"I feel like I'm back at school all over again," Zoey complained as she scratched her scalp, her hair already looking messy.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA7mtQg2HkNm

"Tell me about it," I said as I leaned back further on the couch. "I don't think I can take this anymore."1088Please respect copyright.PENANALuuKwwkU79
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAFktTgAFA1X
"This is tiring!" said Daniel, who had his body and his face flat on the floor.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAcT5JIwJNnY
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8DMYMLeGL
"Do we really have to know all of this?" Mike asked lazily as he lay on one of the couches alone.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAsD4VWfknqH
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAeKJdlHLQkR
"Do we have any other choice?" I asked him.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAnHtoIgABKb
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAL3lrLHPVby
"Well, I've got one," said Christine, who sat beside me. "I can easily just pack up and fly back home."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAb3YuYVP6AB
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAtI8W3CiD0v
"You're bluffing, and you know it," said Daniel, still flat on the floor.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAQ78SmXTNhU
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAwkqga09rR4
"Can we order coffee?" Zoey asked. "I need a lot of caffeine. Urgently."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAeOItxcEOMf
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA4dc36PST0F
"You don't need coffee," said Mike. "A healthy breakfast filled with eggs, bacon, bread, and juice is all you need."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAbGOTUZjQsk
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA7f2vaGaTRR
"Morning, Toxins," said Collins as he entered the lounge. "How's your reading going?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAy2QlC5MC4j
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAHHRFNUSVWh
"Reading? It's more like studying until you're brain dead," said Zoey. "Why do we have to know all of these rules?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAFdwAEisuGw
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAIVQ75tWJNM
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAVfYD9kLecw
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAkg5QBZPWLf
"And you think I would’ve done something about it?" Collins asked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAR7cwM0rymm
1088Please respect copyright.PENANADokqSD7VOS
"Yes!" the five of us replied simultaneously.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA0i66olJun5
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAyoEBydUoTW
"Things are a lot more complicated than you think. You can wrap up now. You need to go for practice."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAuSZqC2aADc
1088Please respect copyright.PENANABffmHgmb47
"Finally! I thought you would never say that," said Daniel, who quickly got up from the floor.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAcjLqeI13O6
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAgwkbGb8nip
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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA7RjDOQY6gh
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA1BanGp6Bws
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAdZtQJtW7sr
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAJf3v8wdt6l
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA9rw1QTWUMK
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAJc9Ouh2wJA
"Okay, so get changed and meet us downstairs in ten minutes," said Collins.1088Please respect copyright.PENANARdA2KPdB2M
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAWX9JpPg4G7
"Aye, aye, captain," said Zoey, giving Collins a mocking hand salute. Collins rolled his eyes at her and left for the elevator.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAijvHfaw1gP
1088Please respect copyright.PENANARqD7tBfYfR
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANArvWydJ6VAf
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAwXGykQjqLR
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA81NLoCxFJZ
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAcuhNSYefEV
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAqGAUepugLf
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAQes101K3EC
"Check who is at the door," Zoey said to me quietly.1088Please respect copyright.PENANALiZcuDYs7C
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAVDlbTLLEL1
"Why should I check?" I asked, also with my voice tuned down.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA5g57fd7s9D
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAnCulvypCEE
"Daa, you're the leader."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA5FItmKL7Ck
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAAJQCLBUQh2
"And what if there's someone out there wanting to kill me?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANA6bXrW9SeLk
1088Please respect copyright.PENANArZbTcPHJM5
"You're one who isn't even afraid of watching horror movies. Just go check."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAskqwEBTqb4
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAqAjfZiCsRP
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA7aklsgMVmP
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAVCFBmb6b7i
"What the.....!"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAxTJpT7rpq7
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAUFXLBIk9fQ
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAftICTHjdr3
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA6ftmWqzfxU
"Hey, BK," said G-Dragon with a dashing smile on his face. "Did you miss me?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAP0NxYVzzGJ
1088Please respect copyright.PENANADL7Uk56XoE
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA78gWwQPXHb
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAzdnTzuRFoQ
"Hello? Sam, can you hear me?" he asked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAOnyPCqTPz2
