The water felt like a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ9bifsEbA
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbgdUeelVj
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PSeINoI2R
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnxsDEH4Kv
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFAemDaEE1
breathe. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EVUKzihag
I pushed myself upwards 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bJ1aGQ0bg
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNu8hHkX4k
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM0KgjZDOG
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZetf798qzD
edge.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbcom0xBz8
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuAfKKFGHD
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcUadr6pKn
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrAap7Rizr
I looked ridiculously 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BoHZKLTVx
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFO3T7fCgA
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4RuWZvYur
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5BPAdr9r8
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa7KRTJouX
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9DFdPqTbw
I looked around me and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CSMygDqQ5
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSas6uiKqkg
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7omAyHgxy
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQznuBNag5
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsw8ItaY1G
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ryqcFhoNO
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0obLf4dOI
I heard Zoey and the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9dVXiEWb4
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rnCfZ8J0y
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PU4eq9xUq
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aZOsk5qjF
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JO5d2YAhp
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WspAun7X4
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAM0rwc8Yz
"I already told you, I'm1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrOTz8GQNR
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MqhG1Dlek
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz3lovPcG0
from anyone.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVibMUtfiW6
I made my way towards GD1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RRIEyo8LA
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqwNn9Ocnb
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCk28dsgZX
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBFlTALYhF
"Oh, man, Sam," said 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdPSvuVzh4
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJNqINviWM
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qJoGPDHUs
game. Hope you didn't mind."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz1fXOHbrp
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE87s4vXhXO
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CraEvJCGr
"I told you, our 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zeWiRDEBX
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnKanOUVmv
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1hzgfxMo7
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xs2G1qhO4
Daesung.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJyz5NdMOW
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiXxCbOlBr
I dialled Lee's number 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2buN38KHYv
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfjvmldD32
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6tB8yAg5z
They would know soon enough.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrAxzABqw0
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTNam6Vaqo
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe624X9N8E
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrUerdA40Y
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z8Uqi0a8p
"No, not yet. But you 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjgnljKEzC
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEE0irMAxn
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApyMzIhxAI
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS5NbPkM5g
"Okay, I'll be waiting."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qy17aig5I
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIGtEXpz70
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6flzr7z0x
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymDzfrRm1Y
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAwsHskSq3
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3zlw4QDL7
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcbBjUkbcj
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0aB4uzHe2
I shook my head. I was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoadBta8UF
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9jI03aj0Y
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70SXNCXC5u
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPOodwDxyd
After walking a few feet1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhIYAjX7PA
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabcVIbJm1I
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjIqc1gYEi
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhQY6N6PKR
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsQrvqhPIv
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YcfIbW0WA
None of them answered as1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOflV7hMIu1
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESVlOTehG3
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijB08z6ChC
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpMRySQMyA
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoNvF1lXOl
"I wasn't going to say 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWfxP6nltO
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYqnCCz6jX
you would want to hear from me is advice."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom2nZ3uRfs
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblZtx8iwbo
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLChuMUaz1V
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTOSZyjbzp
"I'm still upset, though."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8xUj0LQo1
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzknjwuLrzb
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVBvP83wg4
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYickSR74Kh
I gave TOP an assuring 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtwdfH88wD
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfcIkSg3Qf
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw2XMbUUkd
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE19keMZBb
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPh6AyMs42
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUJ9gKJtNx
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GFF0gq6ZJ
We all found ourselves 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1WXrot330
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnvnc3oeV0
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgTGiKzaMz
were waiting for me. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwfj8X8mgw
"Hey, Sam, you don't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKQSOR7ssl
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bngLytiUr
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxAMMkoFru
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIU6uKc2vY
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTP7fgqhLD
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmieJx4YYES
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn3mCkfFX0
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tc5nhNxqq
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4dskajlfB
I had my eyes closed 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eMDCstEmj
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHWZNaszoK
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5T9f3gviO
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7xABKCGlr
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZJhJuIVg7
