The water felt like a 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAe2woLaHU0z
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVRVd3t7fAH
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAXlmnFijye
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEcMAj8VCgg
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJPwnvXfUro
breathe. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEcPY1Hxfve
I pushed myself upwards 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZNwf5jc7My
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2cnZs4a2r7
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAk4cV1w2MT1
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmifelGlR3n
edge.1041Please respect copyright.PENANADTyuK9zkSq
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFGTMxSq9Tf
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAf7nIRED9sT
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWJOAxeyAip
I looked ridiculously 1041Please respect copyright.PENANADXZAzLgoOa
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIqsouUL3sV
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 1041Please respect copyright.PENANARBc4ZFuZ0T
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1XbgqK0zs6
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyBdUQDVz9h
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAN4yCsY7Dha
I looked around me and 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3On9ZdQ2pg
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANABU4E4yd7OY
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9yd0Yltyhg
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIq3GSNiXOm
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFbtIM4A8P8
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIU9KzCgPOt
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMWQT64lyuO
I heard Zoey and the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqkhJrQLvox
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3WB5fWW8m4
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2aRms0MfcB
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8ESHhFVG6a
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeURwg9FoxY
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYcN1GcN0ZT
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMw8IJXXaP6
"I already told you, I'm1041Please respect copyright.PENANASVTRy7lWuq
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUUIzk3ORZG
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAd8xn4YIbL9
from anyone.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7yesopF51Q
I made my way towards GD1041Please respect copyright.PENANAy42DiJLgHf
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwNx7yhuI5j
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAm1R4EDtpDD
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEvuC5wqat5
"Oh, man, Sam," said 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsoBGHFJboT
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 1041Please respect copyright.PENANARzeIuQp9RB
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAESkBazIBis
game. Hope you didn't mind."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7VEOHdiy9z
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnYVPKTq8Yn
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWnmS3oIUqM
"I told you, our 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfC5eyzatD8
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9wVJ7nkWPV
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWYsBUfneSv
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAuSmOzQBtx8
Daesung.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2KyE8V2mz
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAWFDfzRRNJ
I dialled Lee's number 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJCEDKrlo4g
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcGl7H3V0JL
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA99qtBHvmYx
They would know soon enough.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdG81uTMyu3
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmTJm5oNyHk
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAniAOREzlzs
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7ro8zUSSyA
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAt5lllL3Ln8
"No, not yet. But you 1041Please respect copyright.PENANALVIfUmiMzn
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6DKWhfx8Rt
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvKQP6DS5q5
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAW1WXGp9uE4
"Okay, I'll be waiting."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoe5ndSqxGk
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFtVotltrd2
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAc2dX2yEfNE
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."1041Please respect copyright.PENANARtWxHZyZSi
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANATFsHFD1Z4H
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAisQGKjy8p
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA55m8JvYXJw
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXS2dH3rEON
I shook my head. I was 1041Please respect copyright.PENANACT6oBK7Lc3
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAg8tv5UJyXC
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAn8ldzTz7KJ
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtX8O4BJpux
After walking a few feet1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6zconiCMUC
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxUzzbjbx3j
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtBAI5dqBgY
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAy23ppE3DOz
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMqB4T0Mvgo
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAITsjGCApnp
None of them answered as1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ue4ULt3wf
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1VtwLYfe2a
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjFHpshkOhu
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmU98ExVlqt
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcdTyXQgUbB
"I wasn't going to say 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1VmQ9MGGl
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcUUnAfS0T8
you would want to hear from me is advice."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAiLe3SGj40S
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAszIMoKbhFx
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKdHNzHrYam
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQtkaLJDCWo
"I'm still upset, though."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeAeHduGrGw
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMM0R8RccDs
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeP5kzxHOF9
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtON0QFwTbt
I gave TOP an assuring 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGJhzEVlCjA
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way1041Please respect copyright.PENANAX6tpf5kl3R
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4PLV4D59U
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0AlXxAzldQ
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdGdhXmOYGv
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmAUJptlXjI
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2nEAYtG5il
We all found ourselves 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXe1i8SNxQA
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGJaXwTaxyp
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1fjbhA9JGp
were waiting for me. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhR1tY0RaW9
"Hey, Sam, you don't 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZLhbNesXD
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPM9Bk7QQ6F
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaIOsQIopcN
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzpnNpOj2Ih
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 1041Please respect copyright.PENANADHxGbMYiwO
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA11AJxAHZeX
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch1041Please respect copyright.PENANAA1PEhG9K3N
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkSUHfiDsbr
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAp25h6DzcPi
I had my eyes closed 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdqpSMDsIkL
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnBvEG8eTGz
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjs5qvn8EH4
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."1041Please respect copyright.PENANANu2mnuIb83
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWAhpPTT1sw
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhzCLN8keS0
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."1041Please respect copyright.PENANApEASVRGQXO
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAahVpmT1Sz2
Taeyang led me to his 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAofaubVF3Iz
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 1041Please respect copyright.PENANADZE7XYsSx1
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAknQP9fDpfV
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAs6Vzf7YjQy
In about thirty minutes,1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZQL5KRnRFB
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJdIWGMXBF1
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANApyA7ozlUNr
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVmTgt5ez1e
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3UieI6CJxC
appeared out of the elevator.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAd0vrczyDoq
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANALIilby1PPx
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAswfu0MwYgE
Lee who stood behind 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQMZgVs2qL4
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVlob6v75KY
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 1041Please respect copyright.PENANANFSK3I8y4J
other things in mind.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAN2tv29UDTH
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwCgd1MpkIy
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1xZkAbNqZZ
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnU4YiKrCtf
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHc9ii6cO0s
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1C4LI1vrrP
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0uawS1PRqV
There was an awkward 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjdgtHRSWWB
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhO6gOgmq0I
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.1041Please respect copyright.PENANADdUwLIupOR
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAg0iKEWqBVP
"Well, I hear the press 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAh1C7ZtVlUb
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon1041Please respect copyright.PENANAogioGQimeg
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzScNIIEVCW
"That won't be 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGp0ZMvATi0
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQc4htRKPV7
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOwkLqaX1WU
go to the press looking all wet."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAf9JKr06hVT
I breathed out a sigh of1041Please respect copyright.PENANANhvv2LSe8a
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAj28asOaMX
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAp7oqLVddTT
"In the meantime, you go1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhKNKYLaZpy
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWdPdS13MxT
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJoUcflv5Fw
I nodded my head in 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgbNRLFxmNf
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHdiIcFTXhq
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAozjOwWpKf1
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzAQndLY4Py
"Alright," I said 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5JCpB0IJoX
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmu59EScJ8n
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like1041Please respect copyright.PENANAppAG0ey7SQ
I was only making things worse.1041Please respect copyright.PENANArY6PHuQz9N
Before I turned to leave1041Please respect copyright.PENANALnvxSGtvQr
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPXbTC5FiwL
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXHbDapDqn1
one.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAevYiLSlN3V
***1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVra9AmtsDz
I sat on the couch all 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAu8MZ1WL5Vx
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4OcBN9wb0V
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAP8SgcfKLc9
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUqHmNECDKr
I had a box of paper 1041Please respect copyright.PENANABjtMxqyxKt
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGp08N5diwU
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAksvtYxk5Fi
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAi2xVxve9ml
I continued watching the1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFNDpJ7GH2O
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAx5yTKFOe9A
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2c9vTva1Kg
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqokdBIawgK
"Never better," I said, 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAt9Pq542knn
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAf2WP6LcnDx
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvpVA60MpCD
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.1041Please respect copyright.PENANArnz6JDf7ge
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8o1ZPVr0fV
"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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAve7kB44V5q
"And the others?" 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1lCW1Ugif6
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4XWMcO1MMs
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeisFeEGWUS
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0z9Cbj80eE
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAD4GIxQIkQN
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAiPkp2MBgF0
"You don't know or you are?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5nJK58XVO4
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgs0juM9e3N
"I don't know, Tae," I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYrrjt4aqBP
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 1041Please respect copyright.PENANApgYm9eP9Ne
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEB86U11jsw
forget all that happened yesterday."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtya2plQUFv
"Ya, I understand. They 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMGvAZF9XDO
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsxIAXex8vl
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvvdWLA9iVK
going to get."1041Please respect copyright.PENANARdZb8qZfJB
I looked on at Taeyang 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAetMRnhDRaG
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtqgEWZZurG
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7SammMxuuG
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaLGjaUYsMW
who was as tough as nails.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgkDAhHa8sQ
Last night, I took the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcFaDMYUCUz
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAk0xjhYwglu
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAO5Ky6mzHxk
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxuMiIjU8v5
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPdLkFSKYI3
Apparently, the managers1041Please respect copyright.PENANACs6fzwMFWb
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 1041Please respect copyright.PENANALF1vpcCGbY
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUqXoT80YWQ
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHiEI8gXt4T
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6YbV3Bk4SV
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUpprT3Urhj
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGuXjduJW8x
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnxcZDCsl42
and the reporters.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQWIyp5pk2F
After my confrontation 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQPUGQr9mJT
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I1041Please respect copyright.PENANAw2bsMTULiS
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjYHCYA7atD
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaqjuhA9x4X
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA969roWXGXS
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUFy4mNyjgP
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAs6YlwLOQ8V
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."1041Please respect copyright.PENANABj8YQSAyKw
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA51t4LAF6qd
"Have you tried talking to GD?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjseVuCC6Ge
"To be honest, I haven't1041Please respect copyright.PENANArgSg3tuI2C
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfoe2ZlcpuR
slap him in the face if I see him."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0yCutlC3PT
"I don't doubt that."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbEK3FmXh0z
"And thank goodness my 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZZHdXqMgj6
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAm8OU4G3s2E
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2SNxreNoJ5
want to do is watch some TV."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfmPlwjlm9n
I quickly drank my 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMRMwHYulL1
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAftGKz32WXK
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOL5DRQtgpG
to.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHK6Jwyeo52
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAICPiUgSiLz
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVKqOC5B7gq
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3mU0wJsc2j
"Nope."1041Please respect copyright.PENANALZXVaLr9nR
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.1041Please respect copyright.PENANATIKPNezWTB
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqG9jIidA4b
Taeyang didn't say 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAC2zsZ2PU8n
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened1041Please respect copyright.PENANARcWgSSo87M
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcEF5tzhxJ0
"I know you fought or 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8pM1aeLiJR
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPQow4r7UcS
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."1041Please respect copyright.PENANASm4XRp9m4I
I noticed Taeyang smile 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4HdkNzSd3b
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAix7k3iFvL4
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjKwoZwrYJE
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.1041Please respect copyright.PENANApLP44izdAn
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3KHcsZ9w2b
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHiSO2qWMGR
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKJdIqvYxfD
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAelGlJwvmAZ
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkxUbKzjnzT
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."1041Please respect copyright.PENANACQTMUhfap0
Before I could finish my1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmTFmj2YdrO
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsUn32NLQvO
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.1041Please respect copyright.PENANANtMv8YvAuF
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbVxAZ3ZHKd
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.1041Please respect copyright.PENANApwIdemq32P
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4nowNGvkVP
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."1041Please respect copyright.PENANATCUm8m0Dud
"Yep, cheers to that." 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgQLQfdcXxb
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5IIwsOWale
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAozQ4VeQi11
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbODXEbYkzl
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmRujAZSUBF
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHHqpM16FsJ
"Wow, that sounds personal."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnAYN0c21wI
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwNRe0olHWY
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQBo0XQqC1s
"I think I've a better 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAclxSHzIBzV
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA62ghq06yx2
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA95YZ0MM80N
lyrics. It's better that way."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHWrrfppXRM
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAANQYmQYhW5
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyBjQZ42bhU
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0BKW7FROBn
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVGUxGldjwq
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9O9Om07XCm
"Haha, good point."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdJDE3BiZqL
Taeyang and I continued 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAR4VxwzCIew
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 1041Please respect copyright.PENANABRACtI8Yut
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 1041Please respect copyright.PENANANfNHXz5a7z
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we1041Please respect copyright.PENANAstCYpR4YRC
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUmqUPSj4pK
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOJMjeumOZV
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAokKTx21U4P
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ441Astep
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWuSUk3eESe
While the two of us were1041Please respect copyright.PENANA33yhIEsSuq
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3mlcq7Dqwq
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhstNEtZNbk
I quickly went over to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWnfpTH8T6t
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was1041Please respect copyright.PENANADxwxQzGJig
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung1041Please respect copyright.PENANASeUioJkikQ
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnWctI3G9g6
