The water felt like a 876Please respect copyright.PENANAxZyLmwAqVo
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 876Please respect copyright.PENANAcNZbBUp3tS
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 876Please respect copyright.PENANArro7BoA18a
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 876Please respect copyright.PENANAsMpvz5JtrX
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 876Please respect copyright.PENANAejGbpYmBDM
breathe. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAQARtSXibfQ
I pushed myself upwards 876Please respect copyright.PENANAZOrHaIZZCR
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of876Please respect copyright.PENANAQcYFCoewYu
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 876Please respect copyright.PENANAoqUhyzDUxh
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAp2e68GefbJ
edge.876Please respect copyright.PENANAGBfAeUhtHZ
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.876Please respect copyright.PENANAKhbHKhBu5L
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.876Please respect copyright.PENANAsN9e8idpVp
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.876Please respect copyright.PENANArNpogONdCi
I looked ridiculously 876Please respect copyright.PENANApAF0tN8WLG
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 876Please respect copyright.PENANAyXyulGj1Ck
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 876Please respect copyright.PENANAkOjnuIBxo4
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 876Please respect copyright.PENANAqhsvFwuEa9
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 876Please respect copyright.PENANAZJAoIuQxrR
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.876Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jp6MY7dZT
I looked around me and 876Please respect copyright.PENANAMN9xqc1i4a
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAPSo3zdRyV0
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 876Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dnf1eX848
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 876Please respect copyright.PENANAuqonblau4n
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.876Please respect copyright.PENANAzfV2YrKunH
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."876Please respect copyright.PENANALr5beYRlIJ
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."876Please respect copyright.PENANAYrnVuRxb5D
I heard Zoey and the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAEKBlNNkCOn
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on876Please respect copyright.PENANA0DtgFXelcG
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.876Please respect copyright.PENANAex09hVotMh
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAHy6hq0sEEH
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's876Please respect copyright.PENANAgaPiGepuLU
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 876Please respect copyright.PENANAIqho2QySwh
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."876Please respect copyright.PENANAjmHYDYq9dm
"I already told you, I'm876Please respect copyright.PENANAatOZCnC7Un
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I876Please respect copyright.PENANAjL3XspAs6X
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 876Please respect copyright.PENANAiJwmRvqVD6
from anyone.876Please respect copyright.PENANAkpvYecLtki
I made my way towards GD876Please respect copyright.PENANAeglNZY4rHv
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what876Please respect copyright.PENANAmCo0nRwBDd
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 876Please respect copyright.PENANAxCEr9mrMBv
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.876Please respect copyright.PENANAOKvpNBTOlO
"Oh, man, Sam," said 876Please respect copyright.PENANAXbbJHFMaX0
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 876Please respect copyright.PENANACqdvuYcb2j
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 876Please respect copyright.PENANA0fnMEFIuKn
game. Hope you didn't mind."876Please respect copyright.PENANAatv8JCzIKL
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."876Please respect copyright.PENANA2RhGAYp28O
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."876Please respect copyright.PENANAkQJTYw6nPC
"I told you, our 876Please respect copyright.PENANACs6XyOyrBi
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 876Please respect copyright.PENANASR6UfjzvI0
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 876Please respect copyright.PENANAtHTR2LIqG9
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 876Please respect copyright.PENANA7PPSEEnAKV
Daesung.876Please respect copyright.PENANAlL1jLxifAh
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.876Please respect copyright.PENANAtbIdwnuHCn
I dialled Lee's number 876Please respect copyright.PENANAPn1i49ImoZ
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 876Please respect copyright.PENANACdZurcaB1e
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAvl4L7QbBlM
They would know soon enough.876Please respect copyright.PENANAUoFeijiBjM
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.876Please respect copyright.PENANAi4a6GEynQB
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.876Please respect copyright.PENANAwPdIXBgiIC
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAbYgyxQUhyN
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAl9ylrPNOAa
"No, not yet. But you 876Please respect copyright.PENANAHEU5G9mDIH
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And876Please respect copyright.PENANAe1FcOVYKnL
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."876Please respect copyright.PENANAT6yM8ZQGmh
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."876Please respect copyright.PENANAo3ZjILbvQb
"Okay, I'll be waiting."876Please respect copyright.PENANAVtzqCSrFlt
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.876Please respect copyright.PENANAKNeZ1bWzSw
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAtTrZeK7RSi
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."876Please respect copyright.PENANAY3mLTgsnnA
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 876Please respect copyright.PENANA2rnFtxgEON
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."876Please respect copyright.PENANATzJ4OvZljD
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.876Please respect copyright.PENANAhlAiwLkUy5
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."876Please respect copyright.PENANAzl33ObE7qU
I shook my head. I was 876Please respect copyright.PENANA9qLERAulei
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 876Please respect copyright.PENANARZkEToxxTN
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 876Please respect copyright.PENANAwpsmImP8n6
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.876Please respect copyright.PENANAfCr9rGFrjQ
After walking a few feet876Please respect copyright.PENANAPFoxXCZ8o9
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 876Please respect copyright.PENANAxxUNVYXgiC
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was876Please respect copyright.PENANArg8brPpMNI
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 876Please respect copyright.PENANAk325VCDfGk
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.876Please respect copyright.PENANAw4rCgWt58Q
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAj1oB7l8Bzk
None of them answered as876Please respect copyright.PENANAiVKEiH6FWa
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAyyW5lGxx6W
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 876Please respect copyright.PENANAIMMG5nmQZS
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.876Please respect copyright.PENANAeU3obNvJvl
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.876Please respect copyright.PENANAYWlr6m29wT
"I wasn't going to say 876Please respect copyright.PENANAJhjKQg8auI
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing876Please respect copyright.PENANAzKWz3OpvJe
you would want to hear from me is advice."876Please respect copyright.PENANAE5MFJEgejk
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 876Please respect copyright.PENANA1o6n2upKnF
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.876Please respect copyright.PENANAT5oXgj4KmZ
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."876Please respect copyright.PENANAeivg9nmu3n
"I'm still upset, though."876Please respect copyright.PENANAxB3iuyENWU
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."876Please respect copyright.PENANAo2TjiqUgCz
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."876Please respect copyright.PENANATjDeTVRPaN
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."876Please respect copyright.PENANAxIS9eJdeUQ
I gave TOP an assuring 876Please respect copyright.PENANALGXl2augjf
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way876Please respect copyright.PENANApqaWaevMUF
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAuc6kLFfSmB
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I876Please respect copyright.PENANA6UoNL2E07U
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't876Please respect copyright.PENANAd3MUpWIbm9
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 876Please respect copyright.PENANAmpNx80k69v
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.876Please respect copyright.PENANAxjOeBWiOBm
We all found ourselves 876Please respect copyright.PENANAsmgpoqcLW7
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins876Please respect copyright.PENANAoLwkTN7IhF
