The water felt like a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbb0RaKmAI
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVpnvhCGgT
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1yA9TkgN4
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ8GdsUivJ
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJIE6SMA3n
breathe. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcOLSUB3AP
I pushed myself upwards 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnyc1MATan
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXYnHdZAEZ
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XArueds47
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWRBM47Obd
edge.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhrFoyyPJK
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjos9korGE
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1BrnzENza
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvC3g3lmrH
I looked ridiculously 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw62UPAeTMo
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGCOSgLGbq
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP6DljbCWe
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxqmSfKh0f
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI1Slvt5ja
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAStz7WgtEj
I looked around me and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmER1mvIRs
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZNwAvUMTR
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF6KxO1ofd
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMQYBgTe5N
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX3dP7Qe0V
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IMzESUZKa
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHIzJuh3wX
I heard Zoey and the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvvP9JiUwy
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFuKE5s7Ig
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSRXe5UqRT
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zc0gsYVFM
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKsuMhW7m3
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZtGVioHMY
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP12endbFBS
"I already told you, I'm1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUFdU8yx10
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWWL4RY3kk
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPc1CNyo1M
from anyone.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7UEV0QFEC
I made my way towards GD1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLQ6TFKApL
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOxLOpvIuP
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx11rUpSIgk
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH8kUGbaOP
"Oh, man, Sam," said 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAbInyxQx6
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJddnOg8qB9
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJR3YIouCM
game. Hope you didn't mind."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9gj5OIdPO
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUcqxL3Oen
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax5HetyGZB
"I told you, our 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqy5CyeCLQ
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea2HDeWL69
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfXNytemb8
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFlrT7ebJB
Daesung.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU7jhqs16m
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnizbZzIJ20
I dialled Lee's number 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM7VC70Fyu
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45OghNGvgh
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob0DqJdL1R
They would know soon enough.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUApT5yRk64
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrEwhxXTcu
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVj6Zo0bZI
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFt8RxHXwb
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbSDXqbCvL
"No, not yet. But you 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc23ZYjgJZ
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIEZUImb4J
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkcwS21f9f
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb02T8SuIxk
"Okay, I'll be waiting."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUe9jaMp9R
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnrYMyLmiF
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ78k8IT1K
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79kQqzmIgC
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPGcWKx4gd
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhhGD9BfE9
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCYjaQ3h1e
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLgxRY2qvv
I shook my head. I was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBsAjPDmLk
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GNiib1D4n
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWkusPhzEC
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFlANJv28w
After walking a few feet1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8qdQjeo4v
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqiFwlUQR7
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiZNEi2xeH
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRPvaUukBx
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFsauTQ3WU
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xizr0PUqQ
None of them answered as1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiri9L9IfsV
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhiAhxFqcP
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wooAfqnEE
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSIDM52KZU
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vimhB475T
"I wasn't going to say 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoYlVmgDqH
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiZlIBaxgc
you would want to hear from me is advice."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHtTe4ptm9
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuJXGKmbWw
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JMllL7xJ0
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO6c7dILfh
"I'm still upset, though."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DkaQbLuzS
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y0OqdUjW1
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwZEvIX4oT
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgVjM6AUtP
I gave TOP an assuring 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNN0dHvUhl
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBODTLdJx64
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ0BPXiLIf
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAemLSQqkD
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjUs43mBK0
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw0TqUdDpf
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVBNgwgxCf
We all found ourselves 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa87h8TTsC3
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3kbZhqm49
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhsw2A6rbi
were waiting for me. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbEeIiX6wS
"Hey, Sam, you don't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPFhigWkN5
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5usENuxku
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D5zWaBZNt
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSXHtkTz2V
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2FWC158SP
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrHV9ONwcy
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNonTM83Y6
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwLY5yIPTu
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqVjKUON5C
I had my eyes closed 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMW30IOoVW
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPWAkqSDbn
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y4pBHn1xl
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNofs0FMxRp
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvfY5Kuhes
