The water felt like a 938Please respect copyright.PENANAkZaB7yixS5
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 938Please respect copyright.PENANAEM8CMgoryT
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 938Please respect copyright.PENANA58v1HftgKx
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 938Please respect copyright.PENANAAWoA8ipjff
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 938Please respect copyright.PENANA9Lwud9TzIr
breathe. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAI7UJtYjEzI
I pushed myself upwards 938Please respect copyright.PENANA5KIBraVi2y
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of938Please respect copyright.PENANAnnNA4NCwAC
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 938Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ9K53mxOZ
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 938Please respect copyright.PENANA8RgUgBPBzI
edge.938Please respect copyright.PENANAJuR0bIqy4o
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.938Please respect copyright.PENANAtsqizjyWMg
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.938Please respect copyright.PENANAp7eONcRiQk
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.938Please respect copyright.PENANAewtCOLGEJN
I looked ridiculously 938Please respect copyright.PENANALqVxHIySby
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 938Please respect copyright.PENANAvTWxFvhz2L
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 938Please respect copyright.PENANAXNEVBrGpYn
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 938Please respect copyright.PENANAbQVIoUPsRd
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 938Please respect copyright.PENANAZrfVQZHq6y
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.938Please respect copyright.PENANAZAT1z7AI1r
I looked around me and 938Please respect copyright.PENANAiChvoqwafK
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 938Please respect copyright.PENANA2HwEt4FmCS
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWOMB3EO5ES
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 938Please respect copyright.PENANA9URIM4MiB6
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.938Please respect copyright.PENANA4TZBg3Slw0
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."938Please respect copyright.PENANAY3kE6mc8ab
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."938Please respect copyright.PENANAwLW3mmTua9
I heard Zoey and the 938Please respect copyright.PENANAAi1xgFJsYy
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on938Please respect copyright.PENANAy3nHztmSYY
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.938Please respect copyright.PENANAksSmbU61pV
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAbu3YgEIvhC
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's938Please respect copyright.PENANAdds26lNTZz
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 938Please respect copyright.PENANAAHtcF6gQz5
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."938Please respect copyright.PENANAIBfTgmxmO9
"I already told you, I'm938Please respect copyright.PENANAMGL9EH9J6I
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I938Please respect copyright.PENANAvun00Fsu6y
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 938Please respect copyright.PENANAIl2nfTWNKk
from anyone.938Please respect copyright.PENANAV00wAzJPOI
I made my way towards GD938Please respect copyright.PENANAA0VHMmXgKN
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what938Please respect copyright.PENANAVWxHgj5YKc
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 938Please respect copyright.PENANAsbcx0GAO5n
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.938Please respect copyright.PENANA1cM9RR2PcG
"Oh, man, Sam," said 938Please respect copyright.PENANAS7IRFL6aeR
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 938Please respect copyright.PENANAr0Qk2UJTXy
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWnjr588RZ5
game. Hope you didn't mind."938Please respect copyright.PENANAAkAjOIzBRR
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."938Please respect copyright.PENANAxjq7OtwYnZ
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."938Please respect copyright.PENANAJIrlHZGDPx
"I told you, our 938Please respect copyright.PENANAgGtkavHhVW
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 938Please respect copyright.PENANA3v5Yq7TfDc
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 938Please respect copyright.PENANAN2aXtwYyPQ
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 938Please respect copyright.PENANAbcpf82Pmb4
Daesung.938Please respect copyright.PENANAszDhncYtIi
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.938Please respect copyright.PENANAsNx9uCTBLz
I dialled Lee's number 938Please respect copyright.PENANAla7WWP8AW1
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 938Please respect copyright.PENANApxLveRpSVO
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 938Please respect copyright.PENANA5rXsoyYugt
They would know soon enough.938Please respect copyright.PENANAbieLzTPr1C
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.938Please respect copyright.PENANAFLEeWI1TMv
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.938Please respect copyright.PENANAEcAYgwYUIz
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAY4QC7o9KpA
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAJkSRKQxDQU
"No, not yet. But you 938Please respect copyright.PENANAg9ZT1MxSNJ
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And938Please respect copyright.PENANADhkxIi8jgL
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."938Please respect copyright.PENANAsFKkQzbm6R
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."938Please respect copyright.PENANAlewfYig4JO
"Okay, I'll be waiting."938Please respect copyright.PENANAMibVBZbRoM
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.938Please respect copyright.PENANAOLKONctNwJ
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAMOBSAHJTSg
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."938Please respect copyright.PENANA8FqFQQtspA
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAGIjeHj05eS
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."938Please respect copyright.PENANANpM3wzpuqQ
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.938Please respect copyright.PENANArjQ3uF527B
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."938Please respect copyright.PENANA3an5VJDlgL
I shook my head. I was 938Please respect copyright.PENANAimfWHbIo9p
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 938Please respect copyright.PENANAbQd4rte6IF
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 938Please respect copyright.PENANAJKiqspFhH4
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.938Please respect copyright.PENANAW8vr21H8Et
After walking a few feet938Please respect copyright.PENANA722anOj3sk
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 938Please respect copyright.PENANAhalK9ZQDw3
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was938Please respect copyright.PENANAfUk9pyFYGz
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 938Please respect copyright.PENANAZuO1IWQ6VW
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.938Please respect copyright.PENANAkVy3O33mJM
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAt4MW6348Jn
None of them answered as938Please respect copyright.PENANAa1gzJWoftK
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 938Please respect copyright.PENANAcxEfIrP6x6
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 938Please respect copyright.PENANAixSNbLqVXU
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.938Please respect copyright.PENANASzVnLDcMT9
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.938Please respect copyright.PENANAfX72G6vi9j
"I wasn't going to say 938Please respect copyright.PENANAoyKKvIGaZa
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing938Please respect copyright.PENANA2FPjosofQp
you would want to hear from me is advice."938Please respect copyright.PENANAUnKnt9Glty
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 938Please respect copyright.PENANATK6Su5RfYM
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.938Please respect copyright.PENANAQEf3rCuK1T
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."938Please respect copyright.PENANAm3Ngz5XcZl
"I'm still upset, though."938Please respect copyright.PENANAiRZqIcYIT6
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."938Please respect copyright.PENANAAnoJ3xcMms
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."938Please respect copyright.PENANASQJbAfHOUv
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."938Please respect copyright.PENANAsmQyD6pPux
I gave TOP an assuring 938Please respect copyright.PENANAXNWTBBvR78
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way938Please respect copyright.PENANA4C54KrNePe
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 938Please respect copyright.PENANAj257VWe3j9
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I938Please respect copyright.PENANAHV3MKAeLXl
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't938Please respect copyright.PENANAMIcvwgwXrx
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 938Please respect copyright.PENANAmzftFuw5g1
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.938Please respect copyright.PENANAbq3nPRv12g
We all found ourselves 938Please respect copyright.PENANA2L0zvGUlrl
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins938Please respect copyright.PENANALHtZo5PKaD
