My body ached all over 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QbDx2iD3K
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ2pGpqolD
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPF2f7yfhc
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJyzM0q73E
bed.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhADeRBl3r
I scratched my head as I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYek2KJ0uE
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhLLQvIUpv
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjt1g4pNC3
he found me here.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM29bkdAcYA
I slowly stood up and I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0JNDRuHkk
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81hvdBWKnd
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PIvUT4f8Y
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqVuThFaUB
"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWYrGUa0vI
I almost jumped in 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1plsTpHyCg
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90kOjDTwOR
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MctIOxcwO
obviously reading the news online.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVMhbKqSrZ
"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DZ3uJGf0N
"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RZPEsXEDm
"'Don't tire yourself 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttN8d0Ovu6
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoG2lwilcr
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nn8YhHGn1
"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6lJpQiase
"Oh, you were listening?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4wjgIx0tF
"Ya, you kept on playing966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDofkSOYGwo
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgjo955sMG
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2ht1rpDOv
"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuUEwWrOdu
"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2plrQdVXXY
"For covering me with a blanket."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZDgjbpfEb
Collins looked at me 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEGTthkP90
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaTP8NHWAp
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb4qP3fCWk
"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw5XqbLONj
"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQOckr7zeV
"I know," I said. "I really miss them."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mSbBxO2O4
"Me too."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3ho9Ih3vC
"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjyhUNMItE
Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8HX5IurL1
"Going to take a shower," I said.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu99k9Fz5k
"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVosSkFLlde
After I freshened myself966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i6iK3f5Ez
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCzYcmQZRt
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KF8jqYCnI
Collins was still on his tablet.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4iMJ3pffT
"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmP9Cw8auT
"Nope. Just looking at 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd8EHTPbDw
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmOfAc1iaa
coming back late at night with the others."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLgs6rHbmW
"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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRlU3T86fa
"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVtRdlKJbV
"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpaS51Q9d1
"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjzjHXteuN
Collins handed his 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVnjZnIGnL
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnJO9Jrgaq
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCR5RPkwGh
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXBQKohKPR
having a great time.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfktXHkjIdH
"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62TuMnzutP
"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65cVN2Ja6S
I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqOw3bwUcT
"They should have as 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5ktQatk3R
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4v6r3aEEo
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLxM8C9nRw
"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmZMdkuTCU
"No, it's not about the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHKlIGty6y
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOdrFYYraR
they get back. I'm talking about something else."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqZM7ynJlV
I looked at Lee who sat 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zfm8Bot24
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudVKPLYhir
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E700UtW1u
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomewB939X5
"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcwtx3KcMC
"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTOj25R4ZD
I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0seGPzt6IN
"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC65fCT1Nk0
"If I tell you, I'll 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF6RFppvzE
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTnROG5NdU
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4fyEURWCk
Collins got up from his 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrqObupISO
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNvXGptKaG
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCm5ZpgLYd
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ593QvB75bU
"What do you know?" I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09JRvvW6c1
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgelwhqfE2O
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMEhoEHhWq
detective asking questions to a criminal.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR5Xoi7arf
"I don't know," Lee 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELOTPWXm7D
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKGLjeYqd6
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KAnpby5bW
I knew something was up 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJde3BYk6iM
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRBKeU9FZF
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmi1crtak0
"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJHQMLHCl
"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIMkYu9rJU
"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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMSjCxxFKA
"Hey, what's wrong?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVhHi8xXrq
"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzddMPluKd
"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Ry1lvdtI
"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vmc2QrRNG
Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6oQ3Ly0hr
"Well, kind of," I said 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMA9XjnVEN
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESigXhYPR4
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyBHcehOxs
"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5c4KPyzSH
"Okay."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKwzEOKmOq
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW1OX9PYl3
Lee, Collins and I soon 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY60exxUTH2
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPMsbeZlvH
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ080lO06d
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZbC3uuXDG
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD6ZijrBFx
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg9p8Lzv3I
I was waiting in th 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDi6EnJDWJ
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbH6oprH2C
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡialtPxNsRZ
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1VoPSXtnV
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0lLUvczXF
I was pacing up and down966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4jueDpvjH
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNAt2i7ZCd
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtszjUWtRyR
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwb4WQ5uR8
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bHwIrDO7q
and I was so nervous.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaPuNLu79e
"Here she is," said Lee,966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKFWoBhHaB
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR7wKabD3a
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDcVTgjHQZ
you, Tae."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmgSpuZP4O
I frowned at Lee and I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MO6S50H1C
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2JdRB8FES
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh6LnD9r8e
friend.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97RBFc53Pf
"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtUksjprIb
"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ371rqyVtY
