"I feel like I'm back at school all over again," Zoey complained as she scratched her scalp, her hair already looking messy.1084Please respect copyright.PENANASPo5mlce9V
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAwd77ZvFv4T
"Tell me about it," I said as I leaned back further on the couch. "I don't think I can take this anymore."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAhxvcy6dVun
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA1RUMQZ4Bv6
"This is tiring!" said Daniel, who had his body and his face flat on the floor.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAGCMdQds3Gb
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAeZyKWsE4sQ
"Do we really have to know all of this?" Mike asked lazily as he lay on one of the couches alone.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAJKySQRRSrb
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAX9VNpmFUFT
"Do we have any other choice?" I asked him.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAWun0SInRwZ
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA5QwUDDORUs
"Well, I've got one," said Christine, who sat beside me. "I can easily just pack up and fly back home."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAkCcEvVyTDr
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAV0LPR8Iy6F
"You're bluffing, and you know it," said Daniel, still flat on the floor.1084Please respect copyright.PENANASS8VGiL4xA
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAgCLPgSTLcQ
"Can we order coffee?" Zoey asked. "I need a lot of caffeine. Urgently."1084Please respect copyright.PENANArWvahSCuvb
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAdCeS0lnX46
"You don't need coffee," said Mike. "A healthy breakfast filled with eggs, bacon, bread, and juice is all you need."1084Please respect copyright.PENANALcMuj6xLxq
1084Please respect copyright.PENANALw6g20MevP
"Morning, Toxins," said Collins as he entered the lounge. "How's your reading going?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAabo5SluN3s
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAnnS5hqDRjJ
"Reading? It's more like studying until you're brain dead," said Zoey. "Why do we have to know all of these rules?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAhUzgO08j80
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAGQOBnokfvL
"Yeah, I thought we were visitors and supposed to be treated likewise," I said, furrowing my eyebrows. "Instead, it looks like we're back to the same old routine of following whatever the board says; only this time, it's Yang Hyun-suk."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA0TYOrxT6Ih
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAenQUmMRO4A
"And you think I would’ve done something about it?" Collins asked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA7jY7i8XWsm
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAovK1IpWKOG
"Yes!" the five of us replied simultaneously.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAVThianaBo0
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA3iEZE6Nuu1
"Things are a lot more complicated than you think. You can wrap up now. You need to go for practice."1084Please respect copyright.PENANANeH2S0mBNH
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAyOdIJ53Qax
"Finally! I thought you would never say that," said Daniel, who quickly got up from the floor.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAIvrSvA89c2
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAcvs4hFtudo
Zoey yawned and stretched her arms out. She looked like a yawning lion with her scruffy hair. "Thank goodness," she said. "Something fun to do except read this pamphlet."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAAi9ZfPaSpb
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAVDXkU7slQg
We received brochures last night explaining the guidelines we had to abide by whenever we were on YG premises. These were the same rules that YG trainees and artists follow. It didn't feel right at first, but just like Collins put it, if we want to collaborate with BIGBANG with no problems, we've got to follow the rules.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3I2hcrZvC
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAEH3sg5vdOI
We woke up an hour early before heading to practice to read in the lounge. We were still in our pajamas and looked as tired as hell from last night. However, we managed to read the pamphlet. Hopefully, we learned a thing or two.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAwRQ8FsuFqK
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAmmZCoy7ht6
"Okay, so get changed and meet us downstairs in ten minutes," said Collins.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ7edPnkIW
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAbUkJsbnjpr
"Aye, aye, captain," said Zoey, giving Collins a mocking hand salute. Collins rolled his eyes at her and left for the elevator.1084Please respect copyright.PENANArHQbEtwLB2
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA0NqnUDzquq
After we got ourselves ready, we went downstairs to the car. This time, we weren't going to the gym. We were to start training at YG. It's a good thing, but with all the rules we've got to follow, you could think twice about going.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAuGRsJ9sFgi
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAScetSAo3TO
When we got there, we went straight to one of the dance studios and started practicing, trying to shake off the feeling of following the rules.1084Please respect copyright.PENANArNAt7VR140
1084Please respect copyright.PENANARPwY8i1EcK
While we were at it, we heard the door to the studio fly open. We all stopped to look, as the door stood slightly ajar. For a moment, no one walked in. We started to wonder if there was anyone there.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAUzZSkgfFBu
