Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 15: Fire At YG

My body ached all over 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFXYVwXeo8
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JNxHm2bYF
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWX0Y0aiiW
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAuGivyOrR
bed.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQiN1ctXbM

I scratched my head as I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOHIFLDPU9
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPQzZzjsdg
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RAbnq0toX
he found me here.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV3bHJsYyF

I slowly stood up and I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVoATdA557
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvkuIJlGhY
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpstyNXxd76
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVo9BXO4VU

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbvuBy4eSt

I almost jumped in 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsifPL4hJcm
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAOHvsezai
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzgnd33t7v
obviously reading the news online.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXx0HGM2mn

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xsjts9Rbk

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvqG7lrYnH

"'Don't tire yourself 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG6gw4jJk9
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbZ7asTX3l
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vVrENUPPg

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4TiPjdnFi

"Oh, you were listening?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ954Nkv9Myk

"Ya, you kept on playing1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJTr3FcVL4
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmsgo4rzk3
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PL8Nw66zS

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixMIVEdmwd

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpD7cyhd1O

"For covering me with a blanket."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ12MKlRuQ

Collins looked at me 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mcxrML3aP
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxjRoAGHUa
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAN12vJXBm

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4H9MOxtHS

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJvVZDTQKy

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ9D0ecft9

"Me too."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM06IrfvgR

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNw2IXa1br

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHtC6khoMA

"Going to take a shower," I said.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ7ATzBqcz

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsQYZTroKC

After I freshened myself1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85BcipcwUB
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XP14hubET
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYU4tub4pr
Collins was still on his tablet.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLilCHlvKG

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZkKY6rpnE

"Nope. Just looking at 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH5EWEp2LP
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNkbuftoAX
coming back late at night with the others."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7RZYpSHQw

"Are they having a good time?" I got a slice of bread that laid on the middle of the table and was applying marmalade on it.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj0li6a1PA

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdd367ipQv

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdOHwSmWA0

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ACwHtHuqz

Collins handed his 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gOAQaany4
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpdaTUlwDB
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53lDvb3hOH
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprm2ObSTLk
having a great time.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW1m1epizo

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9wiB7obTs

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wg8mQbHf3

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFTSczVymJ

"They should have as 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw5H8kejSc
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj4jo5DMwe
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5WI1Uf5lZ

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcguCNCqqKK

"No, it's not about the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqrDVGYWTm
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFpCXpzBuN
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG8CZ5kmKS

I looked at Lee who sat 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxyrlZcjPl
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8fPhJnFrc
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgXP10rZfl
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssd1X2a0Qm

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQWJmgjKmM

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0faHs8vkEA

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIVXWp1Scx

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerXrhamzyI

"If I tell you, I'll 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdoWpDA3ix
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hjLz2bbfY
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZWNVoKwgf

Collins got up from his 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFWlfUuBjx
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1IQy4I2EB
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDudogi2Qvt
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwViWJvI1TR

"What do you know?" I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTlkYAp3Oq
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiz2G8t9IO
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4BhBi700x
detective asking questions to a criminal.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcIN2wsrZl

"I don't know," Lee 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ7Qrt5jKl
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZc2ATDCNZ
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM6x8et3NC

I knew something was up 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKHF4pC5bE
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO1Udk1hVK
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoRNxRMSKF

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCar960FhRY

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPiJJh2ZCk

"Well, hopefully." I blew out a puff of air and shook my head as I thought of what happened to G-Dragon and I yesterday.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0IAAX7DWS

"Hey, what's wrong?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zhX5Vm8bH

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtO21wDjos

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvCTzsecMJ

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyHdsghmq2

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVZ9KBs9U4

"Well, kind of," I said 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BZvHWV95r
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfITY8WwEC1
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmOAs4Mi78

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl4ayF32QS

"Okay."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfseNLGpbIn

I was just done eating my breakfast when Collins came to tell us that it was time to go. I carried the guitar and my notebook.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7vQwrjoWU

Lee, Collins and I soon 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOn3rcTSyb
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzALUURaKVR
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO3ucj7iPP
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K7uaOj8UF
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsS5PQ3yeS
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUD8HyFW7D

I was waiting in th 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KGdLNdp4G
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNMh6jPwkd
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6hJOHoumP
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIBCPl3nG8
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr3ZBiiL9N

I was pacing up and down1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCaJgb5xGN
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnh6ruZ4sa
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaYhehTgtV
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCsSlZT7Oz
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4eXTCsLNx
and I was so nervous.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDEMri9xlX

"Here she is," said Lee,1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5935cTUaJ
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMGoRYrz7k
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYx27BbhuB
you, Tae."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisre39pbcC

I frowned at Lee and I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz3WQpLerl
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR1hts7ySQ
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfUyWMIkBk
friend.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi8MhUnCU2

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRsqP2uby4

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpIDz8uuSE

"I told Taeyang that I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAaqpyA7ku
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphPBNca1nR
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnZFI5BNxW

"Our manager called me 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2XPEWbc50
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOktUp4Alal
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q3gdHgIpN
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGBbke1pW4

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1bDyqsTKc

"I'll go and check on the managers and see what's taking them so long," said Lee as she started to head out of the room.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQleaOJfaLj

I wanted to call out to her and tell her to let it be. I didn't want our managers here just yet. But she had already left.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzXDzeII6w

