The water felt like a 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAh71dvoIeuQ
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 1062Please respect copyright.PENANADKqNBAqAHb
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA27X8FRPWbf
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAheREBySfZk
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAtJeXk1W10J
breathe. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAk9AwzxDNXb
I pushed myself upwards 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6mOPEN466o
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of1062Please respect copyright.PENANAN84qxnMnup
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjp58S3hpqt
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfviMNlzm5f
edge.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4DqfWkMXqH
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAnB5vEdZMNR
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAe4e41eJAnO
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.1062Please respect copyright.PENANACM7kp4u2N3
I looked ridiculously 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEDOK2hZODH
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 1062Please respect copyright.PENANABaTnXpLaX8
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAF5vJOZydgV
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 1062Please respect copyright.PENANARHUSOFvCWD
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPE98FKs5Rh
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvW51TcH0rQ
I looked around me and 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA28OMXS3Bhp
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgQvJwSHPWa
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 1062Please respect copyright.PENANADpbjRwcrA3
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgMx9o9xvl9
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjSps2ydvtG
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA05nOx6HQ2J
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."1062Please respect copyright.PENANACvh3Z8AuxK
I heard Zoey and the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAAQh9JS70j6
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqOVfEkWKuf
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAm6LW0c5NoX
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA49KkA7s8zR
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQzxggMKo0Z
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEq0ApR21hC
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ7V6Djd14
"I already told you, I'm1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPflsmurBD3
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I1062Please respect copyright.PENANA2xYOon6sS0
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 1062Please respect copyright.PENANATIntQCQyJC
from anyone.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAo13ahOpTLJ
I made my way towards GD1062Please respect copyright.PENANAATaZsiHEyu
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUfxGEGZsoA
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 1062Please respect copyright.PENANASymqf5UgWz
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWV29DKW8Nt
"Oh, man, Sam," said 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6rFvL3Y6P9
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAHbpiScXhGn
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuekFheSgva
game. Hope you didn't mind."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAnHQ14J9wOA
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."1062Please respect copyright.PENANACe01Yrevnt
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAtw5WV68vOb
"I told you, our 1062Please respect copyright.PENANABydOM1Cgsm
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqo0eShrAwB
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAreEZ1fPQGS
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAonaxYDEbC0
Daesung.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmNigu6qRKc
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAP0TkNjewap
I dialled Lee's number 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaUTObkkMwy
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAp8NbgLvaIj
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANANmsZnJGrXW
They would know soon enough.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAp9lRpNm8U5
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhF0Hbb7RGq
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAok2CkLMba0
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANALTziX742ex
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWdd6z1bFJB
"No, not yet. But you 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3Qs7h0DJJ
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And1062Please respect copyright.PENANA5IlNcy6zHa
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdgc8K4t7Tb
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAIsKuLwRfop
"Okay, I'll be waiting."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAun0jDihFVn
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhVOuqGGgGV
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQYcK7Im0Gt
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPXZtpjoVMG
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAn8Wa7U4GP9
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA2wIT3Cc7Pu
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZOZ4bYUBUW
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQu4UGq9v5X
I shook my head. I was 1062Please respect copyright.PENANACZgVkCOqvW
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAXo95wQF8dH
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvyF71033a5
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAGcLAyINwem
After walking a few feet1062Please respect copyright.PENANAHv5uYnYEkP
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAVSLvBabVQn
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUippWnq4tS
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3MG5oixBOY
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmdgqM7y2Ci
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA5vEIw4Mfdt
None of them answered as1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlty6EOQhC3
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAyZZReQGzUL
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 1062Please respect copyright.PENANADyLWmUP91H
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAozfhS1kRew
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7DpXCDZEIN
"I wasn't going to say 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWenjjcbpkE
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing1062Please respect copyright.PENANApVl2j47YWg
you would want to hear from me is advice."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAB3Batww2iP
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaWDyxNakrb
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA8IcC6eaNfc
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA5zhPe4nJ9T
"I'm still upset, though."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWixejMKTpW
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAO3fY3vFRuZ
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAkQPk0QysWE
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPuUsWnyoDc
I gave TOP an assuring 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA9RTtHXp38W
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqhF7XmffKp
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANACRIq0yPYI3
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I1062Please respect copyright.PENANAu0HVKp1tNo
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't1062Please respect copyright.PENANAoVID1Suvq2
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAC3k2KY7pBX
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAVAS9It1qk5
We all found ourselves 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAwqxfdCIrsd
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins1062Please respect copyright.PENANAVvUG5etUvL
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlEbRA3nU99
were waiting for me. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAI8RmI1duU1
"Hey, Sam, you don't 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAm5u2l35IjL
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA0TDF1F5bWL
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzoKN4Rttv2
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAl2OzZUqDMM
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7bXTtWXKpd
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAN9wSx9emMF
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFX9cGAR1gB
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfBPL13gtzR
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAncT7TpaVUm
I had my eyes closed 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAStbew9hAcx
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzNd3Jf7wnn
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ5XTWadPO
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7hPaPdTW7l
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAoQBmrFfUxr
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAX1XYo3OgeX
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJIwzxB1bDC
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKIh2QtjY8X
Taeyang led me to his 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAucfJAADDkY
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 1062Please respect copyright.PENANArJ3zLzZiBj
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPAfnrpEWiJ
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAVkOkOVa9vh
In about thirty minutes,1062Please respect copyright.PENANApjnvgHSDBg
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA03qZvRkwIV
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAGlk7rzVz5r
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAC0KHSkaNyo
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAVvYGmhlGoh
appeared out of the elevator.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6WpsrgAJg
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAoI7RblKT0J
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKTmD06U1gq
Lee who stood behind 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAl8QhL4MQj0
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZFlUXe6ch
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAyj4djQzV33
other things in mind.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAiud4foMTd1
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAt6LmmrEuJe
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZid03Kw7kj
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUqSEO3D9nF
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAk7TbCV7oGc
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAXV1GXdjB4v
"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."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1p6CWjnBqO
There was an awkward 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKEPLNTwliR
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlekQvtww0n
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA30jh1NuVR1
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANALDUulYpkSp
"Well, I hear the press 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0IDJFTMCF
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEfbilzN5TL
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAeIq4CGyLgd
"That won't be 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaxobXvxinP
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAbpKJAEfoJk
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6ajLtaIMRp
go to the press looking all wet."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAMgQrXgKZZy
I breathed out a sigh of1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaNm4xVD1Jd
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWkbuIPKVCy
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhi5V0AeLKD
"In the meantime, you go1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuAzhnl8Wex
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhN0HlM3bFD
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzQLS6bxzCe
I nodded my head in 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA73ylLAzLB7
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3YnBDQVLU9
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.1062Please respect copyright.PENANARDeJyoDGny
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.1062Please respect copyright.PENANArMXclfgYRR
"Alright," I said 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAh6DGlx5cGV
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1vsGYdIfBQ
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like1062Please respect copyright.PENANAsf7nl6krty
I was only making things worse.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7j8qsms6lw
Before I turned to leave1062Please respect copyright.PENANAwv5qukmIjk
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3twcSDz6la
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA30zVSQ30zM
one.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3iXk127XU
***1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEdBmEl8nTF
I sat on the couch all 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAkgN9kUyZc8
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued1062Please respect copyright.PENANAbrqOCJCne5
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuII9Lwxg2y
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAiMkTMIAFFm
I had a box of paper 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOeQBWIBzsn
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my1062Please respect copyright.PENANAViEiuUTuLW
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA0XCAUXMw2r
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.1062Please respect copyright.PENANALY3v5WrpL9
I continued watching the1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQpQAlhOANN
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqjxbgYHOle
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAkSJfyWYxaW
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3b6yDvg6TK
"Never better," I said, 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAx7MISmNiva
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAsoAucNWzjl
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAwNANNZPsfK
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAkVFiwIVOuo
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgNlmYJPL6a
"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.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKPDlC2BwlJ
"And the others?" 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAsjdWz33GYl
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAbYRhTTFVkk
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAO0tYxiMIVl
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3AQsTkuMBn
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPqdzbpKmht
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.1062Please respect copyright.PENANACP9rdQMj6J
"You don't know or you are?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANASO3IkM49m0
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.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqV97BEpJvQ
"I don't know, Tae," I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhOia1qj6jI
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 1062Please respect copyright.PENANASln6gXe2uF
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAGK8bcE1GwA
forget all that happened yesterday."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7FytQiiMLx
"Ya, I understand. They 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEiWPV0SpTI
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAtijoI20jDz
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were1062Please respect copyright.PENANAxoUJ7TH7yt
