The water felt like a 935Please respect copyright.PENANA3YF8s6flFc
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 935Please respect copyright.PENANA2hoDP4WyUZ
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAaivotTwu3L
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 935Please respect copyright.PENANA5kop03Y55M
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 935Please respect copyright.PENANAE0J3UTNyl0
breathe. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAjK7Q8DD5hq
I pushed myself upwards 935Please respect copyright.PENANAyejtfeRs8r
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of935Please respect copyright.PENANAiIadXRGKXB
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 935Please respect copyright.PENANA67ZRAd0KWo
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAemxvQVImrn
edge.935Please respect copyright.PENANAR1IiFEzCFK
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.935Please respect copyright.PENANAbFy5oRw9k7
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.935Please respect copyright.PENANAjufXEuKQC5
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.935Please respect copyright.PENANArYUPLwvB63
I looked ridiculously 935Please respect copyright.PENANAipODZ61w4n
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 935Please respect copyright.PENANAk852knPvkq
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 935Please respect copyright.PENANARIlOT9cxHj
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 935Please respect copyright.PENANAJNqfOOeMnJ
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 935Please respect copyright.PENANAtpCyWJgFZs
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.935Please respect copyright.PENANAEOPIc7HMvx
I looked around me and 935Please respect copyright.PENANAVy2jWLNtHf
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAtDKNrpNhCq
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 935Please respect copyright.PENANASLr9vRZTPC
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 935Please respect copyright.PENANAPeTIZuqaLN
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.935Please respect copyright.PENANA1W0MQAht4F
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."935Please respect copyright.PENANAfZgVST9keA
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."935Please respect copyright.PENANAFIQ9Hw836N
I heard Zoey and the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAEYLmjQnVuC
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on935Please respect copyright.PENANAjR1O5S67yk
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.935Please respect copyright.PENANASHdbFy6804
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAnILWXM4iw3
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's935Please respect copyright.PENANAajmRRwB1rm
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 935Please respect copyright.PENANAPCVnqLS90d
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."935Please respect copyright.PENANAd2QarCalua
"I already told you, I'm935Please respect copyright.PENANAtTusfrboML
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I935Please respect copyright.PENANA7jnVZcdxaB
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 935Please respect copyright.PENANA2v3wUKyVGc
from anyone.935Please respect copyright.PENANAE5Y86JMPBw
I made my way towards GD935Please respect copyright.PENANAUzpt9CV7g1
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what935Please respect copyright.PENANAF8iwwp36oC
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 935Please respect copyright.PENANAa7J5hl2MWT
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.935Please respect copyright.PENANAcTzAoUetwq
"Oh, man, Sam," said 935Please respect copyright.PENANAbiViODrL7c
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 935Please respect copyright.PENANAkCBoqwW2Su
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 935Please respect copyright.PENANADaJX1lqqTM
game. Hope you didn't mind."935Please respect copyright.PENANA9NGmyR5LmX
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."935Please respect copyright.PENANAtXsTMNl15m
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."935Please respect copyright.PENANAF3t5cb0rlu
"I told you, our 935Please respect copyright.PENANAhKo20zv8Ej
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 935Please respect copyright.PENANATk40n12wdX
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 935Please respect copyright.PENANAJOjzs6OTRT
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 935Please respect copyright.PENANAe1E5wVBJsm
Daesung.935Please respect copyright.PENANAN5OWi1mkfJ
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.935Please respect copyright.PENANAHVam7X6308
I dialled Lee's number 935Please respect copyright.PENANAO8NR4aiWRp
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 935Please respect copyright.PENANAqWgpEqn4u1
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 935Please respect copyright.PENANARDJygmZLar
They would know soon enough.935Please respect copyright.PENANA8TnHJi4xLC
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.935Please respect copyright.PENANAJw8NrnQ45O
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.935Please respect copyright.PENANA5CKW0JBxWY
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAmqS4LzPkXk
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAA27HfbRixH
"No, not yet. But you 935Please respect copyright.PENANAMC0mpgs6w3
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And935Please respect copyright.PENANAoSChpVW7lE
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."935Please respect copyright.PENANAjkYvKTlfLG
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."935Please respect copyright.PENANAI1TvfomvbT
"Okay, I'll be waiting."935Please respect copyright.PENANAzNMdF6lWCo
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.935Please respect copyright.PENANA4TUgBkmk16
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAmltfrU2uF9
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."935Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vf5MM6h7V
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 935Please respect copyright.PENANABZ7HSV1Ifa
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."935Please respect copyright.PENANAoUfbnnsKUs
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.935Please respect copyright.PENANAgXmJp60vkh
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."935Please respect copyright.PENANASwRpF7wQ5d
I shook my head. I was 935Please respect copyright.PENANAQN0bSve5Xz
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 935Please respect copyright.PENANA3xNYboeL7w
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 935Please respect copyright.PENANAuVR6nWeGX1
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.935Please respect copyright.PENANAItXE1ZqQAb
After walking a few feet935Please respect copyright.PENANA60HX2Nsvz5
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 935Please respect copyright.PENANA48dF1icG6u
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was935Please respect copyright.PENANAXD3BN29hTi
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 935Please respect copyright.PENANAA7Uy6RU0md
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.935Please respect copyright.PENANAlWzY8VSnGd
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAwM0DfHO88Q
None of them answered as935Please respect copyright.PENANAjpunC3aVlA
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAJotmRc40lg
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 935Please respect copyright.PENANAMoNp040WS3
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.935Please respect copyright.PENANAcjQ2S8kqwT
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.935Please respect copyright.PENANA3dqWo2lxPS
"I wasn't going to say 935Please respect copyright.PENANArmUlwBWvlD
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing935Please respect copyright.PENANAx5SByAGMaO
you would want to hear from me is advice."935Please respect copyright.PENANAMkCzaXv5T3
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 935Please respect copyright.PENANA2ar1ssp9E5
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.935Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4X2UlU23D
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."935Please respect copyright.PENANAoM1moUKpFw
"I'm still upset, though."935Please respect copyright.PENANAwwPZRL4ewV
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."935Please respect copyright.PENANAgaBydgMDCL
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."935Please respect copyright.PENANAn0LV2dfhQj
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."935Please respect copyright.PENANAA7YwWjFeOb
I gave TOP an assuring 935Please respect copyright.PENANAmX4hc46xw0
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way935Please respect copyright.PENANASME0CAmycu
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAkOmNlN5A17
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I935Please respect copyright.PENANA81rLN1hFjN
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't935Please respect copyright.PENANAGRcl7fJJE5
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 935Please respect copyright.PENANA5b7hpa5BUp
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.935Please respect copyright.PENANADzCQxu7sF8
We all found ourselves 935Please respect copyright.PENANAG5FwUgGZjX
