I was looking out 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcuCMP8sERA
through the car window on an early Thursday morning as we were being 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAqbnDLaELU6
driven to YG. I felt so much had happened since we got here, it felt 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAK7sLqb2yzo
like we had stayed in South Korea for so long when its only been five 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAauLuMlIF0s
days. I already felt homesick and the feeling of going to YG this 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9Nj9IH6OnD
morning, made me nervous.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcfoeJHcOvs
I didn't know what to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAtMKFnr4Tx0
expect when I get there. Yesterday was a total disaster and I prayed 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJkTcYma0HQ
that today it wouldn't be the same. But deep down, I knew I had to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAxQuPQR4NnK
prepare myself for what's to come. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAz3RIg6Q8wt
Although the other 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAtBCaR6YjL5
Toxins and I were still on speaking terms like nothing had happened 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAR1jqX4kyHT
during lunch yesterday, I could somehow feel the tension amongst 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAnnOtAGOAtQ
ourselves. It's like we were now divided ever since I had suggested on 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA4RhPhy0O6P
on all of us working on the lyrics for the song. Mike, Daniel and I on 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6ymXHFPeqy
one side, Zoey and Christine on the other. How I wish it never came to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAx3Xsh8OpCS
this and I regretted every moment of it. But as the saying goes, what's 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAXJsifhVVDr
done is done.1009Please respect copyright.PENANABZXzBJUXvE
We were all seated in 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAwkqaaOr0Vk
the car, the others talking amongst themselves with Lee and Collins 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcJvu72jjEI
while I was quiet and feeling out of place. We hadn't told Lee and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAV8wnQRaZdC
Collins about our little conflict yesterday. We decided not to tell them1009Please respect copyright.PENANADdfYi6fk52
until we came to a final decision. That's if it will even be necessary.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7GwKhF0Lxl
"Looks like someone is 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhIpEqcAoET
deep in their thoughts this morning," said Collins who sat in the front 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAy3qtPsoTnb
seat of the car and was looking at me through the rearview mirror.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAozAsLa3wN7
"I just miss home, that's all," I said.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6sWVeD4u14
"You can give your mum a call later on in the evening," said Collins. "I bet by then it would be daytime in the U.S."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAoC4NFKqx2m
"Ya, sure." I tried to put up a smile, but it felt pointless.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA2e3odiNrzA
We finally arrived at 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhlmoKvBOur
our destination and when we all got out of the car, I couldn't help but 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAp4Vj17eTrT
feel nervous. The five of us followed Collins and Lee into the YG 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAHpIK4erzn6
building. As usual, we first had to go for practice. We left Collins and1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6DbV7Ezpd9
Lee downstairs on the ground floor, while the rest of us took the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAfyUEU7w3sS
elevator heading for the changing rooms.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAVVWIKUuknQ
After changing, we all met in one of the dance studios, ready for practice.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAKpzMht2Xm9
"So, what should we do first?" I asked. "Go through the same routine as always or come up with some new dance moves?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAsMFsG8KNlH
"I don't see why we 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMyfGd3tlEx
should come up with new dance moves," said Zoey. "I mean, it's not like 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAPczdkXjxav
we have come up with a new song yet or anything."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAaLp9kIJje0
I felt my heart jolt upwards and I couldn't tell if it was guilt because of the song issue or I wasn't just feeling too well.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAtM6lkUBwDW
"But we always come up 1009Please respect copyright.PENANABRQaMLpGpN
with new dance moves even without a new song," said Mike. "I've come up 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAIcPzpD6w9O
with some pretty good moves and I think we should try them out."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAggmKqdISP0
"Well, okay then," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders as though in doubt. "Let's give it a shot."1009Please respect copyright.PENANA8eOQL0bz6v
"Zoey, if you want you can just sit back and watch," I said. "It seems to me you don't want to do this."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhEAoQMUDaI
"No, I want to, believe me," said Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAVq9OolRzBo
"Okay, if you say so," I turned to Mike. "So, what new ideas do you have?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAGCuEi7ItFZ
Mike soon begun teaching1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZvT1tgKckw
us some of the dance moves he had come up with and without fail, we all1009Please respect copyright.PENANAL9Po5xBcM4
got to know them quickly even when we made a few mistakes here and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7x81FYa9sn
there. We soon got a hang of it after going through it a number of 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAakqAxm3IxK
times, it turned out to be perfect and we liked it. Sometimes back home 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA2ViTMqN6MI
when our choreographer, Jimmy wasn't available, Mike would step in and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA37uLSOQORo
act as our choreographer instead. Most of the time, the two would both 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFx7lSoMBot
work together, and they made a pretty good team.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAX86puEhh7K
After going through the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAU6FlSpZJrH
dance moves flawlessly with what seemed like the fourth time, we decided1009Please respect copyright.PENANAv70RB4xa2E
to take a break. And when I went to collect my water bottle on a rack 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6n0ArlhjYt
where we laid our training bags, I noticed from the corner of my eye 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkT8joZjUwt
that the door stood slightly open. That's weird. The last time I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA80dvLN6izz
checked, the door was closed and I am pretty sure of it.1009Please respect copyright.PENANApK8Na56MfT
When I turned to face 1009Please respect copyright.PENANArOHEF5ZIJj
the door, I noticed a shadow, and it moved. Someone was definitely 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAHMlJXqwHfb
behind the door. I started to walk towards it and when I got to the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAfkXtWsEFwZ
door, I was surprised with what I saw. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7DtFHHVkuM
Standing behind the door1009Please respect copyright.PENANARMHuJWN90N
were two young trainees, probably in their teens, a male and female. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANATk2S8kGpJy
When I saw them face to face behind the door, they seemed frightened and1009Please respect copyright.PENANAzhXXQn00oj
they bowed their heads.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAIPZIidbNHG
At that moment I didn't have any words to say as I kept staring at them.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAu3rpDhEeia
"Hey, Sam, who is by the door?" Christine called out to me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMUZbkMhyTJ
I couldn't even reply. I1009Please respect copyright.PENANAjETl6BQMK0
didn't even know where to start explaining to Christine that there were1009Please respect copyright.PENANAEjzlLb09G6
young trainees by the door, who were probably watching us practice.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAEKg7IqfpuP
Before I could say anything, the girl said, "we're sorry. We didn't mean to spy on you while you were practising."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQRJZuTKTLa
"Yes, we're sorry," said the boy. "We were just leaving."1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9usu42CffW
With their heads still bowed low, they slowly started to back away.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAflxuxwslOx
"Wait, stop," I said.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA27Ei5kjx7u
The two trainees immediately stopped as though they were robots. It felt a little weird, but I quickly brushed off the feeling.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5eZJGlN6b
"Please, come in," I said, stepping aside and widening the door for them.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAq2r7xx2lAa
For a moment, the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4FBbGvL9u
trainees looked on at me with scared looks on their faces. I can tell 1009Please respect copyright.PENANABBzQjdHQdl
why. It was probably some of the rules set around the place and they 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQPNhnSO9Qh
must have found it quiet weird that I, the famous B.K, had told them to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAOqnpfBaIKS
come in.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAy9LoQWaTAr
"아니요 (Aniyo)," said the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAK6kXPAx2ec
boy. I recognised that he said 'no'. I don't know Korean, but there were1009Please respect copyright.PENANAf1KIiXNF55
some basic words I got to know so far from watching some K-Drama 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAU0FmQUzpab
series.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y8Skxq1ba
"I mean, no," said the boy, this time in English. "That won't be necessary."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMBZ6XvHEws
"No, I insist," I said. "Come on in, we don't bite."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAmYjSXlVjNf
Zoey soon appeared behind me and asked, "what's going on? Are these fans of ours?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAEsGgbHs8Sh
"Well, maybe," I said. "Don't try to intimidate them. You know you scare people."1009Please respect copyright.PENANArBZ8qYQ7uR
"No, I don't," Zoey 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAnv5kt7tRX9
turned to face the trainees and said, "you guys can come on in and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANALNahQh8y7z
practice with us. You're YG trainees, right?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1mk7P24Sa
