The water felt like a 731Please respect copyright.PENANABWVr9TZUO0
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 731Please respect copyright.PENANA8mmEidrEyM
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 731Please respect copyright.PENANAIaxQ2q4lv9
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 731Please respect copyright.PENANAEKVoIb1HR1
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 731Please respect copyright.PENANAOpsiNatxZW
breathe. 731Please respect copyright.PENANApzkC6SkiXE
I pushed myself upwards 731Please respect copyright.PENANA0NKlnNskgR
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of731Please respect copyright.PENANA5t0aM1Ajgk
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 731Please respect copyright.PENANAIOVIHBe4R6
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 731Please respect copyright.PENANAb0PkmWa6NO
edge.731Please respect copyright.PENANAqODlMfxAnb
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.731Please respect copyright.PENANAqDrrK2X6eK
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.731Please respect copyright.PENANA34fbFqjA13
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.731Please respect copyright.PENANA11najs5s3A
I looked ridiculously 731Please respect copyright.PENANArI1k4UKS3m
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 731Please respect copyright.PENANAXHkDCMQa7e
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 731Please respect copyright.PENANACdrRNRVbxT
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 731Please respect copyright.PENANAf6R2WUspsX
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 731Please respect copyright.PENANAvEMDL0Hu2v
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.731Please respect copyright.PENANAjrHy59q9Aq
I looked around me and 731Please respect copyright.PENANAp1IEO0vIOA
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 731Please respect copyright.PENANAlCMS17ea1d
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 731Please respect copyright.PENANAUA8yGO1eaF
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 731Please respect copyright.PENANAXNreCl4QCG
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.731Please respect copyright.PENANAc8Gq4awLgb
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."731Please respect copyright.PENANAZiBEGloxt4
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."731Please respect copyright.PENANABDweVAtqBb
I heard Zoey and the 731Please respect copyright.PENANARFJNseo8Ti
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on731Please respect copyright.PENANAXli8dyAA9u
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.731Please respect copyright.PENANAt0VfW2YU5c
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAeXx1cDWBqI
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's731Please respect copyright.PENANABme7tHRPlg
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 731Please respect copyright.PENANANVy9a6WoUk
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."731Please respect copyright.PENANApWTxCzQhvw
"I already told you, I'm731Please respect copyright.PENANAZR7qcBDA07
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I731Please respect copyright.PENANAF4SRMUyVYI
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 731Please respect copyright.PENANAbhkszfXWuo
from anyone.731Please respect copyright.PENANA6OHId8hsSz
I made my way towards GD731Please respect copyright.PENANAyNXKCAzvxz
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what731Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8dNEb5GHm
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 731Please respect copyright.PENANAXlszzP4jIJ
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.731Please respect copyright.PENANAIUCe9gJaZy
"Oh, man, Sam," said 731Please respect copyright.PENANAbWh7ifCLg5
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 731Please respect copyright.PENANA6EpUDgrRXj
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 731Please respect copyright.PENANAbBnGVgg5sW
game. Hope you didn't mind."731Please respect copyright.PENANAy2isOpyeIZ
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."731Please respect copyright.PENANADkRRS5z9QS
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."731Please respect copyright.PENANAsxE6GbhD6e
"I told you, our 731Please respect copyright.PENANAmSutO0QKp8
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 731Please respect copyright.PENANA7F0ROD7MiV
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 731Please respect copyright.PENANAH0V45NDcJ7
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 731Please respect copyright.PENANASwGCDwdGDJ
Daesung.731Please respect copyright.PENANAdyvIy4qrxS
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.731Please respect copyright.PENANAt6l180WOvV
I dialled Lee's number 731Please respect copyright.PENANAKRWJxqmfwC
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 731Please respect copyright.PENANAi12JkxVOOh
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAJhBNFknmGO
They would know soon enough.731Please respect copyright.PENANAJKbf3F1Slo
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.731Please respect copyright.PENANA04WnjuD8Kv
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.731Please respect copyright.PENANATzrIdndkoN
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAAL34623iK3
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"731Please respect copyright.PENANA3LnsN3hyeO
"No, not yet. But you 731Please respect copyright.PENANAKiHa6iQ5di
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And731Please respect copyright.PENANAB9PXtafNgg
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."731Please respect copyright.PENANA7uAWffZdKU
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."731Please respect copyright.PENANAsG494N9GEU
"Okay, I'll be waiting."731Please respect copyright.PENANAs1slDZ5h5o
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.731Please respect copyright.PENANAy4jCVk75MT
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAhZEMy0fhQS
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."731Please respect copyright.PENANA5PV6wRG25q
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAeWUmqRCsZI
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."731Please respect copyright.PENANAH2wdBXbj6x
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.731Please respect copyright.PENANADYPUtcocD8
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."731Please respect copyright.PENANASaQ9VOALQS
I shook my head. I was 731Please respect copyright.PENANAqZZRWjapGX
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 731Please respect copyright.PENANA5sW6EVfECC
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 731Please respect copyright.PENANAoOlENUM0rH
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.731Please respect copyright.PENANArmGA9zf7qY
After walking a few feet731Please respect copyright.PENANAltufFt7tfV
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 731Please respect copyright.PENANA2iHTMwXJMh
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was731Please respect copyright.PENANABZH8JOpz2G
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 731Please respect copyright.PENANAqzQZySHsQo
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.731Please respect copyright.PENANASDzuBOSN8B
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAImH8ubWRJx
None of them answered as731Please respect copyright.PENANA1mM0iGywNp
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 731Please respect copyright.PENANA3nJPiy9vPf
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 731Please respect copyright.PENANAhvauvQE2nx
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.731Please respect copyright.PENANA9hYJ6xvVAK
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.731Please respect copyright.PENANAlktXsnTCVo
"I wasn't going to say 731Please respect copyright.PENANA5qCwUqcHZa
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing731Please respect copyright.PENANA7mAdDzKzJR
you would want to hear from me is advice."731Please respect copyright.PENANAmeaS7jr2tD
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAzYRV5fkMgs
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.731Please respect copyright.PENANADY7ikH7Afq
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."731Please respect copyright.PENANAW6WXAiBlDV
"I'm still upset, though."731Please respect copyright.PENANAEAFdSFu0O7
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."731Please respect copyright.PENANABTLExOcn5v
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."731Please respect copyright.PENANAoqPk7aEBtm
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."731Please respect copyright.PENANAv8rFP8qgR4
I gave TOP an assuring 731Please respect copyright.PENANALkZZNNacsB
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way731Please respect copyright.PENANAURT9IuH29h
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 731Please respect copyright.PENANAGuOwg5SbE7
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I731Please respect copyright.PENANADn7mbHLBL3
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't731Please respect copyright.PENANAEM2VOwNDIb
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 731Please respect copyright.PENANAgcXk9iFT8W
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.731Please respect copyright.PENANAN0OnkLXQdl
We all found ourselves 731Please respect copyright.PENANAERB7kLlhM8
