The water felt like a 708Please respect copyright.PENANAh4bvMKryWf
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 708Please respect copyright.PENANAzVN5imvzrG
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAhFoOvf4FrA
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 708Please respect copyright.PENANAFwilIzWKmn
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 708Please respect copyright.PENANAuNqj8e6PKA
breathe. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAKqcCRMYXDu
I pushed myself upwards 708Please respect copyright.PENANAO7usm9MgbK
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of708Please respect copyright.PENANAmkU1YRdH8z
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAMoLK1mKsfU
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAFPb9BFXTeE
edge.708Please respect copyright.PENANAtsnmUGTKyA
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.708Please respect copyright.PENANA2EGzzrgO4L
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.708Please respect copyright.PENANAdYrZjpmahX
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.708Please respect copyright.PENANAKSqkUG9G9z
I looked ridiculously 708Please respect copyright.PENANAHefUYNOR7O
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 708Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ0Ob5GaqI
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 708Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZQfg1O6VY
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 708Please respect copyright.PENANAGkPbF0SSpX
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 708Please respect copyright.PENANACHw8D2HWby
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.708Please respect copyright.PENANAzl8HAJpfDF
I looked around me and 708Please respect copyright.PENANAbJHN7RjU5n
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAsm6MHshUHi
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 708Please respect copyright.PENANABrq0AKHKrR
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 708Please respect copyright.PENANALWptgIZl4n
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.708Please respect copyright.PENANAo3hFqU1Ehb
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."708Please respect copyright.PENANAWYtdz1lhdZ
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."708Please respect copyright.PENANAPbFLnopRuH
I heard Zoey and the 708Please respect copyright.PENANACK1WKNOH6e
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on708Please respect copyright.PENANAXfXqKV4CZn
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.708Please respect copyright.PENANAHF38kYfcar
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAmIXFexsJg8
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's708Please respect copyright.PENANAEAle6wUKyA
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 708Please respect copyright.PENANAG6sUvxMTVi
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."708Please respect copyright.PENANA6S2f8lcfYx
"I already told you, I'm708Please respect copyright.PENANAGLemBDdcJY
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I708Please respect copyright.PENANAglwnpEvhSq
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 708Please respect copyright.PENANACQANl6iubH
from anyone.708Please respect copyright.PENANAC50FbkHMuv
I made my way towards GD708Please respect copyright.PENANAzfw1PVKZ9M
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what708Please respect copyright.PENANAz3pElnXeAs
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 708Please respect copyright.PENANAFYqxezCjkG
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.708Please respect copyright.PENANAx7ex0wuJO5
"Oh, man, Sam," said 708Please respect copyright.PENANAsfDCuR3kdw
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 708Please respect copyright.PENANAG6endkdvtO
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAQQKq8MRESD
game. Hope you didn't mind."708Please respect copyright.PENANAfZsM9MjXsh
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."708Please respect copyright.PENANAuKvfJpCdCI
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."708Please respect copyright.PENANAqfBZwfIm7d
"I told you, our 708Please respect copyright.PENANAdqRRSwyvhK
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAALSdwshwYP
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 708Please respect copyright.PENANAJj44Y3TFKq
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 708Please respect copyright.PENANA0BJOH6iNHo
Daesung.708Please respect copyright.PENANAdPygd6A7J4
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.708Please respect copyright.PENANADHrDwhKfWu
I dialled Lee's number 708Please respect copyright.PENANAxWnt3Jzap4
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 708Please respect copyright.PENANASh4JX0lgSk
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0udhCaSHz
They would know soon enough.708Please respect copyright.PENANAskp97dsQK1
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.708Please respect copyright.PENANAeX38fpijcz
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.708Please respect copyright.PENANAUxIR0550PV
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAmrcj81XEDp
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"708Please respect copyright.PENANABLgBAGmvkE
"No, not yet. But you 708Please respect copyright.PENANALui1wi5SFA
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And708Please respect copyright.PENANAsx4MDEPBUO
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."708Please respect copyright.PENANAejcJdWmFJb
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."708Please respect copyright.PENANAsNyoIF6Ljk
"Okay, I'll be waiting."708Please respect copyright.PENANAdLi2zuBk7J
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.708Please respect copyright.PENANA7rAOZLS5Q9
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAkbAmmeA5hw
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."708Please respect copyright.PENANAoguOhOVaBm
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 708Please respect copyright.PENANA07XTQt5aSF
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."708Please respect copyright.PENANADHskhDAZYo
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.708Please respect copyright.PENANAgJGyz395r6
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."708Please respect copyright.PENANAgyuVrGbtZw
I shook my head. I was 708Please respect copyright.PENANAyP7iMygqfB
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 708Please respect copyright.PENANAqB1c5uDnnN
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 708Please respect copyright.PENANAXcPmfitw50
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.708Please respect copyright.PENANActHUt31l5a
After walking a few feet708Please respect copyright.PENANA2BYPUOVZTI
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 708Please respect copyright.PENANAMFUCnbR018
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was708Please respect copyright.PENANANTnI79bDdj
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 708Please respect copyright.PENANAhujuDfbZkD
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.708Please respect copyright.PENANAXRkwI6xzT1
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAM27LCzMDbd
None of them answered as708Please respect copyright.PENANA3KQ7HV11lM
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAcoSx6YFYML
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 708Please respect copyright.PENANAd3vCfd7kX4
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.708Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zo2rIrTsU
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.708Please respect copyright.PENANAUPEyE4ij7x
"I wasn't going to say 708Please respect copyright.PENANAq8YfswrQib
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing708Please respect copyright.PENANAW9LWPUjgO8
you would want to hear from me is advice."708Please respect copyright.PENANA1aDVWOLQ5k
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAHnL1GG7FI4
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.708Please respect copyright.PENANAqb2m9Cj5AA
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."708Please respect copyright.PENANAcar8y8csFT
"I'm still upset, though."708Please respect copyright.PENANAl18PUYErv3
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."708Please respect copyright.PENANAAfHCkXrere
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."708Please respect copyright.PENANA6D4y1ixO8q
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."708Please respect copyright.PENANA71KsNZPruV
I gave TOP an assuring 708Please respect copyright.PENANA3I1zvW1DQG
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way708Please respect copyright.PENANAGbGH6p96DN
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAak9GHfnm8W
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I708Please respect copyright.PENANAfPKvmygQql
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't708Please respect copyright.PENANAXBpJMdwZY7
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 708Please respect copyright.PENANAvZQUPQDChY
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.708Please respect copyright.PENANAj5fAMbi840
We all found ourselves 708Please respect copyright.PENANA42hgHaCPHZ
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins708Please respect copyright.PENANA3ndXPKRYgw