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA1hUOMaRMse
I shook my head, and I found myself furrowing my eyebrows at him.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAyQC0z0sNNb
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAMBd57833vT
"You should really stop doing that!" I said. "You almost gave me a heart attack."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA255JYgLwF4
1088Please respect copyright.PENANANjBQoK5RRn
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAcqj5GF9L4j
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA4JpQNBB8M4
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA2GdLrxsP02
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAISen1QSQdl
"Aren't you going to say anything, my little kitty?" G-Dragon asked as he smirked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANACJ9quP5nMu
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAtwuIu5CeS0
"I-uh-" I'm starting to lose my patience. "I hate you, Ji Yong."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA57UJCTL1iW
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAuge6BMBcYG
"Says the girl who's still staring into my eyes and yearning to kiss me."1088Please respect copyright.PENANALJUGtezwIq
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAZWKzlPH0EO
That's it! I've had enough.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAiudHT6S5Wq
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAcHW0PkwMmU
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANATzpl65oetr
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA1qdVemhZxO
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAkkmq5XmVd6
1088Please respect copyright.PENANARx5QAdm28k
"I had some things to take care of," said G-Dragon. "Sorry, I couldn't come."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAXphSjO3aoZ
1088Please respect copyright.PENANANTe7vqWXfL
"You better say sorry to Sam," said Christine. "It was her special day yesterday, and she was so upset that you didn't show."1088Please respect copyright.PENANALFyaomzmdM
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAAThLdeLvKj
I quickly looked over at Christine, and I gave her the "I'm going to kill you" look.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAC1YUPP8Urk
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA69YoXRGv7C
"You see, she's still mad now," said Christine, pointing at me.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAK5HEpZHG1c
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAcL3fIoirpz
I rolled my eyes and placed my hand over my forehead. All this is giving me a headache.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAnBzUSybl72
1088Please respect copyright.PENANATOeRJZ8Tu2
"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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAYC6eQsEg7n
1088Please respect copyright.PENANALgVeYpJkPM
"You better have come with something to make her forgive you, or else she will stay mad at you forever," said Mike.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAHDvF5S4Hya
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA38TFBuVsvX
OMG! The last thing I need is for my brother to join in this charade.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAuzH5umpclg
1088Please respect copyright.PENANABp6FePIxaT
"Don't worry, I've got just the thing to cheer her up," said G-Dragon.1088Please respect copyright.PENANABdttAovZFr
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAhDk0ZwDghj
I rolled my eyes, as I still had my back facing the others. What could he possibly do to cheer me up?1088Please respect copyright.PENANAzN9w3Ct6QW
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAdljCmTqu9Z
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?1088Please respect copyright.PENANAMqeppX4FMk
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAGZxSl0V9fg
"How did you know I love roses?" I asked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANApZcCecyvol
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAe0m2jdIlXP
"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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pma7yl8N7
1088Please respect copyright.PENANABP9eQ62kEf
Oh, yeah. I forgot we had that.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAyRTQ93Mwf0
1088Please respect copyright.PENANARjwhrW9PEy
I took the roses and sniffed them. They smelled lovely. At that moment, I forgot that I was even mad.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAGWldeZY4Zn
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAiLR8aMq2aS
"So, you're not mad at me anymore?" G-Dragon asked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAM14Fpf778d
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAOB4b1BWbhl
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?1088Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3AaAUNiun
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAh9Y9WDcrmC
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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANATNilaoqm6V
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAdVQuccN1QV
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?1088Please respect copyright.PENANAs5wTsOYGyx
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA5eBVGSsnQH
"Wow, thanks, GD," I said. "To be honest, I'm not mad at you for not being around yesterday."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAY6lnerMSr0
1088Please respect copyright.PENANALKgiin3LuR
"I know. I just wanted to make up for it. And by the way, congratulations."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAbacGqKoVgs
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAAVzD91fqdZ
"Thanks." I couldn't stop blushing. In addition, it felt quite embarrassing.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAYVdfVf4odL
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAr60Jol1u9X
"Aww, this video is going to go viral," said Zoey.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAF5aobjIOo6
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAqQov2J2BdI
