"I feel like I'm back at school all over again," Zoey complained as she scratched her scalp, her hair already looking messy.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAT51PUtfbXT
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3PCQNZvDao
"Tell me about it," I said as I leaned back further on the couch. "I don't think I can take this anymore."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIyyjvoJDk7
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAusVsFy9U9p
"This is tiring!" said Daniel, who had his body and his face flat on the floor.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwSJQ1RZvwf
1000Please respect copyright.PENANALdgmxSCC92
"Do we really have to know all of this?" Mike asked lazily as he lay on one of the couches alone.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXoCYmQYwKu
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWZGQEaL4eG
"Do we have any other choice?" I asked him.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdVVA003hYs
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXIi9M7JkWe
"Well, I've got one," said Christine, who sat beside me. "I can easily just pack up and fly back home."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGRzGDLH14g
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdxoCeLnE7J
"You're bluffing, and you know it," said Daniel, still flat on the floor.1000Please respect copyright.PENANACavqKAkIXb
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhLwDOUUsUj
"Can we order coffee?" Zoey asked. "I need a lot of caffeine. Urgently."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAk0ocmm9j9B
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYD0Z1CzF1p
"You don't need coffee," said Mike. "A healthy breakfast filled with eggs, bacon, bread, and juice is all you need."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6shLHGL20
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgP0zHU1GHN
"Morning, Toxins," said Collins as he entered the lounge. "How's your reading going?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANANjvdS8wrMy
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcTI6OXN6CC
"Reading? It's more like studying until you're brain dead," said Zoey. "Why do we have to know all of these rules?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAarEKOHIssE
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFzig7a4rpp
"Yeah, I thought we were visitors and supposed to be treated likewise," I said, furrowing my eyebrows. "Instead, it looks like we're back to the same old routine of following whatever the board says; only this time, it's Yang Hyun-suk."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZTKRic7uvM
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZFVSxGXuT9
"And you think I would’ve done something about it?" Collins asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA56ywmO1L8c
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAv9608nx1OP
"Yes!" the five of us replied simultaneously.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJC4LCI9Uy7
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfCK9ejXJ0W
"Things are a lot more complicated than you think. You can wrap up now. You need to go for practice."1000Please respect copyright.PENANANJUftREXWT
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZHy4jKFtA2
"Finally! I thought you would never say that," said Daniel, who quickly got up from the floor.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMOD9hvPaM6
1000Please respect copyright.PENANATTWdd8QvR8
Zoey yawned and stretched her arms out. She looked like a yawning lion with her scruffy hair. "Thank goodness," she said. "Something fun to do except read this pamphlet."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHwF8ICoaMF
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaRqIMEDQHr
We received brochures last night explaining the guidelines we had to abide by whenever we were on YG premises. These were the same rules that YG trainees and artists follow. It didn't feel right at first, but just like Collins put it, if we want to collaborate with BIGBANG with no problems, we've got to follow the rules.1000Please respect copyright.PENANANJ8IWeekGg
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjC2RkH1Fyh
We woke up an hour early before heading to practice to read in the lounge. We were still in our pajamas and looked as tired as hell from last night. However, we managed to read the pamphlet. Hopefully, we learned a thing or two.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWGUsyB4uEF
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGZDA0iBWPN
"Okay, so get changed and meet us downstairs in ten minutes," said Collins.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAclyPPie3of
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAg7dqdGvNqF
"Aye, aye, captain," said Zoey, giving Collins a mocking hand salute. Collins rolled his eyes at her and left for the elevator.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAN1eRowJ0RZ
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKBnoExQ2yx
After we got ourselves ready, we went downstairs to the car. This time, we weren't going to the gym. We were to start training at YG. It's a good thing, but with all the rules we've got to follow, you could think twice about going.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAixW0CswbsY
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlO60nlaLGO
When we got there, we went straight to one of the dance studios and started practicing, trying to shake off the feeling of following the rules.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMLsucWHNv2
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAA7Wt7oCoqP
While we were at it, we heard the door to the studio fly open. We all stopped to look, as the door stood slightly ajar. For a moment, no one walked in. We started to wonder if there was anyone there.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAB13rBTzr3t
