The water felt like a 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcJi9Iv5sU
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JFTgC9KSZ
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCGmE68aRv
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7UdhdNbNC
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiTZUprqte
breathe. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4ARfv4Vbk
I pushed myself upwards 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOJv2yZu6X
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFawsp9TTP0
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZeDIirqzC
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40oyYDpKvQ
edge.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrtLQumwBA
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiW4VIxeay
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZsITJLJSn
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLuqzwf4YZ
I looked ridiculously 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmhhgj77mc
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE6XdJarBU
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n6R5Fbyor
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHorrdgl8j
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjivFm2Kae
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUI88leAtz
I looked around me and 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo5YrNWlMO
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kPGOyh2ft
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmi8BBHdiJ
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCOuSCVrQN
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32cptSDBRE
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAAOwohGp7
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF5hx4ibXD
I heard Zoey and the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyPcK6p80R
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFrcVqD3yU
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHbu1WyhI1
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0mZwgPXEy
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ9KaV86dU
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP83htioV1
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcBhkRTgtV
"I already told you, I'm940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SqhGQ9UTg
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7fImL5zYm
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK4oRnBlAv
from anyone.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1hBuj3yrv
I made my way towards GD940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Ib003E10
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjbKlenqZ5
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfK27rjkPa
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mqd7BPlAv
"Oh, man, Sam," said 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mA0KC9wSm
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWkYCXVpWG
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlngm6nTMma
game. Hope you didn't mind."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5YwtAmqnO
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdl8l7DVP7
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4iFmMMBoC
"I told you, our 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkSHtgyawc
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lXG9fA2B5
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ABJaDV7sH
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQGLotp1HL
Daesung.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxQrXfD3PL
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VkJ7jlX7r
I dialled Lee's number 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9HC9C80OW
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwtVyQcOYU
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4JSNCBa13
They would know soon enough.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU42HpRKKAW
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKg3D7xGpY
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe32J5UVSOC
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrpZrDOUlH
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11WX8qGaws
"No, not yet. But you 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgmci7bZk6
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5aCynvtOo
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOE0I47sg9
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrVtYkChFz
"Okay, I'll be waiting."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXZmfujMzy
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mWSMuYECS
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz8qU44M9G
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7tBJWJvDc
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbNrAxWM3h
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2gRefIb4b
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHvtA3NTn7
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0gnGZrqsD
I shook my head. I was 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNq3Ok1Hkt
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hfpLPrycB
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleCIa8LS8r
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27x4ZEw3sS
After walking a few feet940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndUNuB7oJR
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssJcNQso7u
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fADFI27C5
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF08I14Hv9Q
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLgUtm0QiW
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9zQV3tPxR
None of them answered as940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ354cen8BCA
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghK6hp7eK6
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSMTYbHLLs
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72BmOXvztt
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWn0JwbZ1T
"I wasn't going to say 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSj8Mrs3Kp
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLZ2bzGxsU
you would want to hear from me is advice."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGXXs7PYb8
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehNF3CvUzf
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx3MySYaIS
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAOmizchbe
"I'm still upset, though."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihAadNSFZC
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jrlECcHwD
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1mf7XXeip
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GwKnYbasL
I gave TOP an assuring 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdwqnZMgQc
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2XvfB9MfG
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjHNxX3eij
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhSBStmU5Y
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWwyoNXwz2
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjBQObv7zc
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41iwiZtqAw
We all found ourselves 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8d5tZKo2I
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZowoTHlKS
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY2kmkXVkv
were waiting for me. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3f8eSvGPV
"Hey, Sam, you don't 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8rJ1AiiQV
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPR6BYtR1W
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmVN3Yl4q5
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfMMxDYlob
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLUoJF3eUT
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM84Khuvnm
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6fboaDAvk
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kgKDG3e76
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAeRUEVrSL
I had my eyes closed 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYNW40q90s
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlqqnHgtro
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzIl07gSlH
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlySQHDzdIO
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9B5kYqvIe
