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 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LiqLTWuNZ
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5pYavg1fN
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3LUOWZHsp
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjOrvgI7uD
bed.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclTMrdxL8d

I scratched my head as I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBFgpBzhW8
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoKvVqcwW7
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKareqSE6H
he found me here.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwuYUeNkeB

I slowly stood up and I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7FB2TmZRZ
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRRjA2bTIe
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIOaY2prDl
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNsoxOI16B

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiHa2P0Z7L

I almost jumped in 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspFa26eYEz
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9BULnu75F
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOJCcsGlEG
obviously reading the news online.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1A6laKRki

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg4m5m9hUP

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVcqybXIEG

"'Don't tire yourself 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8hof65TjC
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOG7GFUE1o
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd1eO50jIv

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCSi51p37D

"Oh, you were listening?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOwSOqEspX

"Ya, you kept on playing1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPUfGSWxmv
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvEDciYiGu
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG2jnz0bvq

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cts5YVCTH

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvtBPpLXV6

"For covering me with a blanket."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkxhBc6FRx

Collins looked at me 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBNxF1P7JI
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqggiC2uKeW
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPSsoQpQ6m

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX9ekygwRZ

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sXOb3woK3

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8cY0wytPk

"Me too."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMj36xopsF

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEhSe9cp8q

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0hBAKVAmh

"Going to take a shower," I said.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhUhPTkm6z

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTGypAqSp9

After I freshened myself1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiBqpcGPog
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuor6Ydntc
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPMDTbeCso
Collins was still on his tablet.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6I2QILMTJ

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2xOKVODTc

"Nope. Just looking at 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHruqVDprz
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD27DsYubFy
coming back late at night with the others."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWe7M1lDCm

"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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OWjbo8UYZ

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YKPxVDsSQ

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowjUgYorWh

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVEUtTQsAm

Collins handed his 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZxylh0HV3
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRA9MQbOnF
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFoCLA5v2y
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK9It8DU7h
having a great time.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNlpg5VBI3

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAZyxLcWtX

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmINOxFpu6v

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVSDW3Ui07

"They should have as 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSdrMZpKoS
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK45Wb5512
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbggjBnjP54

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP2ORTdkSM

"No, it's not about the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG9IaGDez9
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TJXs0p3UN
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnTmj8du7N

I looked at Lee who sat 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEVDKxArE8
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5azkOMkOPZ
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYYEeHXGM4
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjf0dkSN1S

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj5T3YOAgz

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD8Xasno9z

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQMpTyuid7

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfWxCB1VpL

"If I tell you, I'll 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdoFoOinyp
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrEt6K191h
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNDQ1nCoNQ

Collins got up from his 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKsyPTDegx
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D9QFmYaIR
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfVBArbqMa
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbiTkSxWZ3

"What do you know?" I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY3WjNem0r
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG337gyNro1
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW18lVIKyh
detective asking questions to a criminal.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vBxZL9OGP

"I don't know," Lee 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOeC6g1Ixa
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR65SR1ogo
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriOX3SpQR8

I knew something was up 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2kkYnOETn
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhHFNW1vBL
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRb9RYxeuh

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IY6uOkvMC

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDJY3ygkxh

"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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz6k9MHais

"Hey, what's wrong?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzmN6JM1xc

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl3U4jMaU3

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagUxQlvZr2

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yeUU22m60

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD3d0J4gDI

"Well, kind of," I said 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz0SjBs4I2
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl3r8HAvkN
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcMCEAvPR1

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc36vESsGA

"Okay."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCKkmFWrjh

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdGasfyTtQ

Lee, Collins and I soon 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL4bQxMKr7
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCgE5fOBuB
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmGOU6Kde1
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW0hRaGKfx
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYf6Ynw5DM
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmccgoA2M0

I was waiting in th 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzqRQpArzu
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNIiDH65bj
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlPKoGLMGU
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNA3JrlaON
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhPd4sYvFN

I was pacing up and down1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzv9DKgwpr
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDkGXFop0e
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqYkjFwpRl
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA66cWhWRo
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjhTLbxTYO
and I was so nervous.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyI7Vx6Mgg

"Here she is," said Lee,1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyHMzzdQDn
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyq713nqZ3
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnVvtmbzrT
you, Tae."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cC6kPxYvV

I frowned at Lee and I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZQJmZshIM
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrjpZqJ3Nu
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53JeI9tgpZ
friend.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VmcMQ5FjK

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyrnz37nkT

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v8jCkImV0

"I told Taeyang that I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOJLc9ZCJV
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5OiDgi1xr
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqoc1Cl6uN

"Our manager called me 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhlNZv7nie
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCqxXB3pav
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPLvRvrWfT
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecCNWEgQX9

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlGQpqccKH

"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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCWZUGN0Sk

