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdMKu6HzME

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCqLVwfhN7

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVSwiOTXFo

"I told Taeyang that I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAzFQdyc6b
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyxB5ZEk4C
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0aheqRXhn

"Our manager called me 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4ebF1ZjgO
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7Mao2dfpY
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmkQ22auab
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKYKLoRB85

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Et6lajJX

"I'll go and check on the managers and see what's taking them so long," said Lee as she started to head out of the room.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5bGd355V1

I wanted to call out to her and tell her to let it be. I didn't want our managers here just yet. But she had already left.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4oOplVE77

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVXoze36jF

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoj8qTbynE

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KaN5nJdS6

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZTziz10YA

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNZv9pO9GS

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrDBclPLN5

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRdQNl5AON

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseWlPbPvBP

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstIDvIISC8

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFsYelBkz4

"Sure."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Krtpwuqq

I gave Taeyang my 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8v3BvEqpQ
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKk3Rqneb2
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76qdWLjdbh
cute together.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxWLU0cS7p

"I can't wait for you to sing the song for us," said Hyo-rin as she looked at me. "The lyrics sound really good."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BrSzzGOxj

"Thanks. I was singing 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IMkXk2Nav
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjQjroHqIu
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SptiAt5bt
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4UM8ef5Mp

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi2v60X2pm

"Well...not really," I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TsKRJdeTB
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4BLapRRrp
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXbU44YBpN

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUqJhHCJl4

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR36wRZmbH1

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9U4xzMD20

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUiyHvD72D

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRvkf1ALBr

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukOiQxkogZ

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uHsgWMpZq

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CFY6S4Q6K

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl67N1Sapj

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMX0ACX5aV

"Right now."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelFemShEzR

We all turned towards 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEn0evZs1w
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr2c38rI28
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHambiUBPb

When everyone got 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPIPM7HiB9
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusiwy0jx3b
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkfPBunuL6
run out of the room.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXogkLRobwe

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZS7qL4b5o

I nodded my head and my 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH9LthJXzq
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTl52CSCbs
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMWLKI5GIt
ever got to play it.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9WlEUSi6s

I felt a break of sweat 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lfpzvE88N
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ao7FTgwxR
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fh2XiezPr
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH78TThPDgI
strung the strings on the guitar.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcJyBv9PyL

I started to sing as I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaNwSMg5pK
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiVcY1DnJz
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxTqwR5rap
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9hwL8cj5E
didn't. Well, I hope so.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BFSzdYRqr

As soon as I was done 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIbsOTvq7W
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMuZiWkVFp
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5e2sLMDIu
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJN3FKghvp
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJwSkltkce
hoped they liked it.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhUW1f7Dnl

The studio was still 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemLjAfli6f
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPRBOal8eJ
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQAfa8j2FT
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppXKS3TAxe

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCHW2fW1jB
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfBDlgrTlt
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohOCvfoHsv

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXTohfqJ1p

This was it. The hammer 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG6DPI0rl0
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQehOXoh61N
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJffWr5xs3f

"....incredible."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHC1TmTriF

I opened my eyes and I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtuzNxpz5E
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtchpAyqWn
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBlmXhBPRq
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbBEySBNf4
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt2nRnZJSj

"I've to admit, when 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrYP7kmIXd
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgQwmDxs3l
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluHBgxe7yp

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JubEn8IB3

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADeCHoYkij

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuKE4Z1PyM

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Nf3Va39B

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd1W9YGaRz

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMEiHdz5gY

I couldn't stop smiling 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjnTwBbgiA
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz57O2AsGK
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bstFTqiSY
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAWdyo8ot0
good voice and a golden one.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXcZiCPvwo

Immediately our managers1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJXaWj6a1W
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGLTVOvRET
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJSJLrbO7P
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqj5up3KZI
musical instruments.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMrwIBatcM

This was always the hard1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv3N5jzZ37
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG2GRyRfOp
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq69buTOXIH
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygnmUhTCnf
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dY53Hj9dM

An hour had passed and I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUSU1RB5ht
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6TxVd9F7D
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDnTmj7LMU
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHDUe0f3t3
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ypMfwJ5pQ
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVEfzbxmpi

"It's been an hour and I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YxWpgOxg6
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL5BCXPuj3
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGscrxk2tB

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6F5zy14E1

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6MvKW7NOK

"Trust me, you're so 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2yvG1k4r9
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xunVDTj7v
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLitcvHjEl

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbC96knrSU

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSnEDr3ffF

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhFN94GitL

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUsyZDm5mb

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBUYwpZ0Bo

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNm4Iz1YrN

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqkjfs3JYR

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArMQPXrux0
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12CTETw71K
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj8By9Q02W
masseur."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNDcJ2Pk4W

