"I feel like I'm back at school all over again," Zoey complained as she scratched her scalp, her hair already looking messy.1079Please respect copyright.PENANASQ0zxs2w2R
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAw4aXoBKpQi
"Tell me about it," I said as I leaned back further on the couch. "I don't think I can take this anymore."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOpUAYdV4ya
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAzzu6TOy3lt
"This is tiring!" said Daniel, who had his body and his face flat on the floor.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAayYXnxi7Qw
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAAnD21C42cu
"Do we really have to know all of this?" Mike asked lazily as he lay on one of the couches alone.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOcnTQR2nQ2
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAIu9fboI6E5
"Do we have any other choice?" I asked him.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA7UBhsG3HHJ
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAWoZvSMZbxT
"Well, I've got one," said Christine, who sat beside me. "I can easily just pack up and fly back home."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAlRYfQXgsg0
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAfA93LrTrv4
"You're bluffing, and you know it," said Daniel, still flat on the floor.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA6tDsccsSb5
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAnvSOgf5RXV
"Can we order coffee?" Zoey asked. "I need a lot of caffeine. Urgently."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAxLj3h7m8dD
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAYbtdOUP1zC
"You don't need coffee," said Mike. "A healthy breakfast filled with eggs, bacon, bread, and juice is all you need."1079Please respect copyright.PENANASiUu2isSd1
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAU7QaxLi7iA
"Morning, Toxins," said Collins as he entered the lounge. "How's your reading going?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAYgOyrp1brJ
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAteL2bcn2tp
"Reading? It's more like studying until you're brain dead," said Zoey. "Why do we have to know all of these rules?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ13jp1COM
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAtwunkQ63o8
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ7H8UDPCf
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAEMTUEkdmj7
"And you think I would’ve done something about it?" Collins asked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAQF5xz5ROGJ
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAfMzoxjXB4w
"Yes!" the five of us replied simultaneously.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAvnpKt2PFNC
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAVgBRiFGvP0
"Things are a lot more complicated than you think. You can wrap up now. You need to go for practice."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAyiUDhmgqpx
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAQahRWapBxO
"Finally! I thought you would never say that," said Daniel, who quickly got up from the floor.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA8isLfFghT6
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA27wkakzYjU
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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANARY5mjM9npg
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAUELAey3NJN
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA6LNo7Xn0h8
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAO3vGVSrgN3
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA0DB34fHixn
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA7s4zGmUYDU
"Okay, so get changed and meet us downstairs in ten minutes," said Collins.1079Please respect copyright.PENANATS7jTd686v
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA2htM7PvJJP
"Aye, aye, captain," said Zoey, giving Collins a mocking hand salute. Collins rolled his eyes at her and left for the elevator.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAQiCwzozygk
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA8kFP47bUER
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANADjEkv0aBW5
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAaL7RQ0hOKL
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAl6l4GvB2dM
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAVZufBHynIQ
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAAOCNAmUm1V
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAliMJh0TzDS
"Check who is at the door," Zoey said to me quietly.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAgxiha8sUD2
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAwmbUgyMCnz
"Why should I check?" I asked, also with my voice tuned down.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAk0YzqnaSuU
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAMaeKfomM9n
"Daa, you're the leader."1079Please respect copyright.PENANA620xz9k8NB
1079Please respect copyright.PENANABGmy9AK35G
"And what if there's someone out there wanting to kill me?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAu2KiSCELDx
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAP8UCBAop8Y
"You're one who isn't even afraid of watching horror movies. Just go check."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAjMpj0eNtJP
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAL5unkSEHaF
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA5DEFB1Tkts
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOQe9QXZVD6
"What the.....!"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAtLkp4aKcxm
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA2kZkgjTekn
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAfxOdVrQWUl
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAffZRyqUbzF
"Hey, BK," said G-Dragon with a dashing smile on his face. "Did you miss me?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAJMiZsXxCCz
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAVvHqj9S4Wm
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANATy3po7NbXf
1079Please respect copyright.PENANABXH2SCaJYV
