My body ached all over 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxWsGTqCm1m
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdBrZBq3Ftu
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1107Please respect copyright.PENANAioa5R6blEk
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYA06Dg32Ln
bed.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8WkY0cR0wq
I scratched my head as I1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8BYB5jSzPN
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQqIIdDp4CU
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1107Please respect copyright.PENANARQiiZYOnWq
he found me here.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwhsOgye5k6
I slowly stood up and I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA6F1lut8r6v
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANATT0lXbEYmw
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAp1lWdYC65e
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAKYhDleugF
"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHSL5M69BTT
I almost jumped in 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWSJnGcb4Ib
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWW42gQ7d5C
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUODW6w5GIy
obviously reading the news online.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcAAtjxOMsz
"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeX8HtjKtbM
"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKN91b1EoXF
"'Don't tire yourself 1107Please respect copyright.PENANABwPUyKQoOj
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0OLKmIkxZf
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAagZXx2VMht
"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPDWqE2cDLI
"Oh, you were listening?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZWlFR2FLv
"Ya, you kept on playing1107Please respect copyright.PENANAC6mCZKP44J
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANADQkxrx4jca
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA15ry54p5OH
"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWRtBEZSJWM
"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIrmHsxgNUC
"For covering me with a blanket."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3JmOnQPr8y
Collins looked at me 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfQzSNTCdIc
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1107Please respect copyright.PENANARv7AHKFR2H
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuLfl03nAn4
"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkFzds0UgXK
"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPkkhKwr1Hc
"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1107Please respect copyright.PENANARDJKjfn3gh
"Me too."1107Please respect copyright.PENANArkkLr783ie
"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1107Please respect copyright.PENANApbcreEbK4M
Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqMco1EQRCy
"Going to take a shower," I said.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuPR2EZSP5J
"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmrimYnmwXv
After I freshened myself1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjbaZ7Z5ts0
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEZwc4VQ1nA
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1107Please respect copyright.PENANATRcYSK95ic
Collins was still on his tablet.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJlHNEyBTC8
"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwoDddSYFVB
"Nope. Just looking at 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzrO6uQT1p2
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAG6u2EkYHOz
coming back late at night with the others."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlIRDvfC0QB
"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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3qnB4w94I
"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAt3MNWzxQFj
"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXuLZY0Xef1
"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1107Please respect copyright.PENANARz6UkDHZNE
Collins handed his 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxfVvhAQ8D9
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAg8ie3D2hQL
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsWsKFfFxO0
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1107Please respect copyright.PENANArRXLLhEC6c
having a great time.1107Please respect copyright.PENANABLNtlLIL88
"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAt3yXxjejKQ
"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAw6HC2rREJF
I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdvYhcTFhRP
"They should have as 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgpWgY95qQ6
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXFb7FrscGd
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYCSZDoXQZX
"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUG72X6i2H1
"No, it's not about the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAvtBh2IrJL
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1107Please respect copyright.PENANASUDJSxc0HS
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9sXW2DWh2H
I looked at Lee who sat 1107Please respect copyright.PENANACPp9T4uARz
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEOFxTvbUKa
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjoj2Q18vZt
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGSPcIH3hC5
"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkeLQ1fb4sT
"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3rsrRcvh3t
I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfSSFRBxzTv
"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAL0pYRp0tc5
"If I tell you, I'll 1107Please respect copyright.PENANATNFF4Ui8ee
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKjMLvTgyGx
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhrJoIbHSD7
Collins got up from his 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEcbeuz3B1s
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXUOp29BnNT
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAbuY3tS4HNw
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9AzCuKZfaR
"What do you know?" I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAUHhzI5BjG
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHmEka1Xw4N
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUg0JTrzzya
detective asking questions to a criminal.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAq181hbICHC
"I don't know," Lee 1107Please respect copyright.PENANADLayWYUJEE
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEGF33DddYO
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIxCxkmsG92
I knew something was up 1107Please respect copyright.PENANANNM5Jg80qy
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaljZ5CHHgy
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgh49Lz3iGo
"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1107Please respect copyright.PENANATxD6eKrfuN
"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZSqYgWSIf
"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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9AUofBkpES
"Hey, what's wrong?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANA71odQW9iKs
"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAj5rlowynyb
"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEegIlWOiGg
"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsfggo6ucPK
Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwICAQcpune
"Well, kind of," I said 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAz9KBGIwNj5
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAujemiparsv
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMS0RW29elh
"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1107Please respect copyright.PENANANFZjAlW7NM
"Okay."1107Please respect copyright.PENANALqrWjEEuIc
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYtArWXXZva
Lee, Collins and I soon 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIRTrR8ebv1
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFPwqIvK19S
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1107Please respect copyright.PENANALesIBkX2JW
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKaFyfPPfBH
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3EnyPbsKOz
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3vy5XsqJkd
I was waiting in th 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJJpox9Nfok
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxhyvRIShy4
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0o67tyAn2Q
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1107Please respect copyright.PENANATeg16e2oAt
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWaT7xJYJm2
I was pacing up and down1107Please respect copyright.PENANAg2FUyRFKLv
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmfDeOlYAMF
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgUFnoV4no8
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1Itm1JlQJ6
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuJgqLmYTYD
and I was so nervous.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1DbJ9qpZof
"Here she is," said Lee,1107Please respect copyright.PENANAA1WE4Cg9Zk
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWedzVl3jwm
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyAfId6GCBP
you, Tae."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4TqdfGg8iS
I frowned at Lee and I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXhRJxoyftn
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyCwdEQUfHs
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjHiJ4E3xic
friend.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAICy13e6CMO
"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1107Please respect copyright.PENANArKbz48Is9n
"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAd6CMUb7eCT
"I told Taeyang that I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmXZeSOX16O
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1107Please respect copyright.PENANALMSaa12PGI
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAbXfGFPxeTd
"Our manager called me 1107Please respect copyright.PENANApNg1Szb6HE
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVwT2e72CZH
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwJTmFfbZqh
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAV2Pqyc6ti0
"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFc3D9fQMj7
"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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3fOw6wDw0l
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmY9gozTnRr
"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1107Please respect copyright.PENANALZrcybrUZS
"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKrqDZORWzZ
"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMrBIbgygCW
"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZcuiWa1Xut
"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsuzMPGPd8W
"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtaTo1oSzcB
"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPNKhUV1d8X
