"I feel like I'm back at school all over again," Zoey complained as she scratched her scalp, her hair already looking messy.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbh6Pr3tEeF
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9fofOqWmwo
"Tell me about it," I said as I leaned back further on the couch. "I don't think I can take this anymore."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEYiMLvZ6rZ
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4C8TidhX6j
"This is tiring!" said Daniel, who had his body and his face flat on the floor.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvksKADyll5
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtaAyhTWufz
"Do we really have to know all of this?" Mike asked lazily as he lay on one of the couches alone.1072Please respect copyright.PENANABMZFwzZTIa
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAk87u36pmMq
"Do we have any other choice?" I asked him.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJAm4vAMBK9
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfEGO1FDHtz
"Well, I've got one," said Christine, who sat beside me. "I can easily just pack up and fly back home."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwWNGrPE2W0
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhUAkMWp3S0
"You're bluffing, and you know it," said Daniel, still flat on the floor.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0xlOGn9hHn
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAT11cm5r1P6
"Can we order coffee?" Zoey asked. "I need a lot of caffeine. Urgently."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHMpourumZL
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFVn4S2aLbU
"You don't need coffee," said Mike. "A healthy breakfast filled with eggs, bacon, bread, and juice is all you need."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYJlmM436p8
1072Please respect copyright.PENANASEAtltgOdl
"Morning, Toxins," said Collins as he entered the lounge. "How's your reading going?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAklA6RH5IEw
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAG7b8BT40ZV
"Reading? It's more like studying until you're brain dead," said Zoey. "Why do we have to know all of these rules?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwAdW1gVMp9
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9hHKGlLL0B
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0gYifHXJRG
1072Please respect copyright.PENANASkumKPZ1WI
"And you think I would’ve done something about it?" Collins asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANADxhJ1nvf6N
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzF6M1r1sZp
"Yes!" the five of us replied simultaneously.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyoO2yAf4eK
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEUF493gzLr
"Things are a lot more complicated than you think. You can wrap up now. You need to go for practice."1072Please respect copyright.PENANALlmKd9rrQo
1072Please respect copyright.PENANApLQwcO1YXn
"Finally! I thought you would never say that," said Daniel, who quickly got up from the floor.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGqKPhX0Wwx
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbyZdmyQlVA
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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZXHRMWhhvI
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5z3k4bbNJV
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5h52WP3Ho
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOj2Z5Ykq82
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1E1yQfjJ3K
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnGCx1DxLdC
"Okay, so get changed and meet us downstairs in ten minutes," said Collins.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsyfwVb31Tu
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvXxNv098UQ
"Aye, aye, captain," said Zoey, giving Collins a mocking hand salute. Collins rolled his eyes at her and left for the elevator.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9YvgogB9Pm
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbA1tZO5ZUT
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAM7pQE96HG5
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7XtD71osUj
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5bCj7Ol1CW
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzw7uus8MOX
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPXt9Mp3U03
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8DzOPffv1S
"Check who is at the door," Zoey said to me quietly.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAA38OZbp60
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVGD4QbdgqL
"Why should I check?" I asked, also with my voice tuned down.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3466VKTJxz
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhfBqXVcJl6
"Daa, you're the leader."1072Please respect copyright.PENANApsHEUfnUip
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUDPsr88ja9
"And what if there's someone out there wanting to kill me?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhAmCLduNN9
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ3EGpfTA0
"You're one who isn't even afraid of watching horror movies. Just go check."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJwP6aJ7yMN
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAv9PQqPSeoi
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHdN4gixT2j
1072Please respect copyright.PENANASvqCJjlDCw
"What the.....!"1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1u8ULwsZcT
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAULeOe87DWm
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4YkAq3gKe2
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAF19Y2uSiaz
"Hey, BK," said G-Dragon with a dashing smile on his face. "Did you miss me?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJQepH67Eou
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1VFL6N9Cec
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmDti6OzG1A
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAA7rhsLva9V
"Hello? Sam, can you hear me?" he asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZANmneXQWy
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAL0SVFKyiZG
I shook my head, and I found myself furrowing my eyebrows at him.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfe74hwax8r
1072Please respect copyright.PENANABluUKD70kh
"You should really stop doing that!" I said. "You almost gave me a heart attack."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQv0bxRSq3Y
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8nx0UeFfWU
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQBYJ3oMLyg
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqd6qhcydki
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYOxl2f3xrs
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqTEd7PQkqx
"Aren't you going to say anything, my little kitty?" G-Dragon asked as he smirked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAj18wjsagp0
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVh0BmLCxTj
"I-uh-" I'm starting to lose my patience. "I hate you, Ji Yong."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxeONRdIRCN
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMuWo3S9AY3
"Says the girl who's still staring into my eyes and yearning to kiss me."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAB6QZkx69C4
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAL4b4bulAnQ
That's it! I've had enough.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA62760A6B43
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZUMfVrdavh
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAecpWT9wEhE
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsmXGMaTCdP
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8VnzItOY7z
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUsiZldbbyB
"I had some things to take care of," said G-Dragon. "Sorry, I couldn't come."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkQCpulo5FU
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6LojNNtHAN
"You better say sorry to Sam," said Christine. "It was her special day yesterday, and she was so upset that you didn't show."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcWpEKmmgCc
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAs2ylk9Wpnf
I quickly looked over at Christine, and I gave her the "I'm going to kill you" look.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAR1tW837YUg
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAP74IllD0qK
"You see, she's still mad now," said Christine, pointing at me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYj9GhbYXh7
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZHCvbyJelP
I rolled my eyes and placed my hand over my forehead. All this is giving me a headache.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8ARvAJtJsy
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuFMTzuFBtX
"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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0BJXutXXbq
1072Please respect copyright.PENANABWjU0c8JIH
"You better have come with something to make her forgive you, or else she will stay mad at you forever," said Mike.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeB1ZeS8UYU
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsLcZoFbvql
OMG! The last thing I need is for my brother to join in this charade.1072Please respect copyright.PENANArJyQ8OCsTA
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9B83hJI8RM
"Don't worry, I've got just the thing to cheer her up," said G-Dragon.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOoaTXlVuId
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAe16zXJ5ZVq
I rolled my eyes, as I still had my back facing the others. What could he possibly do to cheer me up?1072Please respect copyright.PENANALkrWLAsuoI
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKfOTKx41qh
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?1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIXBr0Lb2zt
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnubIXmK2XU
"How did you know I love roses?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAR6oSgomfqb
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5Db5xeH7Gi
"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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1FZQ3O4BrA
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqNI8WUy3qH
Oh, yeah. I forgot we had that.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9QcEIdNJiD
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAofbdK7v1NF
I took the roses and sniffed them. They smelled lovely. At that moment, I forgot that I was even mad.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASDLYLyLC9g
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQf7rOtUJ9u
"So, you're not mad at me anymore?" G-Dragon asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuAOVKwV0Ir
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAT4EHgnNktV
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?1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnXSivo4LAd
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGmTLEtYYKN
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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWTUPuUuFNw
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmzOAykJVzX
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?1072Please respect copyright.PENANAiEpG6AO31n
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWzww6DnHEw
"Wow, thanks, GD," I said. "To be honest, I'm not mad at you for not being around yesterday."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXKcGKs5XdV
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKf7b90f5aR
"I know. I just wanted to make up for it. And by the way, congratulations."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyBAwqLNyrk
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2gDKtMW0S
"Thanks." I couldn't stop blushing. In addition, it felt quite embarrassing.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6M1Clvi9rk
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAiYGAWwpaQw
"Aww, this video is going to go viral," said Zoey.1072Please respect copyright.PENANANCr7AsZhEv
1072Please respect copyright.PENANATl69lEFe1u