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzOtMRNERS
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrnuYuJsdp
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XEJgGOl0j
Taeyang led me to his 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrEqzx04KD
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5re2tTB3AY
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8mM7DgrD6
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxN8osN7zP
In about thirty minutes,1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YgnNiOChn
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8z6nVykle
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh53YaEDHO
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L1JbdYfeG
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkNcejkpus
appeared out of the elevator.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLFqPrSbLL
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS9EYHpMW0
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdUtryhnzO
Lee who stood behind 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuf8sSGwJN
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RMYzCvgTG
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeanf6FvWgI
other things in mind.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61wYUHme7l
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlWKheqS30
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBSdYksg7s
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSFgZ77vEH
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIHpz4L375
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6SE2G4u8V
"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."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzr6ijMI2R
There was an awkward 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH5Nao2UOl
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFpawfsj0p
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSjh5g3LfT
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0bKXyHH1b
"Well, I hear the press 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJTEKY8uCQ
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sfqYO8vvX
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMOkYWa5vL
"That won't be 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eEFYQpMFr
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuD4yYSOgw
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDU5A3nXnm
go to the press looking all wet."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RmKT2GPM0
I breathed out a sigh of1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFufv0HlQv
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1TNvRRVtN
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpG7nbdDvA
"In the meantime, you go1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94b1aYcQjd
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv67bJJXTqN
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzuZlBKwxE
I nodded my head in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUfPWGsTxW
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w9Nu8ppCz
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGfEQrFi0j
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI5mVBNBLa
"Alright," I said 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Z045khwI
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt7cfYhvjs
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYfUTrJpHP
I was only making things worse.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBp0GK7yET
Before I turned to leave1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51HoxtD77e
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnp14Y2Vf4
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFVt9LviQN
one.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTCHfGURbj
***1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUARYoZkHzK
I sat on the couch all 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnjGyL28iU
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU0LvNtsu2
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8akgFXC4Fu
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcGlBjGW8y
I had a box of paper 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLmJuoLz5I
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizNaQuSBnm
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqP4CmqcNK
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4xiPc8sf8
I continued watching the1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VhXtdEFGM
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBWHiT59Gx
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX1HS2Ddyi
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmX5WdpJjc
"Never better," I said, 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ86bzbFys
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1q2PumpVi
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUXRhCyKEI
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFe1X6V4VH
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjrSnC96wO
"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.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO33GgqSSz
"And the others?" 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt4zmx8yAX
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO2xzVmc3e
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vPYhGJYQy
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE5mqlXrLi
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsdmxTm5Co
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Buy48kayM
"You don't know or you are?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u0essyTAW
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.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfcXD3AaKx
"I don't know, Tae," I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KmFV6wTww
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUGRGH5TsD
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYn2d7EMud
forget all that happened yesterday."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo0MnknV1Q
"Ya, I understand. They 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8IvTnHBP2
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrhVVTXcLV
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadf22D7uMV
going to get."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEocaAnf7Yo
I looked on at Taeyang 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPqREzEUMf
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRD5jokO3c
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2troZ232Jf
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPTjybFrfC
who was as tough as nails.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC5fgdLdDU
Last night, I took the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUB0mQHenW
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6eJPgRc42
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpvygmm2Fe
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT2Sk3NiQd
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryfDXSiVSA
Apparently, the managers1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W0LsPAXMK
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJucCtBePBX
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69ZL9TV8Bx
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRorI1OKIj
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjtpYmKNf2
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdcaP6TsbQ
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNYcGAJT7l
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbRL3HHVl6
and the reporters.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRbxnAKEY7
After my confrontation 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKv0TjhAFf
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8mgWqznVs
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQrsDZWmty
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMZo309zfz
"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."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSEITDW4Qv
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaprWo0EzU
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx3FX1TtXQ
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkZNBg3InR
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFxq6yTtmj
"Have you tried talking to GD?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYl95RMvsx
