The water felt like a 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzBtQZ24I9
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ8fvsqWBA
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpKhXDkpZp
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k2lwZ7oEZ
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsqpeKQ3cW
breathe. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBeIrECG2x
I pushed myself upwards 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuwHHYE9p7
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvBO1R3tSM
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7iqi0vUuY
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsTyAMWFsT
edge.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSoYPn6LwK
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgzGvZO1h1
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Avpv13TZf
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXlImDvPOc
I looked ridiculously 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOSx0srd0m
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLl2XrZSFO
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifzlh5w4ZY
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBrMkBZSom
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqYDQMTuIL
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oC0mr4syv
I looked around me and 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLLdLxWler
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYUsGRhqsd
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf0MBjAAOi
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIgiXyqDI1
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA49ogh5XL
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YxyDccPTz
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk0HBYNPSQ
I heard Zoey and the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoOFUez9Zy
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46CodvizW6
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t9DsieGxJ
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajauNZjLoG
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4kjW8lNQs
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uviKC5z3h
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQPSmkrt5K
"I already told you, I'm982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xQaML2DAr
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9n3nph0M3
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJogUpTDhO
from anyone.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDccXHSh30e
I made my way towards GD982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVaKPvxP4d
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37tCyr0srs
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtxZYZubgk
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LTsTtaJ9z
"Oh, man, Sam," said 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVjs3OqkXg
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Boh0ulci
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe5eTQhykk
game. Hope you didn't mind."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWOP5VJkts
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzMR8pgAmQ
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyU8CgSazy
"I told you, our 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZzocIGAyc
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfMWcktsU8
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUGCnGwqvb
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg72pHBolhC
Daesung.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtcJMZM3x2
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwIqlgrEJZ
I dialled Lee's number 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZtqWQNmtn
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioKkU1RGoN
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjmil1OXBz
They would know soon enough.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2EpByl8Q0
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3FpiKQDeL
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtth8bvn8pe
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMubMXbxGc7
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqd7uJN0Q5
"No, not yet. But you 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz7ywFmymr
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzIeUdc5ok
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZGyPvaI1T
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbA39Utxht
"Okay, I'll be waiting."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGbN79mh8e
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQQqRQP5ds
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rr1auylA2
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIUj6zdn4Q
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqSi8kKunt
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkYfxGLub7
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4wlbtGD3b
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QvR89TAie
I shook my head. I was 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4c5QRUZ8M
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVYcbYQwqJ
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVDeuyCKm1
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVRZuLDKxW
After walking a few feet982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeaVbawANY
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetI6ePYtNK
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3jNVfoFGD
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrvzB08EUQ
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmI5Fmcj3R
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yrtau9LBT
None of them answered as982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnoufnYHXq
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxzo23ma1Z
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ65lSgYsy
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe68Hfh7sDI
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRftC1C0bbA
"I wasn't going to say 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr9ke5p2Qw
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcqyMioXQ1
you would want to hear from me is advice."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1wzkOQFlr
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jZjteTzoK
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJivMX9Ckc
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEcUEYctqj
"I'm still upset, though."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjvPkGZQJx
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IxQYgVwhN
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeLhht6Sfz
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvplYxoaExL
I gave TOP an assuring 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39MIiIWCxk
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zkQEbrj69
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHpGEvqdes
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmfBj8ORms
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT7YgZoD6I
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwSYDftqkO
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAda8E83jnq
We all found ourselves 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6XoNZC7qy
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGSMtUaBKb
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrC5SfVlv1
were waiting for me. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TRPK8bZe4
"Hey, Sam, you don't 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp7TBau8XM
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKB09iQneE
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJwiu9dN0p
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TRZ6o3ot7
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9TWrPqU9M
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IanwhlKQI
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl5IdEOayQ
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFLrL0JON1
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiDWEMuK4c
I had my eyes closed 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB08sRcyXF
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMniePEWDd
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGMMXweGXh
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXxD5MlTn2
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71mOopLQdX
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYVZYNCqfL
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GFF1OQD2v
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cOCvVmMKn
Taeyang led me to his 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbanPc0q61
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaU3YCdc3g
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQY2MyC40v
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVCH7zJEo1
In about thirty minutes,982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTVqQwwegY
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6wpLeLz2r
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4of5jBB45
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVexssjKgu
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fiFzwS3TO
appeared out of the elevator.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKguC9BYp7
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVhqkYYq8x
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CVnZENW2K
Lee who stood behind 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUeuaYdWfj
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1JQBqrkfL
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnvfDP4Rr9
other things in mind.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IBGcWf9H8
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dzlkJhhbc
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSKVamVew4
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWpLZD93i3
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEmz5RWtdn
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1y1pflERf
"We didn't just go there to have fun," I said, with my head down. "If there's anyone to blame for all this, it's me."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoXt4o0GJ5
There was an awkward 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsqgEJEeuW
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5CWsVWkHl
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Jz1FddUy
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp4qiiviSB
"Well, I hear the press 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG5eZzLIwk
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S7npXSASQ
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnZUIbtnef
"That won't be 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCcVHvB96i
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSVw6PVTiI
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iaaMi3Vro
go to the press looking all wet."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgV7dDiaJx
I breathed out a sigh of982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPef4c41yvt
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2266qTWxNV
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMDHqGLlr5
"In the meantime, you go982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjdUknB7ub
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjMbBz4qRw
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoSdylTcti
I nodded my head in 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6w0A4dWFw
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I172U4qjy
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vIdaQoLvx
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTIborwDOQ
"Alright," I said 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6pgYyGATI
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrChTPNWDLu
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd4aplS8gA
I was only making things worse.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmj4kKDC8o
Before I turned to leave982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs1VccMmPm
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDGxy8hrbi
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQKJo7jIxp
one.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmguhNIHXT
***982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCThbmy9RO
I sat on the couch all 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkyecZYARw
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNONsTZYtSs
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnfpluuazP
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtIobULKuj
I had a box of paper 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUahRCyENa5
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qxCAkwjGS
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO4TVXLrr0
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd8Mur2NKc
I continued watching the982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXLKcC563I
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEGPh4Za6t
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr3CocA1E3
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPq6oz7wxU
"Never better," I said, 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtvZDYV8Hi
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwsc7pvvOc
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6u0aApoRZ
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerDhEehtlx
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg91PTQTfM
"Ya, I'm actually enjoying it," I said as I put in a spoonful of chicken soup in my mouth. Mmm, it was so tasty.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUF3rQvCir
"And the others?" 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjAQQ4n4Jw
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y3WhujtuM
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGA77gHBo8
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJI2JDIfWs
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHQKz6bg3k
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOuT8msLIV
"You don't know or you are?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfjzkQtuKR
I shrugged my shoulders. To be completely honest, I am still mad, but then again, I felt like I wasn't and that felt confusing.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZipIgSK0hg
"I don't know, Tae," I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlZT1nS32S
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj1sjXt9Sn
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5NpX0rZNm
forget all that happened yesterday."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZUw93wPSV
"Ya, I understand. They 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Bfi7M1wJ
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmrKmcoQxL
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmc4Fsf5Wv
going to get."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyNq8ZTRgV
I looked on at Taeyang 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ivmj4dQjn
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP6zSIcofm
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKgZdPUkO1
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NqEjyrAqB
who was as tough as nails.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nkLOw7jhZ
Last night, I took the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV75H33rfwc
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2jtRxzidu
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W7yBmASAb
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipcOED8qFm
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9phkwHXMf
Apparently, the managers982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXInV49H7f
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkx4P326v4
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SsPQ79BAQ
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySxR8eFvO2
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQwqAd6Qhw
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmySXlvOGm
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOiIDNMDDO
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2DgXlItIT
and the reporters.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hOU9qrQLw
After my confrontation 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SCLftOWq6
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdd81URJwv
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQJkGwadBR
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGQfyiaR3I
"Huh, I guess am still upset," I said, as I took in another spoon of soup in my mouth. "Especially after what GD did to me."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDJSzEaCHp
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sIFndgauU
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYomD6gYsMH
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh5EEPYlPc
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrL1hkHnWA