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 876Please respect copyright.PENANA1ku4RsXVc6
were waiting for me. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAC8RgYcB5Ea
"Hey, Sam, you don't 876Please respect copyright.PENANAqrTjjyZRtE
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 876Please respect copyright.PENANAxI3JzUW8kf
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.876Please respect copyright.PENANAb8UeuN7YIe
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."876Please respect copyright.PENANAlMS8ruz86W
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 876Please respect copyright.PENANAg75mEPjFaf
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAK09ioNOJ4Z
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch876Please respect copyright.PENANAbkioO5Nq6o
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAhOHWXps2Id
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.876Please respect copyright.PENANAGPOq2ZJbfP
I had my eyes closed 876Please respect copyright.PENANArKtJPY0ASt
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found876Please respect copyright.PENANASOP0rkXA6V
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.876Please respect copyright.PENANArxYGd7KhNl
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."876Please respect copyright.PENANAABbJmBXtFF
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.876Please respect copyright.PENANAkgDKbUzdPn
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."876Please respect copyright.PENANAqRuyEXlxq0
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."876Please respect copyright.PENANAuqZJtuWWA1
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."876Please respect copyright.PENANAJ34xEtfEDL
Taeyang led me to his 876Please respect copyright.PENANAUQPnje6LRk
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 876Please respect copyright.PENANADI0u5tZlxc
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 876Please respect copyright.PENANAZhQQjVt4gA
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.876Please respect copyright.PENANAKq0MHZV8ik
In about thirty minutes,876Please respect copyright.PENANAn4qPEfe9jw
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 876Please respect copyright.PENANAGlMscne8FF
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 876Please respect copyright.PENANAHAtH7mhI4a
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 876Please respect copyright.PENANA39m7BSurQd
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 876Please respect copyright.PENANA586hmV0HoZ
appeared out of the elevator.876Please respect copyright.PENANAGNN2m307zg
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAV7vpIHl8Mc
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.876Please respect copyright.PENANAglEoVtNNDE
Lee who stood behind 876Please respect copyright.PENANAo4DodtiIY1
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 876Please respect copyright.PENANA8OwuBINS8c
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 876Please respect copyright.PENANAvXvP0QWUG6
other things in mind.876Please respect copyright.PENANA8uhUVMnaAP
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"876Please respect copyright.PENANACm5ZUEmb5h
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 876Please respect copyright.PENANAuUT6X0Wbtb
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 876Please respect copyright.PENANArigCIemc79
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.876Please respect copyright.PENANAF2B93FwBlo
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8tDgJodvw
"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."876Please respect copyright.PENANALJ0XyZKMfG
There was an awkward 876Please respect copyright.PENANAmy7bLDEUHq
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,876Please respect copyright.PENANAKiCIFCZlAn
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.876Please respect copyright.PENANA5vNsbz72cj
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAQX7Lq69Pvy
"Well, I hear the press 876Please respect copyright.PENANAHlJc6j501I
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon876Please respect copyright.PENANAin81vdm640
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."876Please respect copyright.PENANAYekfJvH0aO
"That won't be 876Please respect copyright.PENANAYXoPBQMryo
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 876Please respect copyright.PENANAiHjeuJE3rE
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to876Please respect copyright.PENANAAmy2Q6SQyN
go to the press looking all wet."876Please respect copyright.PENANABZqViS69zp
I breathed out a sigh of876Please respect copyright.PENANACjUb4SGYAz
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 876Please respect copyright.PENANAkop6iYRWhO
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.876Please respect copyright.PENANAf5czI5uRfB
"In the meantime, you go876Please respect copyright.PENANA1yTHM0FDg3
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 876Please respect copyright.PENANADxMvrYQ2zp
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."876Please respect copyright.PENANAdaVHRwt4ka
I nodded my head in 876Please respect copyright.PENANABcCxQoowMK
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 876Please respect copyright.PENANAbxjr3C4ON1
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.876Please respect copyright.PENANASHtBrdjKEk
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.876Please respect copyright.PENANAhZhBGElLxt
"Alright," I said 876Please respect copyright.PENANAI0kiZDjrDU
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 876Please respect copyright.PENANAwgGXSfhkOA
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like876Please respect copyright.PENANAiVQ8UJ4Svy
I was only making things worse.876Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0KKdASeB2
Before I turned to leave876Please respect copyright.PENANAhtFM0ACDfS
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 876Please respect copyright.PENANARJWCUHc1JO
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 876Please respect copyright.PENANA3q2T2j6lna
one.876Please respect copyright.PENANAI0HdBWZOyp
***876Please respect copyright.PENANAKp3HLs5n6H
I sat on the couch all 876Please respect copyright.PENANAyghl2bqTf9
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued876Please respect copyright.PENANAaonjPEQMXq
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"876Please respect copyright.PENANA6vpMWZdEzj
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAm1fzmVxYXY
I had a box of paper 876Please respect copyright.PENANAtuNQZmm4UX
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my876Please respect copyright.PENANApuBEqNZ3IQ
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 876Please respect copyright.PENANArfSHtFzCFv
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.876Please respect copyright.PENANANkiAs3DgSj
I continued watching the876Please respect copyright.PENANAoEaChP1dLM
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 876Please respect copyright.PENANAfcwKjxvadq
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.876Please respect copyright.PENANAfU681GqAmg
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.876Please respect copyright.PENANAFotWETZ7vR
"Never better," I said, 876Please respect copyright.PENANABIkSJ9DBsT
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 876Please respect copyright.PENANAdPIwc3aycB
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."876Please respect copyright.PENANA6dfQAWuOTh
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.876Please respect copyright.PENANAp73cvaoy3u
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.876Please respect copyright.PENANAIE6f1AuYUH
"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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAqbhO125B4k
"And the others?" 876Please respect copyright.PENANAZlrq711HIO
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.876Please respect copyright.PENANAgBUmEMP9Mn
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.876Please respect copyright.PENANAHGt7C5iDQN
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANATsHbvghy3x
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.876Please respect copyright.PENANAeBnZOZD5an
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.876Please respect copyright.PENANACuauDNKN6y
"You don't know or you are?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAXwABn7tWEL
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.876Please respect copyright.PENANARbeRMCpTWc
"I don't know, Tae," I 876Please respect copyright.PENANAET2lafNnnF
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 876Please respect copyright.PENANAkZNcEpSFCc
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 876Please respect copyright.PENANAtHzam35cKz
forget all that happened yesterday."876Please respect copyright.PENANA3gXwTzFJe0
"Ya, I understand. They 876Please respect copyright.PENANAd9v26PSePv
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 876Please respect copyright.PENANAtWC8rbgCXC
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were876Please respect copyright.PENANAcMbshOOJuu
going to get."876Please respect copyright.PENANAgAjT43QMry
I looked on at Taeyang 876Please respect copyright.PENANATz4dZqojuv
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 876Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZiChsdLSU
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 876Please respect copyright.PENANAHMJo3WPfne
