The water felt like a 730Please respect copyright.PENANAJCvRzCuTaT
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 730Please respect copyright.PENANAOIiArbah8A
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAEoQGPNchoa
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 730Please respect copyright.PENANAcidflf0fxp
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 730Please respect copyright.PENANAgECDEtoQdF
breathe. 730Please respect copyright.PENANA8lSvy6MUht
I pushed myself upwards 730Please respect copyright.PENANA33Uz7OTlHs
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of730Please respect copyright.PENANAxDpXFLdrj6
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 730Please respect copyright.PENANAxn35RkFRJ9
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAhj1888G1bJ
edge.730Please respect copyright.PENANAxSy8vOc2NX
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.730Please respect copyright.PENANAPfQyIM975w
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.730Please respect copyright.PENANAQVeURlaHzZ
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.730Please respect copyright.PENANABkbB48yLCx
I looked ridiculously 730Please respect copyright.PENANAY1aXjxGXhb
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 730Please respect copyright.PENANArGe4UrWihv
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 730Please respect copyright.PENANAxOi5beEZnh
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 730Please respect copyright.PENANAu8x5jyhkGs
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 730Please respect copyright.PENANADNhbZLWJPg
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.730Please respect copyright.PENANALMd9uhEZfz
I looked around me and 730Please respect copyright.PENANAFzKh7Kp2rP
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAw9SvRmh3gG
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 730Please respect copyright.PENANADbs4uJTrC4
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 730Please respect copyright.PENANA3BPZzFpGZA
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.730Please respect copyright.PENANA33x7QNCgAF
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."730Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0CP3HmKb7
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."730Please respect copyright.PENANAFdmC3R6vTd
I heard Zoey and the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAsICIa8DmtF
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on730Please respect copyright.PENANAe8vjrH8I3x
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.730Please respect copyright.PENANAX9hns60GF5
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 730Please respect copyright.PENANASyxbdXVF6r
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's730Please respect copyright.PENANAPkFlk2zGbg
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 730Please respect copyright.PENANAO8QZcb3i2B
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."730Please respect copyright.PENANAnVu5NhMLJY
"I already told you, I'm730Please respect copyright.PENANAsriucVT1ef
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I730Please respect copyright.PENANAdr88cC3j6x
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 730Please respect copyright.PENANAcbhkYyNYeE
from anyone.730Please respect copyright.PENANAjMa71hRwEd
I made my way towards GD730Please respect copyright.PENANAG6XV3qy4OQ
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what730Please respect copyright.PENANAiAsxOrveEP
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 730Please respect copyright.PENANAboCbCXVVXl
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.730Please respect copyright.PENANAMcZtExlOxY
"Oh, man, Sam," said 730Please respect copyright.PENANAG9WX4oFY30
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 730Please respect copyright.PENANA8nKzp5FjCB
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAmENWT39HIm
game. Hope you didn't mind."730Please respect copyright.PENANA0bj8mjO8FA
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."730Please respect copyright.PENANAA3WJncm0Cc
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."730Please respect copyright.PENANA8T5QpXU4Cm
"I told you, our 730Please respect copyright.PENANA5LVL1BIcDa
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 730Please respect copyright.PENANAzKIyXnPT9T
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 730Please respect copyright.PENANAitOiavpRlJ
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 730Please respect copyright.PENANAZJN2znhrLl
Daesung.730Please respect copyright.PENANALHgj071pMa
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.730Please respect copyright.PENANAMnUG6B1MYT
I dialled Lee's number 730Please respect copyright.PENANALcihuU4eWF
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 730Please respect copyright.PENANAKCbqDbqXYA
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2y7SkylmI
They would know soon enough.730Please respect copyright.PENANAHLwYsYWwZQ
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.730Please respect copyright.PENANAGHZidjXUc8
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.730Please respect copyright.PENANAxwFf1xQmB9
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"730Please respect copyright.PENANATJ2hEqKJ5l
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAt5uKDdd3yU
"No, not yet. But you 730Please respect copyright.PENANAsGxQ5PQFkR
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And730Please respect copyright.PENANAlP4eXnBATa
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."730Please respect copyright.PENANAX1huSSLNOK
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."730Please respect copyright.PENANAVVCMix32fJ
"Okay, I'll be waiting."730Please respect copyright.PENANA5IhWO4GtMM
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.730Please respect copyright.PENANA1Aa3nRlWn1
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAf7GVIHPskN
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."730Please respect copyright.PENANA3dB6PDjdXN
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAPiKjGhihLz
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."730Please respect copyright.PENANAQmbvkJLc2h
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.730Please respect copyright.PENANAEDiesdmtkD
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."730Please respect copyright.PENANA5qOH3bAXFG
I shook my head. I was 730Please respect copyright.PENANAu74PDUv1Hd
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 730Please respect copyright.PENANAf7zQuGYm8d
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 730Please respect copyright.PENANAyVx2a5tPgX
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.730Please respect copyright.PENANABvKO3qUKvk
After walking a few feet730Please respect copyright.PENANAQldMIcAkbk
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 730Please respect copyright.PENANAcCUKOyiRPd
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was730Please respect copyright.PENANAJ21pJMI55z
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 730Please respect copyright.PENANA47Mbd3C5Tc
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.730Please respect copyright.PENANA1H9G3xfBde
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANA26dtYhP4HV
None of them answered as730Please respect copyright.PENANAN5meOKrtt5
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAaHSdOKGX2w
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 730Please respect copyright.PENANAp2nFhPUAZX
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.730Please respect copyright.PENANANR4CANbmbM
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.730Please respect copyright.PENANAkU1Mvfpmts
"I wasn't going to say 730Please respect copyright.PENANAPC5oMGnKKk
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing730Please respect copyright.PENANAsiSjabbdi8
you would want to hear from me is advice."730Please respect copyright.PENANAg43wCPWIYQ
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAcovRVEmaeH
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.730Please respect copyright.PENANAPDRsybZgSO
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."730Please respect copyright.PENANANqB6ZEzpSg
"I'm still upset, though."730Please respect copyright.PENANAf6GpEV1ZkS
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."730Please respect copyright.PENANA0pmIQkHg1d
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."730Please respect copyright.PENANARBspUxqw8C
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."730Please respect copyright.PENANAntapWzOc1Z
I gave TOP an assuring 730Please respect copyright.PENANAnxDUQjs7ud
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way730Please respect copyright.PENANAOCtvGHBuei
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAiH9TP5g4nf
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I730Please respect copyright.PENANAnnjkRjpXOt
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't730Please respect copyright.PENANAXAJCnEcEiY
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 730Please respect copyright.PENANAqsRbUmDGTP
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.730Please respect copyright.PENANAryKY7p84eJ
We all found ourselves 730Please respect copyright.PENANACbNDUvsGvb
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins730Please respect copyright.PENANApkJU5bVKBy
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 730Please respect copyright.PENANAo4kjEbMTn7
were waiting for me. 730Please respect copyright.PENANANjm4ulTsNx