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAQhRRI4wEv8
"Check who is at the door," Zoey said to me quietly.1084Please respect copyright.PENANANI8l6w4qtn
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA1BRjhUg75K
"Why should I check?" I asked, also with my voice tuned down.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAV2qBpu2eNm
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA5EukvI7hNU
"Daa, you're the leader."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAnQHYEzRrGt
1084Please respect copyright.PENANASZjEOYsdM3
"And what if there's someone out there wanting to kill me?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANA1jtuc4EXUr
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAwQeVeTRQFR
"You're one who isn't even afraid of watching horror movies. Just go check."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAMx4xjJkEqM
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAMe0LTFtM1Y
I rolled my eyes and went quietly towards the door. When I got there, I fully opened it to find no one. Before I could step out of the room to check the corridor, someone jumped in front of me, blocking my way.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA0ppEHN8Bvi
1084Please respect copyright.PENANArDYBoXkv8N
"What the.....!"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAyUASsDxaEN
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAV2r16pMN67
G-Dragon had jumped right in front of me. I almost lost balance and was falling backward. However, he quickly held my waist and pulled me towards him. We were in such an awkward position that anyone could easily mistake the two of us for wanting to kiss each other. We were so close that even my face was just inches away from his. I felt an electroshock rush down my spine from his touch as I was caught staring into his eyes.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAlYPgw7T8SJ
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAJeLPlqUDyA
"Hey, BK," said G-Dragon with a dashing smile on his face. "Did you miss me?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAn1HgJysNRD
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAppE2VOg0vp
I'm a little lost for words. Everything came as a surprise. Moreover, I couldn't stop staring into his eyes. I couldn't figure out why I was so mesmerized by just looking at them.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAm7anECNwcr
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAlZoYHGPUDA
"Hello? Sam, can you hear me?" he asked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANASVibDZ88KD
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAVakE8Yo4tr
I shook my head, and I found myself furrowing my eyebrows at him.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAsuYLyxzdQb
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAg25sj08N0S
"You should really stop doing that!" I said. "You almost gave me a heart attack."1084Please respect copyright.PENANABUkhsbCoMo
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA7CpUGfcrPU
"Really? You should check yourself first before you blame me for anything," said G-Dragon. "A moment ago, you looked like you wanted to kiss me."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAzoQBtAh9GD
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAHXWbbckgqs
My eyes almost fell out of their sockets, and I blushed like crazy. I wanted to slap him, but I couldn't raise my hand. Fighting and disrespecting others within the YG premises is a punishable offense. Then again, I wanted to slap him so badly to wipe that grin off his face.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAs7oqIFvHSE
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA9EWGypTYV9
"Aren't you going to say anything, my little kitty?" G-Dragon asked as he smirked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ1oge3D9g
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAjbnogkvdzp
"I-uh-" I'm starting to lose my patience. "I hate you, Ji Yong."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAmf5pcMEWqT
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAJXCPwU38O9
"Says the girl who's still staring into my eyes and yearning to kiss me."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAT2hD7pSTXq
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAgXPXh0xccy
That's it! I've had enough.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAhk9Ntc2xrB
1084Please respect copyright.PENANApHy6EXiZvH
I quickly pushed myself away, folding my arms. G-Dragon smiled at me. It's like he enjoys mocking me, and it's so annoying. Yet I couldn't understand why I was blushing so much. I turned to look the other way.1084Please respect copyright.PENANATlHCWvs6ON
1084Please respect copyright.PENANASXKsgZPgCL
"Ji Yong, you're here!" exclaimed Zoey as she ran towards him, and they hugged each other. "What happened to you yesterday? You never came with us for lunch."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAffJTiZLv5v
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAQqB8nNcaKx
"I had some things to take care of," said G-Dragon. "Sorry, I couldn't come."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA5qyvQ0RsRj
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAqKY8fbKl5P
"You better say sorry to Sam," said Christine. "It was her special day yesterday, and she was so upset that you didn't show."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA3SUgdXY3Cd
1084Please respect copyright.PENANApgYVjg34E6
I quickly looked over at Christine, and I gave her the "I'm going to kill you" look.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA0R1Xk5rDuk
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA14jKl3bqyD
"You see, she's still mad now," said Christine, pointing at me.1084Please respect copyright.PENANACiDPrCydlc
