Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 15: Fire At YG

My body ached all over 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36bIVcZUHx
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAHA4bo0oc
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitq2IjAeSP
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX54M4bGqH
bed.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyeNMqnU04

I scratched my head as I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw7zdvmExS
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobNziLFYDQ
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1xX9TbRtQ
he found me here.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2FFhHOII1

I slowly stood up and I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ba2TQV0Jg
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIenX941fpu
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r4BS17r0t
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjDGaLrmls

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC1YiXtysq

I almost jumped in 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU8ozSiUp2
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8X2cGcYhh
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXvnEDQwcV
obviously reading the news online.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv838o4T8pA

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q0VtstWoa

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxGMK47WWa

"'Don't tire yourself 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIpIOQ57ZJ
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqgdonqvqU
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyGsYSNtZK

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbV2SOuZlG

"Oh, you were listening?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3Sm3dCxE7

"Ya, you kept on playing1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcClpWH3TM
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq0TcXhR8k
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdE257P6W6

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ730tPHtUgF

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraNT7DyYjO

"For covering me with a blanket."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHHxiT4WEJ

Collins looked at me 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wJDElvYj3
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWPbFLteUI
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaxunz6GBu

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP0UGzCZPI

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbQUaXAbTW

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB9ACUkDv4

"Me too."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Nd9AYoco

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FYa07Q763

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIChwrf69DP

"Going to take a shower," I said.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysyCnEImxK

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcsTBFnuHp

After I freshened myself1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wrW0lETUf
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFreOo7kAG
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM7yZguxYa
Collins was still on his tablet.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohqjNs8xYs

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPqIlAKLvd

"Nope. Just looking at 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAmvyz50AT
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGxdWsxLKN
coming back late at night with the others."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9302Cvq7nS

"Are they having a good time?" I got a slice of bread that laid on the middle of the table and was applying marmalade on it.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQMBP2srUv

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqL55M7ppf

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3gFZcBo7u

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6B4wC7yA7

Collins handed his 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvwRNIRIFL
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNudGAKxt2
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviDAz79VIO
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLbZXC93U2
having a great time.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyN7rvJJUz

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YN2ydBUat

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UWYwqO1Tp

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fw0pwsHpN

"They should have as 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPkujUFRFD
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzitY3ZWtQF
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1y2tGz1Cs

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lkBeF5eX9

"No, it's not about the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFW3M5HgYF
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqv5AtepI5
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj090QnZMQV

I looked at Lee who sat 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H1fZ0yJyn
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uz4q8fhsd
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxNZmHnqRN
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooPpGaTIIO

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG2HfZq1pg

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwY2xT2SBp

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx642SJ7n1d

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIErrCNRk2

"If I tell you, I'll 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETYDUBo4ck
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywGHzP8QrL
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0R6nrBfAL

Collins got up from his 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUGYNbIJlk
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hyAgMglk0
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfikNvrljAS
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYol2x320s

"What do you know?" I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8pLuz97Zj
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEI0JOf7Ml
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWnJAmc2Zg
detective asking questions to a criminal.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhlSYTpjUm

"I don't know," Lee 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQnJLFOJ1E
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEX0sruUZe
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsEywJm7q8

I knew something was up 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtR0VVJwOl
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmdFKsay7X
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eiuDfWmaT

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMJ8wNLbBT

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun8ALACK1c

"Well, hopefully." I blew out a puff of air and shook my head as I thought of what happened to G-Dragon and I yesterday.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooFvSPGM5e

"Hey, what's wrong?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oeilADkjw

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXaziFCatk

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF1MPu2Fus

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Px7VoKJGq

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXyBouPhfg

"Well, kind of," I said 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ7M4P6phz
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Wgyk1L1Z
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAli6HdQzsI

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQofxRlQLG

"Okay."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvRNtFASoC

I was just done eating my breakfast when Collins came to tell us that it was time to go. I carried the guitar and my notebook.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3AD4QpbvY

Lee, Collins and I soon 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFozyR8kpX
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHszF02fdKK
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPSzfyU26R
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76c1rmr95Z
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZwmSI4GMB
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBABj0pHBjU

I was waiting in th 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOzJPWQAvJ
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fHE7vHlyo
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNuPIiVNW8
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGon10vEDsk
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QHOr1wdyS

I was pacing up and down1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTTqCZi01I
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojDK5Kqjtv
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkShx4cqrn
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzAnzmCGzJ
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitlNJ7HZCO
and I was so nervous.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEOE0u1ih7

"Here she is," said Lee,1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHCd5Ylgyx
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs85wa99O6
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVNvNg1rL7
you, Tae."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPJFQOInoZ

I frowned at Lee and I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDQRpAFm9b
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjeV0UqedB
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn6gVLHg4A
friend.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1K664fyy7

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTlMCF2ivj

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zriz498zt

"I told Taeyang that I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM8K3vuiTn
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafWWhqHUMj
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1r1wGqYii

"Our manager called me 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkioI4qANq
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNymMpe5kjk
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnccpZ1ItKe
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkrJgiUvpd

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JrXIYIPuy

"I'll go and check on the managers and see what's taking them so long," said Lee as she started to head out of the room.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb4fvFQH8X

I wanted to call out to her and tell her to let it be. I didn't want our managers here just yet. But she had already left.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt8Aj4r0DW

