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

My body ached all over 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaaD8igCGR
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuS1ZAYsGh
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg5GPP0SOC
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsEoyXPlxE
bed.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjLOFXjMpf

I scratched my head as I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lY1aaGLXt
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFEhvJ02WI
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56w7CAodfJ
he found me here.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzAxwxj0Xr

I slowly stood up and I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl9X1JLDrv
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1MWV12IiG
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZyvsbW241
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQPXaWMNLO

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx69NKv9Tv

I almost jumped in 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUd9Mc0zoF
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpXfGf4TYT
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GJrHSHqGx
obviously reading the news online.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm1Ym6zS29

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IEMfKLdCv

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovIPfgudMs

"'Don't tire yourself 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJMqrds2ON
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ6DAsWKFb
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDchgJRUnV

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ire04NApX

"Oh, you were listening?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbSWok2xzW

"Ya, you kept on playing1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAaAfZkseN
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXL3TcJvq0
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1bCmbDDX2

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq6kUvtwwr

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ9BAbReOa

"For covering me with a blanket."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWnvDGpTO6

Collins looked at me 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFQw2V19ic
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh9d0stotc
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyuQDeFoKu

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXUtBwsFmR

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrt0MXCilK

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP0SFdwBGF

"Me too."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6gLnqujPk

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WgYNbqmxy

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKJjXblAex

"Going to take a shower," I said.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDRG7AZ0Ax

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSomkdRkCxy

After I freshened myself1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekWm2VaZIg
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWW8gffztL
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26kbpMtpfp
Collins was still on his tablet.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoWvlADiGO

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi5bX00yi8

"Nope. Just looking at 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FWMic74ZQ
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJN4PE4Fbm
coming back late at night with the others."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWDa7tSphd

"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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLv0ytiEMs

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWGaren6Jh

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9W6sNdJw3

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCct1j3QIWr

Collins handed his 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D6N7VNVOG
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWRhNtd1br
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r93nVnTje
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi5PfREeCp
having a great time.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx7MCR79MS

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMwx1561Ft

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojgv7EfW69

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4eyfG255E

"They should have as 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCPtzgNLh4
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40RBqEfRCC
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVlP4QYcRs

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrXtSWgNGb

"No, it's not about the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXhELXPqHl
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWlYUEWSBt
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrwIQmkEI9

I looked at Lee who sat 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYfq0qMxfD
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt3ireRLwq
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42ICECIZZT
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdU0cqiN7o

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQbC4AKu2q

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK4S1XEpsq

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVY8SO3J1X

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYVtUa9EXI

"If I tell you, I'll 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VfNqUpEUW
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn0ZgXIE1n
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbclH9YmnWn

Collins got up from his 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT04K2F6VYG
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7xahOCHSA
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVNtJu6LhY
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF9qs7Dmhf

"What do you know?" I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV6o47ieHz
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin5Z7VkKNE
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEykLZoMcQ2
detective asking questions to a criminal.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9tzEFzEUG

"I don't know," Lee 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1KfkwYg77
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL5fXGc4NK
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbTOXjk4D5

I knew something was up 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8pJjP5edx
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WcHRHNb7W
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZa4lP5Y0O

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9h7MDoELq

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3p1gyB008

"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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyw9ESFzVO

"Hey, what's wrong?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQejShQLNp5

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWaCulp3Bw

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdv6OZ8NAZ

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHVHjZZ5sj

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcahYgcotRU

"Well, kind of," I said 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tSqBU1mqw
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D8Av8MF0n
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul3TSuxObq

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2I7LkvM7S

"Okay."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xdTNE2vRn

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRfUJsNNsJ

Lee, Collins and I soon 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuZJSJZunV
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn6lWIe4u3
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31dMVBUzO2
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb64Qi8ICg
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNppqIQ84i
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0N7JDsqXF

I was waiting in th 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWCpVmszsC
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhCtOIymUg
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUNyUdQkUE
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21OULDW34k
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLnyOusr1E

I was pacing up and down1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgorz60A7f
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuQj7Seo7p
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf3rEPZd25
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFSAw7FYUa
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmRskIwYxV
and I was so nervous.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdgExoBUoU

"Here she is," said Lee,1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUrIzjAklU
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xjvXdRlO5
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3ON6tx4EK
you, Tae."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9zx5Dd3S7

I frowned at Lee and I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK4G15gXBn
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkDsztlzhC
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJoDgfCwG7
friend.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSHe4dyokJ

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcLGWfqNsF

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xfkq8R8lD

"I told Taeyang that I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA3I4ni66l
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5xQuquA28
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksoXE7VNGs

"Our manager called me 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDWw5SrbCH
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cemojkhPU
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJkHQdSPSB
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4nhThp7cm

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W9wfqcZCj

"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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HKUefW43e