"Have you tried talking to GD?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLwMjGNTC2
"To be honest, I haven't982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0YkfDmyQg
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoma6U8kg9Y
slap him in the face if I see him."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqQlmRJ0aE
"I don't doubt that."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH31KRZKng
"And thank goodness my 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT1ssRRNX9
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZIxCjkZkN
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bRkePnSQI
want to do is watch some TV."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75hBlrFOTM
I quickly drank my 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyozZ8iQSBD
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZcBOd0zA5
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsb3Tq470w
to.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1ps6Y1dPa
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnC7q9w7ei
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPN9tNghfu
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51FJag6dNH
"Nope."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39woOLvx1h
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufJDQ1s9Z5
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI9QP1Ioo0
Taeyang didn't say 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LdFLCAfQv
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9OSzzYW1K
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ATqDYAw3
"I know you fought or 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQjdHW7ys0
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi9LZ1KFx1
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaw9gCsx4R
I noticed Taeyang smile 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZVoQn4Myh
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnELDZeaPa
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG0OAJGy7Q
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AxNpBwmgZ
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDwke9BCUO
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5R1WjY78p
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEqEsY6H64
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaVg5X0r3X
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC2sY3ipPO
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yyt2D2ok1
Before I could finish my982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgRIictzCQ
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZPe5jhXnu
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyhoT2Uq3P
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZtG8XAMy6
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtl5mtMR0d
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvlYi9nO0U
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ACGYNylx
"Yep, cheers to that." 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg2YJfy9RJ
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9zKzMO1JO
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZXAmqCPSK
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZHmk5Cb4A
"We can't work on it without you," said Taeyang. "You and G-Dragon decided that the both of you would work on it together."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHddxqISRHg
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK4SauVgje
"Wow, that sounds personal."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2LOeULw1c
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsDY4LBSWb
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEXbqKCysA
"I think I've a better 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36xQkv12VD
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f0XZ5GP9j
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8siXbEk2yv
lyrics. It's better that way."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri3ipKQ5bN
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAAeeReEFd
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnsURJYone
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcaUdqbGzX
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Kcke445e
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZYofmEBvm
"Haha, good point."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFohO136ng
Taeyang and I continued 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK0Ah9n46c
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYvaTNnoEG
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcNitsZHlV
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxQx88RPST
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bCcbWcucT
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCll3XrAcV
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1EH8JgSPC
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXX2glJBdq
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHcz1dccA7
While the two of us were982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfuBkGIUre
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop49HkGtGK
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfi1hkaTxC
I quickly went over to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTfPmSnphq
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxwXNCU7Ba
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIsKY3yIWg
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh0xwOF4oC
come up and I put the receiver down.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFJKaQsSss
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iNZvwQDXT
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMUNJ5Kwcl
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOBPqhTNWZ
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e88fAvSJa
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrqDUr4aD3
"Eww, that pillow 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlffLwamwl
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVYNfv4BfW
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUxUGNGDC1
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lk3QPvEsP
A few seconds later, we 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ywdY20Ik
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w1UywMjNs
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEzkO1Wmfo
holding a box of chocolates.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNVhY73fGW
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvir7yFSVl7
"Ah, no, the panda is a 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0kSQdNj4l
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvJceocRrr
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopnyfqSPSD
same time.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S00FGeSEO
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLEwGpgUdk
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3sxV6NDhW
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ864FH6ygOf
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZOb2tud5J
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLyXOJcqEe
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IQXKjaJli
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0e4fckLhO
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gybytrIJs
"For goodness sake, I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScOruCfQH4
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDc9h38vKz
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5L43RY1qw
scared with me."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTatAS14xOg
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6AKygONjN
I took the panda in my 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm0dU8DlzX
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUgY13bi3m
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yvQT4bGLZ
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1lHVwX0FB
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxlxJ4dvzn
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzal9xFKGc1
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZqlvwDGAQ
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0yPF2zUg8
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85sHAPij7B
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFJXLIEZ9j
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqa4AKnXyX
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiXPaC2BVd
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivQ2GYQ3hq
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjxTPpteeO
