The water felt like a 702Please respect copyright.PENANAT1DbVnZYH0
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 702Please respect copyright.PENANAx72ceg8BWA
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 702Please respect copyright.PENANABja6iY0EnS
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 702Please respect copyright.PENANAr8Y2TLLoFG
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 702Please respect copyright.PENANA7drnNZQyG7
breathe. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYaNTR6XuGT
I pushed myself upwards 702Please respect copyright.PENANAxUHBruEBUK
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of702Please respect copyright.PENANAavnNygPUXK
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAWaXipLMhfz
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 702Please respect copyright.PENANARoVRb5DeJa
edge.702Please respect copyright.PENANA7LzB75640c
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.702Please respect copyright.PENANAPlUUDfRn8Q
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.702Please respect copyright.PENANAtBKoJjfoCx
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.702Please respect copyright.PENANADLElCUPaG6
I looked ridiculously 702Please respect copyright.PENANAhOWRFJYULr
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 702Please respect copyright.PENANAaN7OOv7Qfa
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 702Please respect copyright.PENANABDhF2NYEbU
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 702Please respect copyright.PENANALPs4wgXKwQ
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 702Please respect copyright.PENANARmmyJknTkO
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.702Please respect copyright.PENANA4x2knb0CFa
I looked around me and 702Please respect copyright.PENANA64exTS4ZWE
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 702Please respect copyright.PENANA4YsFU3ioE1
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 702Please respect copyright.PENANAGZNfL7Wlyj
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 702Please respect copyright.PENANAeBUm9QABd3
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.702Please respect copyright.PENANAM52wxMC7e2
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."702Please respect copyright.PENANAeMNljrGLPe
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."702Please respect copyright.PENANAkzwEqsPYt8
I heard Zoey and the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAM3PvgGpwFa
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on702Please respect copyright.PENANAZuavSowy6M
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.702Please respect copyright.PENANA2mOIRwvuXe
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 702Please respect copyright.PENANA6J8VvAAWWl
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's702Please respect copyright.PENANAUvkHi5IciP
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 702Please respect copyright.PENANAzyW06e5Dan
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."702Please respect copyright.PENANAwrz93BUPG4
"I already told you, I'm702Please respect copyright.PENANAsn58358HAI
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I702Please respect copyright.PENANAQCMOTJvn70
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 702Please respect copyright.PENANAK3MeeHJqRl
from anyone.702Please respect copyright.PENANAqL7baQSpOM
I made my way towards GD702Please respect copyright.PENANAXKASEWFUNo
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what702Please respect copyright.PENANAO0AATDT6XN
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 702Please respect copyright.PENANAmzwUqyL2a7
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.702Please respect copyright.PENANAOymEcISbEB
"Oh, man, Sam," said 702Please respect copyright.PENANAkbuK24SsEi
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 702Please respect copyright.PENANAW1BJlapGpR
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAfY8G5EkXqZ
game. Hope you didn't mind."702Please respect copyright.PENANAvPwVvqd5GA
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."702Please respect copyright.PENANAewMcYqV6NH
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."702Please respect copyright.PENANA6iIGOHwQ9n
"I told you, our 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYQnoLGPjgQ
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZLBjcl0GuU
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 702Please respect copyright.PENANAP41CSR9qPe
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 702Please respect copyright.PENANA21pTHxhF25
Daesung.702Please respect copyright.PENANA595zFxYl6Z
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAwJe2xgIdAF
I dialled Lee's number 702Please respect copyright.PENANAPlaJlmlL9X
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 702Please respect copyright.PENANAAWxPZRcQr8
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 702Please respect copyright.PENANA3e5keXMbpk
They would know soon enough.702Please respect copyright.PENANAe4Wif8vjR8
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.702Please respect copyright.PENANAiGkzS4OZ4k
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.702Please respect copyright.PENANAv5rQ41hi7e
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAlF66TefU1W
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"702Please respect copyright.PENANANppGVIHPxi
"No, not yet. But you 702Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZRq9Je2Sh
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And702Please respect copyright.PENANAKi1FALJioa
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."702Please respect copyright.PENANAa229MLJH4t
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."702Please respect copyright.PENANA4EZ5Y7KxuU
"Okay, I'll be waiting."702Please respect copyright.PENANATwvJu3er1n
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.702Please respect copyright.PENANAEy1QXZSokE
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAOKoCFEriJO
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."702Please respect copyright.PENANArR1f4Xc6KO
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAevVGqABpje
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."702Please respect copyright.PENANAieDFHEhqOC
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.702Please respect copyright.PENANAmj5OLmnJKP
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."702Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hfy8A9lt5
I shook my head. I was 702Please respect copyright.PENANAjuIoZlkZk0
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 702Please respect copyright.PENANA0yoKA4wfkh
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 702Please respect copyright.PENANAXLeMyjiY2C
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.702Please respect copyright.PENANAB1YteZUTwK
After walking a few feet702Please respect copyright.PENANAWdjJ8EiOYB
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 702Please respect copyright.PENANAqMKsD3J6qy
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was702Please respect copyright.PENANACYQLdyeUZL
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 702Please respect copyright.PENANAGD9Ohl6bhT
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.702Please respect copyright.PENANA8nLOP0WmYa
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAb5qou3cn2f
None of them answered as702Please respect copyright.PENANAcRCir9oAOc
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAxAC8Vmc2c2
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 702Please respect copyright.PENANA9jfYbWlaZn
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAyusn88o346
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.702Please respect copyright.PENANAdE8prXWqZP
"I wasn't going to say 702Please respect copyright.PENANAS8M484KrQ5
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing702Please respect copyright.PENANAkXpoBbfdDR
you would want to hear from me is advice."702Please respect copyright.PENANAoRqOy5Se3o
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAzI9yn3S8Nc
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.702Please respect copyright.PENANAG7JckwfPSd
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."702Please respect copyright.PENANAM5w6BYfsBK
"I'm still upset, though."702Please respect copyright.PENANAeqJ1LqNOvX
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."702Please respect copyright.PENANAuO6hlWvUsb
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."702Please respect copyright.PENANAX5wzTNtlt9
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."702Please respect copyright.PENANAWJf4jSDfxX
I gave TOP an assuring 702Please respect copyright.PENANAwUAcbwVNu3
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way702Please respect copyright.PENANAUunhrcDVAA
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZTVqMZbzTL
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I702Please respect copyright.PENANAlQEZlRKHrO
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't702Please respect copyright.PENANAHCb2YWb59L
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 702Please respect copyright.PENANAvyCZ4YzMyi
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.702Please respect copyright.PENANAZKnkKPhh7b
