My body ached all over 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmwygPGAg8
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rc51gQuim
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRG2uXvtb3
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtHUwceEuC
bed.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLm6DUylHI
I scratched my head as I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGt2w9ckIy
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLfRnvjJeu
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHe84ZTncL
he found me here.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLaMHBGXTe
I slowly stood up and I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNV8eAronr
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozBL1XcCw0
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdGQnJsdOf
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy8vKwrHQG
"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0crhCtZHu
I almost jumped in 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q68ku2yPS
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMXo4ykKyt
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrklpk0FvC
obviously reading the news online.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBKNTMlPvp
"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQYzehScfd
"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlFcjzEprh
"'Don't tire yourself 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWe8B99LIR
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ARgUtbzTD
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYgkrstj5E
"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5k5D1x4Cl
"Oh, you were listening?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZsQbYO3Ef
"Ya, you kept on playing967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ526NmeOiCb
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrU0xEdN7m
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3xwdqYWS5
"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkavXPYiQU
"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1kxQ2HYnD
"For covering me with a blanket."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeIF6ZK1WL
Collins looked at me 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4DJYGAmsy
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloqux0nIaH
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nNB2bM0V9
"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYmBCTgXm7
"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc81E2lsbnW
"I know," I said. "I really miss them."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8euQPVJdIW
"Me too."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnKhLxSzJi
"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo4PS7q4yE
Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30TqYtdFwI
"Going to take a shower," I said.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxNISpTOrr
"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx128C1kuhz
After I freshened myself967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJymeDC1WGJ
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ttfYniNwJ
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy872nlLnO
Collins was still on his tablet.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHwlagaY4X
"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvdhoJs25U
"Nope. Just looking at 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVjue2Ymjq
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgwSys9CJ7
coming back late at night with the others."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSCpdXP1Hi
"Are they having a good time?" I got a slice of bread that laid on the middle of the table and was applying marmalade on it.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwV2Gj3zkT
"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUuv0nmvD5
"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNQAd9cnLT
"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWuLfEFkv0
Collins handed his 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYMaB1TjA5
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfKDUsbLXV
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PLW6S5T9q
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicVWf5jevE
having a great time.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAGjBBuRm9
"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsvQCCExHt
"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl6ntmolsD
I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTEsG7c9hL
"They should have as 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8x7SGoRvL
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLUleY2hKa
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTafQjUMDC
"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KUV4AJ9nq
"No, it's not about the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fFQlMogz6
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsvizUALu5
they get back. I'm talking about something else."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3sd5lSC2e
I looked at Lee who sat 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB5LQdjZV1
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDjwvlhLTD
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV44asMBhMy
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfKsf59BS7
"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhF81e3EhD
"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT87Z0WAXm
I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKlfE7uXV3
"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFsYqDLmbg
"If I tell you, I'll 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTgpkZIUd4
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUG8Xb70Tl
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiVllmVe3i
Collins got up from his 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn90rIM3uEJ
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcZtSHlX2H
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZBdknsJpC
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPrRCE2HIs
"What do you know?" I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiD7zuewxC
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqanuteLxo4
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka29yw21y3
detective asking questions to a criminal.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg9euqsNGP
"I don't know," Lee 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWkqqF5ZbZ
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt2L8VxYhP
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinNgMN1SZf
I knew something was up 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bEOjkWDjh
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qvQhCXVst
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0BBxOGB6W
"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQnRLwsS6C
"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvxj0O4gOE
"Well, hopefully." I blew out a puff of air and shook my head as I thought of what happened to G-Dragon and I yesterday.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJduJ4tMsB
"Hey, what's wrong?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKHehh5H0e
"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqDsZbH97Y
"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9wuBaHg8E
"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAdRmTEy9a
Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV3i5G4hdf
"Well, kind of," I said 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWGxn8kPIn
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZIKckUABR
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwWTIft950
"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zWNrXDchx
"Okay."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr84ycUsQ1
I was just done eating my breakfast when Collins came to tell us that it was time to go. I carried the guitar and my notebook.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvoJAGEs5c
Lee, Collins and I soon 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ383PabhQkO
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjy9yMeFkp
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXQ8cLjZri
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgn0d35GoC
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6TCwLIuYT
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8LCnCs2kT
I was waiting in th 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aDbKBWqYo
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pDnnx0Rrb
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ub3KEqhmS
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgmi31TFv0
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF74j5o30Ye
I was pacing up and down967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB2I4ckEGJ
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvVk6KDWT8
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwHwQ8PSn2
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIxkQ9V37n
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IJgSHGxuF
and I was so nervous.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvGg3UGujP
"Here she is," said Lee,967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3usQpAn5MK
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2fjomPVL0
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg5hQEcNzN
you, Tae."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfuwLzZdN1
I frowned at Lee and I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeuc6hGeqc
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCcS9z7gi1
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfrZjPx0fN
friend.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm7XUAk7Ms
"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBRzLDuQew
"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iLqao7i98
"I told Taeyang that I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTfQpXkt8r
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7xzgY10kd
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO5M6VwmH9
"Our manager called me 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstxVeeTco8
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQifd5bi9Ux
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zTYZKEcy7
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbRzXMpjN2
"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwRqT9o4eh
"I'll go and check on the managers and see what's taking them so long," said Lee as she started to head out of the room.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Cx5QysLg
I wanted to call out to her and tell her to let it be. I didn't want our managers here just yet. But she had already left.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqv7pxZSO8
"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIIKLavmz5
"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1SQ8FMHcE
"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt04HxJThf
"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wVyguLNcN
"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB1h26adF4
"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETVLy2pgY6