come up and I put the receiver down.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAl64keyUCgL
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."1041Please respect copyright.PENANApTW6ShvEHe
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOnYXlaKTSI
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAudrN7oX6eC
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKvScHUea0r
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.1041Please respect copyright.PENANATgMdBQ34Ht
"Eww, that pillow 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXsDFWRB7iR
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIqDgZliA7e
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2mCuec4loj
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPBwriPuutH
A few seconds later, we 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXxkg5M6VIm
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOwF1Uos7rt
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsW9EYtWg2l
holding a box of chocolates.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXYrqTiiQjw
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.1041Please respect copyright.PENANANUCqdXqzar
"Ah, no, the panda is a 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHhabVsdm8y
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 1041Please respect copyright.PENANASuhsfqLRWU
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAC8no2eAXrN
same time.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAghYzelcxop
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJFD7JeLkpC
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjkV7nGU8FO
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfB70Djn0uc
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1UPcy1MfvY
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAq4QzW8OxSq
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1K1ydqg5OU
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfLQm1zsQM5
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAW96ztfBAUc
"For goodness sake, I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAb6JS4WItVh
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3GqHjeAhZD
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPDHdmQKGD8
scared with me."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlOoGXI0nix
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXNaQVq7GRz
I took the panda in my 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzp6ppFN5NN
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAp4A2ibBu3y
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQdXe4P98xu
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcskpGagg8D
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.1041Please respect copyright.PENANASxSxSZ3RSb
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUMxUCY7AMz
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2CBhpNUruU
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7krxg0i2zE
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAx7lB4WByPh
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAm9PVUi3Tl
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I1041Please respect copyright.PENANAD6w1O6VdeP
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAC9VPfDUMKX
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAioTaI5urcW
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWvUKSHnttr
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAit1k3oL5mh
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAobpXecVVyx
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAn4MSv6Wd0U
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAo51wudOmC1
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlQrodR1QGn
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."1041Please respect copyright.PENANALzgutwTysG
"Ya, I do."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgatoNudA4o
While the four of us 1041Please respect copyright.PENANASdiNv59juA
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlFICOGawUM
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZaULL5awE
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAX7DPFYxeVz
said:1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeDYFsjh86k
"Hey, Zoey." 1041Please respect copyright.PENANApJVHANr8pd
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7uLh7ddXN
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."1041Please respect copyright.PENANABFSpO3WBhG
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdB9yg2ssJ6
"It's good you came to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwytPsOMHZL
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4T7ITi1c36
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANArFjLL1WCXE
couch.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAobw943Mzcn
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjzVVcTX41K
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwgJEfhX1WK
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKkpenOBo7N
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANACGvdnb2UDp
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.1041Please respect copyright.PENANASnuBt9No8h
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdg4IEP2VE8
I tugged at my panda's 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtq6JhPmor6
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7BoDjXFK9
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking1041Please respect copyright.PENANAG0eH38MRSd
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAe3Px1sPwcR
The Toxins came back to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4dxNHvgS0j
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held1041Please respect copyright.PENANAe4B7aocSc1
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine1041Please respect copyright.PENANAt1rr9FzUnT
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAodgaBBEb3B
For a moment, no one 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjOcDE2No7K
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYzTtrXebCT
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAui5x9T6VOq
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA49hhcb7JQV
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6c3y0RH6Q
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzM60qC9kwh
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFNDCRXQo48
I stared up at the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxCgvehxJcJ
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAx5KMoJQzBk
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWWPZb6XwsL
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvL1aFIsqdE
When Zoey tried to reach1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQahvJnJZlW
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfD2uaO2sfv
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAo8xYiwxhwO
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAp82dLI6Yyd
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAv8DizQkpnn
Zoey looked hurt with 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAU5CT636Ekr
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAwBVCxG8MG
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzuFkXtXHW7
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANATPTxCKrvQW
I didn't answer as I put1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQjcbNC6epk
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9Wv7pP7NyE
was still mad, especially at Zoey.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoj6fQh5A6Q
"I know it's a little 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAchh4iLAgJe
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAC7t1DVhiAx
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUakmWFIbeJ
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 1041Please respect copyright.PENANANQTSCCAuzD