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuKu127ufec
"Check who is at the door," Zoey said to me quietly.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASn5vix5J2U
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6mpd4ZbNiD
"Why should I check?" I asked, also with my voice tuned down.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAj2WXFoXeKC
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA9YSwYvIz5A
"Daa, you're the leader."1000Please respect copyright.PENANARxs4DfhvOz
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhVU17Ocnvr
"And what if there's someone out there wanting to kill me?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdEkWocwZ2r
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4KGr1Ouir8
"You're one who isn't even afraid of watching horror movies. Just go check."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAE2t4tqtB1h
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnrpYDVENPr
I rolled my eyes and went quietly towards the door. When I got there, I fully opened it to find no one. Before I could step out of the room to check the corridor, someone jumped in front of me, blocking my way.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4rxHDeFvD1
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGGzLED1g1x
"What the.....!"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYVpUQbSXl3
1000Please respect copyright.PENANABJMuE9tPt4
G-Dragon had jumped right in front of me. I almost lost balance and was falling backward. However, he quickly held my waist and pulled me towards him. We were in such an awkward position that anyone could easily mistake the two of us for wanting to kiss each other. We were so close that even my face was just inches away from his. I felt an electroshock rush down my spine from his touch as I was caught staring into his eyes.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQoH0Dqiic6
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEG6M073QtL
"Hey, BK," said G-Dragon with a dashing smile on his face. "Did you miss me?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAt7GXz5dQw0
1000Please respect copyright.PENANArRYHux3PbN
I'm a little lost for words. Everything came as a surprise. Moreover, I couldn't stop staring into his eyes. I couldn't figure out why I was so mesmerized by just looking at them.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOgqsD7m5Qy
1000Please respect copyright.PENANASYPvujIxOu
"Hello? Sam, can you hear me?" he asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANApZF7gEMqYg
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2qRWBF5Jur
I shook my head, and I found myself furrowing my eyebrows at him.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmTvsXx95Jj
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtb30UWjpXa
"You should really stop doing that!" I said. "You almost gave me a heart attack."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAsKSfGZaUVt
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPWhD87TkAM
"Really? You should check yourself first before you blame me for anything," said G-Dragon. "A moment ago, you looked like you wanted to kiss me."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjQNecjB43S
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWgKSm3IzWV
My eyes almost fell out of their sockets, and I blushed like crazy. I wanted to slap him, but I couldn't raise my hand. Fighting and disrespecting others within the YG premises is a punishable offense. Then again, I wanted to slap him so badly to wipe that grin off his face.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhVbgaz7g88
1000Please respect copyright.PENANANYBTapnPDy
"Aren't you going to say anything, my little kitty?" G-Dragon asked as he smirked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA51j2pWzP5y
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOf3i9ez1J7
"I-uh-" I'm starting to lose my patience. "I hate you, Ji Yong."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAakbybzHeWe
1000Please respect copyright.PENANATpn7m3Xm0y
"Says the girl who's still staring into my eyes and yearning to kiss me."1000Please respect copyright.PENANArqOsy0vFNY
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhGzEgXIil3
That's it! I've had enough.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmT2M80GWkb
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAou7JZT7ykw
I quickly pushed myself away, folding my arms. G-Dragon smiled at me. It's like he enjoys mocking me, and it's so annoying. Yet I couldn't understand why I was blushing so much. I turned to look the other way.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnVQ99gtF8q
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKDEhqGybbO
"Ji Yong, you're here!" exclaimed Zoey as she ran towards him, and they hugged each other. "What happened to you yesterday? You never came with us for lunch."1000Please respect copyright.PENANABoKeiBKb9i
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAyyE0JN66ig
"I had some things to take care of," said G-Dragon. "Sorry, I couldn't come."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA18boSU9N5w
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1E8mX29BXt
"You better say sorry to Sam," said Christine. "It was her special day yesterday, and she was so upset that you didn't show."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAb7PZIO9QOE
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJpTHK1C9IY
I quickly looked over at Christine, and I gave her the "I'm going to kill you" look.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXb9XsXRLyn
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1JxLQ6zkqw
"You see, she's still mad now," said Christine, pointing at me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANADJZzWi1Rks