1084Please respect copyright.PENANADIaRKHWAfK
I rolled my eyes and placed my hand over my forehead. All this is giving me a headache.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAPmMNReSHWC
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAko3YAwkAmH
"Now I see why she is so upset with me this morning," said G-Dragon as he looked over at me with one eyebrow raised, giving me that bad boy stare. I quickly looked away, as I could still feel myself blushing.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAyuxu9svSh5
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAPc4BiJpfDR
"You better have come with something to make her forgive you, or else she will stay mad at you forever," said Mike.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAXt1JDUGpEe
1084Please respect copyright.PENANARsEwjLR9fm
OMG! The last thing I need is for my brother to join in this charade.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAuIOTY4bIXF
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAXjMhUog7Tv
"Don't worry, I've got just the thing to cheer her up," said G-Dragon.1084Please respect copyright.PENANALCN4jJ0XgJ
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAvDheS8d6xN
I rolled my eyes, as I still had my back facing the others. What could he possibly do to cheer me up?1084Please respect copyright.PENANAFOhJ1Qpqkg
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAIzn9JcS6EM
The next thing I knew, my nose caught a whiff of something flowery. Before I could turn to check where the smell was coming from, a bouquet of red roses filled my vision. I can't believe what I'm seeing. They were really roses. Moreover, they looked lovely. Where did they come from?1084Please respect copyright.PENANALm8MOawPHf
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAdaOHWJeXar
"How did you know I love roses?" I asked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAVaHZ3SqVrn
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAmckgFs1xN7
"It's easy to tell what you like nowadays with social media around," said G-Dragon, who stood right behind me and whispered in my ear.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAlOZxAN8nzx
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAQlrpXkst06
Oh, yeah. I forgot we had that.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA3MefNQxqij
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAajyfkaVpaH
I took the roses and sniffed them. They smelled lovely. At that moment, I forgot that I was even mad.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAG2KIfTUFew
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA9IR8D6CzX8
"So, you're not mad at me anymore?" G-Dragon asked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA8qhJipHeSL
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAgK58TUUXnu
I turned around to give him my answer when I stopped short at the sight of a box of chocolates in his hands. Chocolates? Why did he have chocolates?1084Please respect copyright.PENANAue4AKSz0R6
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAH5MKTCPDca
As though he read my mind, G-Dragon said, "I got a box of chocolates for you just in case the flowers wouldn't be enough to forgive me. I know you love chocolates. Well, almost every girl does."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAfsmv6u07Gu
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA1tKeIFu3na
I'm completely lost for words. I never expected this, especially from him. Was I dreaming, or was this G-Dragon standing in front of me a fake?1084Please respect copyright.PENANA1JBsdzeVBR
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAoB5Io2huSI
"Wow, thanks, GD," I said. "To be honest, I'm not mad at you for not being around yesterday."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAlKIAAcFqpo
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAanWEHXuD3b
"I know. I just wanted to make up for it. And by the way, congratulations."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAP7qJU8U5Bx
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAgAXmYcN8SK
"Thanks." I couldn't stop blushing. In addition, it felt quite embarrassing.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAuNryPr1GjX
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAQPaY4hv9Bl
"Aww, this video is going to go viral," said Zoey.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAgpKpY1DH97
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA8wDGqAAS8z
When I turned to face Zoey, I noticed that she had her phone camera pointed at us.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAqYhW4R0ijX
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAP5vBO0roAd
"Zoey, are you recording this?" I asked even when I already knew the answer.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAHwLqTOsvaJ
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAPwGj78lDwY
"Yeah, who wouldn't?" Zoey asked. "There's nothing you can do about it, though. I've already posted it online."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA6ag6IyixAH
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAmDDzWqgitC
"What! Zoey, how could you?" I stormed towards her, and I felt as if, at any moment, lightning would flash out of my eyes and zap her.1084Please respect copyright.PENANACXfCOJPFF2
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAFe26z04CDz
"Whoa!" Zoey backed away a little as I approached. "Sam, chill out. It's just a video, okay? It's nothing serious."1084Please respect copyright.PENANADHVALzkavA
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA4VGDhG4p6a
"Well, it is serious," I said, trying to keep my voice down so as not to attract attention outside the room. "You just filmed us and posted that video without our permission."1084Please respect copyright.PENANABMZHNzrxyU