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 708Please respect copyright.PENANAwaXsiwapm7
were waiting for me. 708Please respect copyright.PENANA96dc9xS4ZV
"Hey, Sam, you don't 708Please respect copyright.PENANA3KXZLaxyDY
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 708Please respect copyright.PENANAVHKvEBVbjI
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.708Please respect copyright.PENANAVPDx47oFMk
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."708Please respect copyright.PENANAQLgb4sxIWA
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 708Please respect copyright.PENANAryotOavnGq
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAZkjVkncDBd
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch708Please respect copyright.PENANA3RF0bayu0t
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAQH0EcfbdaN
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.708Please respect copyright.PENANA1PiLJpT8YU
I had my eyes closed 708Please respect copyright.PENANACFH4At3M8l
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found708Please respect copyright.PENANAEkyzEIFiNH
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.708Please respect copyright.PENANAgJwIOYB1lS
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."708Please respect copyright.PENANAdwYX3Nw7R9
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.708Please respect copyright.PENANACJkJktD0UY
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."708Please respect copyright.PENANAkceXNf6aYA
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."708Please respect copyright.PENANAy8NIlJed65
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."708Please respect copyright.PENANAuuR4JSDPiJ
Taeyang led me to his 708Please respect copyright.PENANA3KXHMKuw5o
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 708Please respect copyright.PENANAkpcwBiWDVX
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 708Please respect copyright.PENANAK4IEmKrq5e
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.708Please respect copyright.PENANA6lEhWUsA77
In about thirty minutes,708Please respect copyright.PENANA1KV3QL3CYM
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 708Please respect copyright.PENANARJN2QdfYsK
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAhyesnSV8pB
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 708Please respect copyright.PENANAazv5gY3daZ
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 708Please respect copyright.PENANAgICmUWlhAE
appeared out of the elevator.708Please respect copyright.PENANAvNlD34DwHB
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAdGNTtwGfpH
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.708Please respect copyright.PENANAgKqDxe0lnk
Lee who stood behind 708Please respect copyright.PENANANKWOtCJzcl
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 708Please respect copyright.PENANAd3twVkToVZ
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 708Please respect copyright.PENANARb8h0BrzwP
other things in mind.708Please respect copyright.PENANApaV7M4UVRj
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAwBEVufLcu9
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 708Please respect copyright.PENANAuo9XymsUXQ
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 708Please respect copyright.PENANAmIeC8NNgx7
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.708Please respect copyright.PENANA4uAlR9jbuZ
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANARIpcQPsrT2
"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."708Please respect copyright.PENANAlLBRGTOlfr
There was an awkward 708Please respect copyright.PENANAd9ddfSAFEO
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,708Please respect copyright.PENANA8uDrJpQt7W
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.708Please respect copyright.PENANA9jperLkIHl
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANA2N0MMgVwtl
"Well, I hear the press 708Please respect copyright.PENANAvyLW06wVea
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon708Please respect copyright.PENANAXEcOv5ymZT
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."708Please respect copyright.PENANA2TtafWYsec
"That won't be 708Please respect copyright.PENANAPYMDIKjxjM
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 708Please respect copyright.PENANAhu0tPyixto
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to708Please respect copyright.PENANAghCIrI9K7p
go to the press looking all wet."708Please respect copyright.PENANAlSvgWElOYB
I breathed out a sigh of708Please respect copyright.PENANADWotvEpTjE
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 708Please respect copyright.PENANAJYwjEKwm8X
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.708Please respect copyright.PENANAfSIyezMQ5Z
"In the meantime, you go708Please respect copyright.PENANATdd7nxUU9D
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 708Please respect copyright.PENANA1wXVVHeXeM
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."708Please respect copyright.PENANAnbxhU5uNML
I nodded my head in 708Please respect copyright.PENANAHUaXHFcsLJ
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 708Please respect copyright.PENANAQpsJkKXLtC
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.708Please respect copyright.PENANATD8aAXuEV4
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.708Please respect copyright.PENANAvfu9JJsh8X
"Alright," I said 708Please respect copyright.PENANArVmUmezFL8
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 708Please respect copyright.PENANAUwBxJ2NZUE
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like708Please respect copyright.PENANAlNztjp4cGe
I was only making things worse.708Please respect copyright.PENANAZlulA9rUK6
Before I turned to leave708Please respect copyright.PENANAhT2UISn4ip
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 708Please respect copyright.PENANASQdcuAWd9j
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 708Please respect copyright.PENANA8C26pxJWKL
one.708Please respect copyright.PENANAMOhrdVMtnE
***708Please respect copyright.PENANAai1tHGPwt6
I sat on the couch all 708Please respect copyright.PENANAPNlXDipeb0
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued708Please respect copyright.PENANAedF3lAfDXW
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"708Please respect copyright.PENANA4PnSxTKqg7
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAQOK5MNjivJ
I had a box of paper 708Please respect copyright.PENANALkUxqGSwiW
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my708Please respect copyright.PENANALYXPggWgzJ
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 708Please respect copyright.PENANACOS2kg6SaB
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.708Please respect copyright.PENANAQc4YeO018a
I continued watching the708Please respect copyright.PENANAKJuGyyCOwR
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 708Please respect copyright.PENANAiu8cqOo1aU
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.708Please respect copyright.PENANACCOM7w0xLJ
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.708Please respect copyright.PENANAs7vXQUbIzX
"Never better," I said, 708Please respect copyright.PENANA3nQJSM58Jm
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 708Please respect copyright.PENANAtxXJAMKnhE
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."708Please respect copyright.PENANAxWnmVtft1T
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.708Please respect copyright.PENANA3WdvWyrM8r
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.708Please respect copyright.PENANArZfmvx5dd5
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAr5DM7YrHAi
"And the others?" 708Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z7qgca9cX
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.708Please respect copyright.PENANA5ztzc04MVM
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.708Please respect copyright.PENANAIdhHZn9ZId
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAIynVKvKbTe
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.708Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5g8lq0Esp
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.708Please respect copyright.PENANA6wKxTDD9sO
"You don't know or you are?"708Please respect copyright.PENANACmqwqeihDq
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAlhfGxrm3j5
"I don't know, Tae," I 708Please respect copyright.PENANARA4ixL6hro
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 708Please respect copyright.PENANANGjfAadoHb
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 708Please respect copyright.PENANApDTZ9NEzg3
forget all that happened yesterday."708Please respect copyright.PENANAKVTdcOyoac
"Ya, I understand. They 708Please respect copyright.PENANA0puLPtmZkR
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 708Please respect copyright.PENANAEDSZKT6oRy
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were708Please respect copyright.PENANAR3KI5XhJBb
going to get."708Please respect copyright.PENANAeTITr8i2pO
I looked on at Taeyang 708Please respect copyright.PENANAmjKiT0GHQA
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 708Please respect copyright.PENANAjKXtFFdT8K
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 708Please respect copyright.PENANApqHEfTeSEI