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins935Please respect copyright.PENANAqOM0KGjMPc
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 935Please respect copyright.PENANAnpilo6qI0A
were waiting for me. 935Please respect copyright.PENANA0UwWfxjndz
"Hey, Sam, you don't 935Please respect copyright.PENANAbPGwiy1uhP
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 935Please respect copyright.PENANAejIAq984fl
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.935Please respect copyright.PENANA5ujWL4ewwx
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."935Please respect copyright.PENANAOE5KLh5y31
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 935Please respect copyright.PENANAb1vjXObwhy
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAQid4jYG5kZ
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch935Please respect copyright.PENANAgZt9g88yT6
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAcG5It7A0jh
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.935Please respect copyright.PENANA7OgOofLu3b
I had my eyes closed 935Please respect copyright.PENANAxQHmH6GTzq
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found935Please respect copyright.PENANAgUPd2QzFGZ
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.935Please respect copyright.PENANAuSsKTgY0uo
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."935Please respect copyright.PENANAkzG7llRSDy
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.935Please respect copyright.PENANAZtOqGbOhI4
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."935Please respect copyright.PENANAp0gXbGJX3S
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."935Please respect copyright.PENANAPsIws5yxsT
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."935Please respect copyright.PENANAO0GDbUpoKW
Taeyang led me to his 935Please respect copyright.PENANArBtZju8Lcx
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 935Please respect copyright.PENANAK8Fc3UP8rl
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 935Please respect copyright.PENANA8X8MzbkoOk
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.935Please respect copyright.PENANAhgiyiqzjpZ
In about thirty minutes,935Please respect copyright.PENANAkcUPeoWg8l
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 935Please respect copyright.PENANAXt1IzxZCPo
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 935Please respect copyright.PENANAp9JS7ZX9AN
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 935Please respect copyright.PENANABefq29Biph
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 935Please respect copyright.PENANAntwNqfyRZE
appeared out of the elevator.935Please respect copyright.PENANAjze4u5ToQs
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"935Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rm1IRQkCR
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.935Please respect copyright.PENANAVKhMOuYXvM
Lee who stood behind 935Please respect copyright.PENANAHPE6AjCd8a
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 935Please respect copyright.PENANArdILcZVfjR
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 935Please respect copyright.PENANAC8jcprdcTt
other things in mind.935Please respect copyright.PENANAN1iCQUOosi
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAgWWvAYnyPA
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 935Please respect copyright.PENANAe6XxzSoXhb
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 935Please respect copyright.PENANAeHhcpzp6JT
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.935Please respect copyright.PENANAk5EaoSkRPZ
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANA9VZKB8fRXU
"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."935Please respect copyright.PENANAwmlcfMIEJt
There was an awkward 935Please respect copyright.PENANAgD3VnNLHuO
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,935Please respect copyright.PENANACpPQPdixGG
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.935Please respect copyright.PENANAVDp5BMmUj4
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANArLbj8YTobS
"Well, I hear the press 935Please respect copyright.PENANAHy6vVDVO0p
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon935Please respect copyright.PENANAY5wTKJKTug
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."935Please respect copyright.PENANAjLW1OwLjyR
"That won't be 935Please respect copyright.PENANA4lAFJ2sskw
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 935Please respect copyright.PENANAanS87vJDwZ
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to935Please respect copyright.PENANA2NctIe83Kp
go to the press looking all wet."935Please respect copyright.PENANAWXQZTX3aiE
I breathed out a sigh of935Please respect copyright.PENANA8v9Vey3NLH
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 935Please respect copyright.PENANAL0TDTN29G8
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.935Please respect copyright.PENANA6sMBRK7GPZ
"In the meantime, you go935Please respect copyright.PENANAqDuaR8tfKT
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 935Please respect copyright.PENANA8dHz4dEcsb
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."935Please respect copyright.PENANASrHqjV7H1P
I nodded my head in 935Please respect copyright.PENANAcmoW0TbLVV
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 935Please respect copyright.PENANAL9u1mZMZ1i
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.935Please respect copyright.PENANATJmHJ5fAKF
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.935Please respect copyright.PENANA4XhUGMgVM2
"Alright," I said 935Please respect copyright.PENANAbwXtnv7CN3
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 935Please respect copyright.PENANAkcz8t7XxSu
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like935Please respect copyright.PENANAzWqGWhlroq
I was only making things worse.935Please respect copyright.PENANAc7ybyDCqdG
Before I turned to leave935Please respect copyright.PENANAGu9FDuddvb
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 935Please respect copyright.PENANAeUEuqDpUKh
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 935Please respect copyright.PENANAOUp3SayhJJ
one.935Please respect copyright.PENANAFhjU6OywtW
***935Please respect copyright.PENANAmlw3llQE4Y
I sat on the couch all 935Please respect copyright.PENANAglqHgCeYQU
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued935Please respect copyright.PENANAW0bBYQpdBM
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"935Please respect copyright.PENANAI9gaGvpxpJ
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 935Please respect copyright.PENANA28W6u09LiS
I had a box of paper 935Please respect copyright.PENANAe6RoUaHpsp
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my935Please respect copyright.PENANAsQelv0OudS
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 935Please respect copyright.PENANADmAP8z29ay
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.935Please respect copyright.PENANA4yw7tXJ0ef
I continued watching the935Please respect copyright.PENANAHcFwA8O7oY
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 935Please respect copyright.PENANAkpzGdRjAt0
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.935Please respect copyright.PENANAEFxAFnYjLu
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.935Please respect copyright.PENANAFq2rnjUVvU
"Never better," I said, 935Please respect copyright.PENANAERByK7EN8A
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 935Please respect copyright.PENANA2wCC5bDrbb
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."935Please respect copyright.PENANADaV21aFYnW
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.935Please respect copyright.PENANAywpKiPsaeW
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.935Please respect copyright.PENANAHVRCiPaknN
"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.935Please respect copyright.PENANAZQSfNXdPWI
"And the others?" 935Please respect copyright.PENANApqCktwcd62
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.935Please respect copyright.PENANAbGCtEWX3kh
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.935Please respect copyright.PENANAT4UMPSvfSh
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANADSCYF3gCdM
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.935Please respect copyright.PENANAgc8lFMTCJA
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.935Please respect copyright.PENANAuXpepMYV8R
"You don't know or you are?"935Please respect copyright.PENANApouAH8rtVD
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.935Please respect copyright.PENANAtBjDowYtG5
"I don't know, Tae," I 935Please respect copyright.PENANAgWvAitFrlv
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 935Please respect copyright.PENANA8RH3TyRbIS
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 935Please respect copyright.PENANAQOD2OvBdvh
forget all that happened yesterday."935Please respect copyright.PENANAzHQj0m7gIL
"Ya, I understand. They 935Please respect copyright.PENANAhPpi6VCi3D
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 935Please respect copyright.PENANA1cNja8tcu4
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were935Please respect copyright.PENANAFCwzLbfhfa
going to get."935Please respect copyright.PENANA3sdZkFazap
I looked on at Taeyang 935Please respect copyright.PENANAETHh8r63Kv
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 935Please respect copyright.PENANAfh3jz3OTlf