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazO4Fvte9t
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8CGc1vgUX
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEysMEQ1rYE
Taeyang led me to his 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaqaI1g99J
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5TRqP5y2R
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMLdtFiv9j
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuc8ov4WEo
In about thirty minutes,1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS4aCpTO6T
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusXBcxtDZe
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNluakR9p1
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHFKy1snWJ
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhygsBzAUJH
appeared out of the elevator.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPglx8ONbhP
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAGnZ6DGLX
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7kKUUz9ww
Lee who stood behind 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLheI7uKqg
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA2b86lLxd
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgHSPKODAA
other things in mind.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK3z1kg4lU
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOaiVif3Zs
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzajeGho0a
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43InanJn0V
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVinE3vVmX
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03YrJbyj4r
"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."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYJMsUzvZa
There was an awkward 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrOaec6mm7
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLEomcmrqe
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj6rqys5jq
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmp3sk9HuL
"Well, I hear the press 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8dMyGjYSO
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t9K8AFyDg
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYdnCIeEK3
"That won't be 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PP2YXwpZj
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpvrZ8XYyJ
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSkL71A9TO
go to the press looking all wet."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vpjeOmC4x
I breathed out a sigh of1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMZ2h84WNh
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGGCUBn9pw
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ubExJRvmp
"In the meantime, you go1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBiqgrNBe3
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujbaFhkjSd
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfQuCechkZ
I nodded my head in 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh59Wsuobl
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUddGkVWjJU
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHXcyTtN0d
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVdBcuSPG2
"Alright," I said 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y3w5LVpLV
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPl8BwCXxe
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEZsnjEgDn
I was only making things worse.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzWlQHdLIC
Before I turned to leave1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb4dFSYBDF
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGNRo4sQUP
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g27NqwofU
one.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZg64bLhBx
***1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8T2fids97
I sat on the couch all 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSt6Q3u2e3
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWkXWXUKS9
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TmmaC6Hmr
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNpwFFB5iX
I had a box of paper 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBvB6QIEEU
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4OgSvMqHf
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWDn3OGWGH
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CNlMvog1r
I continued watching the1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DSDyC1r07
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBLLMzl8Rw
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9vGo72QIG
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ewnPjy0G
"Never better," I said, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZW3dUjtoC
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3QZp09qPJ
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg6kbedvhH
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HLUAUkMtG
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxOR5y4vxc
"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.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCllINTHCUw
"And the others?" 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5VXnHk7Fi
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx0zSwrQIo
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6fHtUbPDv
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWno1l5132
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPtbnOnIyY
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguZDoAnvtm
"You don't know or you are?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHQMIzwI4U
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.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBUXjHgqs9
"I don't know, Tae," I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekzrqXodmo
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkPZjP5yTN
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62N2O6eCTe
forget all that happened yesterday."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TZkiZzGyg
"Ya, I understand. They 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBa9RifJae
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fLULfKQWA
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTFBFaKeAb
going to get."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3bGh2RgHe
I looked on at Taeyang 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc51zEC0Il
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7udThNxW0
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqNgkciT77
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULhrKhBQdC
who was as tough as nails.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5RAbsA42C
Last night, I took the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m6U7AGNvy
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vVybgild0
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQy66pJfFr
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qv7YrE22H
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZm6T6qoaV
Apparently, the managers1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lcnaKSec2
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqSwPoKBdj
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2YyFWyZ0K
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEK9lMxy4b
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCSwXMEuHC
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8QQzL0H9f
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4VP87v3Gd
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i0a53QNK1
and the reporters.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYmE9Jq0nN
After my confrontation 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Diwzug4H8
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCBRox3ADE
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f0nFFKIdt
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvz9ikXqDS
"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."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWNx247CaG
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKziyrIHjb
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0UCRvVl1p
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8aKUBwXIq
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfn71GHRMo
"Have you tried talking to GD?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3Gvu8zgQo