"I told Taeyang that I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8vGbHlgmO
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXudCnJP5t0
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DGKHN8v4N
"Our manager called me 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI51i4nsqyG
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU8B7BkTuj
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB2RTf3v1X
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZQ6eGGv9t
"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1QRwIT1dZ
"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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DtVs0nS3s
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPPg9UNjoj
"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvt8yjLm1O
"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE7mtHisQT
"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JWwXwTq1v
"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitvdUCQsu3
"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5uvL7UHrP
"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziuzFHJPTA
"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUvt2lbC1G
"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTELC7YIujP
"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz8sUrgw49
"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DLUSUxvQZ
"Sure."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU4qNSbxK0
I gave Taeyang my 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wt1jWuyyT
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCCh9qXPaB
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvj1SPAcPo
cute together.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBeL9rzq4p
"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."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd2DGapLAs
"Thanks. I was singing 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGehg2H9yj
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx77NH2Leoy
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6AXLryVdJ
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxmbw2nsXr
"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0WS48DhwP
"Well...not really," I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zrKFQY65a
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqCViNh6DL
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEueau6FDoD
"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVomMIMC4A
"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueAF1Uec7a
I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBnwufq6Sc
The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNg4rVDZC1
"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvr5bzf2kO
"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDK2SGo4J5
"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHS0iScUpA
"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYFvoJY2HM
"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lvBJ9zjBP
Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwWcBTP9i0
"Right now."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1sB2KfToJ
We all turned towards 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGAqh9Jkdw
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm7vkfpLsB
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHYXopWM6j
When everyone got 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkC3W6CmFy
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkHGBn2gGP
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTajwYXUbcV
run out of the room.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHITeksdkY
"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzBTFUZd7S
I nodded my head and my 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWSaCxmdYa
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5ahDoG9yG
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8A0wV30jx
ever got to play it.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxklSEuqfvy
I felt a break of sweat 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS5DOdKreg
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCn56PdM1D
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ857jjaHoEv
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkhiktT0KJ
strung the strings on the guitar.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8oOX9W7o2
I started to sing as I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4H3jJfKBS
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PaBVi3kEU
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNyxNHa5Yr
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjG7AuiT76
didn't. Well, I hope so.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZavn35TmI
As soon as I was done 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnVJKefqKd
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt62Pk6SIw5
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMb0BTdLzj
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Gs1O0mOo
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3zonEMSMp
hoped they liked it.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6QYICaZRM
The studio was still 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcL7XCuXVK
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrpAV94kx6
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5AqMME1Nh
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjcjrHCSMw
Yang Hyun-suk cleared 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvZVsIJVEd
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv3ILt9fy4
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yb8P6afKq
"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7ZERKTKLA
This was it. The hammer 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLuQ0LfWoV
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDNCoIH6jz
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0jFU1NFS5
"....incredible."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsPfjEwo6S
I opened my eyes and I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUAD0J36km
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D2fMYwu1Y
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0pMtOxGIL
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQBp5wWVIn
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jonqDALAX
"I've to admit, when 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1aA66hpVA
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxj5aSBE6d
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RejFXsPzI
"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwya9SC7CfW
"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZJ5Bp3KFa
"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjfIe5lkSR
"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nd2QlvErc
"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ53VlKwHgZ
"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYmcOUoPEc
I couldn't stop smiling 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4XjxYWeyf
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1guf4AJLMz
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtRkBWPp0S
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFB6W5TD4j
good voice and a golden one.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy57igCgkiA
Immediately our managers966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVqgIQkZ6K
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ut7vE8vPV
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8BCvHEQXc
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXbO74XP1B
musical instruments.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6bwk9sCVI
This was always the hard966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV3C0yb4Bv
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9WK5RPKoj
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJTbxFJICm
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwRITm8Qg7
to use auto tunes and electric beats.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDT2WFd6E7
An hour had passed and I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4wTKr2tOI
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr5FjxUGru
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHcbRn6z5A
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRLjokBWCq
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58hdNmLeVS
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVQ0pSTf7y
"It's been an hour and I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs6cOwEB9N
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfB7XO48hV
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcda46rDbK
"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s6iwPLPOE
"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmwgiKZ0iK
"Trust me, you're so 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DPurGuvqv
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wGawl5GX4
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UXqwqUCwE
"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgfl9hssGG
"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmunXcYUQXc
"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5VCl9Wlp8
"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QFi4rIT30
"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaMEwaNzKt
"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1KRXhwk7k
"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlFTz0Gehl
"Mmmm." I murmured in 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gxVecbaC5
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXOeILre6R
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6xeCQBL8J