"To be honest, I haven't1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI54jvObwrI
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHjWs960Ut
slap him in the face if I see him."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqexeNrDclE
"I don't doubt that."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDhQUgtq1A
"And thank goodness my 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTlq7rg2Bc
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ015juM6MbH
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVDD4CmSog
want to do is watch some TV."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF6mgcKbLN
I quickly drank my 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsgta4yUQ5
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hsSY8K3W5
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9a9jobekF
to.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0hkZTzAje
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo6kLcVKsv
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0BGQBmSfn
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx6wdhOe0C
"Nope."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRikotm2sA4
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrAozg8M7S
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82CssaXHEX
Taeyang didn't say 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OtTHnjxV8
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZBENwhxAx
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DpXwRiYKd
"I know you fought or 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTp7VjoqBD
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m8eFpoaNp
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBAJoDuvrY
I noticed Taeyang smile 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVNYFUn3yw
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ANCCpg0XG
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWRCxMx2UL
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeqzq7hzen
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj3QVltSZY
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbM87LuHt6
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVDSPrBKuX
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIT8q8o8s3
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYanD7UzxDo
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvniV9pdza
Before I could finish my1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ2kHRQJcw
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaVF89OnW3
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kH7IXpXEb
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAKKtg6HRZ
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1LmrBLPL3
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8AFdYcY11
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmEgzNpRjJ
"Yep, cheers to that." 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY0Rd36wEn
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCameYbv37
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4yZjDQVj2
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlx7d9kHpF
"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."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsYQGibu9d
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E9sq7qRDN
"Wow, that sounds personal."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2AqXCeQUz
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsSBpkTBtW
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEw1o88iMI
"I think I've a better 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fMr6JpR1L
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqzmww1gMQ
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFrSzPV25y
lyrics. It's better that way."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ct1XGf55g
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm0NwSnDKw
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxYLAg667G
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmpeU7upUH
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumsbnu01bH
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAWxJBKjvV
"Haha, good point."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEbomn4SDV
Taeyang and I continued 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wGAXRQz2j
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJOipFKHOu
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtkzb577Rk
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FZe9sfkV3
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOTDPrs14o
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxuacikRnk
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5rI9nH2dF
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nEHKOOdxN
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnIIiAq0Cj
While the two of us were1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAln7VjcfCM
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xCmAcgALS
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjef6IMraW
I quickly went over to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdE20GYZEO
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX9kU3QuGo
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrqlxhelrK
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA8mlQzTfk
come up and I put the receiver down.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX7rq0WaX3
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcptWdccWLE
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8IXGDAPuH
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSimveL3bX
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9UEyotgUJ
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaWhxw9id1
"Eww, that pillow 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1ihkTNsFe
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCZyxEGJIW
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGs6RIEh45
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVndbfflUeB
A few seconds later, we 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloQxleRmoA
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULcGxhSElj
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8895ykzJGn
holding a box of chocolates.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgASEytNKG
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUlqOkrG31
"Ah, no, the panda is a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0gIgDguoe
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytBNNDlTwo
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHJGi1lKmg
same time.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzgDnTvY7U
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvKZlHIGCD
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVdCefUeSO
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYXev93SjX
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AGoxbvG5l
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr9pv7d8K8
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nXrucBo0R
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmwMvnoCtS
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0IWVU5am7
"For goodness sake, I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dOXGbXrzL
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9lIs8ulqG
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnlWafVHvR
scared with me."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwpbAhR8GN
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrbgRjSVmy
I took the panda in my 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQGIvi4WSs
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP27pSO66n0
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQCqyxuhyc
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk86PrkgKW
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFEFUjXz5J
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYXk5HMhor
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NsrzYhFu4
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNm9TJD6HD
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTvrONjH89
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoQ1q9UF4P
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeT3eJyP8n
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV16BYDGHN
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJWrjNd9RN
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Xq0U5JK8
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf07catjyi