When I turned to face Zoey, I noticed that she had her phone camera pointed at us.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8ltFYl4Nx
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAG6QZhsKE8X
"Zoey, are you recording this?" I asked even when I already knew the answer.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAH5n68wUyzp
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAolYbDIH4hR
"Yeah, who wouldn't?" Zoey asked. "There's nothing you can do about it, though. I've already posted it online."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJI0A2WVsiD
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7uoEvaOFza
"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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANANQs6cFGxud
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA66PZo5bj0j
"Whoa!" Zoey backed away a little as I approached. "Sam, chill out. It's just a video, okay? It's nothing serious."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyq2krPqHo4
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHPSEjgocMu
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKAheIpEQcw
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdNgtEkvxQs
"Great, Zoey," said Daniel. "You just made Sam more upset."1072Please respect copyright.PENANABUt0oG187j
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPzYjZBeaMj
"Sam, relax, okay?" said Zoey. "Don't worry; I'll delete it before anyone sees it."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWZdiYIzAVh
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ki1Gdol8G
When Zoey checked her phone, the look on her face made me realize that she was a little too late.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAl0MgytxWi8
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZTD0RF4KYA
"Whoops," Zoey said, as she gave me an apologetic look.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6A3y6qy2nl
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtEFggX7I8d
"You just made things worse, didn't you?" Daniel asked as he shook his head.1072Please respect copyright.PENANABPUJ6vHiQx
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyeibTaaOrS
"I'm so dead," I said, also shaking my head.1072Please respect copyright.PENANApUNtCrRonC
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGXWtndT5xG
"I'm sorry, Sam," said Zoey. "It already has 15 views. It's probably on YouTube since I posted it on my fan page."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9nhEpWKPcK
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtEU9RsiIVG
"Sometimes I wonder why you're ever around me," I said through my teeth.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAU2Lt70K3ON
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAypcCO48eRS
"Chill, B.K." said G-Dragon as he came to stand beside me. "What's done is done. Don't worry about a thing."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQgsN7cporQ
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlnRGtfRHOg
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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPA9hLCLXoK
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUq74yg4Ci4
"It looks like we've got G-Dragon to thank," said Mike. "You really know how to mess things up, Zoey."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAh9NrKMZ2ZB
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAj38EPc0Lwt
"Thanks, Mike. You're making me feel ten times worse," said Zoey with a frown.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaCwc90LGDJ
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFyM4EVoQFL
"Can we please put this behind us and continue practicing?" Daniel asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEGmx9Ahoae
1072Please respect copyright.PENANArxeNjjCsBI
"To be honest, I don't feel like it anymore," I said. "Zoey just ruined my mood."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXTOjzykjl4
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyFp8yYoXAB
"Hey, I said I'm sorry," said Zoey.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbocuRCaSzH
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHTDYCj3npK
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnTRpL93Iy3
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVgyM3vjwPL
"Oh, I completely forgot about that," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAX0jJJCh3zR
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1ve7xjGLRP
"Let's go freshen up first," said Mike.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4EuAe3cr2w
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKMeFHXOhrh
"Let's do that," I said as I quickly took the box of chocolates away from G-Dragon. "And I'll be taking that."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMTY9yv0QxI
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFD5QudAiGd
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtTfjMhJsSz
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwT79LK3ftr
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAT7ZoQ9KGkC
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcNTrz4DotC
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?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5ty3cpQtSK
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9Geqtv41jr
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANACs1Bw21rSI
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlXowzn0WeL
"I know what video you're talking about, Daesung," I said, trying to keep my cool.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ0odAhqZ5
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAe5uak1XNcF
"Judging by the looks of things, Zoey must have done something, right?" Daesung asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWpZM2N4IND
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVmdTB5wFvi
"She surely did," I replied as I continued to stare at her like a lion would at its prey.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPw74o7xSnT
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaGUG5BcyUE
"Can we please stop talking about that?" Zoey asked. "I already feel awful about all of this, and you're making it worse."1072Please respect copyright.PENANATs9nD8AM3v