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBmwwpUrkn
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv3n3cpvDs
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEjYkECScD
Taeyang led me to his 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY0YWjs5Mi
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdMulxCndv
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oss4l03Z8
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0vB7xNsOM
In about thirty minutes,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcDCrAQZro
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5zVebqAPQ
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gzjGfZ3Fv
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoX25cOpkL
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z4eyDQGnx
appeared out of the elevator.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGfYbeKUwM
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38SPDlyJII
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyENPmQAm1f
Lee who stood behind 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdigycHgIPL
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckBY5iuhvm
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgwMvcMMzh
other things in mind.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WIEIGWkZ9
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yEeoqfzox
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux8KvBvrYF
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jf9zsk5Cb
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtsWVdjDJL
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxDfCssrIB
"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."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznURkSPkf0
There was an awkward 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy5BRktPAo
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv0MM4K3YJ
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryNzWcjIEV
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZWK0PZrCo
"Well, I hear the press 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOUiRlQMEQ
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLbasDJKDK
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXSXQUoeH3
"That won't be 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY3JA6jnUt
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67OYdzVKJu
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwStcDrcS8
go to the press looking all wet."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOk0BrgrW4
I breathed out a sigh of940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuESFjUTRs
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheflQfMEjl
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXQpOynToX
"In the meantime, you go940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5PFz6On0H
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT40Th7yHI0
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS8LVtCWBn
I nodded my head in 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9DpPJZ4ER
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsQa6jOoA4
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvEJndKxs8
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7KGGA1BYp
"Alright," I said 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPbGmesbNa
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScYscLgIwt
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn1vzGPTjv
I was only making things worse.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMXkKGOrsR
Before I turned to leave940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGeezq6ywP
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEHwLvy6bx
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpCaHtK5oG
one.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFbbf0r23M
***940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fBpKXNwD3
I sat on the couch all 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1PNKzBfeL
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4rdM1D5qb
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yfJ0ELpJJ
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU0U1zNuu4
I had a box of paper 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtT5kwu0hu
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UtATY80Gv
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Pwy34NKI
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1CrNTynUV
I continued watching the940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGglsbUZfo
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxN5laGILm
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGWOopgjx7
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT51nVCBNg
"Never better," I said, 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgWBqrWvaE
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShWHwE7Tim
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO18a6q2jhV
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWxHkmOuZO
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkjUR2EGmr
"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.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY4F097VeI
"And the others?" 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvTYACgmqL
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYVE68wWVg
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjc0dBptZI
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtYNPbGAYi
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCED8xnJ3rm
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm7eCAmuBi
"You don't know or you are?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tWv8UvOQX
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.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pkoubnvWW
"I don't know, Tae," I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xg8zZ7Qqj
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGAabV1sOo
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBlc8Dy1Be
forget all that happened yesterday."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JrjzB2VXi
"Ya, I understand. They 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpzVXJYtuZ
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h4jp83EYe
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgQ1IrJvx5
going to get."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu1rUc2psf
I looked on at Taeyang 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2rU10RN0W
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3taYT6Uwz
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZynZQi13Y
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWS3PAc0Ce
who was as tough as nails.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwwZGSh38k
Last night, I took the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mpilkSxVr
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpARpJDDCaM
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgUeM2ykAX
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHjBlLqiMY
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdZkf4VMOY
Apparently, the managers940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFZa33fejc
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv59jxdM2Jz
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlji7dEFIMt
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB0ZCBjQNv
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsORJkBNny
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17dYpA7pST
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVcj64lCHb
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iQrIZ2qWr
and the reporters.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPlMIw1diL
After my confrontation 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKllBWRzIl
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCA8qRgz2P
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDG6Ey2JGS
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzekQRlC1I
"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."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxm9fVnLis
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1cgqJLy9j
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4KXIM8GTa
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h1twfC7d4
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gmAngUP1g
"Have you tried talking to GD?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO9MQdaUVl