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OtKMfBjpy

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIaUFwzYWm

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WRLNAAUMx

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMK8TqeJgP

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAoWsUebu9

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUIX2PM4NF

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4wJNs2jQv

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadaIJJStpq

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLysO0IGu0h

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZB1BT03bK

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvy1yH3iB4

"Sure."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygU3Qz6KOa

I gave Taeyang my 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMkxWSFQe9
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi35JUjd25n
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3bVMvCJKY
cute together.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HLD87jSui

"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."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VmVY6QaD5

"Thanks. I was singing 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C2mtz41Wh
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TQ3i6QnNo
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfzgfrpBP1
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRQK4g1hhU

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EvGiBvZJk

"Well...not really," I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LoO0irBQi
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacy8y1U73e
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOePTTSNcEM

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbCrSL1clB

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65SFjNWvE4

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UAiDlLc27

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWhnEEQ540

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF85HJYujv2

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWCdq8jKV7

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgt6pJ7kHp

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14hhq4d0dv

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkBUlV66lG

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ewHPe3FVa

"Right now."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ4Lo6y3bi

We all turned towards 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qi0jVdbXQ
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHukhVPLuc7
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyoWknDDxa

When everyone got 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuWzWMBmNg
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJnnLlN73Q
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByCY6Szal0
run out of the room.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU4q2mLo0V

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQaJS8Aqf2

I nodded my head and my 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdUysgGDFV
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EqB4VpCTu
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BrGhinMOw
ever got to play it.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEMJQXGrIM

I felt a break of sweat 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0KbgNq8i7
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMuNa54sus
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7dtLX0fDZ
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGSQym99Qv
strung the strings on the guitar.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iLw0yQs69

I started to sing as I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeIjDfKnKN
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN9ts2UDnc
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmWb2i8pHV
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL91W3JGfA
didn't. Well, I hope so.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN6jBdZBD8

As soon as I was done 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9ZKcKHeK7
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4n1yvpPtB
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa89uVgeQiX
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijdItd6RTe
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2GBJubJgD
hoped they liked it.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAvHjqSXb4

The studio was still 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWard0Nf13
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPgoVLRQMF
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tvMSyu9I5
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ghUgFRpm

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwYOyUkTNE
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxY18lSjR3
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMmZmt8E9h

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwGmfA7l9N

This was it. The hammer 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CbzO8foGt
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y1PlXBehp
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaXn9H0SSi

"....incredible."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpAj45lnJX

I opened my eyes and I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42utbhwwjs
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeCpLCjGBx
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ2BPmdsb9
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaWtfoUzTz
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog9yx26kaj

"I've to admit, when 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIym5anMvU
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xBgMNQWuw
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWJrZtQbqs

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P0buNN2RM

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSse7OXPO2

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2vx8cOOkn

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxmd8yr16k

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUczKdVXSuJ

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YWtZRAJlC

I couldn't stop smiling 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xQPS53NVN
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCptOglTUY
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKGYpDX0mg
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pxAyzONwX
good voice and a golden one.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjiIuLPnTc

Immediately our managers1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59IjsDniZy
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xS1Yx5liD
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4upkVeomf
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa69oU4lFiN
musical instruments.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzKZMmz2IK

This was always the hard1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y8PSnIGkU
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeXD4H1DJ9
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw6CXTjU4B
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcFVVkcKvc
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9slUYA9Arv

An hour had passed and I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf9lNxgjH5
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoFQf6ezLq
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLA5jSyNB6
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1bgBfTmdF
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcCy0KYSXG
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2xteGN65t

"It's been an hour and I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y8DAVufV3
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJtfUXUvya
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jPKYpZ98y

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11jNuk2LiA

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukMN90tB9N

"Trust me, you're so 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13e5eNtbEZ
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcuwflICZH
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0KwGupC6b

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5NHhNxAA0

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3vRBLRMpt

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTqVNK2g7Y

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpQlqymahb

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbX9pxP4C1

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f8NphSwY0

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT3F2f20w4

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcwaUHhvII
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lBjTNzeY7
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPs6YZWcAZ
masseur."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SvEMKwfqx

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaOK3Kwrxg

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkTFnDyHZE

The music producer soon 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdtPYGBn01
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxkXLXY4zD
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPQO7Xmwfv
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLxMyUWvqd
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPn0PKuWVu
recording the track.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RqG4LZ8Wq

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ubkxTr1xv

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDD7tB8c4F

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu5LG1zNgC

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fwjjjd5Zs

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMdtNLUYde

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBYtXee6ah

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MccfmT3f6
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHeFntYWM2
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTbyFZLgHg

"Let me guess, you're 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZV9MaySzT
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX2O9pPq2L
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF6lnO8Nbs

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4BGdeFTFX

Something told me his 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszHk4uszN8
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ukgfEVw0
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJWr3Df2et
always does.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ZWFwgN59

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UchZnPX20

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjzrDYJ5aA

It was late in the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2xh8xPlgS
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oOQX4cN4w
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JD3W7R0dV
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPHuKUSUgP
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBj9rAA3av