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAU7u5dlDHRm
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgR1Ja5TWoM
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzR3oZIhuHa
"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?1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxU3uIw3BPr
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkE9sktRmxE
"Oh. It looks like we all received the same notification," said Daniel. "Classic!"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsFkuuyHfHm
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAl3hVxjE8wu
"If I were you, Sam, I wouldn't even read the comments," said Daesung, also checking his phone.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZQsJpRxfqK
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEAiGhoUXmZ
"What are they saying?" G-Dragon asked with a grin on his face as he went over to Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGWAUyhPk5l
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ca0ajq5qy
"I don't want to hear it," I said as I leaned back on the chair and put my phone back in my pocket.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPBbLcvA3lA
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPheypeBRmx
"The most amazing couple ever," Christine read aloud in surprise.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5LXYAEm6vB
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmA5QghXMuN
"This isn't good," I said as I closed my eyes.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPhhDdWPkQx
1072Please respect copyright.PENANArRvkNcV74i
"Aww, so cute. These people just make the perfect couple. GD is so romantic," Mike also read out.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA93NDJBRp4D
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXB7NvURUIV
"Please, stop reading the comments," I said, holding my head. I felt like it was about to explode.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAW5RzbKnylJ
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3wp3YvXitp
"Sorry, we'll try to keep it down," said Mike as he smirked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZLVZMaF6uh
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqbcJi1bNvM
"Hey, guys, listen to this one," said G-Dragon. "I hate to admit this, but these two look so..."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAI1dBVFyCIR
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEsXi3liKZR
"Enough, please!" I exclaimed. "The last thing I need is someone reading a comment that says you and I should get married."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5HcxYQS1Gz
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAO3bbm72nrg
"You're really good at guessing, Sam," said Daesung, his eyes still on the phone. "This comment says exactly that."1072Please respect copyright.PENANADcLH9a5tu5
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvGLkDR5PsM
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEyzzAMK0mU
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0xQKYdVWaD
"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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzp7gPKDNAn
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAenEbxMx4wc
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0JCIEVnj5
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAM9eOidUon8
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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANASrQ8rLUalL

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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANATXrugPEM1r
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAh3EYFxZ1im
"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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaKLtSFMMHM
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvh63WROXdu
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA35h2lGnhri
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGF5hvTUAGv
"Isn't that a good thing?" G-Dragon asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAe8tYT35KUm
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAunLqn9FKjy
"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?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAoee6PPcamw
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbeGymwsqz0
"Mum will be furious that you didn't say anything about a boy," said Mike, with a wicked look on his face.1072Please respect copyright.PENANACirtczmdbq
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJS2UItt3Q8
"Yeah, that's my problem," I said to G-Dragon as I pointed my finger at Mike because of what he said. "My mother."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqVF1l8w1pP
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q0eUDZah5
"She'll understand," said Daesung. "We're in a world of fame. Rumors are bound to fly around anyhow."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqboY3Uniei
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIObUOqhdio
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsJNKHzh4fm
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFWvxyCOqtI
"Mm, well, I'm lucky to be that special guy," said G-Dragon with that smile of his.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdvUNv3CRQb
1072Please respect copyright.PENANADariBsdqhd
"You're not helping, GD," I said as I shook my head.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZPle4fazp
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAw3H4fjiPrb
The door flew open, and Taeyang, T.O.P., and Seungri came in.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmvhYPZidxZ
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAisHdcMDA0Y
"So this is where you are," said Taeyang. "Has anyone seen what's going on?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAP56lz7oKSk
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVHHUE7ip7G
"If you're talking about Sam and G-Dragon's video going viral, we already know," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeWIINSlIDh
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9dJOXDW22t
"Who posted the video?" T.O.P asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA91z3OE7VaD