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 876Please respect copyright.PENANAhKSQhzyYnG
who was as tough as nails.876Please respect copyright.PENANA2nUaXIZJ6y
Last night, I took the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAowh06AeiuB
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 876Please respect copyright.PENANAZvGpErlm3r
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 876Please respect copyright.PENANA8QoM8sUmPW
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 876Please respect copyright.PENANASay2CHJ0tt
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAoCe1A4ttkC
Apparently, the managers876Please respect copyright.PENANABnQlRvbMHx
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 876Please respect copyright.PENANAW5RE1BWluJ
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought876Please respect copyright.PENANATkDcdvh9lJ
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 876Please respect copyright.PENANAe8z60lqHs1
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 876Please respect copyright.PENANAWJMOuk2I4U
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 876Please respect copyright.PENANAIRp6hRw1yb
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 876Please respect copyright.PENANAB3SCtzrcJ3
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 876Please respect copyright.PENANARrOqty5dFq
and the reporters.876Please respect copyright.PENANAaJeFIvlmDz
After my confrontation 876Please respect copyright.PENANAQmHxxjQFUq
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I876Please respect copyright.PENANADFBzdtzspI
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,876Please respect copyright.PENANA0zjSSYKnwC
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.876Please respect copyright.PENANAgeESht8sVe
"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."876Please respect copyright.PENANAxyBlyb9ipM
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.876Please respect copyright.PENANAqAj1HxW3Qz
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."876Please respect copyright.PENANAF1yEoTcxrP
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."876Please respect copyright.PENANAe0I10TPBOT
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."876Please respect copyright.PENANA5rNybm7ltF
"Have you tried talking to GD?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAeco1RzAOEt
"To be honest, I haven't876Please respect copyright.PENANANIU4EYkodA
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 876Please respect copyright.PENANAIF4fW2rc7e
slap him in the face if I see him."876Please respect copyright.PENANAbIRmpGxYUM
"I don't doubt that."876Please respect copyright.PENANAbeSftDF7ox
"And thank goodness my 876Please respect copyright.PENANA2EXNoBKyww
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 876Please respect copyright.PENANAfmoHsGtdNu
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I876Please respect copyright.PENANAxJD52hcMD2
want to do is watch some TV."876Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZmCl9ciAY
I quickly drank my 876Please respect copyright.PENANAq7AECW1Lyl
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 876Please respect copyright.PENANAxTMrX9vKDE
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 876Please respect copyright.PENANAkQTSrE4Gaf
to.876Please respect copyright.PENANAaDfR5dhXHm
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.876Please respect copyright.PENANAUmZkBfvZo0
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.876Please respect copyright.PENANAsaQBMn0LLt
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"876Please respect copyright.PENANA3lkdadaFzs
"Nope."876Please respect copyright.PENANAtBO0RK6UXH
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.876Please respect copyright.PENANAgu9smFqu10
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANA81YG2qeZZb
Taeyang didn't say 876Please respect copyright.PENANA7HsIRtvJC3
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened876Please respect copyright.PENANA42MkfUKAlg
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."876Please respect copyright.PENANAx0FSyASVoG
"I know you fought or 876Please respect copyright.PENANAiCd0cmoZlf
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 876Please respect copyright.PENANARU9xoT6GKu
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."876Please respect copyright.PENANAsvQNX0iIxY
I noticed Taeyang smile 876Please respect copyright.PENANAhyHwA4py9b
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 876Please respect copyright.PENANAztkHsNPVSz
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 876Please respect copyright.PENANASbNcyiUJ3j
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.876Please respect copyright.PENANAgO9TN1QZrB
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.876Please respect copyright.PENANAAVH7Yg8gCk
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."876Please respect copyright.PENANAE5TAi0Fgtu
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?876Please respect copyright.PENANAOHGxKH0W3D
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.876Please respect copyright.PENANAfJxF363Q13
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."876Please respect copyright.PENANAJbvkPrQVgm
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."876Please respect copyright.PENANAxtXeMby1qR
Before I could finish my876Please respect copyright.PENANAow7OsLX5Cy
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 876Please respect copyright.PENANAx59gBMwKkK
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.876Please respect copyright.PENANAz19fVmboYd
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.876Please respect copyright.PENANAe66M47rGVy
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.876Please respect copyright.PENANAC0qAop6vre
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."876Please respect copyright.PENANAT7qtyRYx9q
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."876Please respect copyright.PENANAps650dMHLz
"Yep, cheers to that." 876Please respect copyright.PENANA8WMqxIhNPn
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANALXon829gG0
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.876Please respect copyright.PENANAh7ls5u92u3
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAZERVoVaJSP
"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."876Please respect copyright.PENANAvh1RCPklVD
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."876Please respect copyright.PENANAwIl84VRTKy
"Wow, that sounds personal."876Please respect copyright.PENANA9dxXWtMeIO
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."876Please respect copyright.PENANAilUXEcYjTd
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"876Please respect copyright.PENANA0FohGurYuT
"I think I've a better 876Please respect copyright.PENANAz6q2jz3RZX
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 876Please respect copyright.PENANAhcbJyvomqy
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 876Please respect copyright.PENANAVF7meWmITt
lyrics. It's better that way."876Please respect copyright.PENANA9nJpoG7gny
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"876Please respect copyright.PENANARUOhouovmT
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."876Please respect copyright.PENANAUDrAkZ8K6H
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."876Please respect copyright.PENANA0l74fsiMKB
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."876Please respect copyright.PENANABoGFsx5F9i
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."876Please respect copyright.PENANAQUYT0of7w6
"Haha, good point."876Please respect copyright.PENANA3i3YHRQx3M
Taeyang and I continued 876Please respect copyright.PENANAIE7P4Hu6L0
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 876Please respect copyright.PENANAei6ULC7OX7
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 876Please respect copyright.PENANAb5Se4odiOF
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we876Please respect copyright.PENANAdqJpt3Mi9f
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 876Please respect copyright.PENANAPbIq6tZ8v3
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 876Please respect copyright.PENANAjghCEoEwde
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 876Please respect copyright.PENANAIep0VyeilE
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 876Please respect copyright.PENANAua6SqM6liX
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.876Please respect copyright.PENANAw0g78TZEB2
While the two of us were876Please respect copyright.PENANAP6RKAsqolN
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,876Please respect copyright.PENANAKHycEdW1Fl
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 876Please respect copyright.PENANA0DvbDR3FPe
I quickly went over to 876Please respect copyright.PENANAmA7IgoFt6Q
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was876Please respect copyright.PENANAZDl5JnQbq1
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung876Please respect copyright.PENANAxfipdvyjQL
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could876Please respect copyright.PENANAnJd6js1Ffy
come up and I put the receiver down.876Please respect copyright.PENANA7pJPnsCzxy
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."876Please respect copyright.PENANAHGea0yURs1
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."876Please respect copyright.PENANA0ArLMViwOk