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy0GDKS4Kw

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEluM9NRCs

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqgZxiKoBB

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgQKoYyek7

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmhoVCBRK4

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEY3pIT8RM

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZzaL6KJR3

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKrT11UHFt

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjVCPyYhMP

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qP0QzNlqX

"Sure."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIDQ8c7ifW

I gave Taeyang my 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOQdWSLrpT
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzkUHkNQU0
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KYKmK7H9K
cute together.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DGywzqaqH

"I can't wait for you to sing the song for us," said Hyo-rin as she looked at me. "The lyrics sound really good."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ825AbHkmq7

"Thanks. I was singing 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHradeosHT
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAghbftYEDl
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEmZb45srt
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2awROUHcq

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1XeNUVItj

"Well...not really," I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wmdo2Ryhc
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z5kyT0EQp
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAYF3JC8ke

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxxG19mnWB

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbnEokocVf

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4GXOKCvO0

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqZU2dOtmM

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2f4Yc6eko

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1aLfCdJHC

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡituDLXm0IJ

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpC7REEJwW

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05NpwaRiOn

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK6qA7dbAp

"Right now."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0l28WhRuz

We all turned towards 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGJw7vZf5W
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR1sEbR5QS
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1BBFQst8a

When everyone got 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxtqdtivck
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqRJGNybG5
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThGNRDUvjK
run out of the room.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1y2DHWLZy

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL9FOEOAeS

I nodded my head and my 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnXajxWes8
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUWO1LOkrb
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0wSiZbqgl
ever got to play it.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2b8wbUdEC

I felt a break of sweat 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6nZuouO4R
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdouDIFpL00
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKULDQ2UUta
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I2bA2JaJ6
strung the strings on the guitar.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePrAYjsv6B

I started to sing as I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZJqmoG7Mv
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO5HlE7BTF
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYGJ5NLV6j
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCFPCJ8v0U
didn't. Well, I hope so.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXajaL1i8M

As soon as I was done 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKfE7Fefps
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cMJIdlldu
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof1Jh3snaI
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHtmIQ8Dx1
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzPbJ4xMDj
hoped they liked it.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWWPYVt803

The studio was still 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwYcnD4n52
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ682lfF0RvV
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJNd7iqAJZ
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M2GBechq2

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWLSP7KQqT
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIhOlbdYFK
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR3fYydOZn

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCvSm0T41S

This was it. The hammer 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2UCpDgNfI
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz0EwSylCA
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rWRJgB2TK

"....incredible."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9oJxo8Bm5

I opened my eyes and I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bz7m7xLA3
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJHMeogmdx
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswWnqpQxET
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmvY8vvDBd
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnGz4JvQUe

"I've to admit, when 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSVni04EVn
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ166xMQJgIP
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIrQeZTQKi

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qEYSpBFJo

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrz2ri9R2e

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWLnmDPmLS

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM52149FWQ

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPL5nkUx4l

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pHWMYqvT0

I couldn't stop smiling 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5HdbjQdR0
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvfuT20thW
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuv2oQRgwv
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQn7B37S9R
good voice and a golden one.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWjIsWe9JZ

Immediately our managers1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleoCyTCFHI
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPxPv9WPj2
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus2I3kExCw
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAxUYz0kYT
musical instruments.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnIkGG68V1

This was always the hard1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6irw8bMJy
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgzvoxR8q2
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZZIogRYa4
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF9RPqCXdw
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbC6Ca6Jeu

An hour had passed and I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh98W8MUPBg
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWZCJonc4T
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aKtdpg3qp
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrN0Q98fnh
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpe2soNsZw
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhSjxTDeSS

"It's been an hour and I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qfKceJmP7
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTLmmt5QBV
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cKuw9zDJh

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTYZcZtFxh

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmQEYHpc9l

"Trust me, you're so 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcI3j25ntT
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSkZiKkkbu
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZhRJh4me6

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54m2vgHeNE

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0yQawdoOo

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxksfqazuw4

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvyyevb5IF

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB95NvXx9A2

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkXiMPCiwX

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN2UayG0qu

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dlbRxdGIz
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1OX9o7Oni
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3bLh3HfoK
masseur."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWCfC85BZD

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPvjUtSrS9

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz1BxW1sDk

The music producer soon 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7KTr6xKc9
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReUAaUrdfJ
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5MSh01UQd
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp2Jp3O6Ye
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIrDhnlrmi
recording the track.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jG1QiJlBG

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIuPijH0XV

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxtR3BoNXt

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQJxqeJ8Du

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXs09AQ2wS

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHDi7N0heR

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOICdA2iXRC

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhQKxErVnJ
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AKJlMEsfM
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE1evMeFDq

"Let me guess, you're 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz2fYcp3BV
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECphQTxYLy
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWG1uBRAEB

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLcDkqc1JM

Something told me his 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E8DOVnP3j
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6gpcD4z2I
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTLz6golQW
always does.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwskn5W6HDm

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9naSWFL3e

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Xy2x15GR

It was late in the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0YoammFoH
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN93hqWmI8
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp27k4Qz2c
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDHX31EEpm
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb55Xj8h4NU

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9MtpwfW7e

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQWMAxwC9G

I looked beside him and I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0lFzCaXlm
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WFH51zgmu
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzf14Zprgt
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtioy3d8dn3
leaning my head on the console.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTC4b6ZdI9