"Hey, Sam, you don't 730Please respect copyright.PENANAAqgOExZ7Vr
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 730Please respect copyright.PENANATUN4YtWkmi
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.730Please respect copyright.PENANAFaMY3K1sOy
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."730Please respect copyright.PENANAtShNKvGuaM
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 730Please respect copyright.PENANA4LeP0atE9y
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 730Please respect copyright.PENANA7o2TM8rGED
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch730Please respect copyright.PENANA6O33HvA0yH
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAzPLk00rgR2
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.730Please respect copyright.PENANA1nqG3AutPh
I had my eyes closed 730Please respect copyright.PENANAPSdopFDsxj
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found730Please respect copyright.PENANAHbwYGmqU11
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.730Please respect copyright.PENANAsREr74o75Q
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."730Please respect copyright.PENANA4mcfOEKXic
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.730Please respect copyright.PENANAlcD9tf6XpR
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."730Please respect copyright.PENANAUwaNpsqfkU
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."730Please respect copyright.PENANAs2YQNUOkxb
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."730Please respect copyright.PENANAu7kQxhtD0P
Taeyang led me to his 730Please respect copyright.PENANANg7n79KTJk
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 730Please respect copyright.PENANAC9Twej76xr
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 730Please respect copyright.PENANACWGTDE94bl
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.730Please respect copyright.PENANAXqwkrjLbIb
In about thirty minutes,730Please respect copyright.PENANAWujMRZ0Yny
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 730Please respect copyright.PENANA0ds8jKNsY8
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 730Please respect copyright.PENANAaAYmFNy34X
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 730Please respect copyright.PENANAHAfPFYESM0
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 730Please respect copyright.PENANAJKP8oHw5QS
appeared out of the elevator.730Please respect copyright.PENANAc97q1iaXwm
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAUuDdCYeAqg
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.730Please respect copyright.PENANAarkKb4IaZs
Lee who stood behind 730Please respect copyright.PENANA3fVnnMHOgV
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 730Please respect copyright.PENANAmsSpDGRUxu
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 730Please respect copyright.PENANAKr1LscxNKc
other things in mind.730Please respect copyright.PENANAfDBBjBUdkJ
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"730Please respect copyright.PENANArr0jy3pQ2T
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 730Please respect copyright.PENANAEll4ldon1J
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 730Please respect copyright.PENANAMPg0DrfoG2
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.730Please respect copyright.PENANAiOtQOfvYbj
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANA4u23e6Efgo
"We didn't just go there to have fun," I said, with my head down. "If there's anyone to blame for all this, it's me."730Please respect copyright.PENANApH4DBfzOYD
There was an awkward 730Please respect copyright.PENANAwZlhZb8Z2s
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,730Please respect copyright.PENANAtJWesDZaVx
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.730Please respect copyright.PENANAKgDJ7rAqsJ
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAh81xUpTCf8
"Well, I hear the press 730Please respect copyright.PENANAKSwGdFBeSJ
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon730Please respect copyright.PENANAeQFs5gG0q3
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."730Please respect copyright.PENANAxeQbOiksne
"That won't be 730Please respect copyright.PENANAzo0IHWC0KL
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 730Please respect copyright.PENANAIwVVnPJIGa
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to730Please respect copyright.PENANA3aV81vyq5q
go to the press looking all wet."730Please respect copyright.PENANAa1xPur2fwt
I breathed out a sigh of730Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6d6ZE18C5
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 730Please respect copyright.PENANAHISsbCssDB
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.730Please respect copyright.PENANAc3zl7Ow983
"In the meantime, you go730Please respect copyright.PENANANqQatSJGJP
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 730Please respect copyright.PENANAeB11Zt0QOQ
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."730Please respect copyright.PENANAnNhB3y607W
I nodded my head in 730Please respect copyright.PENANA5bFhvjqi3Z
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 730Please respect copyright.PENANAhBZ0zec9F2
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.730Please respect copyright.PENANAdNEzJKvkq2
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.730Please respect copyright.PENANAjJgN51XCS6
"Alright," I said 730Please respect copyright.PENANAXMzSARjw1o
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 730Please respect copyright.PENANAKsBBNhGapC
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like730Please respect copyright.PENANAoT6uCxTDJA
I was only making things worse.730Please respect copyright.PENANA0uq9AXHJ0s
Before I turned to leave730Please respect copyright.PENANAz2uZtRiuGw
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 730Please respect copyright.PENANAOLL4toin9W
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 730Please respect copyright.PENANAPRN6ejDQh5
one.730Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3lRhPz44z
***730Please respect copyright.PENANAKxMKnX7GRW
I sat on the couch all 730Please respect copyright.PENANAFS9H8gD0IY
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued730Please respect copyright.PENANAiMf4LhfR4q
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"730Please respect copyright.PENANADP6MM9FayN
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 730Please respect copyright.PENANA6CICIy4Lls
I had a box of paper 730Please respect copyright.PENANA2gq1GEpJmZ
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my730Please respect copyright.PENANA5b4GTfWQdE
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 730Please respect copyright.PENANAgOPKTQGCm4
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.730Please respect copyright.PENANAdB5lAZt79j
I continued watching the730Please respect copyright.PENANA8QIZBzX7Po
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 730Please respect copyright.PENANA3hl6Y5fJG6
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.730Please respect copyright.PENANAt66pyafCpz
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.730Please respect copyright.PENANAixQaeCtBM1
"Never better," I said, 730Please respect copyright.PENANAMAJhmoK87b
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 730Please respect copyright.PENANAHw8gZNDcsi
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."730Please respect copyright.PENANAPa6nXvMTrF
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.730Please respect copyright.PENANAVVDF3kUyu4
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.730Please respect copyright.PENANAVLW89AC7sf
"Ya, I'm actually enjoying it," I said as I put in a spoonful of chicken soup in my mouth. Mmm, it was so tasty.730Please respect copyright.PENANAHamXryYCxt
"And the others?" 730Please respect copyright.PENANAuZzgF0dDn4
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.730Please respect copyright.PENANATsunmuMK9c
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.730Please respect copyright.PENANA0HmjHd8NXj
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAxDojBWklEr
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.730Please respect copyright.PENANAjcx8z2cegg
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.730Please respect copyright.PENANAnfOJlBm1Xw
"You don't know or you are?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8wmC49Byw
I shrugged my shoulders. To be completely honest, I am still mad, but then again, I felt like I wasn't and that felt confusing.730Please respect copyright.PENANA3LiYcC8Pb0
"I don't know, Tae," I 730Please respect copyright.PENANAWP4ckCmkhs
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 730Please respect copyright.PENANA9RM2QVhmQn
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 730Please respect copyright.PENANAJkM5O9OUN2
forget all that happened yesterday."730Please respect copyright.PENANA79rb0dO1mQ
"Ya, I understand. They 730Please respect copyright.PENANAl2QMJwBycv
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 730Please respect copyright.PENANAk3nRQd174r
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were730Please respect copyright.PENANARiizzMld15
going to get."730Please respect copyright.PENANAGebcnEccnv
I looked on at Taeyang 730Please respect copyright.PENANA0P6w7bWez5
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 730Please respect copyright.PENANA5XQIagpsjl
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 730Please respect copyright.PENANAzo2NObIxWl