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHraKlNjDtd
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kxze5eQOE
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHuAKHzZHA
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd0AZBfyWX
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr10VazvPB9
"Ya, I do."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnHk1siNEW
While the four of us 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXDgP0gJIT
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm1JpG15d3
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxrSAcHJ8S
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfLfPwA7q4
said:1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt9511pe6r
"Hey, Zoey." 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB6jXof9v2
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBQKxwORQY
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAGOn35XRd
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFen71ZYfsb
"It's good you came to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3N5ZeoIn6
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnn2XeRr1t
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuIlCOmmpU
couch.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5AC4omlDH
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJzPP4Amu5
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvyLRvL6UG
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoC0MPpHHv
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHYY8bn0wi
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvZo9ftAF0
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y2d6UY9R9
I tugged at my panda's 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8dRgu7eZE
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hzq70QsHy
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxz9ENAl0d
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg62yGXcm9n
The Toxins came back to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU9bS3UvuU
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjHDAcgGoU
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgwrBwZ1eO
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYmpXOWqXA
For a moment, no one 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqNA73INR8
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKObw4lGViT
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1d7D6Ix3L
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvstkFg86L
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbVo2iRyHb
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VfLSkREoZ
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQux2apSqp
I stared up at the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbb1fNZ79Y
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE3CRNAroJ
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb18RnZLVgn
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyrltY9ijq
When Zoey tried to reach1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8I9H2IZVH
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51jt6Qlvlq
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDokWydnSo
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceAquhuzqP
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOzoublcx6
Zoey looked hurt with 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0BaGbrJ9p
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSrbzXLw7G
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ap3tTdSno
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡispmMPqjRq
I didn't answer as I put1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbN8oMeopD
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdLEPyhKK8
was still mad, especially at Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNDHsQuKBt
"I know it's a little 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36UUopSCq1
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO4hGK2sFG
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXDd41nfKr
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOVkpKJ41e
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugg4IUyoBs
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrDySsEZS3
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdHGMehsZb
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkuBxZpPeI
"I don't like it when 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKZ5Z7vksJ
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY7YHMUuRK
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSMivzbbeO
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q3960tImU
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VJgh0D85Q
sorry, Sam."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jx4gzX11Q
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGqGbtCqam
"I'm sorry too," said 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19gC1rWBXX
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNaIb42Nxa
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUQKcyTwAz
for you to talk to us again."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPFTW0J4VZ
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJuYoLoQ6v
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0CToBYxxL
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFH89IvOv1
leader."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi4P7vuG7d
I still didn't say a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb0kkidaOA
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWmC2LPQsI
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLPzjqmuDH
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM7CwNz8tY
them despite the awful things they put me through.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpcDaUHPyU
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65ByZettWt
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvSMunhL4F
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMPQWf42Gk
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCPmvm7OqF
"I'm mad and pretty much1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOm0eWghar
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqXZux2CyM
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnDAntIClX
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmHGGpZ49q
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kgofHv9KP
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs0mm5pzCQ
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHfdgV1JaH
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7qpfTmREj
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7t87N3fol
"Ah, you! Always acting 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagIeMQvfmV
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDhJ6IFA3j
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EVLZ3BB0Y
catch it anyway."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg8ZPN57x3
Christine, Daniel and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6rW4ym0o8
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLwZ41eXc7
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsYfaO2MTX
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYYgfswrcZ
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmup7V6bDb
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z2seWhaRW
"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...."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2WPcwEZCV
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMF3op2DJA
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW0pRYbb4J
"Don't worry, you won't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH71uAMu8O
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBYHi5jD29
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1jVdOU5U8
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpCHXK37Xi
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqIUZmC7Og
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM0GeVqJ2B
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpQ3lbOiRQ
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKNBUKZVgD
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oEhwyPk29
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdsf1fnKdg
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNuPC3uldF
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80WObEa9qc
At that moment, I had 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qba5FWiPQ