"I always hate this part1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYWkQ7rslp
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFctfNFGdPA
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1o2B12DeX
console.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs4GrxIKs4

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgX3JiDQOj

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfblfcKdIQ

"I wonder what time."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ8J7s4kfV

"Wait." I pushed my head1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRSuT5zZW7
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYGD8Fqy7S
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDx9gluEl3
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Ay5o44Ch

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQI3foOLyA

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9WOFerTzg

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqoiUOhtGW

"I didn't sleep well 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViRXygik9b
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17J4CB4GTh
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEzCvNuedQ

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScUhrLERjL

"You're right." I soon 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmrmCUSyui
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRMSWmtiGl
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdcpa7G0r7

"He said they might come at nine in the evening," I said when I cut the call. I was so sleepy I felt like I couldn't stand up.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsjcvqlp7K

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIhNCbSCbl

"Alright. Thanks."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i9NiAgqns

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY3Nnnfbbw

"And so will I," said Seungri.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCw9UjYstM

"Guys, it's fine. Taeyang and Hyo-rin will take me," I said with a small smile on my face as I faced Seungri and Daesung.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF9KxbdKNF

Immediately I left the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rb49Geqiu
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75GWmpFrPE
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EBys8N91x

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kOVnXt8AA

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs3pZXD1gN

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJLlw0JL6S

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB5ey5G1MD
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmRMotjG38
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsS58GGjfm

The next thing I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYy2JEuZPZ
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2QHAJZgMZ
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmpHSG0KTP
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ca0RxSniX

I woke up by the sound 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Ja8hRFdN
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdeeQiHYvj
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhhSwA23rH
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMIlwtwTus
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpAqoyLD9E

I reached out for the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1JZqFlp4D
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAexu3WskQ
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxHmChjiHZ
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ndNThqCU

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IVIq0Gyf9

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuv4CDDkX7

"I could hear it ringing1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVYP2GsolE
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr0omkB5bF
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT2KudBOHi

"Thanks," I said as I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKiCw7qkaJ
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ7IrGutJR
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMrtk2RhKl

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8kovd9ths

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnxgUidFmL

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgGaylbzLR

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrddc2dVRH

Lee left the room and I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZdinGYrpr
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Z57U6DjL
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc8nP43YGw

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBzkOFvVwK

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjbNFBAdKT

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4uPlOy2z5

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mf3evkKhZ

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vLGobkUz9

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9DUvrDqpw

I dashed over to the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhopCiJyF6u
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHqxvgkCEB
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZWP9GHXXJ

It was now 10 PM and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHguphrYfp
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zUJRnklzW
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHJEGL444d
they were right now.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPrdLEtQxk

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcWKSTSq8q

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHu5S2SnCD

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPzKqoCwXU

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidd6XZxJtn

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v3IZYRyde

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBUdYJ5jOK

"True."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7YqnWUUbw

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vVSMjGlYO

Two bell boys came out 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZWNUPRJuk
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB1Hz9lVPx
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPAhJrJ45V

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ofXIN1N9E

There were so many gift 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXJjthg674
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiLN1nsU3h
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8K1N82jhE
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqNUWfuR6m
so pissed.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnIHuDD37L

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF52ywcgMvx

"They are downstairs," he answered.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Zk2Fooy5

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZDfaLMCGi

When the doors flew 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBon1iCaHoe
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00yt87uytB
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJLz0Gpgnq
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZZSq8paA6

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2K5rwaEzP

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFjXCSqMOj

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9gQGdWeEw

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BHBKQkD3I

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuEilMOP8O

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aWTlp0kfz

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8SFGgUoH1

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM7lgps5TS

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMTOD4Z07f

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFcEAjIPqh

I raised an eyebrow. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVr1DWNNk1
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52bfx0gAFQ
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3OBz73CwH

"Okay. Enough," I said as I shook off Zoey and Christine away from me. "Can someone please tell me why you're acting like this?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkydqI1cAh

"Everyone just missed 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT15AKLqz3
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFAfzvixhh
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk4fedmAe9

I rolled my eyes at him,1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZPI7W6LXZ
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliHhORXDma
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOqKELoHbW
face when I hugged him.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdoPBXKZsA

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqAI61YZJL

"Wait! You missed TOP 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWGOe2UXVH
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxATeZXAYwP
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgInlMdYE1y

I always loved it when 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w9LqVJRUV
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiypPtbc7pE
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa0lt8r3gW

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDaFGl3nqL

For a moment, that voice1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48uy7AinXz
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB4J69hfDi
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGInsjr0eb
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZInqUOEg5c
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1fichxNs8
he was still acting the same way he had left.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcHQnYAZPF

I was really confused. I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq8TMjzSL9
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6HqU4QPrt
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEfGagYOPM
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38uFm3klQP
personal and it had to do with me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqsYPGpz9l

I had no other choice 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz893gijatp
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85JIvcTF1j
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5zxJIHaje
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIsnj6QpfC

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcllk5FHwQa

By the look on his face,1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQoqXTiQwE
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesbb1fmkno
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJtPLDk6LH
going to end pretty tonight.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CeUQPcM58

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkCQn3OIVJ

"Ya, I did."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ylkY45m90

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcgxkPxEHi

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooddTRorBh

"Can't wait to hear it,"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a8gbFdcIk
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljfoQrmpYA
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7yhbLzPlJ