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 938Please respect copyright.PENANA6clZ0l8Egp
were waiting for me. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAKzZIXjSJKj
"Hey, Sam, you don't 938Please respect copyright.PENANAOzUfzsgumx
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 938Please respect copyright.PENANAjO1NJR6q6I
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.938Please respect copyright.PENANAv4lhaza3sK
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."938Please respect copyright.PENANATP0RwNp3Eu
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 938Please respect copyright.PENANAb1IRbeBuqI
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 938Please respect copyright.PENANAkHoeb3FtD2
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch938Please respect copyright.PENANADIXcSMoRNr
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 938Please respect copyright.PENANAZa4tBDg85X
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.938Please respect copyright.PENANAlXx63BARMA
I had my eyes closed 938Please respect copyright.PENANAz2kUPHwhfD
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found938Please respect copyright.PENANAg6EpVCRaxG
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.938Please respect copyright.PENANADZ8uBMrVOD
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."938Please respect copyright.PENANAzO8Nt5ubeK
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.938Please respect copyright.PENANAdpLmJXqrmE
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."938Please respect copyright.PENANAKpra4jQr2I
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."938Please respect copyright.PENANAtxqM4D7HKi
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."938Please respect copyright.PENANAYAXMNSMkUN
Taeyang led me to his 938Please respect copyright.PENANASWnUokN5Ue
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 938Please respect copyright.PENANAEJWMzBmtnk
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 938Please respect copyright.PENANAx9ijoCzmQr
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.938Please respect copyright.PENANAl2eXTNrarr
In about thirty minutes,938Please respect copyright.PENANAkVIzv4WS41
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 938Please respect copyright.PENANAqFdYFvHKzq
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWGv7mxvq07
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 938Please respect copyright.PENANAiw9U5XUPb1
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 938Please respect copyright.PENANARs8DFu04Yc
appeared out of the elevator.938Please respect copyright.PENANAEZdnH9GpYi
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"938Please respect copyright.PENANASj12d5E3CX
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.938Please respect copyright.PENANAsXG8c9tZ3Q
Lee who stood behind 938Please respect copyright.PENANAYqfXfuukit
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 938Please respect copyright.PENANAG3IgSRGnk0
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 938Please respect copyright.PENANAxxSpdJ1YH4
other things in mind.938Please respect copyright.PENANAtra1Mdj2BA
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAv80uym2BcO
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 938Please respect copyright.PENANA8E2Dazu63p
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 938Please respect copyright.PENANAb4h1kcyKC3
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.938Please respect copyright.PENANAOhKOAVETWg
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANA23ghhJuB0g
"We didn't just go there to have fun," I said, with my head down. "If there's anyone to blame for all this, it's me."938Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4Yue6rknq
There was an awkward 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWh2noDJ3Or
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,938Please respect copyright.PENANAkyr5HtGTYn
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.938Please respect copyright.PENANAYcmLIWSVFJ
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAmlBAj8WnTt
"Well, I hear the press 938Please respect copyright.PENANA8a9PO8HwbG
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon938Please respect copyright.PENANAIjjeu9FyNF
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."938Please respect copyright.PENANAcHzbETsVqm
"That won't be 938Please respect copyright.PENANAggl5Pyxcta
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 938Please respect copyright.PENANAHyTpHBnN9Q
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to938Please respect copyright.PENANADabQgBvBYq
go to the press looking all wet."938Please respect copyright.PENANAlllfbSOHCr
I breathed out a sigh of938Please respect copyright.PENANAV2Urwj0B8J
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 938Please respect copyright.PENANAoukJ4zUcYo
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.938Please respect copyright.PENANA8YPu4CNoKN
"In the meantime, you go938Please respect copyright.PENANAmZDcc2jiI0
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 938Please respect copyright.PENANAYSo9ylWSp5
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."938Please respect copyright.PENANAxNimNc0SVh
I nodded my head in 938Please respect copyright.PENANAjKrYmt6Knl
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 938Please respect copyright.PENANAQArI1hyrPv
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.938Please respect copyright.PENANAX8Bam7ArVE
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.938Please respect copyright.PENANApq3ujGn6C6
"Alright," I said 938Please respect copyright.PENANAarD6XkqgP8
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 938Please respect copyright.PENANAsbZZ3Bap5I
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like938Please respect copyright.PENANA08aqmLc5bf
I was only making things worse.938Please respect copyright.PENANApSF0bLIDfU
Before I turned to leave938Please respect copyright.PENANAGD27kT7rMq
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 938Please respect copyright.PENANAcPziTPnkyf
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 938Please respect copyright.PENANARZTV5uJ2m0
one.938Please respect copyright.PENANAZzb4d922yE
***938Please respect copyright.PENANA6hs8gtvlVC
I sat on the couch all 938Please respect copyright.PENANAFz6VJxq1ty
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued938Please respect copyright.PENANADeGdQNgZg7
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"938Please respect copyright.PENANAEjOM6YCbEi
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAr7eCQiycJ4
I had a box of paper 938Please respect copyright.PENANAgWzo9whBut
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my938Please respect copyright.PENANAvheq7y2af0
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 938Please respect copyright.PENANAPuobm0ZbY8
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.938Please respect copyright.PENANAnnL5dkSeIe
I continued watching the938Please respect copyright.PENANA1iNDLhSebt
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 938Please respect copyright.PENANAjkEk4oOGbO
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.938Please respect copyright.PENANADfzZReEqSr
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.938Please respect copyright.PENANAHzx1Q8B61g
"Never better," I said, 938Please respect copyright.PENANAZmej0tXyR6
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 938Please respect copyright.PENANA4laGsn2qpS
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."938Please respect copyright.PENANAU9glmoXumQ
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.938Please respect copyright.PENANAwGhb2KX9KO
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.938Please respect copyright.PENANA84B7wqpWCb
"Ya, I'm actually enjoying it," I said as I put in a spoonful of chicken soup in my mouth. Mmm, it was so tasty.938Please respect copyright.PENANANV0LJeJzDB
"And the others?" 938Please respect copyright.PENANA2nm2hJQjwa
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.938Please respect copyright.PENANAJvW44xN4Ty
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.938Please respect copyright.PENANA8B7MERena5
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAkIXTOAaxg1
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.938Please respect copyright.PENANATn00MXhMHY
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.938Please respect copyright.PENANAZVpTpJfz27
"You don't know or you are?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAkcpkkNNi3j
I shrugged my shoulders. To be completely honest, I am still mad, but then again, I felt like I wasn't and that felt confusing.938Please respect copyright.PENANAs9Fgjj3P2r
"I don't know, Tae," I 938Please respect copyright.PENANAx82pC6IbiX
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 938Please respect copyright.PENANAHRQgHRcyRD
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 938Please respect copyright.PENANAEVlakneG87
forget all that happened yesterday."938Please respect copyright.PENANAr7gnqPdQ8R
"Ya, I understand. They 938Please respect copyright.PENANAGw8w32G55O
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 938Please respect copyright.PENANAyxKGjB3r9O
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were938Please respect copyright.PENANAwPVQZQrkas
going to get."938Please respect copyright.PENANAl9rIplD0kO
I looked on at Taeyang 938Please respect copyright.PENANAn5ZPGepQrW