"Hello? Sam, can you hear me?" he asked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAWBbz7llv1R
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAT1NMR5yVaX
I shook my head, and I found myself furrowing my eyebrows at him.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAsBKNdbBlTh
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA2TohAK1yBH
"You should really stop doing that!" I said. "You almost gave me a heart attack."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAos9YFKMlDR
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAhAqXRmM5lj
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAAsxeSWhlaw
1079Please respect copyright.PENANArCaUZpBQyv
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAXxWzjDrgZD
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA7nQVSxaEwP
"Aren't you going to say anything, my little kitty?" G-Dragon asked as he smirked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA4tShKqejKc
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAspsjq0Ngcw
"I-uh-" I'm starting to lose my patience. "I hate you, Ji Yong."1079Please respect copyright.PENANA7JOgxGcYTq
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA1aSTkrVxGM
"Says the girl who's still staring into my eyes and yearning to kiss me."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAdiDjII6M7O
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA8xgQw932NP
That's it! I've had enough.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAHEv97fuMpv
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAwiaeGDTfa1
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4NAzSr9gb
1079Please respect copyright.PENANArSXmoTjpeR
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAJunvUUqVok
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAxA9wtmbzG3
"I had some things to take care of," said G-Dragon. "Sorry, I couldn't come."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAZw48i1ilSj
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAzdLCQpw0Q9
"You better say sorry to Sam," said Christine. "It was her special day yesterday, and she was so upset that you didn't show."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAadFevsv10J
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAiY3CfgIqcw
I quickly looked over at Christine, and I gave her the "I'm going to kill you" look.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAKjNx8caDPx
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAQTiTmfW3Xb
"You see, she's still mad now," said Christine, pointing at me.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAjmCzfIg6er
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAUPcUO5EWGT
I rolled my eyes and placed my hand over my forehead. All this is giving me a headache.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAXq2HrEl9vZ
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA62LzDJsAud
"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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANACRZT9OFlU9
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAozBqAHSf4J
"You better have come with something to make her forgive you, or else she will stay mad at you forever," said Mike.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAEk97C3Th7P
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAmrS9Mixqia
OMG! The last thing I need is for my brother to join in this charade.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAaeo8Z75t9u
1079Please respect copyright.PENANApWwk4Sd6px
"Don't worry, I've got just the thing to cheer her up," said G-Dragon.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAWDNPEGKhj8
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAlK1TVcIEj5
I rolled my eyes, as I still had my back facing the others. What could he possibly do to cheer me up?1079Please respect copyright.PENANApXDNjwDE2H
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAuxEh5HfcHk
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?1079Please respect copyright.PENANAU1bt7Khdam
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA2dUNFvFZtO
"How did you know I love roses?" I asked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAqKsu50ta8H
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAK3hzzcmyro
"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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAWFEHKuqXN6
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAxVsPGkTHYi
Oh, yeah. I forgot we had that.1079Please respect copyright.PENANANlM5KEcycb
1079Please respect copyright.PENANATwgVL9sojc
I took the roses and sniffed them. They smelled lovely. At that moment, I forgot that I was even mad.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAvRfQd2IXKe
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOhOxoDHMa7
"So, you're not mad at me anymore?" G-Dragon asked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAl2n9b4xu5g
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAFq1FiGXJav
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?1079Please respect copyright.PENANAq5BW1Y0Lsj
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAklitw5W7zQ
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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANA8gxoivJT8s
1079Please respect copyright.PENANADNuUxNqb9r
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?1079Please respect copyright.PENANA7UkCNz69ZA
1079Please respect copyright.PENANACdu9kgxgs4
"Wow, thanks, GD," I said. "To be honest, I'm not mad at you for not being around yesterday."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAL4oBJ7qngT
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAAHzhEakRxL
"I know. I just wanted to make up for it. And by the way, congratulations."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAUpN77aM6AO
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAPFQIpuK2XT
"Thanks." I couldn't stop blushing. In addition, it felt quite embarrassing.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAToPf36DILj
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA2l3fqppG68
"Aww, this video is going to go viral," said Zoey.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAaX7gFKwGB5
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAayNuPFEIXZ
When I turned to face Zoey, I noticed that she had her phone camera pointed at us.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAuO6ZCsZ0x1
1079Please respect copyright.PENANANIpRYILhB7
"Zoey, are you recording this?" I asked even when I already knew the answer.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAFTQvuL68sF
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAu0rIUqRrgy
"Yeah, who wouldn't?" Zoey asked. "There's nothing you can do about it, though. I've already posted it online."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAYo9ngKIX8z
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAsgADW5V4hi
"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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAQFtnEMN4yA
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA9cIw91TIbZ
"Whoa!" Zoey backed away a little as I approached. "Sam, chill out. It's just a video, okay? It's nothing serious."1079Please respect copyright.PENANALEkVMYDiyw
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA8HQuqaK6NW
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAP2NFw28oT5
1079Please respect copyright.PENANARugJDSCqQ0
"Great, Zoey," said Daniel. "You just made Sam more upset."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAwEbZUXBkYP
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAeLMtN7P3ri
"Sam, relax, okay?" said Zoey. "Don't worry; I'll delete it before anyone sees it."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAnTq35l4Cas
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA1gbzJd3308
When Zoey checked her phone, the look on her face made me realize that she was a little too late.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAMpmQs01Uh0
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAulu2e2Y3Y1
"Whoops," Zoey said, as she gave me an apologetic look.1079Please respect copyright.PENANArUiRc2RsAB
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOGeQXAtKUN
"You just made things worse, didn't you?" Daniel asked as he shook his head.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAp4nCO0pjCb
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAaNA40zIH6b
"I'm so dead," I said, also shaking my head.1079Please respect copyright.PENANASMIpLpsrPB
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA8i42mYerK0
"I'm sorry, Sam," said Zoey. "It already has 15 views. It's probably on YouTube since I posted it on my fan page."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAfp4vghXukz
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAog8hZgpWxo
"Sometimes I wonder why you're ever around me," I said through my teeth.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAsleSV18kgj
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA87MYO1o6Sp
"Chill, B.K." said G-Dragon as he came to stand beside me. "What's done is done. Don't worry about a thing."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAhkcjHiKATd
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAKSr0T2s3Cw
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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANA6xgPEujcyJ
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAiCLhRZF2zF
"It looks like we've got G-Dragon to thank," said Mike. "You really know how to mess things up, Zoey."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAuKYlPVWntl
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAR50hhlKjrw
"Thanks, Mike. You're making me feel ten times worse," said Zoey with a frown.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAqTG1OA4oIT
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAglRFQEzME2
"Can we please put this behind us and continue practicing?" Daniel asked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAbIefAZnGxb
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA6X9Cu3rYG5
"To be honest, I don't feel like it anymore," I said. "Zoey just ruined my mood."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAi8U1s5BD6h
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAFBdt3jztE4
"Hey, I said I'm sorry," said Zoey.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAK6ECCfvPti
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAniIIhRfl4w
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAmOpazuszEW
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAGp1xns6dCN
"Oh, I completely forgot about that," said Christine.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAwM6Yr6bJN2
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAWtjosKnwnX
"Let's go freshen up first," said Mike.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA07XogejEyY
1079Please respect copyright.PENANALAEbDH9OfA
"Let's do that," I said as I quickly took the box of chocolates away from G-Dragon. "And I'll be taking that."1079Please respect copyright.PENANASqSFYm2mfD
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA7xGl59dhhu
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAmWza8b4yN4
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAXIgqdfaMts
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA7WF55Wp7Vq
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAMS6S5EPojY
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?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAkSNI2AEe6g
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAJBYfLX1voZ
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA9MaVy5cYHl
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAB4WEPKBJYm
"I know what video you're talking about, Daesung," I said, trying to keep my cool.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA4gvXNw99jq
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAur98weIWLb
"Judging by the looks of things, Zoey must have done something, right?" Daesung asked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANASM19dp7kxD
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAWg5aONhXsm
"She surely did," I replied as I continued to stare at her like a lion would at its prey.1079Please respect copyright.PENANADi5YwOoMlJ
1079Please respect copyright.PENANALWT5qGwD15
"Can we please stop talking about that?" Zoey asked. "I already feel awful about all of this, and you're making it worse."1079Please respect copyright.PENANA10MyqIHNmQ