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAcZeYNxcTsd
"Great, Zoey," said Daniel. "You just made Sam more upset."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAXDFcy4VYMd
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAUeiK19ri22
"Sam, relax, okay?" said Zoey. "Don't worry; I'll delete it before anyone sees it."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAtkxbPIBVRx
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAUzfGGHqtpi
When Zoey checked her phone, the look on her face made me realize that she was a little too late.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAsDH82Mp7Ux
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAo9xzvjIeh6
"Whoops," Zoey said, as she gave me an apologetic look.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAd57yD9Gjsf
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAD9iGgdDmy5
"You just made things worse, didn't you?" Daniel asked as he shook his head.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA9jmM4S7MqF
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA9850atzVxb
"I'm so dead," I said, also shaking my head.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6HtQYwaf9
1084Please respect copyright.PENANASkRtTLEC4M
"I'm sorry, Sam," said Zoey. "It already has 15 views. It's probably on YouTube since I posted it on my fan page."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAmpc87GjZSH
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAESkRMJh98P
"Sometimes I wonder why you're ever around me," I said through my teeth.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA9Cjaj8ZTEk
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAA6G8BuqO4s
"Chill, B.K." said G-Dragon as he came to stand beside me. "What's done is done. Don't worry about a thing."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAFqGC48NqHa
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAixwqfXDB8T
I took a sniff of the roses and said to Zoey, "You're so lucky I've got roses and chocolates to lighten my mood. Otherwise, I would've killed you today."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAy4XTCLBv3X
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAgPIErve7Fd
"It looks like we've got G-Dragon to thank," said Mike. "You really know how to mess things up, Zoey."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA6HvJ2TBaQC
1084Please respect copyright.PENANABck2NFAvJU
"Thanks, Mike. You're making me feel ten times worse," said Zoey with a frown.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAmWoJpMPKPg
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAsHcO9pwGkm
"Can we please put this behind us and continue practicing?" Daniel asked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANArwlQ4Jvfp1
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAfMLZy6TtL1
"To be honest, I don't feel like it anymore," I said. "Zoey just ruined my mood."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAovJyWNCLlg
1084Please respect copyright.PENANApa21pAkb0U
"Hey, I said I'm sorry," said Zoey.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAJfnbhUmcft
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAETC0cwf5wg
"Alright," said G-Dragon, clapping his hands to grab our attention. "Then we can go to the recording studio. We've got to start coming up with the song today."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAPMcuPUbik1
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA3pyZTmygOG
"Oh, I completely forgot about that," said Christine.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAl0hDc6pFTK
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAiaOXKcSoci
"Let's go freshen up first," said Mike.1084Please respect copyright.PENANApi49DlF0nf
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAkPzKZGNcPq
"Let's do that," I said as I quickly took the box of chocolates away from G-Dragon. "And I'll be taking that."1084Please respect copyright.PENANASknmVj5qF0
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAaiFTvNJcrD
I quickly walked out of the studio, with Christine and Zoey following behind me. As I walked away, I could feel G-Dragon smiling at me.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAnFPhJiDKE7
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAHFplkjcHAU
After we freshened up, we found G-Dragon waiting for us in one of the recording rooms while we waited for the other BIGBANG members to arrive.1084Please respect copyright.PENANARVw7rg1qst
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAz7VcIqOVbr
Daesung arrived first, and after he greeted all of us, he asked, "Sam, have you seen the video that's trending on YouTube right now?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAlXKsaz9Bew
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAEtK0Q54nLx
I stared at Daesung with my lips tightly sealed. I didn't have to ask what he was talking about. My eyes flew to Zoey, and she looked away without saying a word.1084Please respect copyright.PENANANLqYJ9IuuY
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA8DBoFGYK4s
"I know what video you're talking about, Daesung," I said, trying to keep my cool.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAma8bxliyfR
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAXI9UnJvyNT
"Judging by the looks of things, Zoey must have done something, right?" Daesung asked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA7iyqZ245ce
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAMxLV7n9o0D
"She surely did," I replied as I continued to stare at her like a lion would at its prey.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAAQxTBFhIlN
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAgvJqJG53ey
"Can we please stop talking about that?" Zoey asked. "I already feel awful about all of this, and you're making it worse."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAP5hVxd2h5D