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqOrwWo5ok
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX2uYrahjI
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFWdJScow9
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsgVEzUw33
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTMfu0yaRH
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrlR4BiqcT
"Ya, I do."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gbqgxSz55
While the four of us 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mP3h0y8Oj
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3T4RVF3bX
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99FTe3LHVN
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAQr3V0FeI
said:982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHfB8XsLg2
"Hey, Zoey." 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmCLSy8D4A
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2GkHkj3Bc
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8pInHIXGp
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSfJnqd29p
"It's good you came to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEdEzvddm7
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEHDX1H1QF
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZW0sCKFSg
couch.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV94zRBjTyR
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfGMyTRvNU
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBb6f2qrNI
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXq9cyNW84
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifwJ0WrKv7
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH4zbsDJJb
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwXxYfqHSg
I tugged at my panda's 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi8AmcRV0T
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuLq4OkLXW
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CGYjrWRJB
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzvIJ7BjJI
The Toxins came back to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOu79OYAkR
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIk0AuAhye
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANx2wOkI04
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1vM4Cc6Cb
For a moment, no one 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgxooyvW9M
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6mJArhtYN
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigp0b5SZDs
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuux2cGdEm
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKShNWAnJVN
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ghHBmrwY3
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpejMdOMD8
I stared up at the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJcOyFcZ8n
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwrJkUCZAt
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjlaJ6eNQm
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6LEhymEY7
When Zoey tried to reach982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNFWhHB5xW
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEG0yDu7Cl
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfJjNFHONs
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hnNOVh2t4
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtFfso0RHC
Zoey looked hurt with 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKVFLikMJf
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPPPtA3SqZ
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJow3tGCTt
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h2xRO9eYm
I didn't answer as I put982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfCv8g3Z3E
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4WUwZZjM9
was still mad, especially at Zoey.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSSITvw4k9
"I know it's a little 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW969IFq1Ux
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc46hQPSxts
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XcRuqpHFV
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwMuRy5CSZ
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqoWSyIq4S
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WUXOPI4Ow
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT8KWY9aaU
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlJjBOoMWL
"I don't like it when 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwadR8YMcs
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPFCdQPf86
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPiLGmvSYI
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPPXMsczis
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGRKzdhwS3
sorry, Sam."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjQHu53vL5
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZAQTjDBcn
"I'm sorry too," said 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY53hvbeic4
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZiWkimCJp
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk77SXsLmn5
for you to talk to us again."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06idrDngty
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR1hfcCOZL
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPct3cgXUpK
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY0sVpgLgB
leader."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11i3EzT1GH
I still didn't say a 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtZC6BidEh
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sIdKeTclC
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOJkeEXaCr
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1jDCQ263b
them despite the awful things they put me through.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4W5JKl1h5
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUttGhc9Ke5
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZsJgwmwVD
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgkLCoUYsP
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnJV3dc6sz
"I'm mad and pretty much982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGrSk5lbkd
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NVBli2C9y
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy6eTrqsFt
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfs8Rhs1TM
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTOaIdQ4oX
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5bgoq7s04
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCSZd29U5z
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXFrQoRLv8
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5R8cXR6D9
"Ah, you! Always acting 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkOHUBLqzc
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVOwBSorK7
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEUkVeRNrq
catch it anyway."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FOfD5TpU7
Christine, Daniel and 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdLwQTMHvI
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlCGIwfNTc
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF9WcnZWOj
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7J2pIrEEr
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVa03oT8Mf
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEabCcXmoe5
"Ya, I'm glad we did," I said, as I felt my nose twitch. "Can you guys please stop hugging me, I'm about to...."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWR3YG81UD
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY0giDu2gn
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYcjXfOdc5
"Don't worry, you won't 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZRz0dms0l
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwecOzxsAx
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR69jLJVxTH
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUjbnaeI0O
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TwCBtEk3D
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLPzPgK5Ph
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSayRaw7FF
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitl4CkbxhL
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxeQsrB45Q
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZlrdZxUbW
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaiXsQn2f7
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t5wrP7Hw4
At that moment, I had 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6w4oMYY4X