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 730Please respect copyright.PENANA86NYgHWd7K
who was as tough as nails.730Please respect copyright.PENANAxoS6NREUsK
Last night, I took the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAKFBQqWrJkd
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 730Please respect copyright.PENANACXnzWkSfXW
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 730Please respect copyright.PENANA5eTKmOwwNI
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 730Please respect copyright.PENANAl59PNDd9E2
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 730Please respect copyright.PENANA4GKyv9PrNh
Apparently, the managers730Please respect copyright.PENANA1ik2LQwFUS
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 730Please respect copyright.PENANAAWHvUONTJT
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought730Please respect copyright.PENANAL9XapKOAEE
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 730Please respect copyright.PENANAy4RPgOyq0G
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 730Please respect copyright.PENANAWCLo9dEejV
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 730Please respect copyright.PENANA6tMs5enRHC
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 730Please respect copyright.PENANAoaJS91cS4D
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 730Please respect copyright.PENANACVuLusAKR0
and the reporters.730Please respect copyright.PENANA85cxaacoNt
After my confrontation 730Please respect copyright.PENANAokQJUy79xF
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I730Please respect copyright.PENANA5AXol1ckH1
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,730Please respect copyright.PENANA8YUHm7GY7N
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.730Please respect copyright.PENANAL5CVlWyPqG
"Huh, I guess am still upset," I said, as I took in another spoon of soup in my mouth. "Especially after what GD did to me."730Please respect copyright.PENANAuHQoXMdGoT
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.730Please respect copyright.PENANAISlU39VXnS
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."730Please respect copyright.PENANAwAB8pfou30
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."730Please respect copyright.PENANAyI0vJ0tXaU
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."730Please respect copyright.PENANADLZRIltTzL
"Have you tried talking to GD?"730Please respect copyright.PENANA0UrgzAdkSE
"To be honest, I haven't730Please respect copyright.PENANAGXMStXTXpf
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 730Please respect copyright.PENANAJTqyD5Z3jB
slap him in the face if I see him."730Please respect copyright.PENANAJKLappeKS2
"I don't doubt that."730Please respect copyright.PENANAB9zHEVfDV8
"And thank goodness my 730Please respect copyright.PENANAdRVbN7ml90
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 730Please respect copyright.PENANAW116iwwJXq
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I730Please respect copyright.PENANAlab6m3qJIB
want to do is watch some TV."730Please respect copyright.PENANAAt4n4tpefc
I quickly drank my 730Please respect copyright.PENANApdgkZVypM4
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 730Please respect copyright.PENANALmO5fEdBkN
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 730Please respect copyright.PENANADzIuf9FucG
to.730Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q221lerT9
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.730Please respect copyright.PENANACqvT6ylMW4
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.730Please respect copyright.PENANAjwTlSbsz2F
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"730Please respect copyright.PENANArtbMOmklCQ
"Nope."730Please respect copyright.PENANAK40u4whUQR
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.730Please respect copyright.PENANATwrQsdhR6q
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANApT9WIuDzdR
Taeyang didn't say 730Please respect copyright.PENANA1lHfcXzdkY
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened730Please respect copyright.PENANAnrpzEw4XdB
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."730Please respect copyright.PENANAQccQ613Lp9
"I know you fought or 730Please respect copyright.PENANAuCUOyHCq1b
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 730Please respect copyright.PENANARKIZ7CPKRZ
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."730Please respect copyright.PENANAdBlpdOVRdz
I noticed Taeyang smile 730Please respect copyright.PENANAmSqhHcTnpd
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 730Please respect copyright.PENANA3omWxRVYOr
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 730Please respect copyright.PENANA0poeB63xNY
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.730Please respect copyright.PENANArAiEmnGUZ3
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.730Please respect copyright.PENANAOMXEACvEHU
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."730Please respect copyright.PENANAfnh2rnQAbP
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?730Please respect copyright.PENANAEWiUGI6r7S
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.730Please respect copyright.PENANApb4Yz2l7ib
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."730Please respect copyright.PENANA7RKJSKoFkq
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."730Please respect copyright.PENANAiKKH610WKg
Before I could finish my730Please respect copyright.PENANAsxN8eBJiYV
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 730Please respect copyright.PENANAjsbzorLvTL
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.730Please respect copyright.PENANAcNremHOSdy
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.730Please respect copyright.PENANAig7oIbwQSs
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.730Please respect copyright.PENANAe4tufHqKOM
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."730Please respect copyright.PENANAB37L8hJZ8Y
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."730Please respect copyright.PENANADg915Bc3Iw
"Yep, cheers to that." 730Please respect copyright.PENANAbszcDCNylY
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAIgFiEURQMH
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.730Please respect copyright.PENANA2fxGSedrO6
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAPDJl9rPVly
"We can't work on it without you," said Taeyang. "You and G-Dragon decided that the both of you would work on it together."730Please respect copyright.PENANA7PVoSgkeos
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."730Please respect copyright.PENANAtsg9s1shlo
"Wow, that sounds personal."730Please respect copyright.PENANAhhCYmQ0EM2
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."730Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4dUzh9rVP
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAgGUVS0Zy3f
"I think I've a better 730Please respect copyright.PENANA2CYUbDYeAR
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 730Please respect copyright.PENANAbWGYhmUv3P
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 730Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gl60GdQBE
lyrics. It's better that way."730Please respect copyright.PENANAlcBJsrFjV0
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"730Please respect copyright.PENANApMyzRyIxem
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."730Please respect copyright.PENANAvlrR1oQbLT
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."730Please respect copyright.PENANAApJGLJUIiC
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."730Please respect copyright.PENANA8V8Gsz3PlQ
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."730Please respect copyright.PENANA850gpik761
"Haha, good point."730Please respect copyright.PENANArFI8PFNK82
Taeyang and I continued 730Please respect copyright.PENANAmcCx0gcJUc
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 730Please respect copyright.PENANAnBMCZd556Q
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 730Please respect copyright.PENANAoueOUlodBo
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we730Please respect copyright.PENANAYeDqgiTDpH
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 730Please respect copyright.PENANA5EWUO19mZu
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 730Please respect copyright.PENANAyxJZyy12oV
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 730Please respect copyright.PENANAYJZ6O3vc6o
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 730Please respect copyright.PENANAtwpx3cmkv2
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.730Please respect copyright.PENANAbI0GzAZ1aQ
While the two of us were730Please respect copyright.PENANACODiPtplpI
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,730Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ1FGyUIfA
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 730Please respect copyright.PENANASJxa11zqmo
I quickly went over to 730Please respect copyright.PENANAXx0MUZ2oAz
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was730Please respect copyright.PENANAU1Ld1N7avA
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung730Please respect copyright.PENANAUrc0RangfY
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could730Please respect copyright.PENANAqc3BApBr68
come up and I put the receiver down.730Please respect copyright.PENANA4ELMk0ISQ0
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."730Please respect copyright.PENANAppKaX1PQnG
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."730Please respect copyright.PENANABv3afIYL9f