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvY9SOrXdg

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjfQnjMR0N

I looked beside him and I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFylGbQu2gF
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSSGEi9DGl
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9lCyNlklv
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdGzQL9o4u
leaning my head on the console.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWALdXGKd9

"I always hate this part1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRqxb4WNIs
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYSeLJ4vOj
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUhqWSwwtJ
console.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad8HWP4lSw

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs9trY9bW0

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ579kUFn7j5

"I wonder what time."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghZjycEIHQ

"Wait." I pushed my head1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12cw8kQWjv
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiBlM8nYKY
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb7Zw7ensf
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVxBh7b47u

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl90541JdAP

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibkZYP1grE

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5rYTVuf9R

"I didn't sleep well 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZZhUFuEDs
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssJbmIIvs9
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCUPO8W3vQ

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigTKr4s9Gy

"You're right." I soon 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ41ghM55M0
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIybJLh0Pzp
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCEgP3Juhg

"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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBdpOY5q99

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApjNHqbYIh

"Alright. Thanks."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXPQOrcBnP

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2hC3ULRcQ

"And so will I," said Seungri.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU5Ua64rTB

"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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g9yz8F2Nj

Immediately I left the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5qNL27UuV
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtuIKQGl4y
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i0QgURls9

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGqLdOVeO5

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8izVVisfi

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFvWpwMEka

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt4rYRXxuE
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xoj8yVUDj
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6rOKuQt5E

The next thing I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2iZDitVbP
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC6v0ynHgW
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkFRhCHr5t
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXBfF5ck3f

I woke up by the sound 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLYFQhXO4D
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kI4ykqCdd
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKWmMkAx3z
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNkyxBujiu
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk5XH2OfV0

I reached out for the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEKeTPvMb9
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbce77K50lg
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE6umLexwn
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfk1yScEqs

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhavMXk9zTx

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpw8cClrtc

"I could hear it ringing1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaXnZshOz3
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70CjdWTYNZ
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ucOEUppln

"Thanks," I said as I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9oAvzgopE
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRSYdaIFbe
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VXzbdK4ci

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Wil8iC3i

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI6AJNyw2j

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjEjfDahcx

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIwYiKdakJ

Lee left the room and I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTEjr3A7qe
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BLYHqo21e
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvjzMA4kTQ

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelgQp4Dn8M

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zeK4mwsrD

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41WkPHnVNX

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEUWvGTOv4

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHgRDp4jfa

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqWzaBCTBd

I dashed over to the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt62HlaZmZ
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IDOmpklC7
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb75FtEOQtN

It was now 10 PM and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP4T3lMOLs
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPmNjwp8nl
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9430kfJbI
they were right now.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWg4KdhGaf

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL3YBUKimE

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaAvL22Cgp

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL1twOrCe4

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEII2aNdMWB

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWhsCjFIS0

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNCNXMIYTV

"True."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyJJqFArQj

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv9HTBygdq

Two bell boys came out 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxZghG4H1J
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgGIQHbfs0
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovRBYKI7Ac

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenMbh0PqtJ

There were so many gift 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BMKzf1HAq
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YuqW8J2Vk
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmAMah4gMh
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNxLeQk8he
so pissed.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmgvAdpNUZ

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn4e3xOuUj

"They are downstairs," he answered.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXae05E3y1U

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEevUHyknJH

When the doors flew 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY7hpbhM5k
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlxERHzShZ
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lSxmAlbqS
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAGLexvGUH

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgIvVlvxfP

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUOVB3qN0G

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyoRJvy4fh

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hEGv5H8iy

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUDyirzuvn

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwJBL4tJQW

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRmiRKLS8g

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXuCvVihWC

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhi04UJF1v

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lLkXeEKPU

I raised an eyebrow. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDflK8LAFz
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7lX8JHSMg
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lTFe4RQCC

"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?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT6UI2byJQ

"Everyone just missed 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITR0u4NN8V
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOWdTWeFB0
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUBeHsVafq

I rolled my eyes at him,1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUZcd3OrxZ
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttAKKaSfkg
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj7h3jQucd
face when I hugged him.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOgDSe9Hfi

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd4xTrd9q7

"Wait! You missed TOP 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovStLKYtlu
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTcYV0R7ip
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXM5KsTduX

I always loved it when 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZUO2ZcyHU
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdCGNMqKiu
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLNXf6A6gE

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjdEZLNEME

For a moment, that voice1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYSc2CQ0xo
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAkYzdc2YG
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPogUdBkAQ
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxMWWHGwFF
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO02QX5a5GO
he was still acting the same way he had left.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEhLA7JFw9

I was really confused. I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHeLzimYdH
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheqJ8GF1D1
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJJ3EiqGbf
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixyGA51MJO
personal and it had to do with me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Oy43TRRqw

I had no other choice 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqcWpmoGeh
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHFfZgD8RF
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEF8ygJoZW
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL5ULfasPh