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEfXpeSsl6J
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANARcPnGFVizL
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0fJQvke7lo
"Eish, can you all stop looking at me like I'm a criminal? I did say I was sorry," said Zoey.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgyYIyYJYy7
1072Please respect copyright.PENANArG9s9BmLTP
"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?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANA35RTdrDmYi
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8jy0UzyO50
"As clear as crystal," said Zoey, nodding her head like a little child.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAF6lbK1X4gb
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvTyctUejIv
"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?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANA50hcdv8TH4
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3qZtNx254N
"I agree. Let's start," said Seungri as he took a seat and made himself comfortable.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOwkgLGNTtl
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7aXdaOcjmv
Everyone gathered in a circle, and for what seemed like minutes, we were just staring at each other in silence.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPX9nIfAb48
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyYLrhQNcSb
"Are we going to just stare at each other?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHbW2zfYmIL
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAahknJf6jDM
"I thought you were spearheading this," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFmbLX3F8Us
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3qDC4HC5d5
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjiFEAZ3QTV
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaO77smMA8H
Zoey, sitting next to me, pulled me by the arm, drawing me closer to her so that she could whisper in my ear.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvRnXhJqIUR
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5wLqEHJDDh
"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?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANARXL1MiG7lL
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjuyf8V7013
"Wow, I never would've thought that you took the pamphlet and read it," I whispered back with a smile.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVUTMcT23Xx
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOBrtnEkQwj
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANACP31dCjKpu
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAM2GmCI10bp
"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?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9cciYQJpgN
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEXsOiBF4PD
"Do I have a choice?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANApKUXNeX335
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIcu8XuNED8
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtHzMUR4XZR
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxxXyOFRuFf
"Okay, so what do you think the song should be based on?" G-Dragon asked. "I would like everyone to bring out their opinions."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvZtHqPc2vA
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyCgjdMV1iF
"Let me start," said Zoey. "I think we should do a love song."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdM5s5fsi45
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAO9v97jCzDe
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9VqHm0GgSE
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0GBlhikV6a
"I just had a change of heart."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAy0TBdwMMe8
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAE1t40mI0jH
"Well, that's a surprise."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAiTzRvjF9IO
1072Please respect copyright.PENANARAzwTrtCej
"Okay, well, I'll go with Zoey on this one," said Christine. "A love song will be perfect."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVDcsabSdaR
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAT9UJzGKw8I
"I think that's too cheesy," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6saYQ3w0ea
1072Please respect copyright.PENANACPWBmqDdcc
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANANVoHtClNCL
1072Please respect copyright.PENANANOz2N7FhpA
"Now you're talking," said G-Dragon. "Okay, so who all agrees with Sam that it should be an all-pop song?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAY6ll6io4PZ
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAV6UF98OX8s
Everyone except me raised his or her hand. I looked over at Zoey, and she gave me a wink.1072Please respect copyright.PENANADFR7yEs3t9
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfzYtbruEFG
"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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6CNgYtPzu7
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIVThtUWnlI
"Fun and games," Mike blurted out.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAt3R0XHStcP
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5BqazKbOhZ
"Boys, beach parties, and stuff," said Zoey. I hit my forehead with my hand when she said that.1072Please respect copyright.PENANABhYZM0jmBV
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfYom7LUyGR
"Pandas," said Seungri.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnOVtZEOlHV
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUYCWf8spZo
Zoey and I burst out laughing, and we both said, "Good one, Seungri!"1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6GS5DopxMl
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5fwpH1YAHd
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANARUrCijL1hm
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVYYYlDjPpf
"How about just making it a little more like a love song but still having that pop beat in it?" Taeyang asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtdSQOmsoBI
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA78ZqIOwqWC