going to get."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAl0JmbPodUj
I looked on at Taeyang 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4rL66E3OSp
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUE4leeDKQr
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJj2IxSekL7
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQqE4WpU0Ga
who was as tough as nails.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6VFVSKgn3l
Last night, I took the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANApEGrqDBd1k
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQarXIY5ORA
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 1062Please respect copyright.PENANArFdzAK6YRr
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhrUzFNDbcS
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAcskBBnQZHJ
Apparently, the managers1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQUQGF3HaUh
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA0n8y8sjO23
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought1062Please respect copyright.PENANAG2d3Tu0XaF
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA5ynMf7TY9K
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmXeFMcvs0I
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 1062Please respect copyright.PENANATIS1elD91A
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 1062Please respect copyright.PENANApyu8kqHBhF
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjQqfpt2dxG
and the reporters.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAnswpJTUJ6R
After my confrontation 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAd90ZTe5cJV
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I1062Please respect copyright.PENANAAAoO5znkpI
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,1062Please respect copyright.PENANA8MqzXgAoi6
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAyjIBydZjg3
"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."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAbuhejUOAaM
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAYOhaONufuS
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAT0z9euO5qz
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAk2NopKpf0g
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAGuttil6fEt
"Have you tried talking to GD?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKZc7yK9hZP
"To be honest, I haven't1062Please respect copyright.PENANABrwxLN8Pqy
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA5uDSALyYwk
slap him in the face if I see him."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7SLgKv1SCR
"I don't doubt that."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAe5sryjg1VW
"And thank goodness my 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAIEY2tx6Jy0
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA88FKokc2c6
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I1062Please respect copyright.PENANANbczKsAcBR
want to do is watch some TV."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhGMtsKhYZP
I quickly drank my 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqsB3aJ1qxx
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJLqVKHcQ7L
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPqEp0DpGyJ
to.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAoSv46cpTgI
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAIaiJnHJUPd
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAbJqcLrxg4s
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7g8wBuVrrC
"Nope."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAXgQJHlbB18
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAwKq17WFeM4
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdKEkJvhm3r
Taeyang didn't say 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAE80jFn3GNJ
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvrsDMYLRUJ
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."1062Please respect copyright.PENANARZ0trSZ8tH
"I know you fought or 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaWajpTFgS4
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAHFs8WopN49
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAwUdlk1nwew
I noticed Taeyang smile 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAIOEC8Lzf8K
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAkHf02hSU3G
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA5F6NlvoIPR
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAELggO4hkzk
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAv9kjEcLzqU
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."1062Please respect copyright.PENANASP9hbOahCw
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?1062Please respect copyright.PENANAG3NfCotEK6
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAtzlJgF4rMj
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmQPKDuqjeq
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzxlui9T79H
Before I could finish my1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWvTgAXrLME
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 1062Please respect copyright.PENANABmz4n4lrym
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAg5TNGMAOOV
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAW02lsW1niV
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAA0ONpwHQ7Y
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAxG8DqydYmn
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvuTSnrNcBE
"Yep, cheers to that." 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuz5Y9aArWf
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjYcq8XGJsI
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.1062Please respect copyright.PENANATpD7Bytu4n
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAraHb30wR8k
"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."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAck5YRVxIEb
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."1062Please respect copyright.PENANABnBnNB9AFY
"Wow, that sounds personal."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3nxkLSsX2l
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWiFUNgacWm
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKScqlKdQNe
"I think I've a better 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA2s0hELwjfW
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1lpzNIXUPc
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzAbwBVBof2
lyrics. It's better that way."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjxUIlsPe98
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAv9spDfH8zy
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKp08Pznii0
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFNw1DzTLNx
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAHsnvHK5CrO
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWSApRh8tvw
"Haha, good point."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzm2cTjIlxf
Taeyang and I continued 1062Please respect copyright.PENANACavVcZpHAj
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgfAis8XoKh
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAoQyNZKQtNj
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we1062Please respect copyright.PENANA41U3XBRhuh
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhxADvHpqEs
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAx9p7DEhgMm
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 1062Please respect copyright.PENANApTOqAzAhnF
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmx7RDmRm79
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3h3IKjPqHS
While the two of us were1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgQPcbQELSC
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,1062Please respect copyright.PENANAyrJ8Nm17FM
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWA5YyTqxTD
I quickly went over to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANALPmkrT7zl8
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1sTEaBIAos