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWk7pjVcUf

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNesXBFcIl

The music producer soon 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VYRNX6s3n
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNY1q96wKk
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxGBPYfDFE
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iLd4PXPEK
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG54m3eBnVo
recording the track.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhQN8QKHFU

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh9Tka8Nq4

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd2Icm0avz

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKYKgtwlcF

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtVF1dbXkD

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi5DOEzOkP

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iC0Nsbl5d

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSkzj1E5fU
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwsdp5ED4F
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL4VWV5NHC

"Let me guess, you're 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ64hcy1Ea
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzcwrovFKy
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFo4Wa0O3A

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokZN7EZKNg

Something told me his 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyQEYiaf5m
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gvs1eVnBd
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66cMBVnWdF
always does.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByYFsSYrIn

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL9fwOnKK1

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbcEVN2exZ

It was late in the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXefQ5Usfw0
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJobsP2Zpv1
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXzue6zc6C
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoU3Ii5vVr
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8obKqd1gys

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIEljXTmhH

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi5ZUUmso4

I looked beside him and I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQzEM6v8t4
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9X6e4T6lE
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1IWheXhpj
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lJMnVqO5T
leaning my head on the console.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6ZYSEZZA8

"I always hate this part1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkBPVCTAbf
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacfcfqaxri
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdXNu6atyl
console.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqjtSa7L4W

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRfFcbSS8d

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a59hnGtLl

"I wonder what time."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3ZYpWSHWb

"Wait." I pushed my head1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyjf9Jpkvm
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHzgPdHJPP
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6fOoUapZ0
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0mKwTtqoA

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASZytf5bdt

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos0gIqzD2p

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbSpbaI6zP

"I didn't sleep well 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aQt9imONU
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoCZeY89Ce
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLljMJwRrky

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74UMjSoQI2

"You're right." I soon 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0P6mHhyTC
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEpES53AEc
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgb7ygvPSK

"He said they might come at nine in the evening," I said when I cut the call. I was so sleepy I felt like I couldn't stand up.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTycTEpvxAY

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs0duLsTge

"Alright. Thanks."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcU6tc6uUa

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxanv8xjPM

"And so will I," said Seungri.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpoBRi2B96

"Guys, it's fine. Taeyang and Hyo-rin will take me," I said with a small smile on my face as I faced Seungri and Daesung.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcSKf22lTV

Immediately I left the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ct45xpIxb
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4niiNcp6o1
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE42j1N8Xyq

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpekxFLAv9t

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QPrWKlnIG

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJfBa16fkY

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoGNPYShYm
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVJNi9cfIx
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O0Hb1zQfx

The next thing I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC82olGb3kA
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjpmscsvZN
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPdcKQPvDU
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qZUbojEzn

I woke up by the sound 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHf2yLjeZS
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7UVEe2yjV
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC4JWpFJL2
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTnik30aVE
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcmH7S7R5L

I reached out for the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcSlV90WUw
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2EbikH93c
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt908V8Mf3
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2unIWflnP

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNGMwKYJG8

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewSISdGyhJ

"I could hear it ringing1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLJZkqmdH5
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU711JQm6o
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1rCaPbXZR

"Thanks," I said as I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM7q4N2Pv2
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡachm4YdWOi
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3ULDag6tA

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfxECabfvw

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIavv6OuC23

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcHvw4Naq2

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd7wdw9MAS

Lee left the room and I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJtufgEAbm
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww3x1rewC5
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF8OxPnUn9

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V2XMJAvug

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyhKeY61wN

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiJ6t8Hfkj

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8kSK3wfvJ

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9qj2oKhAb

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN9DMAtfPh

I dashed over to the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtuXNMmAyC
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRvLzbYtVX
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOfIGJMJ9c

It was now 10 PM and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UmKcRJ8og
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEg5XLwWzh
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL3XcZByIW
they were right now.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBrAPUJkZY

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1wgz5Pa87

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25DdAw50Bu

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75JF9R0nYp

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJqy0wafr3

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBYjCxi4Ck

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim6kci1OZj

"True."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhZmfejqrg

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVOfhzpxQd

Two bell boys came out 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcDFCy7LT1
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmNO33sSvI
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO57O344Qc9

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tC3mHu7xv

There were so many gift 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdE1Cw9IsN
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJfrAnrtjB
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX4ALPyjqw
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhNMStp9XN
so pissed.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsI4GqZter

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiwSdQYfPw

"They are downstairs," he answered.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCtJmR6RIX

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCRoZNg6j4

When the doors flew 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT9rZ35Eu1
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL0bITqt4p
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPgn3B9Hkg
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xafdgLHIj

