The water felt like a 535Please respect copyright.PENANA0iKLpF3iuH
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 535Please respect copyright.PENANAKQrlgWduTT
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAQs5nzozu5y
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 535Please respect copyright.PENANANGIcwQvZAE
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 535Please respect copyright.PENANA7y1GyqVyW5
breathe. 535Please respect copyright.PENANA7yTbQ3iEhT
I pushed myself upwards 535Please respect copyright.PENANADBYW0SmWCJ
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of535Please respect copyright.PENANA54cpMDU9ea
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 535Please respect copyright.PENANA4HqZ0YsUIO
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAzOFVjH5R1E
edge.535Please respect copyright.PENANAMdnfiSMUtb
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.535Please respect copyright.PENANAe0j4lKi8yb
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.535Please respect copyright.PENANAE1SS45IK23
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.535Please respect copyright.PENANAffjRnCdJgn
I looked ridiculously 535Please respect copyright.PENANAkvklMRBBFW
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 535Please respect copyright.PENANAMbXlFzha7C
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 535Please respect copyright.PENANABUdvKd9qvC
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 535Please respect copyright.PENANAZj3BBN0ArY
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 535Please respect copyright.PENANAiO0dcV7BLC
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.535Please respect copyright.PENANAdJwFdAyZQR
I looked around me and 535Please respect copyright.PENANAva2g8DHCGX
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAxxsKjaVZNt
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 535Please respect copyright.PENANA4eUpTciuPc
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 535Please respect copyright.PENANApy19BvofPb
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.535Please respect copyright.PENANAh5CVLEBCRf
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."535Please respect copyright.PENANAJG2LpxglDC
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."535Please respect copyright.PENANAq8Qv2OunTv
I heard Zoey and the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAY7f7aTmdJd
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on535Please respect copyright.PENANAGQUErSAS1h
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.535Please respect copyright.PENANAQlKvpQpsfT
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 535Please respect copyright.PENANABRIVNb3TLR
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's535Please respect copyright.PENANAtabVdKJQXh
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 535Please respect copyright.PENANATDFpPBVc7V
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."535Please respect copyright.PENANAkVFaVF8Br0
"I already told you, I'm535Please respect copyright.PENANA94CcqmnOXU
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I535Please respect copyright.PENANAeglO60lZYs
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 535Please respect copyright.PENANAS3NMffxANA
from anyone.535Please respect copyright.PENANApqWcDNCjP0
I made my way towards GD535Please respect copyright.PENANAsYkQcbBSk2
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what535Please respect copyright.PENANAxqpjqXTwd1
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 535Please respect copyright.PENANAXLHuipvLLF
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.535Please respect copyright.PENANAr3W5CuAACc
"Oh, man, Sam," said 535Please respect copyright.PENANAbSktlJT5LF
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 535Please respect copyright.PENANAAcGDMyCQKF
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAORIg0WtzmF
game. Hope you didn't mind."535Please respect copyright.PENANAfzYHtg1lwg
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."535Please respect copyright.PENANA7Kb3AkhIpV
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."535Please respect copyright.PENANA562R3akeoR
"I told you, our 535Please respect copyright.PENANAbLu6Y3QWFS
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 535Please respect copyright.PENANATE1Z0aDi85
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 535Please respect copyright.PENANAV3s2ao0UH3
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 535Please respect copyright.PENANAjUmnEnfMdo
Daesung.535Please respect copyright.PENANA4wagNqGlcb
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.535Please respect copyright.PENANAYHRI1PT71x
I dialled Lee's number 535Please respect copyright.PENANAHNw24q7iHa
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 535Please respect copyright.PENANA7hKNXuyWBK
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAJblRQC76jX
They would know soon enough.535Please respect copyright.PENANAZgl4GB5xZX
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.535Please respect copyright.PENANAuFq29jLs6b
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.535Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0sKQuQJQj
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAQG2mRouru5
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAaoWfLKnhV4
"No, not yet. But you 535Please respect copyright.PENANAoIt9dyYXfk
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And535Please respect copyright.PENANACP5vQ2h7Uq
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."535Please respect copyright.PENANAs5dHfdGwwy
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."535Please respect copyright.PENANA8VNGr8pwDY
"Okay, I'll be waiting."535Please respect copyright.PENANA68Wq2yiehJ
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.535Please respect copyright.PENANA4OLkiRaZsp
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"535Please respect copyright.PENANA8GggrssSsv
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."535Please respect copyright.PENANAEBaxm1CztP
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 535Please respect copyright.PENANANAWkDHzzhI
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."535Please respect copyright.PENANAx2cTxH7LIs
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.535Please respect copyright.PENANAa6YajWoF66
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."535Please respect copyright.PENANAWzIp6dtGiQ
I shook my head. I was 535Please respect copyright.PENANAp5euEaQHSD
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 535Please respect copyright.PENANAz5DAy6f0XU
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 535Please respect copyright.PENANAZwPZgw0MKb
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.535Please respect copyright.PENANARgP5kAWX7w
After walking a few feet535Please respect copyright.PENANAKnnwE8qeYn
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 535Please respect copyright.PENANAevUe3XG0NN
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was535Please respect copyright.PENANAJQjO4LvupZ
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 535Please respect copyright.PENANAhWPRM9hYn9
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.535Please respect copyright.PENANAPpyfEa6OUI
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANArJb6SP37WR
None of them answered as535Please respect copyright.PENANAZhQ3H9QbU9
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAS4JQec029d
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 535Please respect copyright.PENANAU6pfe9GGAn
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.535Please respect copyright.PENANAakblzgdfKL
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.535Please respect copyright.PENANA67E12bRwwN
"I wasn't going to say 535Please respect copyright.PENANAfXBXJ2wcsT
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing535Please respect copyright.PENANANCobpFBJlt
you would want to hear from me is advice."535Please respect copyright.PENANAuwkBxxiEB6
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAykGlEEJHCp
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.535Please respect copyright.PENANA5HNl3AMX6t
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."535Please respect copyright.PENANATOeW8hH5I4
"I'm still upset, though."535Please respect copyright.PENANAYAsaQehF6Q
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."535Please respect copyright.PENANA3xOs42b7J9
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."535Please respect copyright.PENANAQOsgGZFFLg
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."535Please respect copyright.PENANAc7UHVjj1pi
I gave TOP an assuring 535Please respect copyright.PENANAOfpn0hX2VO
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way535Please respect copyright.PENANAcZvToe2xSc
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAjkGwk6gc55
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I535Please respect copyright.PENANAr1ppzbsscI
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't535Please respect copyright.PENANA4uTvudAF8X
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 535Please respect copyright.PENANAEUUsItG78h
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.535Please respect copyright.PENANA3T97MJ0hI0
We all found ourselves 535Please respect copyright.PENANAi9EbCHDTZe
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins535Please respect copyright.PENANAdAbP4Br4jG