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."730Please respect copyright.PENANA8hzmqDVVfQ
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.730Please respect copyright.PENANA4nqwVOUkL1
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.730Please respect copyright.PENANAsAqtobdKFH
"Eww, that pillow 730Please respect copyright.PENANAx2KXRZmRbE
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 730Please respect copyright.PENANA7qd8ezp0E9
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.730Please respect copyright.PENANA8ENQMiQqgU
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.730Please respect copyright.PENANASi01lfMNgj
A few seconds later, we 730Please respect copyright.PENANAOxBUXzgN2D
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 730Please respect copyright.PENANA7ItVgDKPwa
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 730Please respect copyright.PENANAgf73A7qNdC
holding a box of chocolates.730Please respect copyright.PENANAjToseR3m1F
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.730Please respect copyright.PENANAuHYAot9dVM
"Ah, no, the panda is a 730Please respect copyright.PENANApQcix17eAJ
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 730Please respect copyright.PENANAXqr2lPzHtM
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 730Please respect copyright.PENANATRVMaN3mOV
same time.730Please respect copyright.PENANAaXVEMV5fVh
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."730Please respect copyright.PENANANUNMlD3iOc
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.730Please respect copyright.PENANAlaxuJOgwjs
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAuT93oi5NCl
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."730Please respect copyright.PENANA798EU8i8UZ
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.730Please respect copyright.PENANAnpET0QGV1e
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.730Please respect copyright.PENANA6RHe1bNMte
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."730Please respect copyright.PENANAIYrhyOoJMS
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.730Please respect copyright.PENANAeiEJ1BwtsH
"For goodness sake, I 730Please respect copyright.PENANAy5SRnoIkh1
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 730Please respect copyright.PENANAzOXeHvOCbl
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 730Please respect copyright.PENANAUSVRUPtvIk
scared with me."730Please respect copyright.PENANAiBXUzlG3oS
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.730Please respect copyright.PENANANJXFf4nVKe
I took the panda in my 730Please respect copyright.PENANAsPwXoEnGdD
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 730Please respect copyright.PENANAeMNSj6a8DP
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 730Please respect copyright.PENANA5QIUnrE1bs
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 730Please respect copyright.PENANAbDMvVUHINi
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.730Please respect copyright.PENANAiTrQ7dWuH5
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."730Please respect copyright.PENANAAMhYd3DOiv
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."730Please respect copyright.PENANAONlHPH6HfL
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"730Please respect copyright.PENANA745DJnBiL7
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.730Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ2DBhUAxS
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."730Please respect copyright.PENANAcnCbAj0hFh
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I730Please respect copyright.PENANAXL1imglu93
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 730Please respect copyright.PENANAm9cQPFeOCu
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 730Please respect copyright.PENANA3dnq1OFGjS
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."730Please respect copyright.PENANAAsLMif0vaW
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."730Please respect copyright.PENANALIecb22LOU
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."730Please respect copyright.PENANAmbPqdfFHfP
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.730Please respect copyright.PENANArjAjioD3bP
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."730Please respect copyright.PENANAtPq2mSu4IX
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.730Please respect copyright.PENANAjqsrH79X3k
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."730Please respect copyright.PENANAkrFWSRV06v
"Ya, I do."730Please respect copyright.PENANAq2jNpcMzbC
While the four of us 730Please respect copyright.PENANApMf5PT8w9L
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 730Please respect copyright.PENANAdDHio9JmEc
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 730Please respect copyright.PENANAze36UdttDq
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 730Please respect copyright.PENANAlSTthUyORM
said:730Please respect copyright.PENANA4ATwBbpzhe
"Hey, Zoey." 730Please respect copyright.PENANALASUD7KLZg
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAFdlm6fSckH
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."730Please respect copyright.PENANAT6TbsTYzka
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.730Please respect copyright.PENANAqBVfpsQwZj
"It's good you came to 730Please respect copyright.PENANABBuee1t4gb
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 730Please respect copyright.PENANA6d6AqGeRB2
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAvpRConjfJD
couch.730Please respect copyright.PENANAAW5Veu4ZcG
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"730Please respect copyright.PENANAN4ETnT3iXM
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"730Please respect copyright.PENANAQlD3lhJnus
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAaEswzKxFO4
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAFZNpnMUsS0
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.730Please respect copyright.PENANAFIh8tMh4lW
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.730Please respect copyright.PENANAq2QVCxqDKJ
I tugged at my panda's 730Please respect copyright.PENANAJYf55lCIFA
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it730Please respect copyright.PENANA3BQ5IYYsED
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking730Please respect copyright.PENANAySD0QwVJrl
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.730Please respect copyright.PENANAJ58u7O3mO1
The Toxins came back to 730Please respect copyright.PENANAUfnVeeBH2y
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held730Please respect copyright.PENANAk7VM1S9ZKL
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine730Please respect copyright.PENANAh60IVMkc1U
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.730Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xbv3WzFe5
For a moment, no one 730Please respect copyright.PENANAIkvyb8a32u
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 730Please respect copyright.PENANA1MSHfynOkq
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.730Please respect copyright.PENANA7U7Ceg4GMm
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.730Please respect copyright.PENANARSVK8sJb8J
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAyU3fA2VDuA
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.730Please respect copyright.PENANAvlaxaBO2IB
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."730Please respect copyright.PENANAWnePvTB0YX
I stared up at the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAC6kc3WrMyZ
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 730Please respect copyright.PENANAnYfXqQr6bl
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.730Please respect copyright.PENANAPYhAg6oYTQ
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."730Please respect copyright.PENANAzufmB1VGQs
When Zoey tried to reach730Please respect copyright.PENANApAIEIFZOcM
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 730Please respect copyright.PENANAlvdHSCgg9N
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.730Please respect copyright.PENANA1XYPo5uvOk
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.730Please respect copyright.PENANAXrduoWVZKE
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.730Please respect copyright.PENANA7SteFmHEa5
Zoey looked hurt with 730Please respect copyright.PENANAD780Giufth
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 730Please respect copyright.PENANAkwjQG4Kkyj
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.730Please respect copyright.PENANAkzbJnagFwD
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANARor1eQ4ZrW
I didn't answer as I put730Please respect copyright.PENANALw8Wecmgro
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I730Please respect copyright.PENANArPBSazQOxP
was still mad, especially at Zoey.730Please respect copyright.PENANApt64YTbpOX
"I know it's a little 730Please respect copyright.PENANAixY74mFkfd
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 730Please respect copyright.PENANAbVApLppIBl
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 730Please respect copyright.PENANAbjE2pEAMhx
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 730Please respect copyright.PENANAJrOwOXARwf
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAia47h8DrqU
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 730Please respect copyright.PENANAh9lyQqBL1h
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."730Please respect copyright.PENANAEGDfGWt7fV