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsraOec46U

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxymbbqiWv

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjv9KE9n4l

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ38UKKCzBb

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJgCuvr6iF

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbtqhoRHsM

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34yImCSGbS

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDkLpWBzfY

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa70yqCb3eu

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw654ysQXf

"Sure."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Qjd9Hri1

I gave Taeyang my 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV49P619cd
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjEY1HUiXY
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd1Rkl74wb
cute together.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPH2HQlkpM

"I can't wait for you to sing the song for us," said Hyo-rin as she looked at me. "The lyrics sound really good."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUJQ7YMpQU

"Thanks. I was singing 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSYM2hEF7W
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU0ioeBI0o
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6vSvWjD6L
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyiSYA41AU

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8EYEfv3qW

"Well...not really," I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM9t2WeexF
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj4ha6a2K5
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC06B1QaeM

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj72pzgK4Q

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurgbshZDxZ

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZcirYF0gd

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwL8pdTjFI

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5jokK7Y8P

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1T9rEJWj1

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRlH3COkj4

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3lk3D1teN

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkwiUpotGY

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszlKL1jCoR

"Right now."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTP5Icdyar

We all turned towards 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDpG9neDPJ
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JgWd8S8EE
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8kJUpmCyZ

When everyone got 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtetAVHrR0x
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEAQhbHNeo
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQe4QBMN8a
run out of the room.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgytE7SYSYS

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrpziFc6Iz

I nodded my head and my 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXMzV6SDE9
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0MOuuXZ8A
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbu8tytb4J
ever got to play it.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQadSh03Z8j

I felt a break of sweat 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmayM7mcuvl
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVrxjug41Q
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa62oPGFdl
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfILV2fonb
strung the strings on the guitar.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdEOSHhUms

I started to sing as I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuILPkSRmFZ
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTvcwW0jkD
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nf7DWwfMP
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiAo6wCRC2
didn't. Well, I hope so.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS8FxncRnf

As soon as I was done 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3TxdWDLgs
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMDbROaDlB
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXuyaooP42
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLTUubapzg
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUIhZKTZHr
hoped they liked it.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMoAzGeeZh

The studio was still 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUbToM7aio
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunq0bId6cY
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ADgYH5z7
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv4gt5E272

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN2xcsnvFP
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0divd6vADM
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyRNIx1Wxw

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9GVH2VhFi

This was it. The hammer 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqTmpCAlZA
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPVwF0yOK1
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW97FnFjGEM

"....incredible."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUW9Dujq0r

I opened my eyes and I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKif7177rcB
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYBGAi9hHF
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wZr0Dl4pw
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBTRsOf1FK
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAkwcVOfCJ

"I've to admit, when 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDMSk97saP
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6CQU4FFnH
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhja2oNcol0

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtskKfBNCql

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbE49C6zkQ

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2TjkAmldW

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3cCBXFoPf

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxxxmCnbW0

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ801eSIEyP0

I couldn't stop smiling 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHnUALINk3
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5hdgLuU37
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCshSiZXXJ
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AjN56ZCYo
good voice and a golden one.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBbKTv2E5v

Immediately our managers1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J3E6jh1N5
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15zvkEWdzx
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3EBO3gv73
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzOy7n5Wiq
musical instruments.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90qTbimd8z

This was always the hard1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64hA0w9g11
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4oa6jJPlU
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEwPVUvagN
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7E13dwLtM
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hKINlRUhM

An hour had passed and I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MDaqgsQr1
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFVM2HpD3C
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ddeqZsPoa
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOSVEjQvJX
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0c9ZwNzaW
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x5Ps6Ast7

"It's been an hour and I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfe9vWqcI4
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31FXYBe4cV
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxVJCrezaH

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNPlZkpDUp

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXRzkkgKdr

"Trust me, you're so 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDLtDUUqr8
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiyjU38kl6
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2V5HJOVoz

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ196DelHie5

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbydLszcZQ

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqX6A1wQVk

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTTwU8BRq9

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqPVBGh95n

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb4F6QM7Ns

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjgyuObl8O

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzdcUvXFYU
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdOLTc7im6
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWgrdeTHKU
masseur."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTw77MFLWQ

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXViQi7BLtc

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW39SGsB6ib

The music producer soon 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmSDPvx3rv
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHpZBRnemR
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP737LkrG6
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGSCyfKRdQ
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinAG4OOG7R
recording the track.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfKqiN8wTB

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WQzIwZjHa

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVdOk61Bxn

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyPA5QSuJw

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUQiTTpnb5

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2syek4eZgK

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXJumCE0ou

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgHf31ejZb
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInfPCeiCrU
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeu1PMwxNJ

"Let me guess, you're 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Or6Xjpe3V
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH4EzpmTNV
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm46FmU9is

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpY27cg95E

Something told me his 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8kNC8hDi0
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeXQKJZTJe
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDHrsnA03t
always does.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmickDdbpA

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnWGNxODVw

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIpKRmnJEx

It was late in the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ADqKmh8v
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupW99YfB4c
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULlMP6vEDs
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7oXUbopWX
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw9vXIjLIm

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuf0FkYIp0

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyDUYg979i

I looked beside him and I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKmCah0NuU
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohOITM4Zzr
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLogulxivWJ
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RJJO3cHN6
leaning my head on the console.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALvipVWs58