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFMBl4OLWB

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDCPy6S3Rp

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2bYFFvENO

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJjGq88hBO

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxS0V9b0Lj

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckn4WhQti3

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfYH1F0mG1

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJta0kkZWA

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsayomHo8G0

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeStHBV2koK

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqoEroYRjM

"Sure."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsc8wA0p35

I gave Taeyang my 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1yuiORRxz
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CKHhWXSdl
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLtC2WPnYM
cute together.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfer5iT7c6

"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."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhg0LzIamP

"Thanks. I was singing 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PEbgI42Nu
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UkjiUtVFR
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz2NAmPypr
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGFqZSB0R4

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5v9WXe1Wb

"Well...not really," I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7KIcGegdq
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PwU3DffTd
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKkQhDI9qd

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpbvc2tQ5h

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa67RpVGqiK

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ798zMVaV

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Pb5wyUxB

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcccJFaFyyo

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrHpCrbAYk

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEAHiDmdwh

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIswECVczbb

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWlFf9dASP

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiIAQlwXib

"Right now."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxpIXxuy3j

We all turned towards 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrnE2oLPxb
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgG8lhFNTn
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5XUfnu3Ac

When everyone got 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDtSoVpQtI
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ys89JKgJj
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PKdLTBBwi
run out of the room.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRbFHwNmP5

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3LOpdIEMg

I nodded my head and my 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mFfQTWJX9
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqkX036l14
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxduPPYboUz
ever got to play it.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ7PN9e0Mh

I felt a break of sweat 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNPeWUil3L
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGmf8I0t2z
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZT4utbAet
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wd6ait7EL
strung the strings on the guitar.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM02ah5xqh

I started to sing as I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNBskzEZxF
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FsbxUwwRl
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoxGerGyeL
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL4UImAqgY
didn't. Well, I hope so.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Uym8qUIB

As soon as I was done 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgGffh66rJ
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBkGi24sip
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcsQasDw41
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGifvVRjTXd
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKW4GLmzbG
hoped they liked it.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS0aFmHSiL

The studio was still 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXbx0Hmapg
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAg1scElU4
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWaemzsWdS
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW5FjixcOi

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIjWIsR9TB
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuEZntwZHi
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWRE9pbba7

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChepUx7uGK

This was it. The hammer 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u4ssYvohw
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1JK2696hZ
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6adD1s5lJN

"....incredible."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmb3sUaxNJ

I opened my eyes and I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNllS8ltHez
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3MLczmjjK
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ws9jO0ZpY
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtnIuTY2tR
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdu7pAbuL5

"I've to admit, when 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXF5cZRLem
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun72KceHEd
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIfY1PvwnM

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUoqIooBvo

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGpFfUHlSh

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUUpLdEWeV

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7R3smVoDg

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMeIZD8IAD

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5swgiOALJr

I couldn't stop smiling 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oxzuQQfVh
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB4RvBFPT3
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo0oRAzNkL
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBMOa5g7Jh
good voice and a golden one.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqebFdEYDp0

Immediately our managers1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuN5sBsiXI
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRk80StkyQ
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA3tSWu0ZJ
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGuSc6NTo2
musical instruments.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSo1YV2i5i

This was always the hard1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCNp8T7wWV
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYJdFxx8Xm
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfterm11SH
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hv9rQvJiS
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkfbwBGyxO

An hour had passed and I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oZzNGbeUJ
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxhn66lPGi
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK9W8n3h8t
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9iCqJzJoT
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHETGFLVJdA
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxQI5t2iwy

"It's been an hour and I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg5rdLy6pW
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UFwoLzuzK
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRtLdSfibC

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraxKnQW8RM

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPmx3vTPpd

"Trust me, you're so 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNm49d5NIQ
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftQlpRc5Xb
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC5Ky4NZBY

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10BHtdWmjN

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHcfb3S2jI

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXCxpCNjBP

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL8vLCAOQT

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1UgMLScaI

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iPBhmEac3

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MoEvxhTsC

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjejNuslNO4
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JersrUrJv
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU7kpibbgZ
masseur."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtxlrJTp3r

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrMdAzXoFg

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fB9pcqBrV

The music producer soon 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaw9RM4Aqh
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD52sXFB63
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHtRKWDmKy
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUed8JU9MN6
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZP892UKXz
recording the track.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxPv8p1ia7

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq2oZex0yd

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIHuj8JyoF

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iHTeTF4Kr

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Jf4BHJdg

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ai0TjdDTa

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ61sFn9Tx

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZAojZC1Oj
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9euheSk6ds
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQRDc23pfE

"Let me guess, you're 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQRTsD9ioP
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkv8uMBYfs
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ry8s4aA1E

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDLqZlOGwc

Something told me his 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLB49ppVpJ
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebuL3jUktA
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrOH32N1lP
always does.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBDljgNKjM

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlcz5aXp8c

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkV3v0DXfK

It was late in the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqNAg7NQ8n
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso33sWN2dx
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlOqG9LmaO
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc2RnT375G
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoMmI2l3fj