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMurH44s8F5
I rolled my eyes and placed my hand over my forehead. All this is giving me a headache.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAX7kwBxSYtp
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA9u1W237TiA
"Now I see why she is so upset with me this morning," said G-Dragon as he looked over at me with one eyebrow raised, giving me that bad boy stare. I quickly looked away, as I could still feel myself blushing.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUlJoBMG9W1
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgm1siltHGN
"You better have come with something to make her forgive you, or else she will stay mad at you forever," said Mike.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUabPEivBza
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAH5egCJTIwD
OMG! The last thing I need is for my brother to join in this charade.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlc4BlmqkMY
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAT5pQBhtfjw
"Don't worry, I've got just the thing to cheer her up," said G-Dragon.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJHlLoyknRC
1000Please respect copyright.PENANApaJ0UkxGtA
I rolled my eyes, as I still had my back facing the others. What could he possibly do to cheer me up?1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiCcsB2fvKO
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhXz1l9JWU2
The next thing I knew, my nose caught a whiff of something flowery. Before I could turn to check where the smell was coming from, a bouquet of red roses filled my vision. I can't believe what I'm seeing. They were really roses. Moreover, they looked lovely. Where did they come from?1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGJbvxa6yFE
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7kDYYPlVbN
"How did you know I love roses?" I asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAy0OFEKOv3j
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8PAEliKoYK
"It's easy to tell what you like nowadays with social media around," said G-Dragon, who stood right behind me and whispered in my ear.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAvgtr2t59p
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAf37IztYNBx
Oh, yeah. I forgot we had that.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlsXR0DnKFy
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEAs3etFTcI
I took the roses and sniffed them. They smelled lovely. At that moment, I forgot that I was even mad.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGXC99ER1Wp
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcQXrCk79eu
"So, you're not mad at me anymore?" G-Dragon asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4YRT4I3rej
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKloRkJ2yRC
I turned around to give him my answer when I stopped short at the sight of a box of chocolates in his hands. Chocolates? Why did he have chocolates?1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkqEPPFBROI
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjv4VwVDVeY
As though he read my mind, G-Dragon said, "I got a box of chocolates for you just in case the flowers wouldn't be enough to forgive me. I know you love chocolates. Well, almost every girl does."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzx5QntneKx
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwYL2o8Wofg
I'm completely lost for words. I never expected this, especially from him. Was I dreaming, or was this G-Dragon standing in front of me a fake?1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1mj4jbKEp5
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q4tvVSZ9Z
"Wow, thanks, GD," I said. "To be honest, I'm not mad at you for not being around yesterday."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQZVlgLWD3B
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHD040TO2Az
"I know. I just wanted to make up for it. And by the way, congratulations."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhDK1ujM6mL
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxrdL9i8ivl
"Thanks." I couldn't stop blushing. In addition, it felt quite embarrassing.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAwRt35dnFF
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPZQBjXqJRo
"Aww, this video is going to go viral," said Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAG8vdGEtooN
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWsQzKtx3eT
When I turned to face Zoey, I noticed that she had her phone camera pointed at us.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcM4Su3UFHD
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdtZJOfuWHM
"Zoey, are you recording this?" I asked even when I already knew the answer.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbEm65G1fnX
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAG0MtPzuFIT
"Yeah, who wouldn't?" Zoey asked. "There's nothing you can do about it, though. I've already posted it online."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5jLvI4kord
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1xmtag571r
"What! Zoey, how could you?" I stormed towards her, and I felt as if, at any moment, lightning would flash out of my eyes and zap her.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAp5sJ1DXYAH
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUlAm9j4qrs
"Whoa!" Zoey backed away a little as I approached. "Sam, chill out. It's just a video, okay? It's nothing serious."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVXxXYlhiPT
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4sUld6dB20