"I always hate this part1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq8aFUkegW
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptUI89ll9O
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzfFl5iNqY
console.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AzHm9NGov

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNBzBbzNLK

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwwq8llHNo

"I wonder what time."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVXd5Ck6pR

"Wait." I pushed my head1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhdGlIyK9Z
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoZGgRqGp3
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6BbGpeEk8
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXSt5ZUd4s

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrxyLM4fNs

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbYAM0XsN3

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCCt9FMK2p

"I didn't sleep well 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8KrZ2rPMH
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDcIWK57NW
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPu1lqK9qW

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr52TaY8exG

"You're right." I soon 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfOO68sda7
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUns3J1e3dQ
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iLCfnnYSX

"He said they might come at nine in the evening," I said when I cut the call. I was so sleepy I felt like I couldn't stand up.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjZkmfNYSh

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDreXVJY5aI

"Alright. Thanks."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWyaOXEsz6

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0QLjXshcl

"And so will I," said Seungri.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Ujg9Dp2n

"Guys, it's fine. Taeyang and Hyo-rin will take me," I said with a small smile on my face as I faced Seungri and Daesung.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT98EIauuZM

Immediately I left the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09PJxo78zX
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jvG3OqNQ3
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDzmyZgZUR

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubgtjvhtax

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTDLCncQ9W

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZX3mOgKSt

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnMrKi0lhE
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkyyxNFtuH
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4CybymZWX

The next thing I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiyyUGnuR6
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrrp2kzKwZ
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq7muli9Z9
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxq5S46HHr

I woke up by the sound 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHqDhdGTVT
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf50i9zjnix
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJRgn5TogC
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0kL8V6bum
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFN4L8LuWo

I reached out for the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllQLEGOMYT
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpY0MD1ZEM
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBEjRGNQ1t
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwgGxToPw3

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVizV28gWy

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCMfEvK9uX

"I could hear it ringing1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMHv9iKmHU
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFyQwjs5eK
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi7ENYLpMR

"Thanks," I said as I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GjIdWAZk5
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8NAcuvxoH
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86a1jZ7X8u

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIYlwCiucN

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYylg2zMl0

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbVqgGNNp7

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEdbdmz4ag

Lee left the room and I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D2GCh2nuW
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyybxUyt446
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVmiaSD9pT

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBQ1cImd0i

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3cEH57Rrg

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNkbaPD3ow

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUN3St3JaW

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AIXrJPvMq

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXgShXDfDE

I dashed over to the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ngeOg3iPP
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwqWoMPlp6
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnMlWrZ6yf

It was now 10 PM and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrZFPOvuv2
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1XOHO3lFV
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPvE0JA6jZ
they were right now.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZjAif3n1Y

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vHNkYyGoC

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiEBoz1a97

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p7Y0cOYJv

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttCB09Otju

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoVIcNUegl

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZxhHUF1dk

"True."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOin2CHk79Y

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoJXLffJBH

Two bell boys came out 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e6E1fWyBa
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w1q4UdPIE
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWN9sXc1Tr

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVcoD6qL9p

There were so many gift 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4xidJzQu8
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP5blndo7k
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMQvzPoVWK
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0edUwCQsJ
so pissed.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXoMXio737

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoRbEG9Vj5

"They are downstairs," he answered.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6cIHO9HCf

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL67YUpiGe

When the doors flew 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIopSTMkTR
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyHIbmUKuw
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIjh71YLe5
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cvnF0r9W6

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8HWTahzQK

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzMgxpsxZs

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u04O57BYz

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGsfYZ3N1x

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWOLfREXwt

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeKjAzUKkK

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokg7aJHOme

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBPJQICsqO

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk5kM9e1YZ

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAYNrGGYxu

I raised an eyebrow. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBoAbTdKuO
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyjoqEbZxw
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCFn5iWOTQ

"Okay. Enough," I said as I shook off Zoey and Christine away from me. "Can someone please tell me why you're acting like this?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOKGwSDpWX

"Everyone just missed 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULExEEAEcI
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzJrvG63D7
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEBVoBESWk

I rolled my eyes at him,1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgP2MFifMR
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9inecrkwB
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHJs3GMngk
face when I hugged him.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwvWGxdpmh

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjP6wKmo8r

"Wait! You missed TOP 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7LSfEtHB9
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTYSSbcBwE
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoHedhAjtF

I always loved it when 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSzlRj3YiS
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdF6Ul1VmU
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xlqJF9QL6

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4uNPELEIH

For a moment, that voice1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7C3v94fED
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkDrgI35sj
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyoNw3M3zT
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt01P1HIwMS
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHT6G8cX7y
he was still acting the same way he had left.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypzORlCjZL

I was really confused. I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WuAUgXXg9
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiIC8czn0x
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOleJ6WHfda
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpYsca8ziL
personal and it had to do with me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS5Lch7oO0

I had no other choice 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmssodksDt
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm7g6cSbUb
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9euWOjG26
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QQuLFsjyA

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WEv1w88lF

By the look on his face,1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9cM5gbZ0m
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKdzEzheQw
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecklwwt08i
going to end pretty tonight.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkQEYoZUou

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dtOClzxFp

"Ya, I did."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocHTiR5ge6

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUa2s3d2rD

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR1KIxLIh6

"Can't wait to hear it,"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMo2KWXfva
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35oz98Vo2w
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdntWR3QnS