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3JNVh9Z1aq
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAh9Srt83MTH
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWpxBlvAhwc
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPA76eojZrT
"I don't like it when 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJ82HDfHY5C
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAryyfEr1BXp
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 1041Please respect copyright.PENANASmeKHYeyO7
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5aUtdDRLWj
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 1041Please respect copyright.PENANApnFRpuW93g
sorry, Sam."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAExrQvm8H5l
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmIkvLXcDFs
"I'm sorry too," said 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyNJBb2Q335
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAS5xwb2YSfr
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKsP8TgsSDa
for you to talk to us again."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAN2WVg8kMT5
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkpC6kYuiHA
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 1041Please respect copyright.PENANABUPmUsr9kj
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKsEMxvCqQl
leader."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4BNJleaHCF
I still didn't say a 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhhG5MCpIFw
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAs3nAqoq7c0
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 1041Please respect copyright.PENANABRctoI3lkn
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFly1iWkub3
them despite the awful things they put me through.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4kBE0mdirr
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWj2cQd6Wa7
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAN086TOC2Ci
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.1041Please respect copyright.PENANArx9oxTP9Uk
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtEjt7lFWXf
"I'm mad and pretty much1041Please respect copyright.PENANAm6QfRnBq2o
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvA6qBT8YeO
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA818tTJwBVN
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkqO3xQkvnh
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxl7gF40F3b
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAstfcjDopI6
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAuSTW0Pn0Nb
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAal64uVimOo
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAt5LPmuzEPw
"Ah, you! Always acting 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAXANhL0iyW
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0EtRXXNlj5
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANABfqtTjA6Rj
catch it anyway."1041Please respect copyright.PENANARhUfgv65ZH
Christine, Daniel and 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6HOKjLueXZ
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAO3DRWM27bo
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAn0h1PtZy81
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIjKk2wprvy
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtzQ0KvbIiB
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANALPilfnFA1D
"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...."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxzbyhMqOhx
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGG9QvDTKet
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfqB47BqmMl
"Don't worry, you won't 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAM6FtQNBCd4
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzCX7lEV1cb
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsQzGhPDc6H
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEuAdZyuFf2
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7hRR2giIjo
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAxQHiuGiQg
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzPSF0XTX4s
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8IimzbQO4P
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjeQVzm6Snw
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzPabBhR1eY
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAy89wQqjoR0
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtVQZcyVheL
At that moment, I had 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAe8qAWqXDN4
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUuZAJBQ9xi
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.1041Please respect copyright.PENANArTL8mQMjEy
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbLOBJDYCPV
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAW7Ns58iSPt
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdwxxyCvYG7
Zoey got the box of 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA37esH4LFqE
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAuo0OpdVUI1
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAY3CgPla15R
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAehIWos6cc
I was in the passage as I1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMBIFZwz4jb
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHwZwoliLSM
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjFbomQ7R2k
in what felt like sadness.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWV4XGzUu5V
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHy9Z0b7eFR
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAG3NysqTxPa
I heard his footsteps 1041Please respect copyright.PENANALHUUUglKBb
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANACHSVJKt3Z3
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfGnocvDMdY
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAodDXo4CuHz
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwvqrd41FWC
"Are we really do this right now?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAo4uu3FKIRO
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAG3i6vfdjOe
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtsSj9B8YZp
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeixHRUxJWO
"Nope." 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVP8MZ6Q3V7
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAU4RiYZSLat
My eyes almost felt like1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWVaqNc8I4E
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFo4BiHmBYY
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMFXdYMXYkE
I turned to look at him 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4jEMa29hWU
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXEQWleSWJ0
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhypVyrlMlL
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1bhsq6Hez8
"That you're surrounded 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1v9qJXpCrd
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z9Xw5cLwz
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHfzlNb225c
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlidrwiltRN
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzbNzGrfED9
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyT1c6TekaG
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6ACIQ5lin4
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEj7eVnqwhP
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyR8gCUjuRy
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAF8oXWk0fGa
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfQmg67rjhu
Apparently, I couldn't 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhwTftUN3ld