"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA4uUC5nVJ
"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0osRrgcHS
"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrKJvLVV2e
"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKcr5pO86Q
"Sure."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQSp6t1dGM
I gave Taeyang my 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyFEaB6dkX
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2KpkLxhGI
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF7WKGYHh8
cute together.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzMzBlvJbc
"I can't wait for you to sing the song for us," said Hyo-rin as she looked at me. "The lyrics sound really good."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSQDce1ns7
"Thanks. I was singing 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHM4jcVWnj
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSS5wwlbiX
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jELF2OefI
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxUFZasd5F
"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BQj5Ev6Qt
"Well...not really," I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmZ5dOrpRN
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhGt5ayi4C
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktoovfa8WK
"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqLGNvXOS6
"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3tf8UiO2h
I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO6UmL7I3c
The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVecSMWugp9
"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6feE0Ln6gi
"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFibIfwIDQ
"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zw1O9vgev
"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6moXtL2ee
"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jlaKH8Imn
Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu61Vfco6O
"Right now."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEWcF8z7lo
We all turned towards 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwfS4KFIWO
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiTgL7tNYQ
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqjIzfL3u5
When everyone got 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFxacEYpeC
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN41WqG5hJv
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuglG5ovQ9B
run out of the room.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCFg5dYjOa
"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dKqpqtLe0
I nodded my head and my 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqMBhbKIbf
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsCZ3AfHfo
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5H8cp3GAV
ever got to play it.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSCIR4rK7Z
I felt a break of sweat 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0cF9iTI0v
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr5BF7z2vl
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxTY0R4NPk
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFChieY6bbF
strung the strings on the guitar.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkp0n3TSn1
I started to sing as I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK4pPAdxOd
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsp1PuwvyE
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1AgHaHTgv
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspupVdZmzx
didn't. Well, I hope so.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ9BGh9wwN
As soon as I was done 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9m28itLg8
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ929Mz7lZ8K
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DNJmwwokq
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc4NoPkx8O
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVG1cvfSeH
hoped they liked it.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtugWuGSxW
The studio was still 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOZPYfgikG
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMgoTd20RV
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2jtYiP6cg
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGc5DxQ4Yt
Yang Hyun-suk cleared 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVOVDrNUNr
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgU3AE7par
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7pzbk4pee
"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZA5Ku79Jd
This was it. The hammer 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bxlJRVWPU
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCTHUDilK7
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFoIyrMGqH
"....incredible."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgKRYHYh6c
I opened my eyes and I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2pgZC2Au6
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNwqywNiDO
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON6haiXNZh
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMg9qjJ6mq
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneEvZ6yQCs
"I've to admit, when 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfpoqfHECw
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKYW2bB61V
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpjL6VVuGj
"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWIGqbqwf9
"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDaqolT1ey
"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCht1CiVjH0
"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGpoKBp0Rv
"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUwfariqv9
"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37k2RNkPLz
I couldn't stop smiling 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjqAxiRyEJ
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLj7SSAc1w
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7ImyiJfng
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3MZAFozBv
good voice and a golden one.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc3tGGQ1E2
Immediately our managers967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIELMvzlBJd
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHS1bRoIzi
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCLgtqsscQ
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtyb7M8ObY
musical instruments.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZi9uSNwBo
This was always the hard967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqa01lNkTw
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKg2Hpsxsk
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsphDrPfeO
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV3xXNs84O
to use auto tunes and electric beats.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLXKHPSbjd
An hour had passed and I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGLitCw5e9
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XXESg9Hhp
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNPhisAUEg
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgA5o2RX1h
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LPp9WYfjs
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoWHE7m3hs
"It's been an hour and I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYoqalGi5e
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0HnZM9tLD
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwuTftgObd
"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFJ1icvGr3
"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwspaTAwpG4
"Trust me, you're so 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKbcorIZEe
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlRrRjdyq5
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiGJ5wJ6RF
"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcI6Mo1Nry
"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z1IPIqqus
"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMQuNn1BHc
"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1nvbqTi17
"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGmCZ1uMvM
"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPm1TN78l5
"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGQCRrlenu
"Mmmm." I murmured in 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkLigCzbgx
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEFbtiT1ha
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn8aOZYOdz
masseur."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKlkL1ynk2
"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IhNvYJkHD
I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zU4aXQOMk
The music producer soon 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV449BixrVF
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURG4rmfMN3
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPy6vSIAjq
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxDfSEExMA
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WGBFuTNve
recording the track.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrz3EEjAEw
We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSNfpQ6baI
"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR6NpzWxL6
"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDuDWcZ2II
"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVqpqcRZt9
"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHckHEFraF
I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WSg0zwPmo
"I'm busy, Sam. So I was967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHixMV7uOFD
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dQ33G5l9y
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlKGmpxPge
"Let me guess, you're 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wiU6Ik5z9
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKydQbRtQ0
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaSrMqCwfD
"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3ZXEuJlnZ
Something told me his 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN0gMKK43f
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVeZK0aKxp
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6hZJcFqzX
always does.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZMNPXOUXO
"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkXUQXHMK5
"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWqVkKZAQL
It was late in the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej0BytdHIJ
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQU3xqO7Xq
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzYCLXFr8d
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQtFfW6gND
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uVFulkvSb
"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmILiFtF5m
"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCt4FHaOf7
I looked beside him and I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CuGKedfrA
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQt3K4uww4
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3vSpmJTUo