masseur."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfIyzZPHG8
"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN482PdD0U
I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZq8aXqmLp
The music producer soon 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQz5GE4fwp
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RtlcmqWbT
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCeFtIVI4J
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacXTH4jxGn
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc3R2zrc43
recording the track.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rGWa3l7j6
We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGjvUMeA0A
"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi7axhPqQh
"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMuJ4Mx6jh
"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj58ibRNSJc
"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbMkZUBg6w
I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOvYtfffwg
"I'm busy, Sam. So I was966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfv4JiRRoj
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb9H8pFupv
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsZTEmD3eD
"Let me guess, you're 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0kjHvyKZi
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtSsKCwqDn
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleLaBBJCzM
"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz6AfBpr9a
Something told me his 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf22lugHmZ
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu0CKmNDl9
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuumhas5eu
always does.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgq4U54Sfh
"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsni2xFRge8
"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUrEoVT09Q
It was late in the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h6dM7MFMB
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU9kcXAsax
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRTzCUz9Ev
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F5JpL7CXM
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDUza4swp1
"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAkbbXHVvm
"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbDpFY4nAN
I looked beside him and I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH0zXZ9ivZ
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytEDFf2LyZ
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObyFNdRa2u
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9owpzq402
leaning my head on the console.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMWDnKFMSe
"I always hate this part966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN4DXOhpMv
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwArz63uun
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe5KLWPdxY
console.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5FP9GHMdJ
"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nDPWpdhPe
"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRoYTEC0J5
"I wonder what time."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0mBVOPv2i
"Wait." I pushed my head966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsaZwuPMJN
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlPZjulu9K
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QqDe4Iwvi
drunk and the world around me was spinning.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGEDqlZkHM
"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQPiTsE8vZ
"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn6CjOvQUI
"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKMRFKZMvJ
"I didn't sleep well 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs7ZHyS0In
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag7cxVKEWS
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSAYIzIo9b
"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCn9sI9k2W
"You're right." I soon 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdrtFn5PMh
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5iLaWz8yh
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojeWnidEnt
"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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5z6JgnoQe
"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgU4HflwIC
"Alright. Thanks."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC94sHm4FI2
"I'm coming too," said Daesung.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VVkdgcr0C
"And so will I," said Seungri.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFypOeFPoJD
"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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pqw3PBn1W
Immediately I left the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqzlcvM8jB
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetZBP1q2Cc
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B0SXAKXRh
"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7peBcsCLE
"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kN715bQ5f
"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWDvipv7i6
Phew! Taeyang hadn't 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC12lHM5yVb
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx6xtmgw6r
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78E11aLtBX
The next thing I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZPqC7p3id
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vh7eFZYZj
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARR58aEXCa
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE99gRX1Li
I woke up by the sound 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ryPUKXVD
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HOv3MoOox
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KmnpmQBHI
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS2v3lwQhU
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYu7Ybrhy7
I reached out for the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ614Ua3R4nJ
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokHTviF2kE
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0TuoFQJta
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvbiY00TD8
I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizTI9Dn8qM
"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLKCva010m
"I could hear it ringing966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rIIC0zv7E
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4fVHQAMxk
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozjK6WwThz
"Thanks," I said as I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamYchUHayB
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpUZhuif8R
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivhcX6WEB2
"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfXxT8mcS4
"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6z5caU19a
"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM1c7Dm5DO
"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqmm0V1szT
Lee left the room and I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbpiZUt5HG
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIIpJ6xm0B
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuXxxd6TNr
"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuRnEmUslb
"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ne00hYGCk
I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9YMVxVM4j
"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdIsGfGrdp
"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk60yOnse7
"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNyfEED7Mv
I dashed over to the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzlarqU8yg
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbXXudBuE0
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyHldYjudD
It was now 10 PM and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ77vWGHuhh
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tDZxlU9IK
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukfTjQ2l05
they were right now.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDApAULXdSG
"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3xZ2hlrgD
"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbnkr5ATTZ
"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd3rLW3luX
"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHuHdvtAuF
"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtyIQqfXph
"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabvOdnFOJ3
"True."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5avBzYKc6
We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcEJCWmGTy
Two bell boys came out 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ZlIslvfw
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qZo7SPtXH
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRnd2SOHYC
"Zoey." We both said at the same time.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlTNyNmOGo
There were so many gift 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDnDm58pIy
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo5Oh42ase
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay0S0N7d9w
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzAXEEc3KZ
so pissed.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ389KocWlmg
"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMq4s1R5IA
"They are downstairs," he answered.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFrHnzMyB4
After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6QH0jIasb