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqAbWmmn4AI
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzWQbXjT0tL
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5ysOYl5wTV
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7TXcr2jmSj
death.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0bkqFv06W
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAuVK5FhDHQ
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAM30ulbTLMd
Taeyang folded his arms 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtjbIOMznbT
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think1041Please respect copyright.PENANAK7joUiHGoQ
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOaE2iQkcCZ
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvPXHC59q1d
"You're may think you're1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4YbdIqDrFf
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAuSFJ5lxyQS
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 1041Please respect copyright.PENANATJfzQcRlEA
but feeling hurt."1041Please respect copyright.PENANADuLrFfQnu0
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnlYSlFhIQW
"But I wouldn't feel 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzXt1JIgReY
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJwtkmps2QW
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEas1bdMgjD
at Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhVS3bvT1Sb
Taeyang gave me that 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqos2IkWuMM
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWasE1oq4v0
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsaNw1kRDuA
while in return, he nodded.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAr0nXfh9wjd
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvBxTfB44x7
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcWOanp1uFX
I didn't say a word as I1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeI82MdK8Ah
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnMCDlv6AeQ
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHE6MznNXKe
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaB2TQYSpJ7
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAuZH1P7kE35
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."1041Please respect copyright.PENANABTT5fHwMC7
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4et3RqdC2u
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtgX4vWoiVh
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhWJE2VGJNe
If there was ever a way I1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVAg1SCVcNu
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 1041Please respect copyright.PENANANL9ndp3jQb
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAewtmEhHVUA
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1N51va5Huh
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAugtzY31EVT
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaysMP6taUY
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdmqfwT47Sa
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQWxefSCbXV
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnXJoFKs1PP
"Well, I'm just asking,"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUlkddqKnl7
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7CNVIRt4Fx
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3Wm9hED8b3
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfudOG1KRtr
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAILbLmlcDMV
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxt4KmVy3bt
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlFc0tQOygc
I pressed the button 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAu9jQwe7Tg5
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAA2MjRkXShl
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQcLthPFpXB
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAX8o1lGEe5k
We went to the main 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUiRCdWTdUz
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJy5hfWCNF1
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjn9PKIQmPp
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMZI2ouEcYv
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.1041Please respect copyright.PENANApLzhSKJLho
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhuHGjXdMRq
"To be honest, we just 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKOWRsRfwmf
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANApueTGG7gxM
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6cwMTLQWHL
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqjVas01XjA
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqPc0pXjmHu
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFvq2bwg4CV
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfMPzjcekpk
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAuVM1erdiDl
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1GhiM1nJWp
"Nah, I don't think so,"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUfs6C2GUXO
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so1041Please respect copyright.PENANApK6GEPni6I
he would be treating me like that."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMSg13mSfOq
"Mmm, I don't think so,"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYuoobmsysu
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGLq3TEJcv6
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAo1O3w9Fxxs
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2RmT1FDjcG
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOZK1qRs725
"Then, stop trying to make one."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAT8Qsk5o0Nk
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."1041Please respect copyright.PENANALoD3qqC3jy
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxhrNLhDT3K
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAp3BsHaEuab
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANANDC93dyUfM
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXhWxYe3afr
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmw2Is5ox4I
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA07dknUxhKX
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA24xvbbkZCT
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAb7BAmQm3dB
I didn't even dare try 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAShUGU4YeIV
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxnLWJyL1qc
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKl4AZ1FCLZ
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlwLse0LKs4
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQcktKq26Tk
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxC3nAl2m50
I heard footsteps coming1041Please respect copyright.PENANAuxBrp4hkar
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ub22iNhGL
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAp6BDzYCMTY
look at me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAl9a6Z9xII8
"Are you okay?" he whispered.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA72rnbNMNsr
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.1041Please respect copyright.PENANASuFDaXYAur
I soon felt strong hands1041Please respect copyright.PENANABglsjGgXVv
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFvh0pqkPPz
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFPTbFylCw3
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXcBPzTYeSi
"I'm a whole lot better,1041Please respect copyright.PENANAolYnWCzrnf
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 1041Please respect copyright.PENANArGyeb2naes
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAL1JcNwH9OB
"Glad to hear that."1041Please respect copyright.PENANApQH7XQjVvC