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA1ma90NO4a7
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAkV9jnFnu31
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAc2JH9dpTaG
"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?1079Please respect copyright.PENANAghRoSlDi48
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAd8XnFIp8SC
"Oh. It looks like we all received the same notification," said Daniel. "Classic!"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAqlpPRiqrT0
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOR29LQYPBw
"If I were you, Sam, I wouldn't even read the comments," said Daesung, also checking his phone.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAiuxOC76KLh
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAgXvB2r4c3a
"What are they saying?" G-Dragon asked with a grin on his face as he went over to Daesung.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAzRvonTfLZv
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAMlNuQjN3E1
"I don't want to hear it," I said as I leaned back on the chair and put my phone back in my pocket.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAxli001UGA2
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAxNVAJkKEdY
"The most amazing couple ever," Christine read aloud in surprise.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA9pylbTfxwa
1079Please respect copyright.PENANANPU3fsjOgy
"This isn't good," I said as I closed my eyes.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA4i9v6W0OF7
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAIpr9mxenAN
"Aww, so cute. These people just make the perfect couple. GD is so romantic," Mike also read out.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAWLtKFWsTDk
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAB0M9JK8cUf
"Please, stop reading the comments," I said, holding my head. I felt like it was about to explode.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAdlZQRfm5kg
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAnSYAJDwFa1
"Sorry, we'll try to keep it down," said Mike as he smirked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAWTN28TBt9x
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAfT99XzWn55
"Hey, guys, listen to this one," said G-Dragon. "I hate to admit this, but these two look so..."1079Please respect copyright.PENANANKrEJlbp77
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAGBkMSzMSs1
"Enough, please!" I exclaimed. "The last thing I need is someone reading a comment that says you and I should get married."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAfF6ipQwiFX
1079Please respect copyright.PENANABOTLc0Kni1
"You're really good at guessing, Sam," said Daesung, his eyes still on the phone. "This comment says exactly that."1079Please respect copyright.PENANALVHlAq0YJ4
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAyPQk1ebNjK
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANANROZFs9aQs
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAln1z32e16K
"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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAbXte7LHOZs
1079Please respect copyright.PENANABd1YZJfWpB
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANALsxNIHRROs
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAJIqjN00BbW
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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANACX4rHA4jBC

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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAlrePIuFI42
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAScmMn7LVPU
"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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAo9L1po5z1G
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOv6Ecw3XZg
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAllqg33CBaN
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAtcwndXEf3E
"Isn't that a good thing?" G-Dragon asked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOyUkPDnC2J
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAjtkYGVqixk
"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?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAI88bNicu0w
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAAo6VDe3KVr
"Mum will be furious that you didn't say anything about a boy," said Mike, with a wicked look on his face.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAY5CHixcr9n
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAtYsqvzcysP
"Yeah, that's my problem," I said to G-Dragon as I pointed my finger at Mike because of what he said. "My mother."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAH828vk3Chg
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAtSnU0JRltL
"She'll understand," said Daesung. "We're in a world of fame. Rumors are bound to fly around anyhow."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAPCFC0ARyXN
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOPf5QDkFBR
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANADIYWyrbACZ
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA4pMsqYytQ9
"Mm, well, I'm lucky to be that special guy," said G-Dragon with that smile of his.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAwk2XacdR28
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAychIANG8iZ
"You're not helping, GD," I said as I shook my head.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAZuPd2lDNh9
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAUxiZt7vwfu
The door flew open, and Taeyang, T.O.P., and Seungri came in.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAc1TgSxq8wP
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAFy26ffiZWf
"So this is where you are," said Taeyang. "Has anyone seen what's going on?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAKbXyQyxunM
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAnU5gAZfrWC
"If you're talking about Sam and G-Dragon's video going viral, we already know," said Christine.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAKzHUz18VQG
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAyCg3ctfBQ3
"Who posted the video?" T.O.P asked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAIIo1BDAepj