"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1107Please respect copyright.PENANANb4c5Ko1IE
"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANANKfGighd6U
"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUddwUgGXVT
"Sure."1107Please respect copyright.PENANACFzEs3j8X3
I gave Taeyang my 1107Please respect copyright.PENANARbkBhqLnyk
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAayn8NUiJ9r
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ5jMzxbUY
cute together.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjl1aFcNOcW
"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."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAELOOMIwDRO
"Thanks. I was singing 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAF6vqIBfux3
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmtt8TQqqSN
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA63up71unJ7
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtAnnmsTbWN
"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANABKm2zxuTSH
"Well...not really," I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoIXLAJXAnT
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuxSa9fqjyU
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1107Please respect copyright.PENANArgLfThCnt1
"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJtP0jDiCiL
"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPsDT2OXuYP
I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZZAZEivLWw
The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4HDzNTvl6A
"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXsyc9fCBBK
"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZQuba9o22s
"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAy78zQPItSr
"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKWcnYxnx2l
"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAO9UDNDisaH
Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAK1jZ1UGD8y
"Right now."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4oWdCZPERW
We all turned towards 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPd6nPWGyuJ
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtEBne6gtzK
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwtrZOdAopH
When everyone got 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHyhqAcWcqd
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAze9qmwtIsT
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZdlGFgg7Pz
run out of the room.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0nUjRSI2XI
"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5BUWozZwSJ
I nodded my head and my 1107Please respect copyright.PENANADshWrKy74N
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvHFsPeB6cI
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZD3NO0yWT
ever got to play it.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdoyJEddhtr
I felt a break of sweat 1107Please respect copyright.PENANApUdwycvlF1
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvazz0QRoCS
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAezVFXjg5Q2
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1107Please respect copyright.PENANAysR5BaQ9RA
strung the strings on the guitar.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeIJRFLhXab
I started to sing as I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAt1ogI3G6q4
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4WsI9w2Ifg
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1107Please respect copyright.PENANATnWHpwtm1n
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANANBRJYqFR1U
didn't. Well, I hope so.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEvG4E4DBDS
As soon as I was done 1107Please respect copyright.PENANApqnhQta39f
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOiZ0N5mf62
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkavKiwDlnN
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAg5V6xk9iXy
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1107Please respect copyright.PENANASoNRGLDau7
hoped they liked it.1107Please respect copyright.PENANANoNEoYOXww
The studio was still 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAD0pdeHraYq
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAW0i29RGtFd
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA95TxIEDtCP
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAs5BevGdagN
Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1107Please respect copyright.PENANApBL6LMUQ2T
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAg4s8fOoaiq
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3AwhbnSUNB
"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAW6xHYUJJgQ
This was it. The hammer 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQ65a5nf6Hq
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1107Please respect copyright.PENANANZw3ZH8JHF
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Q6KoK0Sr
"....incredible."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAavXgkTaNsF
I opened my eyes and I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAezdvIwX6Rt
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1107Please respect copyright.PENANACwtWbwn9jV
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEPFCvokyG0
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIqih3lDdXA
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAq5ccfsPE6v
"I've to admit, when 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA50rBSMeROj
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1107Please respect copyright.PENANASflmz3wJ24
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2QfLmyv17C
"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvirY7PNoZW
"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1107Please respect copyright.PENANABFf2uEd4R7
"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAg3ojklhKZM
"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAN34TD1kTbj
"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwQWhndmhiu
"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGjC3PsaDBH
I couldn't stop smiling 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGuV4RP7ev6
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtJxoOFlcbf
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkh81x3FOtU
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaLJZMMd05I
good voice and a golden one.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAW7dnekg1Hl
Immediately our managers1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8RXqKsFcTy
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVY5blXYytL
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1107Please respect copyright.PENANAakd1kE6uxs
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsgmGHAOai6
musical instruments.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVsb3iFsjr9
This was always the hard1107Please respect copyright.PENANAA4JBjUdLrR
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAI8xJeNRXRU
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAumgTGwBpqp
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPgqZDLdPuV
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcbCVPN7Dx2
An hour had passed and I1107Please respect copyright.PENANALr40R4rIVW
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqSdlo7v3kf
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1107Please respect copyright.PENANANgdiAzBx2x
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKcmguCVghp
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANASUSBZ7EHZW
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7seGbV2U2Y
"It's been an hour and I1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0mnivubwJK
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkW42igYRKC
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9tylX2HUs2
"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgA4LRvvPw6
"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y6pr4md14
"Trust me, you're so 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEYHKfP83Dc
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxSoVojnNAL
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7iYttbjOIa
"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqj4ycBz7gx
"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4ElkXcoitc
"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5vvOEZsfws
"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAB0yKxVCTVX
"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkJoSJjliij
"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1107Please respect copyright.PENANATk5lClwSZV
"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJIgMz5o1b6
"Mmmm." I murmured in 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsxgNSy04AE
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUfT1EfZ2nF
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2JswWn1aUc
masseur."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVTm73BVC0x
"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1107Please respect copyright.PENANATJ25dTFVfW
I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFU53w2im2r
The music producer soon 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjrBI2UDavL
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA13Yq9E7pW1
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAb09WrcHl7b
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWGL4BEQmvS
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANArTVGP0ef7o
recording the track.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnc6yRyNgGJ
We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJF0w4L4wby
"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOhygdkcN85
"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZVgoWssNht
"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1p8kmqylrT
"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4wyJ5qmiRj
I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANARB7cgyIe3X
"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9v48e2jzNN
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA25yEWSVo21
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAN7SLnJsXi4
"Let me guess, you're 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZMQulWjt5C
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFXR6qt9gWx
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIYVA6yBA2L
"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1107Please respect copyright.PENANANApE438LJZ
Something told me his 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPUxP6kCfeC
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwG2Owgl3Ps
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAv1bIdXgkGO
always does.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyiVNLVXWG6
"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyWKugp2kH0
"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnvVSqoCkWv
It was late in the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANApkjYfEKxgK
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYCwAIPdIun
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzpHRQJr1lo
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWnFustOTeK
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1107Please respect copyright.PENANALHbhlI6PXp
"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlpQtMCc9Lt
"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7BSgQf4yCq