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 708Please respect copyright.PENANAHDvyG0JOV2
who was as tough as nails.708Please respect copyright.PENANAWvnTEQX4hE
Last night, I took the 708Please respect copyright.PENANA8srI0FCgLB
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 708Please respect copyright.PENANAgPHbCF7rh7
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 708Please respect copyright.PENANAILH2mV51SC
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 708Please respect copyright.PENANAkbYvYATVOW
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAKct0qqHCc1
Apparently, the managers708Please respect copyright.PENANAbPSRntJLak
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 708Please respect copyright.PENANA3ebw8qx4RG
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought708Please respect copyright.PENANAvOLFtrzAkw
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 708Please respect copyright.PENANAGOIlBnP90G
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 708Please respect copyright.PENANAPY2NNHxlnY
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 708Please respect copyright.PENANAT5fi78gALX
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 708Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yp0d4iPa1
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 708Please respect copyright.PENANAljSxgzYTYR
and the reporters.708Please respect copyright.PENANAA3Sr2f5tOS
After my confrontation 708Please respect copyright.PENANAeFPOZwAlUj
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I708Please respect copyright.PENANAfSdgt8UGKC
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,708Please respect copyright.PENANAJAngiLoSMS
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.708Please respect copyright.PENANAdWPXN06yoQ
"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."708Please respect copyright.PENANACqLkkqeNQE
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.708Please respect copyright.PENANAgu5HFu5ix9
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."708Please respect copyright.PENANAxWynjP8eEZ
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."708Please respect copyright.PENANAPeXPTpnpzT
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."708Please respect copyright.PENANAtvkZfgy1QS
"Have you tried talking to GD?"708Please respect copyright.PENANA6jLm89zhDU
"To be honest, I haven't708Please respect copyright.PENANAaFjy4BO82y
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 708Please respect copyright.PENANAwLxg1gmoc9
slap him in the face if I see him."708Please respect copyright.PENANA4KwM65kwLS
"I don't doubt that."708Please respect copyright.PENANAuMwndTRT9K
"And thank goodness my 708Please respect copyright.PENANAo2OYGnMfRl
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 708Please respect copyright.PENANACwoMpPGO5B
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I708Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9Qld6HcOR
want to do is watch some TV."708Please respect copyright.PENANApx3LFdtLQY
I quickly drank my 708Please respect copyright.PENANAN08uAHSvix
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 708Please respect copyright.PENANAO1YBLaY7Jl
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 708Please respect copyright.PENANARy5Ee1ZXAQ
to.708Please respect copyright.PENANAR7bdZIgXEj
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.708Please respect copyright.PENANA0XVW1r0nGu
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.708Please respect copyright.PENANAWHQ2ovi7qR
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAc0CmyOFHK3
"Nope."708Please respect copyright.PENANA5TkNI28w04
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.708Please respect copyright.PENANAjWVE4DtNE9
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAdMSrbIb3eb
Taeyang didn't say 708Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ky4z90uhm
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened708Please respect copyright.PENANAgee7N6WVrg
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."708Please respect copyright.PENANAPY31OrhPhM
"I know you fought or 708Please respect copyright.PENANAPVuCx4YTfp
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAUJrMsrmPlI
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."708Please respect copyright.PENANAcIceIKT2hL
I noticed Taeyang smile 708Please respect copyright.PENANAhnvhPjIddJ
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 708Please respect copyright.PENANAU3SFGa7VnX
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 708Please respect copyright.PENANA5yGP4qYSqQ
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.708Please respect copyright.PENANAPQoAvjgnzT
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.708Please respect copyright.PENANAFigptXRing
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."708Please respect copyright.PENANAeKuGQSRy4o
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?708Please respect copyright.PENANAcXaaoATnFv
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.708Please respect copyright.PENANAGGtUDIlvtg
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."708Please respect copyright.PENANAwe999nwwYc
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."708Please respect copyright.PENANAb7ztXQgeMj
Before I could finish my708Please respect copyright.PENANAlfa7w5Sby4
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 708Please respect copyright.PENANAb1TceS4Yim
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.708Please respect copyright.PENANAveaBAKXnpe
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.708Please respect copyright.PENANACvVRVKfokV
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.708Please respect copyright.PENANAsB2jjlzEGa
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."708Please respect copyright.PENANAjZYN33IGJq
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."708Please respect copyright.PENANAw02fu4wr4r
"Yep, cheers to that." 708Please respect copyright.PENANATEaBYXM3F3
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAx91JsnwVe8
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.708Please respect copyright.PENANATOaouT92if
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"708Please respect copyright.PENANApw234M8oeE
"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."708Please respect copyright.PENANA4ssxsdr7JZ
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."708Please respect copyright.PENANAAIERptZO7s
"Wow, that sounds personal."708Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7X8YGctuF
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."708Please respect copyright.PENANAD5XVRNiJSm
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAnFZmZHfbmF
"I think I've a better 708Please respect copyright.PENANApXUmdkJkej
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 708Please respect copyright.PENANAqZGwFQ35Jl
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 708Please respect copyright.PENANAIFFZjbGV0y
lyrics. It's better that way."708Please respect copyright.PENANA66GEJSbAgF
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAgTQDh9QAJp
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."708Please respect copyright.PENANAUqFViqUnqh
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."708Please respect copyright.PENANAi7nFSP2Egd
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."708Please respect copyright.PENANAkSojvA1h9Q
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."708Please respect copyright.PENANA3vl5z9LNak
"Haha, good point."708Please respect copyright.PENANAMjcnDEWJtw
Taeyang and I continued 708Please respect copyright.PENANASAkYwSS2SX
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 708Please respect copyright.PENANA630aF0eQiK
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 708Please respect copyright.PENANAc504RWbPvk
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we708Please respect copyright.PENANAxkWMf6s5S2
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 708Please respect copyright.PENANAdxoyqeNBop
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 708Please respect copyright.PENANAkgLT8UAtMo
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 708Please respect copyright.PENANANzTl7r3xo2
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 708Please respect copyright.PENANAmtajtncyRf
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.708Please respect copyright.PENANA2WcuPFltsv
While the two of us were708Please respect copyright.PENANAjQs5x5XF1n
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,708Please respect copyright.PENANAV3zsWSbnry
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAakE0DglC55
I quickly went over to 708Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9dirIC4HU
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was708Please respect copyright.PENANASLHtEoaEnD
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung708Please respect copyright.PENANAKMP4zjMCs6
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could708Please respect copyright.PENANAx2SUmHML0J
come up and I put the receiver down.708Please respect copyright.PENANAGUydvmL03a
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."708Please respect copyright.PENANAJNLli0rplm
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."708Please respect copyright.PENANAfy6uhdyLN0
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."708Please respect copyright.PENANASEXOq59ENB