"Anything for you, 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnoGNXSGIq
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2noOw07k0K
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1B5XbKUJ0
look at Zoey.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwOm3Zy0P0

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ6qpvRL8w

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QcyolzKWJ

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01WIhnYi1F

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD407wNn49p

"You know Collins is 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlWzGtI5M6
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceWcSUtYBk
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGNMl3imuE
floor.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vTjgP15N8

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9iufWs0W7

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH5KIe6yYv

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmNQ9lL0X9

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFjrYv1Cs3

"We better sort out all 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDefD2L0OVh
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXBVFUjcAs
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PzE2ZbpeA
floor.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmscEoWCAfU

Sorting out all the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiZ2BcKMlR
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjq1OcmuKW
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHs3HY3qoJ
had really bought a lot of stuff.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Kcjj9gF0

The boys had brought a 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr9ut6eC8e
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ngCT9xJtv
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGnJum6JUD
expensive designer shoes.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtgEyctQB2

As for Zoey and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPz4Bs5cxH
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWml3coqA7q
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gR3K0h56F
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiBTBgaAf1

"G-Dragon was helping me1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYluaoPqtXF
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJhr9lXTTI
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfghAEauiis

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr9n7ofH6g

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1qhQb7gyT

We were sitting on the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatNeGovE3N
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUUfVxPt3v
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoCg7mTTWd
stuff with Collins' too.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbcimvAJwc

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0BVAEp5wF

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeN78KUiFG

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdzmotd7p8

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo946RX6m1

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPZkww6IMZ

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DjW6JYEiP

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJni3tRTzf

I distributed the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBzZjRrT9k
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYdUEM9J0O
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8YnTxpRwE
was meant for me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc4AbtzUcS

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfGsNLu8Uz

"Don't worry about it," I said as I walked over to her. "We will find it tomorrow. We can't go through all these right now."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKDuYm4OPN

"Ya, you're right," said Zoey. She had a gloomy look on her face. I could tell that she had bought that gift with lots of love.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8IAsB6pbP

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdjUXZy8us

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMR6F0qMz6

For a moment, time 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvzmHtXks6
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT51YSBujAg
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz7PPEFlEo
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMufW61WsH5
mess.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHxbV2FoxP

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw734nDLLkK

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oGrlFmDWz

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt9sKe21b7

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4XWiRtyii

For me, it kind of felt 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCp5n3ETcm
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLBrEK4NFy
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAYbvmSb8k
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJp6AIQAuf

When Collins came to the1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNri8l1oFvT
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnTYc5Uvkx
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ9mJNTAA3
he just couldn't.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFfVuTrNCl

"Hey, Collins," I said.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCjka40T32

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bBEfwdtlV

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUhGejpWaM

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1KDfg1Ezc

"Thanks."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGT0kCjoKI

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwy957jako

"Who?" I asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHNOy9sy5g

"You know who I'm talking about."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoCP4VyL5o

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowhbR0Nf3R

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYqUqDBDwS

Collins went over to the1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ044oGspysX
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUICGnG8F6
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilf0aUoHgM
up at him.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VaFq5waCB

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cT2jqVUIp

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xA6m2vXAk

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAg94VbNd1

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy1Mrs4Ocy

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWghy8xUa82

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMmhKqax9c

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKcpZQO9IT

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN39kZkwS7T

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFHQhSU0zH

"Ya, most of the stuff weren't bought by us, you know? If it came to the designer clothes, it was all from Chanel," said Zoey.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKcG04C06i

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM1Qga2u4K

"Here, we brought you an1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PoYtlF2lX
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ymn3RLbKY
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpeJQNYPz6

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgsyHNpiCv

"Thanks," said Collins, 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecObw0AfkV
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd8B9bcjQn
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMo72Uc3kq

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCskOdIIMTd

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KqSoltwYy

Lee was right. Collins 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GdpucNm7E
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zqMr0KQOy
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNBz0Tt6hV
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTU52MEI0Q
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CiEgUzR4C
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBwcnNTVTL

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYEPKZ3Ka2

We continued sorting out1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEh5Y1pD0M
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9DCKObgA4
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPYqlv1byb
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4cgRLlsPc
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hnZU2gV9x
already too late and we all needed to rest.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dynieh5Hy

We hadn't managed to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuNLBcobhE
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzEdbZkXDW
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYxv6KX3N1
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoQ2VaduAl
course.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Kg6yGvLZ

When we were all done and had retired to our rooms, Zoey quickly pushed me into the room when I was just coming into the room.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBMsiZ0VyI

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tXtRRxE3I

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKzwrRP5rZ

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4OWZ1N5KB

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbSNOr5ct6

I looked at her with an 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a67I4kQ8y
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyzV1NaOmn
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjoZHcrjXT

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7LWa9sDuE

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR7wmXjarW

"Fine?" I looked at 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lFAu7aWFM
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wqgI7ph7Z
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYml3EyPZk
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnERGgMrE0H

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3LjdxHgru

"Tell me, please!" I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLTBNFVLl3
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW6F674kF3
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJKkYbYANU
tell me something. So tell me!"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE6iE4M22v

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAG3SKjBnM

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyZm8HZxFS

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngsgGTmpxH

"Hello! Earth to Zoey!" I snapped my fingers in front of Zoey's face. "You look so lost. Please tell me what's bothering you."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKIJ52eP6N