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbtETpbz1b
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3COodGESh
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86sjt5v1b5
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlbyHBb0wG
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphC9Nuad1V
Zoey got the box of 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0cPLBY72e
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPz9T3RgS3
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbsvJ7Gh8T
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOUve4sg92
I was in the passage as I982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJuT4iJL9O
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLdqvN7v97
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgDuDCURbu
in what felt like sadness.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwmslkMrpi
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYzGhQ6rmV
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zbOPW0wzt
I heard his footsteps 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZemGFeiYTP
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWelFSZXszJ
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx7TPmz3vQ
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nytp2TKLA
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAXP6mRESv
"Are we really do this right now?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoJW6hXXQY
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X42C1g4UN
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mheD8GRgU
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQPKLf2iKi
"Nope." 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjOoYqkKIA
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8uI3IL0Ef
My eyes almost felt like982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ71nU1Atw
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8qFqz9Prk
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzSTcCl6UY
I turned to look at him 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TYvMEGQio
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8wWbenq2a
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAy40D732l
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZoUOWQwIC
"That you're surrounded 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPGm0ta1fr
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIyobztAEb
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0NY4kjncF
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybnquZPfaN
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL8Uxj0phO
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J2Wr4gtZp
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopnzjJl58I
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKGLOvVtXL
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrjPINMqgc
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AcyvLUyfh
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuGWKn47LR
Apparently, I couldn't 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO2ctgpLkl
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBs8j2qhRC
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut3tCQjQ3I
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlbfPCQ42N
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLXBoMu4qp
death.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5uvqIr8OV
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwWV8A718X
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJSpPpWNdf
Taeyang folded his arms 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57PoalPVtk
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ443Xajxiiy
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCpNasf7Tq
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDg0EF0DTb
"You're may think you're982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzLd59T8EU
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HlkgJLvrm
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT68X2INJx4
but feeling hurt."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEHquSUkI3
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavtLQLjJme
"But I wouldn't feel 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXFeQt4SnL
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF6Qlmhtff
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1yMGt46WR
at Taeyang.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNA0GgjIrf
Taeyang gave me that 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23bqHnF7QQ
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91f4FgzaYx
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQYmca21Dj
while in return, he nodded.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgvI7m3Jyh
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwe3DWT38d
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv1bD0tLco
I didn't say a word as I982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIDMX6uvLX
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw57UrAU0b
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjXiJ3cRFF
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5AFGnfmpT
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRA7xKxqvE
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUM2Gugh7S
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSEkH5NalH
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok8pAqiswo
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlFVTW1GEc
If there was ever a way I982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72A9hQm8nr
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nsFJOB424
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdkxJ0LFHe
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzQcp8gTLT
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYcVI3EOIZ
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAkTWhNcfm
When I came out, I still found Taeyang where I had left him and the two of us went to join the others entering the elevator.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX9RpzKpxg
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nqkWcDOSv
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgxcXWQujI
"Well, I'm just asking,"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyjxfomLJn
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4v83WRGAR
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFEsOHxJgY
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU9NhWVHMs
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhFFJWQslr
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81GQlW6K4p
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qb132WiNh
I pressed the button 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZBybGvueu
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGldudxXV6
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSej0iJFjD
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCEk0Nmhsc
We went to the main 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F7MHj3mJE
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTtOfYwCQC
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzMSlWOV7P
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aofYaJTF4
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtWT8Nv96r
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoeTsMVecL
"To be honest, we just 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZLsFY3Sq8
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXq8rGwZgD
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR117VjMSlS
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3kBraleCu
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDWmXhrlBn
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.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6XJo0OZlb
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYyNW7msWe
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajOxG3uCwK
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTeXU4Nk2Z
"Nah, I don't think so,"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lAxxmi60Z
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9T3icbwZO
he would be treating me like that."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk0CDlrpud
"Mmm, I don't think so,"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQZWCyCwpX
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m5GZURWjl
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHQDIJd1bj
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbhdN2jVbx
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbazB1HnLD