"To be honest, I haven't1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3WQSCnn2t
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46FTufwN84
slap him in the face if I see him."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCGOijfJy2
"I don't doubt that."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHyiLQQgsZ
"And thank goodness my 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5rGxfyCL7
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQxnY2BzRM
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AjRAO4Kxv
want to do is watch some TV."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEy559mLU6
I quickly drank my 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L2V5oz6tW
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQukx6hHTf
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWZBS8UMOg
to.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzhbqMJ1iy
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡormbpioYdH
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE57BoLP7GM
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUPh1AIIk5
"Nope."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLYBqQITpv
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAZnJgZCAG
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB73Dx6FRd
Taeyang didn't say 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HxopS3qgx
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI97Zf5ZrA
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPfbTdEZ2N
"I know you fought or 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRaHgOvAu8
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CbNtGd6xu
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OXCQdS51E
I noticed Taeyang smile 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Eu6Ltjio
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgjpVRpEgM
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hf20MXZMj
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D4zDdnOlt
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvXlATcIwx
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMPBhMkIQh
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKVYKdJj71
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSqEkn9BBp
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6L9pklRwC
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbVFGSP1a4
Before I could finish my1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pZTE96UJ7
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBQFuQDA7f
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ESOkwkMvM
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNDKckYb4K
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EnI78OO2H
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKd0JIPHU8
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ4wkxLWPZ
"Yep, cheers to that." 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP3vdDHbKr
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCqo3EsV2g
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGIpDAAOeQ
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFGrV2e0ou
"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."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGxsLbcB48
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlDtdrA1lh
"Wow, that sounds personal."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnQO48k8yT
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdl90b2i3a
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKht3MSpki
"I think I've a better 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHNI64zwqq
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmLHKcekvj
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJPEwoDNBB
lyrics. It's better that way."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh8uleTQ3Y
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3di2uoxDio
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHoLKaLHeV
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstryMhdc1K
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG0XyavAbW
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1G0BP78bl
"Haha, good point."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocwAp3kd5I
Taeyang and I continued 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27gKuS0oEd
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrslPbgOBi7
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvCE4sw1cm
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4hktcurJC
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefDP5NLu9n
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26EMgDOhxA
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDfyfPP397
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VGrmnXfgE
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzvvsAJl8z
While the two of us were1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6E4nUby0m
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqZKRWSiMs
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBKZUOUw4h
I quickly went over to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvIOr07ojZ
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhktO8KCRP
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXRcLNhXY2
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQEI2CYUT7
come up and I put the receiver down.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22XDyJMfwh
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToHOPd60AF
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2XbaU3i7a
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXDNyWFVHo
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgABIBBwY7S
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFICWuGA9x9
"Eww, that pillow 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSCkaqS9UQ
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrTKbEWdWU
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkspIL8YkAe
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrBY3JpJBr
A few seconds later, we 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JedoplIlz
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aHhciDn7F
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41RdIIiXI5
holding a box of chocolates.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMEcV3DBsR
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xzb8kF79k
"Ah, no, the panda is a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlkJlbx9C6
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcGK9TkIGr
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMtvEGxVEh
same time.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBglLxatqx
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTboxUT6eC
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvTE7oxIY2
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR89ahSf6h
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2CR0stesC
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5A2mBdFZC
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRD71Wupnl
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemNUuYlmKg
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIyyOyYBYl
"For goodness sake, I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen0n69T5j9
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPGElUXz9M
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolD2tLXEG4
scared with me."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTmTfOM8IS
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb9KbfsZPA
I took the panda in my 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXigaCbEAvJ
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJEKgI2MA5
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncrzFhXhE7
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHGrVoZAao
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKX9bsns41
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ9tyShu9x
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJZZThdyB2
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmiemlP3Hr
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsLfNiAh5x
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsqJoJ1E33
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeheJXc8XRU
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aMceAKnZi
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G7qxQw7ju
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjWAvk6zmU