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtrDle3EvK

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuvDHqyZuj

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr0v75yejI

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbbjM6KZ0b

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK90gBhJaF4

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qNbmoU5IN

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Q96ewGdE

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgJYiGj9Mk

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWyttznsY8

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DEahdh4Rs

I raised an eyebrow. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2rp8vsJoc
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmswHfIXCG
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxeGRf1652

"Okay. Enough," I said as I shook off Zoey and Christine away from me. "Can someone please tell me why you're acting like this?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUORolR5knQ

"Everyone just missed 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9eJ2EUwWT
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPue8jfK501
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3HRnErrJ7

I rolled my eyes at him,1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2TtI1nbHB
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW6xmvIPvv
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb00HtP1Ha
face when I hugged him.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeZkfkIi3q

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdqyaZ64Rf

"Wait! You missed TOP 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6oJNm4YvF
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai3frTF6Kc
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo0AgUIe0o

I always loved it when 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW4kWnAwt2
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wdmJFwUVP
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGNevrQXO3

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBEEXnwssJ

For a moment, that voice1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNxuvDWyl9
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Fy9jSIEt
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA54GyTNMv
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLucO72kBk
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxjsAD5JSC
he was still acting the same way he had left.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DTt0WSZgj

I was really confused. I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7B6RYfZLc
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvZEo0Gzlh
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74W4We0c3C
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpAH1W95xO
personal and it had to do with me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjuqiJnZoD

I had no other choice 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ePk4Jz1w
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp5MJ6B1Uc
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzr1aD5y7b
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3K2iF9qbK

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg17e5oNnlG

By the look on his face,1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobxwppYrmJ
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28af1Cq0QC
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9gby7T7QP
going to end pretty tonight.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5nxAWdTds

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05lwcN6HV6

"Ya, I did."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYICEs3BhA

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqfry8IAcf

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqByG7BR3Q2

"Can't wait to hear it,"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTACXydqHr
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ0XkXYlo5
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIXjR4DR9z

"Anything for you, 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdivGwvBnWd
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfHYlyr0ID
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtaw7IzMoz
look at Zoey.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi83kjHl2lE

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIMHonAcTZ

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG4uAkt4uK

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HJgS05Eeb

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMs3fXcNZf

"You know Collins is 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l0fhovW3U
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHWbZGD5cU
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTJ8dXkAGv
floor.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXdRx5SWfE

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OTONSVZWA

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyEznfOwcH

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhzgGetr96

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL6DlxNALz

"We better sort out all 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MpP7Huag3
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rFMXn2EHl
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq5rFZfMHr
floor.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSTdiyaG4w

Sorting out all the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnw7H38UBM
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSqdqGF44k
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISOqc7l1bJ
had really bought a lot of stuff.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EyFVIZ6R5

The boys had brought a 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWEjycJzJZ
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgh0Ue4CxB
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EolCqDK2r
expensive designer shoes.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYsNAaCzqk

As for Zoey and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvLEGRlTHT
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAwKPb84WL
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw3mRQXqT1
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA5MZuiTJn

"G-Dragon was helping me1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR4uE4F7pp
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtwUFySRer
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3ObZNmHGW

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp2y97lujm

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3jN4nHmKh

We were sitting on the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAipG4jfjAf
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA64w7XIpt
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnsRkhSpdg
stuff with Collins' too.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsGll539UF

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80yPl5vKOW

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqXaTL3TnL

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb2X0wGGgt

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1O6jSxuCy

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOysSfnUug

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHeNue2VEv

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV73P7ChvJ

I distributed the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHF7PVVhdN
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl2bDhkL8T
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafF9KjJ86r
was meant for me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v7jujqKOE

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpgOwn9swi

"Don't worry about it," I said as I walked over to her. "We will find it tomorrow. We can't go through all these right now."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKq5yFR1Xp

"Ya, you're right," said Zoey. She had a gloomy look on her face. I could tell that she had bought that gift with lots of love.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajsuSKEbnQ

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtU8N732Fw

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftoCGuf4Vn

For a moment, time 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65v8NIkSe2
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C5HfutLBB
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyWXHAlQ00
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckCzzigvyo
mess.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVBafbLwyP

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g8CVtWbnT

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLBNvQsoA6

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOk5Rz208m

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZJYx8tYwy

For me, it kind of felt 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaVLKwMkOR
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHS4P3O2qG
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh2wG2vmwz
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcT3VrtYtm

When Collins came to the1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0j7q6jjTE
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81orpdO6zM
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBX7ZBIihG
he just couldn't.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDnUJ2B7aO

"Hey, Collins," I said.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnv9L03vHv

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx4H1BHfiB

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakjnbSbDHY

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn7dv8Owpd

"Thanks."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4dFVzGQMD

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcCyYleuJK

"Who?" I asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjqaoVFJjN

"You know who I'm talking about."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFviC5FqQY