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDLjnBwR02
leaning my head on the console.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEa1jTBeKc
"I always hate this part967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwpEuSKBVC
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJJXMoHJpF
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzurlwu5vrA
console.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCkFgyowrs
"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUZpQnq7KX
"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmzbifJ0DR
"I wonder what time."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL4chJhH4i
"Wait." I pushed my head967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB88w1UsJA
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6tiXdYRmh
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7xyW4zJDs
drunk and the world around me was spinning.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WeCIBfutO
"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3AUc7zMg9
"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhsDddlrGJ
"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsbv1Qfb3O
"I didn't sleep well 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5X80XUqZS
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUy87Mbbml
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGJGFlSy7T
"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTRfK9od9j
"You're right." I soon 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgvDjtsFXi
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmpoNR8sLZ
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rvDQP1Zmu
"He said they might come at nine in the evening," I said when I cut the call. I was so sleepy I felt like I couldn't stand up.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd6hPX4UPw
"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMc1KtdbZk
"Alright. Thanks."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIy35JGq19
"I'm coming too," said Daesung.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWQqy2uThP
"And so will I," said Seungri.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmNg7CwKtB
"Guys, it's fine. Taeyang and Hyo-rin will take me," I said with a small smile on my face as I faced Seungri and Daesung.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsi3jrOFxU
Immediately I left the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQq497Lb6n
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekC6PGwHne
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PTeIiJMWg
"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqOBIHKCri
"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIduuR6svv
"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTQ7tZ0870
Phew! Taeyang hadn't 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkpJf9Arst
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6faEtvqZAl
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVM59rARFy
The next thing I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiAh8fQydb
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc1sXKmmzP
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr74RbNj4G
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRoU0V0MgG
I woke up by the sound 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwJPVo9UoZ
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vSciW32MP
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hQ1NQUAV2
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqRDNQX0db
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcckULKupR
I reached out for the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUXeYSwdw8
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz7bN1nuj2
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlivU6Pq76k
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTnUtdc0EI
I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGL3857dJt
"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRArjhIdUsO
"I could hear it ringing967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmpksj0Ad1
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM8V9nWSkz
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q5SyVTovH
"Thanks," I said as I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dRROOSWdW
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnfROfCOqc
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4CNaqsgQh
"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BgQ7ibVjG
"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQQRioqanH
"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8VN1OmZfw
"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5pb6Y3ezg
Lee left the room and I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tBFLYHZcO
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAiWdTZV07
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2noeLSZrrJ
"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdjxLeXMSp
"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZEJ3k2JXB
I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYvglSKVrc
"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZcpk6L8Sm
"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uoBQEVJpg
"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZTfMrZbUi
I dashed over to the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygpTC1Vc66
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv7QJiS5ew
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCU4mRkahJ
It was now 10 PM and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMOLSpPMHe
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaShcya73hW
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9ZAV8Qefn
they were right now.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc4F7aDa29
"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bNjhBar4V
"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIxVEP45fw
"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3VmLjwT9X
"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMKFckEhaO
"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPdp9pGmXW
"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ivIV5nrH2
"True."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRYozYC0kb
We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIlt5os99e
Two bell boys came out 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkakbaKa9z
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1jP83cNpC
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l0DIN7jxn
"Zoey." We both said at the same time.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMFXsNF4Kd
There were so many gift 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Gf2R84YA
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8nhrUnDy0
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aBD6bpjDl
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfTasAMVxd
so pissed.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2c59XJHei
"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggh5lgrcmA
"They are downstairs," he answered.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6kmSmdSX1
After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwpVvIEhod
When the doors flew 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHkM2JaxnS
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC97Y1Xq6LQ
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RG1D2VlCc
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC1vJGlGT7
"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri0cynT6x9
"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjLJYfRxua
"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqhjEyjdmE
As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf3DfJyol8
"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS9a6H3DkV
"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP2inQzDOZ
"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79h8sdxrp7
"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6XZGikZNF
"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeizeej0v7
Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zk5CtXuDv
I raised an eyebrow. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRrhRE3iB5
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ESa4y3ufk
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOEN3kD69Q
"Okay. Enough," I said as I shook off Zoey and Christine away from me. "Can someone please tell me why you're acting like this?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaw8amlNbw
"Everyone just missed 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQf1XfCIQn
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmM4ANLE4q
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCtzT5FoI9
I rolled my eyes at him,967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa1wdYvhVw
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf6WsmBIgT
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64BTOrm3iw
face when I hugged him.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZf84jqUeW
"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2Jp6bC1R2
"Wait! You missed TOP 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm5b6JDYi4
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjOmqGbfq1
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN85DqQGzx
I always loved it when 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41lw45Lmye
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxdTEVl400
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl1aGebQFs
"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKd1VguFoo
For a moment, that voice967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRz9SGm7Ki
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXT30oEtrH
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsub6NYa6x6
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3PzQQslfN
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuDAl2h9yS
he was still acting the same way he had left.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVPbWGcgJM
I was really confused. I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8zCFXN94U
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRNVQ2BtHY
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24ok4swE2a
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNMgziacLp
personal and it had to do with me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH73VwOC1s
I had no other choice 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLHmiiJeSo
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoLkIa4iq2
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CgHsQEHEi
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwkVvMmRdp
"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zmkCEULIP
By the look on his face,967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iAVR9S6oi
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGUrsI6xHV
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMgPhtN51A
going to end pretty tonight.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1wzfOJC3b
"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa99DwGDahZ
"Ya, I did."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD6u8mEn91