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung1062Please respect copyright.PENANANQPoWsUo7d
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfzmm5VzSWQ
come up and I put the receiver down.1062Please respect copyright.PENANALQ7eCA78Po
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEnNHI9DvbM
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1YAZpZAXHN
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZthwQVQUdt
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAeAh0h6eRhu
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlR8x7SEiVI
"Eww, that pillow 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuJcAsCP6PY
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAp8TgKjepS2
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzWCfSusM2a
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.1062Please respect copyright.PENANApdHIs7amrv
A few seconds later, we 1062Please respect copyright.PENANASNBVKtb8ck
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAI6bZvnHgEK
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJTjDPyslS0
holding a box of chocolates.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdVt2NF7Q7m
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAcEf4QLF5kM
"Ah, no, the panda is a 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAIO9S7Dnj2X
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlg0GlODNka
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANACh0qyM7lIa
same time.1062Please respect copyright.PENANATtrSPwnl8l
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKMUxn2RVho
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaqXIYd37zg
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAsklsaryGvA
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOWhWw1EcRk
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAiE9GusQ4oy
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAxmRERDXM3R
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAryk1qPPN9U
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAGqpnBn2Lhd
"For goodness sake, I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfHA9JLB1uv
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA5x7P0c2E7A
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAXTtGWxwP8N
scared with me."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzqkcMfgvYL
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAIUOAPHmOXP
I took the panda in my 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAe7MGIcwak7
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOKaNQml4Ya
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAoHrfLXMkwj
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3I4Xr5FZ7B
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAs8wP6PYkkt
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjlydh5ChOE
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZLr61cifbl
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANA66VZ7wC8qW
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAk1Uz65CTcA
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjZw6zqgc1f
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I1062Please respect copyright.PENANAXUn0bnzORa
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPBUyH8JIxU
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA57Ux31MS29
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEpjEzKQweY
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuKVhdEkrYS
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."1062Please respect copyright.PENANApOwGDGiyrV
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOHF8KlDo9h
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."1062Please respect copyright.PENANATKxJw5C0TY
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAwWn6kdb0ye
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKhsZ6tgFQv
"Ya, I do."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQkB3yECJAd
While the four of us 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAihvz2gektM
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAGhBdo6ZcZi
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuPMqiSWgiY
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUebrb3w4AK
said:1062Please respect copyright.PENANARHbJsAOtUn
"Hey, Zoey." 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAH7NqMSzpFl
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAbu2tcOIkj4
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAX58MYlA7US
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfQaYm44Veo
"It's good you came to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA9qOTo4uux4
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAT1113nNOSB
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFbQsKtxiW2
couch.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWQBdpdimBP
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAYOpJIvrU1R
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOQF4diaf8H
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAMhGvo2NvHC
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANATPGTKBtlf6
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOEeNhmgr3k
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlVOKpZSkPG
I tugged at my panda's 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA67kXAMp3HX
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdcGGTQJnS3
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking1062Please respect copyright.PENANAe1sV92FB76
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdYV9fqXT0F
The Toxins came back to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgQTxbf0gxQ
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held1062Please respect copyright.PENANAx1pmxfTwhh
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzhalswvZgH
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaqmTPtjR3G
For a moment, no one 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdOu8BsX2lN
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1GKtmJgBys
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPATI4oSdKz
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAo98121sNSK
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZTJkGxvVK
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAMyqBf1GUa6
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAl6uVMRMtsT
I stared up at the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAsHHjo3BBlk
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAMguKSbMgga
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAW5ekOzZNHF
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPADM9jEeTx
When Zoey tried to reach1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdTfmJXtWWM
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAYggfnYdsqR
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmQkOxMQPuT
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAIASoPxliug
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAf6W6yu0kaX
Zoey looked hurt with 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhAWAiJWhbk
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEz941WHRUz
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAk9erfNrOdq
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfKNG3ENQDV
I didn't answer as I put1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5utbCwUNj
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I1062Please respect copyright.PENANAVKRMnfnQPT
was still mad, especially at Zoey.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjVccqHJMg0
"I know it's a little 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAnS5JdxysWb
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAyt5FdG0YUc
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAyHpOryTn75
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZRnWH2N9W9
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQECmSFBKPZ
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 1062Please respect copyright.PENANASLvcPLNbYO