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.708Please respect copyright.PENANAiG9e8Xa6z3
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.708Please respect copyright.PENANAnAl63gg16P
"Eww, that pillow 708Please respect copyright.PENANAzvXXtR826r
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 708Please respect copyright.PENANAV9EPiUFebG
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.708Please respect copyright.PENANAaxReS27sCU
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.708Please respect copyright.PENANACglMot0VyP
A few seconds later, we 708Please respect copyright.PENANAsxEO4GSD0c
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 708Please respect copyright.PENANAhiDVpSd9q3
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 708Please respect copyright.PENANANmcMrqYp4q
holding a box of chocolates.708Please respect copyright.PENANAeEb21x40TW
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.708Please respect copyright.PENANACw3P2UaH0G
"Ah, no, the panda is a 708Please respect copyright.PENANABZkFXhQx5c
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 708Please respect copyright.PENANA0ag02gkGET
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 708Please respect copyright.PENANABzGVC2xLnC
same time.708Please respect copyright.PENANALP9RCM7PGl
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."708Please respect copyright.PENANANwHFMiQSXl
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.708Please respect copyright.PENANA46Xo8OT94t
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAHyb4glGY94
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."708Please respect copyright.PENANApvlnD0QTMJ
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.708Please respect copyright.PENANALtKJPytGxV
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.708Please respect copyright.PENANAs2vj4dx39g
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."708Please respect copyright.PENANAnn8COK5P5J
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.708Please respect copyright.PENANAU5h1cx1snO
"For goodness sake, I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAdJzAhmLMEc
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 708Please respect copyright.PENANAet6gWAUPs5
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 708Please respect copyright.PENANA6Rhsxb6tKr
scared with me."708Please respect copyright.PENANAjQpNmtzIBQ
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.708Please respect copyright.PENANA6lZJq61jKO
I took the panda in my 708Please respect copyright.PENANAvZmrJAb1Ef
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 708Please respect copyright.PENANAQjECpRCzm3
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 708Please respect copyright.PENANAIbQYxjwpfH
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 708Please respect copyright.PENANA3zJ0kqP7O5
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.708Please respect copyright.PENANAmlURcADFEt
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."708Please respect copyright.PENANAykb7eT1prg
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."708Please respect copyright.PENANAaMSA36MPlf
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAqpoyyQEs6o
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.708Please respect copyright.PENANAP38pb7Xtnx
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."708Please respect copyright.PENANAlzHEE0W3Jd
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I708Please respect copyright.PENANAM3attqj6S6
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 708Please respect copyright.PENANANmSpThF54i
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 708Please respect copyright.PENANA4GjWCibpGG
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."708Please respect copyright.PENANAoCTH1s8llN
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."708Please respect copyright.PENANANxmBPL3Zqq
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."708Please respect copyright.PENANAQJrYRafVYI
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.708Please respect copyright.PENANAFEredZs7SK
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."708Please respect copyright.PENANAoGJlVPFVMo
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.708Please respect copyright.PENANAKtD6d887vj
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."708Please respect copyright.PENANAJgdKR9n5Ae
"Ya, I do."708Please respect copyright.PENANAtjHIrVPGEI
While the four of us 708Please respect copyright.PENANA7eniR5cViB
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 708Please respect copyright.PENANAQQfwJPUAon
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 708Please respect copyright.PENANABRTLY2t9DL
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 708Please respect copyright.PENANAo7UijP4DsA
said:708Please respect copyright.PENANA9mHpJu3jnY
"Hey, Zoey." 708Please respect copyright.PENANAiMTs8O4hKT
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 708Please respect copyright.PENANASS0nXeNyWy
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."708Please respect copyright.PENANAN3hwLlOHHo
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.708Please respect copyright.PENANA15NvTyLQt3
"It's good you came to 708Please respect copyright.PENANA013lu4XP0B
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAfzY38xlcu5
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAIhcHN5AfOV
couch.708Please respect copyright.PENANAWvR5c0gXTy
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"708Please respect copyright.PENANAy4oHQtbvXR
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"708Please respect copyright.PENANA6kv3kjm6R3
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANARmqvUT2IlY
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAHSSNE79BR6
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.708Please respect copyright.PENANAOs1ios3nU6
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.708Please respect copyright.PENANAc1PcV4Lq2x
I tugged at my panda's 708Please respect copyright.PENANAs9sANkeCzp
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it708Please respect copyright.PENANAZb24WqPdiE
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking708Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y47DsYCrM
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.708Please respect copyright.PENANAfuL9LUpXHb
The Toxins came back to 708Please respect copyright.PENANA4E7IZjFZca
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held708Please respect copyright.PENANAZLUgVonw5F
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine708Please respect copyright.PENANAtwhWti7Hle
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.708Please respect copyright.PENANAhr1qaB5O6e
For a moment, no one 708Please respect copyright.PENANAA10WUlaX7l
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 708Please respect copyright.PENANAY0fB2vfeaS
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.708Please respect copyright.PENANAzv5XqbGjly
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.708Please respect copyright.PENANAFodoTFbM6l
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAcG0JBjVUI6
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.708Please respect copyright.PENANAhOXc7WQxWD
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."708Please respect copyright.PENANANvEInFwkiZ
I stared up at the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAFrBDvw9GQA
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 708Please respect copyright.PENANATmGDcfucJL
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.708Please respect copyright.PENANAR1kpJkTEm9
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."708Please respect copyright.PENANA19Gy8manVi
When Zoey tried to reach708Please respect copyright.PENANA4in4sp65eC
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 708Please respect copyright.PENANAs6brfLigvT
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.708Please respect copyright.PENANArjDvR696Gm
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.708Please respect copyright.PENANATPjh1Oulw9
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.708Please respect copyright.PENANAHt9ErFUYgi
Zoey looked hurt with 708Please respect copyright.PENANAaXPMImqILn
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAXIejY78ga1
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.708Please respect copyright.PENANAPsdkGtLyWL
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAC5vPD7OgUc
I didn't answer as I put708Please respect copyright.PENANA8WLB07ElZx
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I708Please respect copyright.PENANAPziB8zn1n2
was still mad, especially at Zoey.708Please respect copyright.PENANAsf7Sedjeia
"I know it's a little 708Please respect copyright.PENANAiZXL9sairY
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 708Please respect copyright.PENANAVBRn3piU8z
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 708Please respect copyright.PENANAoUtfDNvYMd
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 708Please respect copyright.PENANAt3b1Dv10pR
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAdBXaXfwzNa
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 708Please respect copyright.PENANAAutUhVRjgn
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."708Please respect copyright.PENANAWpobHvJkO4
