I couldn't keep my mouth closed, and my eyes were filled with wonder as I looked out the window. The car we were in drove through the streets of Seoul with the sun beginning to set in the west and the street lights starting to brighten the streets. The city is just as beautiful as I imagined it. The beautiful skyscrapers, bright TV bulletins, and neon lights almost felt like home in L.A. or New York. But the signs and words on billboards made it quite clear that we're in South Korea now.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbctykYkLuH
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyFhNVYxIa
"Wow, this place looks awesome," said Daniel, who sat beside me and was also looking out of the window.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheiVDxWfTo
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HWjUM7Dgq
"I know, right? It's like a dream come true that we're here," said Christine, who sat behind me.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDp5XcGFMG
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTiLvQY05V
"OMG, is that an ancient palace?" I asked when I saw what looked like one from afar. Before coming here, I made sure to Google some wonderful sites I would like to visit. I had a huge interest in ancient palaces.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilU5ZWy4E4

"It is," said Collins. "Beautiful, isn't it?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyvSO9nV8o
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpGFMc3byl
"It sure is," I said with a smile as we quickly lost sight of it.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ830ygmads
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwU9APjCTO
We continued to follow the car ahead and soon found ourselves at a beautiful hotel: the Seoul Hotel. Before we could get out of the car, bright, flashing lights came into view through the windows. The paparazzi. It looks like news travels fast around here too. These people always made me feel uncomfortable.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ4XeF6Dlu
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkpMHokTiT
When the doors of the car flew open, Collins and Lee stepped out first. Mike, Zoey, and Christine excitedly followed. If there's one thing they like about being famous, it's the bright lights and attention. Even though we've been in the spotlight for almost two years, I'm still not used to it, especially dealing with the paparazzi and reporters. The attention I get from my fans is more than enough.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD4az6Ihpc
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcMhwEvM4p
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Daniel asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaAPpaiyfQ
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8xpKwJleQ
"Yeah, I am," I said, trying to pull myself together.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ituf4OrID
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ajakkcer
"I know you've never liked this, but The Toxins aren't The Toxins without you," he said, giving me an encouraging smile.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOYN25JgvS
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0xlH9ZDoT
"It's going to take years for me to get over this."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMJIe4eQeQ

"Yeah, I know. Come on, we have to go."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlchyHPuMVr
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCvFQZqlXU
Daniel got out of the car, leaving me all alone. I take a deep breath, getting myself ready to step out. Before I could even get the chance, a hand appeared before me. G-Dragon is standing outside the car with his hand stretched out for me to hold on to. For the moment, I can't stop staring at him. I looked at his hand, then back. I don't know what to do, and I couldn't help but blush.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvHZmor335
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ25BqZTffr
"Come on, we're all waiting for you," he said with a smile. "Take my hand."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxSmL9XzJ0
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWoayymUpz
I continued to look at him, contemplating what to do next. I finally took his hand, and he delicately held mine, slowly leading me out of the car.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0huachNDp
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENvog7FgCl
The flashing lights of the cameras turned on me immediately after I put my foot out. When I fully stepped out, G-Dragon stood beside me with his hand still wrapped around mine. The cameramen and reporters were calling out to me to grab my attention. This is the part where I always try to get over my irritation and smile.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeXuEkt16Y
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFga8yoI3ub
G-Dragon led me down the aisle that led to the glass doors of the hotel. The rest of The Toxins and BIGBANG were already ahead, getting their pictures taken, but soon most of the media's attention turned to G-Dragon and me. They kept on calling out to us, and we paused to have our picture taken together. I am already losing my nerve, and all this made my body go stiff.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc75UG1RqN
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35gbaDsAeL
"Woah, relax, B.K." said G-Dragon as he smiled for the camera. "You don't seem too comfortable."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyBS3oTQsK
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqT3KMINoG
I blush. It looks like he read my body language. Well, this is embarrassing.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KpBywQ9eR
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUyN7sgqd5
"I don't like getting all the attention," I told him as I spoke in his ear.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZPZ0aIqBn
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dvd9YzJDY
"You deserve it." He said this while he looked at me. "Just like the whole world has their attention on you, you have mine too."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB891rcKAYh
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC07spithb
Is he flirting with me? I can't tell since I can't think straight with all that's going on around us. I hadn't noticed that we were so close and that he was still holding my hand. Likewise, I wanted to pull away, but that would only look rude in front of everyone. It would also be a juicy scene for the media to show and tell.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQcpf8Azyp
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uDBDet02m
He gave me that irresistible smile, and I felt like melting. He left me utterly speechless.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG41Dla54a8
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU3pXI477L
"Come, let's join the others," he said, and we continued to walk hand in hand down the aisle.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJwPmY1yrx
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIN0TJCJ1d
When we got to them, we all took several group photos together. Afterwards, we went through the doors of the hotel. The media remained outside as the security guards barricaded the doors. It's always a relief to get away from those vultures.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEy7Gx3xRX
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQubFrXfZBf
"I think you can let go of my hand now," I said as I turned to face G-Dragon.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp2xErEi2v
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN4tFBwqO7
"I let go of your hand, or you let go of mine?" he asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuzXLu9xVC
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm58vX6W93l
I got confused, and the smirk on his face almost made me lose my mind. I want to look down at our hands, but that would only make things even more awkward. He's doing this just to torture me.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVsDndoJva
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToYyIegNCL
I quickly slipped my hand away from his and folded my arms. He smiles and walks away, slightly brushing my shoulder with his, intentionally. I let out a sigh of relief when he left to join the others. Is it just me, or did it feel so hot in the lobby that I couldn't even breathe?1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FhyKIJIKX
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR81ot0Iwi
Collins, Lee, and Yang Hyun-suk were by the reception desk, checking if our rooms were ready. The Toxins were huddled up with BIGBANG, talking and laughing about who knows what. They all seem to be getting along just fine. When I look around, I notice that the guards inside the lobby have made a circle around us. People were coming from the elevators, and others using the stairs coming into the lobby had their eyes on us. Some even had their phones out, taking pictures and videos. A small group of teenage girls were excited upon seeing The Toxins and BIGBANG together.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ799doA9aS2
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfinIcg801
"I see that Ji Yong is troubling you," said Taeyang as he came over, breaking away from the others.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBsXU2TGpa