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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbGvMZlNPVi
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."1041Please respect copyright.PENANATpWZKEK885
I was planning not to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsalBWSxF9y
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGiI12K3JdJ
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqm2ckPJCBF
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to1041Please respect copyright.PENANAiIN7QOH5zC
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGqBdCupnPH
under the bridge.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAi8rB4hYZiy
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."1041Please respect copyright.PENANATD5KiOOs8k
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcTC3OSgF8Z
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA60OZzBnJPX
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvjFxhTF5j2
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdvpWPAykwX
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHV6lMi18Iv
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnwvJ8Nl4Kj
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtbGVkIyrH7
The waiters soon came 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAj7yINF2Zw5
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.1041Please respect copyright.PENANATN7M560nwt
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyZdkyv8OUp
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxVKpvREBIP
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4KrFIo0rvy
For a moment, I felt 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5oFQljol9Z
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIGmZCVJMFJ
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxIcDd2xWM4
me to forget that I was ever mad.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqCNCmejm0X
"Mmm, this is so 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAiL7Er0tOk0
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAO9u7OHwbVv
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAelMxf5cmRS
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9fu2Csm13g
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmvgY7rPFDl
"Anything for you, Sam,"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbGDlS4mnrT
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlLHdzrbELD
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAu05ZrowQx4
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMsSpNs3oS1
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEv9xEERyoU
I had just taken in some1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1c1h6waQsI
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAc7pKI8GxDc
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzQokEafAIN
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgqhnklU3v5
just said.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJTjSgGu3ys
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAG6uepTNZ5i
"Well, ya," Christine 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA51zbPyIQIc
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfJuPPc6c7O
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAo3bndKUkHp
special lunch to lighten your mood."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgWiwsCN1rJ
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzXlanLRnFf
"Thanks for the lunch, 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAuqzZpsxrSk
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1AuQpG8nIQ
sweet of you to have come up with this."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAQqarjKTAl
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAlvkweK6Gm
I almost felt like 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKJCKITrXOJ
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0A9TNe26R2
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare1041Please respect copyright.PENANAa701AO2kHh
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZjJAKxbNgi
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEyOtvC7CG6
turning into rage?1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9aAvrKx1es
Oh, goodness. I needed 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvpnX0ZwXLp
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7ByFhi5u9A
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmarIJ4s3kg
I tried to push aside 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFuqIbYPdNj
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 1041Please respect copyright.PENANABmvSxfQFzE
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkHlmqhmQ7X
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxiuWMvRFSr
chocolate moussé.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAu748sjcT4e
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKW5o8LvTVP
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1SVek957b
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3M9ehGm5km
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9vBaabfaKz
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeEEGdmLAPq
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxCbcTZ13Bo
I didn't wait for 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaRO8W5Zinu
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I1041Please respect copyright.PENANAL5cePySXN3
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPIkWEqiWf1
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAs3nGLo3ocf
heaven.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAiCJcFfJpdq
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJeUiapz8en
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFiN4RzPlAz
"I don't care," I said 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0cXU7zbzJ6
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMsb5tzp5mI
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPzFcAPZfXs
G-Dragon smiled back at 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0KCTjGTFCf
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 1041Please respect copyright.PENANADJNeVfjxcj
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 1041Please respect copyright.PENANArTvMIY2rrf
away.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsbpH7adVjH
After dessert, we all 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXAFddlr8Rg
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 1041Please respect copyright.PENANACKBKd1sA8A
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVUm31lldpi
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvJwaEQIqdc
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmTq5oLRh1U
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQAgPwOs3Mw
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtL6Tca58AD
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANANRbzMyi6HT
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhFFcz7fkdJ
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."1041Please respect copyright.PENANANgFZcVowKw
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIAiZMnOWAH
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJU0XZKAtjd
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."1041Please respect copyright.PENANADVKumid0QM
"What stuff?" TOP asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMlUG0Lojoz
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANABnzD94neiS
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAe29kt9cltl
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAuP2YRP3Dun
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJDmLGCedsG
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWipGqOijWH
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHWeNvJ7wxI
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcl1tNzLXcG