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UVJqVyKGw

By the look on his face,1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJbUL1On4F
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxeGzaTsJz
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf7Opz6KIe
going to end pretty tonight.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUNHsincG0

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg05L7XAFva

"Ya, I did."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoJetgxWsH

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkHLCnohDh

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO8vOR7dNX

"Can't wait to hear it,"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEFKfHp9qL
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVQB6qeSN5
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYQQ6HPRj0

"Anything for you, 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVI7FoGHHP
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4QdutUUf4
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPTxqM1EX9
look at Zoey.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfDjLHCeZ3

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzwBhylWEa

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFA4TrhiWO

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTfR4ajG3R

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmxgjV66SA

"You know Collins is 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnimAUSbPb
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ti3w3h4iv
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYLXfW4i01
floor.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF2ZijcWJz

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLIn6Kp4Cs

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4aBnfT9vB

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjHzU4oTqf

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHLOoil6OO

"We better sort out all 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU2s5L72C1
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IqRPg0Af7
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qO4S65Kwm
floor.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9wYUXXL7a

Sorting out all the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtVyWbly3u
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LH6qxSu80
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP77RgiiyuB
had really bought a lot of stuff.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCwuXXsysC

The boys had brought a 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIz1xkObm0
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIWpn9Q2un
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxL6SkVhoB
expensive designer shoes.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwcbwddbMB

As for Zoey and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4SOjXrkVn
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskRTbBBB8R
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lEBwfeg9w
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ3lYaAeUx

"G-Dragon was helping me1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2WnwP04xx
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J4JW1HD63
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzBwLlw8tT

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGlq1vKDED

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE3FATK9G6

We were sitting on the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAp6zCEMbK
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40D2pigOzx
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fFTei2qWY
stuff with Collins' too.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A47d6MO7A

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTkAv77YRI

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxKcxLk99z

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40WtGT2m1j

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaPrx7iQRW

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fdGUdJ1qq

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGGhy8AWg7

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GDfwYerRX

I distributed the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNSZizbT47
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMfRhuwdua
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4ELKQ5eFX
was meant for me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o1IOBfVfg

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhDE1Xe8Ki

"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."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPI4Ns2E3x

"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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lbtA10yyt

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzBQStTWeB

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjbxXhfwL7

For a moment, time 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpOMHRPvyH
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStc83T32d8
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEstTGpnJwf
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykhtLEgMl0
mess.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfy9jp45Ij

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZZBQdH0va

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkPyhB7wq2

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrBSEsFqhO

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMZbQdoylU

For me, it kind of felt 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TFMYFnK6j
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fngqJia2i
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC2MZKs3gy
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjJZc2Y7W0

When Collins came to the1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiECJ3Wusf
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwYtSJlAFz
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKUKeYOOXy
he just couldn't.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfgDcnbGdK

"Hey, Collins," I said.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgEd1yyMTI

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r4lqygNdE

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7vKSZVL5x

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmbJVshqLv

"Thanks."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD0FAiXvSp

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq5unRw5jQ

"Who?" I asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYQ2GvRkog

"You know who I'm talking about."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpROTS99qWk

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnLeO00WbV

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCpNrHqfFN

Collins went over to the1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ou58hESHx
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfmMMLPW0v
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Fu87XiLP
up at him.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALNP2EqieD

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dwEZ1Wa0k

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhG7PaabLg

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQPPxI6lfv

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYDvCt5WG6

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7OCVOvj1j

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJcbUl6nEi

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPghmFXYea

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKtTUkAdO2

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CbpFHOuwd

"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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewm7aPC6zM

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIVya1Gbr6

"Here, we brought you an1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARJJGsUyrZ
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17NJD9XuXe
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspYSzAJu8X

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzIyhuQZDW

"Thanks," said Collins, 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAidsN1Oxl
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5htT0CySYb
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDM9e6cYlK

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokvRyPmtaB

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3PLgEmewj

Lee was right. Collins 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe1HPk2krj
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWbT801QUz
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifEyJHUJda
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILqJXIbA9F
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTEK4NvL5W
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uFKwXgplK

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgu7Lplc9x

We continued sorting out1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOJzjjJFsW
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFgvBeWyZX
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNXsmf1fFb
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP3aBk8q9x
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdKd7PQO1i
already too late and we all needed to rest.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjSyGeILjK

We hadn't managed to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaLH5YVDGD
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Z5KRCHUm
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVerzwuDov
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGcjFa4JXJ
course.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ymazjs6B

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzayrY5Pq65

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXfQTWBb3x

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAhYG90Do2

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuY7Yo9AQ4

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl2V7rH78U

I looked at her with an 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii8N6KNHOV
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIIUyM9Jfi
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU4T1EGj0Y

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2Rhd10Jsd

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvKwtRrGbN

"Fine?" I looked at 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKvUzmVcbw
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZamSPeHeSV
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7po0N9Ous
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVigbhJGl9