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn9ZGHLBmw

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8yad2PKQb

I looked beside him and I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZms4xIQuy
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5fB2twT5e
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIeoAizI5U
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg1N0Ruf3E
leaning my head on the console.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9gr6A670R

"I always hate this part1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU93CR9TLh9
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytkwWjeOQ6
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI06vgxcOLk
console.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLMUCy7itI

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPQ2p2UhVP

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoWWI7gYGE

"I wonder what time."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8ZQfwOwGp

"Wait." I pushed my head1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkk26l280B
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDvojyOoR5
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSVtCc2vK0
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoWR5s1ny0

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQLQfS58LA

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhDaEtLbcv

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKs7GGXtpr

"I didn't sleep well 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViyxvm9XdV
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl4JzQfqbC
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uQsL4hs5l

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt64FnnRVW

"You're right." I soon 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxWyRdndz1
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSU5qUt50u
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinB0lwW5oB

"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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRqj7GNyd0

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TzUUtDsVf

"Alright. Thanks."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu426r56lP

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V9MIvcLLH

"And so will I," said Seungri.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWuQ3IxsHi

"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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdpP4gzsSX

Immediately I left the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gJ0Z3dsXR
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX28aabO1g
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DX3tRQU7x

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Rv2KB9Xh

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY7ruwsHBX

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq98hmOad1k

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs4qIMpYkX
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLKfKbNPzZ
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgftkzSbHxW

The next thing I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsZz0kB2AK
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO8ZJxWvzR
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP3t15hFn7
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKgYVJfKHI

I woke up by the sound 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90RQqkvpYc
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5EW1YSiRQ
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB5PZ77F1T
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEAQzaE5rE
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsF1nJPNvh

I reached out for the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhrEctngIC
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRGqHGYggT
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvZwhM2OU7
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxXISDrcS6

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FsMGaGEcn

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfmwispg4m

"I could hear it ringing1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpMqjQO9nc
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFkIIYflAT
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0y7KTuLyW

"Thanks," I said as I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUn8aYYI7l
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadLTgu3Y2n
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzOseI6Xfl

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3DfQyHcoq

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIlWlHV5EE

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lkQlxSoYO

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrHu9lQfQc

Lee left the room and I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR8fhEquGr
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjU2YmGUbY
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85cwLKKFMn

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQlKObEWj8

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eAsi9PDOX

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK18LpCcXtg

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirUMoEmFAM

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO794tanlm

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZdIeFlZqQ

I dashed over to the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwasgdU3f7
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEOBNoJhk3
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UTUcQWhXo

It was now 10 PM and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIVjYB4xX6
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3wdu47Nb2
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYilBzdj6j0
they were right now.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5wmv6MO7q

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRH7lFddKN

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOvw4hxKYf

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxLszjRG65

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7muE6fQtAe

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQagtBlcXCT

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrju7FctKe9

"True."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGH9QWcy5a

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C4JFFFNk8

Two bell boys came out 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea9LsXoLG8
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhAR63qVQS
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxff2iOOgD

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfAkeRNnXJ

There were so many gift 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp2je29WHs
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMkWs2TboG
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oVrFZTKUM
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e66qNaTUV
so pissed.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbtEog60uk

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLHu5HuWsd

"They are downstairs," he answered.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYS4rLKZhD

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydKko5k9xW

When the doors flew 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Q35YqwR2
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Eg1PnhjU2
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmRD3fVB6j
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhSotFbPxN

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SRZK7fKfA

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHiM9V8CFc

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRpizqRX6r

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NyjocdOJP

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHTtxAQYR3

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNKsprqN7q

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f47PrEZkP

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qX11IzRks

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHGj2GDyRw

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk56DG7DUcI

I raised an eyebrow. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2M47uXke4
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAanG5EUkr8
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RoDByUcFK

"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?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09wlxVyoFd

"Everyone just missed 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiE2SyH8Lj
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAkBmiy3fN
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLxy42r1j0

I rolled my eyes at him,1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsoEKNbJFg
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4npfQAKFqZ
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqRfwhjhhj
face when I hugged him.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp1uOuq7F3

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKonXfRdkO

"Wait! You missed TOP 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4dK5vjFoL
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eCxWf15H3
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c7psc6oLs

I always loved it when 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0LDXJLq5h
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZkCtBR8Cf
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFQoax0Sol

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiUPiaBuZK

For a moment, that voice1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0OpVYMGAF
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE0Qd5flhV
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1YHWDWP1i
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xYj8PbfJc
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HBmlgMGPw
he was still acting the same way he had left.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsl43ZWMxj

I was really confused. I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23CxXazGew
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEQDw69BZ7
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXt9R8zG1O
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TsmboSnML
personal and it had to do with me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6m1JoyXBB

I had no other choice 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi44P1YeAb
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx8CceDvuw
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9lJ4jfNSd
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHBuBWXOqW

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYk5LnSWzi

By the look on his face,1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSWvMdehIJ
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kNV1dpI5U
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2no6tAVBy
going to end pretty tonight.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMKmcWCBCb

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMtXlCCrqf

"Ya, I did."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY35X2sBuA

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcm4eNykTh

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjYnS2SK2q

"Can't wait to hear it,"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NI7Ue6wNm
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA0M24agC4
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg2JbECuQy

"Anything for you, 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUpZdAgC1g
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKDnhzquiH
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMaKJsYqAZ
look at Zoey.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTjfTSe4fk

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR1mFVYkb6

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdOQV7ZIdU

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSiveF8Hwr

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL9DVx8Bq5

"You know Collins is 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEft11YGbh
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7YIm5uRut
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWqCyBrnzw
floor.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVv2HMTcza

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUgTqPi4YF

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM5WgRgFy3

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpge8sjky4

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLS8WgOG57

"We better sort out all 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGM16EmUYA
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzrxr4S3sT
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8it6BK3Yb4
floor.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDOerE5PiA

Sorting out all the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ua8LJu7dp
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz376F4wiY
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEMaiY4Wof
had really bought a lot of stuff.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1fwvgWCKK

The boys had brought a 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNkagI6fpz
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5nA5b4b2n
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoQpZCRBSI
expensive designer shoes.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvvyE0FqMj

As for Zoey and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyLTEh6YRZ
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc80nElyakG
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVwwyPSlsG
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pjBVLrCdP

"G-Dragon was helping me1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJvl3AqgsN
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJEfuBcPAi
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQun5j4ftn

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFut99Cjhbg

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJuQYa0Dej

We were sitting on the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTX1V1AWlx
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsUr5lOQ1k
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL271Nb7BO
stuff with Collins' too.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnObWZxKdn

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dbcYV9FZu

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEULnNJigNt

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu3wKfEoLg

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKohwU9eot

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e2Mca4yI5

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIkFdzMrDa

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCgve4g8LD

I distributed the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyhQDsxIBq
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueSpcA1jEW
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuawg0msgy8
was meant for me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuGIhQLbSV

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRR7hUMhJB

"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."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL23KgA6kJ

"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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkDfTaal3S

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn5VF2SUJ2

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAs7CDoEQO

For a moment, time 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpc04Ypofg
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaYVhWPAze
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEm9ava0X0
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzmuSEjITr
mess.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwG80Oxtx1

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxx3vtcRiQ

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MLlp5iWl9

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS6DCKH1b8

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZQVhTmODj

For me, it kind of felt 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUYeIajzYW
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06GxZAho2Q
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLewjORARe
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCb4MEK9i2

When Collins came to the1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRHmnFcd2j
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyezOyVh5H
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vog3O77jf
he just couldn't.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY8va9TTxm

"Hey, Collins," I said.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivxZClOfHF

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8drTEyWxnP

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ108Ejf9q5y

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpcZcjomED

"Thanks."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhwWwIqumt

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtvuZzkg0P

"Who?" I asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgZTu9Vb4L

"You know who I'm talking about."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQxjuQvPw1

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vYgVl5wPt

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK3T8OX89Q

Collins went over to the1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ivSUESt7H
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvFykozByn
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlJZXm9Wtt
up at him.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3NoWj9Tns

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn8JmppL9C

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvBeNeG1zm

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lXlMtEA7V

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxMTEKjsHg

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zIkIOtQLl

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLUDWTv9Op

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2VglwXjfQ

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdKvz95xmR

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v6klpcaka

"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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO83nuAsYAC

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCSuJtZRl9

"Here, we brought you an1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ySUaFypZQ
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcXKngGOPk
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17mWvzmWIe

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz7HpoBgQu

"Thanks," said Collins, 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88gRbo4tU6
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fre94I4MZ
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvJ7SssdP2

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IRWaI9gwW

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVoiIelxLv

Lee was right. Collins 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ87hg8wAe1
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16WkxQFef6
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4FW8ZXCV6
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOwsY6NLPk
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLYd3LozR8
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NhMajLMup

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PBWjwzPbv

We continued sorting out1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ151boav9oc
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnBCEW2J2E
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7MdCcfD4D
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjESJWHBE0v
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB7xtYkd4W
already too late and we all needed to rest.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCED1IGW4M

We hadn't managed to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxSV1m8nTM
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPueJTZt8x
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcctGtexhqk
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hYPJ52QSs
course.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiukUBXfHm

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmimehM3fkd

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAplZ5zQd2Z

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fcYhQ2Ern

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ45tMKW1Cc

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglf1xNF3k4

I looked at her with an 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBxLrmEe7S
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDI3F5xGh3
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnpjU9HZQn

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDlxb4Ghho

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0stBjXSGa

"Fine?" I looked at 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zS029Ba0V
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdMlxFzdlL
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtVf9eoPK3
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI63NlymcrD