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKQezLcHLq

I felt really excited 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDCpyuockr
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU3X7jUkLY
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp8GYIR27K

"I don't know how I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasuw1arfBz
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0ZYy2KdAW
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLUWhaQZNw
Tower."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1CZN6dGbx

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWoibXKHOt
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcdYcFTYVH
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhNOgoAYHO

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4ZrNc9CMH

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrXXA1eUTY

"So we got to the Tower and we were having a good time as usual." Zoey paused as she licked her lips. "Then something happened."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNlAcv8sEu

"What?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw3pElQ5O9

"When we got to the top 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35i2BdsvVs
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2TDh8ecl9
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxhpSqzcf2
others had left and it was just GD and I."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxJyPn3rPD

My eyes grew wide. I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEQK0ntcxD
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53FZk3xuYP
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYf5D6OTGu

"You two kissed."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y4oad3Oxv

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MwoA6mRyv

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF65w8pebU

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ijzBMX7aF

"Well, you were in one 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KYkPwnvow
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXQ15pyBMu
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQoAbcU3WC

"Smart."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7P8jHA5wk

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcP1Ucw8Sb

Zoey smiled like a fool,1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKtuJwFskj
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsDjzeFNhF
it was so magical at the same time."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfucfWa3ldz

I couldn't help but 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnUlBFvhV6
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKmfh05gio
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpXeq9ioN8
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLV0rjBAAM
everyone at the prom.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROHtMfRGPH

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCfiftV9Et

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRV7IJ68Lb

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ971VooVq9U

"And? Anything else? 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRMQKvjftv
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9nis1EldW
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRqA7NnfXd

"When we were on top of 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjCwFiho6U
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4YnVmh1bD
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTFcF6tRH2

Well that's a bummer. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjJMuqOIOe
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ne0M19qnn
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvD9fJTy11
really liked Zoey and not me?1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaeXBHLdbf

I brushed that off. Why 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj2yrfKJ63
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjv8wN0sO3
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxmIpI7Xro
hopes up with it.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRvKIOJKeQ

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI80dr7AdEV

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPjwElUWNh

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXcrsJ6lR2

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uQn6N7fWJ

"Thanks, Sam."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLeWGtsEX7

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdF7OIcFSk

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJA57RL65B

I left Mr Panda on the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhTq5tbb8l
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xQa1Xajke
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TD9LgwEoA
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMykYKu4ijt
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGX9dZnCQD

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp22vGg71gX

"Good night," she replied. She turned to the other side to flip the switch beside the bed on the wall and the room went dark.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx3aEBsV4g

I laid my head on the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89HmGaoIXd
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzVzN0DHDl
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVHlVtXpxC
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIBkAGQDV7
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyEHhly7eg
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQUYaL8UvP
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe4lJRrUL1
have been.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HCDm33NrT

Zoey would have only 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF0X0Bvvyl
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1atDB2hz0
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsi5fl0gZE
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSnlPUSkdy

To be honest, I was happy for Zoey. And when I heard her giggling again, I realised that I wouldn't want to hurt her.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOba7cl974

I pulled Mr Panda closer1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaLYxwP2j9
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDL6gb4yvf
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9HDbSFTAi

***1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RoeMjNpDE

I was given a round of 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkuy8odwa4
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl5Cve2cP9
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbApjnW10ib
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MU4WRRL26

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d9qBescUt

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxNsJCJw5

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Ggk01DF8

"Then you better eat 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XGUOM2VZz
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymLfSXPiop
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGduuXKoqyO

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBHXMvGKj9

"I can't wait for us to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfHcpD1S56
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSeaIxA8Xd
beside me. I could only tell why.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyDvnkDwiW

Christine who sat 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqu2AmIAms
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOef3NS1BKa
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGJfrnLcLm
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUlP723VMp
and G-Dragon.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRw5LyEsO7

When we were done 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXNdsE4qHt
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OGeLVXwK1
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAADUFsZb6H

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyS9iE2lib

"What is it, Zoey?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMtwUdaNb6

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96w4ZBsUe7

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ42A9S2qDL

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtoSzF6fYL

"That's the problem," 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlhRE3lqKd
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4njtofS3R5
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUMZK5gVQb
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPPu78wxQZ

Mike turned away and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqvyyUPnSv
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOtPOcpZgN
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDuX3gWNLJ
something?1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQeVbpQSAD

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3VUrQwzra

We agreed with Christine1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaozqGmxWs
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8RnuL7rND
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvNXFasSIF
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG7EvjYahr

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcsKGDl2ho

"Hey, how are you," said G-Dragon as he came and gave her a hug. I bypassed them heading to the couch sitting next to Daesung.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKqLok2U4T

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH594wbCz7

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sVp4tEMUQ

"I also feel like I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZhPihFCM2
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJviPGU8Bl
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMVAwUe6CQ
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi25GyQ3T3x

"Do you think we should 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ijwkiRye
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzugE1OFwy
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnswkbj0kF

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOxU8lmAuV

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGqw2aMSa4

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3lTcyofOW

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB20jGGNyF

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZdzSWjRHi

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKzxcRX7BF

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg7dMBqjFX

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpJR1fXsQb

I stood up from the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMOL8FtS9x
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBGQMEvlzU
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhgbcFaD5m
conversation.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsjkcz3lFu

When I went back, I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuDk0XHOjR
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpgZCkcwB0
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagZvUmTOUA
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpBGpvEoB7