"It ain't that bad, though," said Daesung. "But I think the song should be more about fun and something funky too."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgEVh5hnDK8
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAX0b4AP4784
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAacHLnSnO22
1072Please respect copyright.PENANADGFL0ooIel
"So, the song should be fun and have a catchy beat," said G-Dragon, considering everything.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4gdU6GSIFB
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyUIcUDU99J
"Yeah, it should be a bit more like 'Fantastic Baby,'" said Daniel.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEFNSaofdHh
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyERzXxyMT0
"You, Daniel, just read my mind," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOVJc2JON4k
1072Please respect copyright.PENANABVABB18vcB
"Okay, so we've got that figured out," said G-Dragon. "We'll have to start working on the lyrics and the beat."1072Please respect copyright.PENANASJIJkrtwWs
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGCy0iwtxvZ
"Sam, you should write the lyrics," said Zoey.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHTRRYH1oju
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9XBm3YZcaG
I looked at Zoey and gave her a look, telling her to shut up.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbv3sDFpOaR
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAho5OLzC5l8
"Yeah, I hear she's a very good songwriter," said Seungri.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5hshB0eJwc
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAN9F7HYON7x
"Well, I never write alone," I said shyly. I feel a little uncomfortable when people praise me for my songwriting.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsv2ba7OG3K
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6odSVnIBgl
"I'll help you," said G-Dragon. "But everyone will have to too."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgI1ukRSguL
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFV3uGq1Dqi
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ck3FewVRm
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAb3ykyusL4C
"It's okay," said G-Dragon. "The two are our best dancers, so they'll come up with moves and be our choreographers."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAijFvYPDBj6
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgZwy3FRQ7m
"Sweet, so when do we start working on the song?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAd7J940W5LY
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFhEuKaVzU2
"We can start tomorrow," answered G-Dragon. "We can't just start writing right here and now."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGJf2bNDpWL
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgpQn0c6pWk
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIVZe5p7QjR
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4uFabximmx
"We go have fun," answered G-Dragon as he stood up from his seat.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWLvYVHNtG4
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGh1mgAH9ip
"Yay!" Zoey and Christine squealed in delight like little kids.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAD7PVugpSeo
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQbSrX8KVl0
"Fun?" I asked, looking surprised. "And where do you think we should go and have fun?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ5ZPRvjFf
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMz4cYQTcFq
"Follow me, and I'll show you my jagi." G-Dragon gave me a wink and started walking towards the door.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFbCuMeORvf
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaGrfvkBH50
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA96bCqLsuWT
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAiEoDo9tMOg
"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."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWJyFA9yIQ4
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAz5JEWfgBvx
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4kIHIR6v41
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAisZgr6zJVn
"So, if anyone is coming with me, I'll be waiting outside in my car," said G-Dragon, and he left the room.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfNrLuSjL79
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAAkSr9YN61
"Well, I'm going," said Zoey as she stood up. "How about you, Sam?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfwdypmowPw
1072Please respect copyright.PENANABRBOIzP9yh
"No, count me out," I said. "I've had enough drama already."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtX2MsYz226
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAL7YMV8vZWw
"Okay, but just know you're going to miss out on all the fun," said Zoey, and she quickly dashed out of the room.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWMyWsvrDMe
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUjBwNq8iEB
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.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAByPMEoVEi
1072Please respect copyright.PENANABq8AYWzRqU
"Aren't you going out yourself?" I asked him as I tapped my fingers on my knees.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0AXZhBZwYn
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAClk5ulObq
"Nah, I don't have much to do today," said Daesung. "May I suggest that we go somewhere interesting?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8EVUklcdJI
1072Please respect copyright.PENANA29aGqkK49L
"Yeah, sure. I need to get my mind off what's happened and come up with lyrics for the song."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvZyp23dVlL
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaEjOeSrEle
"Okay, let's go," said Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhFcfU7ojd3
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWlfXW303sD
We both stood up from our chairs and left the recording room.1072Please respect copyright.PENANADZnxZTHrpd
1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnD669evblk
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.