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oGfqnkcBB

"Tell me, please!" I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHrwhzgTAu
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gWOO4djeo
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITaxga3ew6
tell me something. So tell me!"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc57QYqyQw

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KAsb2jdsZ

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiRu6YY74Y

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y6nQ0714C

"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."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHkccjEV6i

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY47xZzv1uo

I felt really excited 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOW5EgvZ1N
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpmDXTEvT3
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHKdr21zzI

"I don't know how I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP7O227I20
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXgGz3NZvh
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucPyCenDjF
Tower."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtzwsMewbd

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aOGfkoSbF
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIUtjgtbym
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfxWEJ91DQ

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaycm6oXJOT

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZeKofKv3F

"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."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95iAp1cHZa

"What?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflhCF9Grgy

"When we got to the top 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuCqIAHXwZ
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr1lqMEw2B
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjcytKeppG
others had left and it was just GD and I."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGhjoH2rbN

My eyes grew wide. I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKvPKSdmlN
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpogECQR9HX
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQupR6Kz8R

"You two kissed."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVqsiS2LbI

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGKgpR0YiE

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoZGDmIfyv

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr5aeuTSqs

"Well, you were in one 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAjAP2yk2I
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwtdnxWg1N
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdjAl3cvQZ

"Smart."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7n46CvwEG

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVteswQnHX

Zoey smiled like a fool,1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA110WwN68i
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv8x4Lei60
it was so magical at the same time."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep2bkbwtkD

I couldn't help but 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lJd0Zkod2
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8XQ1wjxwq
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Buj7SrN9
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49r25bFVvC
everyone at the prom.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pqGDbALYH

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymq2coEBBv

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5PMVzGWJF

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfxWKV1iDY

"And? Anything else? 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYeYjSaOZg
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ576COA5D1r
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKlSUPkP4M

"When we were on top of 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp4xbBUvH1
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNI8cD9IL6
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICCkZBwtkW

Well that's a bummer. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeR2LW2yhA
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkP3BHBJgi
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpknI7GaMk
really liked Zoey and not me?1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuEOmW48HL

I brushed that off. Why 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MuYQg3pjl
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUtlJmYCSO
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsvuTN67qj
hopes up with it.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvClkIzkkq8

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkqa6nnaAj

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mWF1f66c2

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu8AVJ0oie

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncYumBeW6p

"Thanks, Sam."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0BTap4a3p

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpQSUM59F2

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q79uJlFw5

I left Mr Panda on the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFANdwIPfmE
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTTacL7t6N
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7kACIwXo4
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0gK5WY7GY
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNcbnq1VzM

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABQxVt7QlH

"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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FiiviAs7e

I laid my head on the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDbNXBAco6
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJydvTXROX
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnB6nYwMqc
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5fwr8tPrS
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNYRtd3MUS
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIaaTONQ9K
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzma5NJAdO
have been.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhSj5SYvHe

Zoey would have only 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStHD5QPBPD
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVxI1Jd5IE
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGCXTdjFUY
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocmOGrTTEd

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCjB1LUVw8

I pulled Mr Panda closer1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXG4PtTJ5d
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70bsXB8Esn
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu8J1Yg1rW

***1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBqWzBUMic

I was given a round of 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq4kvZ3G4s
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJWl3GmPkL
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8CJ4JNydk
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBkGOJuYNg

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnKaYuQ2dD

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbV2cNWZLu

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWgUZMdQsb

"Then you better eat 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuzj6ehNJC
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1gfjbuAlN
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSjF5RZVQD

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZXk6xp5qO

"I can't wait for us to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzunP6tZgQ
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamIZNSVzIB
beside me. I could only tell why.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHyWKxDWNO

Christine who sat 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQDVgjguKz
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkUqKtfeNo
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WTHaUplaw
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDueRROrjG
and G-Dragon.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIUNrtS7pC

When we were done 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSivWFlLtQp
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv0epeTqdd
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWG8NrAx10

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MPYQ6BgRW

"What is it, Zoey?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto0gVcZMfg

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG17L5aJC4I

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0r1SWpJ4G

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3B8bLNFlF

"That's the problem," 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRD1n4TKo1
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsbcOrTcoL
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOltQlpw1o6
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YVm2oiRKw

Mike turned away and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnA8hxNVOK
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJfjNDixfC
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPskH9FuF3d
something?1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ts7oi8jK9

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnBFGSTIQL

We agreed with Christine1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj7523raxv
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnXcDwSOIB
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTQLzdKJVY
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjyYugqIf9

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqLbOJdA1z

"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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGBLSdhp0B

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCrkSG7tkr

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZQn32j31K

"I also feel like I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0vn0JrLDe
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkBw90WOJt
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjjmGWH5Bi
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyZstziNHd

"Do you think we should 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5U66tz8fh
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PzIIK3O11
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzGbOel1Yt