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeha6DFJ4A

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkPtOLFfIh

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ4BRlY0WD

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVKrdVSlVc

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeXvjSK9NI

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpryUo2LF1t

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR7ZhUSDE9

G-Dragon gave me a weird1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYFIMLIKCd
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstyFg64pDe
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgTpnfHiUp
took their place on the couch.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEXsNuyZBN

"Christine and Daesung, I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjl0u1IeYW
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52xsKyPM6q
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsqN5Hw3NR

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM3DbBI8RT

"Ya, we will sing the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Hzw0SvVE
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX19e1eLbv7
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx6Jt0Lshr
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qg927ZJSu
producer has the lyrics printed out."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIRurhntt5

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWjsET8zRp

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0PvaBIG0q

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXmwGmaDlr

Then we all went over 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKTr0f73SY
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI0X0afUL5
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rLOmFsLiI

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhhfPDNElG

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYykYcr31Dm

"Me too," said TOP.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRo0wDjsml

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrUf7AabPe

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Zmxt1csY

I didn't look up at him 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAjHanmWUo
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL399TEoGhe
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXE9WmbhTf
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNaDV2XcGS

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHNfYhxBwC

I started to relax my 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkaCXeDYlZ
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09lIDGSoW6
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluRvXDTfbv

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKTJuRPrOM

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ246Wu7tViG

G-Dragon came to sit 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1sxoXR2ni
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7QojK696E
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0s7Rv5lAA
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM5j33eIsL
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK3JYYqflA

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGlCT2grkF

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9zQDYxVWi

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShz2rdVaeL

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBumVY6Hcd

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVCSKECOAr

"Really?" the music producer asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcK8TTed0S

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPivALf45xG

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSq8OkhHYl

"Give him a chance, 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8QgFAeUQ0
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShC9OdXSfH
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3WcKB7vGB
headphones and put them on.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9PmlHcAdd

"Okay, this is 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUd0F1AoZs
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjWqtJBE54
join them and see what needs some changing."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKWNnY5caA

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uSSnIuBuP

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvQVbr809C

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ML5aVJ0z

The others looked at me 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEXkylYSjS
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5TGt3KM8p
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PogCzCaA2

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w8VgsINb1

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJbpRVOEy6

"That's going to be a 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOvdCa8GJQ
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgXcY60sd8
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1csLSkDMG

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqD82znijf

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkMTpebztz

"Okay let's go through the song," I said as everyone nodded their heads and sat on the couch and I went over to get the guitar.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAy8RXEA2N

I looked over at Zoey 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge6xlTmifd
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGekG1qHXSD
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcocZVtfdgJ

I put a stool in front 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhgQJYmbS4
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DHKG8QVry
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIUt2OZwA4
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jbHgjTAmY
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSR7FzBX6x
others.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBnRkdn4qf

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7WomQwdZU

Taeyang and I sung the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VT2N6XOFl
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd2RO0EaZm
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPVkzBrhGd
great and everyone cheered.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b3XNgRhaj

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXgNzDVwjs

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96OsfEJJKU

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwalgUxeRb

TOP started to rap the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI0J9CxD7X
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX3FueYVTo
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSyd5P3PYA
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5vA4pQAHU

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY0MpSiykz

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwYLsZwp6I

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjjoS9MzHj

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJHTBbzOD3

Daniel and Seungri sung 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UnJQvjMwB
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxEVhc0Z9Y
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFTYbIzZ5u
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwwKn2uCxY
clapped for themselves and cheered.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FjHS8u8aG

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAod87iQ3qD

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qKLbpuCJ6

I almost fell off the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09YGKU6LdK
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxQeY4jQYl
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMieMsQzpx
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWdzuRqBui

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeQOVVzOsa

"I have to say, you all 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyInRfReGGx
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV3EIUnrbf
smile. "Keep up the good work."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf7kNZYQDO

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKBqPxnHRF

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrhNatgL1l

No one said anything. We1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrIZajHAql
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZqSIVBfnE
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOezAlTrr8p
talking.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yMAEQw7JK

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjJg3mOtc2

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKI9n7jQ0m

That, I couldn't answer.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nIgnC67n7
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0L4CwMW7s
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWewuCXXpL

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2LBadrxyG

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsi0eWz6Nu

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWLtu4ggEz

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXPxp7BzhV

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnLzwrrF3k

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJh7X6XL6N

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHR9MCqj3j

"I want them back here 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8H9mWKxEJ
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWUqzzVrpn
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyosrOOxQ8

I gulped as I felt the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYmoidUKlb
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpDhLT3Yyq
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbEh8QXTom
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcKyIvxsuv

No one said anything 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahhYHmJyAj
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPN8SgnJyT
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aIESM9rJz

"Where could they have 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhDt2hNRFR
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7z2wAJwjC
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzucK33U7Ng

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0mLgEA9vW

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4wI1d4ZNp

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKWgzseooi

"Then we better start 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzsq91zNjg
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0OAW462m9
looking for them will be difficult."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiSDzcxkuv

We all agreed to split 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBnuKs7RwH
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVELPRl7Fx
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoJnk62hPV
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhFWzQpfhH

All the studio rooms 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpbOcmaAyx
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYrHGJh15T
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3UoW4dLSI

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm9QVZKiWv

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAziwN5NCwR

"Almost fifteen minutes."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqbw4CYEw3