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QBOBG48A4
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV3KmKUhdY
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8zD017YZL
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KeR6GK5kZ
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIWbAbZPjB
Zoey got the box of 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX47gQEFKz
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivRZmEW2Nm
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShqHptb6rB
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU69IIkbXiH
I was in the passage as I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqneFXyI1x
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztSwrRaiIE
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EHesX2Slo
in what felt like sadness.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoUxTNkH5k
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGNUdsUTT8
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT3BaTaPOl
I heard his footsteps 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ556bDQl8Lr
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRupigEHAv
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRqgAAfI83
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdtI4ZQJrG
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMHI7rozzS
"Are we really do this right now?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0oqvJGmCR
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ASmWEw4Z
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xJf1dCzUL
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys8HWyhae3
"Nope." 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczIAVKG3iN
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZH3k2CaVL
My eyes almost felt like1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLryC7yP6IP
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2tjhdUq9k
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW03Gcu9oAz
I turned to look at him 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1G1TMPMns
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTxSPtcVqp
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUm4cklWRe
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqMyNSdgum
"That you're surrounded 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI05sRAdJs
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzRHXY5Emj
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtw2ukJpq3
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxC3D8n8S0
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl7goTnVqD
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Ae4Gqitq
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm1eTs2zxO
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOMQKHAmUZ
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLUqftXlJ7
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeSao4iu59
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEbdl2tJjb
Apparently, I couldn't 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9tA71p7Pt
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI2hdVY2sd
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuHHh8K5ZY
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1i2SvoEcf
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn1OUMSChS
death.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlitzzwL3Zv
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSEDIYD8HI
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J0KNea1lZ
Taeyang folded his arms 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3beIwoLrhb
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRgYN1NdKi
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAggGu0Ppjb
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYXzJHjfwH
"You're may think you're1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA1vTQbg6E
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5CtzWgg3e
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjURLQ6QsH
but feeling hurt."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoNfdOAFaL
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSdmnf6WKe
"But I wouldn't feel 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawuQ2D9RVQ
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMD92VWCV3
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWulyIz1pW
at Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwoiZjdYXi
Taeyang gave me that 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg0xih61Wq
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYEHlwT6pP
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6yH4K9el9
while in return, he nodded.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckvVhKyjyQ
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUGG7ebexa
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dhna2y5Vp
I didn't say a word as I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvD2Am3Xm5
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitUAwycAln
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1wgxAs5hg
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSY7WV58EE
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW3xegnrbv
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MCsDL8acW
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCcKcYujCR
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE5ocbLKL3
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB5HR8P43U
If there was ever a way I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2EJ9DdxqJ
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDULEHBVe3
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXEscCo0ZZ
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIizQ9df0Co
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UmvLFFtmN
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCAXdvF0kA
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.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuB51KH4xE
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8zyYsHrLv
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxcLa9xYqF
"Well, I'm just asking,"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOSGUQhNSC
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5CtRjsrMJ
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBpsUB7ATd
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjdFfxBAhC
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIm3q2geDv
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfS1BuaL9h
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC5gIYyiC5
I pressed the button 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeLuEv1Zdn
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBIp20BDnD
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJVEpJCSag
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IdSFdVN7K
We went to the main 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSuKvk8qYf
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzytPAIU0U
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNYrO2M7ZW
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKfo8yDEAR
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLuUR8Tiae
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3YcnAjAQp
"To be honest, we just 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVOz9r08l7
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43G2uBtTtY
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QDaYs2UPV
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApycsOhlhz
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKYfBjCZla
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.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbt09njqDz
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFphH7VEhJj
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTJ6iSjLiV
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuy2J5z1Bj
"Nah, I don't think so,"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEthBCvCDg
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIV0WkPGkg
he would be treating me like that."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gOGpw3zoG
"Mmm, I don't think so,"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54gljOdfrV
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VjkDf9H85
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14VMxmJlMI
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxvRjfpab6
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoqiWDuBWS
"Then, stop trying to make one."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K3nCIzNsZ
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWSpY2gGQP
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhkLmN5oJW
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa8grpud1t
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4VctTLRhO
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLGHK2RxEl
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7TxO9oHYY
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYRzBhI8oa
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fMGyghUnH
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m4lh9CIiV
I didn't even dare try 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbu1mSSnLW
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ukChPPtFL
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzrKjPok5E
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5W9jC2uw4
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YcXRDNq59
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK54PYkk8y
I heard footsteps coming1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga1TlmiHU4
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7n8LLMan9
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PnLUKsub8
look at me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeHMPFtvlV
"Are you okay?" he whispered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXja81eCPjz
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa22X6rES80
I soon felt strong hands1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSckfXTIZGl
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhUqujjSOL
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrgY657sx6
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGXpA3NypW
"I'm a whole lot better,1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7eGCpmd9q
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hr0SbVhyt
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMV7m98zU6
"Glad to hear that."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FBd0du0ev
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.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMwFH8qbsw
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bahzBUG0p
I was planning not to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGNTtMGp2P
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7xOGbmRpk
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOZyRRHH2I
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhsBInphfU
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd2z5Flp4K
under the bridge.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU5r79U2wf
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rHdHmHMRc
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoAKyPJhSq
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJnCEppPpb
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBitTHkVH90
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLgrgYPekq
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9TGR0Blve
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ClddvREk
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvKPjpAPH7
The waiters soon came 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe2pSVkh9U
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6dhe0kAPi
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n6VxLbYY7
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtYC80UEbb
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6y68fXCZq
For a moment, I felt 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt8PHnATq6
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUKZujlr04
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoSJwhv2qA
me to forget that I was ever mad.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcp1v7j51m
"Mmm, this is so 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hFuPCMIyj
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmjRJTuui9
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbIJ29YG6e
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kwVgEQd4O
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡget82EfzFa
"Anything for you, Sam,"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzBSjrNz4D
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2sFSVCVdU
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KKNK0Aj0S
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNQfHemIdG
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVbc6aMRnK
I had just taken in some1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvIP73CfS9
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTSkThZcw1
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkfTS9mFVQ
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiTQb2mmic
just said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC8ROCO5EX
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAOEnmhI7E
"Well, ya," Christine 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvuqY8Y2yY
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A9LYHQLvJ
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCOe5naj09
special lunch to lighten your mood."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS16oq579tJ
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QpDWf5OhH
"Thanks for the lunch, 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFZ2IxTIPd
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETervMNgiJ
sweet of you to have come up with this."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9OgGWUpLA
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9isCZ6jev
I almost felt like 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kHsN8wMIs
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7BBJ8EdPf
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkymtnbQwEZ
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL97LF8Uqx
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gO9pbfZ0c
turning into rage?1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdDCw3smF8
Oh, goodness. I needed 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3yobWgks5
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tvZpUSm9B
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1skpnc1qt
I tried to push aside 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5o2FbPQoO
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHZyMtZ7Zp
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OMqd81eRV
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7Y6mBnsa9
chocolate moussé.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYA1M0Vx8u
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUCasOqJrb
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ0gdmWynu
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXnitD1wi8
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mp6uW9xBt
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ3ZUqsIid
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7kWNAToSU
I didn't wait for 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN9WUyR673
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVZqWqsgYq
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyvzPq9xQt
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF6KNVdZMq
heaven.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54SNW8zWg5
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAztVF1EqsF
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69GmAscZwY
"I don't care," I said 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuOBOJZrGe
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDjMq30dwJ
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4XaGL2qfp
G-Dragon smiled back at 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuvp8sL30q
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN0w7tHXGe
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w9SlAGFvs
away.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfYVVETC4Y
After dessert, we all 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi69JQ9YaDD
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknveNCKlDc
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQq5GFcMDN
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBadN7N5pa
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40dddi2GL0
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhA4ZMsen0
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFivf8HawK
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8744jGmIxP