"Don't mind him. He does that all the time."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZghUgxFkU

"Yeah, I'm definitely screwed." I playfully hit my head with my hand, laughing nervously. "People would start to think otherwise, huh?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv81MQKJGpX
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGGbeYC0Nz

While Taeyang and I continued talking, we soon heard noises. There seemed to be confusion outside the circle of guards. The next thing I knew, I felt something grab my leg, and when I looked, I gasped.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYRvOyxvOz
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CVybKAEoJ
Holding onto my leg is a beautiful young girl in a lovely white dress. She looked to be three to four years old. And I am captivated by her cuteness.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPkOsxMI9o
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD314tisTap
"Aww, look who we have here," I said softly. I went down on one knee after the little girl let go of my leg. I gently held her chin up, and she gave me a bright smile. Likewise, I smiled back.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIRvYd0kKN
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNItisElTG3
"She's so cute. What do you think?" I asked Taeyang.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUJ2Z5UFFY
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77cODt0rO0
"She is," he replied. "It seems she likes you."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg3kQPj8Tn
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQD2DVVoC9
I smiled at Taeyang, and I looked back at the little girl. She stretched out her hand to me, and in it was a beautiful white flower, which she held by the stem. I looked at it, then back at the young girl, whose bright smile made my heart flutter.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmWy23ld6D
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwLrjwMPLV
"Is this for me?" I asked softly.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCEibO6zbH
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDm5CAzBvV
The little girl nodded, and my smile widened even more. I slowly took the white flower, then carried the little girl in my arms, hugging her.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6r5RXTlpY
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXMFkETuic
I noticed that all this took everyone's attention, and people were either filming or taking pictures. They still kept their distance because of the guards. I stood up straight with the girl in my arms and ran my hand through her black, silky hair. I start to look around for the girl's parents when I see a woman standing outside the circle, staring at the girl in my arms. It seems like she's the girl's mother because she had a look on her face only a mother could have. The little girl looked on at the same woman, and I made the connection. I make my way over to her.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvXiu1SQ3o
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCioRSMqz8
"Sorry for the trouble," the woman said to me when I got closer. "She can really be jumpy sometimes."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWPNDTjJaI
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViRMyvCo0p
"No, not at all," I said. "You've got a very beautiful daughter."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpiickUcoL
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX5bYdgAEr
"Thank you," the woman said with a smile.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZKw8iHZTi
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLJZNGwOSo
The guards standing between the woman and me made way, and I gave the little girl back to her mother. The girl waved goodbye, and I also did the same. The woman took her daughter away, heading for the elevator. I looked at the flower in my hand and smiled. When I turned around, everybody else in the circle, including the two managers and Lee, was staring at me.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PGQJoA9se
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEOdy9uc6f
"What?" I shrug my shoulders.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGulXzWdt3
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaJeKrd26v
Taeyang looked at me in a way I can't describe. I can't tell if he was amazed at what happened or at me. In any way, he made me blush, and I felt uncomfortable in my own skin.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3uYqQRbui
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhzzbF1lYQ
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask him.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMCR8jI1P8
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMk0uALkii
"Um, nothing," Taeyang said with a smile. "I was only wondering. That little girl really likes you, and you seem to be good with children."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4MScixfIb
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs0CJFK9YY
"Or she was just an adorable, cute fan of mine that managed to pass through the guards just to give me a flower."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlayV0278G8
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmmvPlCH3k
Taeyang laughed, and I blushed even more. I looked the other way so that he wouldn't notice.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejfgH6E9aU
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yEjMQtb0d
"You don't know how valuable you are, do you?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcHwDi8Ad8
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTozE22dqm
I look at him, and my heart begins to race. What did he mean by that? Somehow, I felt like I knew, but I didn't want to acknowledge it. I looked down at my feet, not even willing to look up.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdF0I4I3pT
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg40FYEAVrz
I felt Taeyang hold the bottom of my chin with his fingers and slowly lift my face to stare into his kind eyes. For a moment, I got lost in them.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCJbDelOgz
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2wGiF4ll3
"Did I say something wrong?" he asked softly. Damn! His voice was like music to my ears, and I felt so drawn to him. Wake up, Sam, I told myself. I have to snap out of it.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdVJzPKSFm
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyXEqSrCSg
"I'm sorry if I did," he continued when I didn't answer. Dang it! That sweet voice moved me again. "But you do know how extraordinary you are, don't you?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieCxdJkUOe
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdjR21UBOE
I swallowed. That's one question I couldn't answer. Luckily, Collins announced that it was time to go up to our rooms. That's a relief. At the moment, I wanted to be as far away from every BIGBANG member as possible.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqgKdefDbV
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPYvzf4XKS
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey, who had a huge smile on her face as she headed for the elevator. Christine and Daniel followed.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY9nM7Z8f5
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDCCTUrUU5
"I better get going," I told Taeyang.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmZjvD9nQk