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.730Please respect copyright.PENANAGdFsh3ndS5
"I don't like it when 730Please respect copyright.PENANA0EziB8ydvC
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 730Please respect copyright.PENANAo6gt6t26vV
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 730Please respect copyright.PENANAHhy0OaTypT
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 730Please respect copyright.PENANAsRq4Qonc1E
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 730Please respect copyright.PENANAIwta7IQFZI
sorry, Sam."730Please respect copyright.PENANAd5jzEWiutD
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."730Please respect copyright.PENANAGjRIKrp4Z7
"I'm sorry too," said 730Please respect copyright.PENANAsR0fEpvQAZ
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 730Please respect copyright.PENANAilXYCBPjGt
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 730Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kb2IuiFyC
for you to talk to us again."730Please respect copyright.PENANApJ9ClccLyH
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 730Please respect copyright.PENANAXIFmZ9gzqM
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 730Please respect copyright.PENANA3jzQEVntlQ
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 730Please respect copyright.PENANA7ON5SRGWnw
leader."730Please respect copyright.PENANAY427toKA20
I still didn't say a 730Please respect copyright.PENANAh96nqATyT2
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 730Please respect copyright.PENANAOxtJ17WbHY
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 730Please respect copyright.PENANAPLLkchBUUA
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 730Please respect copyright.PENANAi00AH1fNF0
them despite the awful things they put me through.730Please respect copyright.PENANAHsz4zRCKTP
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAVoiXLW7gkH
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."730Please respect copyright.PENANAaaQPP2mFBb
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.730Please respect copyright.PENANA6B7URLUBvD
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.730Please respect copyright.PENANA3drMDlWyeX
"I'm mad and pretty much730Please respect copyright.PENANAV1gW4vAhSW
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 730Please respect copyright.PENANAuLJV3pCuhl
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."730Please respect copyright.PENANASyQTBRk6cT
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAYWSSxI3w0o
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."730Please respect copyright.PENANAeuRtytBiqK
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.730Please respect copyright.PENANAvCdKscKyky
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 730Please respect copyright.PENANAAen49cYnnE
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 730Please respect copyright.PENANAic4RmoaPre
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."730Please respect copyright.PENANAjRmxKFjHyI
"Ah, you! Always acting 730Please respect copyright.PENANALEFmjL9b3U
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 730Please respect copyright.PENANA1f0Ml5f5Yg
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 730Please respect copyright.PENANAEHj6o3LK0H
catch it anyway."730Please respect copyright.PENANAziSXgzyMiH
Christine, Daniel and 730Please respect copyright.PENANAiBJ6qbw6YZ
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 730Please respect copyright.PENANA4YlGTg88tm
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 730Please respect copyright.PENANAEXQaiP8dn5
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.730Please respect copyright.PENANAbQcHifsFIv
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.730Please respect copyright.PENANAPlVOT1Lw84
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.730Please respect copyright.PENANAigjod5Rutn
"Ya, I'm glad we did," I said, as I felt my nose twitch. "Can you guys please stop hugging me, I'm about to...."730Please respect copyright.PENANA2yVznaoN4v
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.730Please respect copyright.PENANArihd3hZMiP
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."730Please respect copyright.PENANAmwiTzxnoEp
"Don't worry, you won't 730Please respect copyright.PENANA0jWUqT52xE
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 730Please respect copyright.PENANAFbWk5b19MS
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.730Please respect copyright.PENANArDRY3Oi9Tv
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.730Please respect copyright.PENANAYduQwzrnPR
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.730Please respect copyright.PENANAnXAt9IDcFz
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAfOh1abSvLK
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."730Please respect copyright.PENANAjVadvNhydf
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.730Please respect copyright.PENANAetykTAW7mi
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 730Please respect copyright.PENANASoBw6ZF8m8
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAkQODmj0s47
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."730Please respect copyright.PENANAuTHVRwqvhS
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.730Please respect copyright.PENANAlb6a46I6Dk
At that moment, I had 730Please respect copyright.PENANAiKqLERfYEH
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.730Please respect copyright.PENANATL8khiQJLg
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.730Please respect copyright.PENANAZImGPUzt9r
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAGDPrgBX4WH
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.730Please respect copyright.PENANAfFa4dvQu9Q
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."730Please respect copyright.PENANAdeLnWRPHDb
Zoey got the box of 730Please respect copyright.PENANANhdMVy182a
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 730Please respect copyright.PENANAyEbTeFcMWl
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.730Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gi6X9dJmi
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.730Please respect copyright.PENANA1e6RZnhbg0
I was in the passage as I730Please respect copyright.PENANAurhQM1Lszv
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 730Please respect copyright.PENANAbG8lhO8wxz
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed730Please respect copyright.PENANALbJARTN8oh
in what felt like sadness.730Please respect copyright.PENANAe0gEDRg9ci
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.730Please respect copyright.PENANAmRxkC7JPv1
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."730Please respect copyright.PENANAoSVyXDzi2l
I heard his footsteps 730Please respect copyright.PENANAQPxB3Cl0Ti
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAcVaY9tykGX
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.730Please respect copyright.PENANALN8hcpOOYW
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAlM6XyUXgE3
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAqlFThq3bMV
"Are we really do this right now?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAUNyQRQgxda
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 730Please respect copyright.PENANAxEgdyEVYro
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.730Please respect copyright.PENANA3QV5uWL9ew
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAwOfXa3kdP7
"Nope." 730Please respect copyright.PENANA6BrK7Xm1a7
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."730Please respect copyright.PENANARgFHkHg43Y
My eyes almost felt like730Please respect copyright.PENANAKcx6i07Yzn
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 730Please respect copyright.PENANA6gUnxt8J2F
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.730Please respect copyright.PENANANcOFYbtd1Q
I turned to look at him 730Please respect copyright.PENANArBfn6QSZEN
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 730Please respect copyright.PENANAUJjEU96676
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.730Please respect copyright.PENANA0B5H83cfov
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.730Please respect copyright.PENANANUOaibkGGT
"That you're surrounded 730Please respect copyright.PENANAjcun0zIDw6
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 730Please respect copyright.PENANAWQIfWQUr6D
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 730Please respect copyright.PENANA3iu7jHAodU
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."730Please respect copyright.PENANAHBRB4TV81p
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 730Please respect copyright.PENANAS2KEV7xROv
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."730Please respect copyright.PENANABE8s7JzSQJ
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAnE9pbR3bZj
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."730Please respect copyright.PENANAWky5YuyiCH
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."730Please respect copyright.PENANAdFg2YqwI2N
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAAiqJnZ0Qjz
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."730Please respect copyright.PENANA4owFguPBBl
Apparently, I couldn't 730Please respect copyright.PENANALJtjajS8bq
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 730Please respect copyright.PENANABcrfLbTNXQ
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 730Please respect copyright.PENANAXMGTJDP4CT
