The water felt like a 937Please respect copyright.PENANAkrxMWm3wZd
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdRIY6LefLy
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 937Please respect copyright.PENANA52jAwj0PRH
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 937Please respect copyright.PENANAmwVH4WbrxD
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 937Please respect copyright.PENANAv19s1mwbDG
breathe. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAGukxjeuXVF
I pushed myself upwards 937Please respect copyright.PENANAc8Fl6lXRfs
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of937Please respect copyright.PENANAKwS38rjrCq
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 937Please respect copyright.PENANA51sDQfgI5g
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 937Please respect copyright.PENANAGfgaB2WsCh
edge.937Please respect copyright.PENANADuAQGleBCr
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.937Please respect copyright.PENANAm7gRY90UhN
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.937Please respect copyright.PENANA6PG5eA6Ii3
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.937Please respect copyright.PENANAHwlrrcjj5F
I looked ridiculously 937Please respect copyright.PENANAfI0Te0oCh2
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 937Please respect copyright.PENANAd3gP5KHpTt
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 937Please respect copyright.PENANAWA5dkvDvcj
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 937Please respect copyright.PENANA4Woi7nkXsR
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 937Please respect copyright.PENANAlfzUlnyzTK
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.937Please respect copyright.PENANAYSFtN0Jk6N
I looked around me and 937Please respect copyright.PENANAwRUuZJxINT
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 937Please respect copyright.PENANA82p6nPyA9w
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 937Please respect copyright.PENANAPvQrpkK5Db
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdDE1AI5vz2
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.937Please respect copyright.PENANAjDeodpmBqF
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."937Please respect copyright.PENANAploEgp6CqS
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."937Please respect copyright.PENANAlTe5aOORYC
I heard Zoey and the 937Please respect copyright.PENANA2bs0lZl4lR
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on937Please respect copyright.PENANAnIkhMnW3wL
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.937Please respect copyright.PENANA9rkrUiPUim
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAbwP6S5d1CL
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's937Please respect copyright.PENANA43T2sqYmAa
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 937Please respect copyright.PENANAW1iiGdVxZm
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."937Please respect copyright.PENANAFGQ7nzrEeH
"I already told you, I'm937Please respect copyright.PENANAatYxqtdMVf
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I937Please respect copyright.PENANAeiu70byCTD
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 937Please respect copyright.PENANAAkpAr6sgRi
from anyone.937Please respect copyright.PENANAhnIgQ8pJJj
I made my way towards GD937Please respect copyright.PENANAMAziyFs4wt
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what937Please respect copyright.PENANAupDSeM1UgI
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 937Please respect copyright.PENANAxsfuCTceKQ
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.937Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3KQ4vJuCK
"Oh, man, Sam," said 937Please respect copyright.PENANACJpQLgsKB4
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 937Please respect copyright.PENANAOUlhekB9un
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 937Please respect copyright.PENANAxqociFRUQk
game. Hope you didn't mind."937Please respect copyright.PENANAdFqYcG01N2
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."937Please respect copyright.PENANAW2OrTdAtoP
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."937Please respect copyright.PENANAgLjnDm23s2
"I told you, our 937Please respect copyright.PENANANVUrXPt2jq
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAjPSEiPat4e
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 937Please respect copyright.PENANAsv847aXlTW
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 937Please respect copyright.PENANAYbQbfGzQfD
Daesung.937Please respect copyright.PENANAFEmIr9cgEB
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.937Please respect copyright.PENANAQnhyhCotZ6
I dialled Lee's number 937Please respect copyright.PENANAcwKjFFxaeB
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 937Please respect copyright.PENANAu5z7FeXicO
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 937Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yf2uRpZTu
They would know soon enough.937Please respect copyright.PENANAoCFmAiCNEL
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.937Please respect copyright.PENANAjXcsKZIwml
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.937Please respect copyright.PENANAWjNIMDaMIc
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAbTAufzlMjw
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAuMug9HZFhi
"No, not yet. But you 937Please respect copyright.PENANARCxoX22L6A
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And937Please respect copyright.PENANAAWgVbBVuNr
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."937Please respect copyright.PENANA1hQxJUOeT4
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."937Please respect copyright.PENANAp13Td1pfCB
"Okay, I'll be waiting."937Please respect copyright.PENANArZWPjF5mkj
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.937Please respect copyright.PENANAfsGcFq7E07
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"937Please respect copyright.PENANANP1OpLc8Sf
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."937Please respect copyright.PENANAf3fDD7MWxh
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAiQAKcQectB
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."937Please respect copyright.PENANAOrAHqKPO9j
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.937Please respect copyright.PENANAzpcCNab6u7
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."937Please respect copyright.PENANAUfcXeE6wPd
I shook my head. I was 937Please respect copyright.PENANAIsSsWLoxeO
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 937Please respect copyright.PENANAwFeSkxNKF0
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 937Please respect copyright.PENANAQYb22Sc9dK
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.937Please respect copyright.PENANAv7xcfv4Ev1
After walking a few feet937Please respect copyright.PENANAHZNeYbkHaM
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 937Please respect copyright.PENANAK9f5DE2qRa
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was937Please respect copyright.PENANA8D39gqmCt9
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 937Please respect copyright.PENANAjlSNEVWmOt
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.937Please respect copyright.PENANAFteIAeW266
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAZv2VbefLni
None of them answered as937Please respect copyright.PENANAsxT6bG1qXJ
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 937Please respect copyright.PENANARv8JRWe0HA
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 937Please respect copyright.PENANAA15Zeo8upF
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.937Please respect copyright.PENANAm97AdQbc3S
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.937Please respect copyright.PENANA6pez3H0Kjd
"I wasn't going to say 937Please respect copyright.PENANAszZxq452rR
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing937Please respect copyright.PENANAqXQ0zupRkn
you would want to hear from me is advice."937Please respect copyright.PENANACwsSa5hAhq
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAQSSZ3jj6wG
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.937Please respect copyright.PENANAQiASz3wjJ0
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."937Please respect copyright.PENANAZvCf9GGtmi
"I'm still upset, though."937Please respect copyright.PENANAJdFp4bhwDs
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."937Please respect copyright.PENANAY3z6IzQBX1
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."937Please respect copyright.PENANAygHPLpTpTL
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."937Please respect copyright.PENANAJFgp8PyhW9
I gave TOP an assuring 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdFiVONJ42t
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way937Please respect copyright.PENANAWrSf3EZ7kQ
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 937Please respect copyright.PENANAWhgVPVfSZR
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I937Please respect copyright.PENANAB4fMdrKxZN
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't937Please respect copyright.PENANAPzRx6YakSX
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 937Please respect copyright.PENANAiCgs8TZhmc
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.937Please respect copyright.PENANAP3OI7ikHq4