1084Please respect copyright.PENANASBmp0JOGBz
The next thing we knew, Christine's phone beeped, then Mike's, Daniel's, Zoey's, and mine. We quickly took out our phones, almost simultaneously. I received a notification on YouTube about a trending video. It's the same video Zoey posted almost an hour ago, and it already has 2.1K views.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAUl1EVS956P
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAJLVKvXZilN
"It looks like people spend all their time on YouTube nowadays," I said. "How could this video get so many views in just an hour?1084Please respect copyright.PENANANOzcnAHWDf
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAAsq6gd5FGZ
"Oh. It looks like we all received the same notification," said Daniel. "Classic!"1084Please respect copyright.PENANABOSxKTHdid
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAgqahB7WaGJ
"If I were you, Sam, I wouldn't even read the comments," said Daesung, also checking his phone.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA6cgyWndIoM
1084Please respect copyright.PENANADfFxzqFsRE
"What are they saying?" G-Dragon asked with a grin on his face as he went over to Daesung.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAkOEuKelAbc
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAgQynu2t5rI
"I don't want to hear it," I said as I leaned back on the chair and put my phone back in my pocket.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAIpQgHkwTme
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAGnBjtfnIF1
"The most amazing couple ever," Christine read aloud in surprise.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1c0W0oRtF
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAOPFHZGk8Pa
"This isn't good," I said as I closed my eyes.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAoRW9S8Ryll
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAhOsJvw6243
"Aww, so cute. These people just make the perfect couple. GD is so romantic," Mike also read out.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAw3AipBVjQc
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAcNyC4tuMuI
"Please, stop reading the comments," I said, holding my head. I felt like it was about to explode.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAZ10UkgWnwM
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAyCLlkUzJGx
"Sorry, we'll try to keep it down," said Mike as he smirked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAkXIxOlXDvF
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA7JCSpBslng
"Hey, guys, listen to this one," said G-Dragon. "I hate to admit this, but these two look so..."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAwPvYorc6P2
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAHcCNJUCu0T
"Enough, please!" I exclaimed. "The last thing I need is someone reading a comment that says you and I should get married."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAsDyRv0wCLB
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAgJgDdf7tje
"You're really good at guessing, Sam," said Daesung, his eyes still on the phone. "This comment says exactly that."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAr0LHWftEel
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAEUQ1eoRHtH
I rolled my eyes as everyone looked so preoccupied with their phones. Then, all of a sudden, Zoey squealed in delight, jumped from where she sat, and dashed towards me. For a moment, I got frightened. The last thing I want is to get pushed down by the person who just made a YouTube video of G-Dragon and I go viral. She approached me like a bulldozer.1084Please respect copyright.PENANApK3BMkgPsK
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA6bazdXjwke
"Hey, Sam, do you remember this picture from the first day we came to Korea?" Zoey asked as she flashed her phone before my eyes.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAI0qkEJoZEN
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAkkyBMv8GWG
I looked at it, and there's a picture of G-Dragon and me holding hands. That's when we arrived at the hotel, and G-Dragon had helped me out of the car. We had been stuck holding hands almost the entire time.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAQfnlxIaKjP
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAeJTAGbVJk4
Someone had posted the picture regarding the video on Facebook with a comment saying, "These two brilliant people make a great couple. Their holding hands on the first day they met is a sign that they are destined for each other. I can't wait for what's coming next. #weddingbells."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAex4H0ypmJa
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAkCjBv635J7
WEDDING BELLS! Has the whole world gone mad, or am I now on another planet? I stood up from my seat and started pacing back and forth. What's happening today? I just couldn't understand anything at all.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAYGCNHNoPJz

"If you're trying to think like Einstein and come up with a formula that might just get you out of this, it's not going to work," said Zoey as she stared at me.1084Please respect copyright.PENANANDan2XZBId
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAuGiZvVCghA
"Stop talking, Zoey. It's your fault I'm like this," I said. "You shouldn't have posted that video. Now everyone will think G-Dragon and I are dating."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAIkklXqD9ZF
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAkeNy0jcF6s
"Isn't that a good thing?" G-Dragon asked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAWChQngrq7V
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAQWxovdXIQH
"No, no, Ji Yong, this is bad, real bad!" I said as I stared at him. "What will my parents think when they see this?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAv8Z7kviTtc
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAevougCrSRo
"Mum will be furious that you didn't say anything about a boy," said Mike, with a wicked look on his face.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA7Qpwx07ZuZ
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAshr2tjkhAJ
"Yeah, that's my problem," I said to G-Dragon as I pointed my finger at Mike because of what he said. "My mother."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAtV8wbp3I9e
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAzBUmVorNb7
"She'll understand," said Daesung. "We're in a world of fame. Rumors are bound to fly around anyhow."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAr3VDHbjBbE
1084Please respect copyright.PENANApJsNHODDnt
"I hope so," I said. "She won't trust me anymore because I didn't tell her first that I had a guy in my life."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA5lR2TIJ3IP
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAo7EbRNQJyz
"Mm, well, I'm lucky to be that special guy," said G-Dragon with that smile of his.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAb1kzASHnZG
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA1aKR2HelIm
"You're not helping, GD," I said as I shook my head.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAK5JOjCEIfd
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAwof0ohIWzx
The door flew open, and Taeyang, T.O.P., and Seungri came in.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAO2SnBAPDlq
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAJKBWgjKBlI
"So this is where you are," said Taeyang. "Has anyone seen what's going on?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAuY8hLnBcaW
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA04vHZhbA3U
"If you're talking about Sam and G-Dragon's video going viral, we already know," said Christine.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAUmldTft4Ns
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA5qJU1zfsYo
"Who posted the video?" T.O.P asked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAyCB4CXFmWl
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAKmpItv2kfz
I turned to look at Zoey. The rest of The Toxins, G-Dragon, and Daesung also had their eyes on her. The room fell silent, and by the look on Zoey's face, she felt uncomfortable.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAC1FOA65r8h
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6NfYBr4Vl
"Eish, can you all stop looking at me like I'm a criminal? I did say I was sorry," said Zoey.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA7MJbWgZx2S
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAKLGTq3wNb2
"I can't stay mad at you forever, Zoey, and you know it," I said with my arms folded. "But don't you ever do that again. Clear?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANA2QJRJRv6eH
1084Please respect copyright.PENANApU5W5a6Evs
"As clear as crystal," said Zoey, nodding her head like a little child.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA3uWTozT6xg
1084Please respect copyright.PENANARoOZ5xKqsc
"Okay, now that we're all here," I said, addressing everyone, "let's put everything behind us so that we can focus on the song. What do you think?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANANL6zwlp3di
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAuOJltwVLBr
"I agree. Let's start," said Seungri as he took a seat and made himself comfortable.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA0wbnLVzQ3U
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAaJHbMClQrh
Everyone gathered in a circle, and for what seemed like minutes, we were just staring at each other in silence.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAnY5VNIgRNG
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAC67CdgTcD6
"Are we going to just stare at each other?" I asked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAmgmJIUIkIU
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAwT53rLdTWH
"I thought you were spearheading this," said Taeyang.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAECwtQgSSxV
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAxKggKvbCCX
"I know I'm the leader of The Toxins, but I'm simply not the oldest in the room," I said. "Any of the BIGBANG members, especially G-Dragon, can take the floor."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAXAl4wNAlN4
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA5vMAMzRFmM
Zoey, sitting next to me, pulled me by the arm, drawing me closer to her so that she could whisper in my ear.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAnr83pUmq57
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAldF0mONYUF
"What are you doing?" Zoey asked. "Don't tell me you're going to follow every rule in that pamphlet! Why not take the reins instead?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANA5IzMJNhIYP
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAucF2X6cHCg
"Wow, I never would've thought that you took the pamphlet and read it," I whispered back with a smile.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA3iTR9wdUwn
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAWVVmVeKFCX
One of the rules stated that those who are older and more experienced take control of things. For the time being, we had to act like juniors and treat BIGBANG like our seniors. Besides, this is their home turf.1084Please respect copyright.PENANACRNQaveE6h
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAvhW0X8Fq6Y
"This is not a game, Sam," Zoey whispered. "You simply aren't going to give away this opportunity to bring out your brilliant ideas, are you?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAlZQYiZ2awp