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 730Please respect copyright.PENANA4YooDWZbNk
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 730Please respect copyright.PENANACE2nzGBpck
death.730Please respect copyright.PENANAHDm4OUU3gv
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.730Please respect copyright.PENANANe5g90Viqv
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."730Please respect copyright.PENANA5tBop2xVL2
Taeyang folded his arms 730Please respect copyright.PENANAtyO1WofQil
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think730Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ0ql259yO
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."730Please respect copyright.PENANAQAv15fog0V
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.730Please respect copyright.PENANA7up9VxoLsU
"You're may think you're730Please respect copyright.PENANAoIcRWF0GSJ
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 730Please respect copyright.PENANAnaGyIW1QLy
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 730Please respect copyright.PENANA0XCHtBhsvT
but feeling hurt."730Please respect copyright.PENANAk73wCsmG1R
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.730Please respect copyright.PENANACqzjwcRfRu
"But I wouldn't feel 730Please respect copyright.PENANAwABDbCxDo8
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 730Please respect copyright.PENANAhio23kyY7f
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 730Please respect copyright.PENANAWn80YpK3js
at Taeyang.730Please respect copyright.PENANAce1p0xZHfC
Taeyang gave me that 730Please respect copyright.PENANAYZmU4hGdf5
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 730Please respect copyright.PENANAUtHH3J1BxZ
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 730Please respect copyright.PENANADosh5pVNZt
while in return, he nodded.730Please respect copyright.PENANAsEYzGXoAJ4
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAAyVTboMhil
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."730Please respect copyright.PENANAsCOLq8Ii3T
I didn't say a word as I730Please respect copyright.PENANAUms9ZtcUNQ
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my730Please respect copyright.PENANAA0QamAf63n
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 730Please respect copyright.PENANAXLoe3kHTvy
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 730Please respect copyright.PENANAWiYwr7jLg7
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.730Please respect copyright.PENANADtrs9PPISk
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."730Please respect copyright.PENANAmXVJOmyyrB
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."730Please respect copyright.PENANA0WMOX6atVb
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."730Please respect copyright.PENANAo0ioGFFNVH
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAIrVtPN6w44
If there was ever a way I730Please respect copyright.PENANAcKYQCsDH3X
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 730Please respect copyright.PENANAnwlaUwDKki
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 730Please respect copyright.PENANAuiabe7YRdR
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.730Please respect copyright.PENANAqIX3ODRUTD
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAogdXyM7rSl
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAKlK8TV8g8t
When I came out, I still found Taeyang where I had left him and the two of us went to join the others entering the elevator.730Please respect copyright.PENANAOx02Td40g8
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.730Please respect copyright.PENANABcwRNfcHmE
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAE0JtB2xj1a
"Well, I'm just asking,"730Please respect copyright.PENANA5pMp7IFkVy
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,730Please respect copyright.PENANASmkVf3Facp
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."730Please respect copyright.PENANAZSzRj8fNCh
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.730Please respect copyright.PENANAmMC8NfGBhO
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.730Please respect copyright.PENANABpKtO3Oaz6
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.730Please respect copyright.PENANAg636ErZE8S
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.730Please respect copyright.PENANAJM4Wfw4Vor
I pressed the button 730Please respect copyright.PENANAzoUk7hLzkr
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 730Please respect copyright.PENANAWHEOPvlO1j
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 730Please respect copyright.PENANAqUA4eM5lEM
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.730Please respect copyright.PENANAArVGOOFNt3
We went to the main 730Please respect copyright.PENANAAytyiNV214
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for730Please respect copyright.PENANAMyvI7dQo1l
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 730Please respect copyright.PENANABDQlCMIX0l
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.730Please respect copyright.PENANA1FQXwcGvtL
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.730Please respect copyright.PENANADEISQNF91S
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAYExGTupXXr
"To be honest, we just 730Please respect copyright.PENANAREySWLmd2R
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 730Please respect copyright.PENANA1xVawtyMyk
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."730Please respect copyright.PENANAdCQcdfzsnc
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.730Please respect copyright.PENANAEN0XU6N0uV
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.730Please respect copyright.PENANAL8fSC9HmZJ
We all got to the table and before I could pull out my chair, Taeyang pulled the chair out for me and I glady sat.730Please respect copyright.PENANAYTTynqsQWB
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.730Please respect copyright.PENANAk06d8ddioS
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.730Please respect copyright.PENANAe7PMUrShlz
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.730Please respect copyright.PENANAqGjaA84PAb
"Nah, I don't think so,"730Please respect copyright.PENANACNECTTE8eb
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so730Please respect copyright.PENANAV80KUyjrab
he would be treating me like that."730Please respect copyright.PENANAYKA1OQ2Yz8
"Mmm, I don't think so,"730Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qqd2t0ocb
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 730Please respect copyright.PENANAsLoobXTewi
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAmb4UCNSs50
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."730Please respect copyright.PENANAO1s4wQOHDT
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.730Please respect copyright.PENANAZNsirhyrpr
"Then, stop trying to make one."730Please respect copyright.PENANABaim1Xmsl4
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."730Please respect copyright.PENANAh7Cr8Rwi5p
"Ya, me too," said Mike.730Please respect copyright.PENANAKJnFF8Dm8J
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.730Please respect copyright.PENANApRxQnNnxpr
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"730Please respect copyright.PENANApHA49WB9cg
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.730Please respect copyright.PENANA2ttZXcrKZg
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."730Please respect copyright.PENANA1DT5WbDVn0
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANA74Tx29eAlD
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.730Please respect copyright.PENANAwRvMwJGg6n
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."730Please respect copyright.PENANAF7pCOtscXZ
I didn't even dare try 730Please respect copyright.PENANA0aXLDWJ079
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 730Please respect copyright.PENANAZWABdqrvIU
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.730Please respect copyright.PENANAS77LooyyIn
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 730Please respect copyright.PENANABY7hHhFnXr
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"730Please respect copyright.PENANACB6ymF9ctt
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.730Please respect copyright.PENANA288S42jOwE
I heard footsteps coming730Please respect copyright.PENANAyHWcDrRyMY
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 730Please respect copyright.PENANAb3aLYwCWJD
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 730Please respect copyright.PENANAv59ez0aADs
look at me.730Please respect copyright.PENANAgpweYymZ6S
"Are you okay?" he whispered.730Please respect copyright.PENANAMz7j6eBw9p
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.730Please respect copyright.PENANAUpqdYKXqxZ
I soon felt strong hands730Please respect copyright.PENANAs4MCWsB7LR
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD730Please respect copyright.PENANAPm2MgFlsnl
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.730Please respect copyright.PENANAwjlfJlf0Eh
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAvf5XPkLmKH
"I'm a whole lot better,730Please respect copyright.PENANAz9iTZt74ta
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 730Please respect copyright.PENANAnJvsTuNSNb
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.730Please respect copyright.PENANA0T1d6mcr5K
"Glad to hear that."730Please respect copyright.PENANAmDqQc9mvCi
When TOP let go of my shoulders and walked away to take his seat next to Mike, I heard G-Dragon's voice behind me.730Please respect copyright.PENANArCi1K0iEFA