We all found ourselves 937Please respect copyright.PENANAqpqybrXpEP
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins937Please respect copyright.PENANArWfUrlKsoI
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdEjgQis7vq
were waiting for me. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAAe6CUhKsMH
"Hey, Sam, you don't 937Please respect copyright.PENANATN1DHCuVJY
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 937Please respect copyright.PENANAcVwmVxHlQ1
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.937Please respect copyright.PENANAOXdfwWw0eg
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."937Please respect copyright.PENANAn0qMESMmo3
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 937Please respect copyright.PENANAOLUdRrVRbl
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 937Please respect copyright.PENANAbrmxsmjGdt
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch937Please respect copyright.PENANAONbnHAkrlB
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 937Please respect copyright.PENANAC8BLn3t5GF
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.937Please respect copyright.PENANAhPpId5gJOc
I had my eyes closed 937Please respect copyright.PENANAjLPKPLoZEx
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found937Please respect copyright.PENANA4ql5wvLaCx
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.937Please respect copyright.PENANA8rYlF6QU1e
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."937Please respect copyright.PENANABGRJRAe5Rh
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.937Please respect copyright.PENANAEBSOM7L6RW
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."937Please respect copyright.PENANAqeN5VL2ryM
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."937Please respect copyright.PENANAGVEf7j7ye3
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."937Please respect copyright.PENANAuJdY9K6YbY
Taeyang led me to his 937Please respect copyright.PENANAU7WqEeqFu0
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 937Please respect copyright.PENANAVJRRBFqbQl
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 937Please respect copyright.PENANAki09uigN1b
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.937Please respect copyright.PENANASPjZk6heMQ
In about thirty minutes,937Please respect copyright.PENANAYWoF7j3p23
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 937Please respect copyright.PENANAyuvejRubOZ
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAsC51gvDtLd
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 937Please respect copyright.PENANAgO0UxD8G4E
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 937Please respect copyright.PENANAZMJ0OXDQ5X
appeared out of the elevator.937Please respect copyright.PENANAqet6OUmZYE
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAdbe21R7hlk
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.937Please respect copyright.PENANAbcMZDHdUhA
Lee who stood behind 937Please respect copyright.PENANAOB0u1DegA1
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 937Please respect copyright.PENANAQlo9CQaGL1
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 937Please respect copyright.PENANADOc659Tx8y
other things in mind.937Please respect copyright.PENANA8xRPEL7LhD
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAmFmzHBkGmH
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 937Please respect copyright.PENANAD0TO1W0LKM
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 937Please respect copyright.PENANARZoqVU8lYn
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.937Please respect copyright.PENANAQd1roZe2Kb
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAms2ZRrQdig
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANANbnRSQH3JL
There was an awkward 937Please respect copyright.PENANA8I3JktlYwF
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,937Please respect copyright.PENANAdMJ1HY6M95
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.937Please respect copyright.PENANARZQrZbq0Or
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAQfiCVbGr3l
"Well, I hear the press 937Please respect copyright.PENANALrVmQ4auS9
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon937Please respect copyright.PENANAqxSPRDePzE
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."937Please respect copyright.PENANAW0wlYPDrvV
"That won't be 937Please respect copyright.PENANAGhSMkDKGj5
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 937Please respect copyright.PENANA8jGKt0g0PD
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to937Please respect copyright.PENANAJPWOzWp1f2
go to the press looking all wet."937Please respect copyright.PENANAnMzuLURn3b
I breathed out a sigh of937Please respect copyright.PENANAvwlZf3lWI1
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 937Please respect copyright.PENANAsVWsLTTZjK
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.937Please respect copyright.PENANAtLPgVSOegc
"In the meantime, you go937Please respect copyright.PENANA15MW5iJReb
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 937Please respect copyright.PENANAeM7TOq5e4B
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."937Please respect copyright.PENANA4xg5iPTcac
I nodded my head in 937Please respect copyright.PENANAA82tHYJWIF
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 937Please respect copyright.PENANALxLVh4swqy
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.937Please respect copyright.PENANAYCztgAcBxY
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANAMX5R1x2XIY
"Alright," I said 937Please respect copyright.PENANAL5oOJPKMWs
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 937Please respect copyright.PENANAzcX2auTG8b
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like937Please respect copyright.PENANAp5eRrpIbfx
I was only making things worse.937Please respect copyright.PENANAEegcvldVLg
Before I turned to leave937Please respect copyright.PENANAxUrgwVOTb9
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 937Please respect copyright.PENANA3HyIXJZCQp
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 937Please respect copyright.PENANAmhr4vWMt73
one.937Please respect copyright.PENANAfgv3s7sqkT
***937Please respect copyright.PENANAYfO4UUkeIb
I sat on the couch all 937Please respect copyright.PENANAwcZESYDnMs
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued937Please respect copyright.PENANADR742icd5B
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"937Please respect copyright.PENANA1FUDkYXRJA
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAmHt7I4DUin
I had a box of paper 937Please respect copyright.PENANA7hGEHQfQ0q
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my937Please respect copyright.PENANAWlxKWCyEKX
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 937Please respect copyright.PENANA4kOpEqWXsL
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.937Please respect copyright.PENANAnWFQvNA9qB
I continued watching the937Please respect copyright.PENANAXrKi9bIYhb
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 937Please respect copyright.PENANAP7xJKsLhcx
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.937Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ2YVYoUzM
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.937Please respect copyright.PENANApAcTRC385B
"Never better," I said, 937Please respect copyright.PENANAxyyxBNjPoo
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 937Please respect copyright.PENANAugCYwen3Ig
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."937Please respect copyright.PENANAtLEQ0IMZEv
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.937Please respect copyright.PENANAEwQqEXkAhC
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.937Please respect copyright.PENANA70urxecXW0
"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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAZaxaG9y3kJ
"And the others?" 937Please respect copyright.PENANAp89ZfnIkgz
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.937Please respect copyright.PENANAdGYcVZklPb
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.937Please respect copyright.PENANAvFzWxkp9Yy
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAV8FzDUnEDf
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.937Please respect copyright.PENANANLTHysapbd
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.937Please respect copyright.PENANAWPOUZPUqpa
"You don't know or you are?"937Please respect copyright.PENANABTEIVLTGF3
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAt0Dcj0UqjE
"I don't know, Tae," I 937Please respect copyright.PENANA0ytjCp6wu7
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 937Please respect copyright.PENANAbZHlPchqoC
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 937Please respect copyright.PENANA2bBdlXpEV7
forget all that happened yesterday."937Please respect copyright.PENANApTBCO47njg
"Ya, I understand. They 937Please respect copyright.PENANAKkVBijDON6
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 937Please respect copyright.PENANArhHBKWwVmD
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were937Please respect copyright.PENANAeQzGCeuk13
going to get."937Please respect copyright.PENANAJsDU4TwXXj
I looked on at Taeyang 937Please respect copyright.PENANAePmslUDq9D