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlmSulgDlR

He nodded and pulled out1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm09z5ghVO
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRQdBophfS
walked out of it and came towards us.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6newnmaiGP

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBjlqrDpvt

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOBznDnH0f

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6kO7XTEfL

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYqnRpP06d

I looked at the time on my watch. We only had fifteen minutes and Yang Hyun-suk was going to kill us all if we didn't find them.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxpuqA2Ezu

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9JVnKzu8t

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTXLaEWjpE

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwQRfBzJVa

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvWhpK9ZtI

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sgowHtiDG

I hadn't said a word 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c7GBtdQuF
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3cfLVdRUf
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGAwMuW5gq
but worry.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm9n0KVnEz

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFQdagnXfM

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatZ2DYMJ5K

Daesung motioned his 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DogTtYVJz
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjYcXa6sgR
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RldWVT3wy

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rfg5xcHyw

Taeyang and the music 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqvP5RXOdD
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65gyIqdVLV
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwY1UU6qsJ
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9vU5W8bbD
and angry at the same time.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2t8cRxuy2

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHI3aInzhy

I looked over at Daesung1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhNE4477jp
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnSGhudAOD
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k8DonfCl2
the play button.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBfu5kMU5q

***1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlXmZhELR2

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62qxLBTxOZ

I came crushing back 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45HndErgr5
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X5cuklmmV
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mTt38s2X5

I had so many mixed 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCX5Z6Ur1v
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06hMZ9idPZ
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XyDN1dr4H
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyvU2n1Pyl
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiXXQe4rPO

I could tell that the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb9smKfHjW
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRes8E2DmKe
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1szhAVgNE
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc9oxXlQXF

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG22aLxC28

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq8IMM6ROv

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFfqCy2Rfp

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIyo8aAU2z

I folded my arms and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GDNh1zheF
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguJh3vUfQ5
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyawOxTUt3Z

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGqQZa3Yd5

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmxlTmnb4U

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekXKkHZlIc

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmTime4TDp

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sYjXYN9Vd

I could feel the others 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnEDMxk1Sv
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvjEXgfLW1
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNgPVQaxe4
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRf66wh5SD
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLNiCrhY5A
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXoO1fiJ7k

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJLh7eJfu8

"Okay." I nodded my head.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVoOaZ5gJA

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbgNwbmh9P
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL73OgBjkg9
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIgFYlr0gw

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSE5Vn1Qd1

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70AnM4HgJE

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpChxKvaYN

"Not until I hear what 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2yxTYhv5C
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKu1QVsQFC
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38dl7cbrf0
trying to calm down.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg1T41TTt9

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tzCcmRiYS

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgaG0nltrm

"So that we could get 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x5mCsd9QS
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXb1XoiwC9
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjQQOMPChh
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwb8FXRJmw

"I agree with Sam," said1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Uk9v7wA4
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM9fpMPzbU
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FYUchkO4F

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtyqkrQ9HL

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomDXJrFSf3

The rest of the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtPCwYni4H
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YCeJbHgRm
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVE9PvNqsE
playing cards.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb55lGI2BPC

I was leaning my chin on1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdxhBbBzXQ
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M3FPzESAm
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxre3cnzRk0
especially to me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhPm7MeTTo

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOob2bRpA5

I suddenly sat upright 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxknDstLvH
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZKN9lYHAb
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIB8nEPrRy
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YXDoA0rvT
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlYyK3f8yY

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxxNQk2iwv

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfKZAu2h88

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDzcIBVSU9

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3YdiB6txr

"Maybe we can just order1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkXaIn8qFe
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTtAXvgWhA
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl6xKEFT7W

"Good idea," said TOP. "Let me tell her right now." He pulled out his phone and just when he was about to call, Lee came in.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGdCK6A2RM

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPPN37G1NJ

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX39j2TgHPQ

"I heard that Zoey and 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluCxTomiJa
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZhc7j6k1b
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOZLdUAfdF

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrn5ph6ue8

"Then it's a good thing 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOFHaIvIUg
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Towl9qym
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEBwjNyG9g

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLx51AzGp4

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkHJZh7Cmw

Everyone soon dropped 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Qu46RHM8
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOzluL5KiT
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhQNxbcDG1

I had never eaten pizza 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm0WcPW2FX
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81uhVRBFWM
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZqsMMCMgo

We were done finishing 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p89IDqMNO
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDOOO6Tuhi
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mD4Wa62op

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76R7ZXHyiO

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzEvHP7N8N

We were huddled up on 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwthsqVAlhs
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnZrjNbli8
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjjrFwKphm

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZrh1CMlWF

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyKxYgMmZ5

"You lied? About what?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiViEdvDg0

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPf222kBWI

"But why?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9enM6Bmxx0

"Because, I had no choice. I want to know why GD did this. It's best we know and see how we can move forward."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZOrBcJLu

I finished my slice of pizza and licked my fingers when Lee asked, "don't you think he just did that to get back at you, Sam?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUeoGv2whh

I didn't expect Lee to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfo2fnIFcm
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrslcUMPfF7
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsJSLanWWj

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3US6q8Yji6

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW2fJ6hg3B

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPjEH2BwYG

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdidD2xzep

I stood up from the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59jGDOzkop
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hr05feqLA
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguaCMJkatX
later.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL9uI5lX86