"Anything for you, 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR39HZ8OON
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8JT21PVIF
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp2hcNhblZ
look at Zoey.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiBjHTnHWz

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AlN6DsQ0G

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWan0WJ43C

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EeAk4VQDM

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUz9AySHgj

"You know Collins is 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcHh2RwIyg
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZAZySxHIa
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt7wEWUYlg
floor.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QMUvQGqs2

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHeNmYf3zP

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q0uMfI1hs

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHTX5ghCZi

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgq3M7bAGv

"We better sort out all 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7eTKeS0gH
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDHCuNURHG
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1nVQAPlBU
floor.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43NqSmp554

Sorting out all the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMKzqmePgI
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXHl6Lknj6
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvYslji9kb
had really bought a lot of stuff.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIUXPbfdKj

The boys had brought a 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKc156AKr9
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybd57wnY9t
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y60cFPjEs
expensive designer shoes.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymlAjFoehp

As for Zoey and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxtOk0AsBn
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXirgTjXFo
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7N2588rDt
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Wac0jkb2

"G-Dragon was helping me1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJlLqiZ3sd
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqVcA6X0j6
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4nUy3RzqS

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bYK5qgKEl

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnxuLcEM10

We were sitting on the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZI54jUcyk
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy5O79RlWx
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhE6r5A2uj
stuff with Collins' too.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHjUw5sFei

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6sSgG4VZj

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEvYA9Ymon

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzgNuIAmaG

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq2UWEWcgc

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2wvVlyFy3

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l4K2l6qDE

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gqSy8obWz

I distributed the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96i0DzHXMm
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMs6KKmHgS
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH1cjCC7WI
was meant for me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptgkrCJvzJ

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiHPGCluMP

"Don't worry about it," I said as I walked over to her. "We will find it tomorrow. We can't go through all these right now."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKuzaogliH

"Ya, you're right," said Zoey. She had a gloomy look on her face. I could tell that she had bought that gift with lots of love.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OcmySGD3C

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqm1wuuPnF

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1wpbFLhaS

For a moment, time 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNGwrX13kq
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNLYLCb7VY
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cWnXn6vYb
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEmkI1RDfv
mess.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1XWGO9ldy

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwDY96s684

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkfHDu05Zs

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6yWUbwXTT

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbuRSikLS1

For me, it kind of felt 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9udycEHD2v
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuweOymzD7E
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkudLH1OGXM
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJjvZ8UWGs

When Collins came to the1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRtThkVgOw
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WHh4RrlzY
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylXtbe75BG
he just couldn't.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAYu3cQBl4

"Hey, Collins," I said.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgWLCj6fVN

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr62FClNuD

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfolpeGK1L

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoioT6ku2M

"Thanks."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM57UjRBVAL

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3BUVMpIjb

"Who?" I asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg6f0v4qVQ

"You know who I'm talking about."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5XDZBjkrm

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD95Zev7EF

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3rfHJz4e2

Collins went over to the1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jEOJ6Ez0N
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLmEPRsN3I
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HgdWWNiZ2
up at him.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrKk9xeWpz

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNu9ebXKVF

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzVO29UHoO

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw8QsdhW1z

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEhED1f19u

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL3zdDybuH

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUISQJtz21X

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcztRhtdrz

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJeiFLqcpz

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97nKNDDcmo

"Ya, most of the stuff weren't bought by us, you know? If it came to the designer clothes, it was all from Chanel," said Zoey.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCK0gILcU5

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsQNUU2kGK

"Here, we brought you an1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cDQux8pQc
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApBlsjAWfZ
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV8WRjijfx

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLobN5lj19

"Thanks," said Collins, 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu5xfzJgOf
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT8q89e9KK
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGRziSFT14

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oRklevXrs

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYXN8Mfe46

Lee was right. Collins 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW7UdYXAnj
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXDyNFCoFt
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVvOmR68Rk
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEuJ4yrpnF
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnwUAlXglc
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEcl692nh1

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAsz2WXkMM

We continued sorting out1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGmoRucVJT
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA7nimSomC
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF0TcNq75i
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOfTqm2l8W
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMWSqj3knj
already too late and we all needed to rest.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm738ck7PI

We hadn't managed to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDEqdmkfp9
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z6EkhvQCi
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24HVq9ImOX
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRqPKe2lTG
course.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvC4JFui8S

When we were all done and had retired to our rooms, Zoey quickly pushed me into the room when I was just coming into the room.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloyNLSnaj1

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6iIQJM9iR

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjRmrcqgfj

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPqSSuWpIH

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecvb3hfgfV

I looked at her with an 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3I8RbsMCY
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhwGjwjE3k
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCVol0h4YY

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiOF81rWKf

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawcExOp83c

"Fine?" I looked at 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRG2iqI7Hj
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGIIdtVV18
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD7bkXIGMy
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpp3kzuG0i

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRkEACQ8je

"Tell me, please!" I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2wjbWWQqN
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0gJEFvWlL
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lE8xz7XJN
tell me something. So tell me!"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNOL7kQn3z

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnieqOBlR9o

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaECgqRajS

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0EZAUxIjv

"Hello! Earth to Zoey!" I snapped my fingers in front of Zoey's face. "You look so lost. Please tell me what's bothering you."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBLBURGU2j