We all found ourselves 702Please respect copyright.PENANArMw97mgNLy
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins702Please respect copyright.PENANAr9tjNbToGh
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 702Please respect copyright.PENANARK1Zatomcx
were waiting for me. 702Please respect copyright.PENANARlud25rIxL
"Hey, Sam, you don't 702Please respect copyright.PENANAC7vqMO7uCo
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 702Please respect copyright.PENANA1theQkZHqK
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.702Please respect copyright.PENANANdQNzGgqTK
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."702Please respect copyright.PENANAB06Yah6ahS
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 702Please respect copyright.PENANAOSXnjjYety
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 702Please respect copyright.PENANA05q785dLB2
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch702Please respect copyright.PENANA05eOur9bxa
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAXkVAxtZAlE
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.702Please respect copyright.PENANAWK7HgIALmC
I had my eyes closed 702Please respect copyright.PENANAShseJRQteS
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found702Please respect copyright.PENANAegeDb593XC
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAu2i9dmBdS7
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."702Please respect copyright.PENANAFFS9ZK1uDL
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.702Please respect copyright.PENANAW46CRJ6qSt
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."702Please respect copyright.PENANAxQygR8eJL0
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."702Please respect copyright.PENANA5nYoNEiNRC
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."702Please respect copyright.PENANAIK0fcYzGo9
Taeyang led me to his 702Please respect copyright.PENANAgR912PGPbj
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 702Please respect copyright.PENANAUrDuAWPFgJ
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 702Please respect copyright.PENANAl5VMfzTjYR
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.702Please respect copyright.PENANAYJlKPAfBvf
In about thirty minutes,702Please respect copyright.PENANAoHbmMsvEfu
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 702Please respect copyright.PENANA7IbJOOSx3S
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 702Please respect copyright.PENANA3lWxI6ZB9q
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 702Please respect copyright.PENANAKI5umJBRDG
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 702Please respect copyright.PENANAEr3J9KPYRO
appeared out of the elevator.702Please respect copyright.PENANA9pSeAJZ8Wx
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA2G8Je5c5tI
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.702Please respect copyright.PENANAGNaI5WFcjK
Lee who stood behind 702Please respect copyright.PENANA53oXlQKt1g
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 702Please respect copyright.PENANAHqLJtu1UZl
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 702Please respect copyright.PENANA1L2V9KBZGM
other things in mind.702Please respect copyright.PENANAlf8o6YItfq
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAeYwiX6SiFm
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 702Please respect copyright.PENANAu1OVMKqL1F
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 702Please respect copyright.PENANAW05YxP98vD
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.702Please respect copyright.PENANAidaFlVWiU3
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAjobV3Gu1CI
"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."702Please respect copyright.PENANAh8PbGGW4a4
There was an awkward 702Please respect copyright.PENANAcn8dk8iaal
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,702Please respect copyright.PENANAQkH4eL72Aw
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.702Please respect copyright.PENANAr9h7vYpoe5
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANA1YhTZL85zB
"Well, I hear the press 702Please respect copyright.PENANAEGZDXgGAzF
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon702Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9ecF4WwoH
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."702Please respect copyright.PENANAXr42nuE4Uw
"That won't be 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYAbZQ6CYjz
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 702Please respect copyright.PENANA1zJeSnrxYi
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to702Please respect copyright.PENANAnBbOhhXbOu
go to the press looking all wet."702Please respect copyright.PENANATDIJBuoVBt
I breathed out a sigh of702Please respect copyright.PENANAGzCFXQwlnc
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 702Please respect copyright.PENANArr5fkvxtJr
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.702Please respect copyright.PENANAaqz5QEizhu
"In the meantime, you go702Please respect copyright.PENANA3SOfjw6PD4
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 702Please respect copyright.PENANAwr4j3qUh8h
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."702Please respect copyright.PENANAUGSHCXytnT
I nodded my head in 702Please respect copyright.PENANAFbATMZ51tR
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 702Please respect copyright.PENANA40jRcOgRUb
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.702Please respect copyright.PENANAmdBVyzYxNS
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.702Please respect copyright.PENANAajw07w4LwS
"Alright," I said 702Please respect copyright.PENANAAyyDIwvMnW
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 702Please respect copyright.PENANAdEAtD5jrKV
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like702Please respect copyright.PENANA66XBATFEZN
I was only making things worse.702Please respect copyright.PENANA8lTuygw2Wx
Before I turned to leave702Please respect copyright.PENANAtOvOxWT0qa
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 702Please respect copyright.PENANAPMkee9ieN8
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 702Please respect copyright.PENANAuiufH6UldS
one.702Please respect copyright.PENANAas9m8lg8P5
***702Please respect copyright.PENANAvmzgHxm58a
I sat on the couch all 702Please respect copyright.PENANAuFZqvm4JKk
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued702Please respect copyright.PENANAturuTLHIpJ
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"702Please respect copyright.PENANAppbu40fI6M
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 702Please respect copyright.PENANA1fK0aIvicR
I had a box of paper 702Please respect copyright.PENANAD1FRvN6ESL
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my702Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6GfQXMS5r
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 702Please respect copyright.PENANALZCRhqacRI
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.702Please respect copyright.PENANAXMwKN7mpNG
I continued watching the702Please respect copyright.PENANAWXPvJiGfIB
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 702Please respect copyright.PENANAhoDSL3u7CD
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAOr4lfjyfNL
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.702Please respect copyright.PENANAETZ8aTRTyQ
"Never better," I said, 702Please respect copyright.PENANAnhUiKCBTPf
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 702Please respect copyright.PENANARoIBDsAeUD
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."702Please respect copyright.PENANAxaYZ8LiyvX
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.702Please respect copyright.PENANAu2akNiTKtL
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.702Please respect copyright.PENANA8eR2djBZhC
"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.702Please respect copyright.PENANA0vtmnc7HWw
"And the others?" 702Please respect copyright.PENANAQHHXA5coPX
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.702Please respect copyright.PENANAZ95VlAE1wK
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.702Please respect copyright.PENANAM1N4GIexFo
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAPcrQptgUJP
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.702Please respect copyright.PENANABimXDa6yE5
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.702Please respect copyright.PENANApuBHQ6Rk83
"You don't know or you are?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAxDFDO0XUTD
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.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJhWWAKMfMn
"I don't know, Tae," I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAUAdMhWVRrO
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 702Please respect copyright.PENANAfQANNvKXSH
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAAWuxZR5UdS
forget all that happened yesterday."702Please respect copyright.PENANAxOdjRnxKhq
"Ya, I understand. They 702Please respect copyright.PENANAb90EvcsUwm
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 702Please respect copyright.PENANAs6saLI7ATC
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were702Please respect copyright.PENANACCbhw6LD0p
going to get."702Please respect copyright.PENANA4gVUojhp18