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins731Please respect copyright.PENANAfwA3WLNGuU
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 731Please respect copyright.PENANARm6mqJ0gUM
were waiting for me. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAam5bXqN5DO
"Hey, Sam, you don't 731Please respect copyright.PENANAqVcTDkoUCD
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 731Please respect copyright.PENANAclSbEvcB31
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.731Please respect copyright.PENANAGQgNKioKLx
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."731Please respect copyright.PENANAqcVKA2mXhN
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 731Please respect copyright.PENANA8awCIfGJMA
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 731Please respect copyright.PENANAL3a7Qshfv7
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch731Please respect copyright.PENANAmBAR12dgFR
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 731Please respect copyright.PENANANQQJalQj9O
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.731Please respect copyright.PENANAD8xAYszxkt
I had my eyes closed 731Please respect copyright.PENANAcwGElt7ZFq
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found731Please respect copyright.PENANAVqqzdV4jDE
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.731Please respect copyright.PENANAOR5canjydM
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."731Please respect copyright.PENANAAY2ekiVzTn
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.731Please respect copyright.PENANASttu8YEcDN
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."731Please respect copyright.PENANAcMuy16n29z
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."731Please respect copyright.PENANACSW3UGOsFG
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."731Please respect copyright.PENANAzQucWQbOTK
Taeyang led me to his 731Please respect copyright.PENANAjXEvsm63rS
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 731Please respect copyright.PENANABVWxUGdO26
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 731Please respect copyright.PENANATi8oyA8Bc1
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.731Please respect copyright.PENANARqYIe0IKci
In about thirty minutes,731Please respect copyright.PENANAHwxqFgFh44
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 731Please respect copyright.PENANAEeOKApJk0F
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 731Please respect copyright.PENANAO06OZMlJHC
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 731Please respect copyright.PENANA5NzKnycu4u
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 731Please respect copyright.PENANA3O4vsSD5LJ
appeared out of the elevator.731Please respect copyright.PENANAvBioxchhaY
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"731Please respect copyright.PENANABndewf9tW5
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.731Please respect copyright.PENANATa8DqYeTeW
Lee who stood behind 731Please respect copyright.PENANAZEtxQfPcAU
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 731Please respect copyright.PENANAqkCFQK9rTn
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 731Please respect copyright.PENANAVSkyAHLOAz
other things in mind.731Please respect copyright.PENANAzC6tU7rNuF
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAWd6mOWxkhp
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 731Please respect copyright.PENANAxdElfC88nz
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 731Please respect copyright.PENANAdGuUeljcqw
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.731Please respect copyright.PENANAX5j1T9X3P6
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAAQn6geprsU
"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."731Please respect copyright.PENANAReOjatbeRB
There was an awkward 731Please respect copyright.PENANACeuTsTdjDM
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,731Please respect copyright.PENANA2fDQbKL7iJ
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.731Please respect copyright.PENANAQe8rbayECa
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAjAZMlqswQV
"Well, I hear the press 731Please respect copyright.PENANA4iBuQN292D
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon731Please respect copyright.PENANASNqIUFlqAS
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."731Please respect copyright.PENANAkj8yWqD0Wf
"That won't be 731Please respect copyright.PENANASTDyAoUf2y
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 731Please respect copyright.PENANAFHaRNwC4ub
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to731Please respect copyright.PENANALbQDRYnhY6
go to the press looking all wet."731Please respect copyright.PENANAHGxqO5DtpV
I breathed out a sigh of731Please respect copyright.PENANAY5Ls7vRMiX
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 731Please respect copyright.PENANAs6xNNfGpwU
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.731Please respect copyright.PENANAnowhF7zIZh
"In the meantime, you go731Please respect copyright.PENANAuuRmjmf55Z
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 731Please respect copyright.PENANAqihztelHzh
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."731Please respect copyright.PENANAuviGTypVzn
I nodded my head in 731Please respect copyright.PENANA0gLWkklo0S
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 731Please respect copyright.PENANAMOGXefxzaB
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.731Please respect copyright.PENANAIH2jUDJUyX
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.731Please respect copyright.PENANAOXE2IMUrTQ
"Alright," I said 731Please respect copyright.PENANARQp2mmuiDo
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 731Please respect copyright.PENANA7C9L8EmyC5
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like731Please respect copyright.PENANALU0wS8zgMM
I was only making things worse.731Please respect copyright.PENANAjUQ4p35GTm
Before I turned to leave731Please respect copyright.PENANARf7jNEoWLC
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 731Please respect copyright.PENANAl88glnMu45
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 731Please respect copyright.PENANABd5mL35kf1
one.731Please respect copyright.PENANAUW4CKyB4wJ
***731Please respect copyright.PENANAhcjBTzTVJR
I sat on the couch all 731Please respect copyright.PENANAsZy4j8SjmJ
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued731Please respect copyright.PENANAH5Zq77zxei
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"731Please respect copyright.PENANA0yXmKnqCUp
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAxy7TW9Il84
I had a box of paper 731Please respect copyright.PENANA972NDVMboS
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my731Please respect copyright.PENANA8eXP87T0XC
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 731Please respect copyright.PENANAOMw6aIZAKF
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.731Please respect copyright.PENANAB7Gf2tE8iw
I continued watching the731Please respect copyright.PENANAkwKxT1iHwP
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 731Please respect copyright.PENANAMAyTM8N14o
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.731Please respect copyright.PENANAIdZaXS2GSA
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.731Please respect copyright.PENANAW7pCAGUQUu
"Never better," I said, 731Please respect copyright.PENANA2DKBhqDuxq
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 731Please respect copyright.PENANAbQVFednONn
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."731Please respect copyright.PENANAWmjlbw2BJS
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.731Please respect copyright.PENANAhNlU6lhxhJ
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.731Please respect copyright.PENANAV72NNuWM5h
"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.731Please respect copyright.PENANAUcSiMOKP1Y
"And the others?" 731Please respect copyright.PENANArCCLAd1SvP
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.731Please respect copyright.PENANAqbT93l1CYS
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.731Please respect copyright.PENANAufeMJRauiF
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAwxZZRUbiQy
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.731Please respect copyright.PENANANfXjDedMc4
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.731Please respect copyright.PENANAAXbft0kcAs
"You don't know or you are?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAs01Vl3wNki
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.731Please respect copyright.PENANAlxUhAbdJE6
"I don't know, Tae," I 731Please respect copyright.PENANAl311LsNnaG
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 731Please respect copyright.PENANAzk7nfHw2pB
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 731Please respect copyright.PENANA7GAIjl0FLq
forget all that happened yesterday."731Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hf6fYDvpN
"Ya, I understand. They 731Please respect copyright.PENANA5ztbH9F3vb
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 731Please respect copyright.PENANA75JAxHLgTc
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were731Please respect copyright.PENANADo5tVjcaja
going to get."731Please respect copyright.PENANABWmTHgfllg
I looked on at Taeyang 731Please respect copyright.PENANAtkOuolzV4O