The two trainees 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAE2dxaKSlDU
nervously nodded, still with their heads bowed low. I looked on at the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1K18XK4uc
trainees, then at Zoey, then back at the trainees again.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAu58lNJP3n6
"If you are worried 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA5XuIkai0ti
about getting in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk, don't worry about it," I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAEbKbsDh1iu
said. "You can come and practice with us. You don't have to be afraid."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAdG0wooLt3A
The two trainees looked 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAX6p6U9jHHF
at me and this time, they looked really excited. By the looks on their 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAff6bIK3LpP
faces, I bet they were fans, and probably the idea of dancing with The 1009Please respect copyright.PENANArj9sjk0Xdw
Toxins seemed like a dream come true. I knew how that felt, because once1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFds4CtMqPa
upon a time, I was once in their shoes.1009Please respect copyright.PENANACRnhOiZmR9
"Re-really?" the girl asked, looking at me with excitement in her eyes.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAWwea6xNw9D
"Ya, sure. Why not?" I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA8sJSBGr4oG
jerked my head to the side, telling them to come in. I knew I was 1009Please respect copyright.PENANATEpvrSu3Y1
already in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk because of what happened at 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA49fYZb4NqL
Caribbean Bay, so I didn't mind if I got into more trouble just because 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAsqrF8gbnCJ
of allowing innocent trainees to come and practice with us.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA81X5HAwirB
The trainees gladly followed as Zoey and I led the way.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbm7s7lwglo
"Oh, I see you brought in some friends," said Daniel as he saw us approaching. "Welcome guys."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAKCbgWclkJ3
"Thank you," said the two trainees at the same time, with huge big smiles on their faces.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAIA1U7r5Y7Z
"You guys don't mind if they join us, do you?" I asked the others.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAO3UslcMiUQ
"Not at all," said Mike.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAeqEIRPUTsF
"Ya, it's good to have people around, much less our fans," said Christine. "It's going to be so much fun."1009Please respect copyright.PENANARVBbp9kmGX
"Wow, this is like a dream come true," said the girl. "I never knew I would be dancing with you guys."1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6OWL1jYccj
"You better believe it, girl," said Zoey, giving the girl a wink. "Dreams do come true."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAGY1cxdyeZe
"So, should we teach them the new dance moves we have been working on?" Mike asked as he turned to me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAurlDR6MRNy
"Ya, sure," I said. "It's okay with me."1009Please respect copyright.PENANATiCaGjbvRe
Mike soon started to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAYiNEpDGd1x
teach the trainees the dance moves and surprisingly, they got to learn 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAvaZNtWi9Rt
it quicker than I anticipated. They were really talented, I had to give 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA1tdnZMzREU
them credit for that.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6UmnYaiURh
"Wow, for trainees, you're really good," said Mike, as he turned to face them.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAKbcPwYsO7y
"We try," said the boy. "We have been watching you practise, so it wasn't that hard."1009Please respect copyright.PENANA3wVYgnQN6J
"We didn't get to know your names," said Daniel.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA0usb5i8Tm4
"I'm Soo Mi," said the girl.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAidrVjrqxpR
"I'm Young Jin," said the boy.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAGCLWm9udTi
"It's really nice to meet you guys," I said. "Why don't we go through the dance moves together and see how it all turns out?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMDMd64y4r6
Everyone agreed. We 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA94Nh9AS2Fg
positioned ourselves and started going through the moves again and it 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJVzfM9wOpi
was awesome. When we were done, everyone cheered and we all gave each 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA8PanpHRyV3
other high fives.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAs2O7gnqTo2
"This is so much fun," I said.1009Please respect copyright.PENANArNZljqWrNi
"Ya, I know, we should be doing this more often with other trainees," said Mike.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAXQuN92BtC6
"Ya, but we have to finish this dance routine, Mike," said Zoey. "So, work on it."1009Please respect copyright.PENANANf55D4L6Yp
While I turned to talk to the trainees, I noticed Lee come into the studio. And she seemed to be coming straight for me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANADVARewKXSt
"Sam, we need to go," said Lee as she came close.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAj2QVpb3Y8k
"Go? Go where?" I asked looking confused.1009Please respect copyright.PENANARBuRRlpe0e
"The reporters are here, you know, over the video of you and G-Dragon."1009Please respect copyright.PENANANcBsbl4kOS
Yikes! I was enjoying 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ7BU2PzGJ
myself with practice and being friends with the trainees, I forgot all 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9NRydyc8XT
about the video. I wish the reporters should just forget about the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcbhH7CCxal
stupid video for once and let it be.1009Please respect copyright.PENANATCfkAm10o7
But that wasn't my only 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAOv5LgWiTNF
fear. I am going to be with GD for the interview and the thought of 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAWXbg7UZhFT
being next to him somehow made me nervous. I realised that I had 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAgMFwr07cAd
goosebumps all over my arms just at the thought of it. I just hope he 1009Please respect copyright.PENANADzCr8PAM59
isn't mad at me anymore. But I was going to trust my gut and say that he1009Please respect copyright.PENANAyMPNdVEQGH
probably still is.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7h5meuadPv
"Wait, they are having their interview today?" Zoey asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAytMxVBqhFP
"Yes, and right now," said Lee. "Go and freshen up, Sam. You must be ready within fifteen minutes."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAl2qzhDgJt1
"Um, okay," I said. I could even hear my voice breaking. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFysFxzC316
"Is GD already here?" Christine asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkErQSnO9ou
When Christine asked the1009Please respect copyright.PENANAx8CIjTlIVX
question, I felt my heart stop beating. Eish! I was nervous for sure. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAlxhb1x2ahb
The thought of GD being here almost made me want to run.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAzopISPnniN
"No, but he will be here any moment," Lee replied. "Come on, Sam. You better take a shower."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMBrYASHSUO
Somehow, it felt good 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAXRGd3gakLC
that I was going to take a shower. Maybe I would cool off and try to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA5cqgGJwurv
calm down with all of this. But I felt that wasn't going to be the case.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA2wsCqoARmN
"See you later, guys," I said as I followed Lee who led the way out of the studio.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAsP9YJVykOT
Everyone waved and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAPCvj8JCxbQ
wished me luck. Dealing with reporters wasn't easy and you just didn't 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA8AjJQVvUfe
need luck to confront them. You needed guts and confidence.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA1ncWDDnrma
I needed luck to be on my side though, because dealing with G-Dragon wasn't going to be easy.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAW6SeRasyCk
***1009Please respect copyright.PENANAakjeQV7yFs
The make-up artists were1009Please respect copyright.PENANAnJjtblHh8t
done powdering my face and my hair was all combed and tied up in a pony1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6dCJsSOEIZ
tail. I wanted to look simple in front of the cameras and reporters 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAUwYBmisYnk
just like I always have. Except whenever I have to shoot for music 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAmsldIVOooO
videos and taking photo shoots, I have to apply make-up just to fit in 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA2GLbwsuHhC
with the scene.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6PtN1y7pfu
When the make-up artists1009Please respect copyright.PENANA24C2mFv8Rr
were done and I was applying pink lip gloss on my lips, I heard quick 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAAmyGBMJSTt
chattering behind me and someone mentioned G-Dragon's name. I turned to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7XCUrOOUSM
look behind me and I saw G-Dragon entering the dressing room.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAd3efo8Fo6R
My heart skipped a beat 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAjftJsnz9ZK
as I watched him. He didn't seem to notice me at first because of the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMkmBsfG5Q2
make-up artists and clothe designers that surrounded him trying to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA3HpEFR93F7
figure out if he needed a bit of make-up and a change of clothes. But 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAuVMXGvxNMF
just the way he was dressed seemed okay to me and they seemed to have 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAAfGzBVfa4V
noticed that too because, they backed away from him and went on to do 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAe4TXjyP268
their own things.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAf0yZIrK3gS
He dyed his hair blonde 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAPjrtSH3DaV
this time around and it matched with his white fancy jacket with gold 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAs0JdhqR7Lt
studs on the collar and a black shirt beneath. They never call him a 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAPVdHOomAuX
fashionista for nothing.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAE6rLcrLxaO
When he looked in my direction, he saw me and he immediately looked the other way as though I was nothing.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAj1JK1pCe4q
Ouch! That's gotta hurt!1009Please respect copyright.PENANAo2yOS0Sa6I