I looked on at Taeyang 702Please respect copyright.PENANA90V1rDxxUF
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 702Please respect copyright.PENANAxlgBMg6Z4h
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 702Please respect copyright.PENANAXAxsF0OCc9
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 702Please respect copyright.PENANAdd02GjvlY4
who was as tough as nails.702Please respect copyright.PENANAWSogRx5G5q
Last night, I took the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAsCPdfstesp
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 702Please respect copyright.PENANARMA9aI8LAN
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZlvuJ3auUy
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 702Please respect copyright.PENANAfBFguw64Ct
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 702Please respect copyright.PENANApm0qSbgEGv
Apparently, the managers702Please respect copyright.PENANAKK3VDf55Tb
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 702Please respect copyright.PENANALTKfH5FF1I
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought702Please respect copyright.PENANA2w6y8mDidt
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 702Please respect copyright.PENANA73qBQgf8ab
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZo3LgFlqkP
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 702Please respect copyright.PENANAiNnnvRci0d
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 702Please respect copyright.PENANA5e13YCFl8C
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYfQrSQnJV5
and the reporters.702Please respect copyright.PENANArX45ZPi862
After my confrontation 702Please respect copyright.PENANAmfvgaPCaih
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I702Please respect copyright.PENANARVFY0iPiQy
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,702Please respect copyright.PENANAgHZiJHqxmH
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJLOiXmDW9u
"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."702Please respect copyright.PENANA4nMZ6Hynh5
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.702Please respect copyright.PENANAhXP3cRYcF1
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."702Please respect copyright.PENANAfdfvG0ihbV
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."702Please respect copyright.PENANAjysE7Nvwcj
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."702Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ql6W6OLXr
"Have you tried talking to GD?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAAj8zs4CLLD
"To be honest, I haven't702Please respect copyright.PENANAVabMEYaCTT
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 702Please respect copyright.PENANAkYm85I4MJi
slap him in the face if I see him."702Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ6hTphEZm
"I don't doubt that."702Please respect copyright.PENANAIz6NG50AVW
"And thank goodness my 702Please respect copyright.PENANAHyPepyJmpw
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 702Please respect copyright.PENANA8py11rET0V
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I702Please respect copyright.PENANAiaLgNhx8ky
want to do is watch some TV."702Please respect copyright.PENANAY8ArggDSD1
I quickly drank my 702Please respect copyright.PENANAczxQZsmHWS
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 702Please respect copyright.PENANAkPmE9dN4vJ
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 702Please respect copyright.PENANAoiagCmUBq8
to.702Please respect copyright.PENANApVxmJ0WA4f
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.702Please respect copyright.PENANAyddijY2LBV
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.702Please respect copyright.PENANAr5WG8Sy4Pi
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAwWp9zmRIF2
"Nope."702Please respect copyright.PENANA7jjhs4BSm2
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.702Please respect copyright.PENANA02Et5z3sT2
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAxlu0AbkGAq
Taeyang didn't say 702Please respect copyright.PENANA9YKsgbiD61
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened702Please respect copyright.PENANAxBoq01RvK1
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."702Please respect copyright.PENANAjiPNrYThp0
"I know you fought or 702Please respect copyright.PENANAE79ww86zc1
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAsavGhGY4hX
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."702Please respect copyright.PENANA8hq4VlOVcv
I noticed Taeyang smile 702Please respect copyright.PENANAiBTzpklg8F
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 702Please respect copyright.PENANAsQk15olWB0
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 702Please respect copyright.PENANA0rvUzfrfzX
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.702Please respect copyright.PENANAynX6IGevaC
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.702Please respect copyright.PENANA2ualvqnzSS
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."702Please respect copyright.PENANAcLfN5Ojr61
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?702Please respect copyright.PENANAeLdKPgbMXp
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.702Please respect copyright.PENANAvOR2pvpR3t
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."702Please respect copyright.PENANATi9YIvtn35
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."702Please respect copyright.PENANAa6AUVDL6H8
Before I could finish my702Please respect copyright.PENANAT8UCoaUmeT
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 702Please respect copyright.PENANAIO1ajFlYPY
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.702Please respect copyright.PENANA9u6r5Vygt4
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.702Please respect copyright.PENANAB45bk1Scqm
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.702Please respect copyright.PENANAGt8aJXg2SC
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."702Please respect copyright.PENANAzMUuJo3T9I
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."702Please respect copyright.PENANAFTML6boBCN
"Yep, cheers to that." 702Please respect copyright.PENANAbasskYGmwd
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAzZm6nFd50p
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.702Please respect copyright.PENANAOl9q21VjSk
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAxWQoI5BTwH
"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."702Please respect copyright.PENANAdENyaSyetn
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."702Please respect copyright.PENANAaGRFdMGriG
"Wow, that sounds personal."702Please respect copyright.PENANA6seNNoyJmJ
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."702Please respect copyright.PENANAXhmy2Uspk2
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAr8tEYnwv3s
"I think I've a better 702Please respect copyright.PENANAAOuDjUJvs0
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 702Please respect copyright.PENANAyOpsb42xBi
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 702Please respect copyright.PENANAAaSAlPovrZ
lyrics. It's better that way."702Please respect copyright.PENANAC4DEvhn4FO
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAmuHM2pgYXL
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."702Please respect copyright.PENANADj624Ssz6e
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."702Please respect copyright.PENANA3FK6kQqdgh
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."702Please respect copyright.PENANAx44hL8xT9Y
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."702Please respect copyright.PENANAR90SSPSKpx
"Haha, good point."702Please respect copyright.PENANAGvgNgYZL1g
Taeyang and I continued 702Please respect copyright.PENANAISbYjNltKj
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 702Please respect copyright.PENANAxZohxJPg4W
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 702Please respect copyright.PENANAhW0mH9fPFU
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we702Please respect copyright.PENANAnpmqZfXOw1
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 702Please respect copyright.PENANAVlMcBrGlkG
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 702Please respect copyright.PENANAFI5NiMstvW
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 702Please respect copyright.PENANAAtRZct9xkV
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 702Please respect copyright.PENANA6n7dvcAf09
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.702Please respect copyright.PENANANrcaUNDOTu
While the two of us were702Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bb5TJy19s
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,702Please respect copyright.PENANAAJfgAKndA1
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAnMKbDvBcdW
I quickly went over to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAqbCeJnhtf9
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was702Please respect copyright.PENANASCRUmf3zN7
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung702Please respect copyright.PENANAsb89KVQ1FI
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could702Please respect copyright.PENANAcYSC5f8fJM
come up and I put the receiver down.702Please respect copyright.PENANAvq4TbagikH
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."702Please respect copyright.PENANA8gqx188XWa
