quite slow since everyone now knew that G-Dragon and I still weren't on 312Please respect copyright.PENANAX27aD9iimW

the interview, we had to act like nothing was wrong or else Collins 312Please respect copyright.PENANAsUwAYkgYd1

interview and when we went to face the audience on set, we were 312Please respect copyright.PENANAXbyiFClsGD

kindly too.copyright protection308PENANAalpK1BIJvi312Please respect copyright.PENANAic6T0A8WJn
The interview went on 312Please respect copyright.PENANA7MMpePNNYe
perfectly. We had so much fun talking about our lives and we were asked 312Please respect copyright.PENANAYh9xrlmDuf
questions from the audience that weren't so complicated. We were having a312Please respect copyright.PENANA6yhJdWTyLn

laugh.copyright protection308PENANANZlKgq74de312Please respect copyright.PENANAPFX2eHNoCj
We were then asked 312Please respect copyright.PENANA6agS12eZl3
personal questions about our dating life. That was one topic I never 312Please respect copyright.PENANA1oPBpK4uBo

audience and the fans watching on TV.copyright protection308PENANAZYIXEssi8H312Please respect copyright.PENANAeIkNFmCN7q
As usual, the questions 312Please respect copyright.PENANAIaGRMTXpNZ
were mostly directed at me. As usual, I told the audience that I wasn't 312Please respect copyright.PENANA1pySzAvtlt
ready to date yet and that the right one would come when I least 312Please respect copyright.PENANAKDWBakKUw8
expected it. And then the question I hadn't thought of in a while, 312Please respect copyright.PENANAbKH1eVw9NR
raised to the surface.copyright protection308PENANAL6kBOe1uBw312Please respect copyright.PENANA1LTYLp260V
"So, what about you and G-Dragon?" the interviewer asked. "Don't you think you two were meant to be together?"copyright protection308PENANAbmWL1wFllX312Please respect copyright.PENANAK5w43dSE3J
There was a 'whooo' 312Please respect copyright.PENANA5zzZOQlo45
thatcame from the audience. I should have prepared myself for this. But I312Please respect copyright.PENANAuxFvrsP6xr

"I..eh," I hesitated. I 312Please respect copyright.PENANAqJwzdWoTLC

"But not only did the 312Please respect copyright.PENANArGheIbji5Y

"I like G-Dragon, but only as a friend," I said. "A good friend."copyright protection308PENANAd6sJHQN2cZ312Please respect copyright.PENANAX1akbwXvlN
Saying that made me 312Please respect copyright.PENANAww3PrunCy4
feela little guilty. G-Dragon and I still weren't on good terms. If I 312Please respect copyright.PENANAZR08r3lG07

murmurs of approval. I felt Zoey shift a little uncomfortably. This was 312Please respect copyright.PENANATCRxMLua6o

Christine and Daniel and I couldn't tell if they were joking around 312Please respect copyright.PENANAMoPw9dJJy6
withme or not. Maybe they were doing this just to intimidate me because 312Please respect copyright.PENANAjWWd7OBjZD