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."1062Please respect copyright.PENANATpetarrG1r
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.1062Please respect copyright.PENANADXk1wQPXOJ
"I don't like it when 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAeuiAo7LbfM
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAy6HOl2poan
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqCcDf8DC2u
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAM1rUdlxtgE
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZA9GV1dYUa
sorry, Sam."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvD0leZXKGQ
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7pxpfloxNA
"I'm sorry too," said 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgK1Is9ynVg
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPPdJmmnNq9
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjsFzX42LFi
for you to talk to us again."1062Please respect copyright.PENANADR7bVgsG9s
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqsNKmEeiRp
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAq4Itzt3LBt
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA9UvJEeaPXV
leader."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUdWTGGaAO9
I still didn't say a 1062Please respect copyright.PENANACSFrLAvSEh
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlMVokjVwyL
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1XuoR98JUs
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3zdZ06jI7P
them despite the awful things they put me through.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAtPYv7Ar80I
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAy8i6YCeBIB
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."1062Please respect copyright.PENANACZVPiFv6dg
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4zwDuenFYZ
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAIQdHADHZar
"I'm mad and pretty much1062Please respect copyright.PENANADcj4N5Pc1l
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAr1qGCBkFmZ
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAauHWKIPbTM
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAIEIE1JsntV
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAsbQi68FgDw
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4JEP3wRGP5
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6pRcqlu7i2
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAcavZDS0Mks
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA187fyCGz5g
"Ah, you! Always acting 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAS5jcZ8Q698
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA5WaG1kSpbW
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAtJI4rxhVt5
catch it anyway."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAyYT125iYIT
Christine, Daniel and 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKJGQNP2FSE
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAyUxpzJtAJc
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAH0gEArYYU3
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZIkVpUeZuc
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjPWJ4ZrxD3
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1zvrvgT2kk
"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...."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAkB0hqFJEv7
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOtvBYRA4Xv
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4jq7F2soWQ
"Don't worry, you won't 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAyodxV6XnUU
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAtJM1f9QFxH
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAAG49d38xhV
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4R9GRVEXdP
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAkjLby65ZYH
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAu8hRH8RqII
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZLhH1sjlJb
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3QZwuVXnt7
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfmsoSkqz9q
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAy5niTKC0lz
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAnuky7r8HWA
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAp3M5pNWuCC
At that moment, I had 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6LuCW0ezb5
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaI4MJxlgbI
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7fB5hefg8U
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANANZBtFxPT4N
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAIJQacejw2R
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlLk0OfIXVC
Zoey got the box of 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4yRwcgKHA7
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAeAtMax7l5Z
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAVqClg2lmhr
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAeB259gr0GL
I was in the passage as I1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUbMZjAe4V6
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAoqrjsirF1O
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPNUzaOOt8I
in what felt like sadness.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUzwAoTJl2F
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAr8QGiICRnp
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAx7xLcucraH
I heard his footsteps 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA9MdngUSTo6
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANACPLGajxrRz
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWuJ7mwYipl
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEmZDkh1hmA
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAs0Yt1te6ZG
"Are we really do this right now?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANALjYjeiKrjr
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKRqDGYus2x
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWT7YYKU9iC
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA2kKBG8HOoQ
"Nope." 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAC38hqe4yy3
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOhXV0h5lj2
My eyes almost felt like1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJ10cPDMTCb
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZtlfvcJy8Y
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAXdvhI3PqA9
I turned to look at him 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAu5bRCPlioZ
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAHevfqKRqRa
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAt2dOKC2Zlo
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlcc8eTKt6U
"That you're surrounded 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAp1w6M36o18
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmlogtN3hRg
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAbBd1sM5EXb
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."1062Please respect copyright.PENANALsHvYLHXbI
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAv2uFGJEvtT
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFJP1CueFQO
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAoZZ66GNyST
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."1062Please respect copyright.PENANASnhbkOxWQb
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZBjnOu4bwy
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFgHOXo3Uq0
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."1062Please respect copyright.PENANApjmAgq62XK
Apparently, I couldn't 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOPiv6EibkU
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAESsS78vC4y
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAT0vTrNRfbo
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAXavfyfH8Gw
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANASl3wSjqErF
death.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAnZObRl4kKs
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA8albo6xPtF