"To be honest, I haven't940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs023gIPsiq
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVktfxiWobX
slap him in the face if I see him."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rWaUVPXtY
"I don't doubt that."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTK8zlGHXZ
"And thank goodness my 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5gGPKw8Ms
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZze6LMWZ3
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvpoFD27Vg
want to do is watch some TV."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8GGy9fhdr
I quickly drank my 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTFoyHdZMM
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3tGqrRaPZ
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqEwTEZD1l
to.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAFP13mw76
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFlsUOJlx8
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsek0CdBDaM
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6v0lAn4jM
"Nope."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h0GbY1cI7
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEWZjuG77H
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbovU41Tdt
Taeyang didn't say 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ8eEpYGVN
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphdGDV5UZp
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a0a0O2Q4z
"I know you fought or 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEokuY5tsUg
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PCQg3xYBh
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHoqqh74va
I noticed Taeyang smile 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxKtx01WPQ
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLx3gkBZmo
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dW6OhagnV
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi3WRRW6JO
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnHFrvDF0I
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5JXKZVPnT
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFVWiCWy3Q
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYmboeesfT
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84doDLAUlU
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBpeuWwR1U
Before I could finish my940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwFQJD10Zg
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXDUJaFq3Q
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NFLUulfF8
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLt6RZf2NA
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpJKoEVCXO
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L6PcWp7bD
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYizJOdC2h
"Yep, cheers to that." 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJqqYiAbjy
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4XJo7hpMR
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhewp2WUGlR
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5K2wYvQ0B
"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."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSVbURYr8z
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgOaE16wiI
"Wow, that sounds personal."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4hHRLSpzo
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl9w15PU9d
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyDqWPTkSy
"I think I've a better 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyltJRCSj2
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvbIQqxS0K
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0hdhqpDQM
lyrics. It's better that way."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamdksBBQPx
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vi3LNmHBw
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3Vfro3LSr
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiPVWoGvdo
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJV2PJtWfk
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0bV7RzekC
"Haha, good point."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4FYn5fZAh
Taeyang and I continued 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7otlhXi6E
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeqjmDHtad
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHunM0H7zn0
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi8eZ8dVTr
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aQeWWsdeV
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43f9WAfu2O
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDqHk8S7Oy
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaONG2Xc1kM
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLlsRcrRaX
While the two of us were940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8pk4nEbep
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDaDd3fqhY
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3fIL7ja63
I quickly went over to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SMyNQYgg7
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcb4hvpcNl
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOkiJ9hVTD
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyBDzj5rWy
come up and I put the receiver down.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2oL9oucZe
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Xx5QKILc
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfsAkCH5JN
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy9z5Vl8YV
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VlEwRzwV5
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEjJTftkgr
"Eww, that pillow 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqqwiJuPEk
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCg7FbKpPG
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbK71GAkOv
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp7iPHxlV2
A few seconds later, we 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx5NYhVOsK
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1I3k2Kz2W
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEibbKnU59L
holding a box of chocolates.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1yZEzVNqk
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD16yyHJ0oa
"Ah, no, the panda is a 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXBA3Cdg3E
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuvTZ8TJwf
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ngPLIZa2
same time.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAHzIUuIca
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oEX4XzUoT
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO9hUJifkx
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8knRUSi5H
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGk8SKNt6V
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWthz1Yv2u7
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ69iYOxwba
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNesnVBiGf
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84q8xpg1ns
"For goodness sake, I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcwnlnOatm
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XEK4tEuGU
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKg4Kx9whw
scared with me."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIzVwcXIgY
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku1Ej9nMf8
I took the panda in my 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Kh6NTumP
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDKvknhPd1
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIjQVuLcrS
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTTxb5etl5
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkDmH7YbiO
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJLwCaiWTM
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m0tNhnto1
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSm2k73KEK
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXX4x0LENx
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gkuNE36NZ
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGto1n5X82
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKy427w09H
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAtuToP3yB
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPUdaD9KWP
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5daXy1uMZf