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy0qvXH1KX
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70bUbB61NF
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWznBLoK1gq
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w23FL26dx
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIf3QYm84g
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGS1FZ3UPx
"Ya, I do."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7BpLxtAL7
While the four of us 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHYQKqTXTy
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlqkdLKuxr
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB687d7LdZX
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixyNJDSg08
said:1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH51l8cCo64
"Hey, Zoey." 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIYzK7AVkN
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5WnYQb9My
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCAQEMvZpq
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAoyQTrESv
"It's good you came to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAiTpEmXyM
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k5BfDZzqk
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTybcd522hx
couch.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJznzn2DnLB
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk2iKVmlCb
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGBhpwFuSB
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMWty5Wrjq
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPhOtSXSCG
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3hgIeUzFg
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdsQQeSnNn
I tugged at my panda's 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3QWIvsUwK
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuov4kWp7xw
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPN3KDDpUR
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8GJc72iRr
The Toxins came back to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX0LvRnZ3t
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fmhYCw14k
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjoCmulwpg
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8uFtIbikZ
For a moment, no one 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EJsuU6p8e
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63JIEkQrYS
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBTE5aQ9GG
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0kxhAhkok
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfa9GM3iAt
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78AWoQcPxy
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfvtinU3Ho
I stared up at the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkBj7fqVqM
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb45csXPk0
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmP44Bi6w6
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6b4VRCgtF
When Zoey tried to reach1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYffaev42m
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39BZI7w8Gu
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwBSBoGeXe
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ137D82DSZ2
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvrFo1oLjT
Zoey looked hurt with 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWz02feBGz
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJYd4sFSwQ
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsi3osj987
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWzjJbMjsY
I didn't answer as I put1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaGE4can5J
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs25AnA8f8
was still mad, especially at Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7je0KQ5WUl
"I know it's a little 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOAVzA8r8j
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUZyNuFeec
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqdOra0XuO
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiYHjxGFez
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVNr1v9Mw1
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6aRmIrYyP
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj5AcCVL4h
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Q1H0UNnW
"I don't like it when 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIWBP2MWrO
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ349bveY0QE
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJtoj3cSvc
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS90MjgZLV
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa7qVjPAJ6
sorry, Sam."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uNYT0OOCe
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D4Pr7uUWJ
"I'm sorry too," said 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcpJy05eUI
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH11hD9ZpdB
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvK5fu6I6s
for you to talk to us again."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfREdZ1r3u
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTD95jikkT
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo3oN6o5rQ
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8blxwOuYc
leader."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLYYmEKw5I
I still didn't say a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXQyk5yV3E
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwkd4e86yi
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjzNXvGJN5
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKiQQUw5oR
them despite the awful things they put me through.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAFGEVDPGi
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvg7rlYsdd
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwJWXk6585
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS2y3uWKsS
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDMuj7J8Cl
"I'm mad and pretty much1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurF3622hY8
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x0tayLkop
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR45yU9XXz
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg393otU4Tc
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK5pWyoimY
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IdpSCxPeF
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP7hqcgo4L
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mJgV5aQB3
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfbHkIdJrL
"Ah, you! Always acting 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYVrjEHlao
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kEpxx8TrS
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIKs9vZvbb
catch it anyway."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40QTlau2nI
Christine, Daniel and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtccrAQOeNz
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRuJR4b8H8
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhE4S4Gt88
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrmN8BakwZ
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDq2VmI5NC
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZi6xgdaG3
"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...."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hgh6J5MS1
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx4mSXNHwn
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ278fhvbon5
"Don't worry, you won't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sQnGqcVoX
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVHNCE01LB
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXyBeOwWLV
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XtUUU0QP6
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwi3Wo4PQa
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZpLVlcqYK
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4XSlVfafr
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHtPbtQ1rJ
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqI9Bo4QGd
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6XDVkFbOj
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp9OpuXBT3
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeW0pWlSro
At that moment, I had 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcxd60gLDk