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIsPLYgieD

I felt really excited 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ly4dbJFUP
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJOiM5pMIr
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevzpVm9A1N

"I don't know how I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnp95WHOZb
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5afUl5E4q
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUUfpy36HE
Tower."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIrnUoGiU5

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b2muYFnZM
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf2HqvYN6k
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PJ32kO1id

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ob7RQs1Pm

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hgSM0Lrsa

"So we got to the Tower and we were having a good time as usual." Zoey paused as she licked her lips. "Then something happened."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmuPX32hpP

"What?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA37Zr9WArS

"When we got to the top 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUfbAMT6fr
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW90phkHL9
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkeIPvinBn
others had left and it was just GD and I."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cxjjtT6Am

My eyes grew wide. I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43r28AGDbP
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXEYoyuZ7G
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvz3wBkB0r

"You two kissed."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2dgnJX5ia

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGORqdRQkn

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5k9FOmq0L

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprf2oP3pxP

"Well, you were in one 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKQAXtSthP
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC5jv54LKt
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi79pP6Ldk

"Smart."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqkzjQpqfm

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTnC91zoWd

Zoey smiled like a fool,1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE0b1uFyQP
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRP8uB0Z59
it was so magical at the same time."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui1GcGhmig

I couldn't help but 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyh3T7zcdl
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTckgnG0U8
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0IiXd4Oga
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfPWWOicuW
everyone at the prom.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOzysGEqAo

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5aX2CJNEM

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYBhz1bYVF

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88VEzqsDYP

"And? Anything else? 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqDFBnbQpd
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NWMxFcA20
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAyIyyhWBW

"When we were on top of 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aTxIFzYQ2
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3McAa83Di
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG4ce5XVOR

Well that's a bummer. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKa4nv2ORr
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03mKO2nSjy
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrbUc8j4aV
really liked Zoey and not me?1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jNPX2ly2v

I brushed that off. Why 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbyToWFwX6
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl9FHPsLog
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlD4EuagT0
hopes up with it.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMDGEcyUQK

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFMSRrDpyN

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCyUscShZE

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYbAHT2b70

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizkRqSKEbB

"Thanks, Sam."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDpvUeeaNs

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMUoDUYL4H

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeHzEALF1p

I left Mr Panda on the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qcu3HFm92
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcgv9sn82T
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9RCURNE0P
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kjce9qjQ4
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zfi50MssM

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstwvdhc41q

"Good night," she replied. She turned to the other side to flip the switch beside the bed on the wall and the room went dark.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLWQxfLGRN

I laid my head on the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1z3aa107F
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3bWmMPUaq
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeCpaPxLnO
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIoIk7NAEy
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP4Jkxpvp0
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt25n0nHI2S
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPamYHXy79
have been.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQczrULmRgk

Zoey would have only 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNZJYU8xX7
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RiIVgZwp0
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7cwwvqdMa
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAbeSZxOLL

To be honest, I was happy for Zoey. And when I heard her giggling again, I realised that I wouldn't want to hurt her.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvporf9xQ7K

I pulled Mr Panda closer1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRDcefBbCB
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaZWsYK6GP
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhgHm7sC12

***1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGvgdzxW27

I was given a round of 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9plXyAJAk
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslCEZ2uZ6K
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF00K6RKt5v
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PZFpzZp9i

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9xm3EZh6c

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaEyCpVCY7

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURI1WD8aKL

"Then you better eat 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KNqoIz1Bg
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNMIiStol3
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW36ZuTITb

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbPa5pOdHT

"I can't wait for us to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pLJvhAWMM
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjZKqLdE7m
beside me. I could only tell why.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6BpD6QJxC

Christine who sat 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp0Roj1zoT
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9j6BsbL0C
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxtH5QDAsx
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFtOqK0vwR
and G-Dragon.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDACPG5CyB

When we were done 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cWJRGX4C4
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWboh1pcoAA
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41fBiL3JZH

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2JFJB8ARn

"What is it, Zoey?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9tHHOVZiH

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjft909Wp0E

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1TrWqllZO

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtwAUEGpRT

"That's the problem," 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hMzq5mlik
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ByexFMPm
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS73UeKY6gv
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz9YDnh5qv

Mike turned away and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqkAaZwHzD
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu7kH30WuN
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi6JN8IVPO
something?1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEvTc1iyaI

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhDwDs3kQz

We agreed with Christine1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElapgu0D2Q
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxux649RjGz
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWXNEy7sc0
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyGA1ljgWO

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PUGIwDHvi

"Hey, how are you," said G-Dragon as he came and gave her a hug. I bypassed them heading to the couch sitting next to Daesung.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBljWeBJTZy

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4LZaAiGcY

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjXmaEgyYw

"I also feel like I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTP5TuKVcL
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIJu5c8hYl
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlNowrrMub
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTYsR0xHry

"Do you think we should 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ4p62049R
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpvtHGsj0E
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN33cdug6u

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72BPzXiz9a

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEyGOpaxqU

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7pHipZUI7

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWgPvMgiWy

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7FKGj8D7A

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzCcIOnx7E

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8RPY4BBVB

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQuQs8k42T

I stood up from the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZu1WtOg8r
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUFsKqT3wZ
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUIGQhKBEl
conversation.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJQ65boT28

When I went back, I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7nLEdm9bo
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4akgqnyiOb
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6EZYXwBOn
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GGECa962Z