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 938Please respect copyright.PENANApKz1wRKszB
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWWAwL6ywc7
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 938Please respect copyright.PENANAGSDZFcuCEV
who was as tough as nails.938Please respect copyright.PENANAf3h5A7sfsM
Last night, I took the 938Please respect copyright.PENANA22KxvFyluH
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 938Please respect copyright.PENANAJvVrlHyk5D
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 938Please respect copyright.PENANAa9zoTv3LzT
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 938Please respect copyright.PENANA0k2VZ6bjoy
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAtTpoiAniXP
Apparently, the managers938Please respect copyright.PENANAm3ZsEGbTuW
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 938Please respect copyright.PENANAe6TKAxOJ5S
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought938Please respect copyright.PENANAuK97hyl7yd
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 938Please respect copyright.PENANArtAiKZaD6y
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 938Please respect copyright.PENANAcl3VixNgkN
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 938Please respect copyright.PENANAm3nUXxa9N0
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 938Please respect copyright.PENANAU2pHp92x2e
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 938Please respect copyright.PENANAwXeotrx0p1
and the reporters.938Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2LKoAXVmX
After my confrontation 938Please respect copyright.PENANAnXXwrh6aAY
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I938Please respect copyright.PENANAjSkqowmwoZ
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,938Please respect copyright.PENANABFeTgwipAP
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.938Please respect copyright.PENANAwhXpFbpdqO
"Huh, I guess am still upset," I said, as I took in another spoon of soup in my mouth. "Especially after what GD did to me."938Please respect copyright.PENANAvkBHW8I3Ra
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.938Please respect copyright.PENANAumkdFD98wM
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."938Please respect copyright.PENANAYTcISwDBOW
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."938Please respect copyright.PENANAbqlJDGdAsM
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."938Please respect copyright.PENANAB8YWCC9EBj
"Have you tried talking to GD?"938Please respect copyright.PENANApaWoeCTEfI
"To be honest, I haven't938Please respect copyright.PENANAeWGR3AtPu0
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 938Please respect copyright.PENANApZ53aYOaAR
slap him in the face if I see him."938Please respect copyright.PENANA0Vo8rh1ExZ
"I don't doubt that."938Please respect copyright.PENANA3qvVX0uanz
"And thank goodness my 938Please respect copyright.PENANAqK1SzalaJH
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 938Please respect copyright.PENANAAoQNDWVlbk
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I938Please respect copyright.PENANAQnWnhzgWYa
want to do is watch some TV."938Please respect copyright.PENANAUjrzxWvvCp
I quickly drank my 938Please respect copyright.PENANA9MAZIKyeP7
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 938Please respect copyright.PENANA9JaUclYEhf
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 938Please respect copyright.PENANAaD8LWApyh6
to.938Please respect copyright.PENANAR8MqJmFZNR
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.938Please respect copyright.PENANAO0eDItzUxQ
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.938Please respect copyright.PENANAmAt2bftHKt
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"938Please respect copyright.PENANA1bXD4TJICO
"Nope."938Please respect copyright.PENANAFzySOgf93Y
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.938Please respect copyright.PENANAMnWsma3TTi
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAbRCGl7etEW
Taeyang didn't say 938Please respect copyright.PENANAdkfbUADfiI
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened938Please respect copyright.PENANA6lzgIfT9fs
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."938Please respect copyright.PENANAvSHfJwilAl
"I know you fought or 938Please respect copyright.PENANA9orKd8m2za
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 938Please respect copyright.PENANA1fkYJwCjrA
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."938Please respect copyright.PENANAlWrGPncRG2
I noticed Taeyang smile 938Please respect copyright.PENANAhU75UGFOKg
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 938Please respect copyright.PENANAuK69wYQvK1
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 938Please respect copyright.PENANAoy0cULqAUT
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.938Please respect copyright.PENANASb1KTB64Vi
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.938Please respect copyright.PENANAz2DKPgkVmK
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."938Please respect copyright.PENANAkJtlhM7n8T
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?938Please respect copyright.PENANAxBWpx5bHg7
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.938Please respect copyright.PENANAZqNGtIuRXe
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."938Please respect copyright.PENANARoyFGI6nOv
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."938Please respect copyright.PENANAtkYW24yh8u
Before I could finish my938Please respect copyright.PENANAPPRpHJvKDW
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 938Please respect copyright.PENANAOjTFQ97f9d
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.938Please respect copyright.PENANAdhioS380Sb
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.938Please respect copyright.PENANAK56vKYfn87
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.938Please respect copyright.PENANAmFdu90ZOP5
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."938Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ3PuqcRzM
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."938Please respect copyright.PENANAXRkwnZdgbf
"Yep, cheers to that." 938Please respect copyright.PENANAZUDbrgj2sr
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANA9NL6yk5Ed6
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.938Please respect copyright.PENANAyoYaPy2pUj
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAf3rPKcYIZT
"We can't work on it without you," said Taeyang. "You and G-Dragon decided that the both of you would work on it together."938Please respect copyright.PENANA8kVUknLrLD
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."938Please respect copyright.PENANAJWcCxhpAQC
"Wow, that sounds personal."938Please respect copyright.PENANARfWnd4cEdK
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."938Please respect copyright.PENANAdv6CfsDwpN
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"938Please respect copyright.PENANArg5U5gWOrJ
"I think I've a better 938Please respect copyright.PENANAo3T2l5sS1H
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 938Please respect copyright.PENANAEw19PQtpFE
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 938Please respect copyright.PENANAtKzrh0dPY3
lyrics. It's better that way."938Please respect copyright.PENANAO8HQI0eLUe
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAmTyiB5gW5G
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."938Please respect copyright.PENANArSmzOxnoU9
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."938Please respect copyright.PENANAcYlLja5hLh
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."938Please respect copyright.PENANARr12Npof5g
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."938Please respect copyright.PENANAan4zLqBY62
"Haha, good point."938Please respect copyright.PENANAgrlNEhAfDF
Taeyang and I continued 938Please respect copyright.PENANAni85nvLI3h
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 938Please respect copyright.PENANAylJCCOkaRt
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 938Please respect copyright.PENANAzEDgfEEjXw
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we938Please respect copyright.PENANALDD1BbEUDB
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 938Please respect copyright.PENANAlf1o8OqcR8
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 938Please respect copyright.PENANAzUuzJsDUEG
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 938Please respect copyright.PENANA7P6fnKaCRQ
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 938Please respect copyright.PENANA2zC8h5ghI9
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.938Please respect copyright.PENANAY2zXzMiIvZ
While the two of us were938Please respect copyright.PENANACsn81R4rAk
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,938Please respect copyright.PENANAqwYSAo4Q7y
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAlRrp1lWtjb
I quickly went over to 938Please respect copyright.PENANAA2ydzmaZAd
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was938Please respect copyright.PENANA5q62gm9Hzl
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung938Please respect copyright.PENANAe0NJxmqjDJ
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could938Please respect copyright.PENANAd3qgcxkTGD
come up and I put the receiver down.938Please respect copyright.PENANAFgcE4TzZpD
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."938Please respect copyright.PENANAy1v9p7Ly3h