I felt my face grow hot in embarrassment. He was still mad at me. I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANADKEobjYYiV
slowly turned to face the mirror again trying to act like nothing was 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAfe8b0ErddO
wrong, when I was actually hurt.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAK6lWTldyCp
Through the mirror, I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAp1VdSuLqSG
saw G-Dragon take a seat on the other side of the dressing room facing a1009Please respect copyright.PENANAXIuiu9Hd2E
mirror. He was looking down on his phone, probably texting or 1009Please respect copyright.PENANACUi7dzGcwh
something, and I continued to stare at him.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAF7zqJvTrJL
G-Dragon looked up at 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAyEDUGXxxOS
the mirror in front of him and I bet he saw me looking at him through my1009Please respect copyright.PENANA5IUOrzctyo
mirror because he had a funny look on his face and he went back to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAgRoDWRUuNh
looking at his phone. Bummer! I could tell by the way he looked at the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAGZl7VWai1F
mirror that he obviously saw me looking at him. I sighed in deep regret 1009Please respect copyright.PENANALyrF3GqaXm
and looked the other way. I had never felt so alone.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAHyQUTDSZsj
Then all of the sudden, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMKlxtfT0d5
someone behind me held my shoulders and I almost jumped in fright. I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA1oEBi2zH79
looked behind me and there stood Daesung. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANALcOB3kQCk5
"Hey, little kitty. Your head's in the clouds today," he said, as he continued to look down at me and smiled. "What's up?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbg39vbiECb
At that moment, I was so1009Please respect copyright.PENANA4UIKxPOyWX
glad that he was here. Right now I needed someone to talk to. I smiled 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAUhLkpbENEb
back up at him. His smile and his presence seemed to have brighten my 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA33xD0RQ3TX
mood a little.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAP0A8TJBDx6
"Take a seat and I'll tell you," I said.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAuK1NsvLnGO
"Okay, sounds serious," said Daesung as he grabbed a chair and sat next to me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ8qm7Feel
When I looked at 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA3SK1ER3I4S
Daesung, I felt myself blush. With our shoulders almost brushing each 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAmm9vwmPkp7
other, I could feel the electric pull between us and I hope he wasn't 1009Please respect copyright.PENANABqMTYQMOre
feeling it too. It brought back memories of what happened the day before1009Please respect copyright.PENANAG0H39aL3J7
yesterday. The two of us hadn't even tried to bring up that topic yet. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA2oeLEUzXM1
Maybe we never will.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAeHT61WvTUE
"So, tell me, what's wrong?" Daesung asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAIVlYqUsumr
"Everything is wrong," I slowly replied.1009Please respect copyright.PENANASC6P4YL1FY
"Is it about yesterday?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAe43UqsZxyb
"Ya, it is."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Dnbyinqs
Daesung looked behind 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAN3YabAQuzd
him because he knew what I was taking about. I also turned and G-Dragon 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAOu0C20HGdV
was still on his phone ignoring everyone around him. He seemed lost in 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAzjUmpVOHOD
his own world.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQ011Vpxnb8
"He's still mad, isn't he?" Daesung asked as he turned to face me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAiJvwhLEGcP
"Pretty much," I replied. "He didn't say a word to me when he came in and ignored me as though I didn't exist."1009Please respect copyright.PENANALcafY6XySF
"Let's just hope he doesn't stay that way for long."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAGxvaqXh5IT
"I hope so too. But why do I get the feeling that this is only going to get worse?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANA4hECzmnIL8
"Stop thinking like that, okay?" Daesung held my hand that was on my lap. That sent tingles up my arm and down my spine.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhHgYNpoLMj
"I can't, Daesung," I said. "My gut feeling has never failed me before. Why should it now?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANA8S7zeB4QH5
"I don't have the answer to that. And it seems to me you really trust your gut a lot."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAWN2pw7isTB
"Dah, I always do," I said rolling my eyes playfully as I smiled.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAYZWw6OilFI
Daesung laughed and that1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFkYUXHy4Pz
caused me to laugh also. I felt so relieved that I shared this with 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhKabm0MHpw
Daesung. He is so nice, caring and understanding, just like Taeyang.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhBDiIcGI13
I soon felt someone's 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZVd9yEO6k5
eyes on me as I laughed. I looked behind me. For a moment, I had a 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAT3O9pStwda
feeling that G-Dragon was staring at us through the mirror, but his eyes1009Please respect copyright.PENANAWN8VqSdaAB
were still on the phone. Maybe I was just imagining things.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAdHw5z4VIQT
Lee suddenly came in the dressing room and said, "Sam, Ji Yong, it's time to go. The reporters are waiting."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0SMX4jzdU
I quickly stood up and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAVLNLDTGdec
checked if my clothes were alright. I was wearing a blue summer dress 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAs1sVByTGBn
with purple flowers on it and white flats.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA5DhXIygXJD
"You look beautiful, Sam," said Daesung. "Just stunning."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJntysQ51GG
I smiled and I blushed like crazy. Right now, I had to focus on the interview and Daesung was sweeping me off my feet.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ai6HLymwU
"Thanks, Daesung," I smiled, as I continued to blush.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAP8Bxdbgt5U
I noticed G-Dragon stare1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFiXZsfYIoS
at us as he stood up from his chair. And when I turned to face him, he 1009Please respect copyright.PENANApVqkZyg8o4
quickly looked away and walked out of the dressing room, bypassing Lee 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAceyc9fgCER
who was by the door. For a moment, the room was silent as everyone, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAxtdzzlSHUQ
including the people who worked around the dressing room, noticed 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkpNNdoF4Ub
G-Dragon's odd behaviour.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZvroG2iHaR
"Wow. What's wrong with him?" Lee asked as she pointed her thumb down the hall where G-Dragon had passed.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA0asVCjfQ31
"Long story," I answered. "We better go."1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9nq9xkl54z
Lee nodded her head and I turned to face Daesung.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFEAeQ5sVl9
"You'll be fine, don't worry about it," said Daesung as he smiled at me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAxzg0H7d3OE
"Thanks," I tried to put up a smile, but it all felt useless.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA5xYWTLOg8W
Lee and I walked out of 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAmcXM2y6eeS
the dressing room together and it seemed like G-Dragon had already taken1009Please respect copyright.PENANAjBNtVyA2aQ
off into the elevator without us because he wasn't in the hallway. The 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAvXUNb5U1OP
guilt came back to settle within me and I couldn't help but blame myself1009Please respect copyright.PENANAoL0QzB79a3
that it was all my fault he was acting this way.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAzi5VHH5mgT
When Lee and I got into 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAdDwOQJmYdo
the elevator, she asked, "why does G-Dragon seem so upset? I noticed the1009Please respect copyright.PENANAXNGH9TP3Qj
way he looked at you. Weren't you supposed to be mad at him for what 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAS6gtIJ9J6K
happened at Caribbean Bay?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAPaoi52VDcs
"A lot has happened that1009Please respect copyright.PENANAg7XCNBto6F
you don't know about, Lee," I said, staring at my feet as the elevator 1009Please respect copyright.PENANARx8gSZmRUK
continued to move. "So much that I can't explain."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAeLctGT4Pvd
"Like what? I heard you guys had lunch yesterday and things didn't turn out well."1009Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZgbZdZGXd
"Where did you hear that from?" I asked as I quickly turned to look at her.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAHPPoTOrOI5
"Too much gossip among 1009Please respect copyright.PENANACATBLqR1bj
the working staff at the hotel," said Lee with a smile. "Don't worry 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAEph7uUs7B4
though. They said it didn't seem so serious."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAo51L2Cfusy
"Wait? You understand Korean?" I grew even more surprised when that thought suddenly dawned on me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAxnivcKysY9
"Dah," said Lee, rolling1009Please respect copyright.PENANAVrYpb4X6tn
her eyes and the elevator doors slid open. "Why do you think I was able1009Please respect copyright.PENANAWiDq6Mspj0
to hold Yang Hyun-suk and Collins for so long at YG? Oh, and don't tell1009Please respect copyright.PENANAtARTXR0znH
Collins. He doesn't know either."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJn4HT5cPZn
"You never told me what happened," I said as the two of us stepped out of the elevator.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZrk7sDdMxK
"Well, I think the both 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAI5fDEkVLpt
of us have a lot of catching up to do after this," said Lee as we both 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7bFy5Et8Cw
walked down the hallway and turned round the corner. "Right now, it's 1009Please respect copyright.PENANACBBvlKDhmO
showtime."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAdtGgOSUILv
It was showtime indeed. I1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMBbhYj8OAV
found Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and G-Dragon talking amongst themselves in1009Please respect copyright.PENANABmsH388y29
the hallway. Behind them was the door that led to the conference room. I1009Please respect copyright.PENANArTiqq116yk