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."876Please respect copyright.PENANAXxgyMxbBrl
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.876Please respect copyright.PENANA9uJUSC2TZB
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.876Please respect copyright.PENANAXVsgxOzUkS
"Eww, that pillow 876Please respect copyright.PENANAaOtd2PLxsQ
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 876Please respect copyright.PENANAOrFjufzR8z
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.876Please respect copyright.PENANAK8FDc6JTll
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.876Please respect copyright.PENANATu086veOOR
A few seconds later, we 876Please respect copyright.PENANAOwY63t1WVY
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 876Please respect copyright.PENANA7MBw1b6Ht2
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 876Please respect copyright.PENANAPPlKKF0dlH
holding a box of chocolates.876Please respect copyright.PENANAr9dYJSXAeJ
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.876Please respect copyright.PENANADMrYrMcjaC
"Ah, no, the panda is a 876Please respect copyright.PENANAYzUcsgGhh3
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 876Please respect copyright.PENANAoAOwLiv2Ql
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAW3jeF9z2tW
same time.876Please respect copyright.PENANAzF1NwOJu8x
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."876Please respect copyright.PENANAcrCfB76akX
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.876Please respect copyright.PENANA4LZHUQ7iwr
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAFL5yyTtOZ6
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."876Please respect copyright.PENANA9C7suhDxwZ
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.876Please respect copyright.PENANAFiytPM1Ikx
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.876Please respect copyright.PENANA4EnuZAUaY6
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."876Please respect copyright.PENANA3cFB6sriWZ
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.876Please respect copyright.PENANAZJlOyFaJtW
"For goodness sake, I 876Please respect copyright.PENANA8UI6ubNsha
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 876Please respect copyright.PENANA15g3j7DDrC
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 876Please respect copyright.PENANACWvkKYcimK
scared with me."876Please respect copyright.PENANAUlpnHlw9QJ
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.876Please respect copyright.PENANAKjZt9mxjAC
I took the panda in my 876Please respect copyright.PENANAnSLkKWcoh5
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 876Please respect copyright.PENANAcG6pqKCSCR
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 876Please respect copyright.PENANALclYqaBWNt
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 876Please respect copyright.PENANAwCGm772P6D
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.876Please respect copyright.PENANAVvfpxlIhgE
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."876Please respect copyright.PENANAmVPDR3FJZY
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."876Please respect copyright.PENANA0V2FgOVmjt
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAVaDPbl876p
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.876Please respect copyright.PENANAxWrWvdnsad
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."876Please respect copyright.PENANAZxB7BYnQlr
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I876Please respect copyright.PENANAna1EYlw1Wc
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 876Please respect copyright.PENANAYMQYt9Mwrl
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 876Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6i1CZYi74
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."876Please respect copyright.PENANAjXIEoVhGzx
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."876Please respect copyright.PENANAa5vqwuebB1
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."876Please respect copyright.PENANA4aRhx3h8rc
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.876Please respect copyright.PENANAoQC6k1olgx
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."876Please respect copyright.PENANA7jo0CIDRpY
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.876Please respect copyright.PENANAmzW8rEPlRr
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."876Please respect copyright.PENANAB5GQRXeWE9
"Ya, I do."876Please respect copyright.PENANAWYJUhLQDGt
While the four of us 876Please respect copyright.PENANArziWELgzef
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 876Please respect copyright.PENANADUPcqnNjH3
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 876Please respect copyright.PENANAC6NDIrsBU1
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 876Please respect copyright.PENANAAtTn1MKkee
said:876Please respect copyright.PENANAagI3HsAUBV
"Hey, Zoey." 876Please respect copyright.PENANAZpSMfp5Fts
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 876Please respect copyright.PENANA7q59zuQRXb
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."876Please respect copyright.PENANAuxOs5Kaeld
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.876Please respect copyright.PENANAm8R4ZUHBaq
"It's good you came to 876Please respect copyright.PENANAS9FKYGL23Y
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 876Please respect copyright.PENANAc1GzA5DrUP
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 876Please respect copyright.PENANARazaTQa6P1
couch.876Please respect copyright.PENANABSiptH72zf
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"876Please respect copyright.PENANAs7xd7Dky8o
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"876Please respect copyright.PENANAZ010h4QwCi
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAk1E4yXQiY1
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAcVNETenSu2
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.876Please respect copyright.PENANAPX2N610Bm0
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.876Please respect copyright.PENANAC07XK3UYoa
I tugged at my panda's 876Please respect copyright.PENANAnT9yLE9J40
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it876Please respect copyright.PENANAtsQF8MPbh0
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking876Please respect copyright.PENANAJpuZkXf3Bp
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.876Please respect copyright.PENANAbhCgR1k5dX
The Toxins came back to 876Please respect copyright.PENANAS1N4VLcMiP
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held876Please respect copyright.PENANA4MOF1FBV60
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine876Please respect copyright.PENANAuoXaR0Pyjk
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.876Please respect copyright.PENANAgQHI7QhLWD
For a moment, no one 876Please respect copyright.PENANAtxRTur9V5f
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 876Please respect copyright.PENANAiXdn1umQgU
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.876Please respect copyright.PENANAVwli5x3U4p
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.876Please respect copyright.PENANA6CMXBnnShx
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAy0FnKkHTBA
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.876Please respect copyright.PENANAkJwxohrM8D
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."876Please respect copyright.PENANAXqFqKfNlPj
I stared up at the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAaY5wcXKxyD
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 876Please respect copyright.PENANACJwJUrg5xq
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.876Please respect copyright.PENANAw6BVSO6rAO
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."876Please respect copyright.PENANADqtpSDZ6zk
When Zoey tried to reach876Please respect copyright.PENANAztMRYRVJhe
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 876Please respect copyright.PENANAhEEChaMGL0
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.876Please respect copyright.PENANAP80ls7gS7z
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.876Please respect copyright.PENANAhjvzDxiHpq
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.876Please respect copyright.PENANARZqfLXlzd2
Zoey looked hurt with 876Please respect copyright.PENANAQhL4raQprv
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 876Please respect copyright.PENANAKSmmHaIDsS
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.876Please respect copyright.PENANA9GQHGMrWC3
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANANKMUxeHYHy
I didn't answer as I put876Please respect copyright.PENANArXMrPkZF7Q
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I876Please respect copyright.PENANAWqGo4JisLW
was still mad, especially at Zoey.876Please respect copyright.PENANA8lPmJPIDup
"I know it's a little 876Please respect copyright.PENANA5HOEXoj1D7
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 876Please respect copyright.PENANAfsys6wvTNf
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 876Please respect copyright.PENANAmKG6SdX8hu
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 876Please respect copyright.PENANAYabtXPivrH
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 876Please respect copyright.PENANALvx5HzxvdP
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 876Please respect copyright.PENANAmbEJwbAV4D
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."876Please respect copyright.PENANAKy5iTHInhA