"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9XEXFn5RJ
"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkeC6w22gK
"Can't wait to hear it,"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KmPxUGioK
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ofaW211No
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R5S0OMjEu
"Anything for you, 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxndvcY0NB4
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYSmTmXwTa
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlADObuMyl
look at Zoey.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPJtvYVP4H
"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNjtKqrYyy
"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHlqlhU1NP
"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTYMkC2KH9
After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlCUV7AXRk
"You know Collins is 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfeYqUNL92
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGK6Fs45sq
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XOZ1xL9eL
floor.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3qRMTNtLz
"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoRcrv6WJ0
"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRKJiwCTxs
"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot94m2M9mB
I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9lcFkIHO9
"We better sort out all 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS42ZatFdIc
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCrZ14pIPq
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWvFAE1e9K
floor.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR18cRxrqV
Sorting out all the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsndzHCIXVJ
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ulOXr3gA
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo7ue28xkr
had really bought a lot of stuff.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkOALPeSta
The boys had brought a 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QtLS6rOOB
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w4AHoPP7M
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvk6sq1inz
expensive designer shoes.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHdFerd9GL
As for Zoey and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefsscNyNqN
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKozJNAu9VL
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGioj8OuNkf
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU05ap9RYOI
"G-Dragon was helping me967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEeA19VkFN
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckeoHCcm5T
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNklnDHdq8
"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfhlJ3fD9y
"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoXV9JDI1Z
We were sitting on the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVdPYqBUuQ
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez65EoEWVS
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqabpIFHVv
stuff with Collins' too.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe7GFefV5Y
"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5dRlfsDoc
I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnNtw0sRZR
"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHxVVRbYrr
"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmrr24ZMIq
"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjutdlvbEA
"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqgWWXZ8Cm
"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE3ASUyeO3
I distributed the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr7S0Eye2n
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc4vzFXmEj
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9NroSjyMs
was meant for me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKemIpuOyux
"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTbS1Udn5b
"Don't worry about it," I said as I walked over to her. "We will find it tomorrow. We can't go through all these right now."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplktXHLnOe
"Ya, you're right," said Zoey. She had a gloomy look on her face. I could tell that she had bought that gift with lots of love.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA0IW34Vg5
"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR9k2B6xHQ
When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyQpwcq3wX
For a moment, time 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8cQiThCuK
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUvLGYE5U5
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATqEd9ShPI
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K6PLtXRIH
mess.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqMRJrIPqV
"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6t1KGXUpu
"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTnTPQ4MGM
"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWNB1b1uFa
"Hide," Zoey whispered.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0SqrY2VdB
For me, it kind of felt 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEiSJoAN5T
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dkyorUUeA
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmxyjkZOQH
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwqGXonYCA
When Collins came to the967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqeIN4F9Z8
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc8zJGeu1j
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUb4wgIA3K
he just couldn't.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPvhD8xgIm
"Hey, Collins," I said.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Whj0enLT
"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIUHrLRXaR
"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUVB0TNL0S
Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW6HpeSVMu
"Thanks."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoqS2rzZ9z
"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjakZP3x73B
"Who?" I asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPHqanN1jS
"You know who I'm talking about."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfmbrMfNZq
"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRfZFq5zN3
"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oV27Q8JR2
Collins went over to the967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XKyF38bJr
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfNjp1zgt0
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JLkq77Kkv
up at him.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEBSIgwFMA
"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iDhElf0RH
"Where are the others?" Collins asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcn7oO3BaE
Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZPHV2R2Nw
"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SJzEqjAJc
"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bFniU3MXv
"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpl3EK2hvO
"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGcJHEo9I6
"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTViauvXbm3
"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4OnndYS5i
"Ya, most of the stuff weren't bought by us, you know? If it came to the designer clothes, it was all from Chanel," said Zoey.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ2eb0UmFS
"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmVhjERgCb
"Here, we brought you an967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7OwRbSune
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY2NJRKCeE
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7omQ9cwNU
"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCpHjBmfNa
"Thanks," said Collins, 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9hcEq9dGL
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSNY9Lq8VV
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTNEJdojLM
Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc4NR7FQD7
"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Gn0YYxP4
Lee was right. Collins 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgEScWximj
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM84TeTf0Sl
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzty8GSQHFC
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiglL9Kg31n
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTl4GQjzuJ
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEE2guS7oU
"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQMX48Am7P
We continued sorting out967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nxTy1eAOi
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9OdL89ICT
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn9YYqeo4S
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xEj8sWhLK
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1nVGNfOFo
already too late and we all needed to rest.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHwRyKE7q3
We hadn't managed to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCIlQdsHms
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhaVlL5qLw
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6DdP05sWo
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJYY9s9Bk6
course.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM24dg4M5fH
When we were all done and had retired to our rooms, Zoey quickly pushed me into the room when I was just coming into the room.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYLHXIg18w
"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWWoOZJ3Gz
Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvepELJUls
"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdQEQY0Z6T
"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1vbqAaYbV
I looked at her with an 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAGm2riu48
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfLKSXt76r
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiROVWTLr9n
"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm5CaET4Fk
"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLwS3XYeWF
"Fine?" I looked at 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x6VEvzlOK
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLchcbgo9Z
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr77VBhFTp1
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGGUmyWhwo
"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHgAMu4Iza
"Tell me, please!" I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7oRMNtZuN
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfCI1IaE1M
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx2YJPadjH
tell me something. So tell me!"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFWODHD0fw
"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKWYMMHDbh
"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6aRLAGUBF
"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtqRj7pGhq
"Hello! Earth to Zoey!" I snapped my fingers in front of Zoey's face. "You look so lost. Please tell me what's bothering you."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GmPRcssGP
Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOXWYzcO28
I felt really excited 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUbH0Vxz8k
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSoQG4YgZm
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxsqIhGyIV
"I don't know how I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W3O9dNHBS
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2RWfBYelc
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz74ojGZZlU
Tower."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0evG9kExc
"Ya, I saw the picture. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLehfVNBbIr
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz2GcWcAQF
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikvhFORfYB
"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21KydDF8uO
"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiYf24bRmy
"So we got to the Tower and we were having a good time as usual." Zoey paused as she licked her lips. "Then something happened."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIk82aVgLp
"What?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEfJy3D6J1
"When we got to the top 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaa0sO8bBF
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlKLIbEi93
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXanNGZyjVs
others had left and it was just GD and I."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2og2fT0U1o
My eyes grew wide. I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XeLSdCtmf
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YHwsE4jB6
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCdCTQWPKs
"You two kissed."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEUGFGu4tr
"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zRkrIRzkh
"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfjyTxuRwS
"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIEusYOlNF
"Well, you were in one 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzMDZ21OhH
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGQWPT9RvE
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pNwFTrmaQ
"Smart."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjxXTM5Swf
"Thanks. So, how was it?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvEQdb9kES
Zoey smiled like a fool,967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2G9xyR2zf
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0iDc2nSkp
it was so magical at the same time."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqCyB5IvSX
I couldn't help but 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1JHK6jGIK
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsoAwd1qx3
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tm65QuA75
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsKNwBWx07
everyone at the prom.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2RWl0ihwO
"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ7nbarzzS
"So you guys kissed, and then what?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHUT74vYml
"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY82H6RvyN
"And? Anything else? 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWghH5C9auw
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAcsqlxGAq
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEQn25FCRV
"When we were on top of 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhRkx7KFbr
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTzzLMOGdf
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP7YKSZIsf
Well that's a bummer. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVNgA50zYN
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0rEpxr3y4
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O9Q0tyvD1
really liked Zoey and not me?967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoJdmLrKLc
I brushed that off. Why 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFEy1sEMIM
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX0noL7mIR
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMsQSB2W36
hopes up with it.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjj1YPbIvQ
"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOYMLTeI3M
"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aHXSljWdF
"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WOp0hLD2u
"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWAKzhwHDo
"Thanks, Sam."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pp84NRpj5
"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno1NccbB3L
"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM3nFu5X6v
I left Mr Panda on the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RoZdKi1S6
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9shfQovhVc
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5qwFWkLHI
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORZld147Ln
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTihECSBSAE
"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5VYYu68bQ
"Good night," she replied. She turned to the other side to flip the switch beside the bed on the wall and the room went dark.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DeNNeVjAY
I laid my head on the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5HuE57yjW
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQAm2IonWQ
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLagBrXP3c
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWsBKZGFSe
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25DJy3YhgV
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf8fbDkmPQ
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhaEjDORzi
have been.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl65TsL44i
Zoey would have only 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIzYsiMHbq
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwOhGFjzvv
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssJ6NpGY1c
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGl2rG7Znh
To be honest, I was happy for Zoey. And when I heard her giggling again, I realised that I wouldn't want to hurt her.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSoBjUBbEJ
I pulled Mr Panda closer967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGXuVa05vQ
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUrGjgKQmB
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKkfiQmBln
***967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vNBgyxXbo
I was given a round of 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGzgzcC1T2
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjLf9IG5Xy
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzq94jw2FL
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuteLzNdcXR
"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMVOi3MbUw
"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7rxYHD1e7
"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqfAgPuTb1
"Then you better eat 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvzvcgIy9U
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT606j3wkMr
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Ogb9jDjx
We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0lJJ5WcA4
"I can't wait for us to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv9MkDaNoX
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtJMa5dFPN
beside me. I could only tell why.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhUWiKNK3k
Christine who sat 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcspV4vHzTl
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRDgLfbyw2
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9pspaOK38
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8r8CYbQRO
and G-Dragon.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Rg90y18l
When we were done 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRz2cuKmsu
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxhi7xcZcT
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrIF40p6VQ
"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsROan8bi4W
"What is it, Zoey?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03QXfMlFsN
"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEdmCzRb8O
Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn7o4btj1a
"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhRVokWaCG
"That's the problem," 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUKNmcVFf2
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XRB9nAWaU
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB8AFG1s2o
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGUceseFmE
Mike turned away and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeFJCE5EuA
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb7JmgTzaI
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanROwZYd0L
something?967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4bJBUbTKS
"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtbLIps1pQ
We agreed with Christine967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82WjPUPwUU
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5IqcDEj1s
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aBGj3LNGX
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCqufsuCst
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDco7xDPW4S
"Hey, how are you," said G-Dragon as he came and gave her a hug. I bypassed them heading to the couch sitting next to Daesung.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU22kddN9Dd
"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyponFxChjk
"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8l1zkTOGh
"I also feel like I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEi8ZjmnOl
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqZ5u3gX14
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlAE8OQ6rq
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe9YW7q79C
"Do you think we should 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZV6LPd9ka
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmJCLp8Q8d
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgFLq3VlsA
"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGXQE9Epgb
"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNQLyu1Sp4
"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQdJ0Lclph
"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe1HkOQozZ
I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmQALFWOtx
"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKXFk0YIW6
"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXANqhNPpYL
Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmORezl7sIM
I stood up from the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3yecgVnc0
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Nprlb0BS
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FJVOS4LSB
conversation.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneSKjrjmSq
When I went back, I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDAsD4nS57
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarZW62zJcn
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLieNEt1rPa