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 731Please respect copyright.PENANAz3ExuYfhrS
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 731Please respect copyright.PENANABXzk6YtGzg
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 731Please respect copyright.PENANAKZMpcc2M2M
who was as tough as nails.731Please respect copyright.PENANADcHdAebrtm
Last night, I took the 731Please respect copyright.PENANAsvVhsl3W03
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 731Please respect copyright.PENANAXt2NzdRvjj
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 731Please respect copyright.PENANAqShMQvaeJl
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 731Please respect copyright.PENANASSTnpbGNvk
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 731Please respect copyright.PENANANejgB0RBx0
Apparently, the managers731Please respect copyright.PENANAegKCCTL6fg
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 731Please respect copyright.PENANAV5QuLqQxWZ
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought731Please respect copyright.PENANAPqYfW5neZ4
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 731Please respect copyright.PENANAow2UjsVGUR
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 731Please respect copyright.PENANAUsdiAw08N0
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 731Please respect copyright.PENANAhU2HRY4hrY
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 731Please respect copyright.PENANA4TeSU57JCv
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 731Please respect copyright.PENANATRSsFApqvl
and the reporters.731Please respect copyright.PENANA60ChQ1Rthf
After my confrontation 731Please respect copyright.PENANA0lrPqzfPRh
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I731Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q84PyzJMN
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,731Please respect copyright.PENANAIptfvn5dPx
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.731Please respect copyright.PENANAzjO8aSAvPV
"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."731Please respect copyright.PENANAks6lobmYXK
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.731Please respect copyright.PENANAMPi4d3eeSj
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."731Please respect copyright.PENANAtStLkLDKWy
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."731Please respect copyright.PENANAxPpKyVeVgv
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."731Please respect copyright.PENANAP1tdr49wn0
"Have you tried talking to GD?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAKCeljkj6QF
"To be honest, I haven't731Please respect copyright.PENANA0JVf8jFGD7
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 731Please respect copyright.PENANAwBJOdurtRu
slap him in the face if I see him."731Please respect copyright.PENANAu0wMsvQfcj
"I don't doubt that."731Please respect copyright.PENANA4qBSELWQaR
"And thank goodness my 731Please respect copyright.PENANAvVuZhp4USw
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 731Please respect copyright.PENANAR2rW691XkD
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I731Please respect copyright.PENANAnL7Nc6Nllo
want to do is watch some TV."731Please respect copyright.PENANAPHT6WFerAD
I quickly drank my 731Please respect copyright.PENANAwqOxmA6RW1
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 731Please respect copyright.PENANAgPPe0z1a86
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 731Please respect copyright.PENANAoS7ILie00L
to.731Please respect copyright.PENANAmib5GoqeGW
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.731Please respect copyright.PENANAzNprGp2wcA
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.731Please respect copyright.PENANAbRBgtugThC
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAfcBuaDE3Q3
"Nope."731Please respect copyright.PENANATVhceVMbOB
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.731Please respect copyright.PENANAf26fFmeejc
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANA7nV3qmAvY7
Taeyang didn't say 731Please respect copyright.PENANAfxkReDa3pf
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened731Please respect copyright.PENANA7GzVSj2zc0
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."731Please respect copyright.PENANAmHwi1gg7gN
"I know you fought or 731Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ykv1VdsOf
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 731Please respect copyright.PENANA9goSllMlVD
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."731Please respect copyright.PENANAUUcY6oGg5Q
I noticed Taeyang smile 731Please respect copyright.PENANAcBVz33fPX2
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 731Please respect copyright.PENANAFjdKClj7lH
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 731Please respect copyright.PENANAym6N2IFhkR
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.731Please respect copyright.PENANA91uayudngN
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.731Please respect copyright.PENANAIiolgw5Glt
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."731Please respect copyright.PENANAa54hzQ3XAQ
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?731Please respect copyright.PENANAKaIpGkYp02
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.731Please respect copyright.PENANAw43upiRUvO
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."731Please respect copyright.PENANARXDIU4ZaDs
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."731Please respect copyright.PENANAKvWzmJAwh4
Before I could finish my731Please respect copyright.PENANA6XT3CWR1Gd
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 731Please respect copyright.PENANASZqTA5nCtY
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.731Please respect copyright.PENANAMsa4XICxeR
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.731Please respect copyright.PENANA089T13T9zR
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.731Please respect copyright.PENANAz7tzvwchvT
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."731Please respect copyright.PENANAGUp0pnl4Pr
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."731Please respect copyright.PENANApNCZFtqkRm
"Yep, cheers to that." 731Please respect copyright.PENANAUqgio59pTK
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANA31fuNdoAdF
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.731Please respect copyright.PENANA6oqCb4ZZ9j
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAoKVAQdzBEY
"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."731Please respect copyright.PENANA6t2PQ5gCOJ
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."731Please respect copyright.PENANArMrzzLawAP
"Wow, that sounds personal."731Please respect copyright.PENANAEBu6448MK6
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."731Please respect copyright.PENANAWP2xPhSVL8
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"731Please respect copyright.PENANA8VTCRcEhG8
"I think I've a better 731Please respect copyright.PENANAxhJFU54Dim
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 731Please respect copyright.PENANA9KJmNVVaSv
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 731Please respect copyright.PENANAb0azaaW1CT
lyrics. It's better that way."731Please respect copyright.PENANAy5a1F1MxE7
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAEw1uGIRNRq
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."731Please respect copyright.PENANAtTsbU8VEGB
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."731Please respect copyright.PENANAtzV0wJluTA
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."731Please respect copyright.PENANADkyB5Mbmpu
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."731Please respect copyright.PENANAYJyQAEaS06
"Haha, good point."731Please respect copyright.PENANA6E6VvKaqb5
Taeyang and I continued 731Please respect copyright.PENANAedleYI9plJ
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 731Please respect copyright.PENANAigBOBECxzq
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 731Please respect copyright.PENANAos5OcqTv8V
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we731Please respect copyright.PENANA74W4noYqnr
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 731Please respect copyright.PENANAJD5e4VPJbm
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 731Please respect copyright.PENANAkg4Bb4J2kd
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 731Please respect copyright.PENANA37CdKW7E9Z
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 731Please respect copyright.PENANApGvnQOola6
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.731Please respect copyright.PENANA4eJdLPZjDP
While the two of us were731Please respect copyright.PENANAIUJBobqFe4
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,731Please respect copyright.PENANAFKZf7pQ3rp
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAjk9s0ydLDk
I quickly went over to 731Please respect copyright.PENANAqVm0eeGe47
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was731Please respect copyright.PENANAcLdxNeunlp
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung731Please respect copyright.PENANAb60w3M6UH6
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could731Please respect copyright.PENANARFVUzcZoVA
come up and I put the receiver down.731Please respect copyright.PENANAqgcNv05CGz
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."731Please respect copyright.PENANAZA4o2uE3xA
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."731Please respect copyright.PENANA3cHdkmTeN7