"Why?" I asked. "I bet he won't answer me as well."copyright protection308PENANA2ke8CgN7Fv312Please respect copyright.PENANAGHpFVCKL3k
"Can you at least try?" Lee asked.copyright protection308PENANAX0T0vCjCI8312Please respect copyright.PENANAgOwXGkWglW
"There is no harm in trying," said Daniel. "Who knows, he might just answer."copyright protection308PENANAssMQlTQccd312Please respect copyright.PENANAx1a6yzRkXQ
I looked down at my phone in my hand like it was some creature ready to bite my nose off at any moment. I hesitated.copyright protection308PENANARYlETuIB9w312Please respect copyright.PENANA4hEqXSn8Rm
What would everyone 312Please respect copyright.PENANAHNxpRYvaxc
think if G-Dragon really did answer my call? I would be toast, 312Please respect copyright.PENANAdcRXvL1JtZ
especially with Zoey. The two were like a couple now and it wouldn't 312Please respect copyright.PENANA7jNbcabj8K
feel right. What the heck, it wouldn't 'be' right at all. What was I 312Please respect copyright.PENANA79W3Nf7mHo
going to do?copyright protection308PENANAM5Q4RlCunf312Please respect copyright.PENANAzWx5MqTPcA
"What are you waiting for?" Mike asked, snapping me back to reality. "Do it."copyright protection308PENANAAzSS0Yfkh0312Please respect copyright.PENANAvTm7t6heYA
Everyone's eyes were on 312Please respect copyright.PENANApArSP9rlj6
me now. And I knew they weren't going to let go of me that easily. I 312Please respect copyright.PENANAtrjlpAPikM
stared at Zoey to see what she thought.copyright protection308PENANAKwzN05OBhU312Please respect copyright.PENANAYn0eci0msH
"Go on, Sam," said Zoey.copyright protection308PENANAVrpsvUAreM312Please respect copyright.PENANABUSOwKnvJb
I gulped and tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear. I unlocked my phone, went to my contacts and called G-Dragon.copyright protection308PENANA1DiVA85rqK312Please respect copyright.PENANArKsgeBWK6j
I put the phone to my 312Please respect copyright.PENANA1qOhBuQ9qg
ear and his phone was ringing. I closed my eyes hoping he wouldn't 312Please respect copyright.PENANAVMXiTaVKFn
answer. The car had just entered the YG premises. The phone was still 312Please respect copyright.PENANALiZgt3E22X
ringing.copyright protection308PENANAurxljFSoS1312Please respect copyright.PENANAcxipmO0hpA
"Looks like he isn't answering," I said, when the car stopped. My phone still to my ear.copyright protection308PENANAdrrEQTsl70312Please respect copyright.PENANACYjDoVJT8i
"Just hold on for a few seconds," said Lee as she got out of the car.copyright protection308PENANA3mbAIW6Ydw312Please respect copyright.PENANAoKJyAJe41c
The rest also got out and I was left alone. There was no hope left. I knew he wasn't going to answer.copyright protection308PENANAg0l4iJ7uO0312Please respect copyright.PENANAPMhSsZpQAl
Just when I thought the line would go dead, I heard a clicking sound and I felt my heart stop.copyright protection308PENANAHOFNTPNP9c312Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bn3hPwf1O
"Hello, Sam?"copyright protection308PENANA63sqx3XX84312Please respect copyright.PENANARGToVTg2K8
I was startled. He 312Please respect copyright.PENANAwA3KonVT7A
answered. Oh, no. This was what I had feared. My jaw dropped and no 312Please respect copyright.PENANAmsMmmITnFN
wordcould come out of my mouth. All this felt like a surprise.copyright protection308PENANAOBa8sDKh3Q312Please respect copyright.PENANAoXtnYQ0zR8
"Sam, are you there?"copyright protection308PENANAWyWKB3f0mT312Please respect copyright.PENANAkHwXNHaE9m
Thank goodness he was okay. He did sound a bit strange though. Must be that he was drunk or he wasn't feeling too well.copyright protection308PENANAKuI806Lyoq312Please respect copyright.PENANAvzlAXCgUxz
"I know you're there, Sam. Are you worried about me?"copyright protection308PENANAB6zWdqs17X312Please respect copyright.PENANAh4iftsPDsH
"I...mm...I," I 312Please respect copyright.PENANALu38jcbxFa

out of your drunken state and get your butt over here?copyright protection308PENANAm2gCft4i6m312Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7BATwgMnC
"Has he answered?"copyright protection308PENANA1zK6TRT88W312Please respect copyright.PENANAhvrmQ6ldCp
I jumped on my seat and cut the line. Lee was standing by the door of the car looking at me.copyright protection308PENANAbku193eLlF312Please respect copyright.PENANAcbTvRSBM1M
"Where are the others?" I asked as I looked outside the car.copyright protection308PENANAlsV5kMFup3312Please respect copyright.PENANAMf1T2RnGNQ
"They went inside," said Lee. "We better go."copyright protection308PENANAPUmhgTjlrC312Please respect copyright.PENANA348HIzNqPQ
I nodded my head. By the312Please respect copyright.PENANABkTbOP0IOh
time I was stepping out of the car, my legs were shaking. And the 312Please respect copyright.PENANAuAF4ALrbx4
colour on face seem to have faded away because I felt really pale.copyright protection308PENANA144N2K670d312Please respect copyright.PENANA5uoBdWLQiF

"He answered, didn't he?"copyright protection308PENANA9aAEtBUURl312Please respect copyright.PENANAjMKfBRaMbp
I looked at Lee and I knew I couldn't lie to her. "Yes," I answered.copyright protection308PENANARdHRJkS7lP312Please respect copyright.PENANAx3AJQNGCKm
Lee's mouth dropped and she looked at me with so much shock.copyright protection308PENANA5tEDx05C6A312Please respect copyright.PENANA5i6b8XVxO6
"I knew it!"copyright protection308PENANA17DJnN5tTB312Please respect copyright.PENANA0zENdAoVkg