could hear voices of the reporters behind the door and I felt my palms 1009Please respect copyright.PENANApK5GrUWlhx
starting to sweat. I wasn't such a fan of interviews and I hated them.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAGfZj05vcsq
"Ah, here she comes," said Yang Hyun-suk as he noticed Lee and I approach. "You're looking very lovely today."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAjhEXg5fxBV
I bowed my head at him and said slowly, "gomawoyo (고마워요) (thank you), Hyun-suk Sajangnim (사장님) (Boss)."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAXaSPHX55m4
"I'm impressed," said Yang Hyun-suk, with a smile on his face. "You're really learning."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQaw3d2X0gc
"Well, I try to do the best I could," I said.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9fe82lNK76
"Sam really knows how to adapt to the environment she's in," said Collins. "No wonder she's so smart."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcKl4eLqSPp
"No doubt about that," said Yang Hyun-suk. "And she's looking really lovely today, isn't that right, GD?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAi8ZFLqIMN3
My heart almost skipped a1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZidy2juBR4
beat as I turned to look at G-Dragon who was also looking at me. For a 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZbID7YW90J
moment, he didn't reply and I was scared at what he was going to say.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAwetk1Sw3Zw
Surprisingly, he managed1009Please respect copyright.PENANA5OWa3rDc6m
to put up a smile on his face. For a moment there, his smile seemed 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAE1kQ9OfX5y
genuine, but I could feel the negative energy behind it.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAeYkTyxZ4ld
"Yes, she does look lovely today," G-Dragon replied.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAAE29RpsSKQ
I didn't know whether I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANADmc1zqfZFp
should run or remain where I was. I couldn't stand this any longer. I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAd3NrcVpjUM
felt he was some psychopathic killer ready to jump on me when no one was1009Please respect copyright.PENANArESgkaEeA8
looking. And honestly, I felt pretty terrified.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAs8SDfCcA18
The door soon flew open 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAaORVPwz0PB
and someone came to inform us that everything was all set and ready to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANARySuPzIsvr
go. I breathed out heavily as I tried to calm myself and we walked 1009Please respect copyright.PENANABTgr8TLaKU
towards the door. My palms were still sweaty.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAnlp3WqTekv
"Hey, don't worry about a thing," said Lee as she reached me to the door. "You'll be alright."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAIXHUScJQF3
All I could do was nod my head at Lee and I stepped in to the conference room first with G-Dragon behind me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6VSVqay7ch
The flashing lights of 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAu0CKh9arAq
the cameras flashed around me. They blinded my eyes for a moment, but I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAD91dmDe2HA
pretended not to flinch as I continued to walk up to the small podium 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcgCYlpquDs
and there stood a table with four chairs.1009Please respect copyright.PENANApR3u058A5O
I got up to the podium 1009Please respect copyright.PENANACKSBsoD2QY
and I was guided where to sit. There were four chairs behind the table 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAR4pK7WvgBY
and I sat in the middle and G-Dragon sat next to me. Collins sat to my 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAmpDMGpyT7d
left while Yang Hyun-suk sat to G-Dragon's right.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAGxG3w8pZcz
The bright lights of the1009Please respect copyright.PENANALUGVmU1OtX
flashing cameras continued to flash in front of my eyes and it took 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAVc0WYbQpSc
time to regain my vision. I soon noticed that there were a lot more 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ6PKDg7c1
reporters and camera men in the conference room than I had anticipated. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9ddP4YJzU7
My hands were as sweaty as hell and I felt them shivering. I bet this 1009Please respect copyright.PENANASdrFv2wMhx
interview was going live on national TV because I noticed video cameras 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAar6RKCrDAS
around the room.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAn2BsIyCRwM
"Good morning, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAdxdQBVIF12
everyone," said Yang Hyun-suk through the set of microphones that were 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAaMoF4uFnge
in front of him on the table. "We may now proceed with the interview. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMSy7ctIBiU
You may begin to ask your questions."1009Please respect copyright.PENANALpwEJkGhQW
The thing I always hated1009Please respect copyright.PENANAAM8hotwk23
about interviews, was that reporters could ask the dumbest questions, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAX5VTNaZnyN
the personal ones, the most hurtful ones, the most confusing ones and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAOc5vOQycrA
the inappropriate ones. I hoped and prayed that the first question 1009Please respect copyright.PENANALxf9lQruAG
wasn't going to be any of the five I had in mind. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANArOL8XURfL0
A lady among the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8KsfKLayS
reporters raised her hand and Yang Hyun-suk told her to proceed. I had 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAYbzgihamSd
my fingers crossed. I always hated such moments.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA1GiazzM5FF
"I'm Mi Sun from MBC 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAmzjriZ9nNB
TV," said the reporter. "On Tuesday this week, a video of YG's own 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAop2GzC1LbN
phenomenal artist, G-Dragon, and Samantha Glasson, also known as B.K, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANALKmg7H6A9d
was released on YouTube and almost became a worldwide trend. My 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMiQUyxzCAg
question, probably on everyone's mind is, are the two of them dating?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAY0I2EWY0HW
Yang Hyun-suk answered, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAjTxMO4cZeX
"we can assure you that the two of them aren't dating. That video wasn't1009Please respect copyright.PENANAtaiGVHSa6p
supposed to be aired on YouTube."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAHYJDNjive2
"If it wasn't supposed to be aired, then who did this and why?" the reporter asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAYYFjXkQBpw
Ah, oh. Was this the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAEgUU2CN40p
part where either G-Dragon and I were supposed to answer the question? 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAikOxyeEIgk
If so, I wasn't ready to tell them that my very own best friend had done1009Please respect copyright.PENANAaBcOSLU1eB
all this. I feared of what the outcome may be.1009Please respect copyright.PENANASVxubQVhJ8
"The person who took the video was none other than our very own, Zoey," Collins answered.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAq6KnPNV76K
From the corner of my 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJIKVIBTilM
eye, I looked at Collins. I knew Collins wouldn't want to make Zoey look1009Please respect copyright.PENANATrhMIM3Yia
bad for any reason at all, but it looks like he and Yang Hyun-suk were 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAe9Aw1MiVTO
sticking to the truth. I might as well just do the same.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhYhWUtoSKX
Another reporter, a man this time around, raised a hand and Yang Hyun-suk allowed him to speak.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbhFVLfUVdL
"Thank you, my name is 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAG6Y3FCSj6z
Jin Soo from KBS," said the male reporter. "I think a lot of people 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAlGUqbpOmqI
would want to know after hearing all of this, why would Zoey post that 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA0s3ei6Psd4
video? From the look of things, what was going on between GD and BK 1009Please respect copyright.PENANARkliN9QjVV
seemed like a private affair, or was the video all for show?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAOGga87imi7
This was what I feared. I1009Please respect copyright.PENANAWwuUjFX7Ee
bet a lot of our fans were thinking G-Dragon and I were actually dating1009Please respect copyright.PENANABWdI27NgZ0
and had high hopes. Now that people know the truth, it would crush the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAfODGNIc2Mi
fans and Zoey would end up being the villain. But telling the truth was 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQkhcUlQTBP
really the best option. It wouldn't seem right, now that GD and I were 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAVtGjcMfCb2
clearly not on good terms at the moment, to tell the whole world a lie.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAoeyPMVM6fX
"I think I'll answer that question," said G-Dragon.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAEBCKPAxgTG
For a moment, my heart 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAgWbx2IFzz6
almost skipped a beat as G-Dragon spoke through the mic. I turned to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkcWC13kpg7
look at him. I just hoped he wasn't going to say anything that would 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbGW9xLmVe8
raise more questions from the reporters.1009Please respect copyright.PENANASORBXdaOp6
"The video you saw on YouTube wasn't for show," said G-Dragon. "All that was actually real."1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6WiEYuqkS7
"And you allowed Zoey to take the video?" the male reporter asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANABPRnS39z26
"No, apparently, we never realised that Zoey was taking the video until it was already too late."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAalzLmCh1WU
"But why did she do all that? Can you explain what her intentions were at the time?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANA5JPHxu3QBq
I knew G-Dragon wasn't 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAWYn9j1nm6L
going to answer that question because no one knew Zoey better than I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAiE8QHhvjji
did. So without realising it, I stepped in.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAchIEW89RAg
"I know what Zoey did by1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkutUGXYf4v
releasing the video has raised a lot of questions in everyone's mind," I1009Please respect copyright.PENANAIQwmMkQ35M
said, confidently. "Many of our fans had high hopes that GD and I were 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAoqTG1uvWhn