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 535Please respect copyright.PENANAINStCLhw1i
were waiting for me. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAt3tqpb7xux
"Hey, Sam, you don't 535Please respect copyright.PENANANjBaF6MZYb
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 535Please respect copyright.PENANAWAE2Uy0QMV
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.535Please respect copyright.PENANAydGl8UxtR5
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."535Please respect copyright.PENANA5QrfLCdziC
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 535Please respect copyright.PENANAAfNmwyecsZ
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAIKrheaLA2j
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch535Please respect copyright.PENANAxCt75ZxoK7
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAIPD7JQIT8h
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.535Please respect copyright.PENANAWaczPpRNT0
I had my eyes closed 535Please respect copyright.PENANAUpdw0tKQyE
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found535Please respect copyright.PENANAXX6gT9H9rf
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.535Please respect copyright.PENANA9IWTPZv6qs
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."535Please respect copyright.PENANA57D3JUS7iz
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.535Please respect copyright.PENANAzVKLARzqVU
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."535Please respect copyright.PENANAvHpTqmLwba
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."535Please respect copyright.PENANAcT0rnnEe2w
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."535Please respect copyright.PENANAUreVidkq3u
Taeyang led me to his 535Please respect copyright.PENANAsyrHMI5KhS
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 535Please respect copyright.PENANAdYMngUVxn0
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 535Please respect copyright.PENANAMqPgM6F77M
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.535Please respect copyright.PENANAKIzHOoOLP8
In about thirty minutes,535Please respect copyright.PENANAw1JiE6GbNj
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 535Please respect copyright.PENANApDlf3lE8PB
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 535Please respect copyright.PENANA4J37CUwUfx
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 535Please respect copyright.PENANAUWWlkl1RT0
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 535Please respect copyright.PENANAIavrAmvI2A
appeared out of the elevator.535Please respect copyright.PENANAjoG9Rl1mSO
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAk2eEqaGZ4z
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.535Please respect copyright.PENANApdy1Nf9nDR
Lee who stood behind 535Please respect copyright.PENANA8v0YvDpbbC
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 535Please respect copyright.PENANA7eoh6cJZa9
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 535Please respect copyright.PENANA4ozc1ESesb
other things in mind.535Please respect copyright.PENANAwCVLNoKXCR
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAzrtsF8fB6k
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 535Please respect copyright.PENANAAC07uAW8WN
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 535Please respect copyright.PENANARX2Sb6GXFg
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.535Please respect copyright.PENANAb1KvyXZKkf
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAhjWSzpwDye
"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."535Please respect copyright.PENANAEr5Mzrg7We
There was an awkward 535Please respect copyright.PENANAN7NojraN92
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,535Please respect copyright.PENANAmXByGMxgzD
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.535Please respect copyright.PENANAk4jfA3C7cJ
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAJSRYfW3zb8
"Well, I hear the press 535Please respect copyright.PENANA6IwtVXEsBK
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon535Please respect copyright.PENANAkn5zfkkQQp
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."535Please respect copyright.PENANAiFA4BGqNoK
"That won't be 535Please respect copyright.PENANA3bQXoFo9Tf
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 535Please respect copyright.PENANArIvyp4jHEk
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to535Please respect copyright.PENANAKQzcT9aVNO
go to the press looking all wet."535Please respect copyright.PENANAZXLQ0uExg8
I breathed out a sigh of535Please respect copyright.PENANAhKYUeotnqo
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 535Please respect copyright.PENANA7oh7444OnY
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.535Please respect copyright.PENANAVexThr9yPM
"In the meantime, you go535Please respect copyright.PENANAAB5c2JqkVr
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 535Please respect copyright.PENANAmG8XY6TOae
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."535Please respect copyright.PENANAveoXnsRoBa
I nodded my head in 535Please respect copyright.PENANArnP1lkWisC
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 535Please respect copyright.PENANAMNm4weOHk3
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.535Please respect copyright.PENANAKOX6ZusL4i
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.535Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZA4pAgwgu
"Alright," I said 535Please respect copyright.PENANAEpRJfGcxtk
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 535Please respect copyright.PENANAO9nQbRnOYj
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like535Please respect copyright.PENANA76a0PL8knW
I was only making things worse.535Please respect copyright.PENANAjHYIvYUJG8
Before I turned to leave535Please respect copyright.PENANADNiZCaHULS
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 535Please respect copyright.PENANAfU70YvGe7T
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 535Please respect copyright.PENANAJUYb7yvPFE
one.535Please respect copyright.PENANAVsayOVub7W
***535Please respect copyright.PENANAYlug4zEImJ
I sat on the couch all 535Please respect copyright.PENANAbVrh2Qpp6B
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued535Please respect copyright.PENANAzBNJLNjqlC
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"535Please respect copyright.PENANA0u16hcI0gW
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 535Please respect copyright.PENANASziViuRRRZ
I had a box of paper 535Please respect copyright.PENANAS56VsL6SXl
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my535Please respect copyright.PENANAhZxMyy1MPT
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 535Please respect copyright.PENANABRvSMXn1yj
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.535Please respect copyright.PENANALj0tYg1Ra8
I continued watching the535Please respect copyright.PENANASIWn3FhbHj
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 535Please respect copyright.PENANAnQLVtxeOb7
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.535Please respect copyright.PENANAa7QEjuoeyt
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.535Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4cnVEzMw3
"Never better," I said, 535Please respect copyright.PENANApC5QG5er02
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 535Please respect copyright.PENANAJURN6cW87f
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."535Please respect copyright.PENANAvOdAg3TLjU
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.535Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZTprkDgr8
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.535Please respect copyright.PENANAQklTOaVA3S
"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.535Please respect copyright.PENANAXqdbSYaASQ
"And the others?" 535Please respect copyright.PENANASEcVZ5m5is
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.535Please respect copyright.PENANAhIUKT0kKMz
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.535Please respect copyright.PENANAz0uzthXroQ
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAfdIjFlJbKX
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.535Please respect copyright.PENANAQKOcFajpYJ
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.535Please respect copyright.PENANAEkfa7f4sPz
"You don't know or you are?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAnlxAElTxXr
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.535Please respect copyright.PENANA14YlVU5zZK
"I don't know, Tae," I 535Please respect copyright.PENANA6HKKwakzuG
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 535Please respect copyright.PENANAm12XALffvD
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 535Please respect copyright.PENANAzOJzkLjR1l
forget all that happened yesterday."535Please respect copyright.PENANAT0NhIS2iY5
"Ya, I understand. They 535Please respect copyright.PENANAtn5ILz2gZB
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 535Please respect copyright.PENANA25dznHSJKb
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were535Please respect copyright.PENANAsluECyDqlQ
going to get."535Please respect copyright.PENANAQDzTq2vApH
I looked on at Taeyang 535Please respect copyright.PENANAGYcTDkuRgj
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 535Please respect copyright.PENANAmTuQpaMPdP
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 535Please respect copyright.PENANADvwnPErPjd