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."702Please respect copyright.PENANAIjm4lRO6RD
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."702Please respect copyright.PENANA7uVgXpTL5A
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.702Please respect copyright.PENANAlPtF2Pwqao
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.702Please respect copyright.PENANANOutF3TkNy
"Eww, that pillow 702Please respect copyright.PENANACHobfjOvfn
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 702Please respect copyright.PENANA30uWUEVcu8
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.702Please respect copyright.PENANAm2OzNQxHXa
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.702Please respect copyright.PENANASXAmysYVJe
A few seconds later, we 702Please respect copyright.PENANAuPR4uGcVn3
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 702Please respect copyright.PENANAmUMDkt2cEt
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 702Please respect copyright.PENANAvKJwRvTmjc
holding a box of chocolates.702Please respect copyright.PENANAA7j4ILbylD
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.702Please respect copyright.PENANA1o6nX89LgD
"Ah, no, the panda is a 702Please respect copyright.PENANAmEk9QAUlSr
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 702Please respect copyright.PENANA0zY7gdj4gh
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAqpJQHtz8yN
same time.702Please respect copyright.PENANAsKjpHkmNyz
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."702Please respect copyright.PENANArRgM1BcdZe
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.702Please respect copyright.PENANAXzF0gwqCV1
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"702Please respect copyright.PENANATmtU9g58a8
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."702Please respect copyright.PENANApTBRLcuZkX
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.702Please respect copyright.PENANAsBxnqJP90g
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.702Please respect copyright.PENANA7OgR0A430R
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."702Please respect copyright.PENANA1ku4cwkMjY
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.702Please respect copyright.PENANAiLW4BO6Hrx
"For goodness sake, I 702Please respect copyright.PENANANvrIdwE8of
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 702Please respect copyright.PENANAXXahkyVYp0
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 702Please respect copyright.PENANAAVWS9N12sr
scared with me."702Please respect copyright.PENANAl6vnkbYXRv
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.702Please respect copyright.PENANAIyZFsFwAve
I took the panda in my 702Please respect copyright.PENANAo5CXXRnmbv
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 702Please respect copyright.PENANAjDNWcjL3Sy
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 702Please respect copyright.PENANA92auGLNAcE
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 702Please respect copyright.PENANAR4nDmFbMbk
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.702Please respect copyright.PENANA50wl0F0sYH
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."702Please respect copyright.PENANAtKMkqXTNpC
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."702Please respect copyright.PENANAEzReOjeCxh
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAX7y231rNAf
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.702Please respect copyright.PENANAfYlBnvmBPk
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."702Please respect copyright.PENANAVNRCo1naVu
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I702Please respect copyright.PENANAtkH5dwB0lo
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 702Please respect copyright.PENANATjPRkAl7bA
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 702Please respect copyright.PENANAQCgg96OkmJ
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."702Please respect copyright.PENANA39v8oBXShm
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."702Please respect copyright.PENANA3CG8EpqYJP
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."702Please respect copyright.PENANAA9vA44EliM
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.702Please respect copyright.PENANANbTxUjXFbZ
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."702Please respect copyright.PENANAp2sUEajiqC
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.702Please respect copyright.PENANAMtpkPz6rvl
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."702Please respect copyright.PENANAWsrSG1RqiP
"Ya, I do."702Please respect copyright.PENANAt6mHlCL7nP
While the four of us 702Please respect copyright.PENANAhsgUoHVb51
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 702Please respect copyright.PENANAW2fBW9fzqR
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 702Please respect copyright.PENANADngDmqOqtz
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 702Please respect copyright.PENANAauK361nRJS
said:702Please respect copyright.PENANAKHZNI8WySa
"Hey, Zoey." 702Please respect copyright.PENANAqBvdJ8wzPj
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAoGmNQ0I8rD
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."702Please respect copyright.PENANAr1YgmgTPTq
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.702Please respect copyright.PENANAZDgVuyOt3B
"It's good you came to 702Please respect copyright.PENANA1x6koBPjMD
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAfAAdIJyIT1
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAur70qFPQ4k
couch.702Please respect copyright.PENANAXvlSCwZDCM
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"702Please respect copyright.PENANAhl4Ffzt5j0
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"702Please respect copyright.PENANAzUkvuN8W8Z
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAnb1fAn5MJB
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAub3l6UoD9q
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.702Please respect copyright.PENANAiRBeu58UUZ
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.702Please respect copyright.PENANA7vv2kOaxGj
I tugged at my panda's 702Please respect copyright.PENANAQxOrH06H5S
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it702Please respect copyright.PENANAP2EAiuy7J1
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking702Please respect copyright.PENANAYyvvnixVPI
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.702Please respect copyright.PENANAR8KIc0hcWX
The Toxins came back to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAeMiEwz8mLv
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held702Please respect copyright.PENANAnMgqyslDtN
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine702Please respect copyright.PENANAu9O6G3e5eJ
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.702Please respect copyright.PENANAFdn6HNHsAT
For a moment, no one 702Please respect copyright.PENANAbwnNGETSfJ
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 702Please respect copyright.PENANAqWWXVgUxix
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.702Please respect copyright.PENANAu0bLTstTIF
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.702Please respect copyright.PENANASr4jASCUxi
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 702Please respect copyright.PENANA9aG08LLveQ
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJUJtpFpjpM
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."702Please respect copyright.PENANA6EUvnuEgq6
I stared up at the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAEJWvpnUD5B
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 702Please respect copyright.PENANA4DikByisii
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.702Please respect copyright.PENANA6RbIUSQn9e
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."702Please respect copyright.PENANAjReeUwfh3F
When Zoey tried to reach702Please respect copyright.PENANAzHOO9w1Uel
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAGJZkzjjXJ1
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.702Please respect copyright.PENANAiGVgojsDVx
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.702Please respect copyright.PENANAQL8aHtAGrZ
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.702Please respect copyright.PENANAU2bNHAebZI
Zoey looked hurt with 702Please respect copyright.PENANAUWflFXwVzo
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 702Please respect copyright.PENANALfKLJslYl4
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.702Please respect copyright.PENANAUEd4dH11vL
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAEfPRsyepXs
I didn't answer as I put702Please respect copyright.PENANAZB4qV9JJql
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I702Please respect copyright.PENANAYpS13wvI5q
was still mad, especially at Zoey.702Please respect copyright.PENANA5TCTQswQ3x
"I know it's a little 702Please respect copyright.PENANAnr15pJGMfN
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 702Please respect copyright.PENANAGAD7ZMoDzk
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 702Please respect copyright.PENANAXCzBxs4Nm3
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 702Please respect copyright.PENANAwwdj4bYM18
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAdLCTmrQo7u