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAJB47S6qLG4
"Do I have a choice?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANANLuk484xDY
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAsE44kZbbjT
Zoey looked at me, and I could clearly see the answer on her face. I positioned myself upright on the chair and looked on at the others, brushing off the little conversation Zoey and I just had.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAbBijbTVIr5
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAlomtYoqbHU
"Okay, so what do you think the song should be based on?" G-Dragon asked. "I would like everyone to bring out their opinions."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAOf6vKyNaBM
1084Please respect copyright.PENANACudfn9qoWc
"Let me start," said Zoey. "I think we should do a love song."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAjVifJ0UoEO
1084Please respect copyright.PENANADwsRXGVUlJ
"A love song?" Daniel asked, looking surprised. "You've never suggested a love song before, Zoey. And you aren't always up for them either."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA7pY5itBZC7
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAhWPielPhLC
"I just had a change of heart."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAZsTSVSFZq1
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAYh4h4d7HiI
"Well, that's a surprise."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAih9bMtoWBd
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAXVV9HGd7Vt
"Okay, well, I'll go with Zoey on this one," said Christine. "A love song will be perfect."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAqNPXVEZDva
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAPZRMEe4hJX
"I think that's too cheesy," said Taeyang.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAGlVoZzAExr
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAReBV1mwzca
"I also agree," I said. "We all sing pop, and the fans would expect that from us. And it has to be a smashing hit."1084Please respect copyright.PENANArlnwKZvqAL
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZQkLUS0p1
"Now you're talking," said G-Dragon. "Okay, so who all agrees with Sam that it should be an all-pop song?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAlfFVOlHliI
1084Please respect copyright.PENANASgwGkzHDp1
Everyone except me raised his or her hand. I looked over at Zoey, and she gave me a wink.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA9Yz6PBeVVg
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA1WGDZNNdDd
"Fine, we've all agreed that it's going to be a pop song, so what is it going to be about?" T.O.P. asked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAq8sUoZuWvm
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAS7qeTADzqs
"Fun and games," Mike blurted out.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAFc5E9EAYwq
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAGaRMiuhFYr
"Boys, beach parties, and stuff," said Zoey. I hit my forehead with my hand when she said that.1084Please respect copyright.PENANApZYOXXUjCb
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAPCGwpSY5U3
"Pandas," said Seungri.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAL1E9bsx9ky
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAjcaJGeuA7w
Zoey and I burst out laughing, and we both said, "Good one, Seungri!"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAhKONs1iZHM
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vo0vQH2xO
"If Zoey could suggest boys and stuff, then I would like girls," said T.O.P. with that awesome, sexy voice of his, "and stuff."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAZMEuxZI3os
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA09uiYNjpvE
"How about just making it a little more like a love song but still having that pop beat in it?" Taeyang asked.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAz2QPKlPDzi
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA65dGovM8dT
"It ain't that bad, though," said Daesung. "But I think the song should be more about fun and something funky too."1084Please respect copyright.PENANApTzbtSW64y
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA92LozUtlRr
"I like Daesung's idea," I said. "We need the song with a funky pop tune that would make anyone dance the first time they hear it."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAjq2ixdUhbP
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA6I3OAXxyfy
"So, the song should be fun and have a catchy beat," said G-Dragon, considering everything.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAsaTeuGj1ZL
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAdGRA7q4M6v
"Yeah, it should be a bit more like 'Fantastic Baby,'" said Daniel.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAiL6i9IZcRd
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA2iSFNKv7CM
"You, Daniel, just read my mind," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1084Please respect copyright.PENANATlyHgkRL8i
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAu1L6xcBYdR
"Okay, so we've got that figured out," said G-Dragon. "We'll have to start working on the lyrics and the beat."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA91hJvpMykv
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAXdwFjxCl02
"Sam, you should write the lyrics," said Zoey.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAYr44hFUxdR
1084Please respect copyright.PENANACAkzTC2hcW
I looked at Zoey and gave her a look, telling her to shut up.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAA7dk1hmDU8
1084Please respect copyright.PENANABCatCeVVfo