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 535Please respect copyright.PENANAjFLX8AipMx
who was as tough as nails.535Please respect copyright.PENANAKZWeRkQwqW
Last night, I took the 535Please respect copyright.PENANA4N3R8TkFPw
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 535Please respect copyright.PENANAcD4oHSnfOV
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 535Please respect copyright.PENANAOx0DRwFPJp
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 535Please respect copyright.PENANAQfrTgEEKgk
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAMOIa49eQXP
Apparently, the managers535Please respect copyright.PENANAa5siLct8cD
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 535Please respect copyright.PENANAb2Hp55V8TZ
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought535Please respect copyright.PENANAURKMxWiqQ7
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 535Please respect copyright.PENANAMlu51dT7X1
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 535Please respect copyright.PENANA1UEPvmu3yF
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 535Please respect copyright.PENANAv6SwR4wOEk
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 535Please respect copyright.PENANAtbJX596iLk
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 535Please respect copyright.PENANAnjg3czgW08
and the reporters.535Please respect copyright.PENANAKtErCBrrW6
After my confrontation 535Please respect copyright.PENANA49toTmK7wv
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I535Please respect copyright.PENANA1RUQgtNFok
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,535Please respect copyright.PENANAvkBu1CdMo8
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.535Please respect copyright.PENANAaLHfkBYekW
"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."535Please respect copyright.PENANAntwFmDe4iX
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.535Please respect copyright.PENANAN6Np0LaJoC
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."535Please respect copyright.PENANASlzrMs5Cyt
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."535Please respect copyright.PENANACR96ISKcak
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."535Please respect copyright.PENANAyVOKEtLLq5
"Have you tried talking to GD?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAjjXJpKQRog
"To be honest, I haven't535Please respect copyright.PENANAtSesGkgdr8
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 535Please respect copyright.PENANAMldWUIXqL4
slap him in the face if I see him."535Please respect copyright.PENANAC2hxwOImX3
"I don't doubt that."535Please respect copyright.PENANAPPl3H56LAa
"And thank goodness my 535Please respect copyright.PENANAnzjGn39Z02
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 535Please respect copyright.PENANAOLcZXa3d3V
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I535Please respect copyright.PENANAwdcAxGwnP6
want to do is watch some TV."535Please respect copyright.PENANAKkPjO6ZmEy
I quickly drank my 535Please respect copyright.PENANA1wGWvhfJeY
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 535Please respect copyright.PENANAco3C1b0g7c
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 535Please respect copyright.PENANA9DB77nai2n
to.535Please respect copyright.PENANAjkDhXgLJmf
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.535Please respect copyright.PENANAlRmLGFGL5z
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.535Please respect copyright.PENANAL2uhS6PqVm
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAyyhXRVuknm
"Nope."535Please respect copyright.PENANAjfGb8UGizz
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.535Please respect copyright.PENANAM89qPkYaox
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAUa5kuOhPw2
Taeyang didn't say 535Please respect copyright.PENANAKVkitnatU8
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened535Please respect copyright.PENANAkn8EpxIkIG
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."535Please respect copyright.PENANAyRab2lyKQX
"I know you fought or 535Please respect copyright.PENANAyEvMXhVQeq
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAg1lLDIp1wM
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."535Please respect copyright.PENANAfvrDKt5mMe
I noticed Taeyang smile 535Please respect copyright.PENANAYMlPUBokhN
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 535Please respect copyright.PENANAZFizIUVhzn
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 535Please respect copyright.PENANA6xsbiIii4b
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.535Please respect copyright.PENANAmhG0PSFmiE
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.535Please respect copyright.PENANAr6LaVWeHaK
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."535Please respect copyright.PENANAzUt4XXofx7
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?535Please respect copyright.PENANAPvWsJlzmAF
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.535Please respect copyright.PENANAks7zFdKdjg
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."535Please respect copyright.PENANAgPtk1uX7Iv
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."535Please respect copyright.PENANAgQMkv58KWm
Before I could finish my535Please respect copyright.PENANAvDOvxmXOW2
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 535Please respect copyright.PENANAJu82bhLQlI
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.535Please respect copyright.PENANAGdnhdEqkie
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.535Please respect copyright.PENANA9fyYeQRz4o
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.535Please respect copyright.PENANAn3ZClLS1k9
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."535Please respect copyright.PENANAzHAGpLUcML
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."535Please respect copyright.PENANALLvg2yGYU2
"Yep, cheers to that." 535Please respect copyright.PENANAxI9bjCNANU
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAgbTr1gM4HB
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.535Please respect copyright.PENANARYMO6mrTZo
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAY5DOxHNlXC
"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."535Please respect copyright.PENANA3GRkW75iHM
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."535Please respect copyright.PENANAV3eEI8l7f8
"Wow, that sounds personal."535Please respect copyright.PENANAfWAwFqj6FR
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."535Please respect copyright.PENANAEUq5v1xgay
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAr9pVo4nWIZ
"I think I've a better 535Please respect copyright.PENANA6uIvVnIihD
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 535Please respect copyright.PENANAQgQhi29qHR
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 535Please respect copyright.PENANARO5ERzkKcs
lyrics. It's better that way."535Please respect copyright.PENANAgSfztaC5am
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"535Please respect copyright.PENANARPKxjEAaqh
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."535Please respect copyright.PENANAKvz4eTHpzf
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."535Please respect copyright.PENANA1HLQs33dkP
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."535Please respect copyright.PENANAUzmK4yodKQ
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."535Please respect copyright.PENANARJpXHMLD4a
"Haha, good point."535Please respect copyright.PENANAIetgWpwDzX
Taeyang and I continued 535Please respect copyright.PENANA8pmhzVAcq6
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 535Please respect copyright.PENANAJCrs9rEvIY
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 535Please respect copyright.PENANAxVScPmp1U0
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we535Please respect copyright.PENANAhqf1pFScEm
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 535Please respect copyright.PENANAcAr6k07uIj
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 535Please respect copyright.PENANAp8XD3Anqln
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 535Please respect copyright.PENANAOCurfCT0IW
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 535Please respect copyright.PENANA2bahmUzWj2
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.535Please respect copyright.PENANAs4hNXNC9f2
While the two of us were535Please respect copyright.PENANAUTzESbbM9L
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,535Please respect copyright.PENANAvFcSwjByqv
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAG8fG6TkFpN
I quickly went over to 535Please respect copyright.PENANAR7bCCIduTs
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was535Please respect copyright.PENANA3PQd8CS7EZ
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung535Please respect copyright.PENANAoR7Ow5sLSX
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could535Please respect copyright.PENANAmwah8GusLc
come up and I put the receiver down.535Please respect copyright.PENANADlq56HcsM2
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."535Please respect copyright.PENANA8NfDgGGB7b
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."535Please respect copyright.PENANAAtrLCBoU5s
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."535Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zpd3dSmQ5