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."938Please respect copyright.PENANAQgrkNSiifv
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."938Please respect copyright.PENANAt9jrchoaP0
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.938Please respect copyright.PENANAhgf1QeZHoS
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.938Please respect copyright.PENANALfz2Ynf3Nn
"Eww, that pillow 938Please respect copyright.PENANAs4xjXVMs4Y
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 938Please respect copyright.PENANABowJZ9rGx2
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.938Please respect copyright.PENANAQKri7LyEq0
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.938Please respect copyright.PENANAflB8FV1bdd
A few seconds later, we 938Please respect copyright.PENANASNSVhqWwru
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 938Please respect copyright.PENANAQPuDloBKRs
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 938Please respect copyright.PENANA2tE1GDHA0W
holding a box of chocolates.938Please respect copyright.PENANA491rOwKnhT
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.938Please respect copyright.PENANAefPkMzLGRu
"Ah, no, the panda is a 938Please respect copyright.PENANA8sEvo6kQri
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 938Please respect copyright.PENANAGhQ4xsw1bk
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 938Please respect copyright.PENANAOB8MvzOj53
same time.938Please respect copyright.PENANAEp0updTr1m
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."938Please respect copyright.PENANAbH4Ux9OTEX
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.938Please respect copyright.PENANAKHBazMN4wD
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAuy3O8OS8jC
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."938Please respect copyright.PENANAPNn96KCeYw
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.938Please respect copyright.PENANANcwlIKVFha
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.938Please respect copyright.PENANAcAk58yoJK0
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."938Please respect copyright.PENANAzfkXpCXy5U
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.938Please respect copyright.PENANAKvJNmn5X5G
"For goodness sake, I 938Please respect copyright.PENANAq4X0RJQGXG
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 938Please respect copyright.PENANAk2rYTtL2ry
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 938Please respect copyright.PENANApxjduAAYKc
scared with me."938Please respect copyright.PENANAsxsntWdfoN
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.938Please respect copyright.PENANAulohBmgoBE
I took the panda in my 938Please respect copyright.PENANAnZXWJEHhyK
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 938Please respect copyright.PENANA1FA1EfkXet
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWiebrsohm8
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 938Please respect copyright.PENANAHOyLF29cNe
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.938Please respect copyright.PENANAsvb0lXKkJq
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."938Please respect copyright.PENANAvmtqpF8jNJ
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."938Please respect copyright.PENANALSHoQ1WSPd
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAfomEFAJ4kv
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.938Please respect copyright.PENANAzEeJttTIiH
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."938Please respect copyright.PENANADpg9fPIe9C
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I938Please respect copyright.PENANAxOBkkqyt7a
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 938Please respect copyright.PENANA7SrJIibjVt
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 938Please respect copyright.PENANAR8IoPIGxtb
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."938Please respect copyright.PENANAjqybPhdKJv
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."938Please respect copyright.PENANA95OnmUtvqI
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."938Please respect copyright.PENANAPX9rsfSVY3
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.938Please respect copyright.PENANAl6s8IglYL9
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."938Please respect copyright.PENANAUVlr4mqFD9
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.938Please respect copyright.PENANAnZgkO37B9Y
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."938Please respect copyright.PENANA8F0w0GmG38
"Ya, I do."938Please respect copyright.PENANADnEqQQAtdM
While the four of us 938Please respect copyright.PENANAOe8X9ziExv
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 938Please respect copyright.PENANA3aPKfSA0yB
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 938Please respect copyright.PENANAXX0sq8cJfc
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 938Please respect copyright.PENANAP7OyKV18j0
said:938Please respect copyright.PENANAdA4wN6wjsx
"Hey, Zoey." 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWj6bDRS5XK
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAPdDwTCB8oM
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."938Please respect copyright.PENANAlcUGwGrH0l
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.938Please respect copyright.PENANA9DKq6lKiQP
"It's good you came to 938Please respect copyright.PENANAt9McI9bJWf
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 938Please respect copyright.PENANAXMNsHeimiO
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 938Please respect copyright.PENANA95Y3YPPZFH
couch.938Please respect copyright.PENANALNTeaIBGPw
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"938Please respect copyright.PENANA7JJ7GdxjaQ
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"938Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ08a0gEP4
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANACYPxaB8SqF
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAfE2QdLTgfx
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.938Please respect copyright.PENANA8NTVYUdNAs
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.938Please respect copyright.PENANAEabXBi0ZHY
I tugged at my panda's 938Please respect copyright.PENANAjhYxpiy1TS
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it938Please respect copyright.PENANAGVRlIgbvsC
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking938Please respect copyright.PENANAi1hBIjlK28
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.938Please respect copyright.PENANAVhwHy2DXUd
The Toxins came back to 938Please respect copyright.PENANAW9Ju4O4qLz
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held938Please respect copyright.PENANAkH920lVp5B
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine938Please respect copyright.PENANAKvyRFJx8XS
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.938Please respect copyright.PENANAcaV1g4kcJH
For a moment, no one 938Please respect copyright.PENANASlYi6bOVUz
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 938Please respect copyright.PENANAH79q502r57
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.938Please respect copyright.PENANARyHbVcuoG0
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.938Please respect copyright.PENANAduECqnPu8f
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAu2yCHkaoMw
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.938Please respect copyright.PENANAptD7l2vlkD
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."938Please respect copyright.PENANAwXyJ6MxF3X
I stared up at the 938Please respect copyright.PENANARtxtPKkvsd
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 938Please respect copyright.PENANAxV14npED4m
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.938Please respect copyright.PENANAxOqTrONCWZ
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."938Please respect copyright.PENANAOHYGbOEkXu
When Zoey tried to reach938Please respect copyright.PENANA2F3MZPPyns
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 938Please respect copyright.PENANA9ufQRUSWkU
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.938Please respect copyright.PENANAaY3XtYWjjh
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.938Please respect copyright.PENANANHsgQoCzxk
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.938Please respect copyright.PENANAdj9UqrX0KQ
Zoey looked hurt with 938Please respect copyright.PENANAQcK6uC3LUV
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 938Please respect copyright.PENANAiYPxfsQNro
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.938Please respect copyright.PENANAe6YfO9Mbkw
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAI3OnOqVSHA
I didn't answer as I put938Please respect copyright.PENANAfeZStzTAQQ
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I938Please respect copyright.PENANAO0pNaSvRtT
was still mad, especially at Zoey.938Please respect copyright.PENANAHDTXniGerI
"I know it's a little 938Please respect copyright.PENANA0NyChEWD90
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 938Please respect copyright.PENANAe7iqpnLpkd
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 938Please respect copyright.PENANA4setHvapNj
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 938Please respect copyright.PENANAeouLQPNw1d
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 938Please respect copyright.PENANALY0SHdaWMA
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 938Please respect copyright.PENANA1k54URlP4P