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UPmSTg89o
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktZjB1rRZe
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobV2lhYak4
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRHaAWUXRy
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aFNpTRZvS
"Ya, I do."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJnO1BDlFO
While the four of us 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXZIXKRLIY
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKAB3oyKHS
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ5XBPPgmG
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q2ijTRYIG
said:940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABDGpGAqow
"Hey, Zoey." 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWmJEya0Z4
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcwnBmnfU8
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvLSy3tbJ2
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHs3AZKkDl
"It's good you came to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdVBeF6puG
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRMRCZnNXG
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq7m6ME24n
couch.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48HW1VM5Yc
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQlYo4Xt43
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mKLS88zgX
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpebNAl2iP
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXnE4jRsO2
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4j7XNx0eP
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QfTzBtnND
I tugged at my panda's 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYqCiCte0b
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLbNQf2Xu4
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pDcOcbAWI
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK6rlnKfrv
The Toxins came back to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV0ViBqvOR
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhcl5Q7fNz
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpHiYNz9BZ
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVGOLZewUg
For a moment, no one 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl272OqKC6b
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM5a3qgI7s
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr72RyemgSE
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHT3cE20pd
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXKuhwHxOs
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5ITWs4YU5
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPtVUGtK0o
I stared up at the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3MXVpssD2
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fa4UYk4ww
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VlglwFjSc
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47ugWbreAb
When Zoey tried to reach940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3SHyMRpmV
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSABDwG3CFu
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRtXqd5KER
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XZv5LnAUT
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5fhr8uhdE
Zoey looked hurt with 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM5XKVVaVI
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Js90AufC
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1jnaHr2zR
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV2qZZ4lWU
I didn't answer as I put940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50F7lXFZGp
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFOB4ntwZn
was still mad, especially at Zoey.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmNQVB65gR
"I know it's a little 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMHyaCn0XI
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDvN3j345c
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ3OJRxdCq
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsHpgL22Eg
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEd8IZ0fyV
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVIBesh40m
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs4RclT8Ef
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPAUrgwRid
"I don't like it when 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchtw0XQaKj
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxAXQ0lGIf
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT3Z9D4ukF
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4AVMkYHCP
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN2KJbvtK3
sorry, Sam."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyBhsUn1Re
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRj7NYowwD
"I'm sorry too," said 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3mvdthXn9
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDsSCohMS4
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTMeOSdgIM
for you to talk to us again."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolnf0tmgAJ
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4MuL6YjPV
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy96cLdCxk0
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUzBWOKYUk
leader."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOnqqhfWmG
I still didn't say a 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpDgdvSPyu
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihvSSzbatF
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s86WWCI1B
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YtUOuDKna
them despite the awful things they put me through.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XIiqQARQc
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c4pQ8imLi
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUKbodtHzJ
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iLmSQND4a
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOis5DJ8l1P
"I'm mad and pretty much940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ455bhn0U7w
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFxpdKuPgY
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyi0umCGgl
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy8OcQ4S7I
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIcWQSyxOv
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthURZ77sTb
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UMT18sJwu
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C52R0bjTw
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJR7Lo8aDV
"Ah, you! Always acting 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32AUPtZliL
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJqXCfSxx1
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT5wJRRqOf
catch it anyway."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cOG1km7hw
Christine, Daniel and 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D7azVym2s
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhNwtpNdGL
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttYWO3B1Dk
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkzwq7yYmN
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqSRkQWki1
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmYKYjIZwR
"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...."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoulf5U5Tv
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8vK9zTDmi
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DbC2RODYD
"Don't worry, you won't 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7fBYrWeba
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ag4EcQwr
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrdIIxsjaH
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNKJrtk9Pk
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqeo7ZJpyZ
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeO8qm9x4p
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFgRuI7hXD
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZJpWaAZEL
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFFz3eNouC
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8N4p3ZJDF
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRaceyf3aA
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwnfIrIXUi
At that moment, I had 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTfsOSg9F2