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXDJ8ynkrS

"Tell me, please!" I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V7QdxUymq
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl6lo7kUJc
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwwGE2pEhB
tell me something. So tell me!"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vu7gYy4pE

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTsp7oPXL2

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow6k8THbY9

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDq3ecBIaq

"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."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWDgdEC8Sn

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUSvOITGfw

I felt really excited 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILcQIJejZf
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGcQCErjuc
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT0znkWkd8

"I don't know how I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDv430nEgw
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5xD0gD6WD
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLzW9xBS7C
Tower."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDb2Ak7QkB

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPqWEH81fG
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TDyTDkyj5
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy46YaePQC

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZJAVPi0jC

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB8dchwzaP

"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."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPGPboOVjt

"What?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfoCcdx4Fs

"When we got to the top 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ912Iyckb5b
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLI0WQzcUS
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswKvNpE7ak
others had left and it was just GD and I."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3dRNo2Jyx

My eyes grew wide. I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf1O88TZnz
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2xVvJDZYI
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBtvhkD5ES

"You two kissed."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uLdgo4ypr

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXftS3T4Gky

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJEXevv7It

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbENzfChdnF

"Well, you were in one 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCfS0koHAU
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG7S2vdmLV
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRaaRIDBIE

"Smart."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt3BfBuImk

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRbYX4yTKv

Zoey smiled like a fool,1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPihdSytQ8X
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtGSymN04c
it was so magical at the same time."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlns4pPddI

I couldn't help but 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36JNKnSszG
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04IZpjDGsA
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWyFc8LNXU
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JlDWqV2kC
everyone at the prom.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFrnwacSWn

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRt3TGdooT

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTKIvhrgwt

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HajHHYk9V

"And? Anything else? 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEP8ZS6Wwl
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXULO53jn2H
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva2lJL44u9

"When we were on top of 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzOuIK6mhz
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjMzbLNYtL
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56GDT44BVB

Well that's a bummer. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gkm2Tenpn
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IH2SJNTew
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gNZ5DzJli
really liked Zoey and not me?1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBp4tLv1jH

I brushed that off. Why 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d9ZvPENCk
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyFRAaew5O
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZzbvOwSrF
hopes up with it.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHs9LqkYrK

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSJueZgzFQ

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW71vECoz7

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiqNVmzo7s

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOjDNihFJz

"Thanks, Sam."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd5DNaXMLF

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSLoRlB9SC

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOPeOlQCDk

I left Mr Panda on the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqC0HZF13r
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNayWC34G1C
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7m4sbgPok
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NB9NMFu9v
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCtQkiKlWV

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzZ1M4pmX4

"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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvBDHSjK1G

I laid my head on the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5iCCg5NjH
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGKHhpgDcc
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZZcc7j6za
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW0JwRYSrd
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVDO92tptz
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJvYeUXDtI
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnePKe593n1
have been.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbzoYWBdO7

Zoey would have only 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUVeBBK7ox
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerWq5BsNiO
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN1Kaey3bp
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i2KKRZUFO

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTMRiHG1xM

I pulled Mr Panda closer1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwJUmRVI1U
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVVd9FbHW2
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm51cNWVXz

***1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xZDANZsot

I was given a round of 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qftWbRM9b
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe4kLak06A
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc20IE5TpNw
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvowgcjVGx1

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bq0jgDQpM

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY3JBldbev

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAsessEmEe

"Then you better eat 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeMJyihcXd
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqikgU6cfa
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpCmksVbAS

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNXJr1MReu

"I can't wait for us to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsMuXKMDDK
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ZJXbHhhe
beside me. I could only tell why.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeHKU3ZnDD

Christine who sat 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUiXlOXAbX
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh2ZzWxE4p
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKabiMsbiEc
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsUKBkk6SU
and G-Dragon.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39wOvYOPZg

When we were done 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJNuWG9x1s
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hqGpCsYJf
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPymPErfwl7

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8045OFn3kg

"What is it, Zoey?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKNvb3HwCa

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkCFZnqPRf

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtH4SoD2Dv

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PRka4M5VN

"That's the problem," 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJkqC4kWYi
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh0h2MarUP
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqudzlp9SLy
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKZCaw9GTQ

Mike turned away and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwznFw0ZQvm
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQtB3OYu69
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wUD2JysJI
something?1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9neizC8x2x

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ7XR9TFlT

We agreed with Christine1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDNXBu3lkR
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrszmKWoaYb
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmHyj1pG5Y
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFykZkzm4E

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhU6f30f38

"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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7ZFJl320l

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFbY7VEC0k

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tsuGMwD4T

"I also feel like I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFz4m0bkGw
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRUX7VWIqn
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3OiqLq5MS
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAhNA03TZQ

"Do you think we should 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQBhwJfc00
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFyTKZwn4A
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZYRgJRXfB

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ThxrBIkAq

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ212bjyQfhd

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIJfA3xY95

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH8cj792Gb

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaJLLDBtEZ

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuaXTzdC49

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1YNM2Tk0T

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQVw9BCCKm

I stood up from the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVmuMRXUbF
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyWsNsSJal
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4qyTNrQeU
conversation.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkZ0ucCGGM

When I went back, I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyALhNjMDM
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa2EoQtMgo
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAveKEy7VbM
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjvuoV0dKm

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGTChJszxe

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwEf1ZS40k

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFm1ig3W3d

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEBD3OdXB4

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGB3yOTykX

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jvdAToT9C

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWbvMCEOpi

G-Dragon gave me a weird1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFORFHXzYP
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPBd2Jvxuu
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOOXYSwv9w
took their place on the couch.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehKanRphhQ

"Christine and Daesung, I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSuyPcYFGX
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRnh7D10mZ
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu5eZhK3y4

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUtv7RsBxc

"Ya, we will sing the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9GhgY8ipj
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKxGc0oh7B
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmvQRp72vN
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8bSGn4Srd
producer has the lyrics printed out."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgNkQZ2Xs8

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYluDWMRGrU

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ujIB56lV

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWvfRRpEmG

Then we all went over 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HGwYjoJYB
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYy9cRidTa
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA13Fu4bIsN

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAovaHqIv3

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1t74i7wNI

"Me too," said TOP.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqkp1XxJC2

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC0Tmn5OkR

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgxzfIbPhJ

I didn't look up at him 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvmOwuOPll
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP8LK3NWj8
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8znwuGZF6I
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMXJmKmss2

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWsLDwYMIn

I started to relax my 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfitWNz6Cf
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7LOFPgBid
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t0zghezpN

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbw5ya0kH5

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwbIEkgYPQ

G-Dragon came to sit 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WyA2absLJ
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE43vL5ftUu
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBdiy11a58
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMSOxp7hg5
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5do68xYkDr

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUSfEELojp

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHzAEeJ6KK

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ZHxMBwWW

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGSC4GaB4K

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8ZSnhF27I

"Really?" the music producer asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdJ1n91DyN

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05NnHg9vCF

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvZa8S3R6x

"Give him a chance, 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliBpt20HhD
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZugKwY6EI
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1v2VdhCD5
headphones and put them on.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b6Oh6TdUN

"Okay, this is 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UHFTkUpIE
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSOzbAjMSk
join them and see what needs some changing."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJps9mCu5el

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhkA7by8lb

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo59fIAvYb

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSAPYLrcfa

The others looked at me 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yigq0ZMpT
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4484JAENsI
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9lgL3xOpt

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrL30s6IFW

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkjJWKEgwq

"That's going to be a 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPcsr12PW3
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLJxLDraTz
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FhNDMPp7t

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv5Dv9XAAM

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfqqsNuaL1

"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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJmVRAhoc1

I looked over at Zoey 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4vGPRlqSH
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7H80GLcTc
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7eEErG8e6

I put a stool in front 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBdShaBUcN
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Rr9VMfEK
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjjXslDLYJ
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix7Pk11V9u
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o8ZTNIizu
others.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiFO8wfBci

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nQaDHuB2y

Taeyang and I sung the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsgkx80UgW
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewHXCbhOOl
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspInVx4nYm
great and everyone cheered.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvZHrJU32H

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSwfL7q3e7

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTBpjwzrAz

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBON5QFaJMx

TOP started to rap the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLOcqT2XDI
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5aTZQubck
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOsbhSxoDN
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgSnVf9ihC

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmMv4YOd8G

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ax1Jt99N

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiOHwdERt1

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffx0clidLg

Daniel and Seungri sung 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4MZsg8sFS
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n2LdnQqUJ
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VdpxyxUIQ
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55mUmIe1gH
clapped for themselves and cheered.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OHWUExvvl

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ffG61AYSR

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROJax7KGXE

I almost fell off the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8bceyzR1g
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfeWniHDx8
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31GmFIMz9K
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWX1ABVFRH

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtpAeNYNSV

"I have to say, you all 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv0IljyDAi
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5p7CDAffX
smile. "Keep up the good work."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VQL9wFVIL

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobBu4lEgjW

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc4gVDrvug

No one said anything. We1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wHJ1aSEFy
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFKxTnCYD2
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR66dUdY4I
talking.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLuhBCVTNf

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK30hWa5O7B

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSwBaTyvIM

That, I couldn't answer.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0VNKHgbJr
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgQYeZ823i
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySNG2ZpFcQ

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISZQb4ozFP

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjMMoWTezq

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxkusX1kLx

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl1HmWi4lc

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyte3sdRtnM

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBPexlySix

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JJrqkmIMJ

"I want them back here 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdtTauOqiD
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu74DzkS7Wo
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuUqP6qGlI

I gulped as I felt the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMcW9E3opW
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgLlW5HkkV
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnMlx82C0v
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6DdeZevJB