dating, but that's not the case. What happened was nothing but a 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6UQ80KaivO
misunderstanding."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAmbkiEPMh68
Immediately I said those1009Please respect copyright.PENANAGJhK9wvxDO
words, everyone's eyes were on me now, including those around the world1009Please respect copyright.PENANAej3GTyaPem
probably watching on their television screens or devices. Yang 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAfNoe9dWBdn
Hyun-suk, Collins and G-Dragon also stared at me. The camera lights kept1009Please respect copyright.PENANAeTu559ZESm
on flashing in my face like crazy. I wish I could tell the camera men 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFyHymGtYZ2
to stop because the flashing lights were so annoying. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAO7uGEesnkB
I continued before any 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAmxlSKZkEOg
reporter could ask what I meant. "The truth is, what was going on 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJEqKVargUo
between GD and I was real. He gave me chocolates and roses because he 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAsY6tAttiE2
was trying to make up for not being there for me the previous day and to1009Please respect copyright.PENANAX1bPo3uoOQ
congratulate me on making it on the Elle Korean Magazine Cover. So, him1009Please respect copyright.PENANAKroFAKT5Kz
giving me those gifts were more like saying 'congratulations' and 'I'm 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAEOtVkC46PQ
sorry for not being there' kind of thing."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8i0ZgowJQ
For a moment, no one 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAp6d96Zh5Px
said a word, not even the reporters. I turned to Collins, who gave me a 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA5kCrtsir57
nod to go on. I continued to stare at the audience of reporters and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANABAfrwkcJNJ
camera men. I could feel G-Dragon's eyes on me though. But that 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA5acHSZR6yC
shouldn't intimidate me. I cleared my throat and went on.1009Please respect copyright.PENANACKkXk33dDj
"And knowing Zoey, she's1009Please respect copyright.PENANAsGL3Lh3L1A
one who likes to capture such beautiful moments. So, she decided to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAk2xMdSCAE9
take a video of what was happening. And before we could realise what was1009Please respect copyright.PENANAjCoVxiXzrT
going on, it was already too late. She first posted it on her fan base,1009Please respect copyright.PENANAxxUPly0rDX
which she usually does. But before she could take it down, her loyal 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAj1mkDDEZTk
fans had already seen it and probably one of them posted it on YouTube. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAfDLH3fwZDv
And that's how everything came to be up to this point."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAuRiqYxxkSO
All the reporters who 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAroondxpjXY
were taking down what I was saying, started muttering among themselves 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAi67ubAK6Cs
as though we were in a debate room. I didn't know what they would 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAI9xq1taEiK
obviously be talking about and I hoped that they weren't going to ask a 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAywwSdftsaA
question that might just intimidate me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAjb0UGG1B3E
The same female reporter from MBC raised her hand and she was told to proceed. I feared for my life.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAtBPeNiywE5
"So what you're trying to say, B.K, is that all this is Zoey's fault?" the reporter asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAi3t37uigiz
"Well, I could blame 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9bAvRDlP9N
Zoey because she was the one who took the video in the first place and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAiXpXoGdnOC
without our permission. But it's not entirely her fault," I replied. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAewuzMtD5Yi
"I've grown to know her very well because she's my best friend. I know 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhtsEIPeaAX
she didn't mean any harm by raising people's hopes that we were dating. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAg7jdmXiH3x
Knowing her, she thought she could try to capture the great friendship 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkDxGnitxYZ
that G-Dragon and I have."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJi9918oGkj
What was I saying? I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAd2xZBNTY1A
know I am being honest and genuine, but saying it with G-Dragon by my 1009Please respect copyright.PENANArgPrnfFk5b
side felt awkward. If people got to know that G-Dragon and I had quiet a1009Please respect copyright.PENANADhHFS5JJ8j
misunderstanding the other day, it would surly raise questions and the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAokqKL80wbC
whole world would criticise me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6jzUYz2oTF
I stared at G-Dragon 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA4R11Z62Rbj
beside me and he was still staring at me. I could see it in his eyes 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA0DIYGKwQhd
that me saying all that felt wrong, but all that happened way before the1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkiGU6TpUUj
argument. I was hurting as I said all that and I wish I could turn back1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7vQyljh7b5
the hands of time and set things right.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAKaAOL3BI2x
"And also, she's always 1009Please respect copyright.PENANACm7H4RJrTt
admired G-Dragon," I continued, as I turned to the audience. "So, I bet 1009Please respect copyright.PENANATRNKiIpszs
she was trying to capture G-Dragon's great personality. We all know how 1009Please respect copyright.PENANARTAAYZ4QCD
much of a good guy he is, so, that's why Zoey did all that."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAHlkurCLOzO
I think I had said 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbBO8xyYHY5
enough and I kept quiet. This was awkward and I could feel that G-Dragon1009Please respect copyright.PENANApFIFTfMbk8
was feeling the same way. All I wanted was for this interview to be 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vq9vvWjaT
over and get out of the conference room.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAgBg4gpBRRy
"So, you two are clearly not dating?" the reporter asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAT8LPsSJyx9
"No," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAyjO4GvWxwm
Okay. That felt weird. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAjwVR4RhBRK
My eyes flew at G-Dragon and he also turned to look at me. That made 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAEPkBMyvB0O
things even more weirder. I bet those watching on national TV would 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAAbZEeYu7Sf
either find all of this a show or something beyond the ordinary.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAfUOXgYVXEJ
"And you guys wouldn't 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAUoWhmawugx
like to date in future?" the reporter continued. "Because a lot has been1009Please respect copyright.PENANAOj3Hbi7T9T
said since the video came out that you two would make a great couple."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAIvVVIytZq7
"No, we wouldn't."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJGJVQgmpgJ
Dang it! We replied at 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAfLepCYtUjT
the same time, again! This wasn't going so well and we both knew it as 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA8OgAS3PNkR
we stared at each other. These were the times you would tell the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhcn7IIfCm0
reporters to mind their own business and walk away like you didn't care.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAlPHLVpLf4u
This was turning out to be just terrible.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAanKBynzHS3
"There would be no need 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAvHfVa5y6Sc
to ask such questions," said Collins. "The Toxins are here in South 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA4RMJ0QOC5L
Korea strictly for business. There would be no point for Sam and Ji Yong1009Please respect copyright.PENANA2oEPpUHRPI
to start dating when The Toxins would obviously stay here for less than1009Please respect copyright.PENANAlYyRiaueR3
a month or two."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAlCFNy7wJQh
Phew! Thank you, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAxILkdGztiv
Collins! No wonder I considered him as my top guardian angel. I was so 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFRBx7lz8KP
glad that he finally decided to step in or else I would obviously have 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAj4sxZXoXtj
told the reporter to piss off.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA0ccWMvm5V5
"So, how is the song 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAvPmEvpG8H2
coming along?" the reporter asked. "Because I heard The Toxins and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFfrXLLUIh7
BigBang had quiet a fun ride at Caribbean Bay the day before."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJxdFFAJvnb
Oh no. That question was clearly not necessary. Aargh! This was what I considered the inappropriate question.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAdbHm8PUoy1
"I don't see why you get1009Please respect copyright.PENANAqKJuPGHMKq
to ask that," said Collins. "They went out to have fun and find a 1009Please respect copyright.PENANATXehyMdncT
source of inspiration for their song. And why not at Caribbean Bay? I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAwKjzoMmuxI
know Sam and Ji Yong were supposed to be here for the interview that 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAShpgQHtQQt
day, but apparently, you all came at the last minute when they had 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAPzddDDRxBG
already made plans to go out."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFNXJfH5Nz3
I didn't know whether to1009Please respect copyright.PENANAsNRmZBELOU
be impressed that Collins is such a good liar, or I should hug him at 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA52Dc1D7aVL
the end of the interview for saving our necks. That was such a close 1009Please respect copyright.PENANACwYFcmGFgY
call.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9cfBPN2sG8
"I think time is already up," said Yang Hyun-suk. "So, if you would kindly excuse us, we have other schedules to attend to."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAvjDTOCQ0Wz
No reporter asked any 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAmUUtyQP5Hw
further questions, that meant all of this was over. Finally! I just 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMEDdoOprUP
wanted to get out of here and breathe. I needed the air because things 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAHt28V7W95q