When the doors flew 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUPggJCY3u
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOr19B1JTV
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGbrMXmIHD
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsRoSULndx
"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw5ekbiUoG
"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5azPBHJwOh
"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrVeAJFIHq
As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q2i2XY2bB
"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZNKbfZCL3
"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI02zXKbff
"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0hx05P5UT
"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpJ7bctCaH
"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbaQVrZbv7
Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lkNp52rrL
I raised an eyebrow. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFBSx54axm
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA83G0H8ZMq
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmuvptv3aC
"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?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9WvGCTYHM
"Everyone just missed 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5iGdlHrlN
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCNsodegmE
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qy0FO5hDX
I rolled my eyes at him,966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsM4uuuDC5
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rq293q0n6
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm3J2kGnSj
face when I hugged him.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJJoD02YNr
"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcd9nNDaXw
"Wait! You missed TOP 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qkp06VJwD
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6OustFwDn
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37sXEwDAiq
I always loved it when 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdxOMfyEyA
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLSZdPJ2Hw
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTS13SKUJq
"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwaZ1LLFia
For a moment, that voice966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hSNoM7wi8
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1IhmCvVHL
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cDP7yWIYZ
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB0r7NVjML
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssEm19G27j
he was still acting the same way he had left.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlDHIEDyT3
I was really confused. I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca85WaLCS5
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM6jKilquQ
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmQlczHLjB
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E4EjCPetU
personal and it had to do with me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqERz3mWNd
I had no other choice 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpK4CnhdG0
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35vWJSKLSg
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel80xQfSU7
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCPCGJUV6q
"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDh5JUtTRx
By the look on his face,966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTDkzl300P
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKDYh5syAV
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtPR7LlRKP
going to end pretty tonight.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Co2FDJaLa
"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3TMfJlMtj
"Ya, I did."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cU25z20vn
"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aVS2eQxOg
"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7tYXEFe4x
"Can't wait to hear it,"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X1aPeEF2L
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NwwjEc2GK
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUd3hVbclM
"Anything for you, 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLJSTWE9Pb
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KhjXojXNh
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCMdaMvkrK
look at Zoey.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQqogpWlww
"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4uO4EaiMO
"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7KkAW2SwM
"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLI50TmuVh
After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqzYrKOS6R
"You know Collins is 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18lFUcyZuz
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPczH45F7S
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM65uBMEAh2
floor.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvHPhk7lDu
"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvicdi9MSJH
"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gKpIIQVug
"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u8IkHyxR1
I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYL6D4S2kj
"We better sort out all 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9v16fjRE1
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89GYC6noAv
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4eNq4LjN8
floor.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kbr2ORdLW
Sorting out all the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cqX3Fner8
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8M2VTehA7
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMlOGPyJLc
had really bought a lot of stuff.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BdpgLeXEq
The boys had brought a 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE9QtK4QU2
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TyKHrCORK
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynE5Vuizo0
expensive designer shoes.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0glgzHxVP
As for Zoey and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4haaSxCNW
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO2w6xqrxg
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fx1SWpcFS
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AW7Qx4hPL
"G-Dragon was helping me966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUwDNL7PJr
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijcV1C3N7W
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvWXbGHuBT
"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZSRD0BURO
"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5yeKV9lCF
We were sitting on the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSaKGLbefu
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1UYhbRo38
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobVNpgyIZa
stuff with Collins' too.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eAGlGLRvX
"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Tz2o8TqK
I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CaCOX7Gg8
"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjKDK1RaMm
"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iXxzBJlDH
"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJfkUMqPHG
"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVJiBTNIGS
"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY25ZZ1uct
I distributed the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAonVV0SMlV
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnoVU3A4xg
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnnY979iRx
was meant for me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CbQIGV0RG
"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTk7lUowcV
"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."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVnmCLEkgq
"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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHQ11cDQys
"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF3zXOI8CC
When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb8Jiu0abZ
For a moment, time 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EYbngmyiU
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSLynH8ORH
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCNhjkWaus
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC4SiTZQjk
mess.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ5aVK02Kv
"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpvydU37Wb
"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnAAaimsCl
"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTa2JrgPbP
"Hide," Zoey whispered.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49NUn4izXW
For me, it kind of felt 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkk3a66AFG
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Twl5xaXE
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ303pQNM5wm
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8qdemPELi
When Collins came to the966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBX9riWkux
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou15c4MoQ9
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBbcw3CbJ9
he just couldn't.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWe1DYWQeH
"Hey, Collins," I said.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwkuQGTVac
"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0tngl9vLW