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdFV1Q7O07

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxyvG4xAgg

Collins went over to the1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBWQO2my3v
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjPa8hZivf
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2qLX6uJO1
up at him.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjujVIhISJ

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDhBJmmuxq

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCGXDOSH8X

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wEYAnmgu5

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISLKtcJ54T

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzirWJwe4dJ

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2NaMQTc8P

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGK57HMT94

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCmpJa92Dm

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uczzyP0Ug

"Ya, most of the stuff weren't bought by us, you know? If it came to the designer clothes, it was all from Chanel," said Zoey.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCucSTUBiG5

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToq00uhuJC

"Here, we brought you an1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJnlHw971s
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtsZgg4xOI
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5oGWu6FKs

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5diiCyMYLd

"Thanks," said Collins, 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMf85r9EOh
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaNnsLVqX1
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8HGH4fy7x

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoiESMImcc

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCMvfYRD2u

Lee was right. Collins 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihRGsfMiag
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgROQf0ck7
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKULe2ZNQL4
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb705DKTvT
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEPTfzAzbR
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnmHlizGXG

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN2JhfxkOc

We continued sorting out1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vlE7FmHO2
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHZOa5bNvU
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkYvqFi7Po
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9IHdbFbpP
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Te6I0TzVM
already too late and we all needed to rest.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEONXEL81vJ

We hadn't managed to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRwcA7xVGF
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzeCCgeZ08
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMvvGLrXpw
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsPI1xn4DL
course.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBxqWcfP5o

When we were all done and had retired to our rooms, Zoey quickly pushed me into the room when I was just coming into the room.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFeekbYbKO

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXhEwqSvse

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKBcFovaHO

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRICOMlE2yP

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMqaN5jm27

I looked at her with an 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9boVEBe2Q
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh0dqmYIoY
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczh8wK6G0w

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOaqGiScDq

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvz6LIfg5l

"Fine?" I looked at 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3yf4aza7P
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngYuaw89gM
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHSX11mDfd
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaJzHQZMF1

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hp73Qmrm7

"Tell me, please!" I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHxlCJNRvM
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsSyrJDybQ
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FCoqsRGdk
tell me something. So tell me!"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi65DvuXpv

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOAmKhOqOE

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qFg5h02CB

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y7qUr73uY

"Hello! Earth to Zoey!" I snapped my fingers in front of Zoey's face. "You look so lost. Please tell me what's bothering you."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgjgDwk7WJ

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoscmoeizIK

I felt really excited 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8wbxGEKMQ
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFqf81aoFx
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfITyRU1uJh

"I don't know how I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zhh6ul8t7
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWGNkvXlsT
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn9k1ReyPF
Tower."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb7So46I8C

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdnHg8Zv7e
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTXQEjfxMQ
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej87xUlHhY

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4aBgPK1Qj

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpPyAJowji

"So we got to the Tower and we were having a good time as usual." Zoey paused as she licked her lips. "Then something happened."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovUNxpY8du

"What?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXqAG3vYcp

"When we got to the top 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUHUTvRueC
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ747NHBhOJp
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dW7ZJEwSO
others had left and it was just GD and I."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChThwUcM2Q

My eyes grew wide. I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9rlfl47EX
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1J5t9Gqma
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg696zwvNh1

"You two kissed."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspRlBJ0BZW

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqdSdJQrDk

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZRuqTp9MH

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkXBmXuD3m

"Well, you were in one 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTe7GcpoaY
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA13KYzQWW
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCwpuJBPpR

"Smart."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0cBT1t4eZ

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiO1gpPdOM

Zoey smiled like a fool,1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70mw70GLhE
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuasJnXoI0
it was so magical at the same time."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYEGCNOvDH

I couldn't help but 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Baiug2rAv
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0uGlao76M
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsNSyq8oil
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqksZn0sbH
everyone at the prom.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxjSVpkL3a

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpWPJVgWYo

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ4aUnnWn5

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uv7bEcWnU

"And? Anything else? 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD79mJwGJN
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQVlW8N3l1
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIFz8jMhbq

"When we were on top of 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u4G4QM7FS
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiNPcaIptY
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyqXjk1kIz

Well that's a bummer. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZct1bRLITR
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXpTzkp7VE
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwqoh1VrZo
really liked Zoey and not me?1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsiNqAO93b

I brushed that off. Why 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YvRH5bdbR
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTg3KI5Rd0
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgnkBI5FhF
hopes up with it.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJY04kD4OA

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX8G4jgdtw

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjXP4ZVPup

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFzWllKvba

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwQJcExQM8

"Thanks, Sam."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF2n9I2lYK

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9gcjSOa1T

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKj0yAXd0b

I left Mr Panda on the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyhGQDwqfi
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrs3Ke5Pdu
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMcgNHKdNQ
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp5g6f1DTR
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcLWtAn8hy