When I turned to face Zoey, I noticed that she had her phone camera pointed at us.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAVhbdhQs0lk
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAI8xQk6IGd2
"Zoey, are you recording this?" I asked even when I already knew the answer.1088Please respect copyright.PENANArIwUGUGx0v
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA8DAwSGiZU8
"Yeah, who wouldn't?" Zoey asked. "There's nothing you can do about it, though. I've already posted it online."1088Please respect copyright.PENANACsuK2fqsNV
1088Please respect copyright.PENANABW5qw52nqE
"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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA3X5yyVNo8G
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAUgp5xziCV4
"Whoa!" Zoey backed away a little as I approached. "Sam, chill out. It's just a video, okay? It's nothing serious."1088Please respect copyright.PENANALAo0j4v0G2
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAMRNSI1HAlw
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAxEBeVcRFYs
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAUSuYyk5XMv
"Great, Zoey," said Daniel. "You just made Sam more upset."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA29m6bqZWxw
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3Vf85mCZn
"Sam, relax, okay?" said Zoey. "Don't worry; I'll delete it before anyone sees it."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAYRNsWGDyCD
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAJHTyWICtVI
When Zoey checked her phone, the look on her face made me realize that she was a little too late.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAMjB2P1C0zb
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAxNTHx63gen
"Whoops," Zoey said, as she gave me an apologetic look.1088Please respect copyright.PENANASdsUUBe14M
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAnpW1m6ZVGG
"You just made things worse, didn't you?" Daniel asked as he shook his head.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAn3G8tLuAHd
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAGbfO43K9kR
"I'm so dead," I said, also shaking my head.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAZYTzUdMmCM
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAn7aSdnMPiY
"I'm sorry, Sam," said Zoey. "It already has 15 views. It's probably on YouTube since I posted it on my fan page."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAaxJ2TGUn0P
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA9CTR2KnurC
"Sometimes I wonder why you're ever around me," I said through my teeth.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAq2ua6zu1FV
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAqBxnaVPvuD
"Chill, B.K." said G-Dragon as he came to stand beside me. "What's done is done. Don't worry about a thing."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA0K43kY7BvR
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAkkgSoujycT
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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANApRXdEwsEwL
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAtg4KRJld0i
"It looks like we've got G-Dragon to thank," said Mike. "You really know how to mess things up, Zoey."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAsMljR98MvY
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAfLfGcRb7M7
"Thanks, Mike. You're making me feel ten times worse," said Zoey with a frown.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAWtXbbxNYPZ
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAwQMz9vTQKl
"Can we please put this behind us and continue practicing?" Daniel asked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAajXDyhPDOa
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAIXAyaU7mCC
"To be honest, I don't feel like it anymore," I said. "Zoey just ruined my mood."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAFlwxkeWmVc
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAmgUArN8mHN
"Hey, I said I'm sorry," said Zoey.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAFLmlpcEyBo
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAwe5qMhNPmK
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAN7LKgYVSkn
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAersdWUhTub
"Oh, I completely forgot about that," said Christine.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAS9Id5QQ6wY
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAuW6Lgf3BTL
"Let's go freshen up first," said Mike.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAlOlNjp4DlG
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAupYJ9xybuP
"Let's do that," I said as I quickly took the box of chocolates away from G-Dragon. "And I'll be taking that."1088Please respect copyright.PENANABcBmPCkOKG
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA7qwgtY3Urv
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAYHHgYopnP8
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAhXI5AQnZ2k
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANASXseIVKzkC
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAVuO3CNnqYJ
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?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAU41nYK0M4N
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAtchPyPTkAt
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANASkK4hm8u4o
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAYt9j68MsPu
"I know what video you're talking about, Daesung," I said, trying to keep my cool.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAkzQ5IkFti1
1088Please respect copyright.PENANACjPskUSKVq
"Judging by the looks of things, Zoey must have done something, right?" Daesung asked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAMjU9UJrUSU
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAxGGiXN666a
"She surely did," I replied as I continued to stare at her like a lion would at its prey.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAQntOIEiyWv
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAMpyCBiSJgu
"Can we please stop talking about that?" Zoey asked. "I already feel awful about all of this, and you're making it worse."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAX3rtJBaWla