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.535Please respect copyright.PENANAjZgjUI0BQz
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.535Please respect copyright.PENANAXXq7Sx8sqP
"Eww, that pillow 535Please respect copyright.PENANA4wkArWoRm1
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 535Please respect copyright.PENANASMBfNDdGGC
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.535Please respect copyright.PENANAut2fqU1W2h
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.535Please respect copyright.PENANAKBjHwLoGV2
A few seconds later, we 535Please respect copyright.PENANAfxpzFzgAfK
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 535Please respect copyright.PENANA5nNfT5E8TW
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 535Please respect copyright.PENANAmNwqTVLotj
holding a box of chocolates.535Please respect copyright.PENANAVS4sUXmB3C
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.535Please respect copyright.PENANAdinRAsLcwY
"Ah, no, the panda is a 535Please respect copyright.PENANAgvoxSEHUqe
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 535Please respect copyright.PENANAErOgydmVMp
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAKWksMI1l49
same time.535Please respect copyright.PENANAcnjh9AIFAs
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."535Please respect copyright.PENANAfI4pVZUZXg
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.535Please respect copyright.PENANAUmSJikgoE5
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAM4XDU7joLm
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."535Please respect copyright.PENANASA0cV7fkeS
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.535Please respect copyright.PENANAcswfCwrX2H
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.535Please respect copyright.PENANAhKGgHiwxQ4
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."535Please respect copyright.PENANAxDkUhhHapA
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.535Please respect copyright.PENANAC16Lu8TqGX
"For goodness sake, I 535Please respect copyright.PENANACdyEXPYjRE
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 535Please respect copyright.PENANA6qgn2XwOSB
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 535Please respect copyright.PENANAVFzOefvImV
scared with me."535Please respect copyright.PENANA1ubC2Sn3Ju
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.535Please respect copyright.PENANA487QFf25i9
I took the panda in my 535Please respect copyright.PENANAza55kSlfqq
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 535Please respect copyright.PENANA3NFkuaPEv1
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 535Please respect copyright.PENANAixViGm1Ry5
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 535Please respect copyright.PENANA8enka4NVaC
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.535Please respect copyright.PENANAZvOsRPVTIG
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."535Please respect copyright.PENANAdIPc5qTUr2
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."535Please respect copyright.PENANAw6Zjck32I1
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAnVmAfw6E56
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.535Please respect copyright.PENANAXwYDZqDHrQ
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."535Please respect copyright.PENANAQPxDtChVNv
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I535Please respect copyright.PENANA5c1J01TkWo
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 535Please respect copyright.PENANA6CisIYCHH1
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 535Please respect copyright.PENANAjNbPv9nRH4
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."535Please respect copyright.PENANA5MuUGKtRiV
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."535Please respect copyright.PENANASVIykFueBG
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."535Please respect copyright.PENANAuPNlPICz2P
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.535Please respect copyright.PENANAZK76zQ5EJt
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."535Please respect copyright.PENANAB9lmzpXWqU
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.535Please respect copyright.PENANABSdYNKZD5K
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."535Please respect copyright.PENANA74Z5EwHVs8
"Ya, I do."535Please respect copyright.PENANAGPjXSdidPR
While the four of us 535Please respect copyright.PENANAxl97lOsn8V
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 535Please respect copyright.PENANACeIeiNw3Cu
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 535Please respect copyright.PENANASQ4NO3gL1u
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 535Please respect copyright.PENANAHa0M1u7gy8
said:535Please respect copyright.PENANALTmDukiazu
"Hey, Zoey." 535Please respect copyright.PENANAY7hXYFPkHd
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAnKrgA4kljc
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."535Please respect copyright.PENANAiNHLELBBY0
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.535Please respect copyright.PENANArEIVhUWwEg
"It's good you came to 535Please respect copyright.PENANAdU5Eu1pc9r
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 535Please respect copyright.PENANAdRAUybvrZm
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 535Please respect copyright.PENANADIjo2t1gEi
couch.535Please respect copyright.PENANAhighgbrIU6
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"535Please respect copyright.PENANAw28wwgEV2k
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"535Please respect copyright.PENANAJTdxGM8NsK
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAzHSZ7j5kn0
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAcYrs0KxmCI
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.535Please respect copyright.PENANAyIaftoV0hf
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.535Please respect copyright.PENANAHlX1GuBrxm
I tugged at my panda's 535Please respect copyright.PENANAJCGmAh9Yvm
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it535Please respect copyright.PENANAjGV9qqpxEm
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking535Please respect copyright.PENANAkIibhHF5Jj
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.535Please respect copyright.PENANAuB7HgKG8iJ
The Toxins came back to 535Please respect copyright.PENANAxrhcmQVYYU
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held535Please respect copyright.PENANAxdFE1sFVwv
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine535Please respect copyright.PENANAcaau9m6NtB
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.535Please respect copyright.PENANAssZnfJcwPG
For a moment, no one 535Please respect copyright.PENANAwNUy857QTf
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 535Please respect copyright.PENANAyFtzSxNh0C
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.535Please respect copyright.PENANA9fPyyFtswe
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.535Please respect copyright.PENANAa05ToiskxS
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAIADbImvMS6
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.535Please respect copyright.PENANAK6dKql4x5U
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."535Please respect copyright.PENANAbquvZ2yhRD
I stared up at the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAsdd5QUJcdR
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 535Please respect copyright.PENANASRTDbT21kk
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.535Please respect copyright.PENANAdhUasffET6
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."535Please respect copyright.PENANAAkdpz2W4Uq
When Zoey tried to reach535Please respect copyright.PENANAT4qiDQR5pl
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 535Please respect copyright.PENANAci4Plu6Uog
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.535Please respect copyright.PENANAFa6MqovRpw
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.535Please respect copyright.PENANAjHwETBKFG2
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.535Please respect copyright.PENANARXpDZaUeie
Zoey looked hurt with 535Please respect copyright.PENANAEaswYoWG5X
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 535Please respect copyright.PENANADftDVpzgz3
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.535Please respect copyright.PENANAtZaeL2EgQV
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6ohrEbRk2
I didn't answer as I put535Please respect copyright.PENANAYjHzLSiysV
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I535Please respect copyright.PENANA60NsZoKG6n
was still mad, especially at Zoey.535Please respect copyright.PENANAn2avWozQ7i
"I know it's a little 535Please respect copyright.PENANAoUhwHPpbWL
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 535Please respect copyright.PENANAK4uykh1ITK
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 535Please respect copyright.PENANARGUqfpdFeQ
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 535Please respect copyright.PENANAeupJUt4Tcx
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAgUyRUMCaRm
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 535Please respect copyright.PENANAJlCPiTe1Bm
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."535Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gom55TbnK
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.535Please respect copyright.PENANAY3LC0la7aG