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3ZLSGoiQ3
"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWvmsSMStA
"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn10ZwMJf2H
"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXX2GmE2rb
"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgO4mtZvvi
"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvp4iGxtyk
"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWJ25x2yHN
"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaXv4o5ikE
G-Dragon gave me a weird967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWn9orGPvK
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqQZEU4UPL
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYaHppfbVI
took their place on the couch.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R18Q9hUmW
"Christine and Daesung, I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVnba67Efk
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPahVM70M1
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6mIUMUxEt
"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr8YhJGwZi
"Ya, we will sing the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKiNf41OvT
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq8MeBSIiC
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzRsuVv6Nf
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPvXo7WmNf
producer has the lyrics printed out."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPfmQFmShw
"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWmCF5lJbj
I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNivjUaiWH
Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EiScWt5yZ
Then we all went over 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYkEvSoMAr
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiuQ3ufoAg
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rx2DDGK57
"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCUfIoAbqj
"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LHVkhIP97
"Me too," said TOP.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeI8dZwmqS
"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA59cjPp1r
"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexkNTXqfZS
I didn't look up at him 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJRCUb6EPJ
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDRPBuNgNz
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H63jz3ejQ
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyXhQzvEKw
"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxovl2WKo4
I started to relax my 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUKs17tRiZ
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gEED8P5kH
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQACZXYy86
"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK75MXyST8
"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXuP7ufPzg
G-Dragon came to sit 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmAXJ8rWu3
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtt8P9kN2q
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6vf9ErAVG
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv9SftS09i
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyswJoEDhqN
"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MxoTr6OSN
"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3LUIAVpDV
G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMk2Y0XQY7
"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO98ksG0zW
"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotClmTXyIV
"Really?" the music producer asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjD31mV0RB
"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM3n1mOTYg
"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgnY3DWSgC
"Give him a chance, 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA66RriV8TP
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIiDU361KN
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlojfkkOaW0
headphones and put them on.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXi0nL46He
"Okay, this is 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflFXKHoJCC
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm4lDUKCx4
join them and see what needs some changing."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9HBx1rD5j
I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IaSnBGwBB
"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUERuKlLtP
"Chill, I guess," said Mike.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX4CeJNhWD
The others looked at me 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60xavtK1G6
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uNKM6TKcZ
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NlrJjD2sI
"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKsnkhaMMR
"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFn8peLW24
"That's going to be a 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F9l7nDnY1
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljhRFOHyPt
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ObMTY51j
"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzSUiefaju
Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtq572TSjt
"Okay let's go through the song," I said as everyone nodded their heads and sat on the couch and I went over to get the guitar.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfWYdzi8UQ
I looked over at Zoey 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJiGXif6o1
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIjXqQek7F
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSBcmpW6nY
I put a stool in front 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvpeonSaQa
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhZC3qr4K8
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOz0Nmadn3
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcmYOYqaKN
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsziO1OfDM
others.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4QSAgz3lc
"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzzdj3U4wq
Taeyang and I sung the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdFqTgt0vJ
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1gFrGtTjE
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2T8hPPmQf
great and everyone cheered.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JiWvPNoQl
"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w07t0jYUG
"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufySpSBlWr
"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96ASY3sIVi
TOP started to rap the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXeMvQD5MW
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYR9eOU6Mz
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHX7AjWcUT
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW3yZtpvT5
Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJsUs8BF9J
"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYwcnVREnt
"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYDy75auZJ
"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobs5xP2Jt5
Daniel and Seungri sung 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrdJ012Kil
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI4iqtNIDI
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbd3GDatm5
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGO4WcnZzc
clapped for themselves and cheered.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bijueU8ot
"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRXAYPlCCw
"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxXdJF45Ts
I almost fell off the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY3QLtVNWE
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUh2DYwdB8
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51z6poFNMJ
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWl77IzjpF
We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuiKOiqYtn
"I have to say, you all 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeGzzuVAYo
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhZ6mbsrbU
smile. "Keep up the good work."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTeYUSTnfK
"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OJ7yv6La0
"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfMal1puU6
No one said anything. We967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AzCsEpcat
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9BWcz5eJ5
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmwLMSyfR9
talking.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHrTM0FunO
"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl0WTHAQsT
"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFYa2hiPms
That, I couldn't answer.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡligJ0wPe6M
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86I7dvNT7N
listen to the instrumental ourselves.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQShz94d0B
"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xcaqH0XMN
"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOns2w95Zt
"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9ERdhlhjB
"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO36wLqcBj
"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl8vLg5Jo9
"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQQ1dMljBC
The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dA66lEvZ6
"I want them back here 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGaFBTksGq
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTe57JX0Q2
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQXVUvr4I4
I gulped as I felt the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcZT7CYQb4
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysdhyVaJTb
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfscgfp1KxY
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qE8wHPTmS
No one said anything 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqfFx7PMYM
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxcB2YZ4s8
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELjo81f0Lv
"Where could they have 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPsFOyEpNE
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeq0g8M88c
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIhy7lYGFn
"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyINPbES4f
"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9c0cGI9Jc
"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvvGVBJY1C
"Then we better start 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk43lqf35QK
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qQ2iF2NTh
looking for them will be difficult."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0MQrYwyGq
We all agreed to split 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3WKn31ggw
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLI0V8ReGp
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W9qxZcMOU
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8X7DPVhqQ
All the studio rooms 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBlwZZVh1Y