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAdmW38z4edC
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAbqfBsR0ouL
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAOg6NGTDGGT
"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?1088Please respect copyright.PENANAos8G7Z3HE8
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAH5rc7gJYEB
"Oh. It looks like we all received the same notification," said Daniel. "Classic!"1088Please respect copyright.PENANA8josxMQfoz
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAotmbkQxYYI
"If I were you, Sam, I wouldn't even read the comments," said Daesung, also checking his phone.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA7gBG7niOyZ
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAirZk5mlCBR
"What are they saying?" G-Dragon asked with a grin on his face as he went over to Daesung.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAFHklFrAuUl
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAwCzvFmrm7T
"I don't want to hear it," I said as I leaned back on the chair and put my phone back in my pocket.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAvtUEifYCjX
1088Please respect copyright.PENANANkjmHsk5js
"The most amazing couple ever," Christine read aloud in surprise.1088Please respect copyright.PENANACnXKq6K1j8
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAY10b4m16Ft
"This isn't good," I said as I closed my eyes.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAwwvCaXhkz6
1088Please respect copyright.PENANACCkhZluYF6
"Aww, so cute. These people just make the perfect couple. GD is so romantic," Mike also read out.1088Please respect copyright.PENANASRlFcsEjXJ
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA68KFuQm4ml
"Please, stop reading the comments," I said, holding my head. I felt like it was about to explode.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAOp6uNhzK9p
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAIwIXt15GsW
"Sorry, we'll try to keep it down," said Mike as he smirked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAbrcRkMySvA
1088Please respect copyright.PENANASzInsD4xII
"Hey, guys, listen to this one," said G-Dragon. "I hate to admit this, but these two look so..."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAUArvmZSHFT
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAiNUuRPqZSR
"Enough, please!" I exclaimed. "The last thing I need is someone reading a comment that says you and I should get married."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA5me19erdse
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAcTJ6RKRvUc
"You're really good at guessing, Sam," said Daesung, his eyes still on the phone. "This comment says exactly that."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAZsQXNLrAjQ
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA2vYyeo5M2W
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAsMxmnwvwSc
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAwprGm369IR
"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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAaqNiHUOqPw
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAtKZNuIjltv
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAK3ffxZJEAM
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAcfAMsmjutT
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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAHngM3mWX17

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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAZSYPld8Sfm
1088Please respect copyright.PENANATwUgICR6Q5
"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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAQhIYKDU490
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA1qz003moMq
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANArmA7ip3ePq
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAU5hugCN97B
"Isn't that a good thing?" G-Dragon asked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAyfOPnpobL0
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA8FKTUvhYn8
"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?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANA0nS1Otf3dj
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAkFCP9AkVfA
"Mum will be furious that you didn't say anything about a boy," said Mike, with a wicked look on his face.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA3y1g7lb17b
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAIa5u3S9jGC
"Yeah, that's my problem," I said to G-Dragon as I pointed my finger at Mike because of what he said. "My mother."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAiAi5ZC7I5Q
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAXYsakduiaS
"She'll understand," said Daesung. "We're in a world of fame. Rumors are bound to fly around anyhow."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAglWW6d7wb8
1088Please respect copyright.PENANARs6FVZfmfT
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAQRAVnnoAgw
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAc1WYMq8AVL
"Mm, well, I'm lucky to be that special guy," said G-Dragon with that smile of his.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAfBbErERS0U
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAWMgS4q9oFh
"You're not helping, GD," I said as I shook my head.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA2FMzfL3Jqp
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAzj5YdOBp7n
The door flew open, and Taeyang, T.O.P., and Seungri came in.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAJgEDqTk4Xg
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAfWhMbQUOp2
"So this is where you are," said Taeyang. "Has anyone seen what's going on?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ0nS5Uijg
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAauU8i6rugM
"If you're talking about Sam and G-Dragon's video going viral, we already know," said Christine.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAJd0l1qQvdk
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA03naD90ZY5
"Who posted the video?" T.O.P asked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAnwkbchfO4E