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszQUQhxsHp
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1SmBdAdAW
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFCkttAjdU
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39R4uABzGf
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5netvP4r5R
Zoey got the box of 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfZiCK3LMs
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmMKcpsH1k
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyuYyiGGSV
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawaWc8rdPD
I was in the passage as I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBFS4qEvay
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaJGFYXCGi
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJhJOJIPjL
in what felt like sadness.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UkQkKW8ma
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MKe9KNHUL
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOExRYL2IcM
I heard his footsteps 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8o9MMjj7N
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJK2KlGsxx
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmCYHPDdrU
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd4lY8X2OX
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTvIkIzQQL
"Are we really do this right now?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL1GiYEktX
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqVlSVwaFl
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40QbXGxjPU
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Z6hd97ET
"Nope." 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdWfXv1I3Y
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBCqyw2Ly6
My eyes almost felt like940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZdRT2jxjL
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E6UlKspTe
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPKt9uqwUX
I turned to look at him 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimICOS2Z6m
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89H9qGP07y
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykg3e8KR3m
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodgZH7mZRt
"That you're surrounded 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMDCckpso1
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPkP49uAAl
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX43RU1AsGA
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTIPPEKTGt
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8vpaKtx39
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ubKFx7NL
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt8Mis9B9t
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9lydjgZ6V
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcPhYH2ddg
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNge4bO5x5O
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6ZWXGTfTr
Apparently, I couldn't 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOiIF8DUnI
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfG0p5EzpD
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSACwNQLvqD
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWpSue834Q
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKHGFYH1iQ
death.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvDFlezQg9
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV9GUrhJpv
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ087bVSeH
Taeyang folded his arms 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIdZpibMzu
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfsIlhtrKJ
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qStApzEpm
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl565KqqceK
"You're may think you're940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAkWjJVGPK
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22umhAyQq1
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7KHy8I3B6
but feeling hurt."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAGUYWhgwq
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nwliKiwjD
"But I wouldn't feel 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuh4xL3yz8
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0rdCdbA5x
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VYI1zhU7X
at Taeyang.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsEI7qzy42
Taeyang gave me that 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk1zZlfpb4
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tl7x1XZ9B
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMa6Ez1VPK
while in return, he nodded.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6hmCFm1kX
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuYQfzNbee
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNun6JuXEXr
I didn't say a word as I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1hkLKHT4h
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq1HXt4uBa
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvokG2wfmDM
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkgFW7xzLv
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHvCSF6y81
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze3Ie4Adr8
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm5uJTdk5p
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR27AVlC9a
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeY9irOJNK
If there was ever a way I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPaYmPXxoq
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPYw3zA7gd
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqVmEWiJVI
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUzMGQGsmX
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumbEzdZrjx
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4ZzOA4pPB
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.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ007txnKlua
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTnBqyHfZv
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IqbudWSoK
"Well, I'm just asking,"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOkNbPUzyV
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH9wkFBBTi
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yOOpqnm4C
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0USoEBGltL
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pu4EMAi1R
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExJPMMtOq3
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sqIwt00MT
I pressed the button 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpyXK1KbNC
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkcgjg9Qtf
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZoxpeU4SG
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxFUPjzYJa
We went to the main 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4PjlyEBz3
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12i1oRwYSV
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF1EKzIl5l
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxytesh50Fu
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzTSIQYUNk
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLINyBR5H4
"To be honest, we just 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1aLDo7fC8
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkLltOQbuj
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs26RbaUUiK
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pLToUtg2y
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjBjfWKDDR
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.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5zPW3SxbD
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSlLz8rsDW
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOfkSDAQTM
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrVeIaKXoT
"Nah, I don't think so,"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EY2kKxKj9
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiwV6a4vxS
he would be treating me like that."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3x79iv0mF
"Mmm, I don't think so,"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziXhItF4xz
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1eAMkCWOf
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VvWk9arXG
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQfBLfMcDF
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErZh2YmAT1
"Then, stop trying to make one."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwzDo5EepV
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafXPeMA9VL
"Ya, me too," said Mike.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY47VcUNQG
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinVxyIdNQG
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2zaeP5jRX
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpytfcmXDzU
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXsydPdU1I
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7qlQab5jS
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XY24D2c8M
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sp1U8JMQx
I didn't even dare try 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KRwiemLL4
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OXYiKVV0m
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPHfhE0MRw
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIGVfTcucU
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJUoDecqt
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRefTnE37C
I heard footsteps coming940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MWYc18tPH
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl9b0Ef9Rw
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzs9tuj3mr
look at me.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz0pyfmLHc
"Are you okay?" he whispered.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusRb1zlS2k
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorm5DZZzdJ
I soon felt strong hands940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ewfGSyvgC
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUihryw77Xx
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE38meeIcTc
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkRjSqc5DM
"I'm a whole lot better,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ8iwH6YYr
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLexFC4SYbM
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdy2mya1FQ
"Glad to hear that."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXz5JKk66h
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.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoLuST8xMR
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD97RFj68d
I was planning not to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zvYrb0Hrw
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiPBdqG9Zg
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMnI63fRCH
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm1u28CEgj
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55lQU1KxoL
under the bridge.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVi1U9hUX8
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ3azZ3Ogw
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3lCyoR575
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqZENj1Bcw
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyyMJNjQVX
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt7N9OOixf
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wWbGOCXzv
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxzMMO22xv
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXGPSb7Leh
The waiters soon came 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeShduiAiKQ
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLulUWI6yK
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7iJmk2DUV
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Aolnf82e
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzL4Vmg5gv
For a moment, I felt 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQEiNtSee9
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo0asoccea
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauOxlzNNoj
me to forget that I was ever mad.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PZFrOGKNa
"Mmm, this is so 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxPeQg1s9Z
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ky5ssp5y
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iZslrT0Xo
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlqjZJtk1z
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqXC7t67Uf
"Anything for you, Sam,"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3SEMlTSTE
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVb1EP9D6T
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVSA3WoufX
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKssvulYZk
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs13PM7qqyA
I had just taken in some940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxvHYq0v3x
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD7Qot2vqF
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3CAnY6iUA
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwolfdvsGxQ
just said.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjfs0vKE4p
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVpRWs5pWv
"Well, ya," Christine 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0ZGRZ1FCX
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG3iTISiwM
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuIObAuE8U
special lunch to lighten your mood."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzfoUIJwjC
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZBxn2NGmU
"Thanks for the lunch, 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSPVp4omGi
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh25rHu7ztk
sweet of you to have come up with this."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb2i9gEF82
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeDi9WGRqi
I almost felt like 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnuFclBkkf
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOOJ5fhbo6
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhWvW6VcBO
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qt0DROk1D
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpJ1FyBGZj
turning into rage?940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt2SsBaIt0
Oh, goodness. I needed 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRISJBajRoV
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA0orDqOB3
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDfYUIaTlH
I tried to push aside 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9lbZ6yWd0
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdHBtBA50B
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hMzCg8ZOd
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJy4EsFt4t
chocolate moussé.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqHAXPWazi
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa0jKPVTSj
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtMN8DlUcr
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzk9hbJoZy
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfJll39fSh
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgfNdGst1N
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmfvghuELN
I didn't wait for 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqLjh8hgPR
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00nio8LDgz
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOqUxqI4zG
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncPvO9EjEs
heaven.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjUcLLcozS
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SCKsgeBuG
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWgppSS7dM
"I don't care," I said 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67moWMAnUl
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0paIAly6hd
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7oRp1QUb2
G-Dragon smiled back at 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1gtGgCvS2
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNky0dvhBQG
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vIoeR2fpp
away.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvOHGjBOnV
After dessert, we all 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KqEKQxkVe
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPRrmwfHL3
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8ZOdD6DlZ
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kC7lzyByL
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQJVleXjqN
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyCA5DzXyi
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqcdgAtSiN
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK69UkPuHuF
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcxl0yBS4h
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTfriQbeUe
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPJwKwRBqQ
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUheyGw1KW
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz81sH00Hq
"What stuff?" TOP asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN315sOW4X
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTNVMMomXV
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vIoCosutY
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5zpprWm9L
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9KnzWv5G2
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cVppRJNTD
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx8UZJhDDt
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MvA6OwH6u
"Wait, what's going on?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9lDHwMOkR
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbLBg1pl5U
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWwVl3VICR
"I thought we should all940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujgPrtXosH
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal0bvjeX8E
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MuIW19Unp
"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.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5A4bLXQrC
"I don't know, I feel we940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkVdoiKwnT
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5FyFNX1Lk
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1qbeMRO0P
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvhAROHPv3
"I don't get it though,"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhflR5hMvY
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGqXD2CGNn
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi4a18cZJN
the lyrics?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIUf3lYumn
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS6eJbzuHL
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvvUF4C1q0
This time, I also raised940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjlFUfKy4n
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSxyDXJexN
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAI4xnd3fq
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJBGDEqboC
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2VGeruqd8
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAumj3nf0N9
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jymZA8z9Z
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4tIi7jpyh
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq2m51b7UU
By the way G-Dragon 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4tBEfDYE6
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtVTHNL1zt
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb96ApWzliT
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf8KmnWDiM
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunXW7c4cEx
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVXHT13MYI
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XrwvemhUZ
"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."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbyBVNbDj2
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPpmNytLVm
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvpenroYfZ
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhCo3IBDN7
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi69tNhG75Y
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8IRvvueWi
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UPqGIbYF5
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhBd2mts1x
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXsnM2hEjG
"What truth?" I asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVCSucuvIH
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4OWwSWlwH
Taeyang was right. I was940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtu4NSbsz8
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDZJQWvCpW
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSCd9hR9hf
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4MoCLeuqB
attention.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak9xArjE4h
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHesgTEp5wm
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVLr7MTQk9
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ARhJXBxL
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2JcIpWPjk
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOotNkBAOrh
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLNAL20Zug
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa01zRSCBV
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUbw0s9MNc
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FnS3xnOmc
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMabLOJYNV
"But I....." 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmwYWQXgYi
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6WIZwp8Bm
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagiUXYiqzc
talked way too much, don't you think?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGKGViIgLs
That felt like a slap in940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD489aLq1Q
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq5VbeyBKl
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovB8TbUE2p
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKaIv45HJ4
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4qYwDZnqE
about what I thought was best for the whole group?940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43WslZXzg1
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNaEHQNqCn
"That's fine with me," said Mike.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7ZG4kKKmL
Everyone else agreed, 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKaXwQRwOP
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pi47tmFPQ
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQh6saMle8
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfCqIb5zTm
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUPGFIcejV
B, just in case.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGecz4lWw0
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjJvpB5hVt
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w3lFVPTyB
"Not now, Sam. We will 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRoJrW4xMI
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd6ldVMldS
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCtjC74DFz
gave me goosebumps.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTAaVNjvK2
"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."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkTjqEgLDI
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bR1iCLQHQ
One by one everyone 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuj0SCvad0
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKxqoUEAw9
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgGMb4a1Xg
appropriate.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl4bGB6Qo6
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtLyzZhPvS
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG5rfRU2SW
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5yiZAw6Bc
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fqn8kMJeC
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZE2KP48ce
"It's not that. I pissed940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYjPs5l8HW
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61uZKMHVqT
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIHDDVAOKa
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgWSlM0G2O
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdJhG2dIGB
Taeyang placed his hand 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCxKyXmuO3
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s5r3e2u0G
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDaIvcmfLm
I knew I had to hope for940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPRuhRDkdL
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT3Vbsm4rP
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4uUlltbiq
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpeddBzgCz
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL7QfbxUdK
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