Trying to find the right1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHxhtUK3q1
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zUMirecrB
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6XfNOZiSn
what for, was the question in mind.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR8autwNIP

"Aren't you going to 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a4Io0tXAG
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOn63Wl42K
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6BbZrMDDb

"I doubt it," said TOP. "I was here with them when they were writing the lyrics and the two of them looked fine to me."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUlYk6CimR

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb5xqN41kG

I looked at Lee and she was looking back at me with a scared look on her face. Using my eyes, I told her not to say a word.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PrO7EDzCq

Lee went on to look at 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJPvXfnUuO
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGFA6W8oWM
just thought they might be arguing again."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9QcNmJpEO

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiKFs2nSsX

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mtxEMWNJb

"I don't even know what 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7zGLZQLmp
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4gGJ9KoWO
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqthoCbX6P

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNiVsBNOWm

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0k2n6CyVK

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzuvIkmbvi

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4xzJsfetp

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxPgrKRHok

It only took five 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Cu0q8Tk6
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA0Jhuakpx
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDBzIwErEt
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzb6b9EWiO

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbX509PKYk

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVGQ8jFJLV

Still, no one said anything. It looked like no one was ready to throw the dice first. I cleared my throat and looked at Lee.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbo35hsLXu

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSGIiwLTQm

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRoe87ejP8

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVbxEihzNV

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BxYnVcmMx

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgxbvJevtM

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqE7nQ4CoM

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFKUBiyEAq

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUWb289vQt

I tried to keep my tone down and my anger in check but I was boiling inside. Any minute now, I might just blow my head off.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbYMMQZHeF

I was expecting an answer from G-Dragon but all he did was look at me. I kept on coming closer, my eyes not leaving his.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ504YUre5DL

"Why did you this?" I asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDambjv9O5

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh805GN3Eje

"If you didn't like it, you should have just said so and all of us together would have figured something out. Not what you did."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHP8gtQQAE

When I got closer to them, I took out the USB drive from my pocket. I took G-Dragon's right hand and placed it in his open palm.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6diPzCURhs

"The instrumental is in 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G2kgQCrW4
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchIfdgwjsa
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjVHf04tWk
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7pqj6Ze3z
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVdjMCok95
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX6Nu918zE
pissed."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWbLtjJfOv

"Wait, a minute," said Taeyang as he came up right behind me. "He first has to tell us what's happening between the two of you."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrIPuvcbs2

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TLrHBWNfW

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O8ruTIQDd

I looked at Zoey and she1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQMEoSrFVJ
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuDLH82Lgq
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcZTX5kJRe
was mad at me for.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Ayq7IFMA

"Now is not the right 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPfkBcOhXL
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMShjwOwUr
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXxvfuipFL
understand.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUA74UYR2y

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhgeP5c5cq
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKneYfjO70z
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOgrgboIEq
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFeO776kPY

"It's about time you guys got here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned towards Zoey and G-Dragon. "Hope you had a perfect lunch."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFQGwOfqt2

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOuamd7wpC

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJs28bAw4H

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoKxVksUam

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Psa7Bhg5V

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNjfKQorci

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aGjhVe1vA

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVxmpctcRK

I paused with my mouth 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsClrXtKIC
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX3T3Ndena
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhv90iQeXb
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwHBitW63R

I looked at G-Dragon and1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9phPHOtUE
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dLwaBBYZR
face wondering what he was thinking.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cM1Lvxp57

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqOPChzhbe

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD39W7Icnw6

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0b0iXD5Ui

I smiled and Seungri 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUSFAkePhI
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBPl3nmaLm
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUAihcg36j
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVJJ54xXTZ

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5kqSTzxJs

I smiled a little more. 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7rSTqMF6I
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH8sikDm9q
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhXt4fkpxm
were at war again.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OPqI0GRv0

"But we can't start 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKVjBi515z
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwjAkY5XCD
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC0dcbvKMk

I sat upright and alert.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5oMBgmB0X
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMWuBzQpjT
have to record the track the day after?"1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRncQFW8Ca

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuj9oB9Vki

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKKiybJWsv

"But why didn't you tell1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRtSYY8ro4
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo5AsacVev
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8qTfrcPYa

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22ABk6JmF7

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI1qqGZ5Lj

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1dOfAXjL7

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp31rCiJFo

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqE7N5eBme

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9TxCaZpxf

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWNi9eEKSd

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNMAHrxNsI

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndtCs8eoOg

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIObFIEGOIy

The two managers and Lee went out of the room first. Just as we were about to walk out, TOP stopped me by holding my hand.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MmRWNhYCe

I turned to look at him 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pVYBO1hf8
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCStZOOxKp
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQunfv2pptf
me like that.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoveWd16ve

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyqmxQvXjT

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsYgWhZKh6

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BALZUG2P6

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtGdlaFsBJ

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu66f0zM0Rq

Zoey and the others left the room and I was the last to walk out. I didn't want to look at G-Dragon, but I did.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilqSRqkONb

We looked at each other 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0N4sGOr91
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4LacEMZIu
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIT7xKE7BG
Maybe he also felt the same.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J5VOS6Gjo

But I wouldn't know and I wouldn't like to know what he felt. I walked out of the studio, closing the door behind me.1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43tUPTwybH

I then realised that I 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPmLNnoO21
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcA9Ok6YCX
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxglMZALcKW
another time.