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDPhuU2JFd
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU8qZrmNOk
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHua76EVdXs
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6xkITy3rh
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTs05mrY8P
Zoey got the box of 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOujqQSuNGC
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFxoqMH3wT
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl5fOOBJpz
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvk8oVWlah
I was in the passage as I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUgHgKurPp
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8ejVo7O5C
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGpVmkem8n
in what felt like sadness.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm8AqfmhE8
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoXApSmujT
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi8sPGkDxq
I heard his footsteps 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuj4kASOoy
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWvxXOk1xl
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUUQ5lrlMw
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5pJHgclfb
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eaQlsZRap
"Are we really do this right now?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeZ6gc5FDU
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDHF2wOawm
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvL8YSB5wY
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR0ZG8J3Bz
"Nope." 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtWrpE0nML
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzmOl8XScM
My eyes almost felt like1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fqrGkJBxn
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UyPIqE6Au
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnUWW4zW3c
I turned to look at him 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoncnJxXcv
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwRBmQxBrF
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUWiDrZtfb
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVE6m7358Y
"That you're surrounded 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39n2kRCzcr
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXRlwuPhGN
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqisVLT9kWW
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PWQhKUHHD
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLtqIlkJBm
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIen1JerQI5
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCGu1OJNzi
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvATb5mYnJo
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7O8HUjwS1
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljfSbAVwrb
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9foy8fGUXa
Apparently, I couldn't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16IPYJFXCO
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAvkMxBwyj
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUotsEFpKM
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7iSCrT2a9
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6UpcdXi3m
death.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL5x8BmpOp
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzzREPL15c
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCq7flScMv
Taeyang folded his arms 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhfOPIr5ot
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9CiDxdfoe
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQOVg9M9Yy
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSULusICo6K
"You're may think you're1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYe3RiTges
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONlQqazZZW
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xyhy144th
but feeling hurt."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WWmXRBVf7
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOc11D54SQ
"But I wouldn't feel 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPY7Eysf0c
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrPvtM5A71
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9AeDlVbYh
at Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC9P4ZZXMS
Taeyang gave me that 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhzTtuNwti
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30RvW2A5gf
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWMItU61vj
while in return, he nodded.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF41nSKlZ5r
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66srWBeaND
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI29faz69gZ
I didn't say a word as I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBcj87neqg
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHqlQwcY1B
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYhNXwjfF9
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8ai4FiyfL
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiorhrF8yz3
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPez3fLeei
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbMfaNRF4Q
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80vbUAfRzM
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfUJAfn1QD
If there was ever a way I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNJk6bHg9z
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzG4Q8LmR4
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUyDYUL4ji
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ScPvsZFk
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bHWHKXOPd
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r4y5wDqP5
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.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAe2h7TA4f
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmm2oZtLeU
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzMtL1ytt3
"Well, I'm just asking,"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTslzk0H0QR
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn06EWbeS20
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OAX18cdvg
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70KZM6IV4v
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyADSy5Aj6e
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GPDjutqjO
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tYmPLlOh3
I pressed the button 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq5vQclmEX
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx97aWYJeQ
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFell7udbIt
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUjk1Oz7Nq
We went to the main 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YoWvSwiwe
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVfCqPLggI
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L6Y3xulzE
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXqq3scYGc
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBAj82ljSP
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG1iR5Pfgc
"To be honest, we just 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nan2yYMOl
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREFsVMbuZD
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCoO5WXMSN
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ea9wXjHyR
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gtUqjuAZ3
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.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kzyMNxRT1
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOy1pPckBD
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmtwEL3aFm
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzENkOMUCW
"Nah, I don't think so,"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72IegukJwG
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhe9ulStxR
he would be treating me like that."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvd7D6k4EN
"Mmm, I don't think so,"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeJVEYJJfF
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IJgNbSKps
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ho5J5TDAv
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7lpv5SkiU