"Well, it is serious," I said, trying to keep my voice down so as not to attract attention outside the room. "You just filmed us and posted that video without our permission."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAv39FxnguMt
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA68mCfNG03G
"Great, Zoey," said Daniel. "You just made Sam more upset."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAweTOCysMRy
1000Please respect copyright.PENANATvw0SJFkqP
"Sam, relax, okay?" said Zoey. "Don't worry; I'll delete it before anyone sees it."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVglDr2Desc
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZRAMN27M6
When Zoey checked her phone, the look on her face made me realize that she was a little too late.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6FKYOKLhHb
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiNoday5382
"Whoops," Zoey said, as she gave me an apologetic look.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnf2f28EQ49
1000Please respect copyright.PENANArUjdGJzfVb
"You just made things worse, didn't you?" Daniel asked as he shook his head.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1brVswnrMh
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4gnUpkyNgp
"I'm so dead," I said, also shaking my head.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAs1epCknZ5R
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtq0MPEvWXD
"I'm sorry, Sam," said Zoey. "It already has 15 views. It's probably on YouTube since I posted it on my fan page."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkgdEXJ0igR
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiAybxPkkS2
"Sometimes I wonder why you're ever around me," I said through my teeth.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxLW4F1saec
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKRNf9JfgeA
"Chill, B.K." said G-Dragon as he came to stand beside me. "What's done is done. Don't worry about a thing."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaS17ne5Ft2
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFOWSVVJwSj
I took a sniff of the roses and said to Zoey, "You're so lucky I've got roses and chocolates to lighten my mood. Otherwise, I would've killed you today."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5LbVuAj8hR
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYVCYOmuz0M
"It looks like we've got G-Dragon to thank," said Mike. "You really know how to mess things up, Zoey."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5lU8PlngDT
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAB1EQW8IReM
"Thanks, Mike. You're making me feel ten times worse," said Zoey with a frown.1000Please respect copyright.PENANArwaPb2WZSk
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1bWMZMU17n
"Can we please put this behind us and continue practicing?" Daniel asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4pGJfqyBuT
1000Please respect copyright.PENANABAqDHNTNQo
"To be honest, I don't feel like it anymore," I said. "Zoey just ruined my mood."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAN7qRU7Siz7
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8Fx9eEXmGQ
"Hey, I said I'm sorry," said Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5FuNm3kawi
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgSfCouExkb
"Alright," said G-Dragon, clapping his hands to grab our attention. "Then we can go to the recording studio. We've got to start coming up with the song today."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA9PLY5gfUUB
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2Jlb3hmde5
"Oh, I completely forgot about that," said Christine.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2y7BhQMnSD
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZ70qmRsAFD
"Let's go freshen up first," said Mike.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGXnPwKWEEw
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMhQprUxyI6
"Let's do that," I said as I quickly took the box of chocolates away from G-Dragon. "And I'll be taking that."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxKbUcUTlGo
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA15rzJ5zLiL
I quickly walked out of the studio, with Christine and Zoey following behind me. As I walked away, I could feel G-Dragon smiling at me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAsGeTStcQHF
1000Please respect copyright.PENANANjNu7yvxVt
After we freshened up, we found G-Dragon waiting for us in one of the recording rooms while we waited for the other BIGBANG members to arrive.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAP8oiJcLQ8y
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAO3PxMe3hrb
Daesung arrived first, and after he greeted all of us, he asked, "Sam, have you seen the video that's trending on YouTube right now?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAURQwNN0hla
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcW1aBjb479
I stared at Daesung with my lips tightly sealed. I didn't have to ask what he was talking about. My eyes flew to Zoey, and she looked away without saying a word.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9Uchy6FeD
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmQNDm5KwVU
"I know what video you're talking about, Daesung," I said, trying to keep my cool.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFFDtzDhgeT
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjz7LcOgOrT
"Judging by the looks of things, Zoey must have done something, right?" Daesung asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVG4vVlxDVs
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZUD9h8FJYi
"She surely did," I replied as I continued to stare at her like a lion would at its prey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2rljtZGBzr
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAoLQYSvrUYy
"Can we please stop talking about that?" Zoey asked. "I already feel awful about all of this, and you're making it worse."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3N0OO5sC2q
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAweg5HFiYvM
The next thing we knew, Christine's phone beeped, then Mike's, Daniel's, Zoey's, and mine. We quickly took out our phones, almost simultaneously. I received a notification on YouTube about a trending video. It's the same video Zoey posted almost an hour ago, and it already has 2.1K views.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2PFDvSp8Fh
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxCisKnS51F
"It looks like people spend all their time on YouTube nowadays," I said. "How could this video get so many views in just an hour?1000Please respect copyright.PENANA58akODMLGB
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnZQsqxgbID
"Oh. It looks like we all received the same notification," said Daniel. "Classic!"1000Please respect copyright.PENANA55Y80F96j5
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUAMk5HoFnA
"If I were you, Sam, I wouldn't even read the comments," said Daesung, also checking his phone.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7b27G7JmUV
1000Please respect copyright.PENANArZzr49yljs
"What are they saying?" G-Dragon asked with a grin on his face as he went over to Daesung.1000Please respect copyright.PENANATMeRzCIWsf
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA42GRxzkHrE
"I don't want to hear it," I said as I leaned back on the chair and put my phone back in my pocket.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjLFkdrh6Bu
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAC5j1cnKOYl
"The most amazing couple ever," Christine read aloud in surprise.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAg7Mv4zqylh
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfvD7IUSWNb
"This isn't good," I said as I closed my eyes.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkQzP3Uw3GF
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzoOsz7Kcox
"Aww, so cute. These people just make the perfect couple. GD is so romantic," Mike also read out.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAo9zsblbUrL
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAyaRTHksCZj
"Please, stop reading the comments," I said, holding my head. I felt like it was about to explode.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqawpyC6ulQ
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAL2wXb0WwrD
"Sorry, we'll try to keep it down," said Mike as he smirked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAC2mqs8uW71
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMHrbGQhFC9
"Hey, guys, listen to this one," said G-Dragon. "I hate to admit this, but these two look so..."1000Please respect copyright.PENANACc5HdPMzFZ
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQf2REMQWgy
"Enough, please!" I exclaimed. "The last thing I need is someone reading a comment that says you and I should get married."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdWypzYUkFi
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjRSYtTuBNC
"You're really good at guessing, Sam," said Daesung, his eyes still on the phone. "This comment says exactly that."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXrlAlDongL
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYl4h4hAdJS
I rolled my eyes as everyone looked so preoccupied with their phones. Then, all of a sudden, Zoey squealed in delight, jumped from where she sat, and dashed towards me. For a moment, I got frightened. The last thing I want is to get pushed down by the person who just made a YouTube video of G-Dragon and I go viral. She approached me like a bulldozer.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAR2rFHNjl84
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0JJ96LK4ZL
"Hey, Sam, do you remember this picture from the first day we came to Korea?" Zoey asked as she flashed her phone before my eyes.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAj4kM9CO8d2
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtXFZRu65Cb
I looked at it, and there's a picture of G-Dragon and me holding hands. That's when we arrived at the hotel, and G-Dragon had helped me out of the car. We had been stuck holding hands almost the entire time.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4BCTTBNOVL
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zk9ixi7nG
Someone had posted the picture regarding the video on Facebook with a comment saying, "These two brilliant people make a great couple. Their holding hands on the first day they met is a sign that they are destined for each other. I can't wait for what's coming next. #weddingbells."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOvrEyfWsVa
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1McQcOgJZe
WEDDING BELLS! Has the whole world gone mad, or am I now on another planet? I stood up from my seat and started pacing back and forth. What's happening today? I just couldn't understand anything at all.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAy1UH3TkmDf
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUtqsMWhTdR
"If you're trying to think like Einstein and come up with a formula that might just get you out of this, it's not going to work," said Zoey as she stared at me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8eS94nTH0u
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGKHiuwsiVP
"Stop talking, Zoey. It's your fault I'm like this," I said. "You shouldn't have posted that video. Now everyone will think G-Dragon and I are dating."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqmnBZVsPK1
1000Please respect copyright.PENANABOyp11OwHR
"Isn't that a good thing?" G-Dragon asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAd8YiO59qiI