Lee put her index finger312Please respect copyright.PENANAYkhEGDCO44
on her lips and the two of us went inside. The others had already gone 312Please respect copyright.PENANAS1BSYYazjY
upstairs. Lee and I went to join them in the studio.copyright protection308PENANAFVMj2tQ9Oc312Please respect copyright.PENANAT9ufRxUXGw
"Hey, guys," I said when I came in with Lee.copyright protection308PENANAX5CLlXiifF312Please respect copyright.PENANAVeG3vJAMbt
"My little panda," said Seungri as he came to hug me. "You looked so beautiful during the interview."copyright protection308PENANAcFPGkDO5Ch312Please respect copyright.PENANALAWPxYWgOc
"Thanks," I said as I blushed and Seungri took me by the hand and took me further into the room.copyright protection308PENANADXXon3tAz4312Please respect copyright.PENANAkBainZ9d3o
"You guys were just awesome," said Taeyang as he and I both hugged.copyright protection308PENANAjiMFJnLlsP312Please respect copyright.PENANAJsAI9I4uTB
"Thanks. Any news of GD yet?" I asked.copyright protection308PENANANeOj5tpaNG312Please respect copyright.PENANA8uZoIvDArs
"I tried calling his apartment," said Taeyang. "But nothing."copyright protection308PENANAcG6MPAUE5T312Please respect copyright.PENANA4N72n6rDrG
"Did he answer when you called him?" Zoey asked me.copyright protection308PENANAXx9ePDiatd312Please respect copyright.PENANAJttfAXMzDm
"No, he didn't," I answered.copyright protection308PENANAc7DSirBXOt312Please respect copyright.PENANAyHviLkQ6HU
I should be given the 312Please respect copyright.PENANAt1auRdp06P
Best Liar Award because Zoey and everyone else believed me for some 312Please respect copyright.PENANAch9QcXWljI
reason. I looked at Lee and all she could do was nod her head a little 312Please respect copyright.PENANAJZcS5JPtFN
to assure me that it was okay that I had lied.copyright protection308PENANAzRBIDEuacl312Please respect copyright.PENANAv2ONY6WbbM
"Maybe it's best we go and check up on him ourselves," said Seungri.copyright protection308PENANAgqIT9ylojK312Please respect copyright.PENANA7JSnkbTdBl
"That's a good idea," said Mike.copyright protection308PENANAUUfMrkShbz312Please respect copyright.PENANA4KFHpMU6Qb
"Maybe we should wait and see if he shows up?" I suggested.copyright protection308PENANA5WXhyWo5Do312Please respect copyright.PENANARNCEHxaDcO
"No, I'm getting really worried," said Zoey. "It's best we go."copyright protection308PENANApoIs3CGZlC312Please respect copyright.PENANApSYhgJvoM0