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wATiQQD7d

"Good night," she replied. She turned to the other side to flip the switch beside the bed on the wall and the room went dark.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniJxOQzjmo

I laid my head on the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf4U83d06m
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Fyagk8rK
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMFSRsZLvI
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpNJknawe7
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxsQTTiOyi
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7MJQvYFyz
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdAo2d580C
have been.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XM2LNm5tL

Zoey would have only 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2T7sqkmi7
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5y31DMjLj
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp6Hwl9k4J
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsm0OqLO5H

To be honest, I was happy for Zoey. And when I heard her giggling again, I realised that I wouldn't want to hurt her.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj0X7PyFMn

I pulled Mr Panda closer1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHm7kVsbR1
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWazIiS4FD
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnjAjUQZJ4

***1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskbZe3AmbC

I was given a round of 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SOisOjiY3
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfKYqSnb72
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKH346kCc3
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjraCUA1rY

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77cdnaxVOG

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvu5bikKFO

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNj9tdFTK1

"Then you better eat 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MMJnEyzup
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYYc5370F1
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsdyvNGsF0

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXNFVFRmcS

"I can't wait for us to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRK88diptl
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTPw8wHZpQ
beside me. I could only tell why.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHiv6kYEDJ

Christine who sat 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMucuteB2g3
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SEzxvGFF9
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSjVbSUhsm
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa0mKamhHr
and G-Dragon.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN05xLjQ6NM

When we were done 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lOj75jKXF
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY3pH6kP9h
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iMIZYUJDa

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKliufwRzZ

"What is it, Zoey?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDjJplUMEv

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAjhEQBSxU

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5C2QHOnAd

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TTj71sNYp

"That's the problem," 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54qQpyBe7A
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnehJkFPmJB
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74FjGq6k5q
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWvQDJ6xbC

Mike turned away and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ5exMHl44
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3TUAtgDAY
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfrxRu2jg7
something?1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSCgQkh34n

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3VPwR8Vj8

We agreed with Christine1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBffGS3CypS
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDapFBqOn5
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsGXmnwr7r
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kYZ33BYye

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aqyY677D4

"Hey, how are you," said G-Dragon as he came and gave her a hug. I bypassed them heading to the couch sitting next to Daesung.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uLnRwDFgw

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU4DQyt5Ec

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6pSAJOKkP

"I also feel like I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ljn2n8dMY
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd0UKjGKeI
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLUBCMGciU
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8o0dJHWry

"Do you think we should 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33jJXYXjoe
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcS5CINX1m
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCuKkKjWPP

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2HaYviCFG

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUMDNEoMuc

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKI3tnYDrv

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKlxGA82JT

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGN9KEBUSN

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMER4HVDJp8

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpIjem0WOG

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhJn5225UH

I stood up from the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMDOpPYsID
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNL5YEGsN3
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDGtlSoXTH
conversation.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c5z5N1b7i

When I went back, I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9pJzf4wkX
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu8OPDYKTg
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJFtkOPm2n
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LZ3QNwnh0

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRDHxUJcPk

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7nl6v2b3u

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFjl1SgIgt

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqbgBSiQY8

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlamcrXRjrt

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcebcWJ8ah

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhloSIAtZsS

G-Dragon gave me a weird1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib675xadLO
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuio8OZ3Au
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3K50btXMW
took their place on the couch.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpI3Hoe15T

"Christine and Daesung, I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXiOMd44gj
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP90WdNTK4f
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhIt00b4E4

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7raWvdYRVM

"Ya, we will sing the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkvzmnbH0o
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2xDfyLY4j
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIwIQnx1Gm
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMycJWNOTF
producer has the lyrics printed out."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuzI6Mu0A2

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAeRxuEGmO

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjhtVfCnR3

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfwz70oDRg

Then we all went over 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCOGlbPGXg
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeSXnVYRGp
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzoK3Kgfuc

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQjgCvSmR0

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlWO6Nh6PX

"Me too," said TOP.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gv6NmMHue

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbsh1xaXo4

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6qwj0S8yz

I didn't look up at him 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbVMSsO49m
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EJZ1wmXsZ
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIEhgbdHy1
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep05CnL48L

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYX7T9WP7r

I started to relax my 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnlfyj7nPo
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2EefCxtX9
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfgxsxjtdP

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMqurp8qw8

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPWCJA4eeJ

G-Dragon came to sit 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Md35vQuD1
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXSswpRWH2
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXGdF1LqxE
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z8Z68XDB7
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2E7qaMBYy

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPBTNfX6OK

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUfe4q5OMb

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcGarClkPC

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3zVrIgz6h

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6oCZy3XVY

"Really?" the music producer asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXY55LqMKL