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.708Please respect copyright.PENANAhsSQp3M0Oc
"I don't like it when 708Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5slnUUb1n
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 708Please respect copyright.PENANARYFjiIVLK8
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 708Please respect copyright.PENANArqPfVwxb0q
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 708Please respect copyright.PENANAveujw4zNUH
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 708Please respect copyright.PENANAcTBeHgbssc
sorry, Sam."708Please respect copyright.PENANACFSih0kPPa
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."708Please respect copyright.PENANA2mAHGbdHyN
"I'm sorry too," said 708Please respect copyright.PENANA4fk7REAUHc
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 708Please respect copyright.PENANACu6H7QPgrQ
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 708Please respect copyright.PENANAdAexm5Ho1y
for you to talk to us again."708Please respect copyright.PENANALqVm6yiUjU
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 708Please respect copyright.PENANAZoGYG2YoGN
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 708Please respect copyright.PENANAxhBOnecd7g
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 708Please respect copyright.PENANAfF3ycwMhl3
leader."708Please respect copyright.PENANA9vBvkQMmvk
I still didn't say a 708Please respect copyright.PENANAcdLAPMLN5j
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 708Please respect copyright.PENANAmWlqVw805j
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 708Please respect copyright.PENANAniaizPJmga
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 708Please respect copyright.PENANAUJzZMl1vxc
them despite the awful things they put me through.708Please respect copyright.PENANAoYjAZZQGdZ
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 708Please respect copyright.PENANA2wrrMecay5
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."708Please respect copyright.PENANAoPDFYUcMWc
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.708Please respect copyright.PENANAJS6ueglOE4
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.708Please respect copyright.PENANAZaSGXnGDjz
"I'm mad and pretty much708Please respect copyright.PENANAWWdsAhWnuF
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 708Please respect copyright.PENANAz8vatgGSnb
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."708Please respect copyright.PENANAKUmFRtGCWu
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAkP5AKTDObC
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."708Please respect copyright.PENANAzIBn8S4fGV
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.708Please respect copyright.PENANA33cDw8N3Ez
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 708Please respect copyright.PENANA9v3JPSuRFc
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 708Please respect copyright.PENANAXcvEgqwdIP
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."708Please respect copyright.PENANATzQZQPwEh3
"Ah, you! Always acting 708Please respect copyright.PENANAqBQ0NH0jyw
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 708Please respect copyright.PENANAImArJkwys7
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAoYr1uWnixb
catch it anyway."708Please respect copyright.PENANAE07AyxNENT
Christine, Daniel and 708Please respect copyright.PENANAJXmxTXbnX0
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAMLKulnSVlS
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAC50vYDM6p8
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.708Please respect copyright.PENANA3qc7ThF5Qi
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.708Please respect copyright.PENANAl9kKu1dzxW
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.708Please respect copyright.PENANAowkDXDbTui
"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...."708Please respect copyright.PENANAYZSQ0r5ymk
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.708Please respect copyright.PENANAOQTWFfcTmT
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."708Please respect copyright.PENANAfxb9OENXSP
"Don't worry, you won't 708Please respect copyright.PENANAvUla4smgZ3
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 708Please respect copyright.PENANALTDTIMm2kk
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.708Please respect copyright.PENANA3w7fn9mX8C
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.708Please respect copyright.PENANAReivhfj55l
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.708Please respect copyright.PENANAbJaezsHG7b
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAyEuQdCthdl
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."708Please respect copyright.PENANAha7TVnumyf
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.708Please respect copyright.PENANA70vjLPLR8x
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAlERF9WeSzi
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAGmXyYTG4PC
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."708Please respect copyright.PENANAzpgNGgrtwv
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.708Please respect copyright.PENANAvqMhSWO8xh
At that moment, I had 708Please respect copyright.PENANAHhGYCv23W9
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.708Please respect copyright.PENANA63oA0CHl2n
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.708Please respect copyright.PENANAmgWzyyz2iO
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAcrF8plXijN
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.708Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ7VSf9gde
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."708Please respect copyright.PENANAlhnbXqvggX
Zoey got the box of 708Please respect copyright.PENANAAnLZtzG1tR
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAJBXVKDlTj1
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.708Please respect copyright.PENANAuF1vJiVU0G
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.708Please respect copyright.PENANANJBH8NfcOO
I was in the passage as I708Please respect copyright.PENANAEj7Vw39tEn
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 708Please respect copyright.PENANAdcxRJe1Jh8
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed708Please respect copyright.PENANARJnN1b20es
in what felt like sadness.708Please respect copyright.PENANAgJck9uT6oB
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.708Please respect copyright.PENANARYU0NNv1Io
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."708Please respect copyright.PENANAhO1iO1Y7N7
I heard his footsteps 708Please respect copyright.PENANA5WbvXt7Oii
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAZhL2yPw2yF
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.708Please respect copyright.PENANA2bjoPnNeOt
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAIksX8MfcUE
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAdB5s4fJSzk
"Are we really do this right now?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAbHefWmWnXK
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 708Please respect copyright.PENANARlA41CgHHy
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.708Please respect copyright.PENANAPJKEYso5k5
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3MdQW5zji
"Nope." 708Please respect copyright.PENANANvzW2kf3OW
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."708Please respect copyright.PENANAswek5QicE8
My eyes almost felt like708Please respect copyright.PENANAdodzCeamEp
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 708Please respect copyright.PENANA9QH2IJcF0Y
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.708Please respect copyright.PENANAdNJD3hag2C
I turned to look at him 708Please respect copyright.PENANAoCzz0DCIHG
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 708Please respect copyright.PENANA2soM811dKV
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.708Please respect copyright.PENANAQL1NzAa6tu
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.708Please respect copyright.PENANAz4vRVhZGw2
"That you're surrounded 708Please respect copyright.PENANA1xyFopmoUz
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 708Please respect copyright.PENANA1ISgIDgqOn
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 708Please respect copyright.PENANAJLHNrEhg9g
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."708Please respect copyright.PENANAZcrk0RhpTZ
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 708Please respect copyright.PENANAhAyRjYo4Io
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."708Please respect copyright.PENANAsnXaqRWbiW
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"708Please respect copyright.PENANArTtFDfFPnu
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."708Please respect copyright.PENANAxlx4YOmDhI
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."708Please respect copyright.PENANAlKfSWi0QgI
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAnlycI0NvoD
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."708Please respect copyright.PENANAWhZCVTBeel
Apparently, I couldn't 708Please respect copyright.PENANAkfUo7G9OAy
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAUwfT2FZRJg
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAqor3MNHQKS