"Then, stop trying to make one."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbyJVDGq82
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY3hyEgsRX
"Ya, me too," said Mike.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQx2g1Nent
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Jjc3nKyr
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKgo0kvhYr
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo40Tct3X9I
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2TFVLvY2t
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSHT5fpl1B
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCgIYYm8aE
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgfOCqfe68
I didn't even dare try 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ8tng0cwv
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCHMu3RFW6
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmodsdZrnV
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4VMMmHwTa
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh70joON3wp
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr8sd3tJWf
I heard footsteps coming982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jemFCPscZ
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbhSipzyxc
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRhJqLbZEl
look at me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUvdWc32x5
"Are you okay?" he whispered.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjogPrzUTST
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV689mG29qq
I soon felt strong hands982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc6sCvziYa
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gu14mjOsR
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfjqDLngXu
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y5DmgzHg2
"I'm a whole lot better,982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe4zziB4kB
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8CRUGf1K6
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTUaU678fs
"Glad to hear that."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RvoZhq44G
When TOP let go of my shoulders and walked away to take his seat next to Mike, I heard G-Dragon's voice behind me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg1jLmw4kG
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJgPcRcc3Q
I was planning not to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO6D1xMIYA
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSp7CLjgnp
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ARDy8g0ee
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGHTmeQPut
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEIadzAjf5
under the bridge.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDcLBkrnsW
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1aok2GXre
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBWvw0tKtL
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXdPiPrByd
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgiMcQzRg3
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas5CvCeJap
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwbgxRxKJj
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg54UaugDr0
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEtn37aUYW
The waiters soon came 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH222RcyN3z
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6scccSuT5
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHy7h0TY7i
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iQ8xNVgoi
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Ly5k81z7
For a moment, I felt 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssDhUSpHm7
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJCO7BHpbB
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4dNhkFaaY
me to forget that I was ever mad.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlG8QRZp9l
"Mmm, this is so 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN7zJDdRRk
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV097TiffTY
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjMeKW2fXv
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp2M7gv4Ky
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eVOvQeOKL
"Anything for you, Sam,"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaRKVaHkp2
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFYeYmrfmm
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡircSnXZRqh
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Aoqy0fc0I
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFeZmETllr
I had just taken in some982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S0Ul3s7VX
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlws3Ufovl
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmW2w3LxAL
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriW7GVo8LR
just said.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLANaA61ry6
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvVZRJ8zem
"Well, ya," Christine 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGXfoUuJqZ
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVfNX0dWg3
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX47SfclKL
special lunch to lighten your mood."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhajO0kYrFG
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2QdLxkVId
"Thanks for the lunch, 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeyU9WpX9V
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVP6hkPs0z
sweet of you to have come up with this."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcLk8qdxQ0
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODK4gpSg11
I almost felt like 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e12HE7Ezf
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFhSPzyP6W
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrMUTXYjRL
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKra18VUIV
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ3bNBMzaE
turning into rage?982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFELiwLfYd
Oh, goodness. I needed 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbOmLbbi3L
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUazxqxUw4
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhYagd5L5Z
I tried to push aside 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAged5V1nq
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFUHw9z9sU
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDZThPeJyH
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFCPyCYJOt
chocolate moussé.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53py4H54ME
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdonydbsQ5d
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DDZFPirJP
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOeIzHUFD3
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBBGlIB0Vd
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELmf7e78O5
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2Pa2gR4G2
I didn't wait for 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoO07hFAxt
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayCMvwucqA
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFx3JhPLuf
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxYNTdTgCI
heaven.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtILYSxv4we
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2M0ZmkT42
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzjLnsKRx0
"I don't care," I said 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg97u4iD6P
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGY4qgiqcX
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGorbMaLnKD
G-Dragon smiled back at 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs8j5uNfId
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMidIUDfG4T
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHyN1IMvJJ
away.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKHaFRtVeJ
After dessert, we all 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRdJamgxZG
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL63oVr8CQH
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl8RvKExh0
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4sc2T7DUi
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfSmiX7W0o
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDH5VUzH70
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg46vmW7r8b
