I couldn't keep my mouth closed, and my eyes were filled with wonder as I looked out the window. The car we were in drove through the streets of Seoul with the sun beginning to set in the west and the street lights starting to brighten the streets. The city is just as beautiful as I imagined it. The beautiful skyscrapers, bright TV bulletins, and neon lights almost felt like home in L.A. or New York. But the signs and words on billboards made it quite clear that we're in South Korea now.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZdGQJGUIa
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0mtGwoFSA
"Wow, this place looks awesome," said Daniel, who sat beside me and was also looking out of the window.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxC1CAI0rV
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o6zI1BBYv
"I know, right? It's like a dream come true that we're here," said Christine, who sat behind me.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvCTTic4aW
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHaFCuTCeE
"OMG, is that an ancient palace?" I asked when I saw what looked like one from afar. Before coming here, I made sure to Google some wonderful sites I would like to visit. I had a huge interest in ancient palaces.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh0sAw88Xb
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWrp4xEGEV
"It is," said Collins. "Beautiful, isn't it?"601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKyApyYTZy
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuza3Aq1xFL
"It sure is," I said with a smile as we quickly lost sight of it.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKNRMOqzYF
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIP7kK5Lnu
We continued to follow the car ahead and soon found ourselves at a beautiful hotel: the Seoul Hotel. Before we could get out of the car, bright, flashing lights came into view through the windows. The paparazzi. It looks like news travels fast around here too. These people always made me feel uncomfortable.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI95bceSW5X
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYbsbu2ZFb
When the doors of the car flew open, Collins and Lee stepped out first. Mike, Zoey, and Christine excitedly followed. If there's one thing they like about being famous, it's the bright lights and attention. Even though we've been in the spotlight for almost two years, I'm still not used to it, especially dealing with the paparazzi and reporters. The attention I get from my fans is more than enough.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9xcZ4YWWW
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn09k7LcZ0
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Daniel asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm16mT4UEmE
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqtpm3BkEj
"Yeah, I am," I said, trying to pull myself together.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7IhmACmjQ
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlmTJIXhvp
"I know you've never liked this, but The Toxins aren't The Toxins without you," he said, giving me an encouraging smile.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnEGULWLnH
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z0S0L61K9
"It's going to take years for me to get over this."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNMHMZ6vpd
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiR1gTIOty
"Yeah, I know. Come on, we have to go."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeA2iVgg14
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6xYk4Qdk5
Daniel got out of the car, leaving me all alone. I take a deep breath, getting myself ready to step out. Before I could even get the chance, a hand appeared before me. G-Dragon is standing outside the car with his hand stretched out for me to hold on to. For the moment, I can't stop staring at him. I looked at his hand, then back. I don't know what to do, and I couldn't help but blush.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeIhrpt6Q6
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKSXBvofyZ
"Come on, we're all waiting for you," he said with a smile. "Take my hand."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Bn9lRwC7
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0NkwJfsTt
I continued to look at him, contemplating what to do next. I finally took his hand, and he delicately held mine, slowly leading me out of the car.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgpKNjtCyi
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRcbKnmdeO
The flashing lights of the cameras turned on me immediately after I put my foot out. When I fully stepped out, G-Dragon stood beside me with his hand still wrapped around mine. The cameramen and reporters were calling out to me to grab my attention. This is the part where I always try to get over my irritation and smile.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAlzMajZ86
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnlNI9umRL
G-Dragon led me down the aisle that led to the glass doors of the hotel. The rest of The Toxins and BIGBANG were already ahead, getting their pictures taken, but soon most of the media's attention turned to G-Dragon and me. They kept on calling out to us, and we paused to have our picture taken together. I am already losing my nerve, and all this made my body go stiff.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDJ66cdNMR