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.876Please respect copyright.PENANAGEUnM8HMkR
"I don't like it when 876Please respect copyright.PENANASZtbu3UZMc
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 876Please respect copyright.PENANAWUSWEMWJ0h
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 876Please respect copyright.PENANAZgO3BC4yQ9
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 876Please respect copyright.PENANAniHJQ5fKsW
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 876Please respect copyright.PENANAzuRaJ2HnEp
sorry, Sam."876Please respect copyright.PENANAFgYwVtEzrf
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."876Please respect copyright.PENANAuCQzs2BROi
"I'm sorry too," said 876Please respect copyright.PENANAgqZQEKriBX
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 876Please respect copyright.PENANAC6svFEtlTx
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 876Please respect copyright.PENANAt17M7uHKiD
for you to talk to us again."876Please respect copyright.PENANAhKBKWhykEn
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 876Please respect copyright.PENANATWB2X2thpR
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 876Please respect copyright.PENANAAclQ3Ig5f9
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 876Please respect copyright.PENANAFXTmFemMiy
leader."876Please respect copyright.PENANABuhZueNb1i
I still didn't say a 876Please respect copyright.PENANAQfhCLnrz3P
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 876Please respect copyright.PENANAb5qADaqOhn
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 876Please respect copyright.PENANAk4yAhK2eJV
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 876Please respect copyright.PENANAVVkOZejdQ4
them despite the awful things they put me through.876Please respect copyright.PENANAM7g1NUbTLU
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAZUELKH6UjS
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."876Please respect copyright.PENANAgPmY1wiBcr
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.876Please respect copyright.PENANAnukTvq4xPn
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.876Please respect copyright.PENANAdX1auDRcu7
"I'm mad and pretty much876Please respect copyright.PENANAvVAPG7DG9l
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 876Please respect copyright.PENANAzvpiAym7iO
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."876Please respect copyright.PENANAjldObJWmkb
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAYB4jRUoCTJ
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."876Please respect copyright.PENANA3tTMJQapqY
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.876Please respect copyright.PENANAfp4KTAHghP
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 876Please respect copyright.PENANAMKtnzu1OGH
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 876Please respect copyright.PENANAaz8se6Zxf1
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."876Please respect copyright.PENANAOM0EEoaMCJ
"Ah, you! Always acting 876Please respect copyright.PENANAR3FUbJstlA
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 876Please respect copyright.PENANAkozIE8LXUu
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 876Please respect copyright.PENANAjpfKmkKV2w
catch it anyway."876Please respect copyright.PENANAF3nO7kCpEk
Christine, Daniel and 876Please respect copyright.PENANAQd2eo12nFg
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAsRsNaXqlrA
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 876Please respect copyright.PENANABq5AZtPTBM
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.876Please respect copyright.PENANAT2QEtTMPOE
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.876Please respect copyright.PENANA2HQHEDJYk3
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.876Please respect copyright.PENANATXflI5JbTH
"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...."876Please respect copyright.PENANAbmpX750E04
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.876Please respect copyright.PENANA2q1oXADjmO
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."876Please respect copyright.PENANAqNyMmDMmBZ
"Don't worry, you won't 876Please respect copyright.PENANASMwzM5bAjm
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 876Please respect copyright.PENANAu6gqIzYrZd
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.876Please respect copyright.PENANApLXgx2kR7G
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.876Please respect copyright.PENANAf1lBREcRyA
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.876Please respect copyright.PENANALl7XwqD5QG
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAonU1McMcHY
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."876Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8tXwlP85Y
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.876Please respect copyright.PENANAtIwW8DgQHN
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAPKSncPTGCo
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"876Please respect copyright.PENANA5s4Wc0uAQI
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."876Please respect copyright.PENANA5vWuE9r76I
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.876Please respect copyright.PENANAeqwq6hzeef
At that moment, I had 876Please respect copyright.PENANAqgmLjLWxmh
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.876Please respect copyright.PENANAmjmHkucdQk
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.876Please respect copyright.PENANAAgmnZGIRTg
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAd54oDmeQyW
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.876Please respect copyright.PENANAsgdbEZ5MRF
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."876Please respect copyright.PENANAaVki3OIxbJ
Zoey got the box of 876Please respect copyright.PENANAl44fbO36bZ
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 876Please respect copyright.PENANAd2wUamiSCd
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.876Please respect copyright.PENANAq3dGG0O5x1
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.876Please respect copyright.PENANA5s300dm29m
I was in the passage as I876Please respect copyright.PENANAoRekoJTKYt
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 876Please respect copyright.PENANA0qHBr8kjFK
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed876Please respect copyright.PENANAOATUSgAIMt
in what felt like sadness.876Please respect copyright.PENANAQpKSakeRlS
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.876Please respect copyright.PENANAytDTUY0dEn
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."876Please respect copyright.PENANA7IRukegaaw
I heard his footsteps 876Please respect copyright.PENANARY25uvSw2K
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAPpGwVmEdzD
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.876Please respect copyright.PENANA8fMJ8X2vuz
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAqKbDa08cRg
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAGFBb7OCzWC
"Are we really do this right now?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAAi3zBKkBJ4
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 876Please respect copyright.PENANAWUvBlleK1R
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.876Please respect copyright.PENANA50nLosy6Ah
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANACsbAk7S9TB
"Nope." 876Please respect copyright.PENANAvvWYbTaPW5
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."876Please respect copyright.PENANAZBNUGWzSm6
My eyes almost felt like876Please respect copyright.PENANA596aM99T46
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 876Please respect copyright.PENANAu7XejdGo3O
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.876Please respect copyright.PENANAOSDHIqqjQT
I turned to look at him 876Please respect copyright.PENANARyycxFBYJ5
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 876Please respect copyright.PENANAXP0l1S6snb
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.876Please respect copyright.PENANAsInKnTK3fs
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.876Please respect copyright.PENANA3c6ieTpYxS
"That you're surrounded 876Please respect copyright.PENANAHlrEqJzEHs
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 876Please respect copyright.PENANAgGmFAW5Pqi
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 876Please respect copyright.PENANAGEDjT8fr19
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."876Please respect copyright.PENANAVtuX5arbq1
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 876Please respect copyright.PENANAi4bgEvfLqG
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."876Please respect copyright.PENANA96ep6hWQy3
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAzaMPg6wCgi
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."876Please respect copyright.PENANAvBBI8fvtCg
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."876Please respect copyright.PENANAm5IJkX83cD
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"876Please respect copyright.PENANApZrOWA8xJu
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."876Please respect copyright.PENANAPKvEtzprro
Apparently, I couldn't 876Please respect copyright.PENANAiYzZbZLAgq
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 876Please respect copyright.PENANAsawNQI7Olr
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 876Please respect copyright.PENANAQmTyZDoJW8