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA329ADvvs3

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9REIxPFGV

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nY442SMkx

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGfZHlKEvv

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag21YGthAP

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9r03pP3vH

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDcxkQ7ufb

G-Dragon gave me a weird1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Rrs3sb0Z
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOCZP7zxXM
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0OXT1TYY3
took their place on the couch.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicj0kc7OPD

"Christine and Daesung, I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMCXFlXQTg
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y07JNAC9g
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeuTbaxpca

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU0VVLWeB5

"Ya, we will sing the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKzkPgdorW
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75iWU6zBZl
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTyr4R4ifd
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZMQyNiGHm
producer has the lyrics printed out."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2xGJB1klC

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ewHZYFKMb

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP1gxAHM8o

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKU6ctgeWs

Then we all went over 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFTHV8wxmE
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCX5oEvfGF
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN2h3Z0lRm

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UrNfuvF6E

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqWgXUiZHN

"Me too," said TOP.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eYIf6arYZ

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZwH7osTFr

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZH5RqU0Ih

I didn't look up at him 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiZJZ1PFHq
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEA8rSKkXP
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbAOhohVHF
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SHfYRL703

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcSKNL8cTN

I started to relax my 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkJZCJZMRn
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6SmKkdUCf
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBsSthh8DZ

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrdFarRZ9f

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVprdXEnXuE

G-Dragon came to sit 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQMMtWaEIn
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdXaGTAGH9
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgljnPwV1b
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX0IbtVnvu
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePBon4Aon0

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHYsbX6RGU

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c3CiLt10T

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9e7HLYNde

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EUg1GGAvl

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdXy3Ccz53

"Really?" the music producer asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPL57t7P0E

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3HcCcytRh

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbVpfPgmmV

"Give him a chance, 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEQbEct14q
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRxTPzGzLR
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGzpvQFfKZ
headphones and put them on.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVjRV0MMOf

"Okay, this is 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjzul8NdM8
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPqEvamaNp
join them and see what needs some changing."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4PGnlyWVC

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUcACdH1ef

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvM5CuQd4t

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0CVOi5Mgy

The others looked at me 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9vS3zSY1Q
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKEzmm6wmg
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1awqGaQW0

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUqMRL90MH

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8sOF3XVQP

"That's going to be a 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6HdkZGN6Z
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGucBmMKHo
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk4wE9F0e1

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgBOyPKJnS

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqLcaoOeju

"Okay let's go through the song," I said as everyone nodded their heads and sat on the couch and I went over to get the guitar.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemZv1Ht6mt

I looked over at Zoey 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvegIGrcMI
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeEKyQ0egd
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvRxDVEm2Q

I put a stool in front 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPCn1SIYLh
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC3551efjB
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa5HHmy9Qb
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTY42AkNgS
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUeLlx9llD
others.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalwkPU1QyE

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNLf9O6gYQ

Taeyang and I sung the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLiJNs6r9X
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWc2U1dKD9
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpIlsl6699
great and everyone cheered.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm5n9H4YIj

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBtfgczN1w

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LgpYiE3kR

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3uVxSfv6O

TOP started to rap the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCOEOMR6e0
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHioOu2t247
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLsXP1gWEP
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaquZIaPWnh

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEiDCTCGOK

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8xa8He7TW

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIJFmxngF4

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcLDBIFVCB

Daniel and Seungri sung 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGtvSJwYF5
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9eAHqt9OX
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpPcvtAl19
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfChcpfT74Y
clapped for themselves and cheered.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Pck3JnLF

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHUcJR0Cpx

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJmtVHeDUn

I almost fell off the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqfppAOMDu
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBnaPk5vrl
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjtoFAVFHz
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXELcKL88Qm

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7gTrPbqjK

"I have to say, you all 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDXq8G9Ylw
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFhMr2qq29
smile. "Keep up the good work."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrUVGQk7WN

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkiBzQslfl

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDdhftB683

No one said anything. We1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInO8wHdIpB
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb4qjZRUZG
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQwYTzQCtj
talking.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ827fZCbICd

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGN6fATUVM

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPt8fszs4L

That, I couldn't answer.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMWT9sDal9
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH8afKnUp6
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5JDPw38At

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG9rOOkD0l

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtwMPGIgik

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNesN06mx4p

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6J5gm2PUP

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhKecKMLKO

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mw53m99TS

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMuwJS3HB7

"I want them back here 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKPyz5zSiz
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vM7a5kUfT
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2TCyxNb2K

I gulped as I felt the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALRuLbW2xM
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BJWgTxyT6
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGSRKFyX2m
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHAHcLgZW3

No one said anything 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5zE0PTCoG
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r6M4lGSV0
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKLMivYI4Y

"Where could they have 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSGnRJM2A1
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79EfG8sdxb
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7oKZAk6VX

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQWWU0hGub

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9PumoM94P

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykDN7xrbIi

"Then we better start 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq8DPM0jpc
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS2r0HUqxh
looking for them will be difficult."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMPlB8yY7W

We all agreed to split 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbhAmWUk3g
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW1MP9wIUF
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS6qn88XyY
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MicPDjhy8

All the studio rooms 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bBGWYmI8M
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn26vL3Zys
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yWkxZUDFb

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TCTttzCp5

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoPEzmCpxJ

"Almost fifteen minutes."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH8Yq8eMMH