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 937Please respect copyright.PENANAeHMQQeT2XG
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 937Please respect copyright.PENANAcv7JiXO2eS
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 937Please respect copyright.PENANAGrbTCN2bAS
who was as tough as nails.937Please respect copyright.PENANAvUiJSQUdEi
Last night, I took the 937Please respect copyright.PENANAS3JY93vSp8
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 937Please respect copyright.PENANAUSocOuo3JU
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 937Please respect copyright.PENANAxVCKOzS9um
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 937Please respect copyright.PENANAoUnqv8syzY
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAguUT1Njhys
Apparently, the managers937Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y5pZFli7Z
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 937Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7GyFyzoCS
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought937Please respect copyright.PENANAhDG4fJgi9e
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 937Please respect copyright.PENANAmNCabWMrDK
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 937Please respect copyright.PENANAxuCWzHfOZT
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 937Please respect copyright.PENANAHa979WPhyv
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 937Please respect copyright.PENANALOAirKNtye
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 937Please respect copyright.PENANA2OT5XZaLXv
and the reporters.937Please respect copyright.PENANA4IJJ5Pm9Vw
After my confrontation 937Please respect copyright.PENANAcCt6BImUcH
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I937Please respect copyright.PENANA0pIE0yEG31
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,937Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2in8dPddY
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.937Please respect copyright.PENANAxANZjchVLQ
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAZl8HO7EPuQ
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANADtTrO4xKVt
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."937Please respect copyright.PENANAvyYkwv1ogN
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."937Please respect copyright.PENANABzbbFx7LuN
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."937Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zf4Ww0Iin
"Have you tried talking to GD?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAYaHf0dnZYt
"To be honest, I haven't937Please respect copyright.PENANACxj981yz8X
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 937Please respect copyright.PENANA8rG6aJ8XmR
slap him in the face if I see him."937Please respect copyright.PENANABwoASI6SeU
"I don't doubt that."937Please respect copyright.PENANA5XcKT8EaRN
"And thank goodness my 937Please respect copyright.PENANAzPIZRjvDI0
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 937Please respect copyright.PENANAFWYPw9y4Uu
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I937Please respect copyright.PENANAPeTRFR6Awt
want to do is watch some TV."937Please respect copyright.PENANAWMlWR69ttQ
I quickly drank my 937Please respect copyright.PENANAWNol86wIit
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 937Please respect copyright.PENANAEvdxCCot8T
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 937Please respect copyright.PENANAu5yST5c2Bb
to.937Please respect copyright.PENANAiwCXKOeXPc
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.937Please respect copyright.PENANANOB0NgHtfz
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.937Please respect copyright.PENANAr5RiwSPX2D
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAUTekk3jTj5
"Nope."937Please respect copyright.PENANAEccqpqj9sa
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.937Please respect copyright.PENANAsf5RDi6y0u
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANALa2Nm7od4f
Taeyang didn't say 937Please respect copyright.PENANA8KTAK18yVt
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened937Please respect copyright.PENANAQHPuI25cEk
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."937Please respect copyright.PENANAHfgLVYLsqF
"I know you fought or 937Please respect copyright.PENANAICL0Hwg4Go
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 937Please respect copyright.PENANANJaJvJ2Epi
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."937Please respect copyright.PENANAwrTk8BUFTW
I noticed Taeyang smile 937Please respect copyright.PENANAWumKsIWRZN
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 937Please respect copyright.PENANA3VfF26nb7R
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 937Please respect copyright.PENANAThFEik1Ke6
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.937Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ1ctxyuwx
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.937Please respect copyright.PENANAX1JDIHpAUM
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."937Please respect copyright.PENANAW74yjPL3wy
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?937Please respect copyright.PENANA8cPi36MEn0
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.937Please respect copyright.PENANAE25bLfuJje
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."937Please respect copyright.PENANA8BQiXttlMG
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."937Please respect copyright.PENANA5kIzVIE1Di
Before I could finish my937Please respect copyright.PENANAVaCELX9i3b
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 937Please respect copyright.PENANAimQRJzszVT
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.937Please respect copyright.PENANApjipqcacw5
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.937Please respect copyright.PENANAC1fdMxNz1C
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.937Please respect copyright.PENANAlNNBSxct0x
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."937Please respect copyright.PENANAruKsf9zfQL
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."937Please respect copyright.PENANAd85U7yk5W3
"Yep, cheers to that." 937Please respect copyright.PENANAHwfWfZSk8x
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAPfWnq7fWDA
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.937Please respect copyright.PENANAoQYUruRUez
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"937Please respect copyright.PENANADXPnMaEm4u
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAOMcKyF24Dn
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."937Please respect copyright.PENANAu13M6Ync45
"Wow, that sounds personal."937Please respect copyright.PENANAPbg9ghW5qj
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."937Please respect copyright.PENANAfEPsjOfuQ3
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"937Please respect copyright.PENANA5M3nq9vKP2
"I think I've a better 937Please respect copyright.PENANAehCQT3nrTX
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 937Please respect copyright.PENANAlDYappwbyL
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 937Please respect copyright.PENANAirGVQmdS8b
lyrics. It's better that way."937Please respect copyright.PENANAn8oYJ14Wxj
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"937Please respect copyright.PENANA90d5wrdVPH
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."937Please respect copyright.PENANAUHG5TAt9cW
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."937Please respect copyright.PENANALNJVAFbqlO
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."937Please respect copyright.PENANALPGeGAvwtZ
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."937Please respect copyright.PENANACV6API1RqP
"Haha, good point."937Please respect copyright.PENANAQq4YO01Qya
Taeyang and I continued 937Please respect copyright.PENANAW1wxlZaLmt
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdZHkUowRbV
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdRRWeWB5Gy
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we937Please respect copyright.PENANAqYSIJ59D8h
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdWiz0s7VzR
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 937Please respect copyright.PENANAZDvHjvODE7
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 937Please respect copyright.PENANAGVyIX8Kqtm
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 937Please respect copyright.PENANAQji4l2mf1N
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.937Please respect copyright.PENANA7OGQc84fIh
While the two of us were937Please respect copyright.PENANApw7ok3SGHT
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,937Please respect copyright.PENANAmgMWfnv0wu
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAAKX4rC3g1X
I quickly went over to 937Please respect copyright.PENANAn86CMlNtSJ
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was937Please respect copyright.PENANAymoSqw0vs2
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung937Please respect copyright.PENANAsLwVRS8bM2
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could937Please respect copyright.PENANA6xfQ2BYLnj
come up and I put the receiver down.937Please respect copyright.PENANAoQs6VnDRGT
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."937Please respect copyright.PENANAmDlRikpTPw