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."938Please respect copyright.PENANA6r9bzMZc8o
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.938Please respect copyright.PENANA7sfHOJ2sfp
"I don't like it when 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWAUm43arOy
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 938Please respect copyright.PENANAq2lCIfn7W1
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 938Please respect copyright.PENANAzCAFDP04fJ
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 938Please respect copyright.PENANAjV9nxRHStR
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 938Please respect copyright.PENANAunvOj1wHBt
sorry, Sam."938Please respect copyright.PENANAQGVDGBI71R
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."938Please respect copyright.PENANA2IDgT0shEc
"I'm sorry too," said 938Please respect copyright.PENANANFIsw6GNvC
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 938Please respect copyright.PENANAwEG9KpRV2d
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 938Please respect copyright.PENANA7BqxbbIJ5P
for you to talk to us again."938Please respect copyright.PENANAhrq6PuDxVS
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 938Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZEmZP9bFP
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 938Please respect copyright.PENANAHj36XGqDpo
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 938Please respect copyright.PENANAeY0bIr0nCq
leader."938Please respect copyright.PENANAdKpnRoCKf2
I still didn't say a 938Please respect copyright.PENANAiq0fP2Nr49
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 938Please respect copyright.PENANAPLRpedumWZ
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 938Please respect copyright.PENANApxQ8vgzZOI
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 938Please respect copyright.PENANAcNB90Amd6P
them despite the awful things they put me through.938Please respect copyright.PENANAXaTHQdgjMS
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAH3mKWNX1nV
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."938Please respect copyright.PENANAYHAxnJEC2V
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.938Please respect copyright.PENANAmjSTfWT4S1
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.938Please respect copyright.PENANApfMAIxtr8r
"I'm mad and pretty much938Please respect copyright.PENANAHlsY61sr26
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 938Please respect copyright.PENANARJLrSQLK0m
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."938Please respect copyright.PENANANCIIz4QCLI
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAiTSCj84wRZ
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."938Please respect copyright.PENANA2HFDiST0Yb
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.938Please respect copyright.PENANAJbvajL3cCA
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 938Please respect copyright.PENANA4nziIbrFfm
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 938Please respect copyright.PENANALQFd8I1YdH
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."938Please respect copyright.PENANA6yOOEP0oag
"Ah, you! Always acting 938Please respect copyright.PENANAeG8uRhtsWq
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 938Please respect copyright.PENANAPVguiaf2da
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 938Please respect copyright.PENANAwmyR2uZGXq
catch it anyway."938Please respect copyright.PENANAwGGCJ4DyF0
Christine, Daniel and 938Please respect copyright.PENANA52B6b2SdYz
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAKeCgGej8vX
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 938Please respect copyright.PENANAAwvIuJ3tJA
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.938Please respect copyright.PENANA8t0zRVvLbd
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.938Please respect copyright.PENANAqJgKF4U09J
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.938Please respect copyright.PENANA4RKNYTjbCv
"Ya, I'm glad we did," I said, as I felt my nose twitch. "Can you guys please stop hugging me, I'm about to...."938Please respect copyright.PENANAmBdS1kdXDg
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.938Please respect copyright.PENANAP4s1JOxaxn
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."938Please respect copyright.PENANAT6gYxnYEnp
"Don't worry, you won't 938Please respect copyright.PENANAOrfOa06p6L
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 938Please respect copyright.PENANAVcVwPrsN4h
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.938Please respect copyright.PENANAMN4d0TLm5I
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.938Please respect copyright.PENANAv6jO67vb4d
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.938Please respect copyright.PENANAfmliKNNgHd
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAdGLjyGe3qN
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."938Please respect copyright.PENANAlgqfKg4ZcG
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.938Please respect copyright.PENANAIpxxMogKNO
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAGbkTm9zVVR
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAKZItCF1utf
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."938Please respect copyright.PENANAon66eu2cUL
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.938Please respect copyright.PENANAmvmkRzJpRK
At that moment, I had 938Please respect copyright.PENANAL2Vg1u6Iak
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.938Please respect copyright.PENANAWws8htcFOk
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.938Please respect copyright.PENANAiYS1G14uZU
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANASf864t1yEJ
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.938Please respect copyright.PENANAFBgIwiwD3f
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."938Please respect copyright.PENANA4uSeFLG64A
Zoey got the box of 938Please respect copyright.PENANAcCm5XYPxVV
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 938Please respect copyright.PENANA5YiZu3oFDa
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.938Please respect copyright.PENANAN30zhOkNHf
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.938Please respect copyright.PENANAg1lSKnSILS
I was in the passage as I938Please respect copyright.PENANAGsnpkz9Ate
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 938Please respect copyright.PENANAR3Z74JGkkC
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed938Please respect copyright.PENANARkQEDTa9G0
in what felt like sadness.938Please respect copyright.PENANAX2JFa1XgNV
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.938Please respect copyright.PENANARDCvrseOWO
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."938Please respect copyright.PENANAPCUlGPB0k7
I heard his footsteps 938Please respect copyright.PENANAyUoh0Gh8Ri
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 938Please respect copyright.PENANAbRvVvuGhDg
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.938Please respect copyright.PENANA9lSpurK3xh
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANA46KWSzBzqu
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAg3nRS22dAp
"Are we really do this right now?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAKRvrPaBvc0
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 938Please respect copyright.PENANARQlnBd6qED
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.938Please respect copyright.PENANAlb36PC7oGJ
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAZFU3J53kw5
"Nope." 938Please respect copyright.PENANAxvf2ATAZot
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."938Please respect copyright.PENANAnINIAciQVG
My eyes almost felt like938Please respect copyright.PENANApVC85keNAm
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 938Please respect copyright.PENANA0WEHY8ACPZ
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.938Please respect copyright.PENANAlkmy4iyEGD
I turned to look at him 938Please respect copyright.PENANAjP1vCt4eXR
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 938Please respect copyright.PENANAH9VQQdHUOq
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.938Please respect copyright.PENANA9FOQ6Ncf2p
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.938Please respect copyright.PENANAk4Dq0WjilY
"That you're surrounded 938Please respect copyright.PENANAyARnXaQDlg
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 938Please respect copyright.PENANAOpDhkZnnr5
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 938Please respect copyright.PENANAwlxwyBiHbW
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."938Please respect copyright.PENANAs2gVBvxbFf
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 938Please respect copyright.PENANApG7oKQa3i5
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."938Please respect copyright.PENANALwLzOV7x6X
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAXX6P3iuf25
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."938Please respect copyright.PENANAJynH5oS76l
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."938Please respect copyright.PENANAt7KjppnS6M
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAttUK1VhKgl
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."938Please respect copyright.PENANAzYT1RcsLlb
Apparently, I couldn't 938Please respect copyright.PENANAoKFlXiPHBm
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 938Please respect copyright.PENANAKjBZMikNEC
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 938Please respect copyright.PENANAOBWYE4kvH2