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAfudOtrCXao
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAEpkF9D9aT1
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAQAvcCj42ru
"Eish, can you all stop looking at me like I'm a criminal? I did say I was sorry," said Zoey.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAzwPZJ5gnon
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA6SN5IbhSCU
"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?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAUDFR5hJjBl
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAEd7aWG20fa
"As clear as crystal," said Zoey, nodding her head like a little child.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAuwRJA2WHxV
1088Please respect copyright.PENANApcU6yXcbxQ
"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?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAou0ZMixY02
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAwE0PGlwc49
"I agree. Let's start," said Seungri as he took a seat and made himself comfortable.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA9dSMqNbMVC
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAxSVhyb7JhX
Everyone gathered in a circle, and for what seemed like minutes, we were just staring at each other in silence.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAfH6xTXnYPh
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAKHJUmFEvm0
"Are we going to just stare at each other?" I asked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANApdAvZQ64NS
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAHtRK7TisDa
"I thought you were spearheading this," said Taeyang.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAz1Ki14z1kF
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAjjgzkpK96K
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAfwwF5DwgfB
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA2UUu40LqYM
Zoey, sitting next to me, pulled me by the arm, drawing me closer to her so that she could whisper in my ear.1088Please respect copyright.PENANATFxRwnVDqG
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAEX0GhljBfO
"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?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAYdRk4PApSL
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAFeL5y8QS4t
"Wow, I never would've thought that you took the pamphlet and read it," I whispered back with a smile.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAJTgeTuV5Og
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAMTjjYncw4H
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANApXTqtyRgQu
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAPeP6gNTq4q
"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?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAjrbCN4mm78
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA0HegKJRcWD
"Do I have a choice?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAiKXe5Cwbnu
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAI4gIvoddst
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAjXHc8L2vvb
1088Please respect copyright.PENANADW8vaGqfnp
"Okay, so what do you think the song should be based on?" G-Dragon asked. "I would like everyone to bring out their opinions."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAg1zW5yDNXD
1088Please respect copyright.PENANACkxJfxdOYp
"Let me start," said Zoey. "I think we should do a love song."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA8C5FFxZksh
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAYeVQ7MXVfX
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAXktyBe1O1Z
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAFgdw6VdfCD
"I just had a change of heart."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA8yeiYiv76c
1088Please respect copyright.PENANATdJaWQ552z
"Well, that's a surprise."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAfHtF4fdK28
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAGVjDm2neJS
"Okay, well, I'll go with Zoey on this one," said Christine. "A love song will be perfect."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6byOQ6z7B
1088Please respect copyright.PENANApCmO0Oo55s
"I think that's too cheesy," said Taeyang.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA0zBwhUdL1d
1088Please respect copyright.PENANADUz4KMRGJy
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAkgezqhsrSO
1088Please respect copyright.PENANASPbrrxqcjv
"Now you're talking," said G-Dragon. "Okay, so who all agrees with Sam that it should be an all-pop song?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANARkxu8USduG
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAS5DP7PLIMV
Everyone except me raised his or her hand. I looked over at Zoey, and she gave me a wink.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3U1ZJvZMz
1088Please respect copyright.PENANASwOxgoRpWI
"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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA9GKH47FLAc
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAW1ia40Hzt7
"Fun and games," Mike blurted out.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAc3SyYWv6Ei
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAn1GJTwu16S
"Boys, beach parties, and stuff," said Zoey. I hit my forehead with my hand when she said that.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAjVFlsmVdzy
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAVbJeti3Zxc
"Pandas," said Seungri.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAV7xq5iXyjK
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA8DiCzOGhXn
Zoey and I burst out laughing, and we both said, "Good one, Seungri!"1088Please respect copyright.PENANA7ecu743iGH
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAqFY1F3YZmH
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAEViy9kRz7y
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAtRJvOxV5oK
"How about just making it a little more like a love song but still having that pop beat in it?" Taeyang asked.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAIpZEzrezPp
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAgkz2eUmiPU