Taeyang, Zoey and 312Please respect copyright.PENANAPCKy3Ps2CG
Christine left the studio. I went over to the couch to sit. I felt it 312Please respect copyright.PENANAu3yQCTIDGR
was a good thing not to go. He was already upset with me. But I was 312Please respect copyright.PENANAT6MQ4y7jgv
still surprised he had answered my call.copyright protection308PENANAi60SqxD6Qi312Please respect copyright.PENANASb65cKto6Z
"Why didn't you go with them, Sam?" Mike asked.copyright protection308PENANATZpvVKhGjF312Please respect copyright.PENANAqiRgBeEOqF
"Why should I go?" I asked.copyright protection308PENANAcBrm9MYz40312Please respect copyright.PENANAs69ymxIOaL
"Because everyone listens to you," said Seungri as he came to sit beside me.copyright protection308PENANAYIeKJJHDGd312Please respect copyright.PENANAzrKPJAi6n3
"I wonder why he didn't answer your call, though," said Daniel.copyright protection308PENANAWltysgrkrt312Please respect copyright.PENANATvaj4Sz8Sn
"Maybe it's because he is ignoring all of us," I answered, as I looked at my fingernails.copyright protection308PENANAdOs2NA57nI312Please respect copyright.PENANAciR2aeWNcv
"I don't think so," said Mike. "One thing I can guarantee for sure, he would listen to you no matter what."copyright protection308PENANAiImgWwvaEy312Please respect copyright.PENANArfw91t7ulh
"Listen to me? For he and I not to be on good terms, he doesn't."copyright protection308PENANAIa1y9LHS6N312Please respect copyright.PENANAfTusASbQDD
Lee was still standing in front of me and said, "call him again, Sam."copyright protection308PENANAyYhomg063Y312Please respect copyright.PENANASIdMUqzDZd
I looked at Lee as though she had read out my death sentence.copyright protection308PENANABi0MWwzqkX312Please respect copyright.PENANAb3InhVVwLR
"Are you kidding me? I just told everyone that he didn't answer," I said.copyright protection308PENANAinX1fyNgie312Please respect copyright.PENANAbAbs2Hn93g
"Come on, Sam, the others aren't here," said Lee. "Especially Zoey."copyright protection308PENANAoXJ2SmDE16312Please respect copyright.PENANAJEHbK9SzsB
"Wait, what's going on?" Seungri asked as he looked at me and then at Lee.copyright protection308PENANAuAgWFb6Sdy312Please respect copyright.PENANA90ZP4FnaHD
"G-Dragon answered Sam's call," said Lee.copyright protection308PENANAP39S1dYcEp312Please respect copyright.PENANAT4chdPYTfH
"For real?" Mike and Daniel asked at the same time.copyright protection308PENANAIKahv8LIO3312Please respect copyright.PENANAgj4fkrw0bH
"Yes," I answered.copyright protection308PENANAo1NlZln7vK312Please respect copyright.PENANARdaQQXIil4
"But why didn't you say anything when the others were here?" Seungri asked.copyright protection308PENANAXBiEOUjcXD312Please respect copyright.PENANAj9N7BnDZvB
"Zoey," again, Mike and Daniel answered at the same time.copyright protection308PENANAa9VZfGUVPS312Please respect copyright.PENANAQMfhPzzvhc
"What does this have to do with Zoey?" Seungri looked even more confused.copyright protection308PENANACWgGYBTFDN312Please respect copyright.PENANAtsFykUpFVw
"Zoey likes G-Dragon," said Mike.copyright protection308PENANACixnOknVnp312Please respect copyright.PENANAUSRKsTzNgI
"And those two now seem like a couple," said Daniel.copyright protection308PENANAgIYhsJDbBh312Please respect copyright.PENANAJGc78Iell3
"If Zoey knew that G-Dragon answered Sam's call...."copyright protection308PENANAgleh7R1s5t312Please respect copyright.PENANAxlsEKOvnww
".....she would be jealous and throw a tantrum," Daniel finished. The two high-fived each other.copyright protection308PENANARqjmPu9vy9312Please respect copyright.PENANAcLlXdOCQK9
I was wide-eyed by my brother's enthusiasm with all this. Looks like they already knew about G-Dragon and Zoey.copyright protection308PENANAjJhuUcS6Af312Please respect copyright.PENANAP8Ut8TAqlN
"I'm not going to ask how you know," I said as I folded my arms.copyright protection308PENANAr7qdZEEOce312Please respect copyright.PENANAIeLzcs861Y
"We figure things out easily," said Mike with a smirk.copyright protection308PENANA45jLDsQwiT312Please respect copyright.PENANAnl6FKPUsmQ
"Looks like it runs in the family," said Lee as she raised an eyebrow at me.copyright protection308PENANASYUWrPISQ8312Please respect copyright.PENANAggUsm3p3eg
"I knew there was a reason you delayed to get out of the car," said Daniel.copyright protection308PENANAbtLKsvGLfc312Please respect copyright.PENANAQA55uyWpBc
"At least you didn't tell Zoey," said Mike.copyright protection308PENANAjlPbVRvw9s312Please respect copyright.PENANAjeCuZFPDO7
"Wait, I'm so confused 312Please respect copyright.PENANAsrtdTxKMSc
here," said Seungri, blinking his eyes as though trying to see if all of312Please respect copyright.PENANAsJvfbyQzKn
this was a dream. "Zoey likes G-Dragon. And the two are now like a 312Please respect copyright.PENANA0CdRwhuwck
couple but without the whole world knowing. And G-Dragon only answered 312Please respect copyright.PENANAV6oRoj5Odl
to Sam and not to Zoey and that might upset her because....."copyright protection308PENANAYbjTV5no2T312Please respect copyright.PENANAZFURm0Cztp
"G-Dragon likes Sam," finished Lee. She quickly covered her mouth after blurting that out.copyright protection308PENANAS8ExF3yuMt312Please respect copyright.PENANA7kCMAAikHj
I turned to look at Lee with a frown. "Seriously? You can't possibly be too sure about that."copyright protection308PENANAX3WyiBhYHn312Please respect copyright.PENANAvKOBSEFYpV
"It kind of looks like he does, Sam," said Daniel. "It's not that hard to notice."copyright protection308PENANAt3hXNBi89B312Please respect copyright.PENANAeiHwEwfarh
"Well, I didn't notice," said Seungri.copyright protection308PENANAWmlnsWjPWp312Please respect copyright.PENANAqQsQCLDo5y
"Let's just skip this 312Please respect copyright.PENANAgkNKmNEvQi
topic and wait for the others to get here," I said. "By the way, aren't 312Please respect copyright.PENANA1wuqoCLjej
Daesung and TOP supposed to be here?"copyright protection308PENANAtruK8oePxQ312Please respect copyright.PENANAx8E8xY07xt
"They would be here in a few minutes," said Seungri.copyright protection308PENANAR5xBAkBhB6312Please respect copyright.PENANAbS13haoQ6P
"Should we tell them about all this?" Daniel asked looking at me.copyright protection308PENANA2Fd0Nf1Ez1312Please respect copyright.PENANAUTCLR2xcCd
"I don't know," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I really don't care if you tell them or not. That's if they don't tell Zoey."copyright protection308PENANApB8sJtW5ZO312Please respect copyright.PENANAyw2HVLKM9u
"I'm just worried about Zoey," said Lee. "Should we tell her?"copyright protection308PENANA5xtd99vPwF312Please respect copyright.PENANAzlSzKodJdM
"Are you kidding me? That's one thing we shouldn't do," said Seungri. "Who knows what she would do."copyright protection308PENANAsnmudPNxe3312Please respect copyright.PENANAaDpVIE5ih1
"But keeping it from her will just make things worse, especially when she finds out later on," I said.copyright protection308PENANA5FGW3ffrYM312Please respect copyright.PENANAqzW4g6QcFb
"Just think, Sam," said Mike. "Will it be right to tell her today?"copyright protection308PENANAR1MK50XKHI312Please respect copyright.PENANAmcDu0w4V1u
"No."copyright protection308PENANA3HuXAAa1I6312Please respect copyright.PENANA9zHCjMELxH
"Exactly. Zoey will feel hurt that G-Dragon answered you and not her. She will get really jealous."copyright protection308PENANAXguB2cHle3312Please respect copyright.PENANAzdaOkpb62g
Mike did have a point. 312Please respect copyright.PENANA1UoaIhiniY
Telling Zoey was going to be like suicide. She was going to be hurt and 312Please respect copyright.PENANAxLrJPwvrYU
we first had to clear things up with GD and I.copyright protection308PENANA0iGiRcUOj9312Please respect copyright.PENANAcipPAD63bF