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 708Please respect copyright.PENANAIe4WL4aJjj
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 708Please respect copyright.PENANAxzDiAKGJ30
death.708Please respect copyright.PENANAjG8LEJ6Aq9
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.708Please respect copyright.PENANAJaXfWHGZzq
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."708Please respect copyright.PENANAyP58pciTXu
Taeyang folded his arms 708Please respect copyright.PENANAesfp8iNN1I
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think708Please respect copyright.PENANADrxh0QSKrY
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."708Please respect copyright.PENANAmqDTVb34bC
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.708Please respect copyright.PENANAsBMaPQok95
"You're may think you're708Please respect copyright.PENANAJSepC6Qg2l
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 708Please respect copyright.PENANAHCNpK0HmDi
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 708Please respect copyright.PENANAimmLUmpEzH
but feeling hurt."708Please respect copyright.PENANAU4u3bReB8N
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.708Please respect copyright.PENANAmFnkyURzVg
"But I wouldn't feel 708Please respect copyright.PENANAd4ZTqvPnEu
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 708Please respect copyright.PENANAv4Q6oKWJ68
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 708Please respect copyright.PENANAwR0Pa1hLx3
at Taeyang.708Please respect copyright.PENANAvJtp1FoPcx
Taeyang gave me that 708Please respect copyright.PENANA3xuhENMKJb
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 708Please respect copyright.PENANAMl28t8Y4co
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 708Please respect copyright.PENANAwREu72iuZC
while in return, he nodded.708Please respect copyright.PENANACGSBtOsTFg
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAPPGZJ2rJbg
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."708Please respect copyright.PENANA7UiGfGNiJK
I didn't say a word as I708Please respect copyright.PENANAvJO6zDU2HN
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my708Please respect copyright.PENANAzO2edEgqKd
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 708Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qc3N9NUGi
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 708Please respect copyright.PENANAayZdMK52iY
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.708Please respect copyright.PENANAlM23EqSEVx
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."708Please respect copyright.PENANAUqc1arEXZz
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."708Please respect copyright.PENANA86TkjQRyHV
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."708Please respect copyright.PENANAa8g09cDF8t
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"708Please respect copyright.PENANA539UmmLt2T
If there was ever a way I708Please respect copyright.PENANAbhg5M4gtH5
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 708Please respect copyright.PENANAWKjKEsrSB4
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 708Please respect copyright.PENANAFHAkIoT11T
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.708Please respect copyright.PENANAHr6nX1FxNw
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 708Please respect copyright.PENANA9CqlflQAsM
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAXbBpKCUzis
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAssva5QPX4J
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.708Please respect copyright.PENANA2p94LLk2RF
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANA7LuBhWIrhL
"Well, I'm just asking,"708Please respect copyright.PENANAyXo6egXltw
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,708Please respect copyright.PENANAiOztDzOiB3
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."708Please respect copyright.PENANAMYst2jA0k5
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.708Please respect copyright.PENANAbbc2D846Th
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.708Please respect copyright.PENANAqip1IOfawE
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.708Please respect copyright.PENANAAfs22LaPj1
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.708Please respect copyright.PENANA7TT4HEONpn
I pressed the button 708Please respect copyright.PENANAMujuDcvIg1
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 708Please respect copyright.PENANA8qgmvNo7Nh
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 708Please respect copyright.PENANAzCaQBz4nVI
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.708Please respect copyright.PENANAldRtzl9Dds
We went to the main 708Please respect copyright.PENANAJfkIKnLecg
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for708Please respect copyright.PENANAwuD5kdNMWN
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 708Please respect copyright.PENANA9byucqfhcp
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.708Please respect copyright.PENANAqXfu4toUAW
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.708Please respect copyright.PENANASutD7RM8Z7
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAfVLkAh8GzR
"To be honest, we just 708Please respect copyright.PENANA8vBt6UTNki
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1s2hdXnem
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."708Please respect copyright.PENANAlapMkl0frF
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.708Please respect copyright.PENANAZcMiPQgfYL
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.708Please respect copyright.PENANAHDm4EKteaF
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAtKLB7upphs
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.708Please respect copyright.PENANAIk4VUEpGn1
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.708Please respect copyright.PENANAzSSByZH7ED
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.708Please respect copyright.PENANAFfCVgoTcff
"Nah, I don't think so,"708Please respect copyright.PENANAg5iCxlgkdI
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so708Please respect copyright.PENANA4VxM64scIL
he would be treating me like that."708Please respect copyright.PENANAgGWaH1zXG2
"Mmm, I don't think so,"708Please respect copyright.PENANAwcTSeyWZdS
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 708Please respect copyright.PENANA5N1zOCiloZ
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"708Please respect copyright.PENANA6Vh0Tnci0e
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."708Please respect copyright.PENANAsBQIuKvEnc
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.708Please respect copyright.PENANATlD9A0JoiM
"Then, stop trying to make one."708Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZooR8IHV4
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."708Please respect copyright.PENANAlH5zwKNBSB
"Ya, me too," said Mike.708Please respect copyright.PENANAb2ovEk4eM8
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.708Please respect copyright.PENANABHkTIK79mH
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAUQyzJ4R3Jq
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.708Please respect copyright.PENANAc00mFpjMPw
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."708Please respect copyright.PENANA55k8u80Z3B
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAZWByA4IbMM
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.708Please respect copyright.PENANA8JPkPmnvQC
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."708Please respect copyright.PENANAgNVoSxwsmj
I didn't even dare try 708Please respect copyright.PENANAksYolmhuzX
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAM4U9lF3Xca
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.708Please respect copyright.PENANAuKpPci9h5r
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAwZz6Adb5xJ
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAq6IcEPqvZ9
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.708Please respect copyright.PENANAhfCWJbrgG9
I heard footsteps coming708Please respect copyright.PENANAIJZdXjJCYm
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 708Please respect copyright.PENANA6matESY9Ib
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 708Please respect copyright.PENANACniPFYzwzb
look at me.708Please respect copyright.PENANABSJrEYCI6o
"Are you okay?" he whispered.708Please respect copyright.PENANACpOMtD96sl
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.708Please respect copyright.PENANAb2a64A8liw
I soon felt strong hands708Please respect copyright.PENANAdiosxQRhnM
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD708Please respect copyright.PENANA8a3R1Q6ahq
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.708Please respect copyright.PENANAXZFBorWM0q
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAdg5yHuft3y
"I'm a whole lot better,708Please respect copyright.PENANAwk5eARG2aj
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 708Please respect copyright.PENANAJvwxGqqflx
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.708Please respect copyright.PENANAXMkVYFBhj3
"Glad to hear that."708Please respect copyright.PENANAUkqsr2bJPx
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAMCY3zMDY0r
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."708Please respect copyright.PENANA6mlfSMNisk