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zrHxGinxy
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLaAw8SjvV
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcBiXL4EoO
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLmhmvyZTP
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOR2W6zq87
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq33tzlKfiW
"What stuff?" TOP asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrSXA7lvtN
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4NZ0MHqZt
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIRMwto9fc
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OkRyMYNJw
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lc7ZHGS6N
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lNPHpFxQ3
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHTCwk6834
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjUh9TvqdP
"Wait, what's going on?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0iqqGKlSX
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFd3rE7F69
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j8FNrOqN4
"I thought we should all982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis2mq1LKpS
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCYdQxo6bE
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYDsvBkosZ
"But why do we have to put our heads together if there is you and G-Dragon who are better at song writing?" TOP asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbUOhfqO5M
"I don't know, I feel we982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYYTn2T5RX
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm8UFhRl9U
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG3t3u3zdX
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggQIKkIXXO
"I don't get it though,"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdCTeSJrkT
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuZOXrAtwr
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJivyOLOAH
the lyrics?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp2VLxO7TA
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm6zgqGX8Q
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU849SVzd8R
This time, I also raised982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2u6l3oSec
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzH7wfp3H8
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt2NTpyUMu
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYoqen73Nv
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyBuuCfwUN
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6kjAfHlAD
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mZwOgBiEr
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqljp6LfoY8
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHRLe8t6ew
By the way G-Dragon 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrNaYVQ7i7
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM9IK7fSFZ
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyEavETs09
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrgtdZH4DP
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsTm5LJNv0
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxrKlRsVaC
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh5dwg1X8B
"Maybe, it's because you're objecting to my idea and you just want to make up what would be a valid reason for it."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAGFEz8Pge
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KflOgQeNk
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTmR679c5O
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEZgz7w7ei
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9oUbrzRR1
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ537Jr2Nu2x
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHogRK743lg
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvFRq8iise
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrMFIRW9jb
"What truth?" I asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSjXREdmYy
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwW0806SQS
Taeyang was right. I was982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNs3dNvKiv
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JevRWof2D
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1lPSV9C12
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bBN28nn9U
attention.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwyuLoYuwD
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC6V1GEtVa
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VvoeY4UgS
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji5L9ciEiE
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovTgIJR6Ub
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCta9KqqZ9H
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIddrwMTqEL
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0GTQ250jX
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vhGECkEj2
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTobdIN3p9Q
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliza0RMvGy
"But I....." 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWT3u2Yauj
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7MNKXFGtS
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAkfiRb47G
talked way too much, don't you think?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI17D1tunx
That felt like a slap in982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRKhJq4Ypy
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QlE9xrZz2
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhf5m1p8pH
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt8cE3UcJ3
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGF8Oes3Qc
about what I thought was best for the whole group?982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zfucZGFNQ
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqjIrzvoJ7
"That's fine with me," said Mike.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JOoLJuVHb
Everyone else agreed, 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCbNGiSofX
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGZOxGlVxo
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTL71C3Fvl
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvns5ahWJ6N
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1odnyGcbk
B, just in case.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWVyZJL1Pm
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKg1IheHUq
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYr73OvGLJ
"Not now, Sam. We will 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaafK0QdoR
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCo8b8gvqZ
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFABiZkgoG9
gave me goosebumps.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL6ZYA4WF9
"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."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f0L30e8c1
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzZHcXyOHL
One by one everyone 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqEgLcH1dS
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3abezlNkLU
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQYnZGlKXi
appropriate.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEf3g3zqGK
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uX75FkFzu
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtkZgzs9yU
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENoRpQnoPW
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcDpXynCc3
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4HgAg8Pmf
"It's not that. I pissed982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKlZ9P6PWB
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LgH15m4Pv
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCTbC367Ye
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgq6Ko0rag
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MmL0PGBma
Taeyang placed his hand 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r3mWoHnqN
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RVCd0w1qz
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKvjNPFZcQ
I knew I had to hope for982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpavjaHtce
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PcCZbabn9
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfinBAB2g4
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUe9lTBnhn
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAiLVlY95f
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