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."731Please respect copyright.PENANAckI7Vnl33v
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.731Please respect copyright.PENANADKoZhO0ZQq
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.731Please respect copyright.PENANAd2O0ucz2fz
"Eww, that pillow 731Please respect copyright.PENANARV2l7nKuBi
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 731Please respect copyright.PENANA5ejGznBfKT
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.731Please respect copyright.PENANABjiAS4D4bs
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.731Please respect copyright.PENANAq9995RfbYP
A few seconds later, we 731Please respect copyright.PENANAngW7qjKo1X
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 731Please respect copyright.PENANAnC7Ws07jZy
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 731Please respect copyright.PENANA6Il1EbqsWh
holding a box of chocolates.731Please respect copyright.PENANA7WrvHDSLlW
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.731Please respect copyright.PENANA815b7Fb2v9
"Ah, no, the panda is a 731Please respect copyright.PENANArASdwzQXyv
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 731Please respect copyright.PENANAi9aYDHI49Q
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 731Please respect copyright.PENANATdwPPu3x3a
same time.731Please respect copyright.PENANA0XV13EZBTs
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."731Please respect copyright.PENANAG5IXVhoI2k
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.731Please respect copyright.PENANAotgSXRJ6Z2
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAclzrznpvxB
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."731Please respect copyright.PENANAsWUdd2eFEU
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.731Please respect copyright.PENANA4emcdOJj3V
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.731Please respect copyright.PENANAmlZXVMShwe
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."731Please respect copyright.PENANA8RZXZppvmy
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.731Please respect copyright.PENANAgExFmhgphV
"For goodness sake, I 731Please respect copyright.PENANAFrjIUJPbuB
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 731Please respect copyright.PENANAQVQp4Bp7zB
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 731Please respect copyright.PENANAb3a6GdJp0f
scared with me."731Please respect copyright.PENANAA7q6XrZaCN
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.731Please respect copyright.PENANAMcIMwlZL65
I took the panda in my 731Please respect copyright.PENANACJrQNd6yB5
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 731Please respect copyright.PENANAIVebCcO867
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 731Please respect copyright.PENANAZHWo8azjqK
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 731Please respect copyright.PENANAfIORjdyLLY
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.731Please respect copyright.PENANAwivqOWudRZ
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."731Please respect copyright.PENANAjfVqto73NO
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."731Please respect copyright.PENANAsigiOTWIJ1
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAaSBLc3ozcC
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.731Please respect copyright.PENANAfC9SKa9ypw
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."731Please respect copyright.PENANABrpdKfHsBU
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I731Please respect copyright.PENANALwHkEoYxFR
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 731Please respect copyright.PENANAEIjngvvxWq
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 731Please respect copyright.PENANAouDjm6Aewe
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."731Please respect copyright.PENANAbzWluLnkFM
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."731Please respect copyright.PENANAKDdsRmU45n
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."731Please respect copyright.PENANAP3cNyFUtJL
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.731Please respect copyright.PENANAmDwzfHPmmT
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."731Please respect copyright.PENANAyKl9bdeWmc
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.731Please respect copyright.PENANAT8hWfryEoX
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."731Please respect copyright.PENANAkIpuglhflp
"Ya, I do."731Please respect copyright.PENANA8HmowE7JC8
While the four of us 731Please respect copyright.PENANAB1G3jaCLqI
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 731Please respect copyright.PENANAmCtohMlXqL
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 731Please respect copyright.PENANACeLkmHGRPu
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 731Please respect copyright.PENANAFBn12QOZQm
said:731Please respect copyright.PENANA9MIfZy1i1b
"Hey, Zoey." 731Please respect copyright.PENANAN8pGy84YfC
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 731Please respect copyright.PENANA4z0D6BKPJj
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."731Please respect copyright.PENANAcw25eExzRi
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.731Please respect copyright.PENANAcxMYtfvnFP
"It's good you came to 731Please respect copyright.PENANA9R7RxQWjvS
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 731Please respect copyright.PENANAtvX8x210p8
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 731Please respect copyright.PENANAAybJHiaquV
couch.731Please respect copyright.PENANA3L2nlosjYB
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"731Please respect copyright.PENANAGB5uqNXIzD
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"731Please respect copyright.PENANAzkwwmAdRzr
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAjIrwUC1cSt
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAWdcHEshfTd
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.731Please respect copyright.PENANAXUKKfVP8yM
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.731Please respect copyright.PENANAcowwx1m1kQ
I tugged at my panda's 731Please respect copyright.PENANA3P1TMdbcq9
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it731Please respect copyright.PENANAoh8JmXdllV
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking731Please respect copyright.PENANAau1LPhDw7z
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.731Please respect copyright.PENANAM5tT874rAK
The Toxins came back to 731Please respect copyright.PENANAf9Rtsx6mbU
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held731Please respect copyright.PENANAsqKxSuxqXn
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine731Please respect copyright.PENANANgXiShdBqT
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.731Please respect copyright.PENANAnRpuHpOUVB
For a moment, no one 731Please respect copyright.PENANAS16JGLeWgz
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 731Please respect copyright.PENANAaOrD7ej05M
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.731Please respect copyright.PENANAsFAZ5ZBLS7
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.731Please respect copyright.PENANARie8R08Dp1
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 731Please respect copyright.PENANALhfxkxSBSw
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.731Please respect copyright.PENANAbZOO2ddtbV
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."731Please respect copyright.PENANAiIYlpGTt3F
I stared up at the 731Please respect copyright.PENANA2j6KKXZvtl
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 731Please respect copyright.PENANAZJe8qizwYg
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.731Please respect copyright.PENANAmKEsFvjaKr
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."731Please respect copyright.PENANAWrwz1yI35J
When Zoey tried to reach731Please respect copyright.PENANAydceAWrx7D
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 731Please respect copyright.PENANAoqrLzbw2k4
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.731Please respect copyright.PENANAumQiCugzLe
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.731Please respect copyright.PENANAEHoAvL4d31
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.731Please respect copyright.PENANANNmdfKCeyl
Zoey looked hurt with 731Please respect copyright.PENANAfCn39HRPX1
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 731Please respect copyright.PENANA2DLFkZGSX1
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.731Please respect copyright.PENANAHgLz8Mgxxc
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANA3hi1GmSvqv
I didn't answer as I put731Please respect copyright.PENANAoTF75e9Qcf
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I731Please respect copyright.PENANAlZBuB7huIr
was still mad, especially at Zoey.731Please respect copyright.PENANAcwiRyhhNfK
"I know it's a little 731Please respect copyright.PENANAuCtwp4Igcg
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 731Please respect copyright.PENANAdUF6xExle8
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 731Please respect copyright.PENANAAIgwybpCD3
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 731Please respect copyright.PENANAxO99EU6Kcf
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAnoTfIXAqQO
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 731Please respect copyright.PENANAB9DE0bIX2t