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kLwP5dGih
"Woah, relax, B.K." said G-Dragon as he smiled for the camera. "You don't seem too comfortable."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe82liGdM3l
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6oz3iuRWo
I blush. It looks like he read my body language. Well, this is embarrassing.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7Yehea4XE
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ct7w4icGS
"I don't like getting all the attention," I told him as I spoke in his ear.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9O8uhPYot
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaUNT2rnMd
"You deserve it." He said this while he looked at me. "Just like the whole world has their attention on you, you have mine too."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbWHjCX18k
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W45MYMLpm
Is he flirting with me? I can't tell since I can't think straight with all that's going on around us. I hadn't noticed that we were so close and that he was still holding my hand. Likewise, I wanted to pull away, but that would only look rude in front of everyone. It would also be a juicy scene for the media to show and tell.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsew4lu6jNT
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjm2E8v5Tx
He gave me that irresistible smile, and I felt like melting. He left me utterly speechless.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMa8jN67jd
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gy7ZhreXm
"Come, let's join the others," he said, and we continued to walk hand in hand down the aisle.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Ras46TRk
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROvqmb5EtO
When we got to them, we all took several group photos together. Afterwards, we went through the doors of the hotel. The media remained outside as the security guards barricaded the doors. It's always a relief to get away from those vultures.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAISM417yDB
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MDINXrc4P
"I think you can let go of my hand now," I said as I turned to face G-Dragon.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhjiKLdieY
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8sgUVEfSC
"I let go of your hand, or you let go of mine?" he asked.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvI9Y2sL20
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkUNMhNieK
I got confused, and the smirk on his face almost made me lose my mind. I want to look down at our hands, but that would only make things even more awkward. He's doing this just to torture me.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUmjw3lBen
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lSMH1vABD
I quickly slipped my hand away from his and folded my arms. He smiles and walks away, slightly brushing my shoulder with his, intentionally. I let out a sigh of relief when he left to join the others. Is it just me, or did it feel so hot in the lobby that I couldn't even breathe?601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ77WcfLzs
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvChLcRusj
Collins, Lee, and Yang Hyun-suk were by the reception desk, checking if our rooms were ready. The Toxins were huddled up with BIGBANG, talking and laughing about who knows what. They all seem to be getting along just fine. When I look around, I notice that the guards inside the lobby have made a circle around us. People were coming from the elevators, and others using the stairs coming into the lobby had their eyes on us. Some even had their phones out, taking pictures and videos. A small group of teenage girls were excited upon seeing The Toxins and BIGBANG together.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecUvjQi2fV
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliMLSVYU4B
"I see that Ji Yong is troubling you," said Taeyang as he came over, breaking away from the others.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt36jngBjW
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU64ufvtAR3
"Well, not really," I said. "And here I thought Seungri was the devious one."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlsnKFvJhx
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVJqRW3oNg
"Don't mind him. He does that all the time."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocKfqLfOG8
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTQSgfiurR
"Does he do that just to make any girl fall for him?"601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaVh7fR1JQ
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiurO7hKx2H
"Not really. The thing is, no one ever knows what his real intentions are."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5vAQBJ5mz
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnLKnzuAGV
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." I smiled.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs36s5AsJnc