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxnoTCSWAP

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e2j3ywCsE

"Give him a chance, 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANG1c9iFcm
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLepXfoCEpN
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz72DFXI9i
headphones and put them on.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETYvucffit

"Okay, this is 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA272aCTDSd
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QL4vGATNM
join them and see what needs some changing."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjH1ClI6do

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotEq0sQFb7

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYapKsSnnN5

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nqlaB1VEK

The others looked at me 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1fYMlgwLZ
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapsIH9Vz5a
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoKMYLbcpJ

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWE1eh4RT8

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaxBoJVbBo

"That's going to be a 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRX6rZmuE4
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XrXuNhHVo
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuYtfxiSW6

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnePGVMJjU

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX24M84GoB

"Okay let's go through the song," I said as everyone nodded their heads and sat on the couch and I went over to get the guitar.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9nMAP4Onw

I looked over at Zoey 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGJsNmCUKx
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwp0h9t6Iq
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMYRlMNIBG

I put a stool in front 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFqJV9CUHL
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44iSGvJfwH
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsoTJPQx7W
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEPGBJGZhe
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0wWo1uEEa
others.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPKVDTrIwx

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKicIP4l5EC

Taeyang and I sung the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VbLbhVxtC
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTMISoYwIT
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm0MnICfJ8
great and everyone cheered.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu5OgdvfMT

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sYQ9K6ece

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0jHt4Fvmz

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2VnG0QU9f

TOP started to rap the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwfrOzlZP2
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lNQPfaMsS
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojVWrMwS69
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjvhwjsmDK

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNkrFXAXT1

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YCzaIeFe1

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb9hLQ6mEP

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk3Wh5jXat

Daniel and Seungri sung 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1ES5VnNHB
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KFPSieVhl
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebJknzs1j4
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaETCeM76Bg
clapped for themselves and cheered.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgy8lAFHdz

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgnkRvFLJv

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nimVwpymL

I almost fell off the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQh3FVJkdq
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRSDXAGMtL
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIheanwdYI
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVnkOz1rdN

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxzDpMbDtt

"I have to say, you all 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ihzQkcxOX
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMdA1bnhZU
smile. "Keep up the good work."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOqrkeLh45

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgSpeaxlux

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVOATlzAEi

No one said anything. We1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMjvGuw8Pu
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5OXYMsMB4
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDog33WPYZ
talking.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYjnCh9r31

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rqU2d8fjK

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu7n8mEHKA

That, I couldn't answer.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCzcGbaNDC
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZNlBHAvce
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgcxyaS3Nd

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lX5fFhK2e

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesnRktAgh1

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8JMtom9N8

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4pFpku78j

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdpS1XEYeh

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDhL2SrbYr

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE7oINmD53

"I want them back here 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQrpquFiLg
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BVlHlz1u3
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl2v2yMywu

I gulped as I felt the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOGUiVhrpp
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFtIEIWS5p
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMXxo6JqUR
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrpE2evxZi

No one said anything 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsDHwb5GAG
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJb9WLXweR
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX3sYZjkaH

"Where could they have 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuk77DWHx4
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhZRrPW6OX
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Z0emh7zi

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKXy0spZmU

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZQEsMDUL9

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbekIfbB9wE

"Then we better start 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSxvdmqFZh
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gf4Y1gDrJ
looking for them will be difficult."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqlUwXsXwR

We all agreed to split 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRxc9KEfXN
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn6bpj1OOJ
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFItHRh6ove
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSpl5vBPVJ

All the studio rooms 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcEFwxug23
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P8ruzwrXE
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxRJDahotc

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnkkkgUmWn

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3lsZhqOGx

"Almost fifteen minutes."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcJGdmrEtG

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnBRC8wZLV

He nodded and pulled out1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriZ0q85AwB
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IdFAjMCDR
walked out of it and came towards us.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlmvIUbCls

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJLS7K6MH

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrD2Cc8boC

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZZHOHe2Ly

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICQ3op4EnD

I looked at the time on my watch. We only had fifteen minutes and Yang Hyun-suk was going to kill us all if we didn't find them.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZAMnI7eco

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwm4XzheZq

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvswCJ8SJFT

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ934N3VUStB

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgzch8v4Ja

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ103bJftL4e

I hadn't said a word 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV3FEBvNer
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYpPtDHJQU
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeHryJXDVr
but worry.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX3tp97CqQ

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGk6Y1m9Ek

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX1GDwycAV

Daesung motioned his 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHZNB3sR78
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxVecjyvYB
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddhWOoYIb7

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeD3cPzbkQ

Taeyang and the music 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCRlH7VU3Z
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYvgKRrevE
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSa8cGt6Rn
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWJJvncaB7
and angry at the same time.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR2xCXty9W