"I don't like it when 535Please respect copyright.PENANA2CvYo1pCDy
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 535Please respect copyright.PENANAHh1ca2Gf3J
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 535Please respect copyright.PENANAZCMKD1GDTL
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 535Please respect copyright.PENANAzDRUMai4dF
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 535Please respect copyright.PENANALQGV9br3uI
sorry, Sam."535Please respect copyright.PENANArVq6quZChl
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."535Please respect copyright.PENANA4b8oD4E4JP
"I'm sorry too," said 535Please respect copyright.PENANAlm8oDl6DUm
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 535Please respect copyright.PENANAG9I71o7C5z
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 535Please respect copyright.PENANAlOSozYu0BA
for you to talk to us again."535Please respect copyright.PENANACDyeq4UrVk
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 535Please respect copyright.PENANAdW3tB2xPhQ
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 535Please respect copyright.PENANA2JV03KMaA0
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 535Please respect copyright.PENANAAh4axe5Z19
leader."535Please respect copyright.PENANALRLZGSLFXW
I still didn't say a 535Please respect copyright.PENANAA3FeDWrq1C
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 535Please respect copyright.PENANAqBrvQz54y2
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 535Please respect copyright.PENANAYiu96HziEA
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 535Please respect copyright.PENANAuBOOL7aNNR
them despite the awful things they put me through.535Please respect copyright.PENANAz9drvE6GV0
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 535Please respect copyright.PENANA5A7J5TYgHm
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."535Please respect copyright.PENANAz5ix0qkeUH
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.535Please respect copyright.PENANAKctMNd6aTj
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.535Please respect copyright.PENANAoqB4anAOnW
"I'm mad and pretty much535Please respect copyright.PENANAd3KzOA6C90
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 535Please respect copyright.PENANA8yt2H3q58b
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."535Please respect copyright.PENANAbqoiphgobx
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAInUZExqwvy
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."535Please respect copyright.PENANAkQIgNKSljG
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.535Please respect copyright.PENANAQKACnhiQz4
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 535Please respect copyright.PENANArluOxdH1vS
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 535Please respect copyright.PENANA5gF9guX3aO
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."535Please respect copyright.PENANAGtojw7C4uF
"Ah, you! Always acting 535Please respect copyright.PENANADSsSS2NzlD
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 535Please respect copyright.PENANA6olpY0F61x
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 535Please respect copyright.PENANA5Th7I3shl6
catch it anyway."535Please respect copyright.PENANA04kenelKQw
Christine, Daniel and 535Please respect copyright.PENANAqSgalw6jlj
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 535Please respect copyright.PENANApEConOOwzE
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 535Please respect copyright.PENANAtbFFdJyLPA
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.535Please respect copyright.PENANAvHC9Gw1ndL
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.535Please respect copyright.PENANAK9R4YtCLRX
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.535Please respect copyright.PENANApYcRbLqhlJ
"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...."535Please respect copyright.PENANAxGTGjypbii
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.535Please respect copyright.PENANAFjxbWZzZo6
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."535Please respect copyright.PENANAhRg8UITaGG
"Don't worry, you won't 535Please respect copyright.PENANAhaWWY00wzv
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 535Please respect copyright.PENANAGdJh4jGXtR
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.535Please respect copyright.PENANARJwYismhNP
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.535Please respect copyright.PENANAM8EZ04Rn7C
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.535Please respect copyright.PENANAm3ezQ1X7cm
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAnRU5tgAwGd
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."535Please respect copyright.PENANAJu4zqjcFRx
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.535Please respect copyright.PENANAQxsIP6MvxD
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAO3ldckD4as
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"535Please respect copyright.PENANASXaK9kQlZV
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."535Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ5kQGkKT3
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.535Please respect copyright.PENANAuwSm15SUAc
At that moment, I had 535Please respect copyright.PENANAWZmKTPMoWD
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.535Please respect copyright.PENANACNDV3P3CxF
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.535Please respect copyright.PENANA079fCdsK4j
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANA3WtGcAeaPr
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.535Please respect copyright.PENANAlaQw4aOYPF
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."535Please respect copyright.PENANAKnoebhXbQs
Zoey got the box of 535Please respect copyright.PENANAJeBoMqruxC
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 535Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6xPEkRSdv
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.535Please respect copyright.PENANA5D3p1hbh0z
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.535Please respect copyright.PENANAa9XmDF1iDU
I was in the passage as I535Please respect copyright.PENANAkJpJdp4JSe
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 535Please respect copyright.PENANAZdyZNBIouk
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed535Please respect copyright.PENANACxjBERIJAQ
in what felt like sadness.535Please respect copyright.PENANA224aA9Yp6c
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.535Please respect copyright.PENANAbawqMiDW0C
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."535Please respect copyright.PENANA3xNr92OWaH
I heard his footsteps 535Please respect copyright.PENANA0VqskYyj1p
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAhi9v4ncb68
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.535Please respect copyright.PENANA4KPUmPKCi2
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAY1ePvKF86b
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANArIOc5omwuy
"Are we really do this right now?"535Please respect copyright.PENANATAfi3TYhLW
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 535Please respect copyright.PENANA8IHDexhuUa
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.535Please respect copyright.PENANAv1y3YNcCWj
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAXFuVTadCml
"Nope." 535Please respect copyright.PENANAUwHeMFVxU3
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."535Please respect copyright.PENANA5jJh3AvbbP
My eyes almost felt like535Please respect copyright.PENANAhPwgqq31LL
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 535Please respect copyright.PENANAAk8icWUMVG
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.535Please respect copyright.PENANARBAfcI1NyC
I turned to look at him 535Please respect copyright.PENANAMXkl49jvYd
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 535Please respect copyright.PENANAVRXjCLLzxY
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.535Please respect copyright.PENANAxgjwIb3Kuk
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.535Please respect copyright.PENANAkGs8IfzWLn
"That you're surrounded 535Please respect copyright.PENANA4fl7j7GKq4
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 535Please respect copyright.PENANAuprXQ4dtWV
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 535Please respect copyright.PENANATtBdpSAaRy
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."535Please respect copyright.PENANAbchvG04XD7
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 535Please respect copyright.PENANAVMtyM2tVep
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."535Please respect copyright.PENANACMGG8icdPH
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAPd21BBgdat
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."535Please respect copyright.PENANASMhkrZU1cM
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."535Please respect copyright.PENANAUmTQB8sUwv
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAv0n243LLoj
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."535Please respect copyright.PENANAy3zzp3yHQO
Apparently, I couldn't 535Please respect copyright.PENANAIsRM3ILtmQ
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 535Please respect copyright.PENANAeMpbIMf80b
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAPkAlUjncpz
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 535Please respect copyright.PENANAPSDyueMX6e