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlAUFe5elF6
Taeyang folded his arms 1062Please respect copyright.PENANABKSuTbv95P
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think1062Please respect copyright.PENANAVS9hffi70u
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEZZUgwEW6E
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAwFYiXYTkCx
"You're may think you're1062Please respect copyright.PENANA0SV4HepVyd
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAx6NVxM88CY
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 1062Please respect copyright.PENANATHiEIhHZsw
but feeling hurt."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOeSdvQRwIM
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAAcibYKWLdt
"But I wouldn't feel 1062Please respect copyright.PENANARiheTxGI65
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAXNJAjr8my9
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKPzvAT1jcJ
at Taeyang.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7Uhls1XQZN
Taeyang gave me that 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAF3FYgUgfh5
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZv0MpQh0f3
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAg9RSpUEyQ7
while in return, he nodded.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKlP7f8VeqO
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAxTH1U7NrrQ
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAf6QUMLXpUF
I didn't say a word as I1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUDboxP1FF0
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuSyYn7ouNH
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 1062Please respect copyright.PENANACSjRfllZXJ
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAkvA3KULgTX
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAd3gWWtLWZW
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAI5ItmQHQUf
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."1062Please respect copyright.PENANABSbfwovunc
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhfZBwfDfzY
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQuzf4VlnQ0
If there was ever a way I1062Please respect copyright.PENANAcT7n88dfrt
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA9KCUMt7cuW
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAH765NCHqPT
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAsyubDFap9L
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANABrWkMTwSRr
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAu7mF8OVOlm
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.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAc9LvbUR2vm
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAMtra1XdIWN
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmOl52I4mu1
"Well, I'm just asking,"1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6SyZVyVOSM
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,1062Please respect copyright.PENANA88fJGDaYyr
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgZegaLR6lc
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.1062Please respect copyright.PENANADlGKpx167r
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAcnZSTgzHkR
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQdTReqAFMn
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6VOxVRyTQT
I pressed the button 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWu5kt5MK3K
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEIUK97VwtV
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA5AJoD17tk5
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAx55Dkvx6Gg
We went to the main 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmLtoMqcwGS
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for1062Please respect copyright.PENANAy1GGDKQqVn
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA2BO2rozhLe
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAd0xOiuRRgN
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZJQjlhxXOH
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ5qKEfCo9
"To be honest, we just 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAtrRctNmryc
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6lzw49o4h6
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAK0AHMgJVks
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKTkqkW425f
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqklffPhtn0
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.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA5zsAKft07V
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAxgrJU06G4I
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3osM6huiHO
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAR4TauRnCX6
"Nah, I don't think so,"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjqDu26rjgO
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so1062Please respect copyright.PENANAW7gYJbjH4R
he would be treating me like that."1062Please respect copyright.PENANArAb53cjF3z
"Mmm, I don't think so,"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPEfy9qc4mm
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAcugnee984G
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWmt6qgPmdt
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzL3kBXuWZv
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.1062Please respect copyright.PENANADQ413rXOQD
"Then, stop trying to make one."1062Please respect copyright.PENANApgLfIc3C3f
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."1062Please respect copyright.PENANABL65gqUyaj
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAACAgw863mY
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAyiItudGx9e
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdFqMvCuXpm
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAXF7BkgE3Ks
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAENwXdGYj9R
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAnyQ6zIZHPC
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAYON5HE8X9j
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."1062Please respect copyright.PENANADCHwJw0qaN
I didn't even dare try 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4OzQbsKS1T
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAiMc5J8ab7M
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.1062Please respect copyright.PENANALaVyxPBDHo
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANATDJuqeEV33
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvgf0I5ep6e
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7feoB1tyDk
I heard footsteps coming1062Please respect copyright.PENANAIDioeyguGJ
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAo5AE9KQla4
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAXFqOySKI6X
look at me.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUWH8VRQWVW
"Are you okay?" he whispered.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgHkvgGGi3a
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAHJyhL9XNfh
I soon felt strong hands1062Please respect copyright.PENANAh4wPnXCkOH
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD1062Please respect copyright.PENANAtiu9GyEdPK
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAyFvKBWAUVX
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAYFLKd6cCJC
"I'm a whole lot better,1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZjy9ebEUYj
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 1062Please respect copyright.PENANADjYDoMd01v
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUv1S5mtHJv
"Glad to hear that."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1CQXHeZtW4
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.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4zOGehz40G
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAjM9YCXZzxK
I was planning not to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANALu7Yi3OsVw
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4w1qdh1uMr