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cLSLwJbr2

I looked over at Daesung1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOWqzs6yhV
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsi0KAHSGc
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReOzaD2ZkM
the play button.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG97AlxtXM

***1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaasdW7YFaJ

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KeUpafwm0

I came crushing back 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3d8YOho9U
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4xb36rMaJ
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvmuCijIi7

I had so many mixed 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPuD49Ddoj
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78avltKYLw
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaJyDRM98P
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwVoLkBcrm
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeqBNhRvFL

I could tell that the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKVaqcTAP1
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEK7kHVhhN
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D1kparHDM
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqHrDXhXae

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpFuJVSkrO

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlcQiJQ14d

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaiH547pcS

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ksT7Eryrr

I folded my arms and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo3gE4zAtI
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHFSSk8sKU
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK0gYrukEe

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLDIzJn7jI

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp1DdbgUrL

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VmqvNDBlq

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgAkSTJmXr

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N6AmYeIaf

I could feel the others 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueuYBXx0kU
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzdIxILgPu
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Imo5pRiy
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DycVUHHhb
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39h6z6nXXh
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYDTMGTNYG

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmYsG5duG9

"Okay." I nodded my head.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4I4pXyQaY

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ou1AnI2p1
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO6tfUtfW4
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOM9O68g8P

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iFqznYR7T

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyHHfNMBWu

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyZpYCJcLq

"Not until I hear what 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl52MVtXAoL
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yB2xhrCBr
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetG1Blww1N
trying to calm down.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitxt1cil2w

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3rQJsQGPz

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUnewHESVY

"So that we could get 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWp31AF8aO
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnATfdYNmi
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBykQMBoIx
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWln5ZN0xj

"I agree with Sam," said1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs47B6ISPN
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡituOKBF7VK
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiIYQeA3sD

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWQx85jv80

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2YqcdNo27

The rest of the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ8RNyHi7e
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUOUAtCWFS
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa0h1lQmiW
playing cards.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bdML9d394

I was leaning my chin on1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnDdigK2sQ
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZNlAgcfM
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGnd0D1F6S
especially to me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEFUMk066b

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy7pZBap4r

I suddenly sat upright 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIhrKXHB9B
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOPymswYnO
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ahe57CEs
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWWkvODEJ4
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4uF4ddRpM

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08biWErgGd

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB0eWbgGm4

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGP1EdfsA2

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxccRuqzscg

"Maybe we can just order1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMClUIp3mp
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUED79R3mJ
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjeJ3rcfhx

"Good idea," said TOP. "Let me tell her right now." He pulled out his phone and just when he was about to call, Lee came in.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOThZtfmn73

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjagOfwQ6Z

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiR7yeKPWn

"I heard that Zoey and 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaNsSYTAIx
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UsyvvrU8s
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiDCpsOFld

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6mPfNinu1

"Then it's a good thing 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MvAbgjTKs
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwe03qvEkb
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDApspdQnau

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuWfGURaUN

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgab9TvMvZ

Everyone soon dropped 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2FWkvoaAy
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgQyjGLaG1
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ysBUV1G3X

I had never eaten pizza 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLefseQQ3jp
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXpGFJX8jZ
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBVfuB6O1W

We were done finishing 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sRlKp7tE8
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9zcEMnUuQ
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXGQT1lOWH

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ5rWG1ZZd

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUs9MX01xV

We were huddled up on 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVdwlzzXgt
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdmIzQOMJD
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIpONSJdo3

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLAjV4TPx7

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomcMXbfFeT

"You lied? About what?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjlcZfG6ux

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mWHD55Stw

"But why?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKEZAWcr8i

"Because, I had no choice. I want to know why GD did this. It's best we know and see how we can move forward."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliNbGjLjjT

I finished my slice of pizza and licked my fingers when Lee asked, "don't you think he just did that to get back at you, Sam?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX323NKjHB

I didn't expect Lee to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsAB7bp0TH
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6yWO8xth0
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ImSLDoxb3

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3cuABmVRJ

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokd3PA5e2P

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgPA3Ui0l7

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxht0iNiqTV

I stood up from the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADYiUSOkmO
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwWMOdxE6w
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRB9OsEb3s
later.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAxm9aGTty

Trying to find the right1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTCXB8LheL
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXwApS8Szu
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEoskkC42m
what for, was the question in mind.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOMDPdrukm

"Aren't you going to 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84Ql3Dwx2m
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtrPyKLokJ
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFVSLhTdi8

"I doubt it," said TOP. "I was here with them when they were writing the lyrics and the two of them looked fine to me."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoaPnWpJps

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq8lkawPST

I looked at Lee and she was looking back at me with a scared look on her face. Using my eyes, I told her not to say a word.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr2phu66ME

Lee went on to look at 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSFQJ8M6y2
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kn0JInrpc
just thought they might be arguing again."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBjr0T7Z1w