were starting to get a little intense in here.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAzj1LiFj4kI
When we all got up from 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9tY8YxazNR
our chairs to leave, I was backing away from my chair and the back of my1009Please respect copyright.PENANANxkTPTUARW
shoe got caught with one of the cable cords on the floor. Before I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAaCCLxV4vhS
realised it, I tripped and was falling backwards. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANATJdvpZagS2
I almost screamed but before I could even reach the floor, G-Dragon caught me just in time. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA77HjsvwA42
The camera lights in 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAXSa1UeEuvo
front of us flashed like crazy because of the scene. And I couldn't help1009Please respect copyright.PENANAzCVizul9gw
but feel that all this just made things a whole lot worse.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAwL77TcgSBz
G-Dragon and I were so 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhmxuKhGucq
close and I couldn't help but blush when I looked up at him and he was 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAlpH7gYVWaT
staring down at me. I knew that he was still angry at me, but I wanted 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA8JpLXPQcvi
to forget about that and I hoped he would too. We could both carry on 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJsAoePVWda
with our lives as if all that never happened.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbDM38MlNfv
He quickly helped me to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANALZVE8APd9R
straighten up as the camera lights continued to flash before us. I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAd6LYplbsLt
stared at G-Dragon and I realised that I was still blushing. I took a 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZYbOpNRyL
strand of my hair behind my ear and cleared my throat.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZfBsrKSgnO
"Um, thanks, GD," I said to him.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJRniwSvEnc
"You should be a little more careful next time," he replied.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ5PDn4Etw
I couldn't tell if he 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAiCMIPZEMB4
said that because they were reporters around, or he really did care 1009Please respect copyright.PENANApIWwAT4Evv
despite being mad at me. That, I'll never know.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAK0xW6OrTvl
The four of us walked 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAjxLpXhNyXD
out of the conference room and I couldn't help but realise that I had 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZOSLhykQ7X
another challenge ahead now. And that was the song.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcG1tVPmeL9
***1009Please respect copyright.PENANAYWCA6XAWXU
"Sam, you were just awesome! Come here, you!" Zoey exclaimed as she ran towards me and pulled me into a tight hug.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkDsM4dKaWZ
G-Dragon and I had just walked out of the conference room and Zoey appeared out of no where.1009Please respect copyright.PENANALJ12pGtfJw
"I thought you weren't supposed to be here," I said to Zoey, still embraced in her arms.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA3z5QzpkCLy
"Well, ya," said Zoey as1009Please respect copyright.PENANA34c4BZfW8K
she pulled away from me. "I was watching the interview with the others 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAYPYnV56L6J
upstairs and when I saw how you defended me in front of those reporters,1009Please respect copyright.PENANAiz5EFaNUIn
I decided to come down here."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAsW1fAfbrW0
"You should have seen the way she came," said Lee. "If it wasn't for me, she would have come running into the conference room."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAseA914Dl0S
"Zoey, what are you doing here?" came Collins' voice behind me. Yikes! Zoey was in for it now.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA8E6XmYtPJx
"I came for my best friend," said Zoey. "Is that bad?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAwQdM4IjZLq
"At the moment, yes," 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAOYZg5dXQc3
said Collins. "Not when everyone now knows that it's all your fault that1009Please respect copyright.PENANARQBPQEXuXE
you released the video and made everyone have high hopes about Sam and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA3E2AKtDdzb
G-Dragon's relationship. It was best to keep you out of plain site of 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAl1GuNyQkLD
the reporters to keep them from asking any more questions."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMP7PZhot4L
"Come on, Collins," said1009Please respect copyright.PENANAHTxfcilEJf
Zoey, shaking her head at her manager. "Don't you know up to now that 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZTmSij61zP
whatever Sam says to the media everyone will listen and believe her? No 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAXXqaZqUpCu
one is going to be mad at me for long if not at all. You'll see."1009Please respect copyright.PENANApYQOzjh7lJ
"I don't get it," I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAXH0wRFJUlh
said, with a confused look on my face. "Why do you say no one is going 1009Please respect copyright.PENANASv16qHJfvZ
to be mad at you because of what I said?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFAtZr7db62
"You told the media that1009Please respect copyright.PENANAmaT7CsS5G1
even though I made the video, it was partly not all my fault. If you 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAsLFMQiy6Lc
want, Collins, you and I can bet on it. Everyone listens to Sam. She's 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAshHMN0492A
like some high-rank public figure. If she were to run for president, she1009Please respect copyright.PENANANMxLzXAdX9
would be instated the very same day."1009Please respect copyright.PENANANgnvaD4l53
Yang Hyun-suk, Lee, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkTGrmgtMkg
G-Dragon and I laughed at Zoey's joke, except Collins. I knew he was 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAe983ToblTh
pissed with what Zoey had said, but I had to admit, that was something 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA48BiuZkcGl
even an angry person would laugh about.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAz6ZhfgqFFj
Speaking about angry 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbsmR4WA4Rb
people, I turned over to G-Dragon who was still laughing. It felt good 1009Please respect copyright.PENANATblhkhpiFL
to see him laugh and I smiled. But very soon, he will be back to the way1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7PZIAgSUBr
he was. Just the thought of that made me swell up with sadness that I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAo7rxBxNKuY
even had to face the other way so that no one would notice it all over 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcQK1MClAUf
my face.1009Please respect copyright.PENANALEccfjAEcy
"Zoey is one person you 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAqTfiz8froE
should never throw away in your life, Collins," said Yang Hyun-suk, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAD21kNg13T2
holding Collins' shoulder with a bit of laughter on his face. "She's 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAPGkEMWI7cR
just hilarious."1009Please respect copyright.PENANABxarOkbLZj
"Ya, she's one of a kind," said G-Dragon.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAjN2w6Jovaz
"Ah, and how could I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAU1VySJbbtX
forget about my lovely G-Dragon," said Zoey, as she came to stand beside1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJjH6DGuhEB
G-Dragon and hooked her hand around his elbow. "You looked awesome 1009Please respect copyright.PENANADLXhmJOkEz
today. And handsome too."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFa1s7tRTK6
"Wow, looks like Sam was right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "You do admire G-Dragon."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAegfet5Hiag
"Ya, no one knows me better than Sam," said Zoey with a grin. "If it were possible, I would gladly have dated G-Dragon."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAV83YUtk3WJ
"Don't even think about it," said Collins, pointing a finger at Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMik1aE1Hmw
"I know. 'We're here 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9WRwhTNLKA
just to collaborate with BigBang, yadda, yadda, that means no dating 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAxyxfVIFS3h
anyone of them.' I still remember that rule," said Zoey rolling her 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7RA9R5jUaa
eyes.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAinPIxhbVXT
"Sometimes I wish I could kill you," said Collins, shaking his head.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAwwSC4JWpSJ
"But you can't, because you love me just as I love you, Collins," said Zoey, with a huge grin on her face.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAir7SpM8qsI
"Hilarious," said Yang 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFVy5fr97Hz
Hyun-suk. "We better get going. You three have to get that song ready, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA58Z5DgEfIV
while we, have other things to attend to."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAqCSbHsK9ko
Oh, the song. For a 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAime43WxNO0
moment, I never wanted Yang Hyun-suk or anyone else to mention it. I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAxchNvwrijY
felt my heart beat faster and I felt like judgement day had finally 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAEQdYc4d08m
come.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAT1ANTuW8ZD
We all found ourselves 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9I9oMyPCfC
in the elevator and I was quiet the whole way. The two managers were 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAzvE3L77RPA
busy talking about something important, while Lee, G-Dragon and Zoey 1009Please respect copyright.PENANACudniVf2YI
were talking about the interview.1009Please respect copyright.PENANASJFft2waza
When the elevator 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAvkZlWyeTtG
stopped, Zoey, G-Dragon and I got out and we dropped off on the floor to1009Please respect copyright.PENANAzc7FDfcxXD
the recording studios. Our managers and Lee continued on their way 1009Please respect copyright.PENANADQTSS4bnyi
upwards in the elevator probably heading for Yang Hyun-suk's office.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA8lfVZ3rJcK
While the three of us 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA46sgsqxOOY
walked along the hallway, heading for one of the rooms, I couldn't help 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAtK86vIGvBE
but fall behind G-Dragon and Zoey as the two walked ahead of me 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAdWnVpu0yi6
alongside each other. The two were so deep in their own little 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAa2lqubJIDT
conversation, I didn't feel like listening or joining them. At that 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAEMlkT22DAr
