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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEjVv58ULL
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScURtgTbxS
"Wow, this place looks awesome," said Daniel, who sat beside me and was also looking out of the window.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYd3FTJk7P
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxltUn0J1S
"I know, right? It's like a dream come true that we're here," said Christine, who sat behind me.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvEnoAzrpx
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MmcEZHhUN
"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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PSaZXfMg4

"It is," said Collins. "Beautiful, isn't it?"1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtGNResvDJ
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxy2xuePjB
"It sure is," I said with a smile as we quickly lost sight of it.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJwMXY7SM
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHP4ZCduCU
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XzV4aDVIJ
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRpebCfDRs
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC8xSBW4U3
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2kPvVnNu3
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Daniel asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDyyFiaTu0
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzobpUG53S
"Yeah, I am," I said, trying to pull myself together.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiKU5ty7mK
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv7iBXTcEB
"I know you've never liked this, but The Toxins aren't The Toxins without you," he said, giving me an encouraging smile.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAUArJkXwk
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm8Vgw9KIO
"It's going to take years for me to get over this."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEYNsHFhhi

"Yeah, I know. Come on, we have to go."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggWJ4PYeNB
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WXtjlS7WK
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UNxls2dZl
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiC7tNhHV2
"Come on, we're all waiting for you," he said with a smile. "Take my hand."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWQDapwvtz
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr2lb8lvoT
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNMumhTZAC
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t8bH6SRLc
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauHjM9rUMH
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9REv4AB4CF
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfqb94iY4K
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY8ANE8MgQ
"Woah, relax, B.K." said G-Dragon as he smiled for the camera. "You don't seem too comfortable."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRZiXzokjr
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMjaHkl6Cj
I blush. It looks like he read my body language. Well, this is embarrassing.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeB7676RhS
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTDMADphA1
"I don't like getting all the attention," I told him as I spoke in his ear.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M4ckrzyu2
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwf0HOtWQr
"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."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o2CHnziwI
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2kfMQ8Tas
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu3gcn5bFP
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXXTmyJLlc
He gave me that irresistible smile, and I felt like melting. He left me utterly speechless.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ez2htYpD
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFPNddL7TR
"Come, let's join the others," he said, and we continued to walk hand in hand down the aisle.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53juglTRp8
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JtP4yEzZj
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GuQURapr
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmedN6Zh1O0
"I think you can let go of my hand now," I said as I turned to face G-Dragon.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABJmID5nH1
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqN5irQuiA
"I let go of your hand, or you let go of mine?" he asked.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC7en50Hb8
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOAtShOIp6
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jF0YZVUvs
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9s2MAwbBy
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?1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3TCov7fvv
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLkR0MhOGS
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxXSCBGEXb
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZTMTL9J5C
"I see that Ji Yong is troubling you," said Taeyang as he came over, breaking away from the others.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQfGyFpcXy

"Don't mind him. He does that all the time."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHAMAuWx6h

"Yeah, I'm definitely screwed." I playfully hit my head with my hand, laughing nervously. "People would start to think otherwise, huh?"1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlge2m1bT4
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfkX8wTDoQ

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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mLf6A8gmq
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpR4KJLaNm
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafzR9DTrTL
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR50F8e9lgm
"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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb99Z3Cy9H
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa8wNUham8
"She's so cute. What do you think?" I asked Taeyang.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErIY71PpYV
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp3qshFWDA
"She is," he replied. "It seems she likes you."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iees4Pi7J
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9iAe6NjHC
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXclnr3Eyo0
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbIKeRsTTi
"Is this for me?" I asked softly.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Ughef1Si
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXSgEUXWRk
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fKBTIqKCK
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviB2twQYfg
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsN8ad1tjm
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fr313TxJ7
"Sorry for the trouble," the woman said to me when I got closer. "She can really be jumpy sometimes."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xUeyCkbic
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvdQTVEVJ4
"No, not at all," I said. "You've got a very beautiful daughter."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x9jhDmNAZ
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHFkrvHx5q
"Thank you," the woman said with a smile.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1rMPKIAq6
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rzG0ZxVlc
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvNSC6AiB2
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfsgfET7kW
"What?" I shrug my shoulders.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO4t4wQzaR
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVBDFGEopW
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIt3VGyQ6D
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC06N1ym2wh
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask him.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRcX67fhzm
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08NkSI9jOS
"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."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdHs2IdEFP
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTPQiazO7d
"Or she was just an adorable, cute fan of mine that managed to pass through the guards just to give me a flower."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadMHDb7xE2
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVRdusCGLX
Taeyang laughed, and I blushed even more. I looked the other way so that he wouldn't notice.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9to5t225s5
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNzAKiXZSX
"You don't know how valuable you are, do you?"1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHbn7JRsDd
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpNYZDqsON
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxDu7jJIet
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRJh5mcnDT
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNPgx0qZgU
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJy7pUMpUU
"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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyHx3uo8oR
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4XKlqL6T8
"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?"1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCExbxmmMG
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWUpQO8t29
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljdFaKopvz
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgczo52wOR
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey, who had a huge smile on her face as she headed for the elevator. Christine and Daniel followed.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY5g83oGuT
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwptqNSModP
"I better get going," I told Taeyang.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPmQkzicNO
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIOl0k0nSj
"See you tomorrow, then," he said. "Maybe then we can get on the dance floor and see who has the best moves."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBEtA1Vvpx
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd71ixiWDy
"You're on," said Mike as he walked past us, joining the others in the elevator.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL8OS1LGhc