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqot9Mkr5y

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09aFaBXciy

"I don't even know what 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM7DIKqDGq
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjL5NiIouk
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi40XpSOc5v

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mnIW1KkHE

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HiZ6VTEa4

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkd5hVD4Wk

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDALoaoLlOA

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuW3wClrkG

It only took five 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGG3GiaPI4
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFW8cts5mU
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxbXs3HVku
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9tzVXzHqO

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFShpgXhYyA

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW73dFrt9X

Still, no one said anything. It looked like no one was ready to throw the dice first. I cleared my throat and looked at Lee.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg2JvT16pY

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIfREku9gU

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTLD6TiQS7

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS8OZsiI2a

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZACFrAro9b

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRpEwOsVRt

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjOdELNqML

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI29nyFTZfv

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5G77mhXOL

I tried to keep my tone down and my anger in check but I was boiling inside. Any minute now, I might just blow my head off.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzGAVLl4wa

I was expecting an answer from G-Dragon but all he did was look at me. I kept on coming closer, my eyes not leaving his.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM48TAfBMgY

"Why did you this?" I asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0MGXK4JlS

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA52z96dtr

"If you didn't like it, you should have just said so and all of us together would have figured something out. Not what you did."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgqfYE5zHH

When I got closer to them, I took out the USB drive from my pocket. I took G-Dragon's right hand and placed it in his open palm.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ztDMwaDF

"The instrumental is in 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sW7UMW5Hp
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO2rUZz7o1
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAWLEt00PG
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByttICUvna
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLESFrk27sD
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX9IjEnyLt
pissed."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOKlARmgs7

"Wait, a minute," said Taeyang as he came up right behind me. "He first has to tell us what's happening between the two of you."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡproxbb64Wy

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1VmBPe1Fa

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh7SJYqKo1

I looked at Zoey and she1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGdYilGVwK
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjGuUKIEel
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUpUcUA2WC
was mad at me for.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc3Z72lUuv

"Now is not the right 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHxQJljnKy
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMmqqOTQgo
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBklPOcSF8
understand.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNytsLye02S

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAuAWVr4UA
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcned1ycgb
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBzmmBLBiu
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLW1uMIfe6

"It's about time you guys got here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned towards Zoey and G-Dragon. "Hope you had a perfect lunch."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpcsxyNimB

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41LOGJf9SV

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh86yyhioT

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnDYvRbKl6

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Iikuoddp

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JCjdrNVV6

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbAyW4IEtJ

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ6HBncmCc

I paused with my mouth 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NEArK3eDX
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCNkEz6YhA
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqUva4c9iw
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDORNMcBuv

I looked at G-Dragon and1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1emFCJqDpI
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MxNs5RELX
face wondering what he was thinking.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdepsdjgkBt

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTFS1OyOnd

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ETe0kAyr

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv2nXlMbWG

I smiled and Seungri 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3sCI7CI0Z
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa9UKMQtDc
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDAMj3JBWp
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni1irw3wkm

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBFjfLK1FR

I smiled a little more. 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQgS9ynYX0
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N778jtdsJ
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOz440ZFAI
were at war again.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqXxmSAhbJ

"But we can't start 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv83m5vBpA
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8EMEutYhA
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbecpY8Ya5

I sat upright and alert.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTsoEbJhS7
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oJypHIIUQ
have to record the track the day after?"1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFFmp8cDNu

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvSr8eMlLC

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dfVUu5sMR

"But why didn't you tell1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCaJWzCxTz
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZxPLB6Qob
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzQ6KnwEek

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75BXGUgyui

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGGYBMT2Aa

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy1Ok9RcK4

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2OiYnaWub

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1KPJQNUig

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoP08GOHvu

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxGlLLaL0d

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfmm1KxSYy

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFirJqJ5hBE

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfc59UHPh8

The two managers and Lee went out of the room first. Just as we were about to walk out, TOP stopped me by holding my hand.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNavD8HG7T

I turned to look at him 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUwjaikcPF
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P2ZIlB6Xw
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmj3zGM0Tm
me like that.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc1Ey61tIJ

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0tOoOBob9

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDdcemYOXj

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL8ZgjSDIb

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinRrScNSEO

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzcqRo2jyR

Zoey and the others left the room and I was the last to walk out. I didn't want to look at G-Dragon, but I did.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8MIZZlR6P

We looked at each other 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLOb2C36lI
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPX8f9gYSN
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzjsOWTtli
Maybe he also felt the same.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalZQsxzVix

But I wouldn't know and I wouldn't like to know what he felt. I walked out of the studio, closing the door behind me.1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41P5bIEhNn

I then realised that I 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JHsBEmqnt
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DzbCWqe7G
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK8sEgJZ1K
another time.