"Yeah, I'm definitely screwed." I playfully hit my head with my hand, laughing nervously. "People would start to think otherwise, huh?"601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYU5l6hOp1
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq2MPqN0rL
"I don't think people would come to any conclusion. You just met."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw0H1fJQgA

While Taeyang and I continued talking, we soon heard noises. There seemed to be confusion outside the circle of guards. The next thing I knew, I felt something grab my leg, and when I looked, I gasped.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHWjzro5hF
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1WKMHe9YI
Holding onto my leg is a beautiful young girl in a lovely white dress. She looked to be three to four years old. And I am captivated by her cuteness.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxrKcRErsv
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai63Bmelmi
"Aww, look who we have here," I said softly. I went down on one knee after the little girl let go of my leg. I gently held her chin up, and she gave me a bright smile. Likewise, I smiled back.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq7mWzIqk3
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVOvsJ3raj
"She's so cute. What do you think?" I asked Taeyang.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwN4tw1JfE
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjvCuuiI6b
"She is," he replied. "It seems she likes you."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1j3TG6kgG
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2b5wNn0kV
I smiled at Taeyang, and I looked back at the little girl. She stretched out her hand to me, and in it was a beautiful white flower, which she held by the stem. I looked at it, then back at the young girl, whose bright smile made my heart flutter.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fPuJgQCe7
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHWfywlBR5
"Is this for me?" I asked softly.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCuEav6XpB
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G659LwSfJ
The little girl nodded, and my smile widened even more. I slowly took the white flower, then carried the little girl in my arms, hugging her.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjb3ICTT7i
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVxSVynMVA
I noticed that all this took everyone's attention, and people were either filming or taking pictures. They still kept their distance because of the guards. I stood up straight with the girl in my arms and ran my hand through her black, silky hair. I start to look around for the girl's parents when I see a woman standing outside the circle, staring at the girl in my arms. It seems like she's the girl's mother because she had a look on her face only a mother could have. The little girl looked on at the same woman, and I made the connection. I make my way over to her.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZfkgkxAYl
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn08IPDkM5
"Sorry for the trouble," the woman said to me when I got closer. "She can really be jumpy sometimes."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ079bi2BkMs
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDSkeAy1ia
"No, not at all," I said. "You've got a very beautiful daughter."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05zkIQFoSM
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD54jl1Z6Y2
"Thank you," the woman said with a smile.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9P1ZGyAvm
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbfI3WI63S
The guards standing between the woman and me made way, and I gave the little girl back to her mother. The girl waved goodbye, and I also did the same. The woman took her daughter away, heading for the elevator. I looked at the flower in my hand and smiled. When I turned around, everybody else in the circle, including the two managers and Lee, was staring at me.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpwqa71hsy
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVlQKkysft
"What?" I shrug my shoulders.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2oEpjVyca
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ5EwOf20l
Taeyang looked at me in a way I can't describe. I can't tell if he was amazed at what happened or at me. In any way, he made me blush, and I felt uncomfortable in my own skin.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSAdDUrHiK
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E4R7vSzFa
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask him.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspLbpRYSYB
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWXGOvg2Xy
"Um, nothing," Taeyang said with a smile. "I was only wondering. That little girl really likes you, and you seem to be good with children."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mNYj2SFnt
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4riY2js9q
"Or she was just an adorable, cute fan of mine that managed to pass through the guards just to give me a flower."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh5hKeg01M
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwiWp0iNwr
Taeyang laughed, and I blushed even more. I looked the other way so that he wouldn't notice.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldCRHbTca0
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXetBl203dd
"You don't know how valuable you are, do you?"601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclE82GwltL
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzogqoTrtt6
I look at him, and my heart begins to race. What did he mean by that? Somehow, I felt like I knew, but I didn't want to acknowledge it. I looked down at my feet, not even willing to look up.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADPvvFisgs
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc8n9SnAR5
I felt Taeyang hold the bottom of my chin with his fingers and slowly lift my face to stare into his kind eyes. For a moment, I got lost in them.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFXohbzmUm
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKWg4a3ipD
"Did I say something wrong?" he asked softly. Damn! His voice was like music to my ears, and I felt so drawn to him. Wake up, Sam, I told myself. I have to snap out of it.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpM44OrFUO
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafEU5ESfc2
"I'm sorry if I did," he continued when I didn't answer. Dang it! That sweet voice moved me again. "But you do know how extraordinary you are, don't you?"601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Q4TRy3wh
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMWTuDzfiY
I swallowed. That's one question I couldn't answer. Luckily, Collins announced that it was time to go up to our rooms. That's a relief. At the moment, I wanted to be as far away from every BIGBANG member as possible.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2U3Hpy0dx
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgsaxuUie0
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey, who had a huge smile on her face as she headed for the elevator. Christine and Daniel followed.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RUMa0QUxk
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmzUdZzbzd
"I better get going," I told Taeyang.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmff6lOLyl
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcBk9HEbFC
"See you tomorrow, then," he said. "Maybe then we can get on the dance floor and see who has the best moves."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBZq4CBdNm
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgRQIeVsu7
"You're on," said Mike as he walked past us, joining the others in the elevator.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp6XzWOigW
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZLdg1cXVR
"I'll see you tomorrow," I said.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaNzHfz4Po
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mKCWc3epz
"Make sure you dream about me, alright?" came T.O.P.'s voice as he came and whispered right in my ear. I didn't see him coming, and I felt a chill run down my spine at the sound of his husky voice. These guys are driving me crazy.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaD0nBXKKq
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD58uC6Mv2
"See you tomorrow, T.O.P." I turned around to face him as he gave me that bad-boy smile of his.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvpQT9Bzoy
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYjL7BL9Mz
I said goodbye to Daesung and Seungri, who both hugged me in return. G-Dragon came over, and I wanted to roll my eyes at him but surprisingly failed to do so. I'm not ready to put up with him again. I felt like running for my life towards the elevator, but I stood there, waiting for what was to come.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF9AQmlxTM
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueyp25CfVk
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, my little black kitty," he said softly. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he said that.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtgKSZOHFq
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPzwY8pN1R
"What did you-?"601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeoj0k5Lej
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdSoCtyncP
Before I could finish my sentence, G-Dragon quickly pecked me on the cheek. I am so stunned that I can't move. I didn't know he would do that, and it felt wrong on so many levels.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HtfS1Zz2l
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwQCc1pX3y
When I gather my composure, I quickly walk away and join the others in the elevator. Before the doors closed, I looked up to see G-Dragon staring at me with that corky smile on his face, and he gave me a wink.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWli4MAfRt