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SE0VBgkua

He nodded and pulled out1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKUrlGJ0PG
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwHRzagQ2y
walked out of it and came towards us.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPFdAjPOK0

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrbBOvVRx3

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1qJpX3MnC

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlCQyx0ZZy

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV395zSH4jP

I looked at the time on my watch. We only had fifteen minutes and Yang Hyun-suk was going to kill us all if we didn't find them.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yAWEoUTau

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl5jb3I3li

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlXBr0eF1r

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIwBGTyAlU

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Xw2c14If

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaICe7Ubb9

I hadn't said a word 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6shJdX56ER
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQDSoIbx5H
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKwTQfvpx5
but worry.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjeNsTM2IL

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2elNKEa10b

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg21GslaC3g

Daesung motioned his 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlR1Qy47BU
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYP9V9AF94
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVmGhWChVH

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5JrB7lWYJ

Taeyang and the music 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFVhyac4gk
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1gHKrx9al
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu025XfZf2
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bcsIqoBfX
and angry at the same time.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDzsafuuFg

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpeFNH1d9h

I looked over at Daesung1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uHof0nUlY
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtSQelVfAq
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwO2cas0H7
the play button.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMapKlx2io

***1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxR5KZJxzW

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nv4Tf8YRw

I came crushing back 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQSYZG7YvD
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHr8bL7JnQ
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTkPRyOTOm

I had so many mixed 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ854KzeYq8h
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg2erbVbIC
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLX5QZ2C13
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA66tDP4LnU
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLxCQYkZSr

I could tell that the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaQwZcu8Az
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBP1KpKqEZ
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ztn5QQFhs
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoaVWCibWP

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExlPNcyhu8

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe200dIJTI

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoi5YNqjom

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdTxRcQN6H

I folded my arms and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChf8Qyfa6m
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArlRvxokT4
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLi1x2e60s

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxybhAfAIQg

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvwtnIucik

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoLgCQ3YDj

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dmVx4tFDQ

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFTzzSl3K0

I could feel the others 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn1ITLo9x9
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pgXIh0fkn
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCZf3NxyGf
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhdNQ3w5A0
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHlvkgNYUZ
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS07t6btQP1

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUqquH2eSl

"Okay." I nodded my head.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUQMQEFVWa

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfLMNY81At
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rTFEVgcxP
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aFQnBbSbH

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygC5X5vlo2

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnnQWwrulg

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGyMlwo9gr

"Not until I hear what 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYqRy1gZNW
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL9h6oRBvy
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv1OA9iaJc
trying to calm down.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWggwknpv4

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1TmF71tLZ

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04GTJQPI26

"So that we could get 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZs2pJjlNI
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEHVCeCrro
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7qs5ZVMIu
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsh2AkBHNJ

"I agree with Sam," said1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxmAKVX40n
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gWws6ylxl
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGtAbrqN4a

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj86SjIwztF

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNvojpDytk

The rest of the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG0MhOdM3A
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRNgIdkChb
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdKmrKeGaA
playing cards.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcZV3b3RsP

I was leaning my chin on1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeTmkHy2YS
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5CcONTzFY
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR982bn4Zof
especially to me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpLtKqgABm

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByoDvPyNlb

I suddenly sat upright 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI3EoQO5MM
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSoEJidnfg
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ304fEJmcDr
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1DlqvdL9W
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Pso8gjsh

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcs1cTc228

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a85JTf8Xp

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmFRZLDmPv

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMd650bO4z

"Maybe we can just order1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ClTkT1sFW
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVYvdwLCyO
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk9k5pGb13

"Good idea," said TOP. "Let me tell her right now." He pulled out his phone and just when he was about to call, Lee came in.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ofph4qVET

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqirBD6S6JS

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpRkEtJlqU

"I heard that Zoey and 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW9Hhw3ofD
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLzq3VEy5w
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw9B9VvFup

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsi7R8KkSy

"Then it's a good thing 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDe24wbm1Z
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1658v5CXl
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUp1GSqQFx

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwGE1GPf2F

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4xYQ6y1JY

Everyone soon dropped 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4OFyVme1v
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NOSwObrK0
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ49ed7aVS

I had never eaten pizza 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ykyzKzgD
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZYJfL2Dmn
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvcj2pcSef

We were done finishing 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9d4tUh3Ts
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqFDciPVju
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmwI0Wkr2H

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDb7PolAUr

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpdFiEagh9

We were huddled up on 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yEXopd8Ce
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJYjWPtAXC
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sR4kyZ7eY

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXgdzAbSxU

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAfpfUBVWm

"You lied? About what?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMdJfHN7aE

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuElrpgQIdB

"But why?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb1XnsQeoi

"Because, I had no choice. I want to know why GD did this. It's best we know and see how we can move forward."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsqqzu6sSl

I finished my slice of pizza and licked my fingers when Lee asked, "don't you think he just did that to get back at you, Sam?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0IJPyNYQ4

I didn't expect Lee to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q4W3qXP2P
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvpIqyaifC
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRnoOGX2so

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6OrnwNt3e

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAsdCun2xX

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQhwsjHxt4

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNNKUDzQmL

I stood up from the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DLJ62lfgt
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPARiENycXp
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrjcKeAy72
later.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQMZyUVQ7O

