going to get."copyright protection293PENANA5nmxdTQnm8297Please respect copyright.PENANAJBluMzR9Tn

as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 297Please respect copyright.PENANAMIy6j05DmE
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 297Please respect copyright.PENANAXXqrOszGpm

Last night, I took the 297Please respect copyright.PENANAtXyWgP3sds
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 297Please respect copyright.PENANARuB0Bg8Vs8
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 297Please respect copyright.PENANAXCXVfvVMMQ
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 297Please respect copyright.PENANAwZszkm8VxP

Apparently, the managers297Please respect copyright.PENANAxKU3CE7NnD
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 297Please respect copyright.PENANAffBNUTqy54
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought297Please respect copyright.PENANAsHAPzQ84De
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 297Please respect copyright.PENANAcDIIlOkZ05
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 297Please respect copyright.PENANAj4L7h06Fk1
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 297Please respect copyright.PENANAGwC3HMfvwr

After my confrontation 297Please respect copyright.PENANAynEuJzpWAc
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I297Please respect copyright.PENANAU6DdqLDOKp

I noticed Taeyang smile 297Please respect copyright.PENANAbntWb1aHYj
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 297Please respect copyright.PENANAZI5VuK1Ovp
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 297Please respect copyright.PENANA4ouTEyd51U

focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 297Please respect copyright.PENANAHoRJK7eF86

leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 297Please respect copyright.PENANAk2CwiiwUkI

seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 297Please respect copyright.PENANA5encT6ZW05
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 297Please respect copyright.PENANAfEcAzBSayJ
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 297Please respect copyright.PENANAVec6R9Xpng

look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 297Please respect copyright.PENANAdzT168BimK

went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my297Please respect copyright.PENANAdzq5Vj5zgt
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 297Please respect copyright.PENANAbcYcK8Yoth

"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.copyright protection293PENANA8P8XHVH9Xo297Please respect copyright.PENANAWmq4kOPw7V
We all got to the table and before I could pull out my chair, Taeyang pulled the chair out for me and I glady sat.copyright protection293PENANAIWCFymXw5V297Please respect copyright.PENANAoEpaLnE72L
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.copyright protection293PENANA5JTNSEnfdD297Please respect copyright.PENANA2E8697qc3l

to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 297Please respect copyright.PENANA7PaTgsYdPI
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.copyright protection293PENANAJqCSSjrE4o297Please respect copyright.PENANAMSBdhJFXa1
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. copyright protection293PENANAcKblozRdR1297Please respect copyright.PENANAB21scM2Osd

I heard footsteps coming297Please respect copyright.PENANAWcY0OkUZFn
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 297Please respect copyright.PENANACSsb0mS0ie
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 297Please respect copyright.PENANADwSjBEPXKU
look at me.copyright protection293PENANAeFUIub1tBE297Please respect copyright.PENANAiB3Np8GU40

"I'm trying to," I whispered back.copyright protection293PENANA2KZm1Z3gkR297Please respect copyright.PENANAVmx2m0222L
I soon felt strong hands297Please respect copyright.PENANAj9SNApEkdf
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD297Please respect copyright.PENANAuQAE7KbFZr
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.copyright protection293PENANA5GtWsk7jPd297Please respect copyright.PENANAR3wO3Tyv2i

"I'm a whole lot better,297Please respect copyright.PENANAPkxl1DT8Gd

I was planning not to 297Please respect copyright.PENANAeJxw6F2j0x
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 297Please respect copyright.PENANAlAy4Wjjfcc
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 297Please respect copyright.PENANA9KNUHNKbcw
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to297Please respect copyright.PENANAPpV7Ca6qOC
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 297Please respect copyright.PENANAEYUly0iz0l
under the bridge.copyright protection293PENANAc6pjeyvbiO297Please respect copyright.PENANAvU1rsUdsuM
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."copyright protection293PENANAfgFWx2O4EY297Please respect copyright.PENANAcOwVQbwzwv
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.copyright protection293PENANAXA1zjfZDYU297Please respect copyright.PENANA2a4qKkK3hM
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."copyright protection293PENANAH6KNppgyTM297Please respect copyright.PENANAdMFde1fGoR
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."copyright protection293PENANACSGQm6EYbk297Please respect copyright.PENANAbFRVU3v2jm
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.copyright protection293PENANAbDY7EuN2iW297Please respect copyright.PENANA7lFC9CQnNx
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.copyright protection293PENANA2kbKYguoNf297Please respect copyright.PENANAKDyH8TYcsb
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.copyright protection293PENANAbeCqIS5zBF297Please respect copyright.PENANApVZRGSTOtT