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 535Please respect copyright.PENANAuvEpfJ7wBp
death.535Please respect copyright.PENANAYhXRKc3aTS
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.535Please respect copyright.PENANA00brtx7DEL
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."535Please respect copyright.PENANAKIuGM856ME
Taeyang folded his arms 535Please respect copyright.PENANApyTnTojrjn
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think535Please respect copyright.PENANAxF5Ju4KMFS
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."535Please respect copyright.PENANA8FZ9C009HL
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.535Please respect copyright.PENANA9Va4H8884c
"You're may think you're535Please respect copyright.PENANARf7ycOYnwG
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 535Please respect copyright.PENANALQxc7DbtXc
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 535Please respect copyright.PENANAyYLO3HNrtQ
but feeling hurt."535Please respect copyright.PENANAO9Fldmlet2
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.535Please respect copyright.PENANAhB30LQL2SD
"But I wouldn't feel 535Please respect copyright.PENANAWiL6pwGIJe
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 535Please respect copyright.PENANA3qp7FUgZVL
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 535Please respect copyright.PENANAtpF99bSchR
at Taeyang.535Please respect copyright.PENANAeC4El57pnh
Taeyang gave me that 535Please respect copyright.PENANAIv1cG1Leea
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 535Please respect copyright.PENANAQFSh7h9STa
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 535Please respect copyright.PENANARWsu2U0YXr
while in return, he nodded.535Please respect copyright.PENANAj8pj1rLWTs
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 535Please respect copyright.PENANARoCP961vYK
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."535Please respect copyright.PENANATuaLALiZpe
I didn't say a word as I535Please respect copyright.PENANATa0dfxGTLH
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my535Please respect copyright.PENANAieLy6MgDd8
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 535Please respect copyright.PENANA5znfYVQ08S
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 535Please respect copyright.PENANADljjfmhhC7
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.535Please respect copyright.PENANAZR8jdA2epo
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."535Please respect copyright.PENANACIQsxJTBMj
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."535Please respect copyright.PENANAaW84BqtDSD
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."535Please respect copyright.PENANAwDCovqdSo5
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"535Please respect copyright.PENANA5eLMdGukNc
If there was ever a way I535Please respect copyright.PENANAb3ppFzhbxn
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 535Please respect copyright.PENANAIzKMGsxPj7
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 535Please respect copyright.PENANAILKB2PFhU6
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.535Please respect copyright.PENANAys2XS5FrxA
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 535Please respect copyright.PENANA6HM0VYKzQp
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 535Please respect copyright.PENANA1jJd93zyRc
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.535Please respect copyright.PENANAlNu4jkUBcu
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.535Please respect copyright.PENANAiUxHXwSfo5
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAGnVOoCnCB7
"Well, I'm just asking,"535Please respect copyright.PENANARAU5K2uSAf
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,535Please respect copyright.PENANAOf3VRmkM2M
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."535Please respect copyright.PENANArbIGravs5d
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.535Please respect copyright.PENANAoyS9V7vy3C
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.535Please respect copyright.PENANAfSMm7pKVSe
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.535Please respect copyright.PENANAIxgmgon2BO
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.535Please respect copyright.PENANAG6fOaj3OfT
I pressed the button 535Please respect copyright.PENANAOQxRotxljs
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 535Please respect copyright.PENANAXCWanjwrXJ
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 535Please respect copyright.PENANAwRada9Ox14
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.535Please respect copyright.PENANAODouuvYQDI
We went to the main 535Please respect copyright.PENANAFH198UA2Uj
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for535Please respect copyright.PENANAAvkGzlKOBT
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 535Please respect copyright.PENANAIQdZJbxax1
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.535Please respect copyright.PENANAzym5MVvV4L
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.535Please respect copyright.PENANAJoSOb2JmYW
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAlkPtiQs8Lt
"To be honest, we just 535Please respect copyright.PENANAhAqFDYFWmn
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAKzkIhhPhHx
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."535Please respect copyright.PENANAhiqTxD9VQG
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.535Please respect copyright.PENANAytwVlKcNxI
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.535Please respect copyright.PENANAuk6WI4HKPI
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.535Please respect copyright.PENANAhAkrlr0eGC
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.535Please respect copyright.PENANAGBkEKURlin
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.535Please respect copyright.PENANA8RdzStNixK
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.535Please respect copyright.PENANAyvDYyqYvXz
"Nah, I don't think so,"535Please respect copyright.PENANAKaxJxBOyKS
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so535Please respect copyright.PENANARb05mk9dwW
he would be treating me like that."535Please respect copyright.PENANAp8PuSTttXt
"Mmm, I don't think so,"535Please respect copyright.PENANAPHKu4BUdEI
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 535Please respect copyright.PENANAAuqHvZzrOp
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAUMRmcMyn6s
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."535Please respect copyright.PENANAhlEQKYgZWN
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.535Please respect copyright.PENANAkKHahZSOsV
"Then, stop trying to make one."535Please respect copyright.PENANA9JPPeGOFMT
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."535Please respect copyright.PENANAFyI0H4Lwyz
"Ya, me too," said Mike.535Please respect copyright.PENANAjI9UvlGweX
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.535Please respect copyright.PENANANhKEUWvMan
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"535Please respect copyright.PENANA9e4n9mmLVc
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.535Please respect copyright.PENANAqsgPXp0LQG
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."535Please respect copyright.PENANAoVQ0j0kf2E
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAFy1OLoHgRp
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.535Please respect copyright.PENANA5LvZ7oNY7E
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."535Please respect copyright.PENANAs4qEOK1vzU
I didn't even dare try 535Please respect copyright.PENANAysHopzFvJ1
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 535Please respect copyright.PENANAFgV6ySoBlj
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.535Please respect copyright.PENANA3804yJW79g
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 535Please respect copyright.PENANA23ePvV2Lw1
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAJFQTRDJx5L
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.535Please respect copyright.PENANAiiEytrWIq4
I heard footsteps coming535Please respect copyright.PENANAexUfvDvpOn
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 535Please respect copyright.PENANAeg3LY7Zu8R
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 535Please respect copyright.PENANA7tzS6NDiaC
look at me.535Please respect copyright.PENANA8OWXRYqbNh
"Are you okay?" he whispered.535Please respect copyright.PENANAuGBsGjYc5d
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.535Please respect copyright.PENANAhdNrpNtUg9
I soon felt strong hands535Please respect copyright.PENANALB1Ar46Z34
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD535Please respect copyright.PENANAzyHqjgDE81
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.535Please respect copyright.PENANAQAdnkVT48m
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"535Please respect copyright.PENANA0T4DgxIbu3
"I'm a whole lot better,535Please respect copyright.PENANAEIzsLxb1Zc
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 535Please respect copyright.PENANAIbrOJRHlCr
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.535Please respect copyright.PENANAINTDKAHSvR
"Glad to hear that."535Please respect copyright.PENANAmjcHwYYNKp
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.535Please respect copyright.PENANAten3bIWWME
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."535Please respect copyright.PENANAEQrocOBvDe