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."730Please respect copyright.PENANAA6XZf7MqZo
I was planning not to 730Please respect copyright.PENANAcD8zpJwWKo
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 730Please respect copyright.PENANAPGe9duHB7X
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 730Please respect copyright.PENANA1DWrmNw7Jr
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to730Please respect copyright.PENANAxWwANCvqPO
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 730Please respect copyright.PENANA9s9rxPQpRm
under the bridge.730Please respect copyright.PENANAGjxMI8FBwf
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."730Please respect copyright.PENANAt6EZTvXL6a
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAdbjB6nDhwZ
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."730Please respect copyright.PENANAx2Q1e7FPFR
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."730Please respect copyright.PENANAqJKKMl6fBB
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.730Please respect copyright.PENANAyMecOOPcgF
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.730Please respect copyright.PENANApvN6R2AhHm
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAvkApjSJJii
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."730Please respect copyright.PENANAsFkSzXCaPy
The waiters soon came 730Please respect copyright.PENANAot9OXj6aSn
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.730Please respect copyright.PENANAUJh95JfBB4
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 730Please respect copyright.PENANAOJCe3SwL2b
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 730Please respect copyright.PENANA2790Csxc8y
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.730Please respect copyright.PENANAbZGD84PTRC
For a moment, I felt 730Please respect copyright.PENANATXv1pg2ecC
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAsLRI9dIPDo
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 730Please respect copyright.PENANAwy0D8Yg3mg
me to forget that I was ever mad.730Please respect copyright.PENANABo4NHIcANv
"Mmm, this is so 730Please respect copyright.PENANAkoDjpsqGZM
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 730Please respect copyright.PENANAGh35LxuPRl
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."730Please respect copyright.PENANA1MCc0ERgMq
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."730Please respect copyright.PENANA5aOuS7yp0w
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."730Please respect copyright.PENANABGHxgdzJwK
"Anything for you, Sam,"730Please respect copyright.PENANAfB6it3ldet
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 730Please respect copyright.PENANAgmoLEWAIFO
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."730Please respect copyright.PENANAu9YGtO3DT1
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAheGuPAA0Na
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.730Please respect copyright.PENANAgrTSOvUdQN
I had just taken in some730Please respect copyright.PENANA4zjyKgC7Xm
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 730Please respect copyright.PENANAZzjJ3kth3k
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly730Please respect copyright.PENANAscA2xF0VwL
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 730Please respect copyright.PENANACmwIv1O2Cm
just said.730Please respect copyright.PENANAKRdkw8BI7a
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAYjdE19QIFh
"Well, ya," Christine 730Please respect copyright.PENANA7JTDZZqXXg
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 730Please respect copyright.PENANAEnMC7BmIVC
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 730Please respect copyright.PENANAyRAfWjNymn
special lunch to lighten your mood."730Please respect copyright.PENANA2RCsqadeXK
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.730Please respect copyright.PENANAmeuxO4g8oc
"Thanks for the lunch, 730Please respect copyright.PENANAs7jI3lAJFq
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so730Please respect copyright.PENANACikJTk819c
sweet of you to have come up with this."730Please respect copyright.PENANAYlhjzyTB6R
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.730Please respect copyright.PENANAyC6dbqqtAA
I almost felt like 730Please respect copyright.PENANA5lYJYlKlwY
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 730Please respect copyright.PENANActU2mpzRV0
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare730Please respect copyright.PENANAmtzB0NzGLb
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 730Please respect copyright.PENANA1emKFuLPqo
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 730Please respect copyright.PENANAW17cCzCFl9
turning into rage?730Please respect copyright.PENANAqkXE3al14q
Oh, goodness. I needed 730Please respect copyright.PENANADZspTXC4Nf
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 730Please respect copyright.PENANAk6QQEgbTuI
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 730Please respect copyright.PENANADDKuQHJ6qU
I tried to push aside 730Please respect copyright.PENANAHupmQU2DN8
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 730Please respect copyright.PENANAyxPj6oyikH
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 730Please respect copyright.PENANAnZvBvAD10n
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 730Please respect copyright.PENANACVJSYScYGb
chocolate moussé.730Please respect copyright.PENANAYjh2Xafg58
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,730Please respect copyright.PENANAOix8Vpbbul
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 730Please respect copyright.PENANAaVPTG6PAGr
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.730Please respect copyright.PENANAMCb6TxsPr5
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.730Please respect copyright.PENANAHgek1FtfJN
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."730Please respect copyright.PENANA5a9H7Mk33M
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.730Please respect copyright.PENANAfq8af2dOZX
I didn't wait for 730Please respect copyright.PENANAU5LF1AggHH
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I730Please respect copyright.PENANAUD2n1OXzG3
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed730Please respect copyright.PENANAM0SWcKC6Ny
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 730Please respect copyright.PENANArWSQdQqVgD
heaven.730Please respect copyright.PENANAx3366VicXi
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.730Please respect copyright.PENANAFlMfNVvo4W
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."730Please respect copyright.PENANA3TdzVTkLde
"I don't care," I said 730Please respect copyright.PENANATAMTUeaQPi
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 730Please respect copyright.PENANAriufIDgFOx
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."730Please respect copyright.PENANAhyVkiBivT3
G-Dragon smiled back at 730Please respect copyright.PENANAyGiRp9RO7I
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 730Please respect copyright.PENANA4qVkzD1FT0
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 730Please respect copyright.PENANAgKZOg0zM45
away.730Please respect copyright.PENANA50gP1FxlgA
After dessert, we all 730Please respect copyright.PENANAd69pS2NpiW
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 730Please respect copyright.PENANAlKxIrtJCig
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 730Please respect copyright.PENANAutKar3u7ni
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 730Please respect copyright.PENANA44B3FqxL7Z
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 730Please respect copyright.PENANA54rNwySGgr
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 730Please respect copyright.PENANAjYpftACItP
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.730Please respect copyright.PENANApehpCZJ82s
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAE8rGPqIP5K
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.730Please respect copyright.PENANAB9oahfRYiy
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."730Please respect copyright.PENANAxmmCYDqUYi
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.730Please respect copyright.PENANA2PXkEHDBuY
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."730Please respect copyright.PENANAtQqjyoQEHT
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."730Please respect copyright.PENANA8SDxVLpFyB
"What stuff?" TOP asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANA1bTji7Qm1Z
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"730Please respect copyright.PENANA7L2arPHw5R
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."730Please respect copyright.PENANAUGFTfnFFn5
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.730Please respect copyright.PENANAUBVDImuZtm
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.730Please respect copyright.PENANA1BPn2XydOT
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.730Please respect copyright.PENANA60mlezIxb6
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.730Please respect copyright.PENANAZcQBZZ5wvq
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."730Please respect copyright.PENANAYCmAx1Ztgp
"Wait, what's going on?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAdr7WlyAtmM
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAOWCsqDyoMT
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAFZM7cUphqn
"I thought we should all730Please respect copyright.PENANATvGt5bqDW0
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 730Please respect copyright.PENANAbzNGCWuQ15