I was planning not to 708Please respect copyright.PENANAZS3wUlFWaP
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 708Please respect copyright.PENANAmrvLMDD8M5
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 708Please respect copyright.PENANAhNfDteqdJs
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to708Please respect copyright.PENANADWa1KjMU0i
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 708Please respect copyright.PENANAS2YxZ4UJIE
under the bridge.708Please respect copyright.PENANAFAzAhtKcxl
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."708Please respect copyright.PENANAlVlvnTXCSb
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAiqBafG7vsa
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."708Please respect copyright.PENANAHHTq42ijKH
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."708Please respect copyright.PENANAZV2ZrlpCBO
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.708Please respect copyright.PENANANRvwpQI0f3
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.708Please respect copyright.PENANApNs2qaWBWM
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAwY1U0qiXgx
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."708Please respect copyright.PENANAGZPExG01WV
The waiters soon came 708Please respect copyright.PENANAORqwHSTwBt
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.708Please respect copyright.PENANAR7rzx3EZPh
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 708Please respect copyright.PENANANJrmlp8QRN
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 708Please respect copyright.PENANAmKDHHD3Toj
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.708Please respect copyright.PENANA5BSXxkuK7w
For a moment, I felt 708Please respect copyright.PENANAlVulio0Rks
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAY0EyYPsD7H
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 708Please respect copyright.PENANAVoBNpN2FI3
me to forget that I was ever mad.708Please respect copyright.PENANAMNBznl65fV
"Mmm, this is so 708Please respect copyright.PENANAXrRBda9NRA
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 708Please respect copyright.PENANAukIEPEKEcO
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."708Please respect copyright.PENANAimKqtwfEZ4
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."708Please respect copyright.PENANAnzR8Hs9ml2
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."708Please respect copyright.PENANAgIFpNQWh3u
"Anything for you, Sam,"708Please respect copyright.PENANAnsNUg9lw5k
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 708Please respect copyright.PENANAgduHWWoIYk
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."708Please respect copyright.PENANA7bLq0RAJCv
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANA0aadPRQNJ7
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.708Please respect copyright.PENANARwIApx7Z9W
I had just taken in some708Please respect copyright.PENANACk0RSrEvUh
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 708Please respect copyright.PENANA0Cag38vtNZ
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly708Please respect copyright.PENANAz4QaXMz2on
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 708Please respect copyright.PENANAG3CM4iqvrj
just said.708Please respect copyright.PENANAACcq5xeXav
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAWQPHrxtnwc
"Well, ya," Christine 708Please respect copyright.PENANAImagURzTjV
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 708Please respect copyright.PENANApxKUXAxS6K
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 708Please respect copyright.PENANAVuFXILCeVm
special lunch to lighten your mood."708Please respect copyright.PENANADUdiodPcBi
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.708Please respect copyright.PENANAJJe9B74i6X
"Thanks for the lunch, 708Please respect copyright.PENANArVEjOd7xZx
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so708Please respect copyright.PENANATRf8UGweVD
sweet of you to have come up with this."708Please respect copyright.PENANAoNwKO1sTG9
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.708Please respect copyright.PENANAhA7pUDUl1v
I almost felt like 708Please respect copyright.PENANAI6G8qKmqvV
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 708Please respect copyright.PENANATrS2VWcH7l
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare708Please respect copyright.PENANAtGk1vWJ3YI
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 708Please respect copyright.PENANAdHKnRO4aJK
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 708Please respect copyright.PENANA5pDUb8zdKH
turning into rage?708Please respect copyright.PENANA4zmOfRyO4R
Oh, goodness. I needed 708Please respect copyright.PENANA93OcadHqW4
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 708Please respect copyright.PENANAzvQhqt7syS
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 708Please respect copyright.PENANAmRfcDxpTPC
I tried to push aside 708Please respect copyright.PENANAXEMZjlkBjd
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 708Please respect copyright.PENANA2WrenEpnvI
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 708Please respect copyright.PENANAOZyYyyTDbZ
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 708Please respect copyright.PENANASqO8L9XB2R
chocolate moussé.708Please respect copyright.PENANAlY8q1tcCDw
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,708Please respect copyright.PENANAyDYmFe3IUs
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 708Please respect copyright.PENANAsapJxm0XY2
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.708Please respect copyright.PENANAtPKXOKDlaf
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.708Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hv14S4Cm1
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."708Please respect copyright.PENANAzVDM7m0AwX
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.708Please respect copyright.PENANAo8D4YfWxwP
I didn't wait for 708Please respect copyright.PENANAOg3UcCfw2z
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I708Please respect copyright.PENANALphCmGAbtO
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed708Please respect copyright.PENANAWJvJDn1Ic5
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 708Please respect copyright.PENANAAldkyjmtd7
heaven.708Please respect copyright.PENANAKpUyfjdgCy
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.708Please respect copyright.PENANAIHzpO48854
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."708Please respect copyright.PENANAOOYK4MTCDt
"I don't care," I said 708Please respect copyright.PENANA8NC04qUkYG
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 708Please respect copyright.PENANA3J51PVHure
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."708Please respect copyright.PENANAL6QwHY895S
G-Dragon smiled back at 708Please respect copyright.PENANAUZqEooiZML
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 708Please respect copyright.PENANAfTnq0H1btz
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 708Please respect copyright.PENANAfAIH868syy
away.708Please respect copyright.PENANABXJyf36xWJ
After dessert, we all 708Please respect copyright.PENANAijnHPUXdb2
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 708Please respect copyright.PENANAW6pgu2GNp0
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 708Please respect copyright.PENANAcrihxEffFR
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 708Please respect copyright.PENANAy27rYCSlvi
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 708Please respect copyright.PENANAoekiPSpgiW
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 708Please respect copyright.PENANAnKTHbgwRgi
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.708Please respect copyright.PENANAJVVgOQPT6U
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAxkcsQEima4
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.708Please respect copyright.PENANAeTjg6Sgj43
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."708Please respect copyright.PENANADf6dGRd4uX
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.708Please respect copyright.PENANA3sePqtueQ0
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."708Please respect copyright.PENANAKbumv2jhPT
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."708Please respect copyright.PENANAKnoEwDaXH8
"What stuff?" TOP asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAQtyX682Aiy
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"708Please respect copyright.PENANA9Fd2m8VgAm
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."708Please respect copyright.PENANAQKnIR5qGgH
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.708Please respect copyright.PENANAGbtEeWpL3E
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.708Please respect copyright.PENANAygsuMgRgEo
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.708Please respect copyright.PENANA11SiLsQHpR
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.708Please respect copyright.PENANAwFg5frnWOK
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."708Please respect copyright.PENANAnKlpVtve91
"Wait, what's going on?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAUbDO7y06Ln
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAkcAycRZRZ7
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAzt1NMamwDe