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAREb9zx3lgo
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAHL1V6dU48m
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOPyGzdil8C
"Eish, can you all stop looking at me like I'm a criminal? I did say I was sorry," said Zoey.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAQbYfJpFUqE
1079Please respect copyright.PENANACftce89PxB
"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?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANASIcA5UPKZ4
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAQcCsAWwogR
"As clear as crystal," said Zoey, nodding her head like a little child.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAnABlbyakAd
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAu0ockmRJCI
"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?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAYBH2tCcTS9
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA6u8oKjnZtf
"I agree. Let's start," said Seungri as he took a seat and made himself comfortable.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAzraYReXqLn
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAl8030eLjvb
Everyone gathered in a circle, and for what seemed like minutes, we were just staring at each other in silence.1079Please respect copyright.PENANArDhkLN3CHm
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAqqftOvtqn2
"Are we going to just stare at each other?" I asked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANABuaivTmqZr
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAfzqRruikM5
"I thought you were spearheading this," said Taeyang.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAsErUe9Em2j
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAjyyqDGA7Tj
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAnMFE0BzP8H
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA8FR4LyJOSz
Zoey, sitting next to me, pulled me by the arm, drawing me closer to her so that she could whisper in my ear.1079Please respect copyright.PENANApeObXvJw8H
1079Please respect copyright.PENANALd51IMXzQA
"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?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAqzBsgSC5yR
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA1xgYARAX4l
"Wow, I never would've thought that you took the pamphlet and read it," I whispered back with a smile.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAm3V67fZT1q
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAordnhmhcN5
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA6aclVKh1Zk
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAR6zjfutZRd
"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?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAmLV7dIMmVA
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAG8lFepNHoe
"Do I have a choice?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAxOBOtffSUD
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ad5P62uwZ
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAuRUwsXgKk0
1079Please respect copyright.PENANALmsyMorvK6
"Okay, so what do you think the song should be based on?" G-Dragon asked. "I would like everyone to bring out their opinions."1079Please respect copyright.PENANADgLGMUkUTd
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAUEBkAy0J6h
"Let me start," said Zoey. "I think we should do a love song."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAyneTG5R1JQ
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAKqMVV0BwdG
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANA9c9LPS5Nng
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAoSyGUOr6c3
"I just had a change of heart."1079Please respect copyright.PENANASDEQ36xCH6
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAJwprbmxq24
"Well, that's a surprise."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAPKAgbQeVBQ
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAlYT0ONAVTg
"Okay, well, I'll go with Zoey on this one," said Christine. "A love song will be perfect."1079Please respect copyright.PENANA37LOlXUJMz
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAvOVc6HmU0F
"I think that's too cheesy," said Taeyang.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAdejJXyiWWI
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAQCj4r6jk6p
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANANeS88aBIU1
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAoYCR7C0cG1
"Now you're talking," said G-Dragon. "Okay, so who all agrees with Sam that it should be an all-pop song?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANA48gQTtL2Po
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAubvtT8pnmp
Everyone except me raised his or her hand. I looked over at Zoey, and she gave me a wink.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOQy3LcdLhK
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA7CU9tQqfAC
"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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA52mZbmK1sq
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAcF5KItebrr
"Fun and games," Mike blurted out.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAtEMhZcfHNb
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAVMOqHhuIcq
"Boys, beach parties, and stuff," said Zoey. I hit my forehead with my hand when she said that.1079Please respect copyright.PENANALg1hDTxIkE
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAYSyCkZBP2L
"Pandas," said Seungri.1079Please respect copyright.PENANANHfTA1JeKw
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAyFTr2n1UEm
Zoey and I burst out laughing, and we both said, "Good one, Seungri!"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAHHjimKhcZ7
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAncaC6pTbQP
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANASmMR9iMXzC
1079Please respect copyright.PENANADj9oQQ9Gvm
"How about just making it a little more like a love song but still having that pop beat in it?" Taeyang asked.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAaJJiTMiW7M
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAPkCwWoscXQ