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."937Please respect copyright.PENANAaqo7GyRqUM
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."937Please respect copyright.PENANAiEoIpTemXp
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.937Please respect copyright.PENANAtU672bWaKs
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.937Please respect copyright.PENANAmern4OfY8X
"Eww, that pillow 937Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0Wnije6gy
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 937Please respect copyright.PENANA07ewxPC2vZ
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.937Please respect copyright.PENANAJu0m45jQ08
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.937Please respect copyright.PENANApy8xquQhCr
A few seconds later, we 937Please respect copyright.PENANAyz2YtbFZzb
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 937Please respect copyright.PENANAPW43F71JYP
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 937Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q4iqpNxQu
holding a box of chocolates.937Please respect copyright.PENANA4F6Bcf9lZ1
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.937Please respect copyright.PENANAp4zV2CS5qM
"Ah, no, the panda is a 937Please respect copyright.PENANADnvBKXFlfu
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 937Please respect copyright.PENANA6zvxaO9J3Y
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 937Please respect copyright.PENANA8dqKKFja8b
same time.937Please respect copyright.PENANAVOAfJKSvPa
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."937Please respect copyright.PENANACnCIy7CX4w
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.937Please respect copyright.PENANADxJeJQNIHb
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAd1n4jRFEQh
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."937Please respect copyright.PENANAN00UTXy2zL
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANA7L0wlukUTt
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.937Please respect copyright.PENANAxVRNUu8NlR
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."937Please respect copyright.PENANA0nCP5RDqi9
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.937Please respect copyright.PENANAQiU9pWY2zG
"For goodness sake, I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAljZIrU0PIL
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 937Please respect copyright.PENANAH3SuuvXKRB
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 937Please respect copyright.PENANAhgmIVDGJ7i
scared with me."937Please respect copyright.PENANAVJh3zHs2fD
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.937Please respect copyright.PENANACVIjfOvrpb
I took the panda in my 937Please respect copyright.PENANAHW12cOVOrt
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 937Please respect copyright.PENANA6IXod5CgbQ
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 937Please respect copyright.PENANAvkffeL0VsC
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 937Please respect copyright.PENANAZHO4YbAo38
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.937Please respect copyright.PENANAdw8iMdbE6k
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."937Please respect copyright.PENANAISkME8kYjx
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."937Please respect copyright.PENANAze8lxQ5dSL
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAPFZLiPjosG
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.937Please respect copyright.PENANAKaViuwF8DL
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."937Please respect copyright.PENANA4pVrCiNxOR
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I937Please respect copyright.PENANAXG9P8TWsAU
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 937Please respect copyright.PENANA1jqcmhMwTG
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 937Please respect copyright.PENANAXNTTCgfeiV
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."937Please respect copyright.PENANAO0N19GYsbA
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."937Please respect copyright.PENANAJP1o2Nh2OA
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."937Please respect copyright.PENANAZZryP85vus
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANAB30ZJVWif4
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."937Please respect copyright.PENANAx1viY1gFv8
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.937Please respect copyright.PENANARwIZgTS08e
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."937Please respect copyright.PENANA76mBUSBm4J
"Ya, I do."937Please respect copyright.PENANASB9CKVyu9x
While the four of us 937Please respect copyright.PENANAkHoTYGxEYO
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 937Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3aA1wHt9f
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 937Please respect copyright.PENANA1F5SCxTKNn
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 937Please respect copyright.PENANA1QNn3qsA4O
said:937Please respect copyright.PENANARLMIlbneQC
"Hey, Zoey." 937Please respect copyright.PENANAuDibv5wn2S
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 937Please respect copyright.PENANA2fzloyCaSI
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."937Please respect copyright.PENANALYbTwE95jQ
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANAo1zW436cnT
"It's good you came to 937Please respect copyright.PENANAFaiKXj2PmZ
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAqeWdjTVNvQ
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 937Please respect copyright.PENANAYeEtHa3Z1z
couch.937Please respect copyright.PENANAO2RH3uSmqS
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"937Please respect copyright.PENANAW9dQcLPKk4
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"937Please respect copyright.PENANAMtsKjP1T6H
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAjFzOk6hdHo
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAjUQvnxJ625
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.937Please respect copyright.PENANA7UKMkJaC7w
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.937Please respect copyright.PENANAV0HAIELRSe
I tugged at my panda's 937Please respect copyright.PENANAq1nh4wEvX4
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it937Please respect copyright.PENANAQdj6Bar46o
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking937Please respect copyright.PENANAX6lbT1U0vt
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.937Please respect copyright.PENANAmaoj6DuUty
The Toxins came back to 937Please respect copyright.PENANANqqDSzX6cK
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held937Please respect copyright.PENANA9eLwadmz0m
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine937Please respect copyright.PENANAmGrky3EiCw
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANARhfLPp0WYc
For a moment, no one 937Please respect copyright.PENANASbS2cjsnGV
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 937Please respect copyright.PENANA7JGoW5DQfc
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.937Please respect copyright.PENANAu669gRQQAm
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.937Please respect copyright.PENANAGiqfIrnbKo
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAw5jjv1pYmo
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.937Please respect copyright.PENANAxHisFijEOK
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."937Please respect copyright.PENANAyhB2ZZ8HI0
I stared up at the 937Please respect copyright.PENANA6mOhF6jZo8
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 937Please respect copyright.PENANA9ulEsGigyk
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.937Please respect copyright.PENANANrbXRFBJUt
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."937Please respect copyright.PENANALpirGzVaKj
When Zoey tried to reach937Please respect copyright.PENANAD9HfMNs8oE
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 937Please respect copyright.PENANA9f8qVQQayX
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.937Please respect copyright.PENANAxM57TjWqhQ
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.937Please respect copyright.PENANARIgpa7YSaB
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.937Please respect copyright.PENANALshessbchU
Zoey looked hurt with 937Please respect copyright.PENANAMny5XWyMlT
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAqH4bmqcXJd
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.937Please respect copyright.PENANANEFw5y1t08
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANA952ZJK1Mvo
I didn't answer as I put937Please respect copyright.PENANALFJWVg8bd7
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I937Please respect copyright.PENANAlzSK8H5iIU
was still mad, especially at Zoey.937Please respect copyright.PENANAyUBBMVNd95
"I know it's a little 937Please respect copyright.PENANA0TfZlit8oK
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 937Please respect copyright.PENANAOL2FJRLfa6
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 937Please respect copyright.PENANAwuIU5DOic6
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 937Please respect copyright.PENANAVJCDbMjYDj
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 937Please respect copyright.PENANANXipKukOaQ
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 937Please respect copyright.PENANArHzdczHQSA