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcvd9SKaFG
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2rme3m5Aa
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvScDbH0PYM
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAewt5wWst
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU0FaIfdxW
"What stuff?" TOP asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd7BCy2Ijh
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9bfinZsYr
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2XIAfM5FZ
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WAm5y6X9Z
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz65NRNU5gX
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgARVxTV7Rc
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz1yXzsbsh
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYCbGwFHqn
"Wait, what's going on?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQIDqWoTfC
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBPIpjle0I
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJktWoiAdX
"I thought we should all1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyFgQRWM2h
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqrFb6cuNm
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡank9Yuez1n
"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.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wgJuN8GQC
"I don't know, I feel we1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFwBCCLkit
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8sokiAViD
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhAo96rb8r
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhUasZdCaH
"I don't get it though,"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKNSZIklSP
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y3aktV8o0
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaJJb4xkGz
the lyrics?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFAErlpszI
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF68RHNRT6
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhCtHbRraz
This time, I also raised1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tM0DSezym
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0uX9x3FoE
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM50vuA5Re8
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzOu5gahu7
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzDN36g7P0
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YwvTygqIC
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfQUHMT9ko
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3upX5Tl0o
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEsuvd8Q7z
By the way G-Dragon 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYkhmVhmMM
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB3Wl67Hpp
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxSVUWkz6T
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI0F93QoiP
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pBwYFNG97
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbGI4effRL
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX816woqhJu
"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."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRQoydzBuk
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKz3nf7a8Q
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp57N3cvMY
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaBqDYo6Fq
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtijFqvPwv0
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVmrqYBaKL
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHdpVrJLeQ
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvnLtlXa8y
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgYNhqXZsS
"What truth?" I asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGjzS8PlbO
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHneOp1OZe
Taeyang was right. I was1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp1L0rb7F9
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3QFdVg7v1
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPkpspwJ96
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu5NC3bCKp
attention.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN2JfPupOq
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pLRLja0q6
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNOHPJbrou
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KpOOBM67T
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU0GXUX1PG
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiLSFh5bCt
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL17EO9m7NV
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvIjdNViT2
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPIg1M69Dk
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3EUHfNXgu
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHmgWk1cHg
"But I....." 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0RwVJqswz
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQPIWSCAIW
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSRtf7Fhc3
talked way too much, don't you think?"1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMenKJvWrCy
That felt like a slap in1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w3FDOmVz5
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA7i9D5N4f
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMg3ZzBf2D
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeteQXNk5H
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lYATt3x6u
about what I thought was best for the whole group?1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkK93mwajq
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksXWIGHnmy
"That's fine with me," said Mike.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIg1nqHtHL
Everyone else agreed, 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbliwmqBSf
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuJ6DhltNm
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc4F4soMzG
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27BJEi65Gi
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIGQ2orkT3
B, just in case.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS8qpcCSmu
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi0npxJg2M
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Mpkqs3nx
"Not now, Sam. We will 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PphosoXrw
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ziM1k1lD
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaJvtf1BbR
gave me goosebumps.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQv0ZBCxjv
"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."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFCDvKay8J
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ceq5fKp5r
One by one everyone 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3A5wTxDoF
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAoA9iMau9
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekDKeFqmrh
appropriate.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11WlCrurQl
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF5XD7oGcD
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwNyaLkAU7
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTTr6md8qk
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToSgrVusCZ
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHel99eacKg
"It's not that. I pissed1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwUIn4My9Q
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGg3BNcpq7
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisZuo3tvpr
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO1WgBagJY
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWOadehATK
Taeyang placed his hand 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSLYlf8EWq
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBGnMzk5Jl
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs728q8Wdy
I knew I had to hope for1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkbWe16IEC
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UWUdS1Sjo
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUAuAFxYZy
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmjO1pClI4
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 1074Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr8xW4GtKe
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