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJGjSdrqQB

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQzliZn3x1

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcDF9ckSfu

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcOtO6SKA1

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbepPIFXzMn

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS7lQubsWe

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN23kWFGKk

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mT8Q60PLz

I stood up from the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeMwWDnAO9
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgL66Kcj5l
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76c1KgwfpM
conversation.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGynVDRgDt

When I went back, I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPuBjs5Sb4
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcNpLQ0HlR
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY5XPpMmR4
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkrlbnU3OA

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDGICV44Ps

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV2eP1hQIm

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRZNTnQrAC

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKShBC6Fo7

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrhTz24Zi1

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6lIOFmxJv

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35z3SxLPxo

G-Dragon gave me a weird1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1T1GToidz
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxW33N30DZ
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eBesVg8By
took their place on the couch.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT4lk7MAfu

"Christine and Daesung, I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExEIehV7Rs
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWHD3p5eaK
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMAqTmEyfX

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugTp5JeZ63

"Ya, we will sing the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYZOLHIPeW
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7iS0LCG5s
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zSuvw3b5i
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmidfpN3zKO
producer has the lyrics printed out."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmeTFxCSRV

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuuJ3uUqL0

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgd7rAv9vS

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AAnztuJrz

Then we all went over 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ1ENvAB7W
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0kNBODGOX
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZHgTUNvvS

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTkQkCo0nI

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcFsqjbeqn

"Me too," said TOP.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBVfH1aCgI

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOmFqRynL7

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGme5qdm299

I didn't look up at him 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwnsLLzwUN
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9H23ud9vv
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVVeD70N5V
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeYwZiK9Au

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCIiGHwsJ8

I started to relax my 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPHP8VO0Eo
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv9oqvtXHi
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6FGZ7lLFj

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEmiWPzoln

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITQYwzJpQj

G-Dragon came to sit 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikI0kJafqz
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar7TPdFUuW
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvXyGeY673
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz56QojVlJ
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfogTFlBIu

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ43zyJGhG

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFkUFUyjvP

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xi6tD8Bhk

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzazp18jLaG

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMIV0CplCD

"Really?" the music producer asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5lhVV0mFw

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9LqKj2Bly

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡconFmyAOq0

"Give him a chance, 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ318vzDijn7
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpEaaxoMcJ
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DgofSFb3v
headphones and put them on.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5NNeo1pei

"Okay, this is 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrn1HGIRJD
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkscdTGVx7C
join them and see what needs some changing."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXEJnvPNyg

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAOXOc8ck3

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSletkIwcSm

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNIITG9RkO

The others looked at me 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoiHmugUU4
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBx97MnpMW
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLELNJcxJPv

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs9iT6xYQc

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYQC8uKxZQ

"That's going to be a 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGQiJQVQtl
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lCk6bm2Kb
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHlS9IMr4D

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRcmtv1hzw

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXYPr13hmI

"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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRrRilpkd4

I looked over at Zoey 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMPelIWzMJ
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoltj6jTtXg
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagNd9RdJlc

I put a stool in front 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsIfKGMbOW
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjijCYr6ndV
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ7yM2fZ03
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV2EDLb3wU
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ020YtKtwT1
others.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jgPzyoF78

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hkmWMvEs6

Taeyang and I sung the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrnS9rFh8r
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3cMAOaXoG
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Yy2qVMEW
great and everyone cheered.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjt5FPbOgA

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDSejPDiGx

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmvS3ySig9

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2nLwYdXEB

TOP started to rap the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPbhKzpnxe
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqplJHodEDH
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpciTz64lrJ
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3grkCA3zw7

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qi0DlCv3m

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6hEtvUNc8

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLqZ9RRwQj

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorEw2FXoOo

Daniel and Seungri sung 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTOECbKatB
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSzeiOIB74
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP2Dk4A79G
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAQD7Wwkng
clapped for themselves and cheered.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgTs5dtZbM

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoUR5oUyuh

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVGJRrmJk4

I almost fell off the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW9qN1NJMV
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN4O99IlSp
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtSEHZvfgx
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN4m7eo7kx

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W6S5VSfOl

"I have to say, you all 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlkjphvurn
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgMws88NvO
smile. "Keep up the good work."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrJ2kLwCQa

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoc7ng469n

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWcwVBfD9Q

No one said anything. We1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g6ZdJ4tOQ
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw0wh5a92t
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrfUayNByy
talking.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRitkQ2EW6m

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeIHftwSMM

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotxJxxsBGn

That, I couldn't answer.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMdPtRJBjG
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FChSHg56G
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JsMD06rbL

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxBgh4jkQz

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapjLsnkyrf

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXLp3NjFgP

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9IEMocGWk

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZRRA5kOen

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz8zrOf5hK

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnqOADWJht

"I want them back here 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMgKfbUMtx
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RcZ7gLW32
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkSoQlGnEO

I gulped as I felt the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZR7bbDzxB
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqt72Mj3GS
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5eK4PolhI
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdj7rrdeuE