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."937Please respect copyright.PENANAXEhftm6fWh
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.937Please respect copyright.PENANAuKktcZ5xcb
"I don't like it when 937Please respect copyright.PENANAMNVnEW91L3
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 937Please respect copyright.PENANAyHAMWrIFu0
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 937Please respect copyright.PENANAoAw5YbTq0B
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 937Please respect copyright.PENANArJJ8cKI3CO
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 937Please respect copyright.PENANAcUHNvY3n0U
sorry, Sam."937Please respect copyright.PENANAMtsDuZsxTv
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."937Please respect copyright.PENANAbOZK8Huq2p
"I'm sorry too," said 937Please respect copyright.PENANARS2yaNxyXy
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 937Please respect copyright.PENANAjCc7npOiz3
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 937Please respect copyright.PENANAIOEi6w5ajU
for you to talk to us again."937Please respect copyright.PENANAvJEAMveD6x
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 937Please respect copyright.PENANA2u9CPp2Q60
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 937Please respect copyright.PENANAw3Xh5XIlUj
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 937Please respect copyright.PENANAXWZ1fQjCt1
leader."937Please respect copyright.PENANAvnFhUlhSCx
I still didn't say a 937Please respect copyright.PENANAlKx2G7dgEW
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 937Please respect copyright.PENANAQWvwPWdEd0
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 937Please respect copyright.PENANA29hAYbeOjh
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 937Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZXM8lOrmx
them despite the awful things they put me through.937Please respect copyright.PENANAPmOlpPi7EM
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAzZnIlZjSVb
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."937Please respect copyright.PENANAGREkUZTa4o
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.937Please respect copyright.PENANAK8Hs1i3f8u
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.937Please respect copyright.PENANATyiNCxXjM1
"I'm mad and pretty much937Please respect copyright.PENANAJTrJC8NjMW
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 937Please respect copyright.PENANAY34VIP7bc0
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."937Please respect copyright.PENANAybs4789MlD
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAtGmQRkjMux
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."937Please respect copyright.PENANAivrGcoQkrl
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.937Please respect copyright.PENANAU2DHKXqF7w
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 937Please respect copyright.PENANAeboKY4vCwo
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 937Please respect copyright.PENANA1avHhXIOMM
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."937Please respect copyright.PENANAwD2jty8WBf
"Ah, you! Always acting 937Please respect copyright.PENANAxFrOQYI4Zy
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 937Please respect copyright.PENANAXJkbj0VNGj
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAYsQqZ4RPf8
catch it anyway."937Please respect copyright.PENANAgdtpqRGSEJ
Christine, Daniel and 937Please respect copyright.PENANAyIbh0000VV
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAAenuVYIiUI
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAMj1PIxkfBE
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.937Please respect copyright.PENANAUiUkhuYHFh
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.937Please respect copyright.PENANAzBsZnSjxu1
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANAKvnIzO87M4
"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...."937Please respect copyright.PENANA5eeCJBtUK9
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.937Please respect copyright.PENANAuNbRYctOYa
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."937Please respect copyright.PENANAyDuGQjl6hd
"Don't worry, you won't 937Please respect copyright.PENANAk9RGRWgyDE
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 937Please respect copyright.PENANAr1VzJVSuxb
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.937Please respect copyright.PENANANnnfeoDaC4
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.937Please respect copyright.PENANAPuQUf82XR4
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.937Please respect copyright.PENANAdIAsdgqhd1
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAlvoWLGqQXn
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."937Please respect copyright.PENANAsQyWPuJokr
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.937Please respect copyright.PENANAGHegtA08kX
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAtUaGfAHfCh
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAi8bGo62QS5
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."937Please respect copyright.PENANA9skeWFFXL5
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.937Please respect copyright.PENANAzLvKEHyV2p
At that moment, I had 937Please respect copyright.PENANAUXeAR23qI1
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.937Please respect copyright.PENANAFLh8Yy4Or4
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.937Please respect copyright.PENANAOLfN2Jzl89
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANA1tKzuga1X3
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.937Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5EzfPDSR5
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."937Please respect copyright.PENANAfqSIYXx2rZ
Zoey got the box of 937Please respect copyright.PENANAwM9CWK39WT
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAgbLkQMCVA8
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.937Please respect copyright.PENANAcxAzLoEzZe
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.937Please respect copyright.PENANAPRgAIKn066
I was in the passage as I937Please respect copyright.PENANAa2bY0IXuLY
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 937Please respect copyright.PENANAe4FPb0M7ir
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed937Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ8AawcGih
in what felt like sadness.937Please respect copyright.PENANAJN31AUyCdY
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.937Please respect copyright.PENANABPAAYk4uZI
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."937Please respect copyright.PENANAV6T3adMeqy
I heard his footsteps 937Please respect copyright.PENANAkpihB0u4F3
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 937Please respect copyright.PENANAWpQZL4GdHW
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.937Please respect copyright.PENANAgA1mOYhViy
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAqxLu9aT1Bb
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAZSNIE3Jve5
"Are we really do this right now?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAGad8LnbHRm
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 937Please respect copyright.PENANAMZcTbBdaiY
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.937Please respect copyright.PENANARChJi52uxm
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANA3fVjG4E2Yx
"Nope." 937Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ye9t2yKfG
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."937Please respect copyright.PENANAK4VmuRe2Pa
My eyes almost felt like937Please respect copyright.PENANATedcTFcdNc
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 937Please respect copyright.PENANAe16pwgJJaE
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.937Please respect copyright.PENANAu0VN0HAoag
I turned to look at him 937Please respect copyright.PENANApalgAnTC9Y
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 937Please respect copyright.PENANAliWLee29ki
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.937Please respect copyright.PENANAQqjZ78mIkc
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.937Please respect copyright.PENANA7vBXXuhVND
"That you're surrounded 937Please respect copyright.PENANAvZrcPAMwfJ
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 937Please respect copyright.PENANA3n0MjlitwI
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 937Please respect copyright.PENANAIDX4j0D0K5
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."937Please respect copyright.PENANAQBHy1Q3DOs
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 937Please respect copyright.PENANA5qDe7SGbn5
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."937Please respect copyright.PENANArH6H4ulMbq
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"937Please respect copyright.PENANA7BRc53KljT
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."937Please respect copyright.PENANALJ6ZnTFh0V
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."937Please respect copyright.PENANAUqyhYFBXes
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAD4hv9RgYx7
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."937Please respect copyright.PENANAQPprDetLqd
Apparently, I couldn't 937Please respect copyright.PENANAbJawOSN94d