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 702Please respect copyright.PENANAoMwFzZ7Xi3
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."702Please respect copyright.PENANARyFUT7sQ97
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.702Please respect copyright.PENANAtrCC0yhJmE
"I don't like it when 702Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ281LMnv7
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 702Please respect copyright.PENANAADbcDhwpy6
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 702Please respect copyright.PENANAhddghp7QEO
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 702Please respect copyright.PENANA9HIPEPl6Wr
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 702Please respect copyright.PENANAadooLLPy2n
sorry, Sam."702Please respect copyright.PENANAtRglqE4nLI
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."702Please respect copyright.PENANAdQcR96tutJ
"I'm sorry too," said 702Please respect copyright.PENANAuaN0JEJjYj
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 702Please respect copyright.PENANAN5zyPldSR1
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 702Please respect copyright.PENANA7CtJXQyRxR
for you to talk to us again."702Please respect copyright.PENANASbLd78fKEN
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 702Please respect copyright.PENANA145Mw8J0Ld
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 702Please respect copyright.PENANAzjtX08hTNU
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 702Please respect copyright.PENANAGeQjXq4kkH
leader."702Please respect copyright.PENANA8rfiCsDKBR
I still didn't say a 702Please respect copyright.PENANAAfnCdNlJwq
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAgqMwvkZ8S3
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 702Please respect copyright.PENANA2qKq4WIp11
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 702Please respect copyright.PENANAEWe7AO1XjV
them despite the awful things they put me through.702Please respect copyright.PENANAzGHUnlpHMj
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 702Please respect copyright.PENANACAu9oDIJiS
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."702Please respect copyright.PENANACBNW9SFX5Q
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.702Please respect copyright.PENANAbuCoEOjqjQ
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.702Please respect copyright.PENANAGCcu1yXyC3
"I'm mad and pretty much702Please respect copyright.PENANAMfUYoHuYQH
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 702Please respect copyright.PENANA6ArA2OvL66
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."702Please respect copyright.PENANAHSZKvY0M0F
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAPjXGgMazIz
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."702Please respect copyright.PENANAOrcipLi9F1
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAG3y5QeSscq
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 702Please respect copyright.PENANAHiXRF6od8v
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZjWeaATC33
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."702Please respect copyright.PENANABZXauQO2jY
"Ah, you! Always acting 702Please respect copyright.PENANADjYfVwus2h
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 702Please respect copyright.PENANAGYFCE1wfc1
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZBp0PpMEqG
catch it anyway."702Please respect copyright.PENANAflDkoZJMaX
Christine, Daniel and 702Please respect copyright.PENANApOoIAse7Ik
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAJWmN2a56vr
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAWiZZoA7VXi
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.702Please respect copyright.PENANAUEZud1Sb8R
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.702Please respect copyright.PENANAFUf9vGmdDE
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.702Please respect copyright.PENANAlRnULs3IGG
"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...."702Please respect copyright.PENANAydQ3GByHKr
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.702Please respect copyright.PENANAlYaLvr5NEA
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."702Please respect copyright.PENANAEl5VnqD4ic
"Don't worry, you won't 702Please respect copyright.PENANAipuk7XiqEw
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 702Please respect copyright.PENANADr5nIM1tVg
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.702Please respect copyright.PENANACN2k1hU5pl
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.702Please respect copyright.PENANAclKhg0VG7v
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.702Please respect copyright.PENANAd5Gm5DY3og
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA0hqFQxdGAv
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."702Please respect copyright.PENANALAmBaJlGB6
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.702Please respect copyright.PENANAnvPrsudl7D
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 702Please respect copyright.PENANA2tfep9ez5v
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAtwLDGrtY5H
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."702Please respect copyright.PENANAyseu4BE5Lz
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJQEYCsnDhe
At that moment, I had 702Please respect copyright.PENANAMtkTQnE06t
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.702Please respect copyright.PENANAsR06WTwtZv
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.702Please respect copyright.PENANA3ar0Ain8uO
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAIVeq37q2DG
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.702Please respect copyright.PENANAHYz7z03ahN
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."702Please respect copyright.PENANAxXBSKvGu2f
Zoey got the box of 702Please respect copyright.PENANARv85TUdSKW
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAOriAKkyvbK
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.702Please respect copyright.PENANA0z0vYmqcTP
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.702Please respect copyright.PENANAxd7NTAYwxh
I was in the passage as I702Please respect copyright.PENANAnnyGFSwJj5
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 702Please respect copyright.PENANAXhIwORC2Z3
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed702Please respect copyright.PENANA9z3dqUWR5q
in what felt like sadness.702Please respect copyright.PENANA9z8f1bo8sM
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAU7UYUmUXBl
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."702Please respect copyright.PENANAHgbnuJk0nu
I heard his footsteps 702Please respect copyright.PENANA8WzLWxS34R
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYmgw1Pncf9
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.702Please respect copyright.PENANAaqwh98JC1F
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAhFmntmaajC
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAWAb4GqwGdl
"Are we really do this right now?"702Please respect copyright.PENANASOe5L0wIo9
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 702Please respect copyright.PENANAWpOc9O8Ujd
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.702Please respect copyright.PENANA990VDADBxl
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAUAMYNWKiU1
"Nope." 702Please respect copyright.PENANAeS5Q4xtxGR
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."702Please respect copyright.PENANA20rLuSW0Eq
My eyes almost felt like702Please respect copyright.PENANA8mJrojQl2E
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYjHAHmoV9G
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJoA7qHYOmO
I turned to look at him 702Please respect copyright.PENANAMplZjDIDVA
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 702Please respect copyright.PENANAPuXlXZDzDk
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.702Please respect copyright.PENANAezH9TEticv
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.702Please respect copyright.PENANAjHODHlykB7
"That you're surrounded 702Please respect copyright.PENANAKXaZ4NE8Iq
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 702Please respect copyright.PENANAeP0yRTY2uC
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 702Please respect copyright.PENANArAanesckfZ
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."702Please respect copyright.PENANArUprdFxWs8
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 702Please respect copyright.PENANAaBtrCIWjkL
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."702Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ2mYJM9Gb
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAe2cFnQZFOX
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."702Please respect copyright.PENANATNfhzVZgOQ
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."702Please respect copyright.PENANAox5UgEBc26
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAar3A7Y1Uwx
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."702Please respect copyright.PENANAcv6JlRO7mn
Apparently, I couldn't 702Please respect copyright.PENANAfVRLFtQvhu
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAmsg59DQIUt
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 702Please respect copyright.PENANARvTzjnCyKP
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYq8yF2UNco