"It ain't that bad, though," said Daesung. "But I think the song should be more about fun and something funky too."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA2kHYgiRL98
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAelUTt9frLa
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAitL7zfeGH6
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAWbBJchFlGw
"So, the song should be fun and have a catchy beat," said G-Dragon, considering everything.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAREeDGBHMdr
1088Please respect copyright.PENANATf11KIrPzZ
"Yeah, it should be a bit more like 'Fantastic Baby,'" said Daniel.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAweIPbHfJkq
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA5x8Zm1ycXv
"You, Daniel, just read my mind," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA3dignp7oCW
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA2wKSOg3GgL
"Okay, so we've got that figured out," said G-Dragon. "We'll have to start working on the lyrics and the beat."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAW4KpKFxWAk
1088Please respect copyright.PENANArq42sgt67M
"Sam, you should write the lyrics," said Zoey.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAX9voERiRrF
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAFOvZKyOJ0j
I looked at Zoey and gave her a look, telling her to shut up.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAiN7qb89tCo
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAixo1RuF4GM
"Yeah, I hear she's a very good songwriter," said Seungri.1088Please respect copyright.PENANATGqXaIdy02
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAuVNZcKmZn2
"Well, I never write alone," I said shyly. I feel a little uncomfortable when people praise me for my songwriting.1088Please respect copyright.PENANA2OeMUwjiws
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAZmANJVA0ZF
"I'll help you," said G-Dragon. "But everyone will have to too."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAYGUwXkTE0X
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAfLzuFVYOX9
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAbxQ2eRybYZ
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAxqf3RlTcFf
"It's okay," said G-Dragon. "The two are our best dancers, so they'll come up with moves and be our choreographers."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAClhrM5HYgm
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA5vTeDuFJyh
"Sweet, so when do we start working on the song?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANATYpyAcxUeq
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAzh1mfHiXFd
"We can start tomorrow," answered G-Dragon. "We can't just start writing right here and now."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAG8bHOUhenj
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAkPO2C6AWLw
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAq3PowNEFG5
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA83N6fsm6W1
"We go have fun," answered G-Dragon as he stood up from his seat.1088Please respect copyright.PENANATS2kF8w0db
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAeZivTPxMQW
"Yay!" Zoey and Christine squealed in delight like little kids.1088Please respect copyright.PENANACtPYXk3tW1
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAdYptjrLOWY
"Fun?" I asked, looking surprised. "And where do you think we should go and have fun?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANANYdvw9d2l7
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAjqgKqFbzUs
"Follow me, and I'll show you my jagi." G-Dragon gave me a wink and started walking towards the door.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAGMlKDlaspG
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAKnxgyTjlwA
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA6tkkXXV0Oz
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA3rydjLDHxL
"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."1088Please respect copyright.PENANA7fzlRW7zC9
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAKdEPlpfdvz
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAEBbqreNnjS
1088Please respect copyright.PENANALNmYqADjcx
"So, if anyone is coming with me, I'll be waiting outside in my car," said G-Dragon, and he left the room.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAl5jeYwTTMF
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA2uN1HEq01x
"Well, I'm going," said Zoey as she stood up. "How about you, Sam?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANAAy5yHfl4MJ
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAKlHfHvIfrY
"No, count me out," I said. "I've had enough drama already."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAot8SOhkPaI
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAUVbXSaxJ3A
"Okay, but just know you're going to miss out on all the fun," said Zoey, and she quickly dashed out of the room.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAy5gFFKOZTm
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA9NKnpVQkJk
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.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAB4DTSlSrYG
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAVp5T9CYrLE
"Aren't you going out yourself?" I asked him as I tapped my fingers on my knees.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAEUy9XfbfFK
1088Please respect copyright.PENANApC7WNPlUh6
"Nah, I don't have much to do today," said Daesung. "May I suggest that we go somewhere interesting?"1088Please respect copyright.PENANABJ2aq1Z9sH
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAMzm0r4dK0J
"Yeah, sure. I need to get my mind off what's happened and come up with lyrics for the song."1088Please respect copyright.PENANAT4hOoYnCwl
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAsGyzOXFmAl
"Okay, let's go," said Daesung.1088Please respect copyright.PENANARYFVEOeqy5
1088Please respect copyright.PENANAaaXmzuD3JC
We both stood up from our chairs and left the recording room.1088Please respect copyright.PENANAFzXZyk7W0E
1088Please respect copyright.PENANA1w24VfxfvR
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.