The waiters soon came 297Please respect copyright.PENANAb0X1rKZgDA
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.297Please respect copyright.PENANAUjfgGNH6WX
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 297Please respect copyright.PENANAhPgUFarDa4
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 297Please respect copyright.PENANAxsDhlXLK45
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.copyright protection293PENANAqQdRZOmXEB297Please respect copyright.PENANAyZn4oUEBLt
For a moment, I felt 297Please respect copyright.PENANAdXKRLvAjyC
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 297Please respect copyright.PENANARjK36WXxWX
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 297Please respect copyright.PENANAZYnXskVT0D
me to forget that I was ever mad.copyright protection293PENANAjtTmRKBe3F297Please respect copyright.PENANAWsQQNUgph8
"Mmm, this is so 297Please respect copyright.PENANAxfNmXBY82z
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 297Please respect copyright.PENANA08ArNdpbFB
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."copyright protection293PENANAVEZgu2eu0z297Please respect copyright.PENANAtC8jvttsGp

"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."copyright protection293PENANAVFYVhuRHAH297Please respect copyright.PENANAdtw1I00Tjp
"Anything for you, Sam,"297Please respect copyright.PENANA28aQNwSzd7

"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.copyright protection293PENANAyyCQSoF5Zs297Please respect copyright.PENANAYMJsx84MRy
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.copyright protection293PENANAXL0IeLQvB4297Please respect copyright.PENANAEHqympUdYA

food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 297Please respect copyright.PENANAAGe8Yufm7t
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly297Please respect copyright.PENANA1PM0DHGkqU

just said.copyright protection293PENANAcGEBItgWxf297Please respect copyright.PENANA5ouI37M23i

"Well, ya," Christine 297Please respect copyright.PENANAKx8JxIoIaM
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 297Please respect copyright.PENANAVVXHUbRhSg

jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 297Please respect copyright.PENANAXublxSPMQs
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare297Please respect copyright.PENANARfWPSrIxhz
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 297Please respect copyright.PENANAcvNyMCmHZW
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 297Please respect copyright.PENANASEH8McJ0Kz
turning into rage?copyright protection293PENANA7v0mh98PnS297Please respect copyright.PENANACLDeC7KWDg
Oh, goodness. I needed 297Please respect copyright.PENANA9k3AhuXxvL
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 297Please respect copyright.PENANAYkczgalErj

I tried to push aside 297Please respect copyright.PENANA3iyTexRVfM
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 297Please respect copyright.PENANAxQEyq5gc68
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 297Please respect copyright.PENANAYSXWSwL5yM
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 297Please respect copyright.PENANA9VosyAmMcA
chocolate moussé.copyright protection293PENANAnDvjVjycX3297Please respect copyright.PENANAKarnU06LkB

just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 297Please respect copyright.PENANAgZgs0l6z1c
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 297Please respect copyright.PENANAopWM3rp1kK
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 297Please respect copyright.PENANAsOvFBa0dzJ
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 297Please respect copyright.PENANAGVwziDPshR

little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.copyright protection293PENANAQiVLY5dNQT297Please respect copyright.PENANAZKugX9HIYq

convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And297Please respect copyright.PENANAxt5lF8C3sO
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of297Please respect copyright.PENANADiLiP3Nrdk