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAUoaVPR415b
death.702Please respect copyright.PENANANobDIQY0sD
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.702Please respect copyright.PENANAISTXLBNyTM
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."702Please respect copyright.PENANAZwknKxXmtv
Taeyang folded his arms 702Please respect copyright.PENANAX1LHnLWefF
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think702Please respect copyright.PENANAZP0RvwHB6i
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."702Please respect copyright.PENANAq3wNgcHRYq
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.702Please respect copyright.PENANA5DlHC35T1M
"You're may think you're702Please respect copyright.PENANAPyBCDJ7TwO
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 702Please respect copyright.PENANAtsRxgoOIDl
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 702Please respect copyright.PENANAI6p6xbhrEg
but feeling hurt."702Please respect copyright.PENANA5LIyYGUpSY
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.702Please respect copyright.PENANAEOIXoIu0Re
"But I wouldn't feel 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZxv5GuP05w
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 702Please respect copyright.PENANAMkGv9AXTCE
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 702Please respect copyright.PENANAclSiF3C7KE
at Taeyang.702Please respect copyright.PENANAysyZ2w38sY
Taeyang gave me that 702Please respect copyright.PENANAsQralELJTQ
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 702Please respect copyright.PENANAs6lU3kviDP
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 702Please respect copyright.PENANAbRkJyhXcnJ
while in return, he nodded.702Please respect copyright.PENANAFoWUsNlixr
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAilKm4qPTDk
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."702Please respect copyright.PENANAwbPHVKlr7r
I didn't say a word as I702Please respect copyright.PENANALbMmtHBPz6
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my702Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5D2SXNNFY
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 702Please respect copyright.PENANAUYTr1oMECB
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 702Please respect copyright.PENANAGb7OFaS8b4
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.702Please respect copyright.PENANAri2gFFo2Du
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."702Please respect copyright.PENANA9SZ97UFbQ7
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."702Please respect copyright.PENANAN4IVAAcuRF
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."702Please respect copyright.PENANARTjuT2BQZG
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAn998Vz9xOQ
If there was ever a way I702Please respect copyright.PENANAAB459F1xqT
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 702Please respect copyright.PENANAD1MSeZXmOC
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 702Please respect copyright.PENANAtalePkL63o
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.702Please respect copyright.PENANAy9ewdlpbc3
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAfNS5FN4yhU
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 702Please respect copyright.PENANADc5Qzoz6GD
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.702Please respect copyright.PENANAOWFRKihRpC
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.702Please respect copyright.PENANAyq3Kq2ZsNu
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAeWsXytyiHm
"Well, I'm just asking,"702Please respect copyright.PENANAPoPnescyQg
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,702Please respect copyright.PENANApps27AOlmX
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."702Please respect copyright.PENANAbrEnh0zTHJ
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.702Please respect copyright.PENANABxSMgKeYgq
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.702Please respect copyright.PENANASqc9G2G1C0
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.702Please respect copyright.PENANAvJZaL0ZYRE
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.702Please respect copyright.PENANAUtCyAD7iom
I pressed the button 702Please respect copyright.PENANAjqvxvWMr23
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 702Please respect copyright.PENANAWylEel6nxF
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 702Please respect copyright.PENANA5yp3NssLVC
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.702Please respect copyright.PENANA4vOBvek7en
We went to the main 702Please respect copyright.PENANAnaJ5WFSpNV
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for702Please respect copyright.PENANAnuIgjI8xuv
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 702Please respect copyright.PENANA33RXGEw0hG
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.702Please respect copyright.PENANAi0D0caPSvv
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.702Please respect copyright.PENANAZmLzUHyGMj
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 702Please respect copyright.PENANApaL4bzi5qy
"To be honest, we just 702Please respect copyright.PENANAF7TLsGtTzd
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAHvmK9eD1Tz
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."702Please respect copyright.PENANAbzHnpoIpyN
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.702Please respect copyright.PENANAcojVTqnstz
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.702Please respect copyright.PENANAU5uKi2rKi7
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.702Please respect copyright.PENANA3j4sSPNdwa
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.702Please respect copyright.PENANA4G3Ye1ujfB
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.702Please respect copyright.PENANAuqs1YsPlxU
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAvTE3NIsGJi
"Nah, I don't think so,"702Please respect copyright.PENANAR160zE96Ww
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so702Please respect copyright.PENANANzATfDRYdP
he would be treating me like that."702Please respect copyright.PENANAbjY51raxee
"Mmm, I don't think so,"702Please respect copyright.PENANAjDEKYKQUv8
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 702Please respect copyright.PENANAj8q5elmuNI
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"702Please respect copyright.PENANARTZI6nsbbu
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."702Please respect copyright.PENANAudxsAqHeEG
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJoqbLFEhBz
"Then, stop trying to make one."702Please respect copyright.PENANARu6tO7vqmN
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."702Please respect copyright.PENANAJKg4DyQYOD
"Ya, me too," said Mike.702Please respect copyright.PENANA4suHp8yyz0
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.702Please respect copyright.PENANAAVUbHjAsyE
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAdUjGWdMl6k
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.702Please respect copyright.PENANAvofXKO93cZ
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."702Please respect copyright.PENANAgo7vcOihB2
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAdrzTKvCfiA
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.702Please respect copyright.PENANAIzIiUKT5nz
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."702Please respect copyright.PENANAsLsQlXloaA
I didn't even dare try 702Please respect copyright.PENANAb2AUrNZSkO
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 702Please respect copyright.PENANA7QPGnmgFme
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.702Please respect copyright.PENANAfUZCW7bt1h
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 702Please respect copyright.PENANA0g16wKuJGV
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAEQXczoxEc0
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.702Please respect copyright.PENANAKLcpaExP3j
I heard footsteps coming702Please respect copyright.PENANABfEuL3Sjrk
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 702Please respect copyright.PENANAO5QTpWrylf
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 702Please respect copyright.PENANA69mOxgbIxM
look at me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAsVxAHhqZh1
"Are you okay?" he whispered.702Please respect copyright.PENANAtx0tWxwnB2
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.702Please respect copyright.PENANArf7eyssY8H
I soon felt strong hands702Please respect copyright.PENANACZKbYY5Gan
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD702Please respect copyright.PENANA1kecrv5jgH
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.702Please respect copyright.PENANAzzUY8EQHjg
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA3SC7CxqoD7
"I'm a whole lot better,702Please respect copyright.PENANA4ipiLJ21hc
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 702Please respect copyright.PENANAsRCPZT9PHd
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJxFhG0QppG
"Glad to hear that."702Please respect copyright.PENANANa7kP1SMD6
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.702Please respect copyright.PENANAn88v6JJRzN
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."702Please respect copyright.PENANAFvz0viGYtf