"What just happened out there?" Zoey asked.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy3VDMWoJ8
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPBefIGo5H
I threw myself onto the comfortable bed, landing on my back with my eyes closed. I want to forget all that has happened. Furthermore, I feel so tired, and I need to rest, but my mind won't let me. And so is Zoey.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAywehA4elK
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvcCO0qbMc
"Hello, B.K. I'm talking to you." I felt Zoey come to sit beside me and shake me.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BKa8hbRdv
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KDXYeiuk4
"May I please rest?" I whined with my eyes still closed. "You know I'm tired."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wRIElHImY

"So many things happened today," I said as I opened my eyes. "I suggest you be more specific."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy6UifZTN6

"Let's start with the time you were walking down the aisle with G-Dragon."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIjs4mWP9c
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPZv7KZk7d
"What?" I sat up. "Don't tell me you are jealous."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvmocZrIdO
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL4ctFzRIY
"You heard me. Start talking." Zoey looked at me in a way that my mother would whenever I did something wrong.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBqsPf2L7b
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfooYVZOwj
"You're jealous," mocked Christine, who sat on the other bed opposite Zoey and me.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlE6sBjFkz
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJZBJR6JDl
"Christine, ssh! Come on, Sam, start talking." Zoey looked serious. That didn't shock me at all.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspZbIijetW
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugppyOOFqw
I shrugged my shoulders. "It was nothing, really. He just helped me out of the car, and we walked down the aisle together."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGLEOHYZOX
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe7YSeyUKp
"Really? You two were walking down the aisle like newlyweds! And he gave you a goodbye kiss before we left." She sighed. "I wish he gave me one too."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYZLXDSfBy
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeNMJ60qWK
"You're overreacting, Zoey." I roll my eyes. "It's not like we'll ever be in a relationship. Apart from being friends, that is."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWDUQKusgi
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNudqIO7n9L
"I know," said Christine. "We just met these guys today, and you're already making a mountain out of a molehill."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1zNp0CdAz
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdhl80YBLp
"And you think Taeyang wasn't drooling over Sam in the lobby?" Zoey asked. "I thought you liked Tae."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk2UPSfb6a
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi5VNWJ8qT
"Yeah, but he's already dating someone else, so I'm not worried," said Christine with a smile on her face. "I only like him because I'm a fan. You, on the other hand, are acting like once upon a time, G-Dragon was your boyfriend, and then you two broke up when you just met him face-to-face today."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjaBfeqKj1
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvUOCVKPRF
"I agree," I said. "You are one hell of a drama queen, Zoey. You can have G-Dragon because I'm not interested."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNGqQKSmRj
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7c5Fyaybh
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I might have been a little jealous."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAtExdnFM2
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfp3wODEwI
Zoey gave me puppy-dog eyes so that I could forgive her. I smile and shake my head, but she persistently continues with the look.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6hwQs8Ie3
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF1Rt7wLo9
"Please stop doing that; you're no longer three." I laughed.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKqk2RVkpd

"Whatever. I'm just excited that I'm finally in Korea," she said with a grin.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSVRL1N59x
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX8ihd20YK
"Yeah, me too." I stood and walked over to the window. The sky was completely dark, and the bright lights of the city shone brightly in the dark night.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6dXQDMZzr
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e6akUBjCa
"So, Christine, you're going to share the other room with Lee," I heard Zoey tell Christine. "Sam and I will be in this room. Wow, these beds are so comfortable." I hear her bounce up and down. "I'll sleep like a baby tonight."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ23I7eusF
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvp7SGpxXK
All of a sudden, the door to the room flew open, and Lee came flying in, landing on the other bed Christine is sitting on. We all look at her, wondering what's going on.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtOmxVF1TH
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKQSWXyDHg
"Hey, are you okay?" Christine asked.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NWbn3edMc