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."731Please respect copyright.PENANAsX5DKP6xML
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.731Please respect copyright.PENANAxUwGNymhVH
"I don't like it when 731Please respect copyright.PENANAFph8kcmN1F
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 731Please respect copyright.PENANAXgav51Qdyx
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 731Please respect copyright.PENANA2qfnMBusgZ
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 731Please respect copyright.PENANAxFSYodpkGt
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 731Please respect copyright.PENANAtVWnecBuY2
sorry, Sam."731Please respect copyright.PENANA0yZIylG3Vc
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."731Please respect copyright.PENANAs8VGagFKVI
"I'm sorry too," said 731Please respect copyright.PENANA4jeKYbqMjZ
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 731Please respect copyright.PENANAHVALB9hwC6
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 731Please respect copyright.PENANA6ksUqvE5pY
for you to talk to us again."731Please respect copyright.PENANAb8PTt12Hd1
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 731Please respect copyright.PENANAusUWeRYLaK
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 731Please respect copyright.PENANAarXzoDg6XO
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 731Please respect copyright.PENANASGY1ExccsN
leader."731Please respect copyright.PENANAKHPEg0i2ej
I still didn't say a 731Please respect copyright.PENANAuF7a4mKidO
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 731Please respect copyright.PENANAJH1Mbd0Bdq
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 731Please respect copyright.PENANAvIlANJ1VKy
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 731Please respect copyright.PENANAfZB9T1MxBC
them despite the awful things they put me through.731Please respect copyright.PENANAn5vBJg3kAk
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAbXxRjecEnT
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."731Please respect copyright.PENANA9JaHwezx33
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.731Please respect copyright.PENANA60DJZKRlUr
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.731Please respect copyright.PENANAUolBewAx7w
"I'm mad and pretty much731Please respect copyright.PENANAlVgDBSyhJu
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 731Please respect copyright.PENANAciAuebx9Yv
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."731Please respect copyright.PENANARnN5SozcIf
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAMbr6Xdsvyd
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."731Please respect copyright.PENANAcnz03CKDi7
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.731Please respect copyright.PENANA1fRCJBX30o
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 731Please respect copyright.PENANAkjzwswS76x
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 731Please respect copyright.PENANANKyiwI9ysx
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."731Please respect copyright.PENANA7RQewzRRmM
"Ah, you! Always acting 731Please respect copyright.PENANA3qjgqZIba0
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 731Please respect copyright.PENANAhnIVmnobCL
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 731Please respect copyright.PENANAcKfAnLaOzY
catch it anyway."731Please respect copyright.PENANAm8WDaL2j9G
Christine, Daniel and 731Please respect copyright.PENANAHBoKWmRs72
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2RCwN3Sbw
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 731Please respect copyright.PENANA9kRwTBHjjg
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.731Please respect copyright.PENANArmR3NRM4bZ
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.731Please respect copyright.PENANAsnhdWphhOt
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.731Please respect copyright.PENANA87klHnmqaw
"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...."731Please respect copyright.PENANAd5EO2Uf4am
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.731Please respect copyright.PENANATUekkbAmVI
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."731Please respect copyright.PENANARzmu5MJMEG
"Don't worry, you won't 731Please respect copyright.PENANAXAH0Kwz4em
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 731Please respect copyright.PENANAO8v9fEIlPg
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.731Please respect copyright.PENANAnku1HG9ASm
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.731Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8McYzlvzY
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.731Please respect copyright.PENANA73bX9chiRX
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAlAuZ2gMoSl
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."731Please respect copyright.PENANAK3AlzeF2EP
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.731Please respect copyright.PENANAuyWbXONVDv
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAQdpmqyB7fX
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAwaVTkoh48b
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."731Please respect copyright.PENANAmvolAIcGkR
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.731Please respect copyright.PENANAOVBTPeVvAP
At that moment, I had 731Please respect copyright.PENANA97fYnWwNof
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.731Please respect copyright.PENANAF7IBKB8UvY
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.731Please respect copyright.PENANADVgofo1d8a
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAbnplSe8X2y
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.731Please respect copyright.PENANA2j9HzsUd97
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."731Please respect copyright.PENANAXicwxwDIe4
Zoey got the box of 731Please respect copyright.PENANAaFMsQfTdjr
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 731Please respect copyright.PENANA7JKLyBM6BQ
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.731Please respect copyright.PENANAhwNW95OBdh
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.731Please respect copyright.PENANAyLyLSH1glL
I was in the passage as I731Please respect copyright.PENANAfs99yVHgdM
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 731Please respect copyright.PENANAZvz7ZoyAPM
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed731Please respect copyright.PENANApWZsnzLUh1
in what felt like sadness.731Please respect copyright.PENANA5C80BrkOKG
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.731Please respect copyright.PENANAj5yLuvx5IS
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."731Please respect copyright.PENANAQFrAOOUq4a
I heard his footsteps 731Please respect copyright.PENANAs2SGVpM4SJ
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 731Please respect copyright.PENANAc2uGm9kiWC
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.731Please respect copyright.PENANAorHFEVcsie
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAjTboykL9WK
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAcvXTpcukIe
"Are we really do this right now?"731Please respect copyright.PENANACT4EbnFGjA
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 731Please respect copyright.PENANAaXVvQbF0Rt
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.731Please respect copyright.PENANAmQBbq0kU3D
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANADtCmgxbeVm
"Nope." 731Please respect copyright.PENANAoMyJJ7XKFm
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."731Please respect copyright.PENANAcSjasReU7g
My eyes almost felt like731Please respect copyright.PENANA3TFXlPCoHU
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 731Please respect copyright.PENANAD7LtP0XWOB
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.731Please respect copyright.PENANAkrwbVPm0et
I turned to look at him 731Please respect copyright.PENANA7aWSLDS8Y9
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 731Please respect copyright.PENANAK86yRXgQnT
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.731Please respect copyright.PENANA0jaSNey9FB
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.731Please respect copyright.PENANApbdsPWXBE6
"That you're surrounded 731Please respect copyright.PENANARQyeN7VPWN
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 731Please respect copyright.PENANAOG8abm2RjD
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 731Please respect copyright.PENANAB3XFqVcrTO
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."731Please respect copyright.PENANAKArrPcTlps
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 731Please respect copyright.PENANAZolJmZLVC1
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."731Please respect copyright.PENANA2nV6Sc1ldT
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"731Please respect copyright.PENANASROQFM96Qc
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."731Please respect copyright.PENANAAxno2qvxrZ
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."731Please respect copyright.PENANASE9YPPskB8
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAHeezO62Di6
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."731Please respect copyright.PENANAdZRe52SVYa
Apparently, I couldn't 731Please respect copyright.PENANAsOiaxrSqmA
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 731Please respect copyright.PENANAyMthxZBWtI