"I thought we should all708Please respect copyright.PENANATDRz2HI8r0
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 708Please respect copyright.PENANApC7TAKnY4G
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."708Please respect copyright.PENANANOXB5OlsIs
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAG2QWYh9p3N
"I don't know, I feel we708Please respect copyright.PENANAAIOPytm299
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.708Please respect copyright.PENANAT7GmVWoeoV
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out708Please respect copyright.PENANAv261k2iJFb
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."708Please respect copyright.PENANALKwkzNcgkz
"I don't get it though,"708Please respect copyright.PENANAjTLjmwnP2N
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 708Please respect copyright.PENANA4ANoCPvYH4
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write708Please respect copyright.PENANAh50le6AFQt
the lyrics?"708Please respect copyright.PENANADtDKF9bcqT
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.708Please respect copyright.PENANAgfYswUPgKK
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAQUQgF0FSoG
This time, I also raised708Please respect copyright.PENANA4YlYbBGdAd
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 708Please respect copyright.PENANAQxEQqCC0Wn
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.708Please respect copyright.PENANA31OR8vd8vj
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANANfvPuw6Pm3
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.708Please respect copyright.PENANAdVlh2DWonj
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.708Please respect copyright.PENANAilY61fsP3c
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAH3yynangCd
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."708Please respect copyright.PENANALmlhRgve8J
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"708Please respect copyright.PENANARJCw9YM3NH
By the way G-Dragon 708Please respect copyright.PENANARmEXnWtJox
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 708Please respect copyright.PENANAlCuNCOehbN
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And708Please respect copyright.PENANAibunwNEYtS
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of708Please respect copyright.PENANAeOWRf7u2Us
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.708Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ70QuR25v
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."708Please respect copyright.PENANA9W0rGw9iRB
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAWYB0ya3TsY
"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."708Please respect copyright.PENANAIirRkuwPYU
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.708Please respect copyright.PENANAQDd1dLAFt0
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 708Please respect copyright.PENANA8YubxNZXOK
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.708Please respect copyright.PENANA8qCiedKCG6
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."708Please respect copyright.PENANAUruyA61RlV
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."708Please respect copyright.PENANAMcwGO5WDCm
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."708Please respect copyright.PENANAvFjU1ebXi0
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."708Please respect copyright.PENANAv4DnIvkgcg
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."708Please respect copyright.PENANA84j63kLleO
"What truth?" I asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAVFxExoEIr0
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."708Please respect copyright.PENANAEwqXP9SyUJ
Taeyang was right. I was708Please respect copyright.PENANASjnwHnrCpF
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 708Please respect copyright.PENANArn2XLN56Ox
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 708Please respect copyright.PENANA10sdIdz4Rx
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 708Please respect copyright.PENANAezVY5np9Va
attention.708Please respect copyright.PENANA2QIfMRVIj9
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."708Please respect copyright.PENANA66GxlZCtI1
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."708Please respect copyright.PENANA3l2m2Lt1JF
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel708Please respect copyright.PENANALKcFLtLOC5
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 708Please respect copyright.PENANAdaS5ML13Id
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!708Please respect copyright.PENANAuNtNQZIh4i
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.708Please respect copyright.PENANARZuQLc6fCZ
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.708Please respect copyright.PENANAx8kouigG9T
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.708Please respect copyright.PENANAtyr22Mq69o
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.708Please respect copyright.PENANAXu7UhYChjP
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.708Please respect copyright.PENANAWQh7jeBaUf
"But I....." 708Please respect copyright.PENANA9oPDDpOLvp
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 708Please respect copyright.PENANAmB9LD7eBvq
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've708Please respect copyright.PENANAce2FdroTNL
talked way too much, don't you think?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAWvLLDvSZNC
That felt like a slap in708Please respect copyright.PENANAjb1P4Sy1tn
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 708Please respect copyright.PENANAuFJDREytvY
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 708Please respect copyright.PENANA4Utz5mcZtG
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 708Please respect copyright.PENANAgjGDuHjjnb
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 708Please respect copyright.PENANAViVxWEUPvM
about what I thought was best for the whole group?708Please respect copyright.PENANA429Y9pChCq
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.708Please respect copyright.PENANAWb6asgaZ4U
"That's fine with me," said Mike.708Please respect copyright.PENANAkP3r0cy42p
Everyone else agreed, 708Please respect copyright.PENANAjoOWzkvQdR
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 708Please respect copyright.PENANAzbweqybeie
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 708Please respect copyright.PENANA255vYoVpZG
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 708Please respect copyright.PENANAWnsSWnT5aK
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 708Please respect copyright.PENANAUAZdzI0GYT
B, just in case.708Please respect copyright.PENANAqhLT4heEu6
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.708Please respect copyright.PENANADiSrbvh6dt
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.708Please respect copyright.PENANAerY0XQj4pS
"Not now, Sam. We will 708Please respect copyright.PENANAQOK4asKCtM
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 708Please respect copyright.PENANAPFonFRKCaf
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 708Please respect copyright.PENANAUTnM5Nr0jf
gave me goosebumps.708Please respect copyright.PENANA4sngvZEUsu
"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."708Please respect copyright.PENANAmLNNeMUg1u
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAZp3OIl4U5y
One by one everyone 708Please respect copyright.PENANA599rR46V9d
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 708Please respect copyright.PENANA44yct8Vbuh
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem708Please respect copyright.PENANAiwcPH5eVqL
appropriate.708Please respect copyright.PENANAiFZRWoNtku
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.708Please respect copyright.PENANASfF1WpkIki
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAUKYcgcgGaX
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.708Please respect copyright.PENANAYLKfK3zfZQ
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.708Please respect copyright.PENANAcCpMe7GEQL
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."708Please respect copyright.PENANAFJCWJcfKzf
"It's not that. I pissed708Please respect copyright.PENANAv82gBscsVe
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take708Please respect copyright.PENANAvRxrAtbrhh
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."708Please respect copyright.PENANAt7FNuYqMS8
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."708Please respect copyright.PENANAEBLv73bNIm
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."708Please respect copyright.PENANA9O4Fwl4sT9
Taeyang placed his hand 708Please respect copyright.PENANA0uAXTFj21K
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He708Please respect copyright.PENANA046sZaggFw
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.708Please respect copyright.PENANAfdDkaBVfXu
I knew I had to hope for708Please respect copyright.PENANA9I0gc0F6TB
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut708Please respect copyright.PENANA5U0ziHT70b
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 708Please respect copyright.PENANAoV30adrjnZ
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 708Please respect copyright.PENANAWlU94mXkLL
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 708Please respect copyright.PENANAbuaPS22dkG
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