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAAOfiDC8xGp
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to1062Please respect copyright.PENANAAsDQsRoF6T
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA8t0kpxjx95
under the bridge.1062Please respect copyright.PENANALDndvDqoil
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7GGEqivJDM
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfRmBVWkDWo
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAt9bM15rvBw
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAusdcuzZZyu
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.1062Please respect copyright.PENANASS7FKCL2Pz
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.1062Please respect copyright.PENANADafZFHmYxl
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3UtFwjU033
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAV7YWTOMq9v
The waiters soon came 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3OePC9gBCa
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFgOjvDSM3i
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJiz0OhpxZd
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAGlAQWykSoL
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAMd27dflaek
For a moment, I felt 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAE9JAkZz29i
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAsUmzZCaomJ
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQqT0iRDtkI
me to forget that I was ever mad.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKE4ZXCGKJT
"Mmm, this is so 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6NV9ugNlJp
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAiq71GXO3kW
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAo1shkPZgAw
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3cx4nwgSX
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAXptTGA5hJj
"Anything for you, Sam,"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEWYychRE7q
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgqDJufsWn1
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAbXBx2UKD8i
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWB5HZxIHlZ
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvTfcagc9Va
I had just taken in some1062Please respect copyright.PENANAGERjyBWcEo
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdlA5td1Xux
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly1062Please respect copyright.PENANAiVBpIr714A
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhz3dVnncoj
just said.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA5EMv4A0ZRT
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuYERH2p7jC
"Well, ya," Christine 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqHkXoJep5M
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4LTF3Qu9WY
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAAdKCjOp6uW
special lunch to lighten your mood."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA57RMYapnSp
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAM0okccYHOj
"Thanks for the lunch, 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmldzGfTA1X
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzXkFfitn05
sweet of you to have come up with this."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhbk1ZTQ4l1
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAHUk8Vs2Siz
I almost felt like 1062Please respect copyright.PENANABxpzzODxPV
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUaRFubgGxi
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlz4EvMLNTM
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAF9gHdBm4O4
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAv49LJJysDs
turning into rage?1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfr0I1dasOl
Oh, goodness. I needed 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZAPSzUhNCI
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWWglJGvFLO
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAHjGyaDwAu5
I tried to push aside 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1R1EPKfL57
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 1062Please respect copyright.PENANASSesdhDJD6
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA7RFL5tLzfW
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAakEbtnhiZf
chocolate moussé.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4yIVT0YRAa
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,1062Please respect copyright.PENANAnDahOMUn1q
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4IiKeenp82
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA28kWu8Uiok
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfcph1n7Oy2
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAcLXqZistAE
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzR0wDxEw27
I didn't wait for 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqGQbvsT8GQ
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I1062Please respect copyright.PENANAGdu4YZruPW
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6FwdzqOy7T
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1hsWpSnkj2
heaven.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAxs2EGfYnpA
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.1062Please respect copyright.PENANACNcySpAAGg
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."1062Please respect copyright.PENANApcQoorCOQW
"I don't care," I said 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA2FJO0gPI7Y
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUPSSc09jQs
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAp86QuAsRwD
G-Dragon smiled back at 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9wSkStnIq
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 1062Please respect copyright.PENANADTnXSlHqVU
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4GqeJzK7LR
away.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUYoH6PFwkm
After dessert, we all 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hg0hgZ3l8
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuT5B0un2sc
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAEhOsZqNc5j
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAHvPwzXgCk5
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAGUMAVOGKYG
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFM57Gdhkso
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAN0RCCY0sFa
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAtfgg0XcbtZ
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUszUyHQXP9
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAAXjtelHo5M
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAiz7MH57VWI
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAenQgiUn3Ee
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlb8Yp6YuIY
"What stuff?" TOP asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAe03qzd8CS2
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZXiSeGg0Ak
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAo9bYstFiy0
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.1062Please respect copyright.PENANALETZsNyDp5
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAY8L9hkpj6I
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAim73g9ZA91
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdGUZ1ACPbt
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZv3LRdyfz5
"Wait, what's going on?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAppIohGuOqS
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWbfC0GH1qT
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANA2lJrzMKc6N
"I thought we should all1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfiADn1kUEJ
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAYgmsslAI8M
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAeZPrfinZKa
"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.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA2vJPv3Mi0U
"I don't know, I feel we1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlVdQ8UhMa5