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 731Please respect copyright.PENANAEb4AvQfd9J
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 731Please respect copyright.PENANAm03AlDySH9
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 731Please respect copyright.PENANAnSjfOVptOo
death.731Please respect copyright.PENANA7cLxYkyff2
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.731Please respect copyright.PENANAT1KuOWEfN8
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."731Please respect copyright.PENANAwZctkBERmV
Taeyang folded his arms 731Please respect copyright.PENANA2PLWnNiK4o
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think731Please respect copyright.PENANAWq7U555qjH
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."731Please respect copyright.PENANAG3U85CEbHC
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.731Please respect copyright.PENANAvKE1em4Dnu
"You're may think you're731Please respect copyright.PENANA8eglq54qJF
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 731Please respect copyright.PENANA1YjIEZLxbu
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 731Please respect copyright.PENANA4qSu29AEGS
but feeling hurt."731Please respect copyright.PENANAOt3G2ryHQ0
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.731Please respect copyright.PENANAR2Y4Se537O
"But I wouldn't feel 731Please respect copyright.PENANAAL1DHBe3Bh
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 731Please respect copyright.PENANAmRX0MiU45g
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 731Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ke3mKiC7p
at Taeyang.731Please respect copyright.PENANASGMeQpvAFP
Taeyang gave me that 731Please respect copyright.PENANARSUV21JoBv
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 731Please respect copyright.PENANAILKDJC2eGd
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 731Please respect copyright.PENANARpJn9UjCwz
while in return, he nodded.731Please respect copyright.PENANA0KzI2hhlWD
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAVyNFCZCtm3
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."731Please respect copyright.PENANAotkD0kzgmM
I didn't say a word as I731Please respect copyright.PENANAjQZuYGnLhQ
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my731Please respect copyright.PENANATk4R03V5rQ
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 731Please respect copyright.PENANAJeaJrQ9tFj
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 731Please respect copyright.PENANAbAanwuC2kp
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.731Please respect copyright.PENANA8dIHLu438c
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."731Please respect copyright.PENANACdFjunkRkw
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."731Please respect copyright.PENANAhz8sSCXdAH
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."731Please respect copyright.PENANArOfiuvAOXU
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAj1G05nhLxw
If there was ever a way I731Please respect copyright.PENANAPLn7B4GNXn
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 731Please respect copyright.PENANAs6UULZOU7F
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 731Please respect copyright.PENANAD5H7c3f3E6
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.731Please respect copyright.PENANAezkj7rfk35
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAC6jmqaCmmQ
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAgDt6Z7rDhb
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.731Please respect copyright.PENANAZOqP6VYnUg
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.731Please respect copyright.PENANAoNKwFHburr
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANArgKG2NHd1h
"Well, I'm just asking,"731Please respect copyright.PENANAnZVQUZ9VV0
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,731Please respect copyright.PENANAESeWl10tQu
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."731Please respect copyright.PENANAx92GbE9kdj
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.731Please respect copyright.PENANAIUKa7UT3sG
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.731Please respect copyright.PENANA66sThih6wN
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.731Please respect copyright.PENANAoIh5ee1JWs
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.731Please respect copyright.PENANAFgnJG9CXvR
I pressed the button 731Please respect copyright.PENANAd6O0WzdSVN
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 731Please respect copyright.PENANA5n3z8eSZpO
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 731Please respect copyright.PENANAbHev4QOeM9
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.731Please respect copyright.PENANAPHjO5o7c6O
We went to the main 731Please respect copyright.PENANAkSqONWTrLe
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for731Please respect copyright.PENANABzKQrilJ6D
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 731Please respect copyright.PENANAq6V8JYO3zA
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.731Please respect copyright.PENANAHyqTwmg9oi
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.731Please respect copyright.PENANAfDdZzoa2Du
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAgFQp1bSquG
"To be honest, we just 731Please respect copyright.PENANAxVaMSus0xq
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAzYEEdrUoBc
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."731Please respect copyright.PENANAbPoxOSIHaK
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.731Please respect copyright.PENANAmLJG569S5D
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.731Please respect copyright.PENANAU3ZnNZUoKy
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.731Please respect copyright.PENANA58oGqQPeUY
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.731Please respect copyright.PENANARUkCfWmSXx
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.731Please respect copyright.PENANAvXDDx2y3M6
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.731Please respect copyright.PENANAJqQxCj4D7L
"Nah, I don't think so,"731Please respect copyright.PENANANLnsSu0Kkb
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so731Please respect copyright.PENANAEvYBi0BrQC
he would be treating me like that."731Please respect copyright.PENANAt5WIQML3tD
"Mmm, I don't think so,"731Please respect copyright.PENANAInWjRrrfUf
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 731Please respect copyright.PENANA0d1akDPpaO
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAp1E7Y1TAzS
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."731Please respect copyright.PENANA64P87dRXZi
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.731Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ0dZ2WZpl
"Then, stop trying to make one."731Please respect copyright.PENANAv6FmAzNvEI
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."731Please respect copyright.PENANACMOITrGTV1
"Ya, me too," said Mike.731Please respect copyright.PENANA9dXm37nsD6
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.731Please respect copyright.PENANA9HvWFUtUJq
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAf8e0mwWuYt
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.731Please respect copyright.PENANACsMw0fiCbG
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."731Please respect copyright.PENANAccN5Nnd48d
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANA19yjy2pFDb
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.731Please respect copyright.PENANA2yrWDNJkmF
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."731Please respect copyright.PENANAfc8z5wF88s
I didn't even dare try 731Please respect copyright.PENANAY9xMaaVNfl
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 731Please respect copyright.PENANAB6kJ5YZ3TW
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.731Please respect copyright.PENANAzilLFZNuPe
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAlpTVg1ADfK
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAYPbQKDzU7t
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.731Please respect copyright.PENANAVLja3r6toL
I heard footsteps coming731Please respect copyright.PENANAw8cOJQprB8
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 731Please respect copyright.PENANACZAzCf8tQo
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 731Please respect copyright.PENANAzfi4rSFx0v
look at me.731Please respect copyright.PENANAmfncqyOAXP
"Are you okay?" he whispered.731Please respect copyright.PENANABMy92mYwaU
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.731Please respect copyright.PENANAV39KDoqb0v
I soon felt strong hands731Please respect copyright.PENANAa6IKzqkakC
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD731Please respect copyright.PENANA7hWgDgAaLO
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.731Please respect copyright.PENANAFoZLUh80hp
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"731Please respect copyright.PENANA58dYpRdf3D
"I'm a whole lot better,731Please respect copyright.PENANAQHeREhXr9G
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 731Please respect copyright.PENANAUEATjhIfff
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.731Please respect copyright.PENANAORK1Bi8oT0
"Glad to hear that."731Please respect copyright.PENANANicDs4ody0
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.731Please respect copyright.PENANASNFoEa6FXv