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg17EvATwL
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMaNnHwzRX
"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknXNkdUe3J
I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcAmHLdcKi
"Almost fifteen minutes."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV0YIfPqbF
"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAliWWz19i
He nodded and pulled out967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vnd68DvDJ
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd1QEHPfoC
walked out of it and came towards us.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDIzMKGQlJ
"Anything?" Daniel asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4n7iVr9CA
"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAW5AWaqIj
"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUQh4OC5y7
"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlMRw9dUx7
I looked at the time on my watch. We only had fifteen minutes and Yang Hyun-suk was going to kill us all if we didn't find them.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZXJAZ2iXH
"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWZow2ZUpn
"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ1pCWDV3S
"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarpRN5N8U0
"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7oSyT9xW7
"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxmVlDL9ry
I hadn't said a word 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFJgqokDND
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXsfHeat2i
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc6nEEhtOn
but worry.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0ykQjfCiv
"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKcTYhldwL
"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kz4OpnF2O
Daesung motioned his 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnUvgyW461
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2xXtFaNdd
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQiHaWUgVh
"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7v0BPb8qc
Taeyang and the music 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Szd7fqpmT
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRxgPC2aem
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarXioVSCqk
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5wewVxrx1
and angry at the same time.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz65UlhU4Z
"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6qsmFAy0D
I looked over at Daesung967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8RH7vJDrd
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMtfJ99UnX
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rh9tjPoUH
the play button.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p84bTkgIK
***967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xGysAJTAg
"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFKgRestSy
I came crushing back 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01mngCnVJv
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXDXYZP3qV
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl7NhFLbEv
I had so many mixed 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTs65OEF3n
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6neGUWPWcl
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvaXUMkl57
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLlK7tWG8O
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Yh34PXcQ
I could tell that the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwARbWF8nYE
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMpzbe3Adv
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSAzXCb5Ut
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvGo1wRCNJ
"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkciBX9IK0
"They aren't here," Daniel answered.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwv1qyd4A9
"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLsK7ZvaC5
"They went out without taking you guys along?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkPJon2gs7
I folded my arms and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qkTufSPPd
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHSq7zC9KO
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd54Ju2cZfG
"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0jcHXRjNI
"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pg239Q0wu
I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarEiUWqwHQ
"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8eBOhHxZI
"No, we haven't heard it yet."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEaelphXJP
I could feel the others 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZITwHI8Sh
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwbdaxWEpN
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqyDv36D72
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMHmaiqvK8
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWhrv8p6MW
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljCnhY4aLJ
"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKbh2WgPDz
"Okay." I nodded my head.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYVjyiRCsI
When Yang Hyun-suk left,967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCxDTXfMEU
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNmvknqWzA
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ8NQDCLcl
"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFVhF3Jxtd
"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrOGaDESMe
"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo67zVDYBkD
"Not until I hear what 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T3zA8Rp18
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTeFKrMhLw
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuu0PVCYXF
trying to calm down.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1srWsQZ4S8
"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYwNVoa2XM
"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqSthoygAJ
"So that we could get 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbc8Qa5wrM
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ281vBfM8rR
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogCjA7Ay9Y
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOg1aZkjST
"I agree with Sam," said967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk6awMUy4Z
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Ghc7M0R6
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8oIowPgRz
"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRKAvcDK50
"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo0gho1v8x
The rest of the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcppmkwruX
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt6Bajyic8
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGml8XcETo
playing cards.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtIBggLg5o
I was leaning my chin on967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDOtBu5DGv
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs4kHUP0ye
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCDFdKWok7
especially to me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNZQAwDxhG
Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR6UjvwYuG
I suddenly sat upright 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb0GcmnSuu
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvfIpZc4sU
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotHRTIOiA3
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaQjeyhj54
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMACG7c8OgS
"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAfV0ZS5VD
"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn9PCPXQCG
"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipKmqMsKzn
"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlIDpbCaLY
"Maybe we can just order967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkwLbXRpiY
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCf6qSoArf
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BbPxQAYWd
"Good idea," said TOP. "Let me tell her right now." He pulled out his phone and just when he was about to call, Lee came in.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT3GvoE0DM
"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCfbahfCb6
"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhlEqXl0Uf
"I heard that Zoey and 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGTLaefP5x
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS6xEN6jMG
out of his office window for them like a hawk."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSpA8Wz9tX
"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddpPVH8JQD
"Then it's a good thing 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuxHxq8VD0
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbDtrefOIq
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieqHSYyhnE
Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V49SEpL2l
"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡickjKSZuJx
Everyone soon dropped 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8DBpn81LC
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96qhHaaZuf
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddznhRKfT5
I had never eaten pizza 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKsOrKORkV
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oqFOgXkZ1
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzdYBBjidr
We were done finishing 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PtuXvUghD
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTheCPrgOZ
instrumental for the song, is that true?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgttrNuR4wL
"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWARcCpkAf
"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHblZUW9ojk
We were huddled up on 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG9I9x0xwt
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt1vUgA2IK
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzR6Fgggtw
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx6EIdtDE2
"We actually lied," said Taeyang.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVV0XN4ey4
"You lied? About what?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDlqXkB72P
"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfZ3r2fEf4
"But why?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fv6pehJTU
"Because, I had no choice. I want to know why GD did this. It's best we know and see how we can move forward."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglFOgovQmO
I finished my slice of pizza and licked my fingers when Lee asked, "don't you think he just did that to get back at you, Sam?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiysP6PM7RM
I didn't expect Lee to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAYZ1LDnYt
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9p1j1rQZC
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsbZcMyYgo
"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE7sxOcz2h