"Wait, what's going on?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAo0ceQcay3j
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAB8EYInnomb
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8qAFQg2IVG
"I thought we should all1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvLPJRvij3F
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 1041Please respect copyright.PENANABkIflY15Kd
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdaoj465OuO
"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.1041Please respect copyright.PENANALzD9Yq8eHk
"I don't know, I feel we1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQoLQKKd0Zs
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgA3p7GTiBI
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYBYlRQJo71
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAP0Xf2DtBa7
"I don't get it though,"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZapTpWXV9s
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYBLjS5VngB
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgrOtsw8ev4
the lyrics?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANALDshEAHIyJ
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1PUa6ei1my
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcqZ8CifVkI
This time, I also raised1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtLO4LMShCS
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8W5Ku1JXLl
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGuYN7NfuRq
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnO7M9wSbVP
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlz3PwdLX4S
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA20wB2JL6Tk
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANA16FigThRdU
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAq4nTeMGa0W
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6ahQDNDPax
By the way G-Dragon 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0jhMG8Jkm9
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKGttGcTawG
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And1041Please respect copyright.PENANACvkt1AAb2r
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXHlhvFRN3x
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlGatZHJY4J
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA54tdSIwvBx
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEEwONpDgDP
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2gyU4Ed7s5
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAO5U7fK8zM6
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfikmdT75fa
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.1041Please respect copyright.PENANACohDvOkFql
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoF7Zm9JtVI
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvNf4QHYBYr
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbMkuSQpgCD
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdnVwvPvDLS
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAP0up05Cx3P
"What truth?" I asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAf6rDkOcgHH
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjpuqS51k5m
Taeyang was right. I was1041Please respect copyright.PENANAV5RjKiOpX6
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQRUOLn57S4
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1SauLIlE3C
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgbMrbIS8jA
attention.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhB6hUHFfgH
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Ld1e71No
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbN9Zkv1knu
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqpGlTPKYd9
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPrTIgW86of
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2cQoulek2Y
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtBXp1NYr5U
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.1041Please respect copyright.PENANASSdQVUcI1P
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAm1OdpLQ9BF
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOP5C7nYQjR
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGUcNfetkiQ
"But I....." 1041Please respect copyright.PENANApXXfidISGa
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAc7008bp8Yw
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've1041Please respect copyright.PENANA69uJ32YNey
talked way too much, don't you think?"1041Please respect copyright.PENANA699FhoN85r
That felt like a slap in1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHp8rly16Ns
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3KAcGEUnTq
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxK5Fno8RTa
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfBiU1pATE4
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAegIvf2SQs0
about what I thought was best for the whole group?1041Please respect copyright.PENANALOfqxV2IX4
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.1041Please respect copyright.PENANANh9DJGI8oc
"That's fine with me," said Mike.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAg6Lihmryxk
Everyone else agreed, 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1nMpoxUOkX
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0cD5vF5TIF
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUr99TSQlFP
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAF57pHEuAnW
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6ehsQXf6J5
B, just in case.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAs2PAzOFWh4
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvY9V97JTmi
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUVpkKYRKmT
"Not now, Sam. We will 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhFsAHdRtZD
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0HpqyZtoR5
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkE62sXyZwK
gave me goosebumps.1041Please respect copyright.PENANALmpH081cwM
"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."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAi9Gbi53RBD
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzcJ2OU9HnA
One by one everyone 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzA4YR4jarC
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 1041Please respect copyright.PENANASDRUldCsAk
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem1041Please respect copyright.PENANAz2PtmqH4qp
appropriate.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMKRMCplKay
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAW6uewRaBqg
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQSwuCTQi71
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXP5tmwxf7O
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQhCb0qQdsA
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVtrlLN5YI4
"It's not that. I pissed1041Please respect copyright.PENANAc2sMIEuov4
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMSvxCaCenC
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYEQbTEKk0l
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxlDHKqs8sl
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWyEvx6gHjD
Taeyang placed his hand 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdobxdty2uJ
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkoVdgHCpEN
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnmVK4Mvfb0
I knew I had to hope for1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAxuaAm0ro4
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2MmDAUthpX
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQpkQqFQTKt
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUcVdLhuytH
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWLMUqxn3ep
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