I was planning not to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAvvzOaP8S0K
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 702Please respect copyright.PENANAAhZ17Vm2BQ
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 702Please respect copyright.PENANAMNal8p7oly
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to702Please respect copyright.PENANATLSKmgCnOF
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 702Please respect copyright.PENANAJMkhaQIfoQ
under the bridge.702Please respect copyright.PENANAEhVZNPUekO
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."702Please respect copyright.PENANAqM6QfGOA1R
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAIWBlkai7v8
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."702Please respect copyright.PENANA67gdlAAEbP
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."702Please respect copyright.PENANASm96wOBrB2
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.702Please respect copyright.PENANAODwkL1UdtR
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.702Please respect copyright.PENANAHELmQbQLht
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAm2qjESx8Yk
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."702Please respect copyright.PENANAStoFq7DjCj
The waiters soon came 702Please respect copyright.PENANAPiZqbPfnp3
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.702Please respect copyright.PENANABgqvwyiYTj
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 702Please respect copyright.PENANANdOLpjCdiS
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 702Please respect copyright.PENANArYI1anC2Lh
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.702Please respect copyright.PENANASIrCvD2IpU
For a moment, I felt 702Please respect copyright.PENANAUsUuNh8qOW
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 702Please respect copyright.PENANA6VyyWyvU21
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 702Please respect copyright.PENANAJImTmXooLa
me to forget that I was ever mad.702Please respect copyright.PENANAO24ON231nu
"Mmm, this is so 702Please respect copyright.PENANAHfPcKEvASn
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 702Please respect copyright.PENANAhC52V1NVAy
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."702Please respect copyright.PENANAQGa0weB9uW
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."702Please respect copyright.PENANAUDB2nbQdCf
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."702Please respect copyright.PENANAFe69vdJviB
"Anything for you, Sam,"702Please respect copyright.PENANApq5EfQC70A
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 702Please respect copyright.PENANAEqtskioWht
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."702Please respect copyright.PENANA9nuZv9aC48
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAckZ49sykwd
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.702Please respect copyright.PENANAouMNdALnkX
I had just taken in some702Please respect copyright.PENANAdW9UBxt6mQ
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 702Please respect copyright.PENANAXeINa1lfCR
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly702Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5pWq7hRz6
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 702Please respect copyright.PENANA2fAUZTAe0n
just said.702Please respect copyright.PENANA2MItmiNV3s
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAxIKkX58MGh
"Well, ya," Christine 702Please respect copyright.PENANADS3AfNJxG0
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 702Please respect copyright.PENANAT7KeDewFwu
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 702Please respect copyright.PENANARnfb8mLX6D
special lunch to lighten your mood."702Please respect copyright.PENANAWqQq0sPrEG
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJtoXy4jzja
"Thanks for the lunch, 702Please respect copyright.PENANA93b0OWbqLX
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so702Please respect copyright.PENANAZ45iD9xVZr
sweet of you to have come up with this."702Please respect copyright.PENANAy3koTrR3uX
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAev13CkaFAo
I almost felt like 702Please respect copyright.PENANAdwMjQ5AL2Z
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 702Please respect copyright.PENANAWTDDntoLNh
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare702Please respect copyright.PENANAWGx8HQwTnM
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 702Please respect copyright.PENANA1moWv0rV9e
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 702Please respect copyright.PENANAnHfKEx8mtN
turning into rage?702Please respect copyright.PENANAzDO6wgX1AE
Oh, goodness. I needed 702Please respect copyright.PENANABnwKbreMao
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAddU1KcJl50
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 702Please respect copyright.PENANAztFDBkpK0A
I tried to push aside 702Please respect copyright.PENANApK0Xzmfzsg
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 702Please respect copyright.PENANAHHem7lVehq
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 702Please respect copyright.PENANAM9tdH4KlO8
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 702Please respect copyright.PENANAW2i7Kn8z3G
chocolate moussé.702Please respect copyright.PENANAi2wpqZCOKq
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,702Please respect copyright.PENANAp2ylVS3xqB
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 702Please respect copyright.PENANAoH1SbYCUgL
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8tRB8Riev
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.702Please respect copyright.PENANA09ICgT94XW
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."702Please respect copyright.PENANAxjPnKhJmIh
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.702Please respect copyright.PENANATgc5VZbArq
I didn't wait for 702Please respect copyright.PENANAtFfVnOdOfJ
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I702Please respect copyright.PENANAO5wqp0s3tS
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed702Please respect copyright.PENANAvmS4i4RkMs
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 702Please respect copyright.PENANA94dm4ZItEL
heaven.702Please respect copyright.PENANAfF6UDvoqQm
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.702Please respect copyright.PENANAYhPhnPZsOa
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."702Please respect copyright.PENANAah1nrYn1lw
"I don't care," I said 702Please respect copyright.PENANAjQeIbbwdxi
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 702Please respect copyright.PENANANpIjjSBomX
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."702Please respect copyright.PENANAgdpCQ2uGLc
G-Dragon smiled back at 702Please respect copyright.PENANA1CPQiK2v9Z
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 702Please respect copyright.PENANA4SkloGIzza
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 702Please respect copyright.PENANAf98JsY4xfe
away.702Please respect copyright.PENANA6CKQSN6xny
After dessert, we all 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYUAbk5ZPS6
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 702Please respect copyright.PENANA7KcRYaVUjK
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 702Please respect copyright.PENANA18WoCsXzO3
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 702Please respect copyright.PENANACedsaDk4cx
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 702Please respect copyright.PENANA6HxWxmQv0f
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 702Please respect copyright.PENANAdCe3CHvY86
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.702Please respect copyright.PENANA2dgtGcYtwB
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAN5vGGv4ihy
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.702Please respect copyright.PENANAiyRX5Yt92T
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."702Please respect copyright.PENANAYEufwJ3tlX
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.702Please respect copyright.PENANAzkezg1YOsn
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."702Please respect copyright.PENANA4WgcvxGjMp
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."702Please respect copyright.PENANAisHrhTekL0
"What stuff?" TOP asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAcEMn8yk1No
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAsOIekkcbwl
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."702Please respect copyright.PENANAZGG0m1JBrH
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.702Please respect copyright.PENANAFigyjkx5cW
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.702Please respect copyright.PENANA2hoXsbnNHN
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.702Please respect copyright.PENANAwkX1fjGlxl
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.702Please respect copyright.PENANAyHSokFzLLf
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."702Please respect copyright.PENANASEWsSaaqjj
"Wait, what's going on?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA3dv9iR28Rz
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 702Please respect copyright.PENANADtUE6rm6py
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAclGQjUr1Fx
"I thought we should all702Please respect copyright.PENANA5u5Gs9Iw4M