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."731Please respect copyright.PENANADKfh2rxK4u
I was planning not to 731Please respect copyright.PENANA0tpnrZD9tj
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 731Please respect copyright.PENANAtdFVpcVOiU
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 731Please respect copyright.PENANAvD52zdQtAm
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to731Please respect copyright.PENANAJAEDDhtqpb
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 731Please respect copyright.PENANARwLGvsx2zi
under the bridge.731Please respect copyright.PENANAMj1gkRkLgm
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."731Please respect copyright.PENANATWPfoXz1qv
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAiYQ6FwLIb2
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."731Please respect copyright.PENANAwLjdoFWUIe
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."731Please respect copyright.PENANAXDiSfc9c7Z
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.731Please respect copyright.PENANA1nG9TGm5Hw
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.731Please respect copyright.PENANAnwzvB2fghz
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANA6DdRJidPGh
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."731Please respect copyright.PENANAEcsEpUUBEo
The waiters soon came 731Please respect copyright.PENANAq4WUbyR5kM
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.731Please respect copyright.PENANAENR2kLUCHf
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 731Please respect copyright.PENANAPRvYYCs5nB
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 731Please respect copyright.PENANAAaJzmZ2ksv
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.731Please respect copyright.PENANA7HDznx51KO
For a moment, I felt 731Please respect copyright.PENANA054KDAYlaT
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 731Please respect copyright.PENANALEzMvvjrvh
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 731Please respect copyright.PENANA6p3P6BsAzn
me to forget that I was ever mad.731Please respect copyright.PENANAeGS5FrRjkt
"Mmm, this is so 731Please respect copyright.PENANAWHK1D95MxO
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 731Please respect copyright.PENANAnaiYHCVnPL
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."731Please respect copyright.PENANAfYTnhOg7it
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."731Please respect copyright.PENANAeSP2GFKpvr
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."731Please respect copyright.PENANASC166cTzTL
"Anything for you, Sam,"731Please respect copyright.PENANABPykgOyI8L
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 731Please respect copyright.PENANAB5grkB3MAb
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."731Please respect copyright.PENANAxbQu7CKERA
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANA90Cfochiw0
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.731Please respect copyright.PENANANNa6XKaV82
I had just taken in some731Please respect copyright.PENANAaPHe81Zwxu
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 731Please respect copyright.PENANA4UBvODYVld
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly731Please respect copyright.PENANAZr7P608NkA
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 731Please respect copyright.PENANAND6xZScBnH
just said.731Please respect copyright.PENANAN1mGUOaDeS
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANA8ojKQ1LKR7
"Well, ya," Christine 731Please respect copyright.PENANAaR3NXXIatT
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 731Please respect copyright.PENANAZZgk8sxR44
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 731Please respect copyright.PENANACccu3HM7tW
special lunch to lighten your mood."731Please respect copyright.PENANAn9SpsxduGt
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.731Please respect copyright.PENANARXUxKmaCsm
"Thanks for the lunch, 731Please respect copyright.PENANA6OkW7IwUXs
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so731Please respect copyright.PENANAqszygsoE9X
sweet of you to have come up with this."731Please respect copyright.PENANAhdREa6JbJX
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.731Please respect copyright.PENANA9t5gVjXCoA
I almost felt like 731Please respect copyright.PENANACbCZB3IPPK
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 731Please respect copyright.PENANAh9LtagGsks
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare731Please respect copyright.PENANAzc9UQG9lYN
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 731Please respect copyright.PENANAffIi1fiib3
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 731Please respect copyright.PENANAX9WrwEhI8M
turning into rage?731Please respect copyright.PENANAT63l2taSz5
Oh, goodness. I needed 731Please respect copyright.PENANAkQJs1nB8AS
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 731Please respect copyright.PENANARfkp77tbyl
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 731Please respect copyright.PENANANY6qiFhbV0
I tried to push aside 731Please respect copyright.PENANAmb76JFMzkW
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 731Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z7HvFO1z2
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 731Please respect copyright.PENANAxIPlaXd7bR
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 731Please respect copyright.PENANA4XtHtgGzzc
chocolate moussé.731Please respect copyright.PENANAEpin2DgnCQ
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,731Please respect copyright.PENANAjEIV4MSd3z
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 731Please respect copyright.PENANAmfNxIkrlzk
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.731Please respect copyright.PENANAK054zGDxtg
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.731Please respect copyright.PENANAjmtlIvDKx7
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."731Please respect copyright.PENANAI4EXDsVzkj
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.731Please respect copyright.PENANAcWH3SUsiL0
I didn't wait for 731Please respect copyright.PENANAk5gfz4IGDG
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I731Please respect copyright.PENANAkHxM8Q6qdj
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed731Please respect copyright.PENANAFQTxRFueaX
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 731Please respect copyright.PENANACBEdsuC4Um
heaven.731Please respect copyright.PENANAzI00LlgDeW
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.731Please respect copyright.PENANAcvzkN7HboN
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."731Please respect copyright.PENANAZjvSPUdup1
"I don't care," I said 731Please respect copyright.PENANAkndWex627l
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 731Please respect copyright.PENANAwZdfxyBfP7
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."731Please respect copyright.PENANAFbWbnJ67xo
G-Dragon smiled back at 731Please respect copyright.PENANAcGmRkDnhMD
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 731Please respect copyright.PENANAWALbrYfFzL
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 731Please respect copyright.PENANA8mkA2bRtsm
away.731Please respect copyright.PENANAMOcKXgUVZM
After dessert, we all 731Please respect copyright.PENANAccARaEGhjm
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 731Please respect copyright.PENANAru6waUyLiQ
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 731Please respect copyright.PENANAt4mJC30OTX
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 731Please respect copyright.PENANAmBUD5HiJSP
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 731Please respect copyright.PENANAUwMSfo7g7U
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 731Please respect copyright.PENANA4db77maFUr
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.731Please respect copyright.PENANArqm9GtFaXX
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAGJQlx2CVgk
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.731Please respect copyright.PENANAKd1NV2Nfip
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."731Please respect copyright.PENANAqFUjjFwoyn
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.731Please respect copyright.PENANA7ertfX82aL
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."731Please respect copyright.PENANAztcqoMcCGV
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."731Please respect copyright.PENANAEJiVlQsHcT
"What stuff?" TOP asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAcPdzRqzMsF
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAjH1bMkXBo8
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."731Please respect copyright.PENANARJ4pgZkbPm
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.731Please respect copyright.PENANAWSMZcWmgo7
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.731Please respect copyright.PENANATBRLtVM0WG
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.731Please respect copyright.PENANArFaqbowmEL
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.731Please respect copyright.PENANAQdQICnNk2b
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."731Please respect copyright.PENANAkJCnJ1zYaX
"Wait, what's going on?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAG5ygkL3EV8
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAkh2Nnmt6lG
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAHB7BJBonSk
"I thought we should all731Please respect copyright.PENANA5ez2DedT7J