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 935Please respect copyright.PENANAswTJ0V2FJS
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 935Please respect copyright.PENANALiUrqnkmoL
who was as tough as nails.935Please respect copyright.PENANAktYP6joCMd
Last night, I took the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAWbGT3IZoH1
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 935Please respect copyright.PENANAlyaJ26gU0N
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 935Please respect copyright.PENANAL7QCfrGs8q
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 935Please respect copyright.PENANA8mJnZ1KOOi
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAbZx4QD3TEC
Apparently, the managers935Please respect copyright.PENANAabQ17m7Tni
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 935Please respect copyright.PENANAYsyQOkKTDS
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought935Please respect copyright.PENANAbTnoyHaQVa
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 935Please respect copyright.PENANAtFFIecuCKu
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 935Please respect copyright.PENANAoXXi5GjunF
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 935Please respect copyright.PENANAm82NU8OrbB
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 935Please respect copyright.PENANAqn1JkcmWVk
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 935Please respect copyright.PENANAjVlfA6E6BI
and the reporters.935Please respect copyright.PENANAIO4YxSJ2yN
After my confrontation 935Please respect copyright.PENANAMPUsYNwhCl
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I935Please respect copyright.PENANA5EcSOu1Sof
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,935Please respect copyright.PENANADg5gd3JMSS
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.935Please respect copyright.PENANAgETurCxm73
"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."935Please respect copyright.PENANA2clkKOImJ0
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.935Please respect copyright.PENANAzWd6lqZg0t
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."935Please respect copyright.PENANAMGBW5Gzr0O
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."935Please respect copyright.PENANAAN2dfFQ2Gb
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."935Please respect copyright.PENANAfyQlBJe7x7
"Have you tried talking to GD?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAYgtWjHiJQj
"To be honest, I haven't935Please respect copyright.PENANA41VOjOspKf
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 935Please respect copyright.PENANAUvqf4tgJ3m
slap him in the face if I see him."935Please respect copyright.PENANA93I8mgVgjs
"I don't doubt that."935Please respect copyright.PENANAzt2d8otKNQ
"And thank goodness my 935Please respect copyright.PENANAl3KsfQepJh
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 935Please respect copyright.PENANAq1DmgUqByK
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I935Please respect copyright.PENANAJG79we3x03
want to do is watch some TV."935Please respect copyright.PENANAC5OJBFjmqS
I quickly drank my 935Please respect copyright.PENANAUbGfkJ9qCa
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 935Please respect copyright.PENANAWVUkkppI20
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 935Please respect copyright.PENANAawXNAWXucc
to.935Please respect copyright.PENANAMfp0iXp6Qm
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.935Please respect copyright.PENANA9omb6cJSDh
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.935Please respect copyright.PENANAmkWaTkQVxr
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAgX6JPjyUVU
"Nope."935Please respect copyright.PENANAKLeZ9ITgxq
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.935Please respect copyright.PENANAT2aWHLagct
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAqLiW47OXEx
Taeyang didn't say 935Please respect copyright.PENANAc86iTctMVB
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened935Please respect copyright.PENANAjb8oQ1hhjC
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."935Please respect copyright.PENANAODLn3ptCIy
"I know you fought or 935Please respect copyright.PENANAgxnRv88e5C
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 935Please respect copyright.PENANApKGh3innu4
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."935Please respect copyright.PENANA2CWu0OW65B
I noticed Taeyang smile 935Please respect copyright.PENANAZEvRJuNmfp
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 935Please respect copyright.PENANAVQksI7v0VM
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 935Please respect copyright.PENANAITzziKvcnr
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.935Please respect copyright.PENANAVEfXdLt0Tu
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.935Please respect copyright.PENANASo2a5HKekC
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."935Please respect copyright.PENANAhi7XhvgmfB
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?935Please respect copyright.PENANAOo8KOwNopr
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.935Please respect copyright.PENANADR6F3oIAHz
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."935Please respect copyright.PENANA8IXXf7ODf0
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."935Please respect copyright.PENANAFmvjk0KTdh
Before I could finish my935Please respect copyright.PENANA43JiMICB6o
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 935Please respect copyright.PENANAAhGE7Ab8ta
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.935Please respect copyright.PENANAm7zM4o0diD
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.935Please respect copyright.PENANAm7DymKmf95
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.935Please respect copyright.PENANAAMIlnvNcmi
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."935Please respect copyright.PENANAAsTmFZAHIW
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."935Please respect copyright.PENANAY9SJEeVfh4
"Yep, cheers to that." 935Please respect copyright.PENANAWF4yGvoaig
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANA8DsinvPFRk
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.935Please respect copyright.PENANAt4kVe1GBFG
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAXiNhSbxKQL
"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."935Please respect copyright.PENANAc09fiUbwoo
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."935Please respect copyright.PENANAgSKiTFoEK6
"Wow, that sounds personal."935Please respect copyright.PENANA4zTST4Ou4r
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."935Please respect copyright.PENANA4VZDBCWPiE
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAJnh7d822lA
"I think I've a better 935Please respect copyright.PENANAIgXdq1OXM5
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 935Please respect copyright.PENANAGmxHd4U6ZC
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 935Please respect copyright.PENANAOcla5bFa0j
lyrics. It's better that way."935Please respect copyright.PENANA08NSCZnW7r
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAE4qIhYGqJA
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."935Please respect copyright.PENANAExJ3JXu2ls
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."935Please respect copyright.PENANA1xIEQfZQvW
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."935Please respect copyright.PENANAbTKh82ePi1
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."935Please respect copyright.PENANAtzqmpYNXek
"Haha, good point."935Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ2Jv5IqOa
Taeyang and I continued 935Please respect copyright.PENANA4sRBUQgVTR
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 935Please respect copyright.PENANAtQld1Xw3o5
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 935Please respect copyright.PENANAhNOniW2E9R
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we935Please respect copyright.PENANA9k4f7cXVpp
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 935Please respect copyright.PENANAdRpj3ZYHNF
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 935Please respect copyright.PENANA4voPEOeVvK
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 935Please respect copyright.PENANARfmYf0YNBB
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 935Please respect copyright.PENANAYhcITxqHzm
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.935Please respect copyright.PENANAqEvwnVMIej
While the two of us were935Please respect copyright.PENANAs5U2MHRPJv
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,935Please respect copyright.PENANAaoPvyOd8mr
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAkKYl2VOFeZ
I quickly went over to 935Please respect copyright.PENANAOvtUsuP1gw
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was935Please respect copyright.PENANAoZUR0ElBue
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung935Please respect copyright.PENANACdu2TsnTqK
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could935Please respect copyright.PENANApfES8nuSiJ
come up and I put the receiver down.935Please respect copyright.PENANAkiCdvJ3l6L
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."935Please respect copyright.PENANAXE6vsV540k
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."935Please respect copyright.PENANAS6snWlDxWG
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."935Please respect copyright.PENANAHjkBshMPxL