"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nSQ8Jlma8
I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDZt7MYSK3
"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHKUsSXXSg
I stood up from the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VznqJAQBc
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqwi1SVNdm
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nYuWNEElY
later.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlMUXqN82q
Trying to find the right967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmYsZqc4sh
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wrOcoB8JD
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonvDRMIpOi
what for, was the question in mind.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RPpzDhYb4
"Aren't you going to 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6rg6HGqHO
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxaTK5UnAK
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmYoVfWNDV
"I doubt it," said TOP. "I was here with them when they were writing the lyrics and the two of them looked fine to me."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTb5kzRhbl
"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ852XI6xqRC
I looked at Lee and she was looking back at me with a scared look on her face. Using my eyes, I told her not to say a word.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwCigMrrlj
Lee went on to look at 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJaPT0SvKR
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RiVkwfrfr
just thought they might be arguing again."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtqXqorHOf
"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkEOEVJR1x
"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUzMO7DTUa
"I don't even know what 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqa5WXNFEo
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVuSifj8iU
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oBozAXDwg
"They are here," Mike announced to the others.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho8XKfD8n7
No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEl9AYNEjC
"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu1sbQZnbq
"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51smvcflGq
Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1ngD5yrFx
It only took five 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8IvSgY0xF
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbr1GpSjPP
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqqLNaRC6i
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbWvllx0l1
"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbWe3PHU94
When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPIM0oqFzv
Still, no one said anything. It looked like no one was ready to throw the dice first. I cleared my throat and looked at Lee.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9U9PklVR6
"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHza3aPRub
"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYfR5hK3i3
"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCAHUDHSXp
"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVEH7gxIzZ
"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBciMXRrEf
"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXrAQLAPV5
"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdTwK8Meqy
"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXovyV11GeI
I tried to keep my tone down and my anger in check but I was boiling inside. Any minute now, I might just blow my head off.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6OwWsoMS6
I was expecting an answer from G-Dragon but all he did was look at me. I kept on coming closer, my eyes not leaving his.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcwU7AMtKG
"Why did you this?" I asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuyb6aUNBg
"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0JNvHI6jm
"If you didn't like it, you should have just said so and all of us together would have figured something out. Not what you did."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoHXY1gnpY
When I got closer to them, I took out the USB drive from my pocket. I took G-Dragon's right hand and placed it in his open palm.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT5x8jz6Bb
"The instrumental is in 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQN06MnMly
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcGIXiXTs2
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9ljuXL9NR
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme3WQhrD5I
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9lf5bVWVV
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ71dKLlqnr
pissed."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUiZ7sK2sS
"Wait, a minute," said Taeyang as he came up right behind me. "He first has to tell us what's happening between the two of you."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ258Mzr6tq
"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO1NLmFnLA
"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8uwZRAAaS
I looked at Zoey and she967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKAXqmXN59
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUO7tzixGf
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEloTmPadB
was mad at me for.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu4THjYz5y
"Now is not the right 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenA1sU92zd
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWyUDieKit
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKNtMTdv0c
understand.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4zWBIX25U
Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLLYD3rF8l
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqejR9i8r3E
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnVaE7gQiP
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67AeB4HGlt
"It's about time you guys got here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned towards Zoey and G-Dragon. "Hope you had a perfect lunch."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8HdTvV7fr
I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO06Zvz4fF
"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxkX6rOJfa
Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eEv8uonXC
"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWZD1fEnxm
"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAVouxgDMS
"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GGJKcOGDz
"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRRFMo6Uh2
I paused with my mouth 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnt55ZjHob
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UbArPaCfC
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YJSg7EA0B
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUQN7FzD8h
I looked at G-Dragon and967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4XdnPhPeO
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI9T6nvulz
face wondering what he was thinking.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDsuxJeHR1
"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeVRq1YupN
"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE99U5tBoTO
"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoTD53y0TP
I smiled and Seungri 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrohBs5M5CO
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rR0g7Vnff
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FoDFcC1cM
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvINSFOUKI
"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDiUwpuo8B
I smiled a little more. 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnIffMC1Mt
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrP3mgHh36
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE0GsKf3OE
were at war again.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbc6DAyQHf
"But we can't start 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmdoHtePnA
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Le1OHt41T
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE12g17YXJ8
I sat upright and alert.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjuYLBLABT
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw21dhCsaD2
have to record the track the day after?"967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0TYpgNb6p
"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu2H954j41
"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhfIGtjtLC
"But why didn't you tell967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqvR66xim9
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCJR5f4h7h
was then that it hit me and things became clear.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQhAmwKn4z
"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzlehNwWpv
"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea3SnktT4P
"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3czEWpJKGX
"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHPZ54Wkip
"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUz2J9WQho
"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpWpaCK3Do
"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOBY8FCkak
"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILYpNh4sBw
"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkPFWfRxh4
It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqafL9n1JLg
The two managers and Lee went out of the room first. Just as we were about to walk out, TOP stopped me by holding my hand.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxzCzozlpy
I turned to look at him 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmpCzyDd1c
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz4g3jp9Kx
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPFrJmMylN
me like that.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgcQKDBtda
"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNyUCImtNq
"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltZu8bOXzL
"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhmkilWCkA
"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRkcESSnhj
"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnwPBfBCri
Zoey and the others left the room and I was the last to walk out. I didn't want to look at G-Dragon, but I did.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNRTsW8l7n
We looked at each other 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWkeIXqalh
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47nWBCJSTX
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwvG8xZ6CG
Maybe he also felt the same.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQtOv3JS2o
But I wouldn't know and I wouldn't like to know what he felt. I walked out of the studio, closing the door behind me.967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPWAbx5h19
I then realised that I 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuPclucDKX
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChYBnQPQiV
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUg3hpVIbc
another time.