"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zWTUwrOzn
Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1ksH8Idlj
"Thanks."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TGEzJMuoy
"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbmnFvM3yR
"Who?" I asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KGcSHEY4Q
"You know who I'm talking about."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHtqY0LyAM
"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXkebZm8L5
"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6AoST3r6P
Collins went over to the966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUmbHjD8l4
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4yp73RK83
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfPdvBKsQe
up at him.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLArPg79l4u
"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGRslEtLZv
"Where are the others?" Collins asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaqGnYDFEc
Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm2OHY102v
"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyBSxOdPFq
"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGxgYpNpyN
"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwc9ZyTjKg
"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaDSdQloQ7
"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSJoZpFofh
"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAMN4WnP7v
"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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnpLIdalN9
"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg1xvlIgn0
"Here, we brought you an966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNnqEEvSBz
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEpc2ReALs
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jEgC2krkT
"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4GhwFDWk6
"Thanks," said Collins, 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVEsdNX2iK
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKotmYaxAmZ
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShsMhhwnDx
Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwDE6zDsMw
"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JGWWibPpl
Lee was right. Collins 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCUlLJXUsR
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMicYWJ0ZMn
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gQUTmfaPZ
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOC4sHabMk
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16MT7eruax
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP6bsrDDRO
"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6lAlMqyI5
We continued sorting out966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFVi3IzsCd
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVZ5BMuJSb
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADGhIBTYkI
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLJLkB5WiE
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYFtpE82rX
already too late and we all needed to rest.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMQj2zbDfj
We hadn't managed to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVHB1hn59S
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXTJ93xYVN
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qJw4M694C
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXYxsUCpOo
course.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer0FGz4weZ
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwHnuBwCi8
"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkvZuHdpCR
Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHhHthKTMY
"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3Bi9pQKLl
"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUYCRYSorw
I looked at her with an 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKcZauVUpA
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMhIBEIW5S
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcOSCgVSHZ
"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONjlvDHxwh
"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CcIny9ZIZ
"Fine?" I looked at 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqXtTrrVmc
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4p5kIhZwr
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz7qBONZyM
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBGKNwRKA6
"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tNT8DbOxV
"Tell me, please!" I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajEBQRk0iQ
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23fmVgwAWm
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZBzIoYp68
tell me something. So tell me!"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd0jSKTOzJ
"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaBgmKcghs
"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6yrE18xEo
"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR0wgO61y1
"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."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81vcVHukb0
Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw3lQDxuYd
I felt really excited 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd1QCTj9pb
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4qZP5Lvia
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD9r2PX2TX
"I don't know how I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC8JoFR5Ui
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz80gT7pTA
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZst0CuGFi
Tower."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKDKLU2gX0
"Ya, I saw the picture. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4j9upVqyz
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g1Nyo4wZU
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo21Kosw8ZN
"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhEaJwOFYt
"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE2qryXQyC
"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."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yWRvWVqIt
"What?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p8SWZymjr
"When we got to the top 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5punliiLjI
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTTJ9nOniV
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphJEGcTzXq
others had left and it was just GD and I."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLNy4hVp30
My eyes grew wide. I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMRlJdcDYW
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOQounhrHQ
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdTjzjbYrV
"You two kissed."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNcSsZWPVF
"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6Wqhb3i02
"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4br1tlm494
"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2bLoVqaMn
"Well, you were in one 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfSjJAZf2x
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1qNfDUZcL
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D8q1LjzA3
"Smart."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZJmYtraej
"Thanks. So, how was it?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxasc1XtTj
Zoey smiled like a fool,966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdA6PBTSvK
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPIB6f1BbF
it was so magical at the same time."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ344zKapUyo
I couldn't help but 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcJXn70wtU
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP09lI0ptqq
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZUPnZvNxu
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWUm7isVaW
everyone at the prom.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTg1AJHmrG
"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyVN8Bc0EU
"So you guys kissed, and then what?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp7E2k0afP
"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fSDKoPw28
"And? Anything else? 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFIhYvT3mG
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmW3HutXVj
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg9JWXHCsW
"When we were on top of 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGinagO9rb
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8zKkkxBhX
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G2qNKTNV0
Well that's a bummer. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKM2uvf94r
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvLltGkL2L
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFHBud8oDW
really liked Zoey and not me?966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTMRBqaqUz
I brushed that off. Why 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfKeRs72Wd
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogF4LVJlBY
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeL2vYbm4v
hopes up with it.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQtp4syR6Z
"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlwxdo8xxK
"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzDJKfO6y4
"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvSok8Euqb
"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIqAapn2rg
"Thanks, Sam."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ2XglcVni
"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPgeqvcqzR
"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX0Xx3q7C4
I left Mr Panda on the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuooVGd75WD
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv2OqPfqzO
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pMntDiM1a
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zSL1csb66
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA01bhjLwM
"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbiNZrZLBY
"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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRndN2ei3Ma
I laid my head on the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d0oZModlf
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkvHQJN3bw
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw2Jw7MF3Z
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueqI4FKfkp
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkxIr7JuL1
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TD4AIFH9M
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAsAyHNeSj
have been.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaIyVlBsiD
Zoey would have only 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ez9ubAA1
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRNYtwYxnN
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMPYdAqaZG
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoksPECVFS
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ke8XE7sWy
I pulled Mr Panda closer966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NPlvPQraL
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA0FijQx2U
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g6uIxFg2i
***966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRiAuoJWaW
I was given a round of 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4y5enK6tc
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55hazMDcvj
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIjdOXuG94
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlQRaNiWOk
"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ojgsAE07
"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPFXnG6uuA
"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKOHVWQCfw
"Then you better eat 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQav9XztYr
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFanFjGmSlc
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS4woOVLW9
We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnUtVvp9DW
"I can't wait for us to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBAo9eH75Z
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTQvGFxOL7
beside me. I could only tell why.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0cWu82o4u
Christine who sat 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzswYDYndxv
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwaQ2xNgO6
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFUakXBvB2
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQqE66cJup
and G-Dragon.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL0LRVEZdF
When we were done 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLldCefjMT
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rJ7RHaMV8
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTAZxzLFGt
"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphlGSRnHDj
"What is it, Zoey?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmda29PHnDU
"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlSEwytUyp
Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecG4H95BQg
"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc9VPan1gh
"That's the problem," 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkR9XtdEUj
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK1erPIZqY
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JV5H4WGpN
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWwdpM10T4
Mike turned away and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HfXynbjPO
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUyI1bfq4C
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XnDz3lq89
something?966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW05bPcr19e
"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtQtGMlzFA
We agreed with Christine966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndBg4mNuvz
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RdTq0U26A
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8kqRfFFHf
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzBo1V9HQD
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw4q8V3wxZ
"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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW4v2ThtFc
"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnym6Qt8md
"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJI02EyTbO
"I also feel like I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPaKxWXXwy
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSssUuINp4d
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qZLvX7iWc
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLspiySEOd
"Do you think we should 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkpZsalvHn
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwOA47Pxey
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2iAWxBOYc
"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpv3tQpED3
"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf78ibEByQ
"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFHIR9YgMM
"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2bjeVlaz7
I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIlYsLYt75
"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ3RUYTQdN
"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI9E6vfbqu
Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN7QJUeY8N
I stood up from the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks0anf2Fvu
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K9tlPLUwX
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRme4fzGM5X
conversation.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gV7PpewC0
When I went back, I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3S2r6iKLM
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjduxM14avc
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0fUHAlp91
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakaBVZFN7X
"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXxj00iiMd
"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnK2yEgq0W
"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM6LX4PDQh
"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXJkER2ZmH
"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrU4mGMyvh
"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjBtiwjKpJ
"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsZnhPUxF2
G-Dragon gave me a weird966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuou8WOtacx
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x5hj1lXVd
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR3oAuAnhG
took their place on the couch.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvJMBExTmb
"Christine and Daesung, I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr6lMFpEkw
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUCeWbwfUM
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5KpPVmPTw
"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF604X78Cr
"Ya, we will sing the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ802aqhBjeq
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogt5FghlxC
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUdJP2ctoo
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGUflBQFYB
producer has the lyrics printed out."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1idhQCfyz
"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhlabRCbZh
I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXhWnFecLw
Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZtVPecNQp
Then we all went over 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV2N6OHxxY
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cVhG4tt8e
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfgPvxSNUo
"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2mVb96WdQ
"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXU1XNY413
"Me too," said TOP.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEuHxUqU68
"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Nljej4fp
"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTK8bxSjPR
I didn't look up at him 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUoVcAUvOJ
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOqG6C6XKq
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JeXTl8AQR
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalsplYMjSZ
"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEgezPHkF4
I started to relax my 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPRGtmyw46
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDYhnLZs3r
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIfWAD4Pxw
"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwhFwY0juo
"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOAbjGxAJ6
G-Dragon came to sit 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC68yNWH8Ot
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ570acxOZTD
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCmNZxxA3L
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAds6tAOVu7
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vXX94yTK7
"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwTEK0Oe9h
"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX1dWtyu5B