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 702Please respect copyright.PENANAzt1FoZnt55
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."702Please respect copyright.PENANAJHAq80obcz
"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.702Please respect copyright.PENANAj8V721zDJ8
"I don't know, I feel we702Please respect copyright.PENANAPxdIbDMtPw
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.702Please respect copyright.PENANAog6lAlEDyk
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out702Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ibm4PgeBY
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."702Please respect copyright.PENANAiTMbv4ZST2
"I don't get it though,"702Please respect copyright.PENANABg1B5dvzMx
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 702Please respect copyright.PENANAQGQWqEoMac
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write702Please respect copyright.PENANAF1AZPX8jKQ
the lyrics?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAAZXU5LYSJB
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.702Please respect copyright.PENANA3D4h0roKWM
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAp11A32IMwB
This time, I also raised702Please respect copyright.PENANAaQTPyKpLOe
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 702Please respect copyright.PENANASboqnDbV4V
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.702Please respect copyright.PENANAqjfV7466vg
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAxCFHt3ISK7
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.702Please respect copyright.PENANAclmp0WZUls
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.702Please respect copyright.PENANAsjpmlDi9i2
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sazr8Kz5V
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."702Please respect copyright.PENANAWSD1QnKTUl
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA4bpydoRner
By the way G-Dragon 702Please respect copyright.PENANAiQzjPTIv52
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAduCbr2J4wr
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And702Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZAej10lOt
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of702Please respect copyright.PENANAXu6AXtVTdu
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.702Please respect copyright.PENANAIgzVPmDxWd
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."702Please respect copyright.PENANAAnV9HuXUGa
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAEc2X62zTZO
"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."702Please respect copyright.PENANAkZznPlGCgM
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.702Please respect copyright.PENANAke1Az04ulJ
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAonajzozyVh
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.702Please respect copyright.PENANANswoxN3ND1
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."702Please respect copyright.PENANAcpyZ2p5fKb
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."702Please respect copyright.PENANA2gSUfcbrCH
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."702Please respect copyright.PENANAhmnqtrc1se
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."702Please respect copyright.PENANAPEVd3dD0YX
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."702Please respect copyright.PENANAECJgcAp4Vb
"What truth?" I asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANASlnHTADyno
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."702Please respect copyright.PENANANfX1zdztvp
Taeyang was right. I was702Please respect copyright.PENANAuSMXYPLRJJ
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 702Please respect copyright.PENANAdR83DScGaR
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 702Please respect copyright.PENANAE22GWmUFcd
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 702Please respect copyright.PENANApGOIngj5c1
attention.702Please respect copyright.PENANAaMmjCigZLR
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."702Please respect copyright.PENANAmAjfhzGQzx
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."702Please respect copyright.PENANATB0qQZh894
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel702Please respect copyright.PENANAzEDmd4lozm
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 702Please respect copyright.PENANAshVTbtlj7a
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!702Please respect copyright.PENANAbJruawAGKj
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.702Please respect copyright.PENANAVntrPU0iVe
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.702Please respect copyright.PENANAjmG9nncUJv
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.702Please respect copyright.PENANAOfzeXKlWdz
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.702Please respect copyright.PENANArbSwQx8erx
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.702Please respect copyright.PENANA1HdANBSHw0
"But I....." 702Please respect copyright.PENANAMssTpRVcBy
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 702Please respect copyright.PENANAQBdviflTAP
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've702Please respect copyright.PENANAotTGmTjkzj
talked way too much, don't you think?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAr0BE8ndxfG
That felt like a slap in702Please respect copyright.PENANAspHejFRwfB
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 702Please respect copyright.PENANAlwDaCq1AMq
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 702Please respect copyright.PENANAFf9ucMPsoI
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 702Please respect copyright.PENANAMWGm5k6dup
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 702Please respect copyright.PENANAJBoP9H5eKF
about what I thought was best for the whole group?702Please respect copyright.PENANAOBHBhx6ZGO
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.702Please respect copyright.PENANAFnF888O3dc
"That's fine with me," said Mike.702Please respect copyright.PENANAAQOUZ0PDGZ
Everyone else agreed, 702Please respect copyright.PENANA9cfVqGgLnm
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 702Please respect copyright.PENANABri6wwBXPE
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 702Please respect copyright.PENANADflaXbzI0t
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 702Please respect copyright.PENANAlPJ5jziWpZ
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 702Please respect copyright.PENANAt4ptDc477B
B, just in case.702Please respect copyright.PENANABAKe68llKl
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.702Please respect copyright.PENANAAFAWpYrOV3
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.702Please respect copyright.PENANAgdYBk8WLh6
"Not now, Sam. We will 702Please respect copyright.PENANA75pSq5nBIb
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 702Please respect copyright.PENANAz5KkN8neBM
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 702Please respect copyright.PENANAqwH6hJn3WW
gave me goosebumps.702Please respect copyright.PENANAdy21Wg5rdT
"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."702Please respect copyright.PENANAjmAYCP8wts
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAdfY7sDut0E
One by one everyone 702Please respect copyright.PENANAKOGuD3eXiV
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 702Please respect copyright.PENANABkV5xQLPOp
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem702Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5e6NA6zbq
appropriate.702Please respect copyright.PENANAoXt1mfLfGI
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.702Please respect copyright.PENANAW9yi2ynBox
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANA3foeuuivlG
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.702Please respect copyright.PENANAbEsblBwF2T
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.702Please respect copyright.PENANAf0yshT4CDd
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."702Please respect copyright.PENANAYg5FdE4tms
"It's not that. I pissed702Please respect copyright.PENANAmNuQrYMG76
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take702Please respect copyright.PENANA7xtfT1atpL
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."702Please respect copyright.PENANAiOGmcUcFrB
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."702Please respect copyright.PENANAkssOmPVK1h
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."702Please respect copyright.PENANAtEVkbMZn5O
Taeyang placed his hand 702Please respect copyright.PENANAdK9guriKJz
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He702Please respect copyright.PENANAgpE6byaim4
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.702Please respect copyright.PENANAecVEd6U20J
I knew I had to hope for702Please respect copyright.PENANAzQS5rZfhhh
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut702Please respect copyright.PENANAE50CUSqvCW
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 702Please respect copyright.PENANAmIQ1rCGeFt
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 702Please respect copyright.PENANAplRKEQJoLt
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 702Please respect copyright.PENANAyLydXzVlLr
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