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 938Please respect copyright.PENANAVMyRTYlm9i
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 938Please respect copyright.PENANAFdednzQ1Hk
death.938Please respect copyright.PENANAa6ZVdFJgKh
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.938Please respect copyright.PENANA19URDGLqcu
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."938Please respect copyright.PENANAvuUskb6UaE
Taeyang folded his arms 938Please respect copyright.PENANAiSzQGmkJUn
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think938Please respect copyright.PENANAAMVLNIruWe
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."938Please respect copyright.PENANArl1PfmJaeU
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.938Please respect copyright.PENANAf3ek6V2pYV
"You're may think you're938Please respect copyright.PENANACd4g1wGG2Z
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 938Please respect copyright.PENANAXG2LV7L92p
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 938Please respect copyright.PENANAnVaZdMYwMu
but feeling hurt."938Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zi95Gihdb
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.938Please respect copyright.PENANA3fPhAGgsUV
"But I wouldn't feel 938Please respect copyright.PENANA0D707pzXse
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 938Please respect copyright.PENANAaL3EC4Qp9K
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 938Please respect copyright.PENANAcpywlBxRNc
at Taeyang.938Please respect copyright.PENANAoQuQkuoLO3
Taeyang gave me that 938Please respect copyright.PENANAtDgcp23X6m
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 938Please respect copyright.PENANAK31PFskjxL
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 938Please respect copyright.PENANAuzLgjKVfZp
while in return, he nodded.938Please respect copyright.PENANAjoXfMmWdxN
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAMrC2As906b
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."938Please respect copyright.PENANAyBZLyIR3M3
I didn't say a word as I938Please respect copyright.PENANARRnFlHUqun
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my938Please respect copyright.PENANAcOpXFgYAFt
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 938Please respect copyright.PENANAy91QY3Mckw
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWCqnkHAn8B
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.938Please respect copyright.PENANA0OxocxCip5
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."938Please respect copyright.PENANAjdVbrEYNLE
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."938Please respect copyright.PENANAQtziNS2Cru
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."938Please respect copyright.PENANAYFvodkYzVz
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAQLt3NgCdMk
If there was ever a way I938Please respect copyright.PENANAfT5AZRwfCc
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 938Please respect copyright.PENANAQVZc23U9gh
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 938Please respect copyright.PENANAwd2UJIKBTF
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.938Please respect copyright.PENANAyUMSLQRxVt
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAMLKTW7B3UC
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAcExalFuR7A
When I came out, I still found Taeyang where I had left him and the two of us went to join the others entering the elevator.938Please respect copyright.PENANAL8DVwkh3YT
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.938Please respect copyright.PENANARnhZC7tro8
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAC0JEFwVR1V
"Well, I'm just asking,"938Please respect copyright.PENANAXjhspRbypW
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,938Please respect copyright.PENANAN32kMnmgnv
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."938Please respect copyright.PENANATKyJ9JA5Gc
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.938Please respect copyright.PENANA6GE4f6ESWd
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.938Please respect copyright.PENANA0woOJrB0oB
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.938Please respect copyright.PENANAHCgycA5oG8
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.938Please respect copyright.PENANARCWJBe3qP2
I pressed the button 938Please respect copyright.PENANAT92zKe6Bqk
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 938Please respect copyright.PENANAGAe5DrZLhR
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 938Please respect copyright.PENANAnTHWnmb8VA
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.938Please respect copyright.PENANAF50EkM4avm
We went to the main 938Please respect copyright.PENANAkEEyBhJu3O
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for938Please respect copyright.PENANAxw0vjKMng4
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWI4qOJW36C
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.938Please respect copyright.PENANAs6u4mO1oRE
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.938Please respect copyright.PENANAdBPH9MsvYe
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAo2zvygcpQD
"To be honest, we just 938Please respect copyright.PENANA3R3T0OeUFR
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAk0wQp2MZsu
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."938Please respect copyright.PENANAEOk26YjVqd
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.938Please respect copyright.PENANAswEkUQl3dE
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.938Please respect copyright.PENANAMD3YSkNTbf
We all got to the table and before I could pull out my chair, Taeyang pulled the chair out for me and I glady sat.938Please respect copyright.PENANAoTdsa2Dl9d
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.938Please respect copyright.PENANAuOnS8cMWFm
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.938Please respect copyright.PENANA1kZLDiAVAb
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.938Please respect copyright.PENANABAJdRyqUft
"Nah, I don't think so,"938Please respect copyright.PENANAFmI24WWDLr
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so938Please respect copyright.PENANAGDzHwfMAot
he would be treating me like that."938Please respect copyright.PENANAiRWDCqCYzX
"Mmm, I don't think so,"938Please respect copyright.PENANAmrTtkMmURY
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 938Please respect copyright.PENANAjcukaI9RYO
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAHhzBk7vO7W
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."938Please respect copyright.PENANA3bE8n5rKoI
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.938Please respect copyright.PENANAxpyY8AQrFR
"Then, stop trying to make one."938Please respect copyright.PENANAH5nduJhITX
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."938Please respect copyright.PENANAI3Jk7XQ487
"Ya, me too," said Mike.938Please respect copyright.PENANA3xBTQ6kE8b
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.938Please respect copyright.PENANASYeJfY0LGL
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAN2LSwMWhVj
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.938Please respect copyright.PENANA3IUh6ICl3Z
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."938Please respect copyright.PENANAfUqmL14DlY
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAt7k8KnGRgv
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.938Please respect copyright.PENANAH2of4WsAxm
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."938Please respect copyright.PENANAgFf246I3YM
I didn't even dare try 938Please respect copyright.PENANADQ4hozwUUE
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 938Please respect copyright.PENANAzSce7A7SpA
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.938Please respect copyright.PENANAE2TjtzeQBK
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAiaK42kmUb1
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"938Please respect copyright.PENANALrLZy6Bki5
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.938Please respect copyright.PENANA31WOMLmwrC
I heard footsteps coming938Please respect copyright.PENANA3qJ0wwovXI
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 938Please respect copyright.PENANAKDJTMcMepe
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 938Please respect copyright.PENANA9WnT5ugXVJ
look at me.938Please respect copyright.PENANA3MAlzriHdn
"Are you okay?" he whispered.938Please respect copyright.PENANAVRxseOCMND
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.938Please respect copyright.PENANAOT61zugcOe
I soon felt strong hands938Please respect copyright.PENANATgYk0cvFla
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD938Please respect copyright.PENANAjirsaGX7AY
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.938Please respect copyright.PENANAoWizUDf89N
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"938Please respect copyright.PENANA4aRfKebE5u
"I'm a whole lot better,938Please respect copyright.PENANAToWsXmVT2w
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 938Please respect copyright.PENANADEwL2aXb79
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.938Please respect copyright.PENANAoqEw7E88T3
"Glad to hear that."938Please respect copyright.PENANAzFLcVvIuGd
When TOP let go of my shoulders and walked away to take his seat next to Mike, I heard G-Dragon's voice behind me.938Please respect copyright.PENANA6rTldCOOMb