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.935Please respect copyright.PENANA2cw2W5VL20
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.935Please respect copyright.PENANAiAELmYYPvZ
"Eww, that pillow 935Please respect copyright.PENANAnNYCQTzYv7
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 935Please respect copyright.PENANASiewu9iFUl
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.935Please respect copyright.PENANAlvE3KOnILX
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.935Please respect copyright.PENANAD2UG76F2K6
A few seconds later, we 935Please respect copyright.PENANAQjPgliHOta
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 935Please respect copyright.PENANAIYCrT7G4IV
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 935Please respect copyright.PENANATwzZmVBvHo
holding a box of chocolates.935Please respect copyright.PENANAkVuvqR3AvS
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.935Please respect copyright.PENANA0ClCWErsHc
"Ah, no, the panda is a 935Please respect copyright.PENANAryKFYIgJm2
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 935Please respect copyright.PENANA1NRxh8RX7Q
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 935Please respect copyright.PENANATTWNAFZuJe
same time.935Please respect copyright.PENANAaN7ayjv7YS
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."935Please respect copyright.PENANAombauuWb2O
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.935Please respect copyright.PENANAYoCn2xiOag
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"935Please respect copyright.PENANA3x4VIJ3hDh
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."935Please respect copyright.PENANAqlZImXDIbh
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.935Please respect copyright.PENANAT24zNvf0mi
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.935Please respect copyright.PENANAHdJFx3uosa
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."935Please respect copyright.PENANA6QGJEOZErw
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.935Please respect copyright.PENANAZKAJFVaxJm
"For goodness sake, I 935Please respect copyright.PENANAlar8BHYa3L
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 935Please respect copyright.PENANAelJsEqPwJO
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 935Please respect copyright.PENANA2AHpMid3hs
scared with me."935Please respect copyright.PENANAUsd9zATp0C
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.935Please respect copyright.PENANAsig9gPdeED
I took the panda in my 935Please respect copyright.PENANACa2UMxrGNZ
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 935Please respect copyright.PENANApcmoJVMty1
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 935Please respect copyright.PENANABkPUTWSg9x
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 935Please respect copyright.PENANANUBNCGieMg
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.935Please respect copyright.PENANAWCVaI47tPt
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."935Please respect copyright.PENANAhDZM6Oj1HG
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."935Please respect copyright.PENANAmiz0ODOQyy
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAjJyaKxnWZZ
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.935Please respect copyright.PENANAUwcv1uvDOi
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."935Please respect copyright.PENANAyXR7yNyY7Q
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I935Please respect copyright.PENANAmnQCRxXOiP
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 935Please respect copyright.PENANAHOiOD4fZFZ
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 935Please respect copyright.PENANAjHirz8MTWN
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."935Please respect copyright.PENANACaTY6QFiF0
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."935Please respect copyright.PENANAcMUkgpe4BV
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."935Please respect copyright.PENANANJaPlsQxR8
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.935Please respect copyright.PENANAROJzmZBsWn
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."935Please respect copyright.PENANAz5YutA293e
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.935Please respect copyright.PENANAwsL1JxIBFu
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."935Please respect copyright.PENANADbaCUO7rVe
"Ya, I do."935Please respect copyright.PENANAQo5BeGcvEn
While the four of us 935Please respect copyright.PENANAAlMEMQuBRF
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 935Please respect copyright.PENANAQtF4EgkZ0J
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 935Please respect copyright.PENANALoM4VSEhfV
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 935Please respect copyright.PENANADpHwIs7t2n
said:935Please respect copyright.PENANAU63YFMNbBW
"Hey, Zoey." 935Please respect copyright.PENANAL1KUX2gyBg
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAyYP3qKuUJj
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."935Please respect copyright.PENANALsdypPSu5T
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.935Please respect copyright.PENANAb8F1QlBr47
"It's good you came to 935Please respect copyright.PENANAXLSQixwVmC
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 935Please respect copyright.PENANAs9l1frnEqD
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 935Please respect copyright.PENANATU7sgLfspA
couch.935Please respect copyright.PENANAS4Cf3yT5Ye
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"935Please respect copyright.PENANAE3kNxfUS71
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"935Please respect copyright.PENANAyO8VKrCaM6
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAiM89IkOyMW
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAdipcdDhQvu
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.935Please respect copyright.PENANAtskupKvDYR
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.935Please respect copyright.PENANASlyv2z1bac
I tugged at my panda's 935Please respect copyright.PENANAEZnQdXUZf7
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it935Please respect copyright.PENANA0FZ2RY8dWw
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking935Please respect copyright.PENANAU2B12un4R2
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.935Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bjq6OeF7M
The Toxins came back to 935Please respect copyright.PENANAWkMYEZXYIW
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held935Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ4wYfsNvy
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine935Please respect copyright.PENANA9ShSh8flSS
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.935Please respect copyright.PENANASslltDJU1l
For a moment, no one 935Please respect copyright.PENANAfOPhEXO4gZ
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 935Please respect copyright.PENANANzd8VMxGKM
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.935Please respect copyright.PENANAEO8GsevMnI
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.935Please respect copyright.PENANAkeIO4KP7Ij
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAKx7V6GkWIj
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.935Please respect copyright.PENANAD5kOrLeWVH
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."935Please respect copyright.PENANAWpXBykJQDj
I stared up at the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAayyHdyDhJv
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 935Please respect copyright.PENANAzousUFIKip
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.935Please respect copyright.PENANAZqLDdVoZLL
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."935Please respect copyright.PENANAft3F4BeMwn
When Zoey tried to reach935Please respect copyright.PENANA0UXrfEYabp
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 935Please respect copyright.PENANA7AQMubXW05
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.935Please respect copyright.PENANAJm66h2UFK0
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.935Please respect copyright.PENANAHG3Y3cfoX4
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.935Please respect copyright.PENANA9pHeqQDcFh
Zoey looked hurt with 935Please respect copyright.PENANAMeaEXkxCwj
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 935Please respect copyright.PENANAFCBI2OYAZI
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.935Please respect copyright.PENANALKmrUxl2CA
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANADucylYPrMI
I didn't answer as I put935Please respect copyright.PENANAhGwiCSeSlA
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I935Please respect copyright.PENANAtJQJjkpw1y
was still mad, especially at Zoey.935Please respect copyright.PENANAKvpQ8HDhZc
"I know it's a little 935Please respect copyright.PENANAoh4vhas7gX
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 935Please respect copyright.PENANAiGtVP3L7Gv
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 935Please respect copyright.PENANASbEUK4TKSV
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 935Please respect copyright.PENANAP4WPboTpWi
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAzoAKPzyYTV
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 935Please respect copyright.PENANAeRse4yenru
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."935Please respect copyright.PENANA1aWLU5y86j