"See you tomorrow, then," he said. "Maybe then we can get on the dance floor and see who has the best moves."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEO5uhv6Is

"You're on," said Mike as he walked past us, joining the others in the elevator.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL4luZEhWH

"Make sure you dream about me, alright?" came T.O.P.'s voice as he came and whispered right in my ear. I didn't see him coming, and I felt a chill run down my spine at the sound of his husky voice. These guys are driving me crazy.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn9Sy3inuJ
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiKHPmmaFz
"See you tomorrow, T.O.P." I turned around to face him as he gave me that bad-boy smile of his.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3sbQJ3i22
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pz7FC68rT
I said goodbye to Daesung and Seungri, who both hugged me in return. G-Dragon came over, and I wanted to roll my eyes at him but surprisingly failed to do so. I'm not ready to put up with him again. I felt like running for my life towards the elevator, but I stood there, waiting for what was to come.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NQPJk5YQo
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsdA6RfruB
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, my little black kitty," he said softly. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he said that.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4XoLubhZB

"What did you-?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX357cbNfpj
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xp1PfTDSf
Before I could finish my sentence, G-Dragon quickly pecked me on the cheek. I am so stunned that I can't move. I didn't know he would do that, and it felt wrong on so many levels.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3NiD17io5
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljbmQsMDeM
When I gather my composure, I quickly walk away and join the others in the elevator. Before the doors closed, I looked up to see G-Dragon staring at me with that corky smile on his face, and he gave me a wink.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtERMLB3bl

"What just happened out there?" Zoey asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48y7iz0JFx
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnlEi7eSLz
I threw myself onto the comfortable bed, landing on my back with my eyes closed. I want to forget all that has happened. Furthermore, I feel so tired, and I need to rest, but my mind won't let me. And so is Zoey.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BfRf13klv
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEwC7JC3yN

"What?" I sat up. "Don't tell me you are jealous."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHFlfrtaKK

"You're jealous," mocked Christine, who sat on the other bed opposite Zoey and me.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwDkrE8X01
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVhDcWUmpL
"Christine, ssh! Come on, Sam, start talking." Zoey looked serious. That didn't shock me at all.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHVYjet6il
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS3OxZOzdE
I shrugged my shoulders. "It was nothing, really. He just helped me out of the car, and we walked down the aisle together."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNkiUeOFGC
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHSiERAwTU
"Really? You two were walking down the aisle like newlyweds! And he gave you a goodbye kiss before we left." She sighed. "I wish he gave me one too."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aD40HiJ7g
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs38Qlm5EHA
"You're overreacting, Zoey." I roll my eyes. "It's not like we'll ever be in a relationship. Apart from being friends, that is."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaXg2qA0Of

1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1mJaqc0S4
"Yeah, but he's already dating someone else, so I'm not worried," said Christine with a smile on her face. "I only like him because I'm a fan. You, on the other hand, are acting like once upon a time, G-Dragon was your boyfriend, and then you two broke up when you just met him face-to-face today."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSwXA2vQTF
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP6CLYUqSK