"Agreed," said the rest as they nodded their heads.copyright protection308PENANAjmrJ2MMztY312Please respect copyright.PENANAJ25IDKuYsi
We waited for the others312Please respect copyright.PENANAk306Juqzqc
in the studio. TOP and Daesung came in a few minutes later. We told 312Please respect copyright.PENANAMSmNcbk7ok
them about G-Dragon's recent behaviour. But we didn't tell them about 312Please respect copyright.PENANAPU6Mzcf4ZC
the supposed love triangle.copyright protection308PENANALZliRVk4nA312Please respect copyright.PENANAbFd0QKtJBf
"These guys are taking 312Please respect copyright.PENANA6SAqlYfZ9C
forever to get here," I said as I went over to the window to check at 312Please respect copyright.PENANAMqtZIjB2Bg
the parking lot. It was now close to three in the afternoon.copyright protection308PENANAIrrFuHWGuD312Please respect copyright.PENANAsnHxRNDFN3
"I told you to try and call him again," said Lee.copyright protection308PENANASDQ6aBY3LQ312Please respect copyright.PENANAcLUJfigdnV
"It's best we call the others first," Seungri said as he pulled out his phone. "I'll call Taeyang."copyright protection308PENANAGULENA68NG312Please respect copyright.PENANAeDSLEXSAwZ
"Please do," I said as I sat back down on the couch.copyright protection308PENANAvbiDQPbiA1312Please respect copyright.PENANAaHlQ2QbDm4
"Don't stress yourself,"said TOP who sat beside me and placed his hand on my shoulder for comfort. "They should be back by now."copyright protection308PENANA7kQW1rdpSJ312Please respect copyright.PENANAGHH771ORir
"Tae, where are you?" Seungri asked. "We've been worried sick. Did you find GD?"copyright protection308PENANAI80K0n2brC312Please respect copyright.PENANAdLOkqCsdeB
We paused for a while as we looked at Seungri, waiting for what's to come.copyright protection308PENANAzc3eEvSNmr312Please respect copyright.PENANA0FKAHfcgNY
"What? He isn't at the apartment?" Seungri asked looking surprised.copyright protection308PENANAb9AwKtw0zG312Please respect copyright.PENANAa5BpWbLKRm
That sent a different atmosphere around the room. I felt my face drain of colour as I started to think of the worst.copyright protection308PENANAELCmo3AbYM312Please respect copyright.PENANAWWDE4xReTP
"Tell them to come back," I said to Seungri. I held my forehead. This can't be happening right now.copyright protection308PENANAlh5PquGvxq312Please respect copyright.PENANAsId5w0IU6i
"I told you to call GD,"312Please respect copyright.PENANAYibxdNa4zR