No one said anything 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5co83qCufk
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ue0EJlOXF
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQHrjyv7Vp

"Where could they have 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPr1vp32G6
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OwKgyjrka
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7XmbaFE4G

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzexYAEtncL

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MBzsLc6jM

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lGbRgjxA8

"Then we better start 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1qXlJRBNn
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBDf6L0Fzg
looking for them will be difficult."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnyIeUpX1v

We all agreed to split 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhprYDqnfes
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZppuDudjq0
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhAonr8PhU
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw2Nrp8G79

All the studio rooms 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32oSIJUJbE
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcovOvyknZW
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC2yHmfE3H

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgaMrcQlQq

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlZjRBu2hy

"Almost fifteen minutes."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyLlzpPatj

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhojKsmJ09

He nodded and pulled out1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V9L4laOPN
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOebde62ukJ
walked out of it and came towards us.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh57bt4eA7

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd1JOBOyPo

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOAbZkmQyE

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebEqHxNxhV

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqOjQQ6orA

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYstMBJFgV

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zpCudMwYj

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX2gd98m7g

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcaGc9fYRw

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZnFiwuci9

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIjHt98evB

I hadn't said a word 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE08LVTe0DR
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4HStgIkmV
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXLQ4TSy1U
but worry.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv3UHY7SLv

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45h400cMad

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iih6kFN8M

Daesung motioned his 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSy9HGtf2Z
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FeoA858cU
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BpoGhBQYi

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUPGHId5FA

Taeyang and the music 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5kHcBcgHK
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5643gLxieo
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ947ScJTlKn
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgTOsq5I0H
and angry at the same time.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmbNzQnGLh

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMPsJzz0MC

I looked over at Daesung1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHWFiY2UIg
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHgh43wx4y
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR4UCsUd6b
the play button.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe7RApfcRE

***1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5UNiaLqfR

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoWOQaA3sI

I came crushing back 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJE3o366v1
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3evQGM5Kq
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygN3Exwt1c

I had so many mixed 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRZOgB4zYQ
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UgQXNRGAL
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3BliF2Ygf
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheoI07sGAf
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESxcf48JDy

I could tell that the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P7WVnQAn1
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4hji8ID14
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSUJrdF2xy
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQObmqQIRL8

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVcwTGxjSv

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa4FysO0Tn

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOfc1dUDZL

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte8GEQwIYZ

I folded my arms and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVSORSTrCz
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFdxiR6P6d
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KvwuMg6SR

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp16O9ZKAVn

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM30txWrnSw

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpa85d7Tql

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hNcCCsujl

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXBTLyMn4B

I could feel the others 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvRTWFDZl9
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNjTub1YuL
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhjAOJIhWS
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2V7aoIXni
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwjStQjx3z
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdGpM1EiY5

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdSOR6P3sO

"Okay." I nodded my head.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBKoWHcbMb

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJzHv4Kxpi
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN3oHa84E8
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd5hUz8YJN

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQYwnPC4eL

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthAwIuF3B7

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i7TIEzPid

"Not until I hear what 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARsjMFVXOV
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM0o1Wdm9N
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXNNY5WnUk
trying to calm down.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt0xeAgmZd

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWRkwMbPqc

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0LPWmrAq1

"So that we could get 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kAKAD3kbI
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo407UXNnQI
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mPyEgBxLY
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5v1BfFIF1

"I agree with Sam," said1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo6BzLHnQA
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnWMNiUur2
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTliWTkdUcS

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R2T1xfy2R

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGYECtZLTn

The rest of the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGNNbJTve6
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQptoIS46zI
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVE7p0CLNF
playing cards.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLtxSghNz6

I was leaning my chin on1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpxonI1zAJ
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVra0XlEdeF
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc3JRJ8ftw
especially to me.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyXqVgRDuH

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQRQlke0YB

I suddenly sat upright 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNBH4yIVAh
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2igJpp8BO
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolEPKsPGNn
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0cgvcJWcU
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZSt78Luiv

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6oiT0HJpM

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMeQcZSOHJ

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1450FhqIUL

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJjzvK9C2T

"Maybe we can just order1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMOlLA73qH
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gZZaWcCh1
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaXgx4Pjhk

"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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLIfQ1GPJa

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS8TTwVQvT

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnvrt1SPkG

"I heard that Zoey and 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvFgIkQWDy
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfv664vUJ8
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbePkZMjVR1

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSN6tGWasv

"Then it's a good thing 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8Epr4fLcD
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu8XaF8HAB
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu9zYw0XRh

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTN9eDP57g

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yh8JIXhnj

Everyone soon dropped 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyYsgpM4F0
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYWPmEH8Gv
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUEjajcsEa

I had never eaten pizza 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmaNH9y0Zz
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK0acDcApS
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzRdv5Juqz

We were done finishing 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodv3DSc4NO
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgopHLqzp8
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bPc0HIMe3