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."730Please respect copyright.PENANAa4xblDlc5y
"But why do we have to put our heads together if there is you and G-Dragon who are better at song writing?" TOP asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAK8NcL8uRmv
"I don't know, I feel we730Please respect copyright.PENANADnQ7A0bZm1
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.730Please respect copyright.PENANAWsxnI7R5Ny
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out730Please respect copyright.PENANAdQd7WkV3RU
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."730Please respect copyright.PENANAVTPDq6MBrE
"I don't get it though,"730Please respect copyright.PENANAkqjCnenP2v
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 730Please respect copyright.PENANAH4RrIuN3NF
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write730Please respect copyright.PENANATIj46gboI5
the lyrics?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAGcQ3xXcOfq
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.730Please respect copyright.PENANAOz8nQ2YBR6
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAw8fuBLgMui
This time, I also raised730Please respect copyright.PENANAy03ppV2Xb3
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 730Please respect copyright.PENANADRDPVA0leb
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.730Please respect copyright.PENANA5JcAdEbt7Q
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAWSmp0UBVlt
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.730Please respect copyright.PENANAMaOQNdqUyp
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.730Please respect copyright.PENANAgXgPHhSi2L
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANA608jS9cUvj
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."730Please respect copyright.PENANAp3ZEngtlVq
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"730Please respect copyright.PENANARXGLEsEfwr
By the way G-Dragon 730Please respect copyright.PENANA159MzTh2Df
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 730Please respect copyright.PENANAvGU7vSCWaQ
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And730Please respect copyright.PENANANy5frTBTs7
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of730Please respect copyright.PENANAV09DXGDrOd
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.730Please respect copyright.PENANADu93AEXU6I
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."730Please respect copyright.PENANAcTtfHVbGM3
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAfs56rGaZB0
"Maybe, it's because you're objecting to my idea and you just want to make up what would be a valid reason for it."730Please respect copyright.PENANAaLmdk0f5kY
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.730Please respect copyright.PENANAgvhTycdj9u
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 730Please respect copyright.PENANAfboCuktjnd
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.730Please respect copyright.PENANAmQW93Ty6d1
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."730Please respect copyright.PENANAX6knIQVPzN
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."730Please respect copyright.PENANAbSrAcagbcB
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."730Please respect copyright.PENANAbuu7r1lYav
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."730Please respect copyright.PENANAlGeSNtfnjL
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."730Please respect copyright.PENANAK0L8q2EHpy
"What truth?" I asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAccvs17hDap
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."730Please respect copyright.PENANAIiONQPtiAm
Taeyang was right. I was730Please respect copyright.PENANABHP7PgqJai
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 730Please respect copyright.PENANAzoyjJta7Zk
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 730Please respect copyright.PENANA6tIAW2TMXq
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 730Please respect copyright.PENANAhXy12s3crX
attention.730Please respect copyright.PENANAljPvMeMNKy
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."730Please respect copyright.PENANAB0GUzofDLG
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."730Please respect copyright.PENANAvwgLYYHxSQ
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel730Please respect copyright.PENANAT6lhHbEwZv
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 730Please respect copyright.PENANAsFhr6lBTv9
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!730Please respect copyright.PENANAdlwZwEMVg7
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.730Please respect copyright.PENANA71TAFwoZe4
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.730Please respect copyright.PENANAUdTl6Cdz4M
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.730Please respect copyright.PENANAdcWidyr4TK
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.730Please respect copyright.PENANAf0IhuiplMr
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.730Please respect copyright.PENANAEYnNTg6IX1
"But I....." 730Please respect copyright.PENANAOx1rOlXuZM
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 730Please respect copyright.PENANAhk06QpsN0K
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've730Please respect copyright.PENANATiNo2SjG2e
talked way too much, don't you think?"730Please respect copyright.PENANAho7CYNBJa4
That felt like a slap in730Please respect copyright.PENANAt1AP2S4Bez
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 730Please respect copyright.PENANASMKve4Gb8y
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 730Please respect copyright.PENANAQ28QHiucMO
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 730Please respect copyright.PENANAV3KCLMgheo
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 730Please respect copyright.PENANA1VBkhgtChr
about what I thought was best for the whole group?730Please respect copyright.PENANAZJlSfbwTYF
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.730Please respect copyright.PENANAcw9I3zemAU
"That's fine with me," said Mike.730Please respect copyright.PENANAK6JRGGiJbk
Everyone else agreed, 730Please respect copyright.PENANA3RqRLfw8RH
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 730Please respect copyright.PENANACXWSC1RWxt
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 730Please respect copyright.PENANAjUsE39fWI4
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 730Please respect copyright.PENANArnp7iM67VU
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 730Please respect copyright.PENANAM9tF9iRE4x
B, just in case.730Please respect copyright.PENANASHnXlAGjm7
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.730Please respect copyright.PENANARMkC3vr09k
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.730Please respect copyright.PENANAszZUJA2yq5
"Not now, Sam. We will 730Please respect copyright.PENANAktQTPt5KYZ
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 730Please respect copyright.PENANA56t8liLw7C
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 730Please respect copyright.PENANASUSzsojBEK
gave me goosebumps.730Please respect copyright.PENANAqMXCoPyz9x
"Way to go, Sam," said Zoey, as she also stood up from the table. "You just made him upset. I need to go calm him down."730Please respect copyright.PENANAs0TrN3Sd7L
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 730Please respect copyright.PENANApPnSaLpivT
One by one everyone 730Please respect copyright.PENANAgfXWLOMa02
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 730Please respect copyright.PENANApKErVhN6k5
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem730Please respect copyright.PENANAEPUMu4szns
appropriate.730Please respect copyright.PENANArHM7nHFrL9
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.730Please respect copyright.PENANAFig5MGkZgH
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.730Please respect copyright.PENANAwOugE6XNOY
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.730Please respect copyright.PENANAe33orxKtt6
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.730Please respect copyright.PENANANeEQA27iWV
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."730Please respect copyright.PENANAiOvJKtEQcR
"It's not that. I pissed730Please respect copyright.PENANAffDI64CZXO
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take730Please respect copyright.PENANAgosAJq62Ic
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."730Please respect copyright.PENANAKmBqFp7lpO
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."730Please respect copyright.PENANAx0iF9NqJH5
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."730Please respect copyright.PENANAxLDMo6YdGN
Taeyang placed his hand 730Please respect copyright.PENANA8OIr4sfJCp
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He730Please respect copyright.PENANAzMPDjWClkn
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.730Please respect copyright.PENANA2qcGzIvbEq
I knew I had to hope for730Please respect copyright.PENANAbVscVDmumS
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut730Please respect copyright.PENANAuW7MRCF2xa
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 730Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z01AfaJSF
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 730Please respect copyright.PENANApnaApan3lR
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 730Please respect copyright.PENANAxsyvHzZgXa
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