day will end without us knowing where he is."copyright protection308PENANAiYa3uGtWx9312Please respect copyright.PENANAAgcfzo97uX
"Don't blame me for this," I said. "This is not entirely my fault."copyright protection308PENANAoVvswjGPEv312Please respect copyright.PENANAnIjUAMjj7G
"Just call him," said Daesung. "He answered you the first time. He would likely answer again."copyright protection308PENANA1KVifFIdXO312Please respect copyright.PENANAtfZ6UWX5xF
"Fine," I took out my phone and dialled G-Dragon's number. I put the phone to my ear.copyright protection308PENANARRAKHqjWVl312Please respect copyright.PENANAQe5LnMcGYY
This time, G-Dragon didn't delay to answer like last time. After three rings, he picked up.copyright protection308PENANAFR3k2Mqs58312Please respect copyright.PENANAKtXVr084FW
"GD, where are you?" I asked. Everyone's ears perked up to listen.copyright protection308PENANA43uRtfreD4312Please respect copyright.PENANANazJHI21Sf
"Why?" He sounded normal. Maybe he was sober.copyright protection308PENANARvVWo8crUU312Please respect copyright.PENANA1HvApuhcgg
"We're so worried about you. We need to know where you are."copyright protection308PENANAK2lY22hJYr312Please respect copyright.PENANA7mJc3KI8di
"Don't worry about me. And tell the others that I'm fine."copyright protection308PENANAwt4yZs3BDu312Please respect copyright.PENANAvryP5UVDWO

"Aren't you more worried about me?"copyright protection308PENANA95lUGso1zS312Please respect copyright.PENANABbWzNAWtK2
That question moved me. I was worried. Dead worried. I needed him back here safe and sound. We all did.copyright protection308PENANAdP1tQ5bfRY312Please respect copyright.PENANAAVINEs8EKK
"Yes, I am," I said. "I'm really worried. Why don't you come here and talk."copyright protection308PENANABW5nQnTr2L312Please respect copyright.PENANAQAfMSAWi5U
For a moment, he didn't say anything. All I got was the static silence from the phone.copyright protection308PENANAzmL2ZKVJ66312Please respect copyright.PENANAfRmxCekgaS

I cut the line. All this312Please respect copyright.PENANAXg2sj0lVKm
was just heartbreaking. I couldn't help but feel all this was my fault.312Please respect copyright.PENANASK2I51ziMu
He was hurting and even as we talked on the phone, I could tell. I was 312Please respect copyright.PENANAjt2svNli7b
still stunned that he was talking to me and calmly too.copyright protection308PENANAbXK9r6Vcgv312Please respect copyright.PENANADa59swrr9U

"Thank goodness," said Daniel as he stared up at the ceiling sighing in relief.copyright protection308PENANAL8RPBBqHPi312Please respect copyright.PENANAWovTlrrzcX
"You should have done this earlier," said Lee. "He clearly listens to you."copyright protection308PENANAN3JBfloqIr312Please respect copyright.PENANAoiI28mRxEA
I rolled my eyes. There was no need to remind me. He might have listened to me now, but I wouldn't expect him to do so later on.copyright protection308PENANAOcSjeo9GEQ312Please respect copyright.PENANAZzPXO7F1Cc
Ten minutes later, Taeyang and the others came in the studio.copyright protection308PENANABngEt9nl6l312Please respect copyright.PENANAE4M19oOSyk

frightening.copyright protection308PENANA9SRPMWdpT9312Please respect copyright.PENANA2b2hLoNv0v
I knew he was going to 312Please respect copyright.PENANAxkcCHIjS8j
tell them a lie. I wouldn't blame him. Besides, this only had to do with312Please respect copyright.PENANAYficO2ldFp
me and him. No one else. If he had to tell them, something told me they312Please respect copyright.PENANAZsgcFcGRtF