I was planning not to 535Please respect copyright.PENANAhpjb9AwIvu
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 535Please respect copyright.PENANA5tt3qDnE6J
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 535Please respect copyright.PENANAjMbKPvtRjh
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to535Please respect copyright.PENANAHM9c9Y1dOP
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 535Please respect copyright.PENANAzqULAeJZ70
under the bridge.535Please respect copyright.PENANAn1uHgEnFan
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."535Please respect copyright.PENANAUS1tBTSjTR
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAmcp00YgxEz
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."535Please respect copyright.PENANA5myn11mg1T
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."535Please respect copyright.PENANAFXdew3WYum
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.535Please respect copyright.PENANA7i3bF5mMuK
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.535Please respect copyright.PENANA9qYlik4IpE
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAGWijkXvw2Q
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."535Please respect copyright.PENANAvc0IYPqyE1
The waiters soon came 535Please respect copyright.PENANA4VWvuchzAx
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.535Please respect copyright.PENANA0lZq0Nxopf
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 535Please respect copyright.PENANAqiNQTXz3uy
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 535Please respect copyright.PENANAZfmJegqO2a
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.535Please respect copyright.PENANAShdPCqdgOg
For a moment, I felt 535Please respect copyright.PENANAVbwXWcSDYK
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAlPLjaUZG3b
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 535Please respect copyright.PENANAO5yekegljZ
me to forget that I was ever mad.535Please respect copyright.PENANAsct3gGCexB
"Mmm, this is so 535Please respect copyright.PENANAc8eI11qdS3
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 535Please respect copyright.PENANAZxsVfCXgyh
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."535Please respect copyright.PENANAHA7wPTYRIK
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."535Please respect copyright.PENANAjk9VEF5TJW
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."535Please respect copyright.PENANA3tUSJ0t3pt
"Anything for you, Sam,"535Please respect copyright.PENANAPrVmpLm12O
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 535Please respect copyright.PENANAsNc0eiuBvc
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."535Please respect copyright.PENANAJUDZxwpkQE
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANA88o5zeLUIp
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.535Please respect copyright.PENANATa7F2s3Ryr
I had just taken in some535Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ5YZgIu2n
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 535Please respect copyright.PENANAXRRLPaAfRF
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly535Please respect copyright.PENANAd67tlkLOq8
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 535Please respect copyright.PENANAOPHsyVMMVQ
just said.535Please respect copyright.PENANAXr5K0DO7i4
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAUWeBKohX87
"Well, ya," Christine 535Please respect copyright.PENANAkhdyHChi9U
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 535Please respect copyright.PENANAR8UbjGQ20a
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 535Please respect copyright.PENANAt0MYXQg3ln
special lunch to lighten your mood."535Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZEIyTiTC4
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.535Please respect copyright.PENANAAcFiFn4zSy
"Thanks for the lunch, 535Please respect copyright.PENANATu7b9g7TzK
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so535Please respect copyright.PENANAvWPMbbWHhB
sweet of you to have come up with this."535Please respect copyright.PENANAK1zIE3YjsN
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.535Please respect copyright.PENANAZJLZU64Ekk
I almost felt like 535Please respect copyright.PENANA3CbXIM0dMC
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 535Please respect copyright.PENANAM1GNYYnXkU
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare535Please respect copyright.PENANAmWtA0EDAe7
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 535Please respect copyright.PENANAzrZatraojL
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 535Please respect copyright.PENANAUv6uFOeb4q
turning into rage?535Please respect copyright.PENANAOKkCoIgJlv
Oh, goodness. I needed 535Please respect copyright.PENANA26aWDkmAN2
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 535Please respect copyright.PENANAjRAWu8r1ZD
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 535Please respect copyright.PENANAHMh3v0k78Y
I tried to push aside 535Please respect copyright.PENANAr0m2XmM9Sx
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 535Please respect copyright.PENANAF8iJrn4v5U
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 535Please respect copyright.PENANAZuYXsT9lcE
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 535Please respect copyright.PENANAXcmnvT01CG
chocolate moussé.535Please respect copyright.PENANAsmprzWtWjM
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,535Please respect copyright.PENANApENOj8d27Z
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 535Please respect copyright.PENANAwk2xxzsl1h
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.535Please respect copyright.PENANAHEUB9SLErM
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.535Please respect copyright.PENANAze4jOQONlx
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."535Please respect copyright.PENANAZ59wHA1qeo
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.535Please respect copyright.PENANAuST8cL0fRl
I didn't wait for 535Please respect copyright.PENANAaWyGeRE83r
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I535Please respect copyright.PENANAg83b5JxWPq
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed535Please respect copyright.PENANASOmwZ33SRt
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 535Please respect copyright.PENANAFNt4pwHJCL
heaven.535Please respect copyright.PENANAbhbsKy8PPe
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.535Please respect copyright.PENANAfatl2Pg8Q2
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."535Please respect copyright.PENANA77D20sXaJn
"I don't care," I said 535Please respect copyright.PENANARttVqLz0C9
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 535Please respect copyright.PENANAuRa6KQaCbi
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."535Please respect copyright.PENANA42TjIsLBZ5
G-Dragon smiled back at 535Please respect copyright.PENANAfNLQGJyqCc
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 535Please respect copyright.PENANAdBqERvIjpz
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 535Please respect copyright.PENANAqBFIUraC1e
away.535Please respect copyright.PENANA2aYS74bl74
After dessert, we all 535Please respect copyright.PENANAnx9Xr5VnHK
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 535Please respect copyright.PENANAkBMpugWrhV
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 535Please respect copyright.PENANARCiemIbobS
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 535Please respect copyright.PENANAIh0jt7RYu5
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 535Please respect copyright.PENANAS8oz3CjIOI
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 535Please respect copyright.PENANA6p9dHVvJoI
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.535Please respect copyright.PENANAZb5NDXcAuN
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAYlcscgdHZD
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.535Please respect copyright.PENANAhYK4McEPXk
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."535Please respect copyright.PENANANQKaxKfmMu
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.535Please respect copyright.PENANAVNqqwZXRjb
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."535Please respect copyright.PENANA3xpuAFWMR3
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."535Please respect copyright.PENANA8DEkfXXPyO
"What stuff?" TOP asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANALbgLTvSoLJ
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAoQjlR7qWWN
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."535Please respect copyright.PENANAF9YVeIu7Hq
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.535Please respect copyright.PENANACzc9g23SBl
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.535Please respect copyright.PENANAFpwAjspEyd
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.535Please respect copyright.PENANA4r5mTkXXti
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.535Please respect copyright.PENANA7iZYfFWc3w
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."535Please respect copyright.PENANAO5IHv7AdOn
"Wait, what's going on?"535Please respect copyright.PENANArcc6qAUiex
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 535Please respect copyright.PENANAqxrp2F0FjW
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"535Please respect copyright.PENANATbZlkb65xr