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAbw76LA4EEa
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 937Please respect copyright.PENANALFbMtgLoRq
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 937Please respect copyright.PENANAXlI3LmRiMk
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 937Please respect copyright.PENANAVdZcD5qhED
death.937Please respect copyright.PENANAltP6iVuwPS
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.937Please respect copyright.PENANAgOKTIVKdLP
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."937Please respect copyright.PENANAFuwHvxybgm
Taeyang folded his arms 937Please respect copyright.PENANAO8XBhcYXG9
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think937Please respect copyright.PENANASOVjhFxzim
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."937Please respect copyright.PENANAjS44t5pJVj
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.937Please respect copyright.PENANAPItrdpMBOJ
"You're may think you're937Please respect copyright.PENANAbE8hXOht3u
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 937Please respect copyright.PENANAvqsZnRgiCQ
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 937Please respect copyright.PENANA5f2TlO6M5B
but feeling hurt."937Please respect copyright.PENANAiskmK5ZOhZ
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.937Please respect copyright.PENANArXsso0NgkR
"But I wouldn't feel 937Please respect copyright.PENANAo4YHPsGjZn
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 937Please respect copyright.PENANAlIBHwNdloX
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 937Please respect copyright.PENANA3eWiTJFbIw
at Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANArokGWtpXWD
Taeyang gave me that 937Please respect copyright.PENANAHoFS14RJZF
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 937Please respect copyright.PENANASq7y9sHQak
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 937Please respect copyright.PENANAULCq5wLh9r
while in return, he nodded.937Please respect copyright.PENANAB85DOOg8sQ
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAsZn6eius8g
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."937Please respect copyright.PENANAcKOBWEFVOj
I didn't say a word as I937Please respect copyright.PENANAiPozadJXto
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my937Please respect copyright.PENANAH6roaJVEWv
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdaNszdAwaB
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 937Please respect copyright.PENANApV0etnl6Nu
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.937Please respect copyright.PENANA81jt8dpGBS
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."937Please respect copyright.PENANAuMKu8re35s
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."937Please respect copyright.PENANAZxyWYovz7B
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."937Please respect copyright.PENANAptD9G17jvv
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAqRiJzXkoLh
If there was ever a way I937Please respect copyright.PENANAsjOSKM4KYb
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdKSbWm4Csy
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 937Please respect copyright.PENANA666ZusJIt2
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.937Please respect copyright.PENANAnljzfSUErj
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 937Please respect copyright.PENANACybBn3J4zW
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAMdQAvTDXys
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAZErNap49tl
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.937Please respect copyright.PENANAdY3AzrIz9J
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANADNzUuNzILW
"Well, I'm just asking,"937Please respect copyright.PENANAPtRYJpyuFg
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,937Please respect copyright.PENANAx9IaPbgpsJ
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."937Please respect copyright.PENANA4yMM2DKacV
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.937Please respect copyright.PENANAfmdNx6MjvR
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.937Please respect copyright.PENANAa8wQQhcZFu
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.937Please respect copyright.PENANAbGKHtBETTZ
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.937Please respect copyright.PENANA8M3j1hpx3H
I pressed the button 937Please respect copyright.PENANAJyo17THtJj
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 937Please respect copyright.PENANArPXjARx8kp
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 937Please respect copyright.PENANAIedFOMp1d6
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.937Please respect copyright.PENANAQb5f6dOp0l
We went to the main 937Please respect copyright.PENANAVPSm87pwot
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for937Please respect copyright.PENANAp5mqPZLErr
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 937Please respect copyright.PENANAgeWvmVbm8w
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.937Please respect copyright.PENANAlVoN64pBWZ
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.937Please respect copyright.PENANAcOASs8Du49
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAbI0ai10jUN
"To be honest, we just 937Please respect copyright.PENANAWJeICXN7VU
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 937Please respect copyright.PENANArVEhreExlc
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."937Please respect copyright.PENANAash6nuSamG
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.937Please respect copyright.PENANA4hVBTFlJne
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.937Please respect copyright.PENANAgGcvblVUra
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANA90lt2mRWMv
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.937Please respect copyright.PENANAk03c755BqG
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.937Please respect copyright.PENANADRWE0psstB
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.937Please respect copyright.PENANA2IxFu9cLr8
"Nah, I don't think so,"937Please respect copyright.PENANASYhGrOznwj
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so937Please respect copyright.PENANAaMavUuqylX
he would be treating me like that."937Please respect copyright.PENANAz7JjtXpJJR
"Mmm, I don't think so,"937Please respect copyright.PENANAKxtCpRUkrM
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 937Please respect copyright.PENANAYMHCnzQjxg
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"937Please respect copyright.PENANANkPxVyVoMc
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."937Please respect copyright.PENANApRwPOdS46s
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.937Please respect copyright.PENANAilPV9IAAJy
"Then, stop trying to make one."937Please respect copyright.PENANAD2B0XnkFR8
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."937Please respect copyright.PENANAlthG5k2MSz
"Ya, me too," said Mike.937Please respect copyright.PENANArgCZnZjxGl
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.937Please respect copyright.PENANAOAv6ao6G57
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"937Please respect copyright.PENANALQiDUs4f3Y
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.937Please respect copyright.PENANAkuoXFk5UP7
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."937Please respect copyright.PENANApAvAqnYphd
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANApAYLvhEWFx
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.937Please respect copyright.PENANA3aQzUbWOxf
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."937Please respect copyright.PENANAYpVfe0ywDc
I didn't even dare try 937Please respect copyright.PENANABSRthzmWIy
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAI0dvuDFPcP
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.937Please respect copyright.PENANA2ICjyFtP6G
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAXbXr8qqPwy
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"937Please respect copyright.PENANATFjxTbWVj8
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.937Please respect copyright.PENANAT9Dx61HYM1
I heard footsteps coming937Please respect copyright.PENANAmHISetDe6v
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 937Please respect copyright.PENANA9D829dc676
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 937Please respect copyright.PENANA98wYxMwg2e
look at me.937Please respect copyright.PENANA9BxSoWjGPA
"Are you okay?" he whispered.937Please respect copyright.PENANAm9r4AptvG9
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.937Please respect copyright.PENANApAueXsAk8y
I soon felt strong hands937Please respect copyright.PENANAEisCLXPerB
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD937Please respect copyright.PENANAUSq2wk9iJ7
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.937Please respect copyright.PENANApJPi56op3V
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"937Please respect copyright.PENANA77fpTN3qY4
"I'm a whole lot better,937Please respect copyright.PENANASO6JAfAydv
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 937Please respect copyright.PENANAWfAWbA3jmy
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.937Please respect copyright.PENANA5AxweJlmjz
"Glad to hear that."937Please respect copyright.PENANAzPmQwQaQMG