I looked beside him and I1107Please respect copyright.PENANAv8wsWUq2R4
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfTLIkhOg7t
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHnEU7oMw5M
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7sSZ6lEuZq
leaning my head on the console.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhEQ8I1h8Z7
"I always hate this part1107Please respect copyright.PENANADUYDRiaIcf
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1107Please respect copyright.PENANASqNsvmTgVZ
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8qHRMzNDhe
console.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAh4BWSHG6pi
"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1107Please respect copyright.PENANANM3QPPIM0i
"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmbIABjAYgg
"I wonder what time."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA27VCKkFvQ7
"Wait." I pushed my head1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYod4YGtwEA
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1107Please respect copyright.PENANADIuqXSexLg
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAc8pYJuaOfF
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqTODGbS6gX
"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXNNJvy1EwC
"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1107Please respect copyright.PENANADEOMGPZla8
"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAR2agwVvs0Z
"I didn't sleep well 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoHhvreL6s6
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVbb6pvrzko
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1107Please respect copyright.PENANATrHSgROoSY
"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7D8HslXjcI
"You're right." I soon 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFoYxWggPWs
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFOKkPc8c4W
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7KQpmI0JxQ
"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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJsIIt9VCo6
"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAW5BQOvoqfn
"Alright. Thanks."1107Please respect copyright.PENANASKfRRUCPio
"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4W9SKIQJVj
"And so will I," said Seungri.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOriV86GsVD
"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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAiA1XqQ3aoq
Immediately I left the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4IJyTdLDWg
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1107Please respect copyright.PENANADn2Qu4t9Tz
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnj8B8NYUbo
"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAk20LqRdLAU
"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfe5xFrdBNv
"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1107Please respect copyright.PENANADI4q4Ewvo4
Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAACUOdcOPwz
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwMAecyueek
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnmzvwywINd
The next thing I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOkvz6RqWvV
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqb6kg46mUi
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ5M01zALF
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAi2ERR4dY9Q
I woke up by the sound 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWiyhHVwWJW
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWhCMqECdsE
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4sLqK1dgC8
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvqQ2IzR8rl
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYSn0seGR0z
I reached out for the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAptvlrqMRuX
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYINVzyqnX3
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1107Please respect copyright.PENANAANstkwLygl
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIkhNiCYhie
I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANARmKcvr9eft
"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXqlzF15CXR
"I could hear it ringing1107Please respect copyright.PENANAATr8kNSn8C
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAytWxuZ7Fuy
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAB94DYnAZC3
"Thanks," I said as I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKO7sOXQhOV
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1107Please respect copyright.PENANAiRAXMyDwMz
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAxna5n7EaQ
"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0UxG7smo3R
"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2yRagh2NvI
"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsLNHtXG5kn
"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoxccHvdXq5
Lee left the room and I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGxaLKLLdWC
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYjPWcMDrM3
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1107Please respect copyright.PENANADh6wtgPvA6
"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAq66IH10rex
"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUNBjUTc3w9
I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANArlLGt4rtLj
"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAi44wIDhrVh
"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhlPMtVpnrk
"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAkMwP08Ohy
I dashed over to the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyLuuqs7SUX
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9gfdChB0PL
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIVSkZ0ZTUy
It was now 10 PM and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5hivse5s9V
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1107Please respect copyright.PENANA46SxK2Pxpc
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjIDfJTbOzu
they were right now.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7NpHQy7fFG
"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAANNzTgybzd
"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1107Please respect copyright.PENANALmB7ScddgQ
"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjh2F9IQ3Lg
"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAR7k55IUS3L
"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0WfsKyXc5y
"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQU5CSGpJxS
"True."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ll7fVPjJ0
We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuOa6SyaJti
Two bell boys came out 1107Please respect copyright.PENANADg1O0jdJnb
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAld6npCUkTI
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzlcWup8V3z
"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5rgRHv1Gzm
There were so many gift 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxOplJq74RT
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwfUc8TdS7X
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4jAMdGFJOq
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAekshyGuW6G
so pissed.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFkPbvsa3TJ
"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxvVvM9cSfA
"They are downstairs," he answered.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVkiizjkStG
After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZUHWAVzxUj
When the doors flew 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVhlsSPmR3N
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA705olmo1wM
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAKRZwJJ1Z5
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUNFZEB3yZU
"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKyopHCWbv6
"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzrQ4FeJEs6
"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAA50CnOwpbs
As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFu7uq9VTo8
"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1107Please respect copyright.PENANARW1hpgvCp8
"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8nyspsae1H
"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIwQT0oOLrR
"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOQv7qWkWLK
"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4RXWl0F6Go
Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAieAhphbqvG
I raised an eyebrow. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9VSto4YvOZ
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1107Please respect copyright.PENANADU0jgOTZBz
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1107Please respect copyright.PENANADsTxx2uGs9
"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?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANALET3brBstk
"Everyone just missed 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxOvk6Hd1mm
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAbvcWEY3hPl
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1r0omXGaEd
I rolled my eyes at him,1107Please respect copyright.PENANADv4cBgYqqd
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwSvC3Er35E
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzLl6W2Xno4
face when I hugged him.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAI3aYlYJ2fu
"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXoNn2tmAsU
"Wait! You missed TOP 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAY1JvSbsyGS
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQJGbP3UJjF
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgWrE54mFRm
I always loved it when 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfwqi9Boenq
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0VbZboTyn5
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA31ktCfcdwN
"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8BUEmBrRcA
For a moment, that voice1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVcKky1S8l0
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAth9bBa2kfK
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJizGWsmpp3
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANArJmYLD4sql
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1107Please respect copyright.PENANAP6z0NyWaOu
he was still acting the same way he had left.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhxtKfFrDtY
I was really confused. I1107Please respect copyright.PENANAiP0XEsqeXo
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1107Please respect copyright.PENANALl6ihsd2xl
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnsjCOqha3F
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1KA4mO8Nk3
personal and it had to do with me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuZXLBi6NBM
I had no other choice 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKFbzEQTIbk
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKmmG3slo21
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaxOxf2DAJx
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfdU7MFM8iX
"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKuVkN43dUh
By the look on his face,1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPKlyGQkTqa
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMjH52RA9kf
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhxI4Job9bb
going to end pretty tonight.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQRmWhnjX2Y
"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1107Please respect copyright.PENANALsPu2nqAyj
"Ya, I did."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEMDIDrPQ23
"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlKqOilDd9D
"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHvR5BitozY
"Can't wait to hear it,"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvW5ldWon2c
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1107Please respect copyright.PENANArT2FpwnizT
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXUEXTVJpZn
"Anything for you, 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzmFo243N5p
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1107Please respect copyright.PENANASWU2aj3a52
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZdu4pzJMsV
look at Zoey.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmdvRbGxDa4
"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGpyztkNC7D
"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuDNZgMVDSo
"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVYY1XV1vjC
After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeZedm44ac8
"You know Collins is 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoEj4WYavzT
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPUYlLpulhG
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtBLcaOUHte
floor.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyJRh1zhD4k
"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhYdw3FR1Xf
"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3TFM1BO8do
"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmNhvP0OE5y
I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkCf66nih86
"We better sort out all 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmG9V5YwyIr
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvhgpVsT8nB
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1107Please respect copyright.PENANATDYnH4VtfN
floor.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAj9dNpNFTSH
Sorting out all the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA64dt1zPHvf
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1107Please respect copyright.PENANALbE6oI2Pjp
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxFHpKIU3fH
had really bought a lot of stuff.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaTS4K3nFaa
The boys had brought a 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAi6Al8o3Vwv
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9aK4eaaJmo
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaeJzdrKcis
expensive designer shoes.1107Please respect copyright.PENANApBBQLcU1KJ
As for Zoey and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtIAs7MKYV3
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAc58RUgZzLd
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAf3H1O8LVB4
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1107Please respect copyright.PENANABx9m8GymMJ
"G-Dragon was helping me1107Please respect copyright.PENANA46Lc1WVD1F
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1107Please respect copyright.PENANARmzY7g6E8v
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ2QpQm55v
"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1107Please respect copyright.PENANACQhdP0TBS1
"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAb2HWuoaZlM
We were sitting on the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUADYo8Xuqm
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQqNzskqfd0
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyw74cSpBbN
stuff with Collins' too.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHedqNMx1fA
"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgDFE5Uwm1Q
I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAt6hSlLXEzK
"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkFRbTgLWRs
"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvmkge6PlV0
"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAl9neRAb9um
"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuvimsaKWq2
"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqiAcIqbeSe
I distributed the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZqXoSfwkq
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vh5MZaxhb
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1107Please respect copyright.PENANALLrTZBj5mm
was meant for me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAD9AiMhJGEu
"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA01I5khMkMR
"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."1107Please respect copyright.PENANARduglnNrax
"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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZHxUvOnPh
"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAq0o1aL6cB0
When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1107Please respect copyright.PENANAX4i4Mn0Ov0
For a moment, time 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA6HQuGUsPJZ
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAq2DYPDuQT
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAL1h8Y83WU
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtDI50E1cGM
mess.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAalmb4P8ZgV
"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvFi5lj4fTN
"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHtzRokXOQQ
"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFzSi4o21Tn
"Hide," Zoey whispered.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdhGyRy0AJh
For me, it kind of felt 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtoCc5KYw8y
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQRvqukOYzz
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIx6JRrOllY
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMSb7KEYfjH
When Collins came to the1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9noRZRqSJB
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXFcbvroc2p
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7cyUyuoD96
he just couldn't.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjqFbuDNi7w
"Hey, Collins," I said.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAW67ZSS75OZ
"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAiZdMBYLjeG
"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAumlKvzmjUe
Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUPPiSF0sFP
"Thanks."1107Please respect copyright.PENANApWYjxEVIVd
"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANABKbp9MKGrw
"Who?" I asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYm6q1Y9uJR
"You know who I'm talking about."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAShU0DjYlx4
"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfa6tFtuIjw
"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4jROzPCczN
Collins went over to the1107Please respect copyright.PENANAH3wMKGosGu
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIu7HnMICoE
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyZDDbkYVIq
up at him.1107Please respect copyright.PENANACzfZ1O95zE
"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuYNUEuAY4l
"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAARvX6CCwT6
Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjIIwuLe2zQ
"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJY7Fr83Av9
"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1107Please respect copyright.PENANArSbBW2HL7V
"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7wwCzOM2Hl
"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvQDemkIXzO
"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQglrhduAqy
"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOqSDnAwPIn
"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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAd9AwdIpmky
"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZwckSFrxv1
"Here, we brought you an1107Please respect copyright.PENANA94jkNQxbow
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAr0nTcuFdQ8
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlfhCq5u6Nk
"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmEl9dQySv2
"Thanks," said Collins, 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1411GSfPlY
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1107Please respect copyright.PENANAx1hWcziFG2
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeYANfX4Qbo
Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlzA388J7xR
"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjldLnwVIFh
Lee was right. Collins 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHcDerS9bVO
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAumGiGHaRGh
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAovllNUIU3T
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1107Please respect copyright.PENANAchLJupaZEV
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1107Please respect copyright.PENANALh0OmlnXwj
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKFjuwy6kB1
"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1107Please respect copyright.PENANArPhKPtls5C
We continued sorting out1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWzh74qyC8Y
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxHU4axemk8
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyImV6hKI1I
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPxYkR5EA8r
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZIUey27vAh
already too late and we all needed to rest.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmIGIgRDcH2
We hadn't managed to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAizkATOVvwO
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3WFW35Yyt3
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5O3v99389q
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyxL59QJ8fn
course.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyaKmWJsLYt
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANABnnePKKM5Z
"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA6uA7JhgMFA
Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuSfIj0V8XO
"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmzb9Cb4NXr
"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyuFrN0RNxz
I looked at her with an 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnNziay9FAh
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8iUrPpjhZU
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1107Please respect copyright.PENANABo8PvEfhpz
"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANArZVmUvwVXH
"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5fXYIrlCKQ
"Fine?" I looked at 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzIBIzMCjCM
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANACGtZEnrmAM
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA29prmO4NJR
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA6ALiGDabgI
"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaIZ0suVW7Q
"Tell me, please!" I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANATENPIj0mB8