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOJsRHdrkvv
"No, no, Ji Yong, this is bad, real bad!" I said as I stared at him. "What will my parents think when they see this?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtJcGedm3Wz
1000Please respect copyright.PENANApfBEyDwKEW
"Mum will be furious that you didn't say anything about a boy," said Mike, with a wicked look on his face.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAn1svWZCaFt
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcYJFIIZqwT
"Yeah, that's my problem," I said to G-Dragon as I pointed my finger at Mike because of what he said. "My mother."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQONuVfMHxr
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAyCj8pkZ9J0
"She'll understand," said Daesung. "We're in a world of fame. Rumors are bound to fly around anyhow."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbwqUWTdgi5
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKPXDFQEF4l
"I hope so," I said. "She won't trust me anymore because I didn't tell her first that I had a guy in my life."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjwd9VNKbjX
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA80MkKdvU9S
"Mm, well, I'm lucky to be that special guy," said G-Dragon with that smile of his.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAelvYiREWki
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wewy7EqCW
"You're not helping, GD," I said as I shook my head.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEgZoQfDPy5
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA08AKmqKZHU
The door flew open, and Taeyang, T.O.P., and Seungri came in.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlSWAhHuSwM
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAn45X1cnZen
"So this is where you are," said Taeyang. "Has anyone seen what's going on?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAy6mNfyjwv0
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcLHttnzbJg
"If you're talking about Sam and G-Dragon's video going viral, we already know," said Christine.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAW1jIHDOmVt
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIw02gUikR4
"Who posted the video?" T.O.P asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmVPsQ6DDyM
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAN690nX5VUm
I turned to look at Zoey. The rest of The Toxins, G-Dragon, and Daesung also had their eyes on her. The room fell silent, and by the look on Zoey's face, she felt uncomfortable.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEGW548cftG
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAF8WEhizERk
"Eish, can you all stop looking at me like I'm a criminal? I did say I was sorry," said Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwX8Ivtv4TO
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwVKIPQtK8k
"I can't stay mad at you forever, Zoey, and you know it," I said with my arms folded. "But don't you ever do that again. Clear?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5EL5TmmPXV
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3ebhu3YuKL
"As clear as crystal," said Zoey, nodding her head like a little child.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASfVIBSoRu3
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaMmVqXZUwK
"Okay, now that we're all here," I said, addressing everyone, "let's put everything behind us so that we can focus on the song. What do you think?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAElRm0c5hnH
1000Please respect copyright.PENANACs2ShXvDYv
"I agree. Let's start," said Seungri as he took a seat and made himself comfortable.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAE1bERADWdS
1000Please respect copyright.PENANATLhXTUSxte
Everyone gathered in a circle, and for what seemed like minutes, we were just staring at each other in silence.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKDco6OVOCC
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5hcSCBS9ry
"Are we going to just stare at each other?" I asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAvm5vgm0XF5
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAo1iUVnvJgd
"I thought you were spearheading this," said Taeyang.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmcYGocVF6Y
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtoBj2y59qG
"I know I'm the leader of The Toxins, but I'm simply not the oldest in the room," I said. "Any of the BIGBANG members, especially G-Dragon, can take the floor."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOiirv5myBe
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA95uZf7b7rH
Zoey, sitting next to me, pulled me by the arm, drawing me closer to her so that she could whisper in my ear.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ns49qP7QE
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA370v0i5IKC
"What are you doing?" Zoey asked. "Don't tell me you're going to follow every rule in that pamphlet! Why not take the reins instead?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnoPvsZjwwK
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzviXru6mZX
"Wow, I never would've thought that you took the pamphlet and read it," I whispered back with a smile.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAunJxbnuZXa
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbRWHonGz5q
One of the rules stated that those who are older and more experienced take control of things. For the time being, we had to act like juniors and treat BIGBANG like our seniors. Besides, this is their home turf.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdlIE3xZCXL
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAyTUGCgTmzK
"This is not a game, Sam," Zoey whispered. "You simply aren't going to give away this opportunity to bring out your brilliant ideas, are you?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAExqdRhBS5q
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0zpatWfciD
"Do I have a choice?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAS6xxFFivcr
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAle2Vok3zRA
Zoey looked at me, and I could clearly see the answer on her face. I positioned myself upright on the chair and looked on at the others, brushing off the little conversation Zoey and I just had.1000Please respect copyright.PENANApR9pZC7IAA
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxldhpxsu7e
"Okay, so what do you think the song should be based on?" G-Dragon asked. "I would like everyone to bring out their opinions."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfvC56k2UGP
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAVcdRdIUsQ
"Let me start," said Zoey. "I think we should do a love song."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAb0BDwSzDue
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8OC6MZj2Fm
"A love song?" Daniel asked, looking surprised. "You've never suggested a love song before, Zoey. And you aren't always up for them either."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlfcgFLeOIG
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWGSzAFXldt
"I just had a change of heart."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAR6BlP9f4HX
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQtW7bvFGi6
"Well, that's a surprise."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAP7gvHiOMbc
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAW8VPb4nN3T
"Okay, well, I'll go with Zoey on this one," said Christine. "A love song will be perfect."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAc7DGhFwF7k
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAI1QgnZqWzk
"I think that's too cheesy," said Taeyang.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxKNbRIS1QB
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6pq226JzLa
"I also agree," I said. "We all sing pop, and the fans would expect that from us. And it has to be a smashing hit."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIHKFlX9Nc4
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKfCOwEXMXJ
"Now you're talking," said G-Dragon. "Okay, so who all agrees with Sam that it should be an all-pop song?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3GunnClsFV
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2WXFMCCJJt
Everyone except me raised his or her hand. I looked over at Zoey, and she gave me a wink.1000Please respect copyright.PENANATFCIL8DpBF
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6BN7ZXkdyl
"Fine, we've all agreed that it's going to be a pop song, so what is it going to be about?" T.O.P. asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzsFbsMq1oo
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZD2CEW06Cl
"Fun and games," Mike blurted out.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAW8r6s1c4Pj
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAj5OXiikPJm
"Boys, beach parties, and stuff," said Zoey. I hit my forehead with my hand when she said that.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAw6m5HLg4vw
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzjlaAXJNES
"Pandas," said Seungri.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6nRzEiQRL9
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1OnjVCx8db
Zoey and I burst out laughing, and we both said, "Good one, Seungri!"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfZrQu20DGM
1000Please respect copyright.PENANArZXZ5L6t6x
"If Zoey could suggest boys and stuff, then I would like girls," said T.O.P. with that awesome, sexy voice of his, "and stuff."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0igQn4jiIL
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAac1CVuWxY6
"How about just making it a little more like a love song but still having that pop beat in it?" Taeyang asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANApLjN9rs98T
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlvGrHMBRu2
"It ain't that bad, though," said Daesung. "But I think the song should be more about fun and something funky too."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVJYyB8QSJY
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUD0BDA7Dwr
"I like Daesung's idea," I said. "We need the song with a funky pop tune that would make anyone dance the first time they hear it."1000Please respect copyright.PENANABEhmYtidqe
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbfsfcXDFR2
"So, the song should be fun and have a catchy beat," said G-Dragon, considering everything.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFg2scFXGbg
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5K2dXjijgA
"Yeah, it should be a bit more like 'Fantastic Baby,'" said Daniel.1000Please respect copyright.PENANARKMLr5Xno5
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0sqp7NsTJr
"You, Daniel, just read my mind," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1bg3Iye9cz
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVlswZP8Iiz
"Okay, so we've got that figured out," said G-Dragon. "We'll have to start working on the lyrics and the beat."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqtRkZWOub6
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfiioLPdWZj
"Sam, you should write the lyrics," said Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwUXIEkegCZ
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHfPEeQNt4J
I looked at Zoey and gave her a look, telling her to shut up.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAj5KiTa3oDu
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUjWf8Ch1lm