"Yeah, I hear she's a very good songwriter," said Seungri.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA1FgfuCRfaT
1084Please respect copyright.PENANABoFQHYJ8OX
"Well, I never write alone," I said shyly. I feel a little uncomfortable when people praise me for my songwriting.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA8QLGsmvg0S
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAh8JQUuXubJ
"I'll help you," said G-Dragon. "But everyone will have to too."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAS6AfzRylvj
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAbmP1ZfpUta
"Then, after we come up with the song, I suggest that Taeyang and Mike come up with the dance moves," I said. "That's if it's okay with you, GD. Any choreographer can come in too."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAHExQQkqIZk
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAQFXvgj6SIM
"It's okay," said G-Dragon. "The two are our best dancers, so they'll come up with moves and be our choreographers."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAehbC8lc9Uq
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAhH8nyN34Nk
"Sweet, so when do we start working on the song?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAexLqR6QAab
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAQFGZod6Sos
"We can start tomorrow," answered G-Dragon. "We can't just start writing right here and now."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA7YAoHl2ECy
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAqNXpu884b8
"So what do you suggest we do for the time being?" Daniel asked. "It's not even noon, and we've nothing else to do."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA2pAcNrFQoC
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA3NVoaF8381
"We go have fun," answered G-Dragon as he stood up from his seat.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA1HEVJ6K4Mm
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAqX1b2sF6xL
"Yay!" Zoey and Christine squealed in delight like little kids.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAFjzV4A8eKD
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAmx3FmZH98J
"Fun?" I asked, looking surprised. "And where do you think we should go and have fun?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANA8TMAm3yHGF
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAxUSGFuYweN
"Follow me, and I'll show you my jagi." G-Dragon gave me a wink and started walking towards the door.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAyNeP0B6B4g
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAm5jLJ6RiiA
"Hold on a second," I said, with a bit of grit. G-Dragon reached the door and turned to face me. "I know what 'jagi' means, and just because people think we're dating doesn't mean you've got to think the same way."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAAVEWJpt3im
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAaKnrbYqnIy
"I know. I just wanted to call you that to see your reaction," said G-Dragon with a smile. "You look so cute when you're annoyed."1084Please respect copyright.PENANAsWTIyIcFi7
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAEtsI8ayVZe
I quickly looked away and didn't say a word. I always hate it when a person finds a way to shut me up. How I wish I could punch GD in the face. My knuckles were just itching to do so.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z5A6y4dOi
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAd3JomKsaYG
"So, if anyone is coming with me, I'll be waiting outside in my car," said G-Dragon, and he left the room.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAOaFvj91Iiu
1084Please respect copyright.PENANACLlJm70tCv
"Well, I'm going," said Zoey as she stood up. "How about you, Sam?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANAOy3bFwpQCI
1084Please respect copyright.PENANA6p14yLEVX5
"No, count me out," I said. "I've had enough drama already."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA2gj8FPNk0M
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAuMNVRdB8UL
"Okay, but just know you're going to miss out on all the fun," said Zoey, and she quickly dashed out of the room.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAPUwSvuAERq
1084Please respect copyright.PENANABLexuH1jqZ
Christine, Mike, and Daniel soon followed. Taeyang, Seungri, and T.O.P. announced that they had their own plans and places to go, so they left, leaving me alone with Daesung.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAc87URWg1UM
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAlUK6DNwMej
"Aren't you going out yourself?" I asked him as I tapped my fingers on my knees.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAFq824PRL5n
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAvg0IuUQ2cZ
"Nah, I don't have much to do today," said Daesung. "May I suggest that we go somewhere interesting?"1084Please respect copyright.PENANA7WBcfCbcVW
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAvSaRwIrVDX
"Yeah, sure. I need to get my mind off what's happened and come up with lyrics for the song."1084Please respect copyright.PENANA5tqcWB8SSb
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAwqUm0I3jbe
"Okay, let's go," said Daesung.1084Please respect copyright.PENANA9d5nIchK3j
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7mXXFgluy
We both stood up from our chairs and left the recording room.1084Please respect copyright.PENANAFlw7mleEYi
1084Please respect copyright.PENANAudptnUrqgJ
As Daesung and I walked out of the building, we saw G-Dragon's car leave through the gate. I continued to stare as it sped away. A feeling came that this day is far from over and something even worse than crazy is about to drop on us. However, I just couldn't figure out what it could be or how it was going to happen.