"Sam, you're everywhere, like everywhere," said Lee as she looked at me. She clearly isn't making any sense.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqZZdgmHBx
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7e6aoDfON
"I'm everywhere? What do you mean?" I asked.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvrkVo9lZ2

"Pictures of you with G-Dragon, the time you were with that little girl and Taeyang, everything. People are just talking about you!"601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNGqmgjU87
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsqD6cbOFQ
Lee had her phone, and she held it up for all of us to see. Christine, Zoey, and I got close enough to look at the screen. And just like she said, there were many pictures of me and G-Dragon. Lee continued to scroll downward. There were more: some with me and the little girl, and others with Taeyang. There were also pictures of all The Toxins and BIGBANG members, but the photos of me were a little too much.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6MwNRZfGP

"Wow, I'm not looking forward to seeing the entertainment news tomorrow," I said as I continued to look at the pictures.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMINQZC31v1
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKDrefMubD
"OMG!" said Zoey, her eyes still fixed on the screen. "There are pictures of you everywhere, Sam."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMmOfOSFdQ
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJaNrhA7Fq
"Nah, we're all there," I said. "I'm just a little unfortunate."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEky7TSyQ8
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIMRswqvN5
"Did you just say unfortunate?" Zoey asked as she looked at me with her eyebrows raised. "So many pictures of you, and you're saying you're unfortunate?"601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3Mwu34Psy
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVhOqBq8EO
"Okay, I better shut up because I'm clearly not helping," I said as I walked back to the window.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nXqfZ6LNY

Suddenly, Mike and Daniel came into the room through the open door.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPTVdodzjd
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaulnsVkwUf
"Guys, you're supposed to knock first," said Christine. "This is a girls' room, you know."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOukpJXiHQ
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREh7kFqAFq
"You won't believe what's on Facebook," said Mike, completely ignoring Christine.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFleYsu5DP
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESRaVYboK5
"If you're talking about Sam, we already know," said Zoey.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxVItUiEET

"This is annoying," I said. "I didn't want this."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDFlAA5pvx
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcCsH1axfY
"No one said you did," said Lee. "It just so happens that you caught people's attention."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw2v1OfaGl
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0AvvMSoW7
"It looks like you've gained so much attention yet again," said Daniel. "Wait until Collins sees this."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsBMApIKV4
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXBaLLneJ6
"I'm so tired right now," said Christine as she yawned. "But I need to have something to eat first."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL0Kq8XMAh
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGec82S1FI
"Food will be brought up soon," said Lee. "Collins thinks it's too risky to go downstairs since there are still fans and the media around."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWx3c4lJRO
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpaAAeLgG2
"Staying here is fine with me," I said. "As long as I don't get my picture taken putting something in my mouth."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBcjXZGHFQ
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JsjpE693E
"Haha, now you're just exaggerating," said Zoey. "Just accept that somehow you caught the world's attention. Besides, this isn't the first time the Black Kitty has stolen the show."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OtXCnproN
601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy4c9MDEyK
I look at Zoey, and I have to admit, she's right. There were plenty of times when I "stole the show," as everybody puts it. But this time, it wasn't the whole U.S., but South Korea and other parts of the world combined. I'm not ready to check my phone because of all the notifications I would receive. I might as well just flush it down the toilet.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvhVtAapJx

Looking out the window upon the beautiful city, still holding the flower the little girl gave me in my hand, I couldn't help but think of what Taeyang told me down in the lobby if I knew how valuable I am. I felt like a priceless diamond for the entire world to see. Some people would have liked the feeling, but I didn't.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWRVN4pQHU

When supper arrived, we all ate, and everyone retired to sleep soon afterwards. As I lay down on my bed and Zoey is fast asleep on the other, I can't help but think of what will happen tomorrow. We were going to take a tour of Seoul. I am already so filled with excitement that I forgot all about the drama with BIGBANG, the media, and everything else. In what felt like seconds, I quickly dozed off to sleep.