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vs6KFp3fw
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAp8X1yQituH
tell me something. So tell me!"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ2knbnPpl
"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAn9DlXuWcSo
"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJRq0W5z0ey
"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVENb3jcVYG
"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."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5ja2QR9rya
Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0OqK8O2ciJ
I felt really excited 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAbqCt9LG5fL
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAV1kCdZni72
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1107Please respect copyright.PENANADBcbrQumwy
"I don't know how I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANABudjHxM2cr
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUFtKgIy2P2
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsXgZmnc1aM
Tower."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAe6NQ9jyFXJ
"Ya, I saw the picture. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGQHizeIldU
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5LGG6EjhIB
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA95qEHn2FG5
"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANACmWDQnycJI
"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPQKHJRpwt2
"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."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUw6agEhZ5l
"What?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5PVV3g8QVE
"When we got to the top 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZfMofu8CCT
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkIjdSiS13c
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlLUtZGwSrc
others had left and it was just GD and I."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAU04oD2P9i5
My eyes grew wide. I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAH2R7nfgkhK
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOUfIFtf91o
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHx57tilijp
"You two kissed."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqbvt2dasWb
"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAU1coSW7tH7
"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzryl2W7hAs
"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVnWKYvwux4
"Well, you were in one 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmUKNn7csnw
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1107Please respect copyright.PENANAg9tM3yjV6Q
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaxtqB4wEvs
"Smart."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0KcnYthhoa
"Thanks. So, how was it?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsuvszgkgsa
Zoey smiled like a fool,1107Please respect copyright.PENANADCqdT4BL5x
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMNoH86JX8U
it was so magical at the same time."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPMswRbpgPB
I couldn't help but 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEQLe44leRw
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3MX8Mm3wvR
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAf0i0dzpmw6
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzttZ7qy7SU
everyone at the prom.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA42yuC8qDtB
"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0BlbuMz01j
"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAntkNcbMqTp
"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAv7nIcUvycL
"And? Anything else? 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwJkYNEHmQ5
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgIL4GERqzZ
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqzSfn9fQXO
"When we were on top of 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhaPvcZYwnr
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhdzQ6DUtgm
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAG8rofxnQSd
Well that's a bummer. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtnRdnb5qmj
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAu0k2SyGJgN
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHvHH36Rif8
really liked Zoey and not me?1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjYgHd3GhoP
I brushed that off. Why 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtxVjpHEdx8
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1107Please respect copyright.PENANAP3MolcIGdh
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2E9v8d8GHy
hopes up with it.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtofCoPP4pz
"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxuEC9Iywn8
"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1107Please respect copyright.PENANARcXyPcNxL5
"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHDy4WTN3xN
"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1107Please respect copyright.PENANALfbUMmlnWY
"Thanks, Sam."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAt0z5fBJfhe
"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsJzGc1bIUI
"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdyITQ7h6Wj
I left Mr Panda on the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAk5Iz6GXEU5
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdh7NxIUFEk
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1107Please respect copyright.PENANATLdHOoPqEo
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcKKitJJMct
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMLQLrQLUDX
"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4En4SGNdST
"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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA96Uho5B74W
I laid my head on the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0HSExCpuot
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANApgDFkw6nr2
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxzuGFeaGBd
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAveBvmNREfC
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgHFiWPBWok
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqirxGurYEc
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwfQ1e9v3UI
have been.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4ncFruTi1V
Zoey would have only 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAb8O8jclG1m
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQY9BTmy9vm
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKqkt1sEKzh
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQypZLWhN7s
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA6dhO08a8hM
I pulled Mr Panda closer1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUB7bMAM3w9
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcn9wzMaB86
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfPN7Vzhrmc
***1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWNoP5kmGIl
I was given a round of 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3E1s72ajIG
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoeoFi5Wo8P
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAALXvxplStr
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwBsLBkh8uo
"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7H4y9R8Oys
"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1107Please respect copyright.PENANApdeazxHl0X
"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdLNc32ySba
"Then you better eat 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdYiEsSpHWP
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjgLN700diZ
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1107Please respect copyright.PENANACsoqL2L2Xg
We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFMr4H437c3
"I can't wait for us to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIXJIzBATQy
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsFsQ91Nn8Y
beside me. I could only tell why.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXEm2PBBs8h
Christine who sat 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7oQH0H00tT
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXiVxID25ZK
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAK3KghW5FOM
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHhrr1NjZYV
and G-Dragon.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvLJPWTYxTL
When we were done 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxzPuOUPYM1
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1107Please respect copyright.PENANApe23K5TUCa
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZLxvnUnHtV
"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAz13Qt7VkV
"What is it, Zoey?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANANqVKh1NG5K
"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVOAuWP01Yr
Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAePCioylg8V
"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAq3LvDtIztW
"That's the problem," 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKy0x1S7Tvn
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAr6NQwMBliQ
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAx89yr5VU4Q
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qk1bJvpxo
Mike turned away and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANALEyg5B2aym
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFAwnAO0NR4
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1107Please respect copyright.PENANArX6IFtrb3y
something?1107Please respect copyright.PENANAudr9KbWwRO
"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAa6cIGgMVq2
We agreed with Christine1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjoawNs5gdB
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAbx2t5fGjHB
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyzQc03xMNN
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAbyfohHCAS6
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaNFnzdPPYq
"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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwMQ93u5s7J
"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAbxKwjCTISX
"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1107Please respect copyright.PENANATglAXvglUp
"I also feel like I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2eYA9ZUKK
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFDeV3tVwyf
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2ne5qAsZ7
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkGbrKIWZfF
"Do you think we should 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUQhmxOCuFk
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfqa4WXTXYP
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKXDMnDmINi
"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2kxpMH6uy4
"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANASoSDtTwlCN
"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKOqdYVJyW0
"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANA61WL0wuvzL
I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZzwSVpzql
"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdwdZYLLdKg
"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoYGC5duRYL
Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9OLipszMxi
I stood up from the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1MMlxdqQsb
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYGK1qxLKL0
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjfj1B8e0lL
conversation.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAu54jUFl6aL
When I went back, I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAURgKlyIsU5
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaZHp4huHnm
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqDLNqvjPV4
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgAvMk8oSZA
"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAa3a96Iqc8S
"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkdQlo5FBdU
"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAW3SFMPVJTf
"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVOTn3sIrJ3
"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvbovbSMYIY
"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1107Please respect copyright.PENANARKHzw5Cwxl
"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAokdK8Fdkrp
G-Dragon gave me a weird1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgFy91ijZNH
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXNhPN6k960
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA212lIyKLwv
took their place on the couch.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoA3tKtGV2i
"Christine and Daesung, I1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaR5in79gmZ
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAt0ygw7HgYy
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7HNuxk2HqQ
"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeeOn2QWFHI
"Ya, we will sing the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFzntsXOsW5
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAajfLU8zNDG
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1107Please respect copyright.PENANABtOw4W1bLp
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5jhwqjQB3o
producer has the lyrics printed out."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXyGD6xYrnx
"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUbQPVNEoWu
I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2YUgm4rpfs
Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAK4qfv1e7LX
Then we all went over 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAspF8OdmU5d
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXCZCaqrS9H
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1107Please respect copyright.PENANArSasXR3DIP
"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhJxc22XY94
"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAa0c6a4v6gf
"Me too," said TOP.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlveH1Kdqyb
"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwsMyR6sJaj
"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhEKGToINUv
I didn't look up at him 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOzzVmnbo3w
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1kK2nqQ3iv
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoSaVPaQfor
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQba5OUQRP1
"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOcVG6eyOGc
I started to relax my 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGLf24MRYA4
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2KDshez5qY
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqurzi1PTx7
"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA6RyymdvSUF
"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAT7tsFJbKlh
G-Dragon came to sit 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXCJwPDcycB
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqInxkoeiOL
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKy8r1kLyso
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1107Please respect copyright.PENANApV9TyO9bQI
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1107Please respect copyright.PENANAztJKNkRPV0
"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJQmQ6T0y4G
"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWmSzRsgFUg
G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAU3G7V41kr3
"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAwnMouFxgF
"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAv741GAmqqS
"Really?" the music producer asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAc0dQXJR8B6
"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAM7a6knYe9M
"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcmOreYCZWI
"Give him a chance, 1107Please respect copyright.PENANANPsTPtJBS4
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlfxTJqW5PB
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ0lNve2fd
headphones and put them on.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtT1b4okmHh
"Okay, this is 1107Please respect copyright.PENANATJJis2QmEE
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAB2YaU2kERV
join them and see what needs some changing."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyOFpFmBNJA
I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAiu2yNX2uF9
"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqiz80t6aZJ
"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAijHarlk04i
The others looked at me 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIEjxrkr1S1
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1107Please respect copyright.PENANAbJOU11yIuc
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKgfKwLCyZ5
"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoiT7LsoAre
"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIa3Dj1zzsV
"That's going to be a 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAI9Zwl7P0eB
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFk5GDrDq40
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAH5uMNzq0Gz
"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZbSoDbLHkL
Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlBQBBB0M6T
"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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcl1iwHnkWL
I looked over at Zoey 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA74jMckCzNx
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1107Please respect copyright.PENANA35Up9NLGuW
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1107Please respect copyright.PENANACymZYytaB0
I put a stool in front 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVEkxfKGm7r
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwp8uetEJ5A
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKjC3E59Bca
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeAiiG7sQ4z
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdFY80xwJhG
others.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAH9TaYxZ0Vl
"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1107Please respect copyright.PENANACuSSWy1v20
Taeyang and I sung the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANASn3rH8ub74
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z2BvEvFMS
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcPpwPsHHa7
great and everyone cheered.1107Please respect copyright.PENANADX5xV7PmmN
"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhKTePbTyjB
"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1107Please respect copyright.PENANABxYyiE5a2P
"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaIQxuzjcXi
TOP started to rap the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAA1LUDhKyBN
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaKm8R5awaW
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1107Please respect copyright.PENANA6lXGGAToJD
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2yRWMztM20
Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAbGWaA7iQfS
"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIFNVvCAUmx
"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXmL9JD6GOc
"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5DWk9RWfx
Daniel and Seungri sung 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxrESS788Hj
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANASI1AOZVfFX
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMwc96wcdmK
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1107Please respect copyright.PENANALfucv1Y4oo
clapped for themselves and cheered.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAer8PrqfdEE
"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAO0oglSQBdf
"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAn6f0axHtFS
I almost fell off the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcHn59asgyb
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIeZWclwE4U
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4ICeqwb6B0
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWsjr9hKAP4
We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfw47LLs5dr
"I have to say, you all 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAj0SoW7BPsE
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYNCTRe3MZ3
smile. "Keep up the good work."1107Please respect copyright.PENANASNWuJiYO2p
"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJq280KCZLm
"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAbWw7IigFJ
No one said anything. We1107Please respect copyright.PENANAniwXnwEbk3
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAft7JZVtQxG
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANACCSRkQX4yZ
talking.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4e1BTff5x6
"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIvvVAo7AZG
"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAP2AZXzUIQ8
That, I couldn't answer.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAC1JUklWqfB
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHvqVl2dvve
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAh0sUJYgalI
"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAixrkOdqukx
"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoz3HsVaFOP
"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1107Please respect copyright.PENANACgogP0kNaN
"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnyvkroEUUR
"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuCgmF0i4ru
"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYekiqTemZJ
The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1107Please respect copyright.PENANARomrrf3R7K
"I want them back here 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzOe02PApug
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8Fz0FRNskk
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAazgssZTLgk
I gulped as I felt the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkvsylZIR33
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIdnDoNHdra
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAv54h6ZmgrD
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1rG7BP2gF9
No one said anything 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAJZBpobMLu
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAconbjwQckj
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8pZQXjnu7B
"Where could they have 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJZsIgcDoOI
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1107Please respect copyright.PENANALlN9lIIspH