G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuIvrG1tOG
"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHk932yscT
"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvQ8fXrU4e
"Really?" the music producer asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBh2N6K9DT
"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42IhGB5zzN
"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlKbWz8w38
"Give him a chance, 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeEnrKM8Pu
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRES0lbxzFu
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuYnohSnFt
headphones and put them on.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw9xg0vWMh
"Okay, this is 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95lncoTWSX
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKlsuA9A6W
join them and see what needs some changing."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89FrVt6Rhk
I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggTccaqGvy
"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJNrGJNGO
"Chill, I guess," said Mike.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwFYzAIPih
The others looked at me 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK47iJGqp4A
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwYL6I2QVK
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Bf43sdGt
"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSxEk1AaCU
"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHPgZHRG4W
"That's going to be a 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cT3dyqdta
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFwV84WOpw
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8be9bRcUFe
"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTk6gclJQM
Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmsfxE7M2k
"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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVSZQgx7bX
I looked over at Zoey 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ69SAa3NPR
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv9aWUxEG4
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhKYTuaf8Y
I put a stool in front 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wOLgeksEx
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgNOI1yGgz
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlVQ6nwfu8
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ykrFlN5G
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN1Tb9Uh0G
others.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77C0Qrmjfv
"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaHzFnK7MR
Taeyang and I sung the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67K83fTJ1L
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87CuBxDLN0
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq3LwSdfxm
great and everyone cheered.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2xhHQUY5C
"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud9p7BAw9p
"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1SQbd5eCy
"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrqn2WSaa3
TOP started to rap the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DvCSrrAIW
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNj0iVAdyN
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Hwx2FLax
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV61f9Zg2r
Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAsCgYwmNA
"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QjGN9evQU
"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx5sqVRGkl
"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rmOfOfX8R
Daniel and Seungri sung 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMgWW1qQDJ
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXe4pO9XaI
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueS7ys4X2F
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C8g13yvcj
clapped for themselves and cheered.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFbG5vVBmE
"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16OeP5vMkn
"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre22Vud8Za
I almost fell off the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk4OswKwo3
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmQJjJO4ID
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG6mUcJxbF
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOj2lLnweH
We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe9jn1AWuV
"I have to say, you all 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoliTjatmv
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthJlBvOnfm
smile. "Keep up the good work."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs6HHCGQoU
"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvW5PIUbjP
"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSGq9TFUxs
No one said anything. We966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK2xNSS6vO
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhUODJzS0v
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABXMYowiyz
talking.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2LwWvQr2Y
"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6B3emMYmt
"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡool4lSI0De
That, I couldn't answer.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTetL4Vbmz
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeJz89nVeG
listen to the instrumental ourselves.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyIIxEdR6A
"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvWUbH38Ny
"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqvo6Wdv9g
"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymT7hGo7vb
"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXseeQCX5k
"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v8WfaMsV0
"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdm5oGIYqY
The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBg8gBgBSI
"I want them back here 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBo8FKcoaT
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0fG8HKovh
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLYQj7eNEU
I gulped as I felt the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3jIR7Z1nQ
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd0wA9MAVq
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFUVvqVQUM
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY83YEoAu8p
No one said anything 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFPicBm6GL
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu9vtxTLQP
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb2Rp6WpjT
"Where could they have 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0nvllhjWE
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ647sk31en
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaPgaEYsDf
"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7s6pJzGLk
"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVuNISoV2C
"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pmLfvvu9f
"Then we better start 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpukMKSATNQ
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLN0vkJJ2V
looking for them will be difficult."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb6zu5ZerR
We all agreed to split 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuTTUROXM0
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VnLEQA7Rs
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrR7UZkRgn
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddzCZTTA32
All the studio rooms 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIINWcHaRy
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSl8eIW0Qe
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajFfrLINA7
"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIoWrsGFaX
I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPvonbCSIP
"Almost fifteen minutes."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgwtHcoSqu
"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsK1gTLBBy
He nodded and pulled out966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7R3uQcQyq
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknkJxNJ90F
walked out of it and came towards us.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF8kbqaKb6
"Anything?" Daniel asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL8MDNPX6O
"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOrBWYZO3o
"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aQ5UAd9X9
"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX9RJRE9OZ
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8CzenJGVy
"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7tOTpFBCe
"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1fH5kafOi
"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeRXip4zE7
"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxpDcsGtPM
"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJXAv20LGs
I hadn't said a word 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZyQc0wGmk
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyJfBzq7jV
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5PZu17PWj
but worry.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf1NwzRIMO
"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftkWL7BcFC
"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdzKAVfGXd
Daesung motioned his 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFGruoboEn
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dqC62P2aQ