"I thought we should all535Please respect copyright.PENANALnNqWDMFOQ
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 535Please respect copyright.PENANAHWhmLL4kBv
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."535Please respect copyright.PENANAQxKOEnMNq7
"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.535Please respect copyright.PENANAoI7JphQZLf
"I don't know, I feel we535Please respect copyright.PENANAXZlogjtGWg
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.535Please respect copyright.PENANAwJX7xnMlBQ
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out535Please respect copyright.PENANA6nPNp1qRYG
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."535Please respect copyright.PENANAnNMg3i2URU
"I don't get it though,"535Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8fYoU1AYh
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 535Please respect copyright.PENANA5vaikaXBTS
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write535Please respect copyright.PENANAd2XlOTC4Ia
the lyrics?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAvowXrnpNpK
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.535Please respect copyright.PENANAdHrWGda3Jp
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAKjZSifmXpp
This time, I also raised535Please respect copyright.PENANADR5x96q9Uu
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 535Please respect copyright.PENANAH51txiz9iz
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.535Please respect copyright.PENANARz5pV0Rdlg
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANA6XKUc9M5ZR
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.535Please respect copyright.PENANAiernEWT5VL
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.535Please respect copyright.PENANAL1M12ODQ0c
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANApp7sDNQbxg
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."535Please respect copyright.PENANABmy6poiTT9
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAygJBDpwhcw
By the way G-Dragon 535Please respect copyright.PENANAOcfZFYCUX9
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 535Please respect copyright.PENANA99DbvbRQjj
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And535Please respect copyright.PENANAo3MrWJRg2X
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of535Please respect copyright.PENANAvPvn5RZ3Xu
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.535Please respect copyright.PENANANMYUxMcRYG
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."535Please respect copyright.PENANA9pVrJHwsla
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAYWwxE9lwNV
"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."535Please respect copyright.PENANAazLAjFdr8P
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.535Please respect copyright.PENANAFo6b4sAOXA
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 535Please respect copyright.PENANA8w60dHSHU5
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.535Please respect copyright.PENANAndpCeRTUnz
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."535Please respect copyright.PENANAhjZG8q6yTJ
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."535Please respect copyright.PENANAFjiZaG5p6E
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."535Please respect copyright.PENANACjCThk21m8
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."535Please respect copyright.PENANANH8a3TgT2t
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."535Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ6gCM5cR1
"What truth?" I asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAwvd4FovNVK
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."535Please respect copyright.PENANAX5IojoHdRQ
Taeyang was right. I was535Please respect copyright.PENANAUjB8f4BAsE
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 535Please respect copyright.PENANAfy5ZubLEBB
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 535Please respect copyright.PENANAPIAwbTXN6I
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 535Please respect copyright.PENANAk04ARLOLqv
attention.535Please respect copyright.PENANAfmjiwFxnpZ
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."535Please respect copyright.PENANA9plubeaNMA
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."535Please respect copyright.PENANAaMFxMw2OiL
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel535Please respect copyright.PENANArTFv1u6Mnf
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 535Please respect copyright.PENANApQ6Tc8LpQ9
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!535Please respect copyright.PENANAHQuib0tLK1
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.535Please respect copyright.PENANAcK4XipwaX7
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.535Please respect copyright.PENANALTSG6i3M3n
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.535Please respect copyright.PENANAuQoGNQppyi
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.535Please respect copyright.PENANAI4ZmsjbMH0
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.535Please respect copyright.PENANAmY7YrHAy5V
"But I....." 535Please respect copyright.PENANAQ56dNq5hhK
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 535Please respect copyright.PENANADmPDgrCwLy
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've535Please respect copyright.PENANASb4rbdDzJh
talked way too much, don't you think?"535Please respect copyright.PENANAOYY7GgU00x
That felt like a slap in535Please respect copyright.PENANAgKxFO0C9LT
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 535Please respect copyright.PENANAWRXy9qufkP
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 535Please respect copyright.PENANAGmaruUTx9u
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 535Please respect copyright.PENANAFUJ84rubML
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 535Please respect copyright.PENANAAvMduJRY0m
about what I thought was best for the whole group?535Please respect copyright.PENANABfZMRP23rN
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.535Please respect copyright.PENANAO6zljjXMDE
"That's fine with me," said Mike.535Please respect copyright.PENANAc6meHc3vBr
Everyone else agreed, 535Please respect copyright.PENANAZEbuwClTQg
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 535Please respect copyright.PENANAA0cFV2KMGt
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 535Please respect copyright.PENANARfAVxf5dBJ
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 535Please respect copyright.PENANARSXEC0fhNa
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 535Please respect copyright.PENANAQEZ8Us65aN
B, just in case.535Please respect copyright.PENANAVQRQoUyXUi
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.535Please respect copyright.PENANAPwaskeI7C5
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.535Please respect copyright.PENANA0JD1eQYSoK
"Not now, Sam. We will 535Please respect copyright.PENANAlqXzbrQ6gw
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 535Please respect copyright.PENANApKzqi2TWvx
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 535Please respect copyright.PENANAylX9Mas4Th
gave me goosebumps.535Please respect copyright.PENANAq9ZX0jP13m
"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."535Please respect copyright.PENANAh1ecxBn3Dr
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 535Please respect copyright.PENANA6BMgUK3dVn
One by one everyone 535Please respect copyright.PENANAgRx0opfPhW
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 535Please respect copyright.PENANA7F9UeXhKpC
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem535Please respect copyright.PENANAaCn8CYo5yT
appropriate.535Please respect copyright.PENANABfuocZoM54
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.535Please respect copyright.PENANAkrqGGAo0TK
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.535Please respect copyright.PENANAH5pw66n3II
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.535Please respect copyright.PENANAwq79HXssai
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.535Please respect copyright.PENANAw4I79wTa1r
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."535Please respect copyright.PENANAIkzsS171gz
"It's not that. I pissed535Please respect copyright.PENANA4kUh8qU8n5
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take535Please respect copyright.PENANAcd8JyTCMVd
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."535Please respect copyright.PENANAAoFJVeZYqL
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."535Please respect copyright.PENANAbshpP0i5gG
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."535Please respect copyright.PENANAkKISudxeHs
Taeyang placed his hand 535Please respect copyright.PENANAEomFcngepE
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He535Please respect copyright.PENANASKWFtkIS08
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.535Please respect copyright.PENANAAQD7b0AxH6
I knew I had to hope for535Please respect copyright.PENANArHKYGgZRgn
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut535Please respect copyright.PENANAPMolRSWuAK
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 535Please respect copyright.PENANARfAxFRVwAG
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 535Please respect copyright.PENANAgbnp6XEBnY
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 535Please respect copyright.PENANAHVtq8O0Mfg
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