"So, Christine, you're going to share the other room with Lee," I heard Zoey tell Christine. "Sam and I will be in this room. Wow, these beds are so comfortable." I hear her bounce up and down. "I'll sleep like a baby tonight."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRwTarsZiD

All of a sudden, the door to the room flew open, and Lee came flying in, landing on the other bed Christine is sitting on. We all look at her, wondering what's going on.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbV1rjm88T
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF6IsfYIGT
"Hey, are you okay?" Christine asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kHxFG1D9e
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gsVy2kt3p
"Have you checked what's online?" Lee asked, almost out of breath.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub7aNO2Vn5
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp1f5mldSa
"Um, no," Zoey replied. "What is it?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN2jFliYnL
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xuksHBJlU
"Sam, you're everywhere, like everywhere," said Lee as she looked at me. She clearly isn't making any sense.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeDa9HuiJq
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVTRqNJS0Y
"I'm everywhere? What do you mean?" I asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVx5D1HOBv

"Pictures of you with G-Dragon, the time you were with that little girl and Taeyang, everything. People are just talking about you!"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2n78iyntv
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GfXtENmP4
Lee had her phone, and she held it up for all of us to see. Christine, Zoey, and I got close enough to look at the screen. And just like she said, there were many pictures of me and G-Dragon. Lee continued to scroll downward. There were more: some with me and the little girl, and others with Taeyang. There were also pictures of all The Toxins and BIGBANG members, but the photos of me were a little too much.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLAuANaJwd
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNFQ3Jx2Em
"Wow, I'm not looking forward to seeing the entertainment news tomorrow," I said as I continued to look at the pictures.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApAkGYMlYu
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HWoAHJQyR
"OMG!" said Zoey, her eyes still fixed on the screen. "There are pictures of you everywhere, Sam."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJIa4FKgiL
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB3XjCV4hW
"Nah, we're all there," I said. "I'm just a little unfortunate."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FtTCfvs3p
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP9QZgs7c2
"Did you just say unfortunate?" Zoey asked as she looked at me with her eyebrows raised. "So many pictures of you, and you're saying you're unfortunate?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl1IjuOaUb
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3NndE4eKV
"Okay, I better shut up because I'm clearly not helping," I said as I walked back to the window.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVdFerZxRX

Suddenly, Mike and Daniel came into the room through the open door.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS8ktqrDFJ
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdnZr8rwnF
"Guys, you're supposed to knock first," said Christine. "This is a girls' room, you know."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs6Q8rHINa
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNEmfffyv4
"You won't believe what's on Facebook," said Mike, completely ignoring Christine.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZixunLmAR
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr2Xnkw8qo
"If you're talking about Sam, we already know," said Zoey.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbBMpHHFQ2
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMJPR1B2WF
"This is annoying," I said. "I didn't want this."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwPFUo9ynw
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQJaua31n
"No one said you did," said Lee. "It just so happens that you caught people's attention."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV97T5H6zaW
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjxEcArS8I
"It looks like you've gained so much attention yet again," said Daniel. "Wait until Collins sees this."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJE8eq6S1Y
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJkJ7halzF
"I'm so tired right now," said Christine as she yawned. "But I need to have something to eat first."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgRx62ROCQ
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vw3Hh8bIH
"Food will be brought up soon," said Lee. "Collins thinks it's too risky to go downstairs since there are still fans and the media around."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyr2Q2Bhz5
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4VmD2dijX
"Staying here is fine with me," I said. "As long as I don't get my picture taken putting something in my mouth."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kw3Rd0Ypo
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLxbd7b3Xc
"Haha, now you're just exaggerating," said Zoey. "Just accept that somehow you caught the world's attention. Besides, this isn't the first time the Black Kitty has stolen the show."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfjzn3RZqt
1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplT1DJ4Bcp
I look at Zoey, and I have to admit, she's right. There were plenty of times when I "stole the show," as everybody puts it. But this time, it wasn't the whole U.S., but South Korea and other parts of the world combined. I'm not ready to check my phone because of all the notifications I would receive. I might as well just flush it down the toilet.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUrN86aR7x

Looking out the window upon the beautiful city, still holding the flower the little girl gave me in my hand, I couldn't help but think of what Taeyang told me down in the lobby if I knew how valuable I am. I felt like a priceless diamond for the entire world to see. Some people would have liked the feeling, but I didn't.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04KlemyWhO

When supper arrived, we all ate, and everyone retired to sleep soon afterwards. As I lay down on my bed and Zoey is fast asleep on the other, I can't help but think of what will happen tomorrow. We were going to take a tour of Seoul. I am already so filled with excitement that I forgot all about the drama with BIGBANG, the media, and everything else. In what felt like seconds, I quickly dozed off to sleep.