Trying to find the right1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5MYLWLjmL
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutzVEeRb7k
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8qkzeIKMN
what for, was the question in mind.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvcwxS7HFH

"Aren't you going to 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH9tR75CiU
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGZSZr6oK3
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGMskzaBRt

"I doubt it," said TOP. "I was here with them when they were writing the lyrics and the two of them looked fine to me."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcEVEJToiD

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7m3jRCnN0

I looked at Lee and she was looking back at me with a scared look on her face. Using my eyes, I told her not to say a word.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWOCPnl2Fv

Lee went on to look at 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdaFTLKKvg
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOlLDUjFG0
just thought they might be arguing again."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRzBm6ld60

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf8saryIzv

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmt3IDW0iN

"I don't even know what 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5MfRMjZxd
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh18aQO0Xih
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTvYKUyXq5

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7pF9xlQiA

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd5CvF8kH8

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElPRwJsORS

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcfeUWvgfH

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FJBJI8i2Z

It only took five 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIVzcHpkXX
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneQKi3s1DC
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55vb9ca2ZQ
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z82pT2ly4

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6EPMX6MSu

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXbrQSxau3

Still, no one said anything. It looked like no one was ready to throw the dice first. I cleared my throat and looked at Lee.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GtWJPC11L

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOKY4aDcA5

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pmf526ouN

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIgDrcOfHg

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy38NagOqe

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7CmdrjGto

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgQUsR9Xpc

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yxbvQolS5

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4c5dDs3wK

I tried to keep my tone down and my anger in check but I was boiling inside. Any minute now, I might just blow my head off.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczLHVM9nki

I was expecting an answer from G-Dragon but all he did was look at me. I kept on coming closer, my eyes not leaving his.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpQ55b1Qnp

"Why did you this?" I asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9zm1Repcs

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ic4pB8g5w

"If you didn't like it, you should have just said so and all of us together would have figured something out. Not what you did."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJnvKxnXwF

When I got closer to them, I took out the USB drive from my pocket. I took G-Dragon's right hand and placed it in his open palm.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQz3zhDgAH

"The instrumental is in 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY79DWvMKW
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOGMNywLFf
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrUVyOKkV3
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXGTcIZBS7
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqNXbXEAEN
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXfb2TQM3M
pissed."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw2wHMePcj

"Wait, a minute," said Taeyang as he came up right behind me. "He first has to tell us what's happening between the two of you."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5deHZP41yr

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIQyXkUZKK

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KAvMElOIE

I looked at Zoey and she1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKZB0JygrM
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLeNdLNyOw
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dy7fwIGJr
was mad at me for.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YjnmnFqAp

"Now is not the right 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU08GwoZIf
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM4r34vtae
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrOagpW9cJ
understand.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3JbV9fsaJ

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflXqAYfcvQ
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVlDhwg4su
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLPzbO0jPM
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x9W2vT7Zu

"It's about time you guys got here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned towards Zoey and G-Dragon. "Hope you had a perfect lunch."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ecpjhNJDs

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbojsVXbyXY

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5lP14fIqV

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4jXHvjXj8

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeggLIL0VY

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH3YBQrPHa

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBZC55OcQT

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBURZZbr24N

I paused with my mouth 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5hHabe2PA
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH6NWk3pS7
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbqdYxSe8j
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkdWvgoZZj

I looked at G-Dragon and1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRtQcHHx4s
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoz7JlxlK2
face wondering what he was thinking.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SUUpVrs8b

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGqBHcE0xU

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq849cYa4sN

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Ao9auOvT

I smiled and Seungri 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU62eIvrDx
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdgbMj6lBd
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQsZuNnEL8
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPJaMhPq95

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9nG6qzeFu

I smiled a little more. 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IKmfV4CHw
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzHjVLthqt
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DxcIGN8iU
were at war again.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0se4Gq2kDr

"But we can't start 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtmi61J2jW
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCdUIZZqRF
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBTuOFV6Qh

I sat upright and alert.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkQHWyuh9X
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCRj9cubz7
have to record the track the day after?"1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRALH1pqp7d

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39nZOpIrj1

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4xJq3cddI

"But why didn't you tell1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMC0u0fMIy
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUbubOBTYF
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiyHZ8PNEa

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDx7jEscKf

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAESUNZcbDF

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBRGqL0KjH

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5tLqjmMZ5

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBIWA0Tp3F

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjsuFEshm7

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDIgdkIk9q

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv99zfo6bh

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEkqwDQMC4

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRoyR2nbyc

The two managers and Lee went out of the room first. Just as we were about to walk out, TOP stopped me by holding my hand.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KgZBRxHeD

I turned to look at him 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ3wKedKRx
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr1e8s14Xu
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88R33TdYfQ
me like that.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKTvBP1Do3

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrIGiwHMfc

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vp7cujzHp

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6X0cBASX8

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI1181xpBF

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsIRgNwxZl

Zoey and the others left the room and I was the last to walk out. I didn't want to look at G-Dragon, but I did.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq94m1XPVPo

We looked at each other 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBrkeD6ajW
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4F27vHf51
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pJeNTKXO0
Maybe he also felt the same.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J2Tbj3TrV

But I wouldn't know and I wouldn't like to know what he felt. I walked out of the studio, closing the door behind me.1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJBeKtoGmu

I then realised that I 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8tMJESdqr
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNisTVMPBfT
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1066Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPWSkUZHgN
another time.