I looked at Lee who 312Please respect copyright.PENANAg7jjxPBHxB
stood behind the others. She had been looking at me the whole time 312Please respect copyright.PENANAiiB7cit6ww
trying to get my attention. She had a warning look in her eye, telling 312Please respect copyright.PENANAIJmJ68OF6t
me to do something.copyright protection308PENANAyVpzUL4F0V312Please respect copyright.PENANArchq3nZ8ZH
But what was I supposed 312Please respect copyright.PENANA6XNKckX4rV
to do? All this was just getting more complicated and I feared I might 312Please respect copyright.PENANAOQWO3qnSo4
just make it as worse as it already was.copyright protection308PENANApj6ASqt1gq312Please respect copyright.PENANAWgHyQ9cPbY
"If you want to know, then fine," said G-Dragon.copyright protection308PENANA7PwECSLTjQ312Please respect copyright.PENANAYVZLmKth2M
I looked up at him. Oh 312Please respect copyright.PENANANuQHr8FOR1
no. Was he really going to tell them the truth? Right now, I couldn't 312Please respect copyright.PENANAKMNxLGe4uQ
even tell for sure. I wanted to know the truth for myself and not 312Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ov5y0aXI8
involve anyone else.copyright protection308PENANAQapPfWQuyp312Please respect copyright.PENANANQmCwlPbHa
What if in the attempt 312Please respect copyright.PENANAUfUK0sVepd
to tell truth he ends up hurting Zoey? I still wasn't sure why he was 312Please respect copyright.PENANAN2chUo4K57
giving me the attitude, but if all this was going to hurt everyone in 312Please respect copyright.PENANA4H1ZvOCCk5

Everyone turned to me now. I stood up from her couch. Thank goodness I wasn't feeling dizzy anymore.copyright protection308PENANA2qqUXODBdU312Please respect copyright.PENANAMZDpkUtCfW
"What?" Christine asked.copyright protection308PENANAgNCpkuYQEn312Please respect copyright.PENANA1o1wOJ7X5R
"All of this was nothing312Please respect copyright.PENANAaNsauPTGID

when he came and you don't need to worry anymore."copyright protection308PENANAEhlOKpnHYp312Please respect copyright.PENANAahfwqWAJ6W
Everyone looked at me now and I could tell they were as confused as ever. I had to sound more convincing. 312Please respect copyright.PENANALF81dZ7Pkz
I put up a smile and said, "you guys were taking this all too seriously 312Please respect copyright.PENANAi0OyN4hCrW

"Wait, so what was the argument all about?" Mike asked, looking confused.copyright protection308PENANAntPrNe1miu312Please respect copyright.PENANAuwgC4NVYnk
"Well, G-Dragon and I had gone somewhere on Sunday, to get smoothies." I looked at G-Dragon 312Please respect copyright.PENANAvzwxHDylw9
and he at me. "We were joking around until I joked about something 312Please respect copyright.PENANAMCetFVeEKx
personal.312Please respect copyright.PENANACJeCUUX9x5
He was upset and though he was acting like he didn't mind, he was still312Please respect copyright.PENANAHYlsjmuY6b

that yesterday."copyright protection308PENANA8m6vVoah2D312Please respect copyright.PENANAp7EHQcAveY
Lee wiped her brow and 312Please respect copyright.PENANAPydUgRvUrU
looked relieved. I started to feel that way myself. I could feel the 312Please respect copyright.PENANA8X6y241ypX

him.copyright protection308PENANAaJjehcLzwB312Please respect copyright.PENANADCn4Q6cOXu

just going to raise everyone's suspicion.copyright protection308PENANAOAPy7XzNjW312Please respect copyright.PENANAHI3ZtNMqHh
G-Dragon continued to 312Please respect copyright.PENANABIqVM9WhwG

he would forgive me but I was wasn't raising that thought too high.copyright protection308PENANAiG7OEu4vDq312Please respect copyright.PENANAbgDi0Q9aip
He nodded his head and 312Please respect copyright.PENANAU9NEx9eDmz
didn't say a word. That meant he still hadn't forgiven me for something I312Please respect copyright.PENANAHUOIQTK6Fj

sure from him.copyright protection308PENANAjO1vqyconb312Please respect copyright.PENANA1q2l86Kh8Z
"Oh, thank goodness," said Christine and Seungri at the same time.copyright protection308PENANArclYeXCqRc312Please respect copyright.PENANAqrWqWxrWt8
"I thought it was something so serious," said Daniel. "I was expecting a juicy story. Thanks for nothing."copyright protection308PENANAJJBakntHlQ312Please respect copyright.PENANATcBrclFmuJ
I bet the juicy story might be about G-Dragon liking me. My brothers were such a menace sometimes.copyright protection308PENANAyVfuWwUtTy312Please respect copyright.PENANAkxvbuu6Gd8
"Don't blame me for this," I said as I raised my hands in surrender.copyright protection308PENANAEu7F4ow5S7312Please respect copyright.PENANATVJRvRK2P8
"It's my fault," said Lee. "Sorry, guys."copyright protection308PENANAXyBxeVqWr3312Please respect copyright.PENANAHIDNeVB0si
"We would've been doing other things by now if it wasn't for this," said Taeyang.copyright protection308PENANAq3232a4OUw312Please respect copyright.PENANACR7Vol336e
"And by other things, you mean, Hyo-rin," I said with a smirk and Taeyang confirmed it with a smile.copyright protection308PENANA7EEwApIOQz312Please respect copyright.PENANACgsz2QHCSX
"Well, now that the 312Please respect copyright.PENANA3GEgcewEPA
drama is over," said Zoey, as she hooked her arm around G-Dragon's 312Please respect copyright.PENANAdbx51sHacZ
elbow. "Why don't we do something fun? The day is almost over, you 312Please respect copyright.PENANA0kkpqro1b6