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 731Please respect copyright.PENANAh9X4CijgNg
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."731Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y9OZxr65k
"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.731Please respect copyright.PENANAOZCaLZvEwl
"I don't know, I feel we731Please respect copyright.PENANArkcKBky7ME
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.731Please respect copyright.PENANAhUkl0K9yOY
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out731Please respect copyright.PENANAZPXqhfMgPR
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."731Please respect copyright.PENANAPWdzZcZdg5
"I don't get it though,"731Please respect copyright.PENANA0vrGcbWYk9
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 731Please respect copyright.PENANAVKexiYl8bJ
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write731Please respect copyright.PENANAOZK06qMg7y
the lyrics?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAX3KGKgOs1n
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.731Please respect copyright.PENANAGVxs2yM3wf
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"731Please respect copyright.PENANARchdWfPJAl
This time, I also raised731Please respect copyright.PENANARnkkAulQu8
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 731Please respect copyright.PENANAL4M3ud5r3Y
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.731Please respect copyright.PENANAbN2E5lXtRY
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAxUq5W9AaO0
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.731Please respect copyright.PENANAcSiFjVkd9H
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.731Please respect copyright.PENANAdvjLPoJKDr
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANA2ATCbS7IAt
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."731Please respect copyright.PENANAv2pbceIznH
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAB76lRZS90q
By the way G-Dragon 731Please respect copyright.PENANA8twce3COYr
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 731Please respect copyright.PENANAiwQNALkPLZ
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And731Please respect copyright.PENANAKzrMiQSqoj
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of731Please respect copyright.PENANAQVNU3sKtmg
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.731Please respect copyright.PENANAlv4VnIxGVj
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."731Please respect copyright.PENANA8txNxH0m4S
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"731Please respect copyright.PENANArxu2LfKYtH
"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."731Please respect copyright.PENANA7zjHCgq4Lz
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.731Please respect copyright.PENANABLLcesGDuh
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAc2MIxya4FC
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.731Please respect copyright.PENANAABXKabRfWT
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."731Please respect copyright.PENANAlQxayUkEW5
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."731Please respect copyright.PENANAxWz91k3yK0
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."731Please respect copyright.PENANAFYXKus85d9
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."731Please respect copyright.PENANA3ScgqJgLTH
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."731Please respect copyright.PENANAD4KZ3x2hvh
"What truth?" I asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAhh4SlDF2hO
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."731Please respect copyright.PENANA17WPY7y3PE
Taeyang was right. I was731Please respect copyright.PENANAMb8WRxdhhE
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 731Please respect copyright.PENANAxn98NbYMAX
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 731Please respect copyright.PENANA4CLNCMdQMU
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 731Please respect copyright.PENANACE2NCvvaEc
attention.731Please respect copyright.PENANAN8Kmk8chSj
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."731Please respect copyright.PENANAcSaSSKRckh
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."731Please respect copyright.PENANAtdPRUuB93L
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel731Please respect copyright.PENANAxvnAJS3oum
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 731Please respect copyright.PENANASsB8HXRQCu
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!731Please respect copyright.PENANAtXtFLV1yRj
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.731Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fd9FoqBGs
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.731Please respect copyright.PENANAMfDrbZCniD
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.731Please respect copyright.PENANAY3hctEyl1Q
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.731Please respect copyright.PENANAWDOMry7Pco
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.731Please respect copyright.PENANAvkYgqSqVKQ
"But I....." 731Please respect copyright.PENANAeoqAZ5Fnj5
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 731Please respect copyright.PENANATfMETVkGCi
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've731Please respect copyright.PENANAVCJCCpiWEz
talked way too much, don't you think?"731Please respect copyright.PENANAgCYkdHClmF
That felt like a slap in731Please respect copyright.PENANAhAFrXwPnUn
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 731Please respect copyright.PENANAT60BJ6nUmQ
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 731Please respect copyright.PENANAAVoCF8bmrX
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 731Please respect copyright.PENANAFAVEtfeVTa
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 731Please respect copyright.PENANAWOiEdV3hzS
about what I thought was best for the whole group?731Please respect copyright.PENANAX6HdFCkjU4
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.731Please respect copyright.PENANA9ray3GxKJy
"That's fine with me," said Mike.731Please respect copyright.PENANAGP1aJyo8m3
Everyone else agreed, 731Please respect copyright.PENANAvjAFtI57Gj
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 731Please respect copyright.PENANAPc0Oab4oKt
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 731Please respect copyright.PENANA5dFrYIqtzl
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 731Please respect copyright.PENANAzXcOTaP5c9
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 731Please respect copyright.PENANALWnCLb2DGi
B, just in case.731Please respect copyright.PENANAm8lfICcLjL
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.731Please respect copyright.PENANAzBLBYOuBVC
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.731Please respect copyright.PENANA1gSZ0ks4Qb
"Not now, Sam. We will 731Please respect copyright.PENANAxBHLSZSxOF
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 731Please respect copyright.PENANAjIjJ6sRarr
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 731Please respect copyright.PENANAoSXIYuqcfd
gave me goosebumps.731Please respect copyright.PENANAyPBBeGpQNi
"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."731Please respect copyright.PENANARJjIWCE2uy
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 731Please respect copyright.PENANARIMUBn6XLk
One by one everyone 731Please respect copyright.PENANAMqv8uxDuka
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 731Please respect copyright.PENANAR6Z6drgNt5
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem731Please respect copyright.PENANAcE1JtDHJ4d
appropriate.731Please respect copyright.PENANAidppQb722x
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.731Please respect copyright.PENANAriFTSm9cB0
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.731Please respect copyright.PENANAnC7jrGndkt
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.731Please respect copyright.PENANAiV1BOsY2y4
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.731Please respect copyright.PENANAEjYd68M2Qn
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."731Please respect copyright.PENANAJghRJiBbRA
"It's not that. I pissed731Please respect copyright.PENANAgGFFbZJWhz
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take731Please respect copyright.PENANAaK0a2acyWd
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."731Please respect copyright.PENANAK7ZRqhsPAi
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."731Please respect copyright.PENANAbZVMNL3amU
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."731Please respect copyright.PENANAYtSLOWH6pW
Taeyang placed his hand 731Please respect copyright.PENANAlJrdVpaivJ
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He731Please respect copyright.PENANAlIFUECTsxv
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.731Please respect copyright.PENANAYQROIds728
I knew I had to hope for731Please respect copyright.PENANA18mGATlooV
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut731Please respect copyright.PENANANuDWcuE3s9
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 731Please respect copyright.PENANA4mxnLDmtri
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 731Please respect copyright.PENANAz2mH4GuaJ7
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 731Please respect copyright.PENANA0epGSAeTlU
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