"Yeah, I hear she's a very good songwriter," said Seungri.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiR8H6D9jKu
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAvz5Hhs4LDM
"Well, I never write alone," I said shyly. I feel a little uncomfortable when people praise me for my songwriting.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4M9VJdNzFL
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlC6EcWmNdQ
"I'll help you," said G-Dragon. "But everyone will have to too."1000Please respect copyright.PENANArMIJlisC2h
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbhregpARhL
"Then, after we come up with the song, I suggest that Taeyang and Mike come up with the dance moves," I said. "That's if it's okay with you, GD. Any choreographer can come in too."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA41G73DWMkB
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdoscwnVgxv
"It's okay," said G-Dragon. "The two are our best dancers, so they'll come up with moves and be our choreographers."1000Please respect copyright.PENANARnJ9fu8SIh
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaE0dswnfHU
"Sweet, so when do we start working on the song?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAo5egjxUye4
1000Please respect copyright.PENANASjoHSALesE
"We can start tomorrow," answered G-Dragon. "We can't just start writing right here and now."1000Please respect copyright.PENANASxijzjtKJe
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMXeWQdeGyS
"So what do you suggest we do for the time being?" Daniel asked. "It's not even noon, and we've nothing else to do."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAi2BEwg0GpP
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAS5FcDgZ11y
"We go have fun," answered G-Dragon as he stood up from his seat.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQIau1mvxbW
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAixXbitfv5F
"Yay!" Zoey and Christine squealed in delight like little kids.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlde4aCGd2j
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA99K8KZzAju
"Fun?" I asked, looking surprised. "And where do you think we should go and have fun?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2kBV8ZaFgc
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1K0Aep1iQR
"Follow me, and I'll show you my jagi." G-Dragon gave me a wink and started walking towards the door.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjU4KOU4EmQ
1000Please respect copyright.PENANADMLcLvbfPx
"Hold on a second," I said, with a bit of grit. G-Dragon reached the door and turned to face me. "I know what 'jagi' means, and just because people think we're dating doesn't mean you've got to think the same way."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWLtTxuPnI7
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZpLwTgIt85
"I know. I just wanted to call you that to see your reaction," said G-Dragon with a smile. "You look so cute when you're annoyed."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAobJk3mYZQN
1000Please respect copyright.PENANArgFzDEmwmF
I quickly looked away and didn't say a word. I always hate it when a person finds a way to shut me up. How I wish I could punch GD in the face. My knuckles were just itching to do so.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2BFlKtABWi
1000Please respect copyright.PENANACCfmIUhk13
"So, if anyone is coming with me, I'll be waiting outside in my car," said G-Dragon, and he left the room.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFWIKdHcWk0
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYMB6FOlSwd
"Well, I'm going," said Zoey as she stood up. "How about you, Sam?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAr18nry2f3F
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQsit7WI8PW
"No, count me out," I said. "I've had enough drama already."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKVKWIyfgMf
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7KTJBHrvmN
"Okay, but just know you're going to miss out on all the fun," said Zoey, and she quickly dashed out of the room.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXH8dBAGSTT
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIvrJd2uW4e
Christine, Mike, and Daniel soon followed. Taeyang, Seungri, and T.O.P. announced that they had their own plans and places to go, so they left, leaving me alone with Daesung.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAF2AYvaCxzY
1000Please respect copyright.PENANASmBUAC9EVw
"Aren't you going out yourself?" I asked him as I tapped my fingers on my knees.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHmye4yUWk0
1000Please respect copyright.PENANARSFoLdpG0X
"Nah, I don't have much to do today," said Daesung. "May I suggest that we go somewhere interesting?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYb4nC5tx4r
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxShiVYGh6H
"Yeah, sure. I need to get my mind off what's happened and come up with lyrics for the song."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7ubQJ5746y
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAq72kt7A9hM
"Okay, let's go," said Daesung.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwgmgVP6ynk
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA26UFotKaSs
We both stood up from our chairs and left the recording room.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5FTRwpg3c4
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7sUzEWxPXR
As Daesung and I walked out of the building, we saw G-Dragon's car leave through the gate. I continued to stare as it sped away. A feeling came that this day is far from over and something even worse than crazy is about to drop on us. However, I just couldn't figure out what it could be or how it was going to happen.