point, I felt like I didn't matter.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAsnBwh7cKsZ
We found ourselves in one of the recording studio rooms and we found all our group members waiting for us.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAy1uLlmRMvx
"You're back!" Christine1009Please respect copyright.PENANAISlXqrblug
ran towards us, coming straight for me and pulling me into a hug. "You 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA1lIZTguyu6
were so brave standing up for Zoey like that."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAV1QyN4D4qp
"You know I don't like interviews," I said, trying to put up a smile. "I was actually scared."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAqHddCgLrfD
"You didn't seem that way," said Taeyang. "You looked very calm as though you knew what you were doing."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAfAr0T4hNwU
"And you also looked very pretty," said TOP, giving me a wink.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAdoUZrBmVGi
"Um, th-thanks," I said while my cheeks blushed after Christine had pulled away from me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA4jrGbtohUk
"Ya, you're looking 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbNU8YJiTKR
prettier even now," said Seungri, staring at me with dreamy eyes. "I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkKvrOOXc3b
would've come down there in the conference room and kissed you in front 1009Please respect copyright.PENANArPHQyMeif5
of the whole world."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAHSRG5qCczx
Daesung who stood beside1009Please respect copyright.PENANAeWOG57qQL4
him slapped him on the shoulder. Seungri whined in pain while he held 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbQqcpTqnrO
his shoulder and stared at Daesung.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAv7UcxGXl3Y
"What?" Seungri asked. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAI8ll8xDhVC
"You only want to cause trouble, do you? You should learn to respect Sam, you know," said Daesung.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkRKH57qSt8
I couldn't help but get the feeling that Daesung was a little jealous. I couldn't help but smile to myself.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMGxcNp9wcu
"Hello! Isn't anyone going to talk about the little scene that happened at the end of the interview?" Daniel asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANANdVCBEBReK
"Oh, the part where 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAeqNsDMKaGa
G-Dragon saves Sam from falling?" Zoey asked. "If you're worried that 1009Please respect copyright.PENANALKEC5rHe9B
people would find that romantic, I highly doubt it."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAa7wXVLoMOM
Highly doubt it? If 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA0LVvpzgQ9V
Daniel was thinking the same way I had earlier, people would start to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANArEfAqlEZRA
make up a love story that barely even existed.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAthejoY9ZJ3
"Well, fans do like to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANASfC5vzN6Lc
make out a love story out of small things," said Taeyang, scratching his1009Please respect copyright.PENANAVvKWmN2oAN
head. "I wouldn't be surprised if that happens."1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9AL7vOCTOp
Oh, no. Looked like 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAi2gSar1fNy
Taeyang was also on this one too. I wished for someone to change the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAUxyrZU4PL9
subject. This was starting to feel awkward, especially with G-Dragon 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAKxHyb3PgSr
standing right in front of me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAYOuXAXGuxw
I stared at G-Dragon and1009Please respect copyright.PENANATR0oEnSLKF
I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't want to hear a 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAyXVPrYeo2u
single word concerning love stories. We had other serious things to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAi0YjWeIfPA
think about.1009Please respect copyright.PENANACe2la9KWtC
"Can we drop that for 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6ht1vULDtj
now and focus on the song instead?" G-Dragon suggested. "We don't have 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA8P31LFwRBv
much time and we need to work on it right away."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAlosKEFAfM1
"GD's right," I said. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA4MVl2SZt3S
"We all saw the reporter ask on how much progress we've made and Collins1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6caRSDu4Fg
made an effort to cover for us. So, for the sake of our managers, let's1009Please respect copyright.PENANApQdNviVrWJ
get to work."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcGOg1DafUc
"But we have to vote again, remember?" TOP reminded us. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQRrTjibJAz
Everyone fell silent and1009Please respect copyright.PENANAV2quRTXT6e
the room felt awkward. It was like the ghost of yesterday still haunted1009Please respect copyright.PENANAzQa95QaXoa
us even now. Again, I still felt like it was all my fault.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA4jnSDgzsjm
"Well, we all agreed yesterday to vote again," said G-Dragon. "So let's get settled and get this over with."1009Please respect copyright.PENANACb5R3tgpCu
When everyone went to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAeitBiCndlW
settle down on the black leather seats, I stood on the same spot, deep 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA0YD9jIU5L0
in thought. Was all of this worth it? The last thing I wanted was for 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcquyI3wbSM
all of us to be divided because of my stupid suggestion. Maybe I was 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA2PIGsQHXlk
wrong this whole time and I shouldn't have done all of this in the first1009Please respect copyright.PENANAVlp2KpEOBA
place.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAAcA5FP8a9Q
"Hey, Sam are you alright?" TOP asked. "You seem troubled."1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7NLSLyreGO
I came back to reality and I saw everyone staring at me with worried looks on their faces, except G-Dragon.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAodWePRL8nl
"Sam, are you okay?" Zoey asked when I didn't answer. "Something is up and you don't look so good. Tell us. What's wrong?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANATBkH5tcKBZ
I still didn't say a 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkElJg2qqER
word as I played around with my fingers. I took in a deep breath and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAstyEz3y25w
breathed out with my eyes closed, clenching my hands into fists. When I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANANGYrpRamSq
opened my eyes, I looked on at the others and said:1009Please respect copyright.PENANAS1CtUMLW6I
"This voting thing is 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAqXigSM126Z
pointless. I take back what I said yesterday. It's for the best if 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7t3WqhWvj
G-Dragon and I work on the lyrics for the song instead."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAnRyy1wYXt5
Again, the room fell 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAS5HFDzyE1P
into an awkward silence. Everyone's eyes were on me and they looked 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA0LuGLH2tQN
surprised, except for G-Dragon. I couldn't tell whether he was smirking 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAHbA34bkm6I
or he decided to play stoic for a change.1009Please respect copyright.PENANABydKIOaWlC
"Wait, what?" Daniel asked. "Why?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAaDlOkKC5sR
"Because, Daniel, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANASFHQJopBko
nothing is going to change," I said, looking at my brother. "The same 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAKM6l3gDJv9
thing will happen even today when we vote. It will end up in a tie 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAja2TFxpWyV
again. So, what's the point? I bet a lot of you have thought of it the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAj3g16dt2sJ
same way, haven't you?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAjD5L1q3u3D
No one said a word as they all looked at each other, apart from G-Dragon, who still had his eyes on me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAPpzjaxmqkq
"I think it's best this 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAh6Drd6eI3i
way," I said, grabbing everyone's attention again. "We're going nowhere 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAdlTZhG1QjJ
like this and I should have realised it sooner."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAtqdaN5NUrN
"Well, it's about time you came to your senses," said G-Dragon.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcTmWXCYrUd
I felt like I had been given a slap on the face. And OUCH! It hurt like hell. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAYhizNt0U62
"That's a little harsh, don't you think?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANADdJIL5s7iE
"Well, it's true, isn't it?" G-Dragon asked, with his eyebrows raised.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAsiZWDBgc98
"Well, at least I'm bold enough to even admit that I was wrong."1009Please respect copyright.PENANA2m6RxRqmNK
"And you want me to give you credit for that, Samantha?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAe49WutKzaf
Samantha? Really? He 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7Unyty52Sl
called me by my full name. Okay, it was clear he was still mad, but he 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAL4zWDRlA43
shouldn't be expressing his anger in front of everyone else like that. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAdevhioVYKp
He should be doing it to me and me alone. I was ready for what's to 1009Please respect copyright.PENANABSiqJN6JyX
come, but not with our group members around.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcIMZMB7FKR
"I don't think we should argue here," I said. "Why don't we go some place else and talk?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAfI3Vs780rg
"And why should we?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANALOAZWNXftQ
"It's not right and you know it. If you want to get personal with me, at least do it with no one around."1009Please respect copyright.PENANATzhjO5Hi13
"Oh, and now you're trying to play the good girl trying not to hurt anyone else?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAdR2Qa2GkfJ
"That's what I'm meant to do, GD. This isn't right."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkyDK8w9aoh
"Sorry, Sam, but I'm 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQFB5EUjhJo
rather comfortable here," G-Dragon leaned back on the chair with his 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAL8HHaZ2Cyj
hands behind his head and crossing his leg above the other.1009Please respect copyright.PENANACHwQO3FpJE
I shook my head in 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFIcIixtVjm
disbelief. G-Dragon was totally unbelievable. Right now, I wasn't sure 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA33V2WtQjSd
whether to hate him or just feel sorry for him.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAC3hPpWUqRJ
"Fine, then we'll stay here then," I said.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAIZA04CzRuK
"That's more like it," said G-Dragon, with a smirk on his face. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAnS4myMkfR8
"You're so stubborn," I rolled my eyes at him.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAITrQ0bDL7l
"Ya, well, I was born this way."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAVlurCRPOop
"Can we please start working on the song now?" I asked. "It seems like we don't have much time left."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAxIyWjoSMPc
"Okay, let's start."1009Please respect copyright.PENANA0fEdBvhHGY
"Umm, sorry to interfere1009Please respect copyright.PENANAAxIyRliyB1
in all of this, but are you serious right now?" Zoey asked, looking 1009Please respect copyright.PENANADjtC8vs7yw
surprised and confused at the same time.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA2HpLw2QRAI
"What's wrong?" G-Dragon asked, shrugging his shoulders.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAg6vnwzenX1
"I don't know if you are1009Please respect copyright.PENANALFE1EELI0J
seeing this, but you two look like you're about to tear each other's 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA31nV5UZLM1
throats out. Doesn't that bother you? And you want to work on the song 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbB8Fgt6jWm
together? Today?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAKLVgK7gTzI
Zoey was right. What was happening now looked more like the beginning of World War III, if not the end of the world.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAsfJHWNACB8
"I'm sorry, Zoey," I said. "But do we have a choice?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANACqtzdrtLOT
"Well, I have one. Why 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAAP1py0r7Jm
don't you two take a break from each other? You're scaring me and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAGvmGoPeZvp
probably the whole lot of us too. Why don't you two cool down and work 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAuMzUGmnbHz
on the song tomorrow?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAVGDLMFt8tj
"Zoey's right," said Taeyang. "You two need to chill out. You both seem angry at each other."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQQNy6ymiLJ
"I'm not the angry one, he is," I said, pointing my finger at G-Dragon. "I'm just being reasonable!"1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbDZkGwYGdQ
"I know, Sam. You've 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA9icgzw9m3L
both agreed to work on the song together, but you can't go on like this.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQAf0AcTz4a
Who knows what may happen if we leave you two alone."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAihWolabFi8
"Tae is right," said Mike. "I don't want to go back home with your beheaded dead body. Mum will kill us."1009Please respect copyright.PENANACWbUDPs7Io
"Okay, fine," I said, rubbing my temples and taking a deep breath. "You're right. Even I can't work like this."1009Please respect copyright.PENANABF55ZrXYiP
I tried to calm myself 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA3dd18p7xNY
down, trying to clear my head. I let my anger get the better of me. In 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA61NDmndjn5
fact, I couldn't tell if all this was anger or I was just annoyed 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhbGxmizgR6
because G-Dragon was acting bigheaded.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA0xxHtbBz21
"Looks like we will work1009Please respect copyright.PENANA2fvypjVcTc
on it tomorrow then," said G-Dragon as he slowly got up from his seat. 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAntVbE9Nz2p
And with his hands in the pockets of his jeans, he slowly walked towards1009Please respect copyright.PENANAWQGf31nk6d
me.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6nU5lpmvTE
The last thing I wanted 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQbdZlSz8TB
was a face to face confrontation with him because if he was going to do 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAcmIHXjasDa
or say something funny, I didn't know what I was going to do. But no. I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAf3TbZzlouF
wasn't going to let my anger get the better of me again. I didn't want 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAVRrXQadKC5
to be angry at him. If there was anyone to be angry at, it was myself.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAAYdcpnnLJ6
G-Dragon came close and 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA7eJGfqwcaP
he stared at me with his intimidating eyes. At first, those eyes used to1009Please respect copyright.PENANAtNyVCxVKet
make me melt like jelly, but now, I couldn't tell where that feeling 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQzBBclZmGT
went. Maybe it's because those eyes weren't there to intimidate but they1009Please respect copyright.PENANASHO8Lp5cUx
were full of anger too.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAWmmpywys2N
He stopped a few inches 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFcvLaXO4Vv
away from me and I didn't back away. Earlier on, I would. But this time,1009Please respect copyright.PENANATHvqnqufxA
I wasn't afraid anymore. I was tired of being scared.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAwO7bGUIiS6
"We'll meet tomorrow soon after practise, capish?" G-Dragon asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAqRYThqFGMY
"Capish," I replied, without any hint of emotion.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA6lslZWN7Og
"Good. You better get some aspirin and rest. It looks like your head is about to explode and we don't want that, do we?"1009Please respect copyright.PENANA1l3uzvFoDS
"No, we don't."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZjmRLve6Bf
"That's my little 1009Please respect copyright.PENANALDbMXMQKKt
kitty." G-Dragon smiled at me and walked away, our shoulders brushing 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA5fCIp5Fnd9
each other, and he went out through the door.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAuF1l5X2VaG
"Well, that was close," said TOP. "For a second, I thought this whole place was about to blow up."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAR9CezRlQHr
"Ya, I thought I was going to watch a Mortal Kombart fight," said Mike.1009Please respect copyright.PENANANKEhssViye
"Seriously? You're 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAa5umyV14mb
bringing Mortal Kombart into this?" I asked Mike with my eyebrow raised.1009Please respect copyright.PENANApUjEA0xklI
Somehow, I wanted to laugh at the joke, but I couldn't.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAqIzXXj3fQj
"Come to think of it," 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAbDOfYsP83c
said Zoey, staring at Mike. "You're right. Remind me of those two 1009Please respect copyright.PENANABidpsEVnb5
characters that hate each other so much."1009Please respect copyright.PENANApvne97D0mw
"Scorpion and Subzero," said Daniel.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAWMFD2HSBo5
"So, in this case, Scorpion is G-Dragon," said Seungri, who seemed to be enjoying himself with this.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkVLRZQpulE
"Ya, it suits him since Scorpion and dragon kind of go together because of fire," said Daesung.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZBI2kp9W6G
"Guys, are you seriously listening to yourselves right now?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANASHpl2iS9jZ
But no one answered me as they continued their Mortal Kombart fantasy.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFKwudGKY79
"And Sam is Subzero," said Daniel.1009Please respect copyright.PENANANwQ2QusdvX
"Ya, because she is all cool and chilled like ice and doesn't crack under pressure," said TOP.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2eOwAPbmG
"True, but also because Subzero is her favourite Mortal Kombart character," said Christine.1009Please respect copyright.PENANADgpHoe8Pgp
"Oh, ya, I forgot about that," said Mike.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAitFw6gQ6Fc
This was getting ridiculous and I shook my head in disbelief.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAkP3nS4MNwE
"So this whole thing is like a fire and ice relationship?" Taeyang asked.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAPgXqzZh8IG
Oh great! Not Taeyang too! The argument G-Dragon and I had created a story in these guy's heads.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAMlZk7JMxsF
"Ya, I'm already 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAb35Dfb9wbo
imagining it," said Zoey, staring off into a distance, obviously in her 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAnsjA2su6rS
imagination. "G-Dragon and Sam, like Scorpion and Subzero."1009Please respect copyright.PENANATAXiyrCvXJ
"Ya, I can imagine it too," said Mike, also staring off into a distance.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAOKOk98sJwD
"Sam looks so hot in her Subzero outfit," said Seungri, also deep in thought and biting his lower lip.1009Please respect copyright.PENANArggiD17mLP
"So hot," said TOP, nodding his head absent mindley.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAhndc7p9J0W
"So does GD in Scorpion's outfit," said Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4WDJTWTC2
"Ya, their relationship is now like fire and ice," said Daesung. "Let's just see who wins."1009Please respect copyright.PENANAb88OR7VtwO
As I watched the others 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA3nvTfkdFwh
share out their silly ideas of how the fight would turn out, I couldn't 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAqMKuA8Pbrj
help but realise that they were right. Right now, GD and I weren't okay 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFaP1WQYGIi
at all. To the outside world, we were friends, but to ourselves and our 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4hHn5RmUN
closet friends, we weren't. One moment we were smiling at each other but1009Please respect copyright.PENANAuE7d8tE7mh
soon afterwards we were fighting again.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAiBjTvXmUNf
I didn't know how all 1009Please respect copyright.PENANATpfp0hakEz
this was going to end, but if G-Dragon and I didn't resolve our issue 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA1RfSZ5cLnG
soon, we might not just hurt each other but also the people around us, 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAiamG4RLFs5
especially our group members. And I wasn't going to let that happen.1009Please respect copyright.PENANA4j1mhavxWV
If that was the case, I 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAYx1EmxgYYW
had to win this no matter what. I didn't care if I was going to end up 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAXzzH76EbjI
getting burnt. I created this mess and I had to fix it no matter the 1009Please respect copyright.PENANAFI92dv3d6J
cost. Even if it meant I had to play along like the others. That 1009Please respect copyright.PENANA3f7hWjD18O
G-Dragon is Scorpion and I am Subzero.1009Please respect copyright.PENANAr92FfwNyJp
That he is fire and I am ice.