No one said anything 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhTTpVJLpH
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZQNYdSA0W
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVHpj6D9LL

"Where could they have 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYlmzsEo9l
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNSZIb4y8P
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptex3bg9ti

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RSpkvrhba

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiMn0mBRMG

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ0ZIALb6D

"Then we better start 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Cu7M2mun
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Epjo14jd
looking for them will be difficult."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvnBMqRkFT

We all agreed to split 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnA8SPc2sq
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV7dup0Kah
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vn2ReNJtg
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBRkVDQqCF

All the studio rooms 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHblppiSYz
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG39BaMRFg8
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUwLmQ1ZGt

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspzx3goIwu

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DgnivegwT

"Almost fifteen minutes."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj5qRnh3VE

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu3QhGpud2

He nodded and pulled out1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXE2hhSp6O
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ELOUHNDR
walked out of it and came towards us.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS5RbpEFvu

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxaWQOZ68s

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SCWywW3wr

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1YDuBgkDD

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1CoyPgoNq

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4wPJcslXi

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LUUPDOd76

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNVou1AzpU

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRIHskNmvr

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSt8P3srxx

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOeuljnPTY

I hadn't said a word 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmnYgSY9sv
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVLVsIxrh9
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUJYc2zj0C
but worry.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJKeN625zl

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyEEKr17iV

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOpRbeUXgD

Daesung motioned his 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO4blD5my0
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqg3PadZPF
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4DTsXxozc

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvQK4mNy1N

Taeyang and the music 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYYGshl8Sv
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoubdLXgxCg
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCizMXbkGrQ
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gp7GK45mZ
and angry at the same time.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuATa1gx0C

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhvf6tumCj

I looked over at Daesung1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NVaj2KUfN
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQECAsBDQFN
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7qVFWPDOn
the play button.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb1aSDZmjK

***1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh5QMXKy7X

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZcSKSONwR

I came crushing back 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNYiCPdR5m
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP1G9UFiBo
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlj5MPY7Uz

I had so many mixed 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNci0gdqvDv
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbuYNvD1OV
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCQ894sEnZ
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs94H8SvmN
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6XLT4VQbI

I could tell that the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mkOEG20cp
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1AFu397yn
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKRwDOzFUE
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxf9GE2Aka

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFm9oUo2iv

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkyCziH0cv

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4woaEiyL9k

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3TWKWMQie

I folded my arms and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLE9EczF3h
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyGTCvzd92
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1v3hSt8Yz

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JomgKA8Js

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomQ5JqDwvz

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHquRKCL20D

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfIAyF6qIR

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2KERu7IlM

I could feel the others 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhRlnxklvs
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNB3nIAtTP
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUWZgkvbao
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI4tQQjy3q
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY7fgoS0KF
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWArUOHdht

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH6NS4Vabg

"Okay." I nodded my head.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg3qPnPwqs

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGQdndjC7l
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG93wcRgNwB
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ040uCd3CVP

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15vlLClbFQ

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63rQvEUySD

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNftLMzmHdH

"Not until I hear what 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrz6GJXuwa
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOQeetFe0j
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx7ikQ370K
trying to calm down.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt5HWsk2FY

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcD4Gy1wUM

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKsiPb8cgl

"So that we could get 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHDvglXD5f
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiAJbLac3O
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjGZ9VZvj4
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwJdPkpmvr

"I agree with Sam," said1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoau6niUQ0
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIia4RKl2kk
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgLfa4XAi5

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g75QPopEr

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4muguZCnKm

The rest of the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tz6Azrjqp
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnUpHYmDMO
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z4AfKZNXN
playing cards.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1T233phrE

I was leaning my chin on1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNBUT1vzem
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnznom3Eav
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJFOdHuI3G
especially to me.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGFS0wwYeu

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwiZu6eF2C

I suddenly sat upright 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkMsexP67c
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGjlr4Ul2x
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmO83HT05t
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLNolO4Wul
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3StiwEMPHt

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglMV36gDpW

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNTyxIC1pd

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUo3dg7eXH

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3oVdZYgha

"Maybe we can just order1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd6IsogwzH
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPkvKY7PFk
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBiCBQ0j9H

"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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLgHownQaD

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqB0bfDAcS

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQUg3jM3zP

"I heard that Zoey and 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpckQlK9IIV
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dIZms94Ys
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CXx2aMs4y

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinCYrScpdT

"Then it's a good thing 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkSeVJ9DNr
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiQadLNW8X
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrzjKvjrZJ

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1itcXl6VL5

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawHKG9t5y0

Everyone soon dropped 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs98KbbTkJm
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo75rW8Jmff
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOkii0FzcI

I had never eaten pizza 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod8nwy8RKi
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBGQ93Nomq
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWQSMOhrdA

We were done finishing 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Srz0sh1G
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rjHQ5vne2
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c3gG3JMdd