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."938Please respect copyright.PENANANwmZjtytRj
I was planning not to 938Please respect copyright.PENANAiAC7loC0c2
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 938Please respect copyright.PENANAxNSpx31SRs
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 938Please respect copyright.PENANAxXz2FIYvFK
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to938Please respect copyright.PENANAR3cRhXkcE6
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 938Please respect copyright.PENANATWLPU34wQL
under the bridge.938Please respect copyright.PENANAsOwGPvYXd1
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."938Please respect copyright.PENANAzBYJlWyF6Y
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAI8EkvhA1O3
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."938Please respect copyright.PENANACpz65vavPW
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."938Please respect copyright.PENANA5ctbRohWht
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.938Please respect copyright.PENANAjuCCNo1JLT
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.938Please respect copyright.PENANAOhjgCI0BVT
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAX45fKAxqLE
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."938Please respect copyright.PENANA9EhAdoEcjp
The waiters soon came 938Please respect copyright.PENANAy28oTwvXea
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.938Please respect copyright.PENANAyOWShESDIh
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 938Please respect copyright.PENANAs0qjuQG9Va
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 938Please respect copyright.PENANAQi2Rz2WxoK
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.938Please respect copyright.PENANAZwVeV97AO8
For a moment, I felt 938Please respect copyright.PENANAR25AYjfcIi
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAIaYmVqWUo2
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 938Please respect copyright.PENANANxOgZrgWjB
me to forget that I was ever mad.938Please respect copyright.PENANAKdEqK1JPpq
"Mmm, this is so 938Please respect copyright.PENANAzOOVeZx0jv
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 938Please respect copyright.PENANADvd5f2ZuV3
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."938Please respect copyright.PENANAaUmFIoGnaa
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."938Please respect copyright.PENANA2yAbUb16bj
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."938Please respect copyright.PENANAgfwmQKxPNg
"Anything for you, Sam,"938Please respect copyright.PENANAGqYaKpsyqd
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 938Please respect copyright.PENANAEhYfWsXkAM
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."938Please respect copyright.PENANAQgfU7fHSu2
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANA1bWlZMiGYn
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.938Please respect copyright.PENANAUoCgFTuAHj
I had just taken in some938Please respect copyright.PENANAsaMhMXw8yL
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 938Please respect copyright.PENANAxL8r3jDHgP
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly938Please respect copyright.PENANARG3dq0f4rF
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 938Please respect copyright.PENANAk1BAPPehKa
just said.938Please respect copyright.PENANAJAGBAxMPwv
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAfvP8Jq5Dhw
"Well, ya," Christine 938Please respect copyright.PENANAjASfSxsv0A
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 938Please respect copyright.PENANAEpjWBInagI
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 938Please respect copyright.PENANAIz3Fw7vx9Q
special lunch to lighten your mood."938Please respect copyright.PENANA0b616McEj8
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.938Please respect copyright.PENANAWRVk2BZv0Y
"Thanks for the lunch, 938Please respect copyright.PENANAbxVE9O1SGO
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so938Please respect copyright.PENANAtXt7R55iYj
sweet of you to have come up with this."938Please respect copyright.PENANAnGKNZfNQUK
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.938Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9sDaTOHss
I almost felt like 938Please respect copyright.PENANAceexLJVM1V
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 938Please respect copyright.PENANAOm0dSCJ9NK
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare938Please respect copyright.PENANAFoWhAT5ZmW
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 938Please respect copyright.PENANAJkcUtfGQiK
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 938Please respect copyright.PENANARQIqysaoqa
turning into rage?938Please respect copyright.PENANADrfRde1O7s
Oh, goodness. I needed 938Please respect copyright.PENANAiNOMO7Y7jY
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 938Please respect copyright.PENANAEl9vynM5eF
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 938Please respect copyright.PENANAAkc2DGj67c
I tried to push aside 938Please respect copyright.PENANA8u5U3Bk8lI
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 938Please respect copyright.PENANA0jh69b1apg
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 938Please respect copyright.PENANAy3gXTRVmRS
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 938Please respect copyright.PENANAUPap0KFaKn
chocolate moussé.938Please respect copyright.PENANAb092mAgPPY
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,938Please respect copyright.PENANAE66w4IPdQi
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 938Please respect copyright.PENANAUYmzuf4aXV
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.938Please respect copyright.PENANAUsMRp7q6fl
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.938Please respect copyright.PENANA5puv7Vkh2n
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."938Please respect copyright.PENANAdbSZLSGrnS
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.938Please respect copyright.PENANAfF0INgCYMN
I didn't wait for 938Please respect copyright.PENANAuaSJWekK9J
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I938Please respect copyright.PENANA54A5m6Etx5
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed938Please respect copyright.PENANAM182cBCueo
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 938Please respect copyright.PENANARE9VpmOsWP
heaven.938Please respect copyright.PENANAoNfMKUM2wR
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.938Please respect copyright.PENANAdbc15q7PTA
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."938Please respect copyright.PENANA4lz0EM9PKR
"I don't care," I said 938Please respect copyright.PENANAmzkBSYHq8I
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 938Please respect copyright.PENANAAcAqkdPJAu
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."938Please respect copyright.PENANAd2VklaAnoY
G-Dragon smiled back at 938Please respect copyright.PENANAUunYO9SDIW
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 938Please respect copyright.PENANAXhREQL3n77
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 938Please respect copyright.PENANAaqeePSrUmR
away.938Please respect copyright.PENANA2HjcR7o7Ln
After dessert, we all 938Please respect copyright.PENANAAXKHrAhhEM
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 938Please respect copyright.PENANAShyKmeGY4f
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 938Please respect copyright.PENANAX8Lg3lmNzN
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 938Please respect copyright.PENANAzqSixNQOsg
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 938Please respect copyright.PENANA91laD1QpSB
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 938Please respect copyright.PENANACkiBrdWfoF
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.938Please respect copyright.PENANAoIoenjXQuD
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAMEksqIIhxy
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.938Please respect copyright.PENANAw92DiESKwG
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."938Please respect copyright.PENANAafmiW8moRu
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.938Please respect copyright.PENANAnxnbKmGDjL
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."938Please respect copyright.PENANAiOVPQ7iDmW
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."938Please respect copyright.PENANALRtDgj1Qmq
"What stuff?" TOP asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAClj0gmcDE2
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAtm4NPnuOLg
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."938Please respect copyright.PENANAMSrmGsfj3m
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.938Please respect copyright.PENANAaPVDtEfqqS
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.938Please respect copyright.PENANA9DEG6ZilFH
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.938Please respect copyright.PENANAvw0IOz5kMW
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.938Please respect copyright.PENANAi3br4xL8wb
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."938Please respect copyright.PENANAyWf9pqU8Qf
"Wait, what's going on?"938Please respect copyright.PENANATUTpOq7Jrc
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 938Please respect copyright.PENANA5HwFYwBwEy
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAd4Na1CzZqU
"I thought we should all938Please respect copyright.PENANASAsFZLON4k
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 938Please respect copyright.PENANANrywgBGFXn