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAEcmruNy17r
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."937Please respect copyright.PENANAltxXH3puBt
I was planning not to 937Please respect copyright.PENANA9MhEFgrUXE
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 937Please respect copyright.PENANAgda60kdHC2
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 937Please respect copyright.PENANAW4rJxXwtei
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to937Please respect copyright.PENANAeJCW8t612Z
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 937Please respect copyright.PENANAULjf9TA61f
under the bridge.937Please respect copyright.PENANAipxyhhhpVz
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."937Please respect copyright.PENANAuWo8FulBWF
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANArKR5mCnB0g
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."937Please respect copyright.PENANAAVpz1m5PIa
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."937Please respect copyright.PENANA68qXmMJDAF
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.937Please respect copyright.PENANAxzV8KjKJpo
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANAU1Og3MxXz3
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAQDhHi9O19D
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."937Please respect copyright.PENANA7TSdVoxsHa
The waiters soon came 937Please respect copyright.PENANAyaUAxvion7
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.937Please respect copyright.PENANA94JH6MxJLO
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 937Please respect copyright.PENANALMwYz0q66H
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 937Please respect copyright.PENANAvBUc1ltlD0
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.937Please respect copyright.PENANAT38g6Xoed3
For a moment, I felt 937Please respect copyright.PENANAAHU0eoOInH
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAoQAKPjmNgZ
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 937Please respect copyright.PENANAkYZYS3yboY
me to forget that I was ever mad.937Please respect copyright.PENANAmnCjPNLMIM
"Mmm, this is so 937Please respect copyright.PENANASkQcmY4lkI
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 937Please respect copyright.PENANAhmeueiyGO9
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."937Please respect copyright.PENANAxwcnAS4q78
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."937Please respect copyright.PENANA8fW8aZKVRQ
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."937Please respect copyright.PENANAEcmiHbytoA
"Anything for you, Sam,"937Please respect copyright.PENANAukmu2guEz1
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 937Please respect copyright.PENANAuwiICcYLwc
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."937Please respect copyright.PENANAuaHLXz9yc2
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAC3xidxHZbl
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.937Please respect copyright.PENANAxfR7z1xXvG
I had just taken in some937Please respect copyright.PENANAEmQ3B96tfl
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 937Please respect copyright.PENANALAtq2O0Z4Y
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly937Please respect copyright.PENANADgBLoYqhqa
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 937Please respect copyright.PENANAKaxmTNGI82
just said.937Please respect copyright.PENANAGncp6mBAvu
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3eKhrsB58
"Well, ya," Christine 937Please respect copyright.PENANAnK62e4nxmj
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 937Please respect copyright.PENANAc3uJcxpqt3
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 937Please respect copyright.PENANAvlmf4rwAXd
special lunch to lighten your mood."937Please respect copyright.PENANADbRg42nRCp
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.937Please respect copyright.PENANAmZhMjRVG70
"Thanks for the lunch, 937Please respect copyright.PENANAXCMzKXaBfE
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so937Please respect copyright.PENANAaVQhwNAhtG
sweet of you to have come up with this."937Please respect copyright.PENANAsGiaPiT1Nn
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.937Please respect copyright.PENANA9RuRDpiIlx
I almost felt like 937Please respect copyright.PENANAZgYKcF6c40
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 937Please respect copyright.PENANAAzKJqMTIiV
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare937Please respect copyright.PENANAyPuuFlY8DH
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 937Please respect copyright.PENANA1xUBhBtJTW
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 937Please respect copyright.PENANAmm2Z4Ey55F
turning into rage?937Please respect copyright.PENANAItcqFQ5QKF
Oh, goodness. I needed 937Please respect copyright.PENANAiEuIyrD4tz
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 937Please respect copyright.PENANANa1xTa8rWa
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdKfbG0bbuE
I tried to push aside 937Please respect copyright.PENANA7XsiIwrN5L
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 937Please respect copyright.PENANAYOuXDIy0jC
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 937Please respect copyright.PENANAD0b4HbNuuF
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 937Please respect copyright.PENANA4M9vX5Ik55
chocolate moussé.937Please respect copyright.PENANAQBi7W4RBz5
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,937Please respect copyright.PENANAxv7PPzUECT
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 937Please respect copyright.PENANABuInntM801
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.937Please respect copyright.PENANAYveZd9S2Eb
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANADnwFB4fPJK
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."937Please respect copyright.PENANACcnW1UVb7F
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.937Please respect copyright.PENANAaVqimtM2cb
I didn't wait for 937Please respect copyright.PENANAokKReZ5OnG
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I937Please respect copyright.PENANAfur1QIXsVi
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed937Please respect copyright.PENANAsewNl1raUB
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 937Please respect copyright.PENANABAr1VKnnAl
heaven.937Please respect copyright.PENANAqXYKyfgydR
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.937Please respect copyright.PENANAEna2yK0jpu
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."937Please respect copyright.PENANAtMQpsH9aDl
"I don't care," I said 937Please respect copyright.PENANAy8I4BPInm5
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 937Please respect copyright.PENANAep5bHJsTYD
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."937Please respect copyright.PENANAOJdX2IPAjY
G-Dragon smiled back at 937Please respect copyright.PENANAx7HMYnY4Gf
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAhyrjgsB5Q5
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 937Please respect copyright.PENANAYdf5OkAHvG
away.937Please respect copyright.PENANAYvLnSwCuTm
After dessert, we all 937Please respect copyright.PENANAJr6iJ05B0U
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 937Please respect copyright.PENANA5CjZBfP0jH
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 937Please respect copyright.PENANAbYR0YWILhV
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 937Please respect copyright.PENANA9v4pnvSiPd
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 937Please respect copyright.PENANAGT1UqTegpk
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 937Please respect copyright.PENANAYhPWX5SinF
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.937Please respect copyright.PENANAx5znY5xsXk
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"937Please respect copyright.PENANA8j5qUc5iOh
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.937Please respect copyright.PENANAIQJ8WrA2ak
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."937Please respect copyright.PENANA4a2gcdvUP1
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.937Please respect copyright.PENANAlvU9aGKyAk
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."937Please respect copyright.PENANAN8rSgosHNw
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."937Please respect copyright.PENANAFcw886v7rZ
"What stuff?" TOP asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAWyt9SFBu60
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAMWigG8z9Th
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."937Please respect copyright.PENANAjQsMRoX8gQ
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.937Please respect copyright.PENANAlIRkM8xKmQ
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.937Please respect copyright.PENANA9uWE5Kzktt
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.937Please respect copyright.PENANARDDsh8zdTx
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.937Please respect copyright.PENANA5tuKBtwCWa
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."937Please respect copyright.PENANAsrqtEMHcXR
"Wait, what's going on?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAhSRwHSukIh
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAvaGw6ctjF2
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAkFoGqZqvxc
"I thought we should all937Please respect copyright.PENANAOyTjOJ1DeU
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 937Please respect copyright.PENANABUtgYxI5rr
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."937Please respect copyright.PENANAV6qaGxixzh
"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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAwnrrEskUFj
"I don't know, I feel we937Please respect copyright.PENANA7NvZLLrlFe
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.937Please respect copyright.PENANAD1qy4AsN0i
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out937Please respect copyright.PENANAbcS2YDYXp7
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."937Please respect copyright.PENANADfh6WsG5oq
"I don't get it though,"937Please respect copyright.PENANALrCcan1W4l
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 937Please respect copyright.PENANApp1sNZTq8h
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write937Please respect copyright.PENANAfqvpBrMsZF
the lyrics?"937Please respect copyright.PENANA9hUYPOEHK1
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.937Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZnTL1c1oP
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"937Please respect copyright.PENANA8JSu1QxEMv
This time, I also raised937Please respect copyright.PENANA8vZpvqhlYF
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdObNt0Xaza
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.937Please respect copyright.PENANACC090cZRzc
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAS6m0kuKM2Y
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.937Please respect copyright.PENANAMfDoaP2ZGT
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.937Please respect copyright.PENANAooP3UnVGas
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAOKQFfZcDxO
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."937Please respect copyright.PENANARqA7TfuLV6
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAdTRi7aVeuJ
By the way G-Dragon 937Please respect copyright.PENANAWDdvBad9iT
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 937Please respect copyright.PENANAKUb350aePI
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And937Please respect copyright.PENANAnKoLquiOlu
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of937Please respect copyright.PENANAYtOTo4r2Dr
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.937Please respect copyright.PENANAhUkoK1YfeD
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."937Please respect copyright.PENANAZwrDYmXCCB
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAcFTzjrs3YG
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANA1GeI8VPJ0C
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.937Please respect copyright.PENANAQdeLbDmLq6
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAIYL2fhKYYh
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.937Please respect copyright.PENANArIqKNWpEJh
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."937Please respect copyright.PENANAU6Zk3dZXpv
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."937Please respect copyright.PENANAZmCL3amIxR
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."937Please respect copyright.PENANAcA11lx7gqt
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."937Please respect copyright.PENANAZF4nKTI0ru
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."937Please respect copyright.PENANAw6j4wZT5Dl
"What truth?" I asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAhKfsbjgueC
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."937Please respect copyright.PENANAquIqxpGchF
Taeyang was right. I was937Please respect copyright.PENANAaONZmv0hmd
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 937Please respect copyright.PENANAGrwj5u6So4
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 937Please respect copyright.PENANAnTiMSTlHff
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 937Please respect copyright.PENANAdzd9hHMGZ3
attention.937Please respect copyright.PENANAemaA8mvZLq
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."937Please respect copyright.PENANAFno6nQzOwV
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."937Please respect copyright.PENANAr8mXOaNUrH
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel937Please respect copyright.PENANAaV1MjCvWyD
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 937Please respect copyright.PENANAI25g2LVboO
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!937Please respect copyright.PENANA9zQjozRW30
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.937Please respect copyright.PENANAuowz7KGG8d
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.937Please respect copyright.PENANA6gk8Ohr3af
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.937Please respect copyright.PENANAjTpDmao0DR
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.937Please respect copyright.PENANAh9FNaDFmWy
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.937Please respect copyright.PENANAuBxStPDZet
"But I....." 937Please respect copyright.PENANARwzvjr9P4x
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 937Please respect copyright.PENANAQLbYHoFYC0
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've937Please respect copyright.PENANAcpJ0545sJs
talked way too much, don't you think?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAKmQKgWBfUn
That felt like a slap in937Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ob0gfOrzU
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 937Please respect copyright.PENANAgMLcXiLgzo
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 937Please respect copyright.PENANARwMGgsHV1d
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 937Please respect copyright.PENANAgWjamOcHRL
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 937Please respect copyright.PENANAEopR6wrmvR
about what I thought was best for the whole group?937Please respect copyright.PENANAEbZ9m9fTLb
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.937Please respect copyright.PENANAJPFTVfjLoX
"That's fine with me," said Mike.937Please respect copyright.PENANAliYCP9vB4B
Everyone else agreed, 937Please respect copyright.PENANAR6ZrLfHT8A
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 937Please respect copyright.PENANA9sQOdgxLi4
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 937Please respect copyright.PENANA9sNCEU7ZUO
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 937Please respect copyright.PENANAgcaoGzuPnn
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 937Please respect copyright.PENANAYRBfhiU9Kq
B, just in case.937Please respect copyright.PENANAlMix63AfDy
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.937Please respect copyright.PENANAzjDpoh2eak
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.937Please respect copyright.PENANAI1Fz4S51Ed
"Not now, Sam. We will 937Please respect copyright.PENANApDbrbqf1xh
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 937Please respect copyright.PENANA68ionxgGuB
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 937Please respect copyright.PENANAVdh7rQk3kD
gave me goosebumps.937Please respect copyright.PENANAbn4Mvpbjea
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAdwxFigUmYp
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 937Please respect copyright.PENANAVS4m2HTCgh
One by one everyone 937Please respect copyright.PENANAHjpU8DeSNT
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 937Please respect copyright.PENANAix9uac83jF
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem937Please respect copyright.PENANA4RGD9kwPxv
appropriate.937Please respect copyright.PENANAD9rmbnxxi2
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.937Please respect copyright.PENANATdXNkB24g3
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAqFpDdTe5r6
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANAr4GALYQkMV
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.937Please respect copyright.PENANApl6dZLLrZ6
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."937Please respect copyright.PENANAehxIyvegC5
"It's not that. I pissed937Please respect copyright.PENANAfqGsXpnQZp
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take937Please respect copyright.PENANAQOMIjjEyjQ
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."937Please respect copyright.PENANAvtJytvKXLa
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."937Please respect copyright.PENANAhukEiP79J7
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."937Please respect copyright.PENANAyXgmw1MLnL
Taeyang placed his hand 937Please respect copyright.PENANAp8zggWlehP
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He937Please respect copyright.PENANATRXBaG9oSl
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.937Please respect copyright.PENANA3Mj2IxTw1T
I knew I had to hope for937Please respect copyright.PENANAwCplwdU2eo
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut937Please respect copyright.PENANAjbZDZUXRo0
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 937Please respect copyright.PENANAnynNT26v0D
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 937Please respect copyright.PENANAsNGLN5Mzv2
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 937Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ2mS8EC46
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