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Lc1skg6P

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06aiaGSJVf

We were huddled up on 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCqsT35ZMc
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5cf7AFimf
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqxMtrVQUm

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLrSBs9nBQ

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHxjeYy2Uc

"You lied? About what?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJv8WAYL6N

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOvRtJFBCX

"But why?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi8jpXVBkU

"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."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZMyyspy6c

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?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9aAwEuaZK

I didn't expect Lee to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqdLp88swp
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhpyG9qa9P
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp1pA417yH

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtix1kEhtaP

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS9rVKZCGe

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVqoDgVTyB

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6cUsEZenz

I stood up from the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHubRuyibh
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuGEqWgCaW
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKth6avwB3
later.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ACrGK4DSV

Trying to find the right1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJngtkPZzI
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN0wnC8xCh
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJBNR5UXwR
what for, was the question in mind.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnAHWx0e9D

"Aren't you going to 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6ViOVHXn8
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbf46HF7jE
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNflEGrJh4o

"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."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfmPYbgo3T

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdOw9DbLHN

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dk1tjO1Bm

Lee went on to look at 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap1DQ78sLJ
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZGWTyQwEH
just thought they might be arguing again."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt9hbZGgx7

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYahDXJ4Qj

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAXWPcoA4l

"I don't even know what 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBHfwPBvLY
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJhl8rk3P8
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7reEPoUHH

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnULaZ4Gl0H

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBktfJ88kui

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3yB76My0d

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfsVZbqqOD

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxId0sjcYgb

It only took five 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c0iGex8gH
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4cBjQH0oq
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Hta9I5nw
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcIoXZeY4A

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9yechQuZe

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS3zcnVNgn

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRggXbTl1E

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLqUWCgr3Z

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiJtdgyy0V

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl6OAYHOlT

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurZkJMm6io

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wUqP5t1VA

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlgpK3grF4

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy8sPcTOxc

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNa8br9qEL

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtrX0qRsT3

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj9TIf3Vle

"Why did you this?" I asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YTRRtyAvL

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMq6C91Tvh

"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."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFl094ajqd

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJu63PdN0Q

"The instrumental is in 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6laaJ5hiNV
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmT7j9W6bm
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xozjjeRZQ
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z2fnouJgh
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR61ZhFTmrt
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI26gpzhusn
pissed."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIF43ibgwV

"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."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwvaUpEA73

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH436DUcj1F

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkltEq0OBPr

I looked at Zoey and she1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzWX1K92ZS
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMpdqduW4L
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOzzSmJRhB
was mad at me for.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz9svClaJi

"Now is not the right 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtkCWX5fiZ
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjImedUojMH
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hsf9gFE9x
understand.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZunnhiUa0C

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfoZDo6bf9
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m1i9TSt6V
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz2R9aOzPp
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiZDvW2EJB

"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."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJPkgsOuUo

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa50x233gkg

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX5Bs4440V

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmvnjSXNC1

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpClivDDQz

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgfky4OowQ

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BEQa1n2MM

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HCE8mgBFl

I paused with my mouth 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASSQlbxZzr
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTyK8UelZD
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9o8fAlc6i
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXZAtOF5wM

I looked at G-Dragon and1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAWZB2QDQZ
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExM3J1zQuI
face wondering what he was thinking.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP16ODaLY9

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WRvpHzmJI

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Ngkvuutl

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56MSMfgDSB

I smiled and Seungri 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1u2pFJ9J6
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaExvpmfLN
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExfOXdKQdo
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD2DpmaD23

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIOqgwO8iS

I smiled a little more. 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9vkqCpHaS
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHQcJP1dwb
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWUzTnG6yS
were at war again.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjoTYwwFaL

"But we can't start 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98DJf6oLuJ
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uvof3U8r4
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cTRPk2kEs

I sat upright and alert.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWXcFhcGSR
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYFYnoubAv
have to record the track the day after?"1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIEDkIFLLv

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeVbDjTjMS

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEMsAq19j8

"But why didn't you tell1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWkpkSx5ZH
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIimx8OgMu
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54eDqOhXZG

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxpE0RyvhA

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEUmGiXQ90

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeNmapequW

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk3om1z92a

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RNWULuq0m

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfUENqc4W1

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lyhS7lQVD

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDMCjh8uhW

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjSryv1Qac

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWbdIE0F2q

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE9y5sDCHw

I turned to look at him 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiqRDRqsGj
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkAAJjfuG5
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTKayRvh9d
me like that.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqRTAIdlh3

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCtRS8Wot4

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo73UEeFea

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeFBIKiYKL

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoprGA4sUc

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9EpJpY8er

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojnasyqnCw

We looked at each other 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBvrLmu4zE
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMJAAbOGzg
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJZkeNwP34
Maybe he also felt the same.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn65kRDfWh3

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.1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXPP8xGtKE

I then realised that I 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7aw4lTCRV
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW7HYebNTy
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug2k9gPlHq
another time.