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."938Please respect copyright.PENANAqUbyhezL3F
"But why do we have to put our heads together if there is you and G-Dragon who are better at song writing?" TOP asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAiEqhe2Np5m
"I don't know, I feel we938Please respect copyright.PENANAfsl6dD3946
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.938Please respect copyright.PENANACdxr8PeHFK
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out938Please respect copyright.PENANACDw2ukFTMM
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."938Please respect copyright.PENANAjq1xmtUcvu
"I don't get it though,"938Please respect copyright.PENANAjG24RuLi0j
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 938Please respect copyright.PENANACTDN5lh6PV
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write938Please respect copyright.PENANAGQWKwO8qB1
the lyrics?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAzOFprps7FB
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.938Please respect copyright.PENANAZtte14nTVF
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ6Rb6IJcJ
This time, I also raised938Please respect copyright.PENANA4QH12lzCuE
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 938Please respect copyright.PENANA6cM8kAoSnr
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.938Please respect copyright.PENANALg04a9pYh5
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAmUJabiLdum
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.938Please respect copyright.PENANASmP1AU6pmB
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.938Please respect copyright.PENANAx577iGDG12
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAKbl7fthHEE
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."938Please respect copyright.PENANAiLyqFfRgzN
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAONXorYa2P1
By the way G-Dragon 938Please respect copyright.PENANAW2Tbz5Zjrh
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 938Please respect copyright.PENANA4y0wwmQxXs
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And938Please respect copyright.PENANAFC6MoMrAhJ
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of938Please respect copyright.PENANAf5oc7hVvW5
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.938Please respect copyright.PENANAYdknoYiy8O
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."938Please respect copyright.PENANAcvtpocZguJ
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"938Please respect copyright.PENANATT0HAnbidL
"Maybe, it's because you're objecting to my idea and you just want to make up what would be a valid reason for it."938Please respect copyright.PENANAyqv4guU1br
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.938Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6XFMvCBjF
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAdBPKCgFO3G
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.938Please respect copyright.PENANAKavD2qlpIn
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."938Please respect copyright.PENANADasJY86Ovz
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."938Please respect copyright.PENANA5Sonu6DyP6
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."938Please respect copyright.PENANAK1mQ8mqq9n
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."938Please respect copyright.PENANAFUyvVBIN1R
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."938Please respect copyright.PENANAsFSV6WbVbb
"What truth?" I asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANAc0WBHLdLMy
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."938Please respect copyright.PENANAWGRNgkeLR1
Taeyang was right. I was938Please respect copyright.PENANAJ31cjCCOSH
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 938Please respect copyright.PENANA6rXwCiA0WN
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 938Please respect copyright.PENANArEXMJ8KBrY
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 938Please respect copyright.PENANA2pGadanKrS
attention.938Please respect copyright.PENANAYxSSZh9wYT
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."938Please respect copyright.PENANA3AEZ5ACbB6
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."938Please respect copyright.PENANA689QZdzUkA
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel938Please respect copyright.PENANAEg3FLGp7wq
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 938Please respect copyright.PENANA5oSefPFdgJ
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!938Please respect copyright.PENANABHwIor21Pe
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.938Please respect copyright.PENANAFrpIvMxkPa
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.938Please respect copyright.PENANAyfF5P4N02M
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.938Please respect copyright.PENANAjB5dd2gRLL
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.938Please respect copyright.PENANALekMb1jUcL
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.938Please respect copyright.PENANAykITUzEZKX
"But I....." 938Please respect copyright.PENANA77xXHefDbr
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 938Please respect copyright.PENANAjeLJssLchF
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've938Please respect copyright.PENANAVwfaHbj35F
talked way too much, don't you think?"938Please respect copyright.PENANAmv1G5Vark4
That felt like a slap in938Please respect copyright.PENANATKedamV09E
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 938Please respect copyright.PENANAncPVcXNSBu
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 938Please respect copyright.PENANA3NwBsaL3pR
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWOq9CEUPCA
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 938Please respect copyright.PENANAJnMzssyYTU
about what I thought was best for the whole group?938Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4JwWJyNWQ
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.938Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ne7wE8aUp
"That's fine with me," said Mike.938Please respect copyright.PENANAOxk2dXV1pP
Everyone else agreed, 938Please respect copyright.PENANA4qvFurmsUa
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 938Please respect copyright.PENANA9InTO1Ea9C
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 938Please respect copyright.PENANAA3JmdFgUeo
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWgAHQ4HcLH
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 938Please respect copyright.PENANAWDF8oRqyxU
B, just in case.938Please respect copyright.PENANAuR4anPz6fS
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.938Please respect copyright.PENANA9MNfVEOuny
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.938Please respect copyright.PENANAGGS8MVXZph
"Not now, Sam. We will 938Please respect copyright.PENANAX9DjMwzWko
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 938Please respect copyright.PENANA7H2E6mS9QV
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 938Please respect copyright.PENANAJKTpOOPVsR
gave me goosebumps.938Please respect copyright.PENANAgJEvOujCN9
"Way to go, Sam," said Zoey, as she also stood up from the table. "You just made him upset. I need to go calm him down."938Please respect copyright.PENANA67WeYfj2zb
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 938Please respect copyright.PENANATTLXT9fL5L
One by one everyone 938Please respect copyright.PENANAHz2zQsLEXw
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 938Please respect copyright.PENANARuJ9K9YBZM
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem938Please respect copyright.PENANAPtcnKDh3jG
appropriate.938Please respect copyright.PENANArtv3mTsHvy
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.938Please respect copyright.PENANA9dSOvrFSkp
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.938Please respect copyright.PENANANNs8sgjcVM
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.938Please respect copyright.PENANAwt2SU4Z8Ev
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.938Please respect copyright.PENANAWqv8zPIfLP
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."938Please respect copyright.PENANALZfTyjSdD3
"It's not that. I pissed938Please respect copyright.PENANACjyupgDDJO
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take938Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y2qVvI0LV
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."938Please respect copyright.PENANA4LAzmWaanu
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."938Please respect copyright.PENANArhE1bZA8YS
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."938Please respect copyright.PENANAxauNzxQCHP
Taeyang placed his hand 938Please respect copyright.PENANALnvB39akwo
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He938Please respect copyright.PENANAVfLFcZNUFq
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.938Please respect copyright.PENANAR0DOB25r95
I knew I had to hope for938Please respect copyright.PENANA39NjqG7b4C
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut938Please respect copyright.PENANAnvJqJGvRJI
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 938Please respect copyright.PENANADhKGh0sT7e
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 938Please respect copyright.PENANAF4vbjNyPzR
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 938Please respect copyright.PENANAKpWq3cJiAQ
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