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0EMrNTy3U
"Then, stop trying to make one."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1ijQtdImw
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN0JEb59q8
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnO2fyUbSt
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD5JPWqx86
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwNmmfDFj6
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9UUWmF9fm
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTgHuWND0T
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqWBos8vm2
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrELrxzu8qL
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUgxK80dir
I didn't even dare try 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ15HftCkVm
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpRQhtgDRF
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq0IPZI6C3
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskSuaFVF6g
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEwATLbEU8
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6D4FLePUz
I heard footsteps coming1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HpGpd7CrG
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ6SU0xrng
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7OQhJCp7l
look at me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtXy1ag5ym
"Are you okay?" he whispered.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6sxVOgau6
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdTZA8PwqN
I soon felt strong hands1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bX7KJz8XN
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYs3M9oask
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FPPx3NXML
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJCOLT9VZg
"I'm a whole lot better,1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVFwRAevMG
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsFgw5J7vK
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkksiJfzawV
"Glad to hear that."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIq4vF4w0Z
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.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NPHyzgOno
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1c7MvH1HU
I was planning not to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Ts1BYhNC
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthhxPTwbz9
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUIzq2vgyh
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgkvC6dnfn
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AEBGBZvNk
under the bridge.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx1wGE4GRi
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ro8j9HVf
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuwZp5Kh5q
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU2YSzhr2n
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdpcP545IJ
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHtRldK2vO
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLPGlWSsJD
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL2tl2aflo
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPZyjuYK9n
The waiters soon came 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjHCw7IaHd
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms8qzUDrsW
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTcCOoD6d9
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oKISVoDv4
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d7Div4gMj
For a moment, I felt 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekT7KAl8y9
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BublLOyqq
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtYt24ulj2
me to forget that I was ever mad.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkx0BsBl8u
"Mmm, this is so 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv41sR5mte
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0JztlgnQN
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCJ5IdB6Bq
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN566XZYJnw
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EthpwuOg0
"Anything for you, Sam,"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL18yAPFHXo
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUJkLlep8D
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMK0QTFcKQ
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd89WInSJm4
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGxqhHmwk4
I had just taken in some1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnOFIiDNl6
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjiSEH0Nox
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40fVs6gemn
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0T5E3XZAr
just said.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2NadB4aDS
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCQ81DBSYP
"Well, ya," Christine 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C6wk1XMZR
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmyVVlASRt
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3aMqtB96K
special lunch to lighten your mood."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl28zN6Y0M
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C076Smp2G
"Thanks for the lunch, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhg21aIoAo
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCDusrGMx6
sweet of you to have come up with this."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5oKOSFTIR
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYHXOdgWbN
I almost felt like 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzThCHFnUuD
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGKaSd67FN
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi3o4Q51qY
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59us7hmrXU
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOXXfghKuz
turning into rage?1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZnCJJZwXk
Oh, goodness. I needed 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0Qw2Tyz8o
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpkm64oj6X
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLt1LwNYj0
I tried to push aside 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY3QPgDrHT
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg2Vf5Q7nd
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsobS4VDhbw
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6lCtbl0IV
chocolate moussé.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVVmuQj5so
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyNTiY5zRw
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPGDtmcNoF
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvekj76hTHk
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9RztBQJyN
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ5T88P51X
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gJfDY7130
I didn't wait for 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOLgQXZYuF
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5P8AEbRhQ
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1LKhGaRQX
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2SDOY9Em1
heaven.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14fXxDSPKB
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRQbTUdSKm
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KM0HBdBOR
"I don't care," I said 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc27nenCWB
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBSm0t0VrB
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoRIEtbIMa
G-Dragon smiled back at 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9qXdkwrU4
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVEsqBKHN
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY7ekQspHz
away.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qNGdEdbW4
After dessert, we all 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULiu2Lsj4K
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuR0xBfG6T
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXK0DeUfpw
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbqpnyHXkj
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTB2ladzvB
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLwKLjeCXx
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI0AeVwvwq