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.935Please respect copyright.PENANACv6tS1x09i
"I don't like it when 935Please respect copyright.PENANAmIpn8z4oOt
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 935Please respect copyright.PENANAAGCBpANTuC
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 935Please respect copyright.PENANAzmtsaiFJDQ
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 935Please respect copyright.PENANAlqYiMvmFfB
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 935Please respect copyright.PENANAmhciyUOnkg
sorry, Sam."935Please respect copyright.PENANAnf6OPrMoCy
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."935Please respect copyright.PENANAbXAcOoDEiG
"I'm sorry too," said 935Please respect copyright.PENANAbzvtOmAoQm
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 935Please respect copyright.PENANAlzr8S9zsPA
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 935Please respect copyright.PENANAqF1wC7aM2k
for you to talk to us again."935Please respect copyright.PENANA5SfBx3RmH9
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 935Please respect copyright.PENANAbha8SAKFU9
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 935Please respect copyright.PENANAJMJdUoAy1s
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 935Please respect copyright.PENANAHGOMqye0Rt
leader."935Please respect copyright.PENANAPNAZ4tbWou
I still didn't say a 935Please respect copyright.PENANAHk5POIHOaU
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 935Please respect copyright.PENANA4WDFix4G8m
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 935Please respect copyright.PENANAda9wpoj1DO
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 935Please respect copyright.PENANAVeFvipZwCn
them despite the awful things they put me through.935Please respect copyright.PENANALDWqBUygQ1
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAaqrB29Ujvx
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."935Please respect copyright.PENANAm6edPqkG9w
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.935Please respect copyright.PENANAUu2zheFCqx
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.935Please respect copyright.PENANAOJBI68kagj
"I'm mad and pretty much935Please respect copyright.PENANAcSCPnS5LDx
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 935Please respect copyright.PENANAoa6Tvegy99
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."935Please respect copyright.PENANA8RP4QtaqCF
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAabc1U6F9JG
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."935Please respect copyright.PENANAYbAQxEmQ8Z
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.935Please respect copyright.PENANAHzBaeW8T6E
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 935Please respect copyright.PENANARQ4gDntfed
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 935Please respect copyright.PENANARwQFppm2Ij
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."935Please respect copyright.PENANAh6V2fLxEzH
"Ah, you! Always acting 935Please respect copyright.PENANArLaeiL5IWO
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 935Please respect copyright.PENANACi7v6EcCkq
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 935Please respect copyright.PENANAHzpkX4cY6z
catch it anyway."935Please respect copyright.PENANAb3YTQ8kOes
Christine, Daniel and 935Please respect copyright.PENANAKDB4UsyJ2Q
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAx3aJmaqze8
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 935Please respect copyright.PENANA7OaAdUs7sq
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.935Please respect copyright.PENANATlOYl2CXZV
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.935Please respect copyright.PENANALVhm1rdlwo
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.935Please respect copyright.PENANAnpmVnwoG0i
"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...."935Please respect copyright.PENANAi6yjybShET
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.935Please respect copyright.PENANA0vl1ug7WTc
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."935Please respect copyright.PENANATWZPoPIYRi
"Don't worry, you won't 935Please respect copyright.PENANAyEP5XrVpSI
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 935Please respect copyright.PENANAz3Mlcxmd79
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.935Please respect copyright.PENANA716XpniyuL
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.935Please respect copyright.PENANAaOktMOPiuP
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.935Please respect copyright.PENANAfCb4kbNOiW
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAE8jYtvXs4n
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."935Please respect copyright.PENANAILvIhkLGN3
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.935Please respect copyright.PENANAXyDPzLQqrU
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 935Please respect copyright.PENANATcukNlCdB7
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAtNTryiXDxc
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."935Please respect copyright.PENANAyhol9ieeXz
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.935Please respect copyright.PENANAsblf3E4OrE
At that moment, I had 935Please respect copyright.PENANAvJYx18CfWP
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.935Please respect copyright.PENANAI6bvjctoK2
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.935Please respect copyright.PENANAD4ijsunAdh
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAoIvyXV1e1W
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.935Please respect copyright.PENANAhJw4xFx77C
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."935Please respect copyright.PENANAq76chl2qv4
Zoey got the box of 935Please respect copyright.PENANAWOUiGdF4Ji
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 935Please respect copyright.PENANAg2wi3Ua2lA
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.935Please respect copyright.PENANAP2qsWwi6MU
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.935Please respect copyright.PENANAnACSLx1pRm
I was in the passage as I935Please respect copyright.PENANAG2FkyeHqoP
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 935Please respect copyright.PENANAkzN5VK6NUs
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed935Please respect copyright.PENANAqSoVxhaYxl
in what felt like sadness.935Please respect copyright.PENANAc1qnifoTNN
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.935Please respect copyright.PENANAzm0FL2QVEc
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."935Please respect copyright.PENANAQTSVuaOuaQ
I heard his footsteps 935Please respect copyright.PENANA8PG5VOiK50
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 935Please respect copyright.PENANA2SflyBHWzU
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.935Please respect copyright.PENANAFL8bUcIhkK
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANATdgCQhAygJ
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANA9LwwhhdYIg
"Are we really do this right now?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAePWut35Iys
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 935Please respect copyright.PENANAQJM3Thqqxl
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.935Please respect copyright.PENANAVHFo3DSdGV
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANATnpD8EAKVL
"Nope." 935Please respect copyright.PENANAVyzdJa4Nqd
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."935Please respect copyright.PENANAo4iqHPDkoG
My eyes almost felt like935Please respect copyright.PENANA83fWKPJHvZ
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 935Please respect copyright.PENANAEGxnZhGMFw
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.935Please respect copyright.PENANAHQi0vt7pAo
I turned to look at him 935Please respect copyright.PENANAYJvhQHNSvu
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 935Please respect copyright.PENANAlYXygp9fLp
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.935Please respect copyright.PENANAw17khAknS6
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.935Please respect copyright.PENANASMH6LZ6rQj
"That you're surrounded 935Please respect copyright.PENANARzPSLCsKZV
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 935Please respect copyright.PENANAAcHKob9rrA
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 935Please respect copyright.PENANAhOxU52sVOn
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."935Please respect copyright.PENANAVkI9TBN75G
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 935Please respect copyright.PENANAU4ipg8stwe
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."935Please respect copyright.PENANAoqUvY8QAvH
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAGDYZf5OXlf
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."935Please respect copyright.PENANA0wzTX7R7YB
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."935Please respect copyright.PENANAT0dlG6ZV87
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAoouvshAHnx
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."935Please respect copyright.PENANA5LNQWoWZVt
Apparently, I couldn't 935Please respect copyright.PENANAmxqBP0M1Rw
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 935Please respect copyright.PENANAWunvjawOBl
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAGPOckXFjKa
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 935Please respect copyright.PENANA8OujTAK5L9
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 935Please respect copyright.PENANAVvj4ExWcB8
death.935Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7NcGOnPQF
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.935Please respect copyright.PENANA0gKIs68IYj
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."935Please respect copyright.PENANAIm5JGlicv2
Taeyang folded his arms 935Please respect copyright.PENANAZucXgawsMV
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think935Please respect copyright.PENANAY8AhLPFRk9
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."935Please respect copyright.PENANAkXUorToWo0
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.935Please respect copyright.PENANAVy4BhVYApk
"You're may think you're935Please respect copyright.PENANAJTHXUygtAT
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 935Please respect copyright.PENANA0OOepIG4Z6
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 935Please respect copyright.PENANAKTTcD4PkNV
but feeling hurt."935Please respect copyright.PENANArSJR2Q7K9m
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.935Please respect copyright.PENANAOXWc9OnzPE
"But I wouldn't feel 935Please respect copyright.PENANAN5DXZNbhhi
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 935Please respect copyright.PENANAEyGGQ0iry7
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 935Please respect copyright.PENANApcdt4fNk47
at Taeyang.935Please respect copyright.PENANAlIoHWcdGiB
Taeyang gave me that 935Please respect copyright.PENANAaUtPS7wLPj
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 935Please respect copyright.PENANAduOZNkKNBb
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 935Please respect copyright.PENANADSp21HMBBI
while in return, he nodded.935Please respect copyright.PENANAhljdhIiYgJ
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAi0BOvdUMd2
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."935Please respect copyright.PENANARIw9KExgeV
I didn't say a word as I935Please respect copyright.PENANAbPTsX3sihm
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my935Please respect copyright.PENANAHzKZG7iLgb
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 935Please respect copyright.PENANA4NeOuuP2Ak
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 935Please respect copyright.PENANADO1fq90LO8
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.935Please respect copyright.PENANAMvK33ea3c6
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."935Please respect copyright.PENANAs0vt9QIBsq
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."935Please respect copyright.PENANAfqrephJH2J
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."935Please respect copyright.PENANAAcBJjkwVZj
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAzTqNiWuy1t
If there was ever a way I935Please respect copyright.PENANAtafnGgup6b
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 935Please respect copyright.PENANADwl4z5vFRC
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 935Please respect copyright.PENANArm92f5BT0J
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.935Please respect copyright.PENANAoYcxQmicV9
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAJmeW9xAMGh
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAeY2BW1xa26
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.935Please respect copyright.PENANAPxkUIAvnRY
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.935Please respect copyright.PENANANpJEthmJT4
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANADKeI55DSwz
"Well, I'm just asking,"935Please respect copyright.PENANAFBHpIOzDUV
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,935Please respect copyright.PENANAJgN8pJnEu3
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."935Please respect copyright.PENANASDw4i2rDDd
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.935Please respect copyright.PENANAWVus9D41Tx
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.935Please respect copyright.PENANAKrXUsDVsyF
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.935Please respect copyright.PENANAEwk9bAuKM0
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.935Please respect copyright.PENANAtR5icfdAX7
I pressed the button 935Please respect copyright.PENANAVUA9MK3pfn
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 935Please respect copyright.PENANAM1npaXQh2G
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 935Please respect copyright.PENANAgoUQOW8zrc
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.935Please respect copyright.PENANANXP8Uo8mCv
We went to the main 935Please respect copyright.PENANAYyQ0Bdq5Np
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for935Please respect copyright.PENANARgpxaPC4R2
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 935Please respect copyright.PENANAUHD6EDodOB
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.935Please respect copyright.PENANAj4pNK6ZJCS
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.935Please respect copyright.PENANAzApx62VCJE
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAbJbrSUiR7k
"To be honest, we just 935Please respect copyright.PENANAKjujyRS4Cc
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAGX1fNx1RBI
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."935Please respect copyright.PENANArgHaUgiSVb
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.935Please respect copyright.PENANA6v2Ub5PpI7
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.935Please respect copyright.PENANAGM2GTI0LdA
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.935Please respect copyright.PENANASIq0jMRA0I
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.935Please respect copyright.PENANARt8kNVeqC2
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.935Please respect copyright.PENANA0a2MbJ2fbn
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.935Please respect copyright.PENANAcRydo9elBz
"Nah, I don't think so,"935Please respect copyright.PENANARrpDtAGCuP
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so935Please respect copyright.PENANAdsIHiR9bkH
he would be treating me like that."935Please respect copyright.PENANAtbVbAT8Who
"Mmm, I don't think so,"935Please respect copyright.PENANAFZdBOr1Lm8
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 935Please respect copyright.PENANAFLmtjrSAZS
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"935Please respect copyright.PENANA5DTg1DpBX6
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."935Please respect copyright.PENANAMhcn3BjZTJ
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.935Please respect copyright.PENANA2pv4gyt8MN
"Then, stop trying to make one."935Please respect copyright.PENANANBz4Cw5oPC
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."935Please respect copyright.PENANAdWekWuh9xX
"Ya, me too," said Mike.935Please respect copyright.PENANAHAcaZ4SqPU
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.935Please respect copyright.PENANAijCUgZSaPx
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAVEQ0KBaUvZ
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.935Please respect copyright.PENANArZR67KnsdS
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."935Please respect copyright.PENANACpJhl5dbgx
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAZOOkKayZ3v
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.935Please respect copyright.PENANAIopOeTjVxQ
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."935Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ4zpwbRBy
I didn't even dare try 935Please respect copyright.PENANANh7ftEpuKV
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 935Please respect copyright.PENANAbOCOqnVXbi
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.935Please respect copyright.PENANAwdkKDNaqon
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAUXwttnCmgC
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"935Please respect copyright.PENANA1FL4jgisiO
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.935Please respect copyright.PENANAFK3T9yJgt0
I heard footsteps coming935Please respect copyright.PENANAGTAnqBGDgj
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 935Please respect copyright.PENANAHqVRcb2OGU
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 935Please respect copyright.PENANAtEEW649wBV
look at me.935Please respect copyright.PENANAXXmB4PsRoV
"Are you okay?" he whispered.935Please respect copyright.PENANAPt3fVyX9l8
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.935Please respect copyright.PENANAPlpXIEH01t
I soon felt strong hands935Please respect copyright.PENANArLmSCjLmnN
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD935Please respect copyright.PENANAupiFQCCTTV
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.935Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z0bNvErZI
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"935Please respect copyright.PENANA34bY2UtNvY
"I'm a whole lot better,935Please respect copyright.PENANAewQGXXcGwm
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 935Please respect copyright.PENANA3gMSsHQcqo
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.935Please respect copyright.PENANAOwO8m7m5xP
"Glad to hear that."935Please respect copyright.PENANAr1j8rVNSBP
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.935Please respect copyright.PENANAx6uk6cCXx3
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."935Please respect copyright.PENANAde7lE6mokl