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtM36ATyX3

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IN7fypWYk

We were huddled up on 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1IiOyLbMl
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy47ueYrATK
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbAElUpJ6E

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0MCbM3rQj

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22HEkZhcPW

"You lied? About what?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoTDnOpPwC

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IyIHgBjcG

"But why?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4oQNuuaK4

"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."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkKwSFseKh

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?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG89PNw2Pjz

I didn't expect Lee to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOrcX798P9
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFJ0Qc81Yp
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaUiFDT7rX

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhen56CsL3W

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfAZhfJQWO

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpzJrHGgdZ

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac89zGEfi9

I stood up from the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLGgPkunGi
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42wZlEdMJT
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyvFfXlnVz
later.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDd1KuLc1p

Trying to find the right1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroqAtJWRfG
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaHo4pVa9A
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zaxJoIgxz
what for, was the question in mind.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHbb6hyPeO

"Aren't you going to 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmar1Gz3zq
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sdEgnkNFM
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQffUQzETgo

"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."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzr4w1L5dr

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rAsA5UEEw

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HoHtNdQ3U

Lee went on to look at 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk78Bs9uOrU
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8w6c6fzlo
just thought they might be arguing again."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Atqzqyov1

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWjilFfXru

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq9tIz0Rqb

"I don't even know what 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH9LTB1oWY
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqDaPLcCWn
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhVZ619zlw

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DSlyEZPlT

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWqfpVvcKw

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmVuc6Q7L6

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85AFmI8dkM

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz20O8v0QDm

It only took five 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyygyNiqpVd
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaCX5WUUyn
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco7Q9xUoF6
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7AQAWsU0n

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEXR5lcKAG

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0p4mdpBpM

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfdaeIHfiq

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxkPxFP5k0

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUBIvdoNEE

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FajibGZP9

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOeSOxIIwC

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqg14TIZ6m

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQDVBV1m3

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkdMNiwQNe

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N3U2DSPNh

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt7bBcKABb

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaidDoJo6pd

"Why did you this?" I asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQlVgWrODe

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qwRAij6YO

"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."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3ysYUMdjP

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xXBwvvR3N

"The instrumental is in 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDesXElBNL
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLX3lVMPU6
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bBxXE700e
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwmdZzqn6H
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2cHUcQY5e
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3LxPlcgSs
pissed."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDrmyTYayl

"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."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKHiSXCfCP

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nXfsifbCd

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04CYik3TOp

I looked at Zoey and she1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLhHWFRfE5
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhZQPJUFnR
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq2kdApBcZ
was mad at me for.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnI0fmb7ZH

"Now is not the right 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBouhKWvtCg
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYI3RvQW3N
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmxmA7HK4w
understand.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwavJhU1MfV

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6BV0k5OAX
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqgbpyVsxM
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR6ShMbEKG
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeyUpi7xD0

"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."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww5LYskdVc

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxMDUnjfvt

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxzeGfvRve

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtdoafCfoO

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKuJwUlsSN

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRsnoE0Mae

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnIGPGzDJH

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMIozCSw1o

I paused with my mouth 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMGACuKXmA
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiouuMAPchN
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tUR3sH82M
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfdDWtDOo3

I looked at G-Dragon and1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVPwSqLo1O
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptXgKO0D6N
face wondering what he was thinking.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3nokoWZN9

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mrhx4mbuf

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKqJGKmKd1

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1BVDBlKjX

I smiled and Seungri 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMkBArOz6v
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9enBNAZtYt
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYZL1xToet
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4EwPSvIWN

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgQ5cV8sF4

I smiled a little more. 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiDllnvTNN
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeMtpIGpeL
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQoUdgBUnZ
were at war again.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJvxlkpWSh

"But we can't start 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp24vv4TdHU
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcL0uXRNa1
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE7h5EU638

I sat upright and alert.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡierweqUHJA
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzrlS0Fl13
have to record the track the day after?"1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI993tgtHf

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTkbRO7cdt

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0G8S8jllD

"But why didn't you tell1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCKzyrym80
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Orecy2jk
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3XVqjEX5y

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyJbFD9TAp

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzhHz6ngV9

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OSDgfYTUW

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8oFZvW17Q

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3dfXrhgeF

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iewsa8PmG

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW4O8fFQ8V

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKngaHUKDt

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5buewxsyn

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRohuzQtP8X

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFxFQKT2Bj

I turned to look at him 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuCJFILoF0
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8jAdQ5kSx
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlqTvPOA2y
me like that.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIgxPnZICj

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmyBd1msaF

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyEUqqB8Jn

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIpAPogBsT

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3ubwNV7On

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLusI7LLcT

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvehlhki821

We looked at each other 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EK8W2jnaD
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBnRfD4X6Y
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK7rzbnBrL
Maybe he also felt the same.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRG2voa296

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.1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmAqZ7s41C

I then realised that I 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt5bDD1lth
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv8cGMPpFf
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqZ5tpv7iF
another time.