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnS2aks1E3V
"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAq3GIuQiPvp
"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdsawJL2Bj1
"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhYBDpoF5CH
"Then we better start 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAq4DMrKxoVI
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAbfbNV0WNcI
looking for them will be difficult."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxhuxsUO5pn
We all agreed to split 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMHJtspJcBk
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhv6Nl9xbgx
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAp5XZCp7iA
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgHkVlC7kaX
All the studio rooms 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeroLYm7n3G
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuCikQ3jCa0
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZfqOH00XNC
"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAd2mgvsgK9T
I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0zNXK0Jl42
"Almost fifteen minutes."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAx8YqoGJYDI
"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ5LACiipd
He nodded and pulled out1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoZaKPjkS1B
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAReIfkyD4XH
walked out of it and came towards us.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMsgo3Lp4lB
"Anything?" Daniel asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVmN3rXzKa8
"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAypTAvcea5u
"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAILAgInepxn
"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1107Please respect copyright.PENANApmgRRxHf5X
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlRUpZ3LhUk
"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1107Please respect copyright.PENANALJSQ1p64RV
"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1107Please respect copyright.PENANACY58ezCmnR
"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMIcVsIi0cR
"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtgInH0G8jD
"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAohZtVX5QTh
I hadn't said a word 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOnRxPvfJXH
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwlHppEt2Cg
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXFfeFLSive
but worry.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzyAoVwz4z2
"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAl9MsB0VHbb
"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAI5ubNVkKlg
Daesung motioned his 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAITJhsXVukZ
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAc1kjKjCQZt
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAET9NfqiY6V
"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1azf9sH6D8
Taeyang and the music 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2oL5uYX9zf
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvhBrTzCh50
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqVjoBlvNHk
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkweMuSoVDt
and angry at the same time.1107Please respect copyright.PENANApkAzm38fU0
"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeq5Lw0kpHT
I looked over at Daesung1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlCa8hsNn0z
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkyUabdLHch
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfMdrwgR0rh
the play button.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoJvXzhTWT2
***1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjO0VDiUJRv
"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5acyESwuc5
I came crushing back 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1G3iKemDoC
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAndlL6qlTR
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAy1ch91Snfn
I had so many mixed 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxUu3fochFz
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2UNRbKNa1f
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1107Please respect copyright.PENANASoKnHVLtgl
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0AmoFQ1Mvg
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPRvpoPYPvw
I could tell that the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJP8YEXFEqc
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAb6qG9iUtF7
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeLY9RUuI01
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9kHupcSaS3
"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFzBgdmGSDn
"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAolAx2E85nH
"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAR3MybuyLnA
"They went out without taking you guys along?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vyf4KELBz
I folded my arms and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA36LcIGmLcz
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFIFBZYNpZ3
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjabty1ApJm
"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAidnyc2UBKG
"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAz6Nldp0sPH
I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgdV9gNzjPq
"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfyTqE2VInK
"No, we haven't heard it yet."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcp5f2621bt
I could feel the others 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAv63uFyI3Bb
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGFFoC1Zrbk
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8gyHSVJmma
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAo4SqCyLIPF
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVS1VGDta8g
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyDK4Uoy3X3
"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKNTbrGrV5B
"Okay." I nodded my head.1107Please respect copyright.PENANArxEoC6NmUk
When Yang Hyun-suk left,1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ1Ga0xtaj
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfOakP8sd4i
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqbeyxj7FgJ
"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1107Please respect copyright.PENANACFUGtBuxgL
"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAD7sV2QqVHF
"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqcIsvm1VqV
"Not until I hear what 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA29ecQFDaMq
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwNJHwFcLR0
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxcaHIY5Bvp
trying to calm down.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6YjW8Mpzz
"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfeNlxZX0LH
"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1107Please respect copyright.PENANANVlReRppcM
"So that we could get 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsPT580dGL9
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAuUMLj0rvua
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAA7klZFTWQb
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnGu7EnZzvu
"I agree with Sam," said1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjGm8yBF8wU
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxePHsykeTB
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgCKgsoMD7H
"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA6O8Vnq4Qur
"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAf0UCQmUvQl
The rest of the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA9rJ1uiZb9Y
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4LUpyaPwnu
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxcEZ7V4BMh
playing cards.1107Please respect copyright.PENANALIQjrzu6Y1
I was leaning my chin on1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzIgZb6wWcN
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1107Please respect copyright.PENANApLKggGCN5w
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjDX9JIsuxX
especially to me.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAR50cAwLw16
Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAZLnjWkrtV
I suddenly sat upright 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5qt91B8go6
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAAtopqdGBr
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1107Please respect copyright.PENANATeYNLqgM3x
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEQugAAXzjE
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1107Please respect copyright.PENANATWbmtUXuiJ
"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAA8dmv0iwek
"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAH2QnX8tzvi
"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcuBYtkzLcC
"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXP97ih2ukS
"Maybe we can just order1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwrJ6fIC40y
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0dMXlCU70
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAdd3gvbfxaN
"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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWyDgQR0hJe
"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZz3hlz7o2K
"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1107Please respect copyright.PENANANY7MTZheXo
"I heard that Zoey and 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Q4elpp9A
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4QQlVrYuLY
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHw610uSRU0
"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1107Please respect copyright.PENANADvncUIL1pc
"Then it's a good thing 1107Please respect copyright.PENANARkHfwndveC
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1107Please respect copyright.PENANASd3ErsLWBP
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcjQBjcZ8KM
Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAlp15imSCfI
"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAY1Z8tmmv3Z
Everyone soon dropped 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4xM76k48GI
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA93SuFniUBP
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOuNrTrYAXL
I had never eaten pizza 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAm65WfCnXGJ
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAap7ub1BpTS
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5euWB9hWkw
We were done finishing 1107Please respect copyright.PENANABqnWnUx0kz
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgwenVVZ7X8
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeZQIXPPaom
"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnsN1Jxri79
"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAboxcmVhncP
We were huddled up on 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAH5IMNSe6oY
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxXN1TRuzW9
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2hbREobEpK
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJhYM9EvhoG