"I'll see you tomorrow," I said.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYAvG7H3GO
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hzRIoNJXw
"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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGjP6zahTt
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmYXbIeyJI
"See you tomorrow, T.O.P." I turned around to face him as he gave me that bad-boy smile of his.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0mqhXitbS
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwPlv0JsiQ
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qSJY2JXmH
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50tPV4TXuA
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, my little black kitty," he said softly. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he said that.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla1VbnRrae
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmISxkjJ1Q
"What did you-?"1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKZThlflfJ
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzp3bUHaOP
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzssJmT0DvN
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUN7w9TxHV
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY91QkPi8Y

"What just happened out there?" Zoey asked.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB48XKCpvy
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxhdJg1fh8
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1cNIDU6oN
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5hsGCOSqQ
"Hello, B.K. I'm talking to you." I felt Zoey come to sit beside me and shake me.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1Cgfg5duF

1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVpoCjy8xc
"What?" I sat up. "Don't tell me you are jealous."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQBDltCs6w
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevHVHFRIov
"You heard me. Start talking." Zoey looked at me in a way that my mother would whenever I did something wrong.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK9gp7ytAu
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eb1tNpOvw
"You're jealous," mocked Christine, who sat on the other bed opposite Zoey and me.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PfUbwKM0C
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlKhf6jmxA
"Christine, ssh! Come on, Sam, start talking." Zoey looked serious. That didn't shock me at all.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmWYVpuf44
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXpigQ0YKq
I shrugged my shoulders. "It was nothing, really. He just helped me out of the car, and we walked down the aisle together."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfpyhnAJ65
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX2CmSluZ6
"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."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1z5Vxl2kL
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDSx86dJMe
"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."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ841OcCB5ow
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rP04ZzSk7

1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ782d8cH6Et
"And you think Taeyang wasn't drooling over Sam in the lobby?" Zoey asked. "I thought you liked Tae."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuxgZV8fRd
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqDtPJRuru
"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."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWFCyUuxmm
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dZcjWKFTs
"I agree," I said. "You are one hell of a drama queen, Zoey. You can have G-Dragon because I'm not interested."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0EaL9DjWz

"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I might have been a little jealous."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SgGsBc34G

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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh9Lp1nJnb

"Please stop doing that; you're no longer three." I laughed.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYziDJqap7

"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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQM7fJhP1d
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20k1gUTXLM
"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."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2a32uCXQ6

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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK2PNaBu50
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerMMxILpqC
"Hey, are you okay?" Christine asked.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBlJJM7Xww
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH3cGNTTlX
"Have you checked what's online?" Lee asked, almost out of breath.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnVf2ynJOB
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYpZx4Ga7R
"Um, no," Zoey replied. "What is it?"1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJiRgSmz96
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj6DkfEqVs
"Sam, you're everywhere, like everywhere," said Lee as she looked at me. She clearly isn't making any sense.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGFAwmjXsk
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrLqwKZpSb
"I'm everywhere? What do you mean?" I asked.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPlWnnuYdX

"Pictures of you with G-Dragon, the time you were with that little girl and Taeyang, everything. People are just talking about you!"1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbMK8QaDk4
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrYxBEC5Wk
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgETaDKi5YW
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c5n5PXfhK
"Wow, I'm not looking forward to seeing the entertainment news tomorrow," I said as I continued to look at the pictures.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Cyu5Fw4Y
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd5Y22404p
"OMG!" said Zoey, her eyes still fixed on the screen. "There are pictures of you everywhere, Sam."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sWWBdLbsq
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66M2q7VIbf
"Nah, we're all there," I said. "I'm just a little unfortunate."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtILjAYKsGZ
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwwc89una5
"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?"1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSpU3TkKZV
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12rXfoqApj
"Okay, I better shut up because I'm clearly not helping," I said as I walked back to the window.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaNTvilmgo
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSbiMlyDTp
Suddenly, Mike and Daniel came into the room through the open door.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuqcLFQaKC
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUkXjo4uia
"Guys, you're supposed to knock first," said Christine. "This is a girls' room, you know."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ5uLYKIyN
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkEFlg2BJ2
"You won't believe what's on Facebook," said Mike, completely ignoring Christine.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN3YE3pvjL
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRpTkebb9D
"If you're talking about Sam, we already know," said Zoey.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO33ExJjtJ
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwxIq7xXnK
"This is annoying," I said. "I didn't want this."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIL0F9ffLU
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqefrZOwnL
"No one said you did," said Lee. "It just so happens that you caught people's attention."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapm5GV0KUC
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQDzj8POWd
"It looks like you've gained so much attention yet again," said Daniel. "Wait until Collins sees this."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpHycUGTip
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34b18D5yG6
"I'm so tired right now," said Christine as she yawned. "But I need to have something to eat first."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbwnwObfhr
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvPznluoUE
"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."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPurJBHEqh
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdsRgAEq3W
"Staying here is fine with me," I said. "As long as I don't get my picture taken putting something in my mouth."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmHAZ8xZ4u
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRjHQVmU7J
"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."1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPjad0LIXa
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwJRqMaNNT
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjVqcYvKbW
1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmNkK5OJka
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl20rsUwFwl

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.