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 876Please respect copyright.PENANAhgKDUGmzzm
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 876Please respect copyright.PENANA3g2DjlTxjW
death.876Please respect copyright.PENANA4ODHEi6OXZ
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.876Please respect copyright.PENANAzwOjKMsKmZ
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."876Please respect copyright.PENANAcNE5GGIsga
Taeyang folded his arms 876Please respect copyright.PENANAQSMbYbHhAV
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think876Please respect copyright.PENANAmqEBKNtMSJ
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."876Please respect copyright.PENANArPnfE42Bvn
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.876Please respect copyright.PENANA6CjoIF2pAk
"You're may think you're876Please respect copyright.PENANAw9l7SdwF8I
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 876Please respect copyright.PENANAzmibHMirH7
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 876Please respect copyright.PENANAKs3xqqAtOs
but feeling hurt."876Please respect copyright.PENANAifNLTL6DjU
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.876Please respect copyright.PENANAMspZn9V3N7
"But I wouldn't feel 876Please respect copyright.PENANAvqIH7DG1hf
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 876Please respect copyright.PENANAeusc4dNGUS
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 876Please respect copyright.PENANAWjt97gL55I
at Taeyang.876Please respect copyright.PENANAdsmoOzHGKE
Taeyang gave me that 876Please respect copyright.PENANA84orFKrY3T
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 876Please respect copyright.PENANAu9QMqQayut
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 876Please respect copyright.PENANA1LQPYJqQ0A
while in return, he nodded.876Please respect copyright.PENANA6fTlqIVPoN
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAkqa7azs82o
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."876Please respect copyright.PENANAi1LJMOKhmx
I didn't say a word as I876Please respect copyright.PENANANevIKBWbuk
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my876Please respect copyright.PENANAseDjkU4etY
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 876Please respect copyright.PENANA1n3gxNcUhv
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 876Please respect copyright.PENANAymeR3SK6AJ
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.876Please respect copyright.PENANAimRbHyoXvC
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."876Please respect copyright.PENANANA8E8FWyYE
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."876Please respect copyright.PENANAKlHmtzunIG
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."876Please respect copyright.PENANAo0kUzguo8d
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"876Please respect copyright.PENANACqc13iXzwX
If there was ever a way I876Please respect copyright.PENANAKgGSeACm0P
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 876Please respect copyright.PENANAexNyH70oY9
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 876Please respect copyright.PENANADupzNGlJ1w
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.876Please respect copyright.PENANA3eUMtzI58a
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 876Please respect copyright.PENANANyMWEEk6bM
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAwqurLIAavg
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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAhIVXtWb4Vz
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.876Please respect copyright.PENANASWsaF32pS7
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANA2b5A9HsJVK
"Well, I'm just asking,"876Please respect copyright.PENANA3jXtrihpH9
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,876Please respect copyright.PENANAupJOrMj3HN
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."876Please respect copyright.PENANAP8M07oWMzn
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.876Please respect copyright.PENANA5NwBDOhRPl
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.876Please respect copyright.PENANAGMwQZnn7iK
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.876Please respect copyright.PENANA4AZGvtSWTw
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.876Please respect copyright.PENANASYLH9ipX0e
I pressed the button 876Please respect copyright.PENANAH3a2iNkdll
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 876Please respect copyright.PENANAGaR2ozW8lG
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 876Please respect copyright.PENANAE5woPqvJ3I
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.876Please respect copyright.PENANAs9byd5PRhY
We went to the main 876Please respect copyright.PENANALf2VFJyj7V
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for876Please respect copyright.PENANA6jIkTbvIOU
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 876Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ggt877aF5
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.876Please respect copyright.PENANAz2O0a75ZKZ
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.876Please respect copyright.PENANAkdHhOrXqZX
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAncXQvJQ66O
"To be honest, we just 876Please respect copyright.PENANAIhxKZXFf8G
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 876Please respect copyright.PENANALnKEkKWKWM
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."876Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z5tvjohoy
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.876Please respect copyright.PENANAsZEIJFfh9O
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.876Please respect copyright.PENANAqvX2E3yy1G
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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAFtdvNGeUqo
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.876Please respect copyright.PENANA5hc2ln47Sb
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.876Please respect copyright.PENANA7kmfHBDTk7
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.876Please respect copyright.PENANAke4h0ykzvP
"Nah, I don't think so,"876Please respect copyright.PENANAik2pB9yklq
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so876Please respect copyright.PENANA3rW71R8WJD
he would be treating me like that."876Please respect copyright.PENANAyz0cSZ3sFL
"Mmm, I don't think so,"876Please respect copyright.PENANAYN0D0SL6cq
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 876Please respect copyright.PENANAi3ACwbH4Gj
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAS8EY1Hg03p
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."876Please respect copyright.PENANANnpafw2Ilt
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.876Please respect copyright.PENANAscOjjKvQ28
"Then, stop trying to make one."876Please respect copyright.PENANAzTX1p3Epms
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."876Please respect copyright.PENANAyJX05oFK2A
"Ya, me too," said Mike.876Please respect copyright.PENANA2PrTjM5CII
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.876Please respect copyright.PENANA2gNEhNCB96
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAGHsc8NY7xE
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.876Please respect copyright.PENANAOyTrfcj54K
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."876Please respect copyright.PENANAwMGXVClhyP
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAorTKtYKgjf
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.876Please respect copyright.PENANA2DgOYvswag
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."876Please respect copyright.PENANAd0bdf98zUb
I didn't even dare try 876Please respect copyright.PENANABp9FJZZeET
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 876Please respect copyright.PENANArmLCYW6LDw
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.876Please respect copyright.PENANAXM0OSDcJdg
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAYLjA6x6a59
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAvKlc7wdNm5
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.876Please respect copyright.PENANAqV2yRE4ypo
I heard footsteps coming876Please respect copyright.PENANAETnzTNbuin
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 876Please respect copyright.PENANATvJUn67cnw
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 876Please respect copyright.PENANAbBXscKLinj
look at me.876Please respect copyright.PENANAx4mGTtvP7a
"Are you okay?" he whispered.876Please respect copyright.PENANAuFoFbr4NXm
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.876Please respect copyright.PENANAOq88uwq29R
I soon felt strong hands876Please respect copyright.PENANA2dXm5J4cu7
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD876Please respect copyright.PENANAsbSnpxWyMe
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.876Please respect copyright.PENANAMo4kFw53vd
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAykBesthMZd
"I'm a whole lot better,876Please respect copyright.PENANAqgpL8z0f3J
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 876Please respect copyright.PENANA5V1FPBfS9T
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.876Please respect copyright.PENANA5OZ58XAqFT
"Glad to hear that."876Please respect copyright.PENANAtbzoPcBocV
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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAiayEwqgfbj
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."876Please respect copyright.PENANAXWDlfU5pZD
I was planning not to 876Please respect copyright.PENANAQUc0SJUtFV
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 876Please respect copyright.PENANAKQlduWMMBB
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 876Please respect copyright.PENANAwCxnPsQRSf
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to876Please respect copyright.PENANAidEUQjh21H
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 876Please respect copyright.PENANADqFyPTCYDZ
under the bridge.876Please respect copyright.PENANA3zBX2243Ph
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."876Please respect copyright.PENANAC5EdGvVkyx
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5GmqhMdKI
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."876Please respect copyright.PENANAv7vG7OUsBN
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."876Please respect copyright.PENANAy0BChclWTL
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.876Please respect copyright.PENANA7li0h6irNM
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.876Please respect copyright.PENANAQoCkgqUHCc
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAmD7CtDFCKE
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."876Please respect copyright.PENANAdDRRi5VFjS
The waiters soon came 876Please respect copyright.PENANALIWarua0dX
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.876Please respect copyright.PENANAZoJHT0tjwI
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 876Please respect copyright.PENANAcsr4kvVFYq
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 876Please respect copyright.PENANAYz6pMvX6dy
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.876Please respect copyright.PENANANpmhc1JIjO
For a moment, I felt 876Please respect copyright.PENANAOWRRYXd7Rw
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 876Please respect copyright.PENANA8htY4svxgm
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 876Please respect copyright.PENANAjWMa5uFruB
me to forget that I was ever mad.876Please respect copyright.PENANAakexhmKxcZ
"Mmm, this is so 876Please respect copyright.PENANA75AGKfmIPd
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 876Please respect copyright.PENANAJMN2nlhNui
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."876Please respect copyright.PENANAzgDvjRJpz3
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."876Please respect copyright.PENANArLtBzUsaNe
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."876Please respect copyright.PENANAdxketfk3JG
"Anything for you, Sam,"876Please respect copyright.PENANA87kdGh26TQ
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 876Please respect copyright.PENANAzQPfLiE9GI
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."876Please respect copyright.PENANAYTmduLQOzM
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAelYn2279YA
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.876Please respect copyright.PENANAJxqZbbtM6L
I had just taken in some876Please respect copyright.PENANAimDcu86G9f
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 876Please respect copyright.PENANAQJnmm8Qh3x
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly876Please respect copyright.PENANAMj7xA3JWZ4
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 876Please respect copyright.PENANAU8fisTQrgj
just said.876Please respect copyright.PENANA9evAMr7SiK
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANALyCLO4J2PN
"Well, ya," Christine 876Please respect copyright.PENANA8WsA03fFPN
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 876Please respect copyright.PENANA6ALSCTlbXx
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 876Please respect copyright.PENANAZc8PIbbRvO
special lunch to lighten your mood."876Please respect copyright.PENANA3EdM9e3XBm
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.876Please respect copyright.PENANAQmsg1x1rmm
"Thanks for the lunch, 876Please respect copyright.PENANARdZCCqbHnW
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so876Please respect copyright.PENANAWOtj5xDeGp
sweet of you to have come up with this."876Please respect copyright.PENANA1UBzn4ELw2
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.876Please respect copyright.PENANAVo76jAmohU
I almost felt like 876Please respect copyright.PENANAS3o1NgEXZu
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 876Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ54IkjQyy
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare876Please respect copyright.PENANA6PpHH72tQR
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 876Please respect copyright.PENANA5PMEf4k6FP
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 876Please respect copyright.PENANA0DkIwpetqS
turning into rage?876Please respect copyright.PENANA1nVuroPehd
Oh, goodness. I needed 876Please respect copyright.PENANAFSgGVisEZs
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 876Please respect copyright.PENANA1mrTgT7m3i
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 876Please respect copyright.PENANAAtQO45ks0l
I tried to push aside 876Please respect copyright.PENANA3tPANG6QA8
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 876Please respect copyright.PENANAuvsagAYu0V
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 876Please respect copyright.PENANAP8EQtbgPNY
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 876Please respect copyright.PENANAhOsh9Ji7Fd
chocolate moussé.876Please respect copyright.PENANAiaVQTAelQY
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,876Please respect copyright.PENANAaCT4g5bCNp
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 876Please respect copyright.PENANA9aVhNEVjMV
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.876Please respect copyright.PENANANvfHhhtwWq
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.876Please respect copyright.PENANASLUBvwvBWb
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."876Please respect copyright.PENANAJbLJBXhinI
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.876Please respect copyright.PENANAUsQSSn0YWQ
I didn't wait for 876Please respect copyright.PENANAABEFL2PNjN
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I876Please respect copyright.PENANAeo2h9a9z00
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed876Please respect copyright.PENANAYFzOjD5hhm
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 876Please respect copyright.PENANA36PnOvqWMx
heaven.876Please respect copyright.PENANAHUVwbAYQWt
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.876Please respect copyright.PENANAUBg8yRTQe2
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."876Please respect copyright.PENANAqKZgM1auGv
"I don't care," I said 876Please respect copyright.PENANAh1FjwZ7PbB
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 876Please respect copyright.PENANAOXSmppHVV5
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."876Please respect copyright.PENANAat9k5XTjUQ
G-Dragon smiled back at 876Please respect copyright.PENANAJMwaJrBz4l
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 876Please respect copyright.PENANAEQDLvT3usM
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 876Please respect copyright.PENANAwf9Z2YukrD
away.876Please respect copyright.PENANAzuhe31dhw6
After dessert, we all 876Please respect copyright.PENANATOtytXBcfd
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 876Please respect copyright.PENANAE8gC74UabZ
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 876Please respect copyright.PENANAj7OvQmHBYP
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 876Please respect copyright.PENANAG1SeT01ngL
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 876Please respect copyright.PENANASccJ4yHaoV
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 876Please respect copyright.PENANAirGmhn3rGO
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.876Please respect copyright.PENANAbOKoeVQFYI
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"876Please respect copyright.PENANA8OhxayLrhK
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.876Please respect copyright.PENANAny8hTgzVjq
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."876Please respect copyright.PENANAfsIu6ORCLq
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.876Please respect copyright.PENANA9BstSRRXiL
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."876Please respect copyright.PENANANXLHwCAzqn
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."876Please respect copyright.PENANAuJPXgNsprs
"What stuff?" TOP asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANALMXSKFUTOC
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAZNSAVFafIc
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."876Please respect copyright.PENANAkdyALDBjq5
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.876Please respect copyright.PENANApDsEUR2sA2
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.876Please respect copyright.PENANAdaAJup1pf2
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.876Please respect copyright.PENANA0dGZXJw6As
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.876Please respect copyright.PENANAs23WWgUCoi
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."876Please respect copyright.PENANAgleqoUzYVZ
"Wait, what's going on?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAeYfjorVKcJ
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 876Please respect copyright.PENANA6pN8MJ4Jgo
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAEQYrs8Yzyk