"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."copyright protection293PENANApdzIRGDjQJ297Please respect copyright.PENANAWhQC3Or4LN
Taeyang was right. I was297Please respect copyright.PENANAxKbnmc3os1
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 297Please respect copyright.PENANANyXXk4KWcq
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 297Please respect copyright.PENANAVciaEqUNLw
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 297Please respect copyright.PENANANAlWx0aQNU
attention.copyright protection293PENANAMPfdgSsjne297Please respect copyright.PENANA46YXVlpGxB
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."copyright protection293PENANAYZ7YRCJm3a297Please respect copyright.PENANAryrzAHFI3N
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."copyright protection293PENANAaLSbH1XeE7297Please respect copyright.PENANA6CwMavr0tl
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel297Please respect copyright.PENANAiOYrabjHmO
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 297Please respect copyright.PENANA7cUC1dXaoC
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!copyright protection293PENANAeDUCKHywnf297Please respect copyright.PENANA3afhDoCTLO
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.copyright protection293PENANAO0ggHUc6WL297Please respect copyright.PENANAa8EtVYDQyi
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.copyright protection293PENANAU77LqO4PzC297Please respect copyright.PENANA8kSauLURnn
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.copyright protection293PENANAe67iLSkmTo297Please respect copyright.PENANACAjirl6VEV
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.copyright protection293PENANA7d3mdFiZHG297Please respect copyright.PENANACid1NPPeni
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.copyright protection293PENANApChFf40ptA297Please respect copyright.PENANAtavedqsSnY
"But I....." copyright protection293PENANAXeKLB89Vab297Please respect copyright.PENANAVlTS6ZRaNm
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 297Please respect copyright.PENANALKQ1o8CNPF
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've297Please respect copyright.PENANAe0RdCjgIY2
talked way too much, don't you think?"copyright protection293PENANAvj8kza514o297Please respect copyright.PENANAFW5dpk5G9d
That felt like a slap in297Please respect copyright.PENANAccK64nE1c2
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 297Please respect copyright.PENANASVwByHGAM1
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 297Please respect copyright.PENANA81RIa0sPa5
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 297Please respect copyright.PENANAWWxIpD2I81
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 297Please respect copyright.PENANAEbK3uOg1UG
about what I thought was best for the whole group?copyright protection293PENANAyCjbU0BWtK297Please respect copyright.PENANAOuLvY1N10E
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.copyright protection293PENANAxcPFqGDvZj297Please respect copyright.PENANATayX3eFFLX
"That's fine with me," said Mike.copyright protection293PENANAK9y0i8xftP297Please respect copyright.PENANA0EsMuCbfGD
Everyone else agreed, 297Please respect copyright.PENANA2dWpDH621x
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 297Please respect copyright.PENANAwsfefL1pky
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 297Please respect copyright.PENANAfke4Fu0z7q
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 297Please respect copyright.PENANAjRCagZFdYO
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 297Please respect copyright.PENANAuBE5jkqWQw
B, just in case.copyright protection293PENANAO2V4OEFX2W297Please respect copyright.PENANAkM2kGZJqd3
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.copyright protection293PENANAiJ51VNA4wA297Please respect copyright.PENANAnXTjeSD76y
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.copyright protection293PENANAW8Vvd291id297Please respect copyright.PENANAshYgQvrnFm
"Not now, Sam. We will 297Please respect copyright.PENANArG0h4UU9sn
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 297Please respect copyright.PENANA0lh84IKKhG
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 297Please respect copyright.PENANAa7dvJLIQhM
gave me goosebumps.copyright protection293PENANAuqIdGi7UHk297Please respect copyright.PENANAuBhody6nhC
"Way to go, Sam," said Zoey, as she also stood up from the table. "You just made him upset. I need to go calm him down."copyright protection293PENANA9C5UhA7SSm297Please respect copyright.PENANA8vyl4G53HM
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. copyright protection293PENANAgt8k61xhyk297Please respect copyright.PENANA0raWDRvfWr
One by one everyone 297Please respect copyright.PENANALTN4j77TsF
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 297Please respect copyright.PENANA3jw4JH8Zmr
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem297Please respect copyright.PENANApXiWppbtcn
appropriate.copyright protection293PENANAONKNA8G3fm297Please respect copyright.PENANAZp8Tl4FWeG
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.copyright protection293PENANAN8C78hGdqx297Please respect copyright.PENANA9QqUS9SFMX
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.copyright protection293PENANAOHvIXVn2WT297Please respect copyright.PENANAwWcon6rmId
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.copyright protection293PENANAR0nj9qsFSw297Please respect copyright.PENANAVF6S3KTXgi
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.copyright protection293PENANAj4d9hwU15f297Please respect copyright.PENANAKfgmZgtwGf
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."copyright protection293PENANAV8oHbCLbel297Please respect copyright.PENANAi2KallUe3M
"It's not that. I pissed297Please respect copyright.PENANAZxlmXahsEM

everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."copyright protection293PENANAOh24d2p2Vm297Please respect copyright.PENANAUNWDc2sSRO

"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."copyright protection293PENANAJBVrq4WxFA297Please respect copyright.PENANAZIUzVelmPk
Taeyang placed his hand 297Please respect copyright.PENANANLIurqAyDN
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He297Please respect copyright.PENANAF1MfoSQrTv
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.copyright protection293PENANAeHty1PcZuu297Please respect copyright.PENANANiymVo4hsj

feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 297Please respect copyright.PENANADZrZQU1RVh
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 297Please respect copyright.PENANA5FFCPlHW9h
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 297Please respect copyright.PENANAGZWC7fpcTv
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.copyright protection293PENANAPZ8BXUKXqw