"Guys, I need to rest. I312Please respect copyright.PENANA1bIU3r4pfH

"Ya, true," said TOP. "I can see the bags under your eyes."copyright protection308PENANA5dfBfVSg5m312Please respect copyright.PENANAYcQGEsaDkF

"Fine, we will see you later back at the hotel to come check on you," said Daesung.copyright protection308PENANA8kpt0Znm7z312Please respect copyright.PENANACDXB7iOxDS

One by one, the others 312Please respect copyright.PENANAY3db2GSuGT
started to leave the room. Seungri with my brothers and Christine went 312Please respect copyright.PENANApSMfDNWbaL
out first. Taeyang and TOP also left soon after. That left the two love 312Please respect copyright.PENANAT0MaLAmWVX

"Of course I will," I said. "You guys go have as much fun as possible."copyright protection308PENANAOGDV07lzti312Please respect copyright.PENANAPEqCdPIWxR

"Come on," said Zoey tugging G-Dragon along with her.copyright protection308PENANA5jIRltu7MN312Please respect copyright.PENANA8R5aQqkfSD
When they had left and 312Please respect copyright.PENANA1HHa6K4zoL
closed the door behind them, I waited for thirty seconds to pass until I312Please respect copyright.PENANA3QUgHHdzYH
dropped myself backwards onto the couch as I closed my eyes. I sighed 312Please respect copyright.PENANADbZ2UKzRSe
in relief as I slumped myself on the couch.copyright protection308PENANAgpmZIVPLac312Please respect copyright.PENANAQoTHMTIc2a
"Phew! That was close," 312Please respect copyright.PENANA7yi7s2il2m

the others down at the parking lot.copyright protection308PENANAZRA1rhbZ9M312Please respect copyright.PENANAOwm7QHKN4b
"I've never lied like that in my entire life," I said as I looked at Lee. "And not like that in one day."copyright protection308PENANAbvT6FXkEUQ312Please respect copyright.PENANACS1MySagpy
"But it's a good thing you did," said Lee, still looking out the window. "Okay, they are leaving."copyright protection308PENANAWgGAhypizm312Please respect copyright.PENANAbboHCFbq9o

I quickly got up from 312Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZQHYLUjNm
the couch and I left with Lee. I couldn't have felt more relieved to 312Please respect copyright.PENANAYbe3BrrM7K
have left the studio. I was feeling too awkward not after what happened.copyright protection308PENANABgBzJASfLT312Please respect copyright.PENANAoYtCQP38Fv
When we got to the 312Please respect copyright.PENANAr1RdYTvdh7
hotel, the first thing I did was kick off my shoes and I went in the 312Please respect copyright.PENANAoIf4Excwe6
lounge with Lee. She was already checking for k-drama series on the TV 312Please respect copyright.PENANAbf7MZ7G8Sb
and I sat on the couch.copyright protection308PENANALNG1j3S2IV312Please respect copyright.PENANAUGclHOMz5v
"What happened to you when you were dizzy in the hallway?" Lee asked.copyright protection308PENANAHUzwLmZDdO312Please respect copyright.PENANAA2lm46X92C
"I was having my usual conversation with GD and it didn't end well," I replied.copyright protection308PENANANpjxeTnHhq312Please respect copyright.PENANAB6TDoaeU2J
Lee turned away from the TV and looked at me. "Give me details."copyright protection308PENANArXJDAyr0Sm312Please respect copyright.PENANArPKbfB46ZV
I shrugged as I read her eyes. "Something tells me you already know what happened."copyright protection308PENANAC9UjPwinZb312Please respect copyright.PENANAzuolSvlw7O

"Well, I did. But I 312Please respect copyright.PENANAaQeCeNCkyx
don't know what happened. I was so caught up in the moment I had no 312Please respect copyright.PENANA2OeWQR2IAe
control of my own body. Then guilt came in the worst possible way and 312Please respect copyright.PENANAGVhti3KYMX
prevented me from doing something I could regret doing afterwards."copyright protection308PENANAyO3Ngh3CiV312Please respect copyright.PENANAdjKzdMEOOh

fetched for my phone in the pocket. I had a message from G-Dragon.copyright protection308PENANASrR429YrU2312Please respect copyright.PENANAlyTeh9nyom