"It ain't that bad, though," said Daesung. "But I think the song should be more about fun and something funky too."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAJDNam4Nixl
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAfBv5Vev5Oz
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAT4GkQKkwfd
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAinNB6QZhRy
"So, the song should be fun and have a catchy beat," said G-Dragon, considering everything.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAYWvqvk7BqL
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAMlxb5xaX6S
"Yeah, it should be a bit more like 'Fantastic Baby,'" said Daniel.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA2U2fVVrwA0
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAkFbawqqtxr
"You, Daniel, just read my mind," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAIcZSBGyEN5
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAB2KzsfNdk8
"Okay, so we've got that figured out," said G-Dragon. "We'll have to start working on the lyrics and the beat."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAddPiOEbRJZ
1079Please respect copyright.PENANARe1zZ5k2is
"Sam, you should write the lyrics," said Zoey.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA7pfzb6OAHq
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAS8jBZ8HvtC
I looked at Zoey and gave her a look, telling her to shut up.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAFrO6Vft7XI
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA8TfawD3tfH
"Yeah, I hear she's a very good songwriter," said Seungri.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAbi9pq4vmg7
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAG2DQS48PbM
"Well, I never write alone," I said shyly. I feel a little uncomfortable when people praise me for my songwriting.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAf0A9EHUU35
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAMPWGb7kc27
"I'll help you," said G-Dragon. "But everyone will have to too."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAwFsAZc9oyj
1079Please respect copyright.PENANARDB76d8dXl
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANA6MOm3LLhSM
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAwrdyRgdkTo
"It's okay," said G-Dragon. "The two are our best dancers, so they'll come up with moves and be our choreographers."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAChS3DSWb3b
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAadjbzdkxxt
"Sweet, so when do we start working on the song?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANACc2R7HF7jc
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAf7LxeyCAUE
"We can start tomorrow," answered G-Dragon. "We can't just start writing right here and now."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAc2Ti3U6Ckf
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAGNv0Kbxq0V
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAvNlNqLPrX3
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAEREjcsYRnB
"We go have fun," answered G-Dragon as he stood up from his seat.1079Please respect copyright.PENANActF5PbcVU8
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZVk7eto3j
"Yay!" Zoey and Christine squealed in delight like little kids.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAFG4DOutjK7
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA45hPBLCNFK
"Fun?" I asked, looking surprised. "And where do you think we should go and have fun?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAg0eRKmSGga
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAstS4o3lPRV
"Follow me, and I'll show you my jagi." G-Dragon gave me a wink and started walking towards the door.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAJtfxRbpwi7
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAFNPXuUJaGf
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAzjO6FIgzUx
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAVzpcMJlmOe
"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."1079Please respect copyright.PENANA8Gg02msqiK
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAaNHTMhfdmU
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAKrsMxJ4JDp
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA6XYls58bww
"So, if anyone is coming with me, I'll be waiting outside in my car," said G-Dragon, and he left the room.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAN0JcDEG1pq
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA8DSsczWhfO
"Well, I'm going," said Zoey as she stood up. "How about you, Sam?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAUyTWEDb8c9
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAwb0wiO2ttf
"No, count me out," I said. "I've had enough drama already."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAOmC1WGIelS
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAdzOZkxZXCz
"Okay, but just know you're going to miss out on all the fun," said Zoey, and she quickly dashed out of the room.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAlufhJBQeGK
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA1xSVNsooTl
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.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA0NGQNw3axp
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAfrEha6kHpU
"Aren't you going out yourself?" I asked him as I tapped my fingers on my knees.1079Please respect copyright.PENANA7nieKTrjry
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAKGUSgnVL58
"Nah, I don't have much to do today," said Daesung. "May I suggest that we go somewhere interesting?"1079Please respect copyright.PENANAsvCxiO4Uu7
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAgW4rykYwqy
"Yeah, sure. I need to get my mind off what's happened and come up with lyrics for the song."1079Please respect copyright.PENANAi5Odwdj7yf
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAoa5teRGc1Y
"Okay, let's go," said Daesung.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAbRTulmwoxA
1079Please respect copyright.PENANA47fgD4q548
We both stood up from our chairs and left the recording room.1079Please respect copyright.PENANAypjq1h0UJD
1079Please respect copyright.PENANAysGijp9Fqh
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.