"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnjlpi4rwq2
"You lied? About what?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOi93xbiFHD
"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWGrTcJvPms
"But why?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjVkwqJAjMk
"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."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAv2YOqXd0gG
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?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5fOgWgCndM
I didn't expect Lee to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAr69KRXsuEg
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAztg0NXQxsN
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeEvn4FCn13
"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtPn46vlUYK
"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAE3m08lRfnW
I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAoymxOZpOFy
"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAshWLt8Erd0
I stood up from the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAd2hFJ1XIE5
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnYBsSiOZhI
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAp00c0nOHcY
later.1107Please respect copyright.PENANATj4xtdV9dN
Trying to find the right1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaz3qgCLsOK
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1107Please respect copyright.PENANApyeHuSCZTo
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAr2qvXYXhwo
what for, was the question in mind.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQZKMfQz2z9
"Aren't you going to 1107Please respect copyright.PENANANXQTPNl03d
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvvYcq3xg7C
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAR7uiI8FmvA
"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."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0oAuX7mmUe
"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANApmhlV1iF7W
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEfRpQEP57t
Lee went on to look at 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGfVjCMyY8n
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA5Elh6WlYve
just thought they might be arguing again."1107Please respect copyright.PENANACLzYFdMgBN
"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1107Please respect copyright.PENANALqgv26fxsB
"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANACOQAiDiXxP
"I don't even know what 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjsNbl5F04L
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYJrFQqwEsP
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAYZQdFhQJjn
"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAK40Jw9qDQ0
No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWukQAPSRUn
"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFqxW9Ofhgx
"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmCusPzTIkt
Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAPcadcQwJdm
It only took five 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAJaJvQxQnqV
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1107Please respect copyright.PENANAz15qN10txN
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAxGD74FyHQ9
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAT2C62VZRt9
"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1107Please respect copyright.PENANApKBgjCUqsZ
When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAv4mDC4iquE
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANApTd1sHd3pY
"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAI8rYMnrMFa
"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOqz28nyPgf
"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAF76WQeAPa0
"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4wCumZsScZ
"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAornKXZWgi5
"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvhOpQQBZRF
"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtt4Y2XkMXD
"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8t9UONyYiu
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAu0AYxtZo7S
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeYhGne6xrz
"Why did you this?" I asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAzkepYBAQfW
"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwEkC2dqDu0
"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."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHrkwnKwVZh
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANArDl7JY0Vpw
"The instrumental is in 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAle1gmMbsE8
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVSIS3g4nVR
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAFEXgFMaci
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAEWKsoE7PK
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA6nfZTTkbhM
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA6y882rtB8S
pissed."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAD4Y4HwrkiO
"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."1107Please respect copyright.PENANACMCaLqmTqr
"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQKaW75TSDE
"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAB1UfvpJslB
I looked at Zoey and she1107Please respect copyright.PENANA3OQK79Kn5U
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7FA4rphss8
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtntAFj7nQn
was mad at me for.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXn7VYgzMZM
"Now is not the right 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXZ3DcWb1Fk
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1107Please respect copyright.PENANAns6CIOrVm6
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAAN7Im30sFV
understand.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAsgLI8O1cA0
Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhhSx6gFM3r
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA2HDzulfkpX
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQES7iuFOqz
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHYWCXR1hL9
"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."1107Please respect copyright.PENANApl2E8bauPh
I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEXrvJcie56
"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWepn0qjqrM
Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcTKzzQNMFq
"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAWv8utCGSZ3
"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAbHRCL9qR88
"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGSNoY4PKXY
"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAiF3adU4GVF
I paused with my mouth 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAK8ogJWEwOw
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAnxkjxHpKrc
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1107Please respect copyright.PENANAHKZ3voEWJU
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAFVKL1dGhBc
I looked at G-Dragon and1107Please respect copyright.PENANAqyWtY4LdhN
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1107Please respect copyright.PENANAD2VU4n4o2E
face wondering what he was thinking.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1ThScxq450
"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAUpOIZBG6r0
"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAfmScITIxLU
"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1ExHyfG7rc
I smiled and Seungri 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7in85OSxWn
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAKdUufFKMyq
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1107Please respect copyright.PENANASuWbFjsbAG
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZTwFtHrmGw
"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAeKrjDiz0H2
I smiled a little more. 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAhWRWr3Z7dd
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyL9ANjdZSe
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAgQfRDMvqON
were at war again.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAA7NMlxQ1NT
"But we can't start 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA7KDEOYHbVF
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA921qFcdaG2
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAO3xcIxyMaT
I sat upright and alert.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA0qBh529lzt
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGGesXt4yd3
have to record the track the day after?"1107Please respect copyright.PENANAVsUyDEwq3h
"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8BShopsfPr
"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAvpxD5MR7Iq
"But why didn't you tell1107Please respect copyright.PENANAMsx44C3Elf
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAcNH7R4Qmsj
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAP1fyGuNdMX
"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1107Please respect copyright.PENANANZqN4OaYFd
"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAt7Ao28dAZ1
"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA8PCJGbiwFy
"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmW1hcFfMJ7
"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAmLDCt8fu9t
"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1107Please respect copyright.PENANATdg3oyqnPQ
"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAR1FL0TVeXd
"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAIr4Vczqbf9
"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAOqaNAs5qIn
It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1107Please respect copyright.PENANALiNOl42tR9
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtF0zrmN9Qo
I turned to look at him 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAkHFZQRIy1c
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtwd3LYahtQ
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAynZabuTQsM
me like that.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAGbxvhn4K8u
"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1107Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0uYSutx9P
"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXuXDxNvdj5
"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA1smDGFG38m
"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAZM3r4IDeLl
"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1107Please respect copyright.PENANARzAbEoO4IH
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAEi8NecGCXq
We looked at each other 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAtbID3jy0ja
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1107Please respect copyright.PENANAwm6mFjarhZ
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1107Please respect copyright.PENANA4UAYHX5Nkn
Maybe he also felt the same.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAjOtpOQYvzi
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.1107Please respect copyright.PENANAaDHCrtw85o
I then realised that I 1107Please respect copyright.PENANA86fqdezmxx
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAXEuiJcf6Oi
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1107Please respect copyright.PENANAyLhjbOE8Bk
another time.