I was planning not to 935Please respect copyright.PENANAS3ukrJiIkd
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 935Please respect copyright.PENANAqydQF3gJMi
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 935Please respect copyright.PENANAuyNsJUFbLq
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to935Please respect copyright.PENANAzWSsvIS6uO
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 935Please respect copyright.PENANA1JbuA4Fz4U
under the bridge.935Please respect copyright.PENANA4u4eTi5k66
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."935Please respect copyright.PENANAQohpwNpuCU
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAw1DrknFJCw
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."935Please respect copyright.PENANA4nStpO4QMd
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."935Please respect copyright.PENANAQWAWE9pH4Q
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.935Please respect copyright.PENANAekcqH96Ljx
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.935Please respect copyright.PENANADl1Lnmp4qu
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANA2xaRhktmFZ
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."935Please respect copyright.PENANASy1FqcXKrd
The waiters soon came 935Please respect copyright.PENANA8QnyzHcin3
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.935Please respect copyright.PENANA4rBz7KeZKt
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 935Please respect copyright.PENANAG3Yzty8uUW
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 935Please respect copyright.PENANA2JaeECWo5q
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.935Please respect copyright.PENANArAqqqmyQcV
For a moment, I felt 935Please respect copyright.PENANATShI3jAYfe
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAjBlN7sbmEk
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 935Please respect copyright.PENANAxoJOoud4oW
me to forget that I was ever mad.935Please respect copyright.PENANAy4fNHAKJpB
"Mmm, this is so 935Please respect copyright.PENANA9BJTHb1qb3
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 935Please respect copyright.PENANAI4D9DMMmWS
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."935Please respect copyright.PENANAWNAOtS8fH7
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."935Please respect copyright.PENANAE2MOHYEQwj
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."935Please respect copyright.PENANAVGSJqihY3m
"Anything for you, Sam,"935Please respect copyright.PENANAubaUTu6Dpa
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 935Please respect copyright.PENANAcUfPc34hy3
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."935Please respect copyright.PENANAUvOUYKO93M
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAayHRmupgMm
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.935Please respect copyright.PENANAbN72vRTSWq
I had just taken in some935Please respect copyright.PENANAa6ucVq5wR2
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 935Please respect copyright.PENANAJDKB8nHfA2
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly935Please respect copyright.PENANA6QvannoY2e
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 935Please respect copyright.PENANAba2qirOPYA
just said.935Please respect copyright.PENANApIgc8sFilR
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAIr7E2bUuvO
"Well, ya," Christine 935Please respect copyright.PENANACGYsnCj2N4
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 935Please respect copyright.PENANA9YJQ4QdXsn
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 935Please respect copyright.PENANAYUHeNBLaLK
special lunch to lighten your mood."935Please respect copyright.PENANAjphslDHSW5
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.935Please respect copyright.PENANAJzZjWTQNL6
"Thanks for the lunch, 935Please respect copyright.PENANAq2O7o2TGfg
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so935Please respect copyright.PENANAPSXAI3Wjjw
sweet of you to have come up with this."935Please respect copyright.PENANAeAKzevYHV9
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.935Please respect copyright.PENANACCrdKR2eAQ
I almost felt like 935Please respect copyright.PENANANP66fo9B1h
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 935Please respect copyright.PENANAsQpJhCXLU2
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare935Please respect copyright.PENANAxU33xOGpkF
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 935Please respect copyright.PENANAqJPgBGK4OS
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 935Please respect copyright.PENANA9kAdRMt4pN
turning into rage?935Please respect copyright.PENANAyxBz1BjYcP
Oh, goodness. I needed 935Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ0bgtOOUC
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 935Please respect copyright.PENANAmcx60LS6fU
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 935Please respect copyright.PENANAwhWKoTmhSQ
I tried to push aside 935Please respect copyright.PENANABoD0mvlh29
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 935Please respect copyright.PENANADqctFyB419
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 935Please respect copyright.PENANAB7fDZ7nWLW
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 935Please respect copyright.PENANAkuJDdTvAJg
chocolate moussé.935Please respect copyright.PENANACQsS1SauOW
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,935Please respect copyright.PENANAmB6PqW54CW
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 935Please respect copyright.PENANAD4tn71AAqN
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.935Please respect copyright.PENANADIhCb7DCnc
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.935Please respect copyright.PENANApzVBLr3R1y
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."935Please respect copyright.PENANAhv1usAF5at
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.935Please respect copyright.PENANA3o111uexvB
I didn't wait for 935Please respect copyright.PENANAcG4AAFAAch
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I935Please respect copyright.PENANAo8givmQACB
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed935Please respect copyright.PENANA4hpbHqxJw9
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 935Please respect copyright.PENANAN0yUssBJtr
heaven.935Please respect copyright.PENANAGGOBfEOmCK
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.935Please respect copyright.PENANATULkd7wNrr
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."935Please respect copyright.PENANAwysaax7ANO
"I don't care," I said 935Please respect copyright.PENANABFJoEBMFqi
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 935Please respect copyright.PENANAjPC6p4pvgO
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."935Please respect copyright.PENANAKQzhNB4btS
G-Dragon smiled back at 935Please respect copyright.PENANAw5U7eevIi6
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 935Please respect copyright.PENANA56kVukFlXT
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 935Please respect copyright.PENANA8rHQJLfYAM
away.935Please respect copyright.PENANAyAYQgOiDcb
After dessert, we all 935Please respect copyright.PENANATl4Tw0Xbez
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 935Please respect copyright.PENANAvHaRvxeF2C
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 935Please respect copyright.PENANAfek18QnZun
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 935Please respect copyright.PENANAyYeNzPtplZ
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 935Please respect copyright.PENANAl2vylTczSk
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 935Please respect copyright.PENANAkM11Sg5Non
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.935Please respect copyright.PENANA45jftEydVb
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAV50HfOUe3P
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.935Please respect copyright.PENANATCdyWZ1K3V
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."935Please respect copyright.PENANAWgYLp4A6jo
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.935Please respect copyright.PENANAClgksOqMzN
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."935Please respect copyright.PENANAmDrNzodYAB
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."935Please respect copyright.PENANA1tLw17t0bk
"What stuff?" TOP asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAxtXTz5Zpzo
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAonpbkGTkQA
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."935Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZpCnKzpK7
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.935Please respect copyright.PENANAP8xrKiZPLy
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.935Please respect copyright.PENANAnEFy84Qr9C
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.935Please respect copyright.PENANALQQJKz5Ncp
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.935Please respect copyright.PENANAuXQounqlks
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."935Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4i3HSBV9n
"Wait, what's going on?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAN27IiCWYqS
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 935Please respect copyright.PENANA5EZagH7VDM
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"935Please respect copyright.PENANA5OLlnci2xQ