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAydTEIrE0rg
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out1062Please respect copyright.PENANATBN3ROW5dU
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAOzGYlJech4
"I don't get it though,"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAnTY031TS3k
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6cbHJWpKJ
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write1062Please respect copyright.PENANAigZnSJpiXm
the lyrics?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANA3fDBSTpMbD
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.1062Please respect copyright.PENANABqe9lvR1xf
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAcxGgHBrmDm
This time, I also raised1062Please respect copyright.PENANARSb7II8UKF
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 1062Please respect copyright.PENANALa5yz3mTEC
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fu6AfDdXV
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAE2m1zMfPFD
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAMBbMW2hLXy
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmRtwCWObbQ
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAB6HWrYfg6X
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWL5KzHSrjj
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAv7VDuQjfxz
By the way G-Dragon 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaQVrYnPTvt
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 1062Please respect copyright.PENANASXuSqYqjgY
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And1062Please respect copyright.PENANAsrEoGHAAKf
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of1062Please respect copyright.PENANA6QdnmlRUH1
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1U5LEBrOrn
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA8AxkyGFPZo
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAT0ObymaozS
"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."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdkzuduYYqS
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4iX2crLkmE
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAgxwxYb1aN8
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuZkmIOA87C
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFDS5USmNLf
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuAgKl7LzfW
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAp6Pvi7btHF
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."1062Please respect copyright.PENANASh0CwN0Rxq
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAWrMPJxbnpY
"What truth?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAR2IXpEizFD
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhcxxbNsAZu
Taeyang was right. I was1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFY4AXKYBeb
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvuUhwj8Yff
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAoOMG4G3S3u
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAKB2QkvnEA8
attention.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAYl8KAmf4MM
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."1062Please respect copyright.PENANADuP7IGtZUq
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAuy2QcuBKKF
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel1062Please respect copyright.PENANAycu9HACxd7
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA4kxfPOsaQB
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzN6xFOi2Ds
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.1062Please respect copyright.PENANATE9dOSD2fQ
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAaO9G0CU6r6
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAR4NeE8ywVd
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.1062Please respect copyright.PENANADUbYL8Iwur
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZZwd5ubM9
"But I....." 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAYQrAEYNTMM
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAMXsNlqgQCE
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've1062Please respect copyright.PENANAE9mNYDwJp2
talked way too much, don't you think?"1062Please respect copyright.PENANAkrZXeax8uk
That felt like a slap in1062Please respect copyright.PENANAAKIjDp2umI
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA22KT4aSnvI
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAqeAqPv2ZFQ
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 1062Please respect copyright.PENANADtGRfB4Uoz
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAQIezxeHvwm
about what I thought was best for the whole group?1062Please respect copyright.PENANAX44BGgZN75
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAcMRYEoL290
"That's fine with me," said Mike.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAUKLqhCgZAc
Everyone else agreed, 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAmWcAAOxXgA
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA24wHtU3hBp
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA837NgSwcOu
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAdcYPa0vRQa
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJR1BARrnOy
B, just in case.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAGRboPqOIh3
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.1062Please respect copyright.PENANADTzaJ4bwVp
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAlG05qa37yw
"Not now, Sam. We will 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAzAUIwnqCPs
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 1062Please respect copyright.PENANABu3p4gzTqL
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAZfGzNs51Bd
gave me goosebumps.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJvrskYCaFY
"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."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFULgF1aRa5
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAvKKhnl5LTV
One by one everyone 1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1CTf3iv7YJ
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAVqsc6hrdEC
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem1062Please respect copyright.PENANAJl6aypBDa1
appropriate.1062Please respect copyright.PENANArX2QNJqDJk
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.1062Please respect copyright.PENANABDrtALZ5yl
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAf7pvsFNzp5
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.1062Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jrzm1h6Lp
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAsmqrQqxNOK
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAhpHlTv7ggp
"It's not that. I pissed1062Please respect copyright.PENANAq446Cr6sE0
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take1062Please respect copyright.PENANA9sHgsLV9me
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."1062Please respect copyright.PENANA9ACwLlvlnn
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."1062Please respect copyright.PENANAfOFzTcn4UK
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."1062Please respect copyright.PENANALBZpewcQJZ
Taeyang placed his hand 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAK32MdA9Etn
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He1062Please respect copyright.PENANAPeJbUASaVX
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.1062Please respect copyright.PENANAFnBRplJ15e
I knew I had to hope for1062Please respect copyright.PENANA2lEL2jLoVJ
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut1062Please respect copyright.PENANAw20RBwu8Ly
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAnf98gGm4rG
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 1062Please respect copyright.PENANAsbFel5hNz7
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 1062Please respect copyright.PENANASWuPlP9K5v
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