"I thought we should all876Please respect copyright.PENANAtbkcxP48JS
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 876Please respect copyright.PENANAf646k8h8lF
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."876Please respect copyright.PENANA5wUFuZxONK
"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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAMbtr0k5Wly
"I don't know, I feel we876Please respect copyright.PENANAjnju0oZguT
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.876Please respect copyright.PENANAm8HqE6zYwj
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out876Please respect copyright.PENANAOxVRpKh5WD
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."876Please respect copyright.PENANAUzG7qlmMyE
"I don't get it though,"876Please respect copyright.PENANASTrHye94pm
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 876Please respect copyright.PENANAAVAqkC74O3
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write876Please respect copyright.PENANAuSafHJMptw
the lyrics?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAxCNUddeDFf
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.876Please respect copyright.PENANAFeR9pAeZx1
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAhgGpvb0Ive
This time, I also raised876Please respect copyright.PENANA0JeKwpaAU9
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 876Please respect copyright.PENANAO7r4HiokbM
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.876Please respect copyright.PENANAY60If2rxuu
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANA7taKtdXWFr
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.876Please respect copyright.PENANA7nyeeLqK0o
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.876Please respect copyright.PENANA1OXmFxJcYH
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAWOMiBxbpxU
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."876Please respect copyright.PENANAhKWC8Qo3PM
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAHXzGRKVLId
By the way G-Dragon 876Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ4xW2qCrr
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 876Please respect copyright.PENANApe4GEUL83M
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And876Please respect copyright.PENANAXLWmrmmDe1
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of876Please respect copyright.PENANAs9Y1UP6bMW
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.876Please respect copyright.PENANAaXABzkneAD
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."876Please respect copyright.PENANAwO68Ke4JJg
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAekcbXTDd8e
"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."876Please respect copyright.PENANAiPeQc5pk9O
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.876Please respect copyright.PENANATFPvS9aAyh
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAHhbAy89Lja
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.876Please respect copyright.PENANA7wgvrTy9Uu
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."876Please respect copyright.PENANAgxF0vLp0zs
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."876Please respect copyright.PENANAik287gFTBX
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."876Please respect copyright.PENANAU0H06ziV1l
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."876Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0mY4AvmJ5
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."876Please respect copyright.PENANAemVvuUDnI3
"What truth?" I asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANA4ue5uopQ0e
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."876Please respect copyright.PENANAFg2p4pQTUe
Taeyang was right. I was876Please respect copyright.PENANAvkLtREaLBq
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 876Please respect copyright.PENANAIq7pKs1Mir
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 876Please respect copyright.PENANAvMQrIVOO3b
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 876Please respect copyright.PENANAxLiTLK4T90
attention.876Please respect copyright.PENANAvNyE8M4tQ8
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."876Please respect copyright.PENANAicPcvIMAGu
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."876Please respect copyright.PENANAfMWgQ9cYW2
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel876Please respect copyright.PENANAjUBh6S52R9
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 876Please respect copyright.PENANAmeYvSWY0KH
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!876Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jt4bSklZf
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.876Please respect copyright.PENANAXvkd7xMj17
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.876Please respect copyright.PENANANvEKOaOpmE
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.876Please respect copyright.PENANAPdFytw121t
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.876Please respect copyright.PENANACiO9ABaRrE
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.876Please respect copyright.PENANAGedg7nQkJE
"But I....." 876Please respect copyright.PENANAiTsXN7srsO
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 876Please respect copyright.PENANAhURfSZRAdO
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've876Please respect copyright.PENANAxCHDxvP7TJ
talked way too much, don't you think?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAywzbXWlORM
That felt like a slap in876Please respect copyright.PENANASV9MN405RE
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 876Please respect copyright.PENANA10FdEGZ0rp
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 876Please respect copyright.PENANAb2ygIOp6QU
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 876Please respect copyright.PENANABmBGv4Vwxx
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 876Please respect copyright.PENANAghQqlKdVOD
about what I thought was best for the whole group?876Please respect copyright.PENANACJw1iFgsZt
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.876Please respect copyright.PENANAhOtxfaPvla
"That's fine with me," said Mike.876Please respect copyright.PENANAHDdzyavbu8
Everyone else agreed, 876Please respect copyright.PENANAJOePAGuVQn
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 876Please respect copyright.PENANAABaaErUAof
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 876Please respect copyright.PENANACZChDI6RD1
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 876Please respect copyright.PENANAuxfoomzjkM
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 876Please respect copyright.PENANAIKBDb3eWiQ
B, just in case.876Please respect copyright.PENANABEyNWz7lOF
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.876Please respect copyright.PENANAwu6QVpSQPj
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.876Please respect copyright.PENANATO07G5xxS9
"Not now, Sam. We will 876Please respect copyright.PENANAsQEPkhNBTB
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 876Please respect copyright.PENANAEj1xUuN6xi
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 876Please respect copyright.PENANAE93HCfKUtl
gave me goosebumps.876Please respect copyright.PENANASXOqi8FqNb
"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."876Please respect copyright.PENANAN4dewl9mxc
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 876Please respect copyright.PENANAQWEPp1tORw
One by one everyone 876Please respect copyright.PENANAQK2cposco7
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 876Please respect copyright.PENANABU6jlXBBHS
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem876Please respect copyright.PENANATsmK1jygXJ
appropriate.876Please respect copyright.PENANA2snFXZjOhM
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.876Please respect copyright.PENANAkK8TZoA0Tm
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.876Please respect copyright.PENANAfD71i6pgpa
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.876Please respect copyright.PENANAo8U2evt922
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.876Please respect copyright.PENANAxXMrq0E3sg
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."876Please respect copyright.PENANAsl3Z3dlejU
"It's not that. I pissed876Please respect copyright.PENANAlvar244vfH
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take876Please respect copyright.PENANAHTvvixsehR
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."876Please respect copyright.PENANAQUAWCz2XSM
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."876Please respect copyright.PENANAkRJ6mHSyYo
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."876Please respect copyright.PENANAkAIrie1k9A
Taeyang placed his hand 876Please respect copyright.PENANAZzxjGLeuR7
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He876Please respect copyright.PENANABK4D1dMm16
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.876Please respect copyright.PENANAZnAUdvd4rR
I knew I had to hope for876Please respect copyright.PENANAr1rGeqvi3O
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut876Please respect copyright.PENANApYkVSNbZxm
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 876Please respect copyright.PENANAzt7asecHQA
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 876Please respect copyright.PENANAsd86FtQfab
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 876Please respect copyright.PENANAAzDsRebsXP
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