"I thought we should all935Please respect copyright.PENANANuaHa00MYX
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 935Please respect copyright.PENANAvrEaWsahRs
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."935Please respect copyright.PENANAGuZzhdTQ07
"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.935Please respect copyright.PENANAHVa1jVJtlt
"I don't know, I feel we935Please respect copyright.PENANA8UTV5H88lm
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.935Please respect copyright.PENANAepDpE4srnz
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out935Please respect copyright.PENANA0trMdF7gdy
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."935Please respect copyright.PENANAEQYqXFDn6E
"I don't get it though,"935Please respect copyright.PENANAhAEbiPLHLI
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 935Please respect copyright.PENANAstGB3IoVru
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write935Please respect copyright.PENANArvdywCXAzq
the lyrics?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAqFeUcnSwiw
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.935Please respect copyright.PENANAFc2uYwMHFG
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAz9HU7Sayi5
This time, I also raised935Please respect copyright.PENANANZGQf4hMGF
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 935Please respect copyright.PENANAhfNZZvJ2wh
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.935Please respect copyright.PENANAAdVrggo2cl
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAEWuQK4JCZn
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.935Please respect copyright.PENANAE4X88BiMQU
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.935Please respect copyright.PENANAfXdYlJbMlQ
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAMREgQLSpbq
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."935Please respect copyright.PENANATSWedhLDEM
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAryKnng9hhj
By the way G-Dragon 935Please respect copyright.PENANAugBaRTKqhw
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 935Please respect copyright.PENANAENZzengNlt
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And935Please respect copyright.PENANAkj02y0uLPb
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of935Please respect copyright.PENANAhHw1hbs8fw
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.935Please respect copyright.PENANABJ15RJwfZz
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."935Please respect copyright.PENANAZLMiwFxA3C
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"935Please respect copyright.PENANAASfSyC9m82
"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."935Please respect copyright.PENANAE7yfc28wXI
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.935Please respect copyright.PENANAwbPJ1fWmiK
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAo9cH47inJi
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.935Please respect copyright.PENANAlL6MkFR85O
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."935Please respect copyright.PENANAlyjXjHLbIv
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."935Please respect copyright.PENANAkuSj3wRUg5
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."935Please respect copyright.PENANA0EAkCtXSqC
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."935Please respect copyright.PENANAFEV5KTQc2h
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."935Please respect copyright.PENANALAdC6Ul6yZ
"What truth?" I asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANA5uqLKtnhVD
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."935Please respect copyright.PENANAhVbYJ6sb2P
Taeyang was right. I was935Please respect copyright.PENANAk3wBxW3VPu
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 935Please respect copyright.PENANAvfZEtZjDeR
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 935Please respect copyright.PENANAbgKWSjrLvk
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 935Please respect copyright.PENANAgADNhfYonK
attention.935Please respect copyright.PENANAK6ItPkxL1O
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."935Please respect copyright.PENANAea8NFMsSVJ
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."935Please respect copyright.PENANACaG3QmEDJx
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel935Please respect copyright.PENANAm47Rk5STuF
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 935Please respect copyright.PENANAxfGkHkM6nA
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!935Please respect copyright.PENANAOQOzJx73Gv
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.935Please respect copyright.PENANAvxk39zHtGe
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.935Please respect copyright.PENANAtrClKkctIg
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.935Please respect copyright.PENANA7xuKFdEJC1
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.935Please respect copyright.PENANAeswptobycM
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.935Please respect copyright.PENANAojSnkNyYjw
"But I....." 935Please respect copyright.PENANAD8kd4o3u6e
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 935Please respect copyright.PENANApyMtOudQvy
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've935Please respect copyright.PENANAQln0Irvzjh
talked way too much, don't you think?"935Please respect copyright.PENANABDyy017oif
That felt like a slap in935Please respect copyright.PENANAhSHrrKrzwz
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 935Please respect copyright.PENANAZluTak9Uen
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 935Please respect copyright.PENANAXpBByj3oAM
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 935Please respect copyright.PENANABxAQht5VDS
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 935Please respect copyright.PENANAxWmtbuUOlt
about what I thought was best for the whole group?935Please respect copyright.PENANABU7ZF8o0up
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.935Please respect copyright.PENANAYTMsQCdxoZ
"That's fine with me," said Mike.935Please respect copyright.PENANAwHgZRfpZ72
Everyone else agreed, 935Please respect copyright.PENANAzd9RV4cTij
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 935Please respect copyright.PENANAwxBLE29BNE
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 935Please respect copyright.PENANABrqqEA2rl3
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 935Please respect copyright.PENANAUSJXuHiuOv
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 935Please respect copyright.PENANAl54gLQ4XM2
B, just in case.935Please respect copyright.PENANAAZYVvMJw1j
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.935Please respect copyright.PENANAKZH9635WXg
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.935Please respect copyright.PENANAx42rejFDZ6
"Not now, Sam. We will 935Please respect copyright.PENANAA6DWKnPFQS
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 935Please respect copyright.PENANAmyJxkat7OW
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 935Please respect copyright.PENANA0RKUqmWQR3
gave me goosebumps.935Please respect copyright.PENANApdzroqmNEK
"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."935Please respect copyright.PENANAqyAZavlzFR
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 935Please respect copyright.PENANAC94ncuqh2F
One by one everyone 935Please respect copyright.PENANANDjYdS2Vrn
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 935Please respect copyright.PENANAU5ZDV66QQ3
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem935Please respect copyright.PENANAf9NzQPg9aE
appropriate.935Please respect copyright.PENANA49vn2q6uVg
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.935Please respect copyright.PENANAChOaGlhYjm
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.935Please respect copyright.PENANAt0uI6xZECY
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.935Please respect copyright.PENANABnhdTKKLgm
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.935Please respect copyright.PENANAFTCZbBEGmQ
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."935Please respect copyright.PENANA3Lo3foHVFw
"It's not that. I pissed935Please respect copyright.PENANATj9yFh7oFU
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take935Please respect copyright.PENANAEs3w3IBlwz
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."935Please respect copyright.PENANAK80YJOwOSN
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."935Please respect copyright.PENANANAILMofbCP
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."935Please respect copyright.PENANAoraFYF9xJ6
Taeyang placed his hand 935Please respect copyright.PENANAFaErOPpPuW
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He935Please respect copyright.PENANAMnwZnX7kP2
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.935Please respect copyright.PENANAFu5ht6fTRj
I knew I had to hope for935Please respect copyright.PENANAu2VhkNtIgM
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut935Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5IAvR4y80
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 935Please respect copyright.PENANAucLcqsj066
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 935Please respect copyright.PENANAHpB7woYKEA
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 935Please respect copyright.PENANAtV05269k5P
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