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R2JrrtHtI
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks7aQZ2Jbj
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflbZqVxAGS
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvmoWDborl
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzq3l6NXHn
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UEzYsZd5z
"What stuff?" TOP asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaK4bp5AHX
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueyM0Fj5Hg
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K0Cnxjbwb
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FCx51NgPE
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi7cwHPVZO
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN24C64Ig7
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWSa5ZmDqj
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwEiyaLQgm
"Wait, what's going on?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6l2BLg31I
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eULZwsaVH
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFhinAM9RY
"I thought we should all1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6FxnJT1Pt
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5Nw7P27QX
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6p2IVHs9g
"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.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNZHsiEuyA
"I don't know, I feel we1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD3Ohg6OYe
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx6qi7zQRK
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM66vcEkHVR
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhHeggdGum
"I don't get it though,"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvs9om7xbn
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhvb3zrlHb
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiTtDft6qN
the lyrics?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXGf0KQs2j
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUJR7hnikQ
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0FaV1Mn5g
This time, I also raised1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OgpUI7rex
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OxD55ekxi
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZIxTq9FNP
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ErhtYmPi
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdceiszTmm1
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g9BJABWaS
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT7foxu4vP
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfQJF2Cd92
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLaq4rR8gm
By the way G-Dragon 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7z6FG8NUC
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ276NbGe4uV
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8RxQ2saIm
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbSp3m8ke7
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjUkcU9RPJ
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetTQ647Aq7
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsljDTT4KG
"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."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbUf8vPv75
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKrxZhkEAF
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCT5DByevo
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkZz9jjh8S
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEAqs4vE4D
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OGbnJBOsX
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeim4DGsiT
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2LQYnnySJ
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoDkXMbxCI
"What truth?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxCUUkPr8k
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDLXrS0C8N
Taeyang was right. I was1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhQtEfdtvs
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNXunXFNp0
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3owYRGXEi
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2PY979AEK
attention.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ9z0jBx0h
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqwehcvc4w
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmOc0DvsPo
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpFQJBwPlx
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rDUjwKGPb
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNa0mGtB8l
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPxKHbOtQH
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgYS3cW7Gc
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9NjGkzxWa
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDaOrdxsGQ
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBtYOKIhIn
"But I....." 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nk2B2e3uP
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WcoSaTFhC
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwZYnRSVfR
talked way too much, don't you think?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB57U29l6r
That felt like a slap in1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGSm3hoj55
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIksJmyDC5m
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFyzsb859t
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqUD9wYaub
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYzS9sJug3
about what I thought was best for the whole group?1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe6sOloJAA
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGCRopyIO0
"That's fine with me," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRdAOwgbsG
Everyone else agreed, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjnO92RCSU
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bojXEEorJ
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi15IEs4vm
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmJiRwFDiq
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtYOfFefoh
B, just in case.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxktzi3GlP
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUsn80WMIg
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PbYj32NVu
"Not now, Sam. We will 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefdNmbi6kL
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHthBosaee
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ6dn0CHkv
gave me goosebumps.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MxLpLlDny
"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."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRK1XvS6UK
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExgTCnfjuQ
One by one everyone 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil85zEafHF
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm2fff4uGP
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIZJBCxTyh
appropriate.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SbijsBqm8
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2II2d0vfM
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnVxdTIbRe
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqhrHYz2hW
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQyDHuvm3y
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzFvIPx1N2
"It's not that. I pissed1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURMq4wbEYm
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NOI9sQc05
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5SFGlcJ0q
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXEOhmgz2U
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASc9g66Q0g
Taeyang placed his hand 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pBfq6o7CG
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dptO0fmpT
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvRSGGMYfm
I knew I had to hope for1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3VRXqgJaF
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5dH3scPNk
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ16N2VxlaA
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfZEmG8Z3I
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeqLdnLdUD
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