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxd6qY4kOO
"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZWIA4gFo3
Taeyang and the music 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTCTaYPKuh
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLrhqGIdRw
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwUrjatgPB
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R3JYoTpCC
and angry at the same time.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EDiB4Modo
"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoyDhD8ZV8
I looked over at Daesung966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrcbtlhwwl
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXnoDxRU9b
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIjdgpmuag
the play button.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI7nbBhCNM
***966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1EUJ8i1wx
"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Vn0Xmogq
I came crushing back 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOT27jsqHg
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg1zzxnx4q
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouDbKDqvXO
I had so many mixed 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4dLFMKjtU
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdChVEqcTt
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMcGaB5uEJ
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOmnRc7g7o
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEV6dkWXst
I could tell that the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yyTPg1tKk
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEUViMKUwq
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYIpN0WyKI
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdqfBB54nT
"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjyZWzZ8RL
"They aren't here," Daniel answered.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUbF5BXyO8
"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgXuseyE4I
"They went out without taking you guys along?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTLYKvJVk2
I folded my arms and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKYZaLQNwM
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftmInEB89v
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGJGFLm2WW
"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAgNjzeKsc
"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk1Fo4jmmg
I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ6X7EhrCD
"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiubT1sNXaR
"No, we haven't heard it yet."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lTtXsJoYm
I could feel the others 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95AVpqP8tw
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjTXt7yH2k
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLLRUlWMQh
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwjWWHQRLt
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbv7cKY8lh
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIEyfyPWJR
"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxGYvKHIhc
"Okay." I nodded my head.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo5sNnuvQF
When Yang Hyun-suk left,966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF2JINj0Ej
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcMnqlLeDK
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2lwXhauLq
"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX61NLXFrkd
"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4He5oi8WQ
"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtimVoab2gT
"Not until I hear what 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uq3IVNRic
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVgWzlIcwZ
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNXaegZeEf
trying to calm down.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZB0TN1D8z
"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E8UJ0mmKX
"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7nzL7iaiE
"So that we could get 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvM7nljkGf
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGl9EV3jim
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmjwsH8bZC
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI1BSPvUSA
"I agree with Sam," said966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9Rq3jdptg
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskcz9QmGN6
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfR28IY2K1
"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauvDRpwccF
"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELyMSRLFiT
The rest of the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrmWdGsriv
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0CFrjw3G7
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7ISBqtpNE
playing cards.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZsrPmePlL
I was leaning my chin on966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE4Bui7rnp
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxFOG5Yg55
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyz2jG5S10
especially to me.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEezyp0hkWU
Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBOQkFsunk
I suddenly sat upright 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jXzZ9geCy
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSiufC8k9A
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVXijY5m0p
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ204O4CpDsv
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAiLOKS9QG
"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhixAHVVHI
"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphQIATzLfY
"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINDd9HVAar
"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4QQwmB9oh
"Maybe we can just order966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTxJOoFo5W
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc3puebjkv
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgKj6GiM3P
"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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2p1Sxm2YO
"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcnKouriUU
"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLuTklFBc7
"I heard that Zoey and 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk9Lnxnwje
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Iai29qsA
out of his office window for them like a hawk."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWfAaq1vLu
"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5gwX28pLN
"Then it's a good thing 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfTmFIm49N
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VyJBLo7mu
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwmHZlsosZ
Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJXJuj5GSQ
"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOjnFDT87b
Everyone soon dropped 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL506QtJT1
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFb2GBgKEu
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwCQnpO5a3
I had never eaten pizza 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPirsrli0y9
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePmUYPgcjy
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqf8c6PG3h
We were done finishing 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJi935wROB
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzCM03OVt7
instrumental for the song, is that true?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiJX6wps2T
"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwoF1F7WrM
"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqip3TRLby7
We were huddled up on 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE6jyUmRHD
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTgLlGPIem
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1UscXDwyA
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9AmEO5mxU
"We actually lied," said Taeyang.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60GXYMIs4q
"You lied? About what?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7Y8uBkykq
"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0KTTjradV
"But why?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVEnzN1tcc
"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."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBC8edTDap
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?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMYWMPsGFG
I didn't expect Lee to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5fAWDATOE
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbIFVV5twF
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SSvcsEltk
"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqInz3VswXP
"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIOuSpbdp2
I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIjZS9G3Db
"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEFYaPaW2r
I stood up from the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6LCoSEtiX
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPMO0v8Rd4
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcme0bAMe9H
later.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHl7U7Ug9e
Trying to find the right966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuhfKFLOhO
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzThNJRnbl
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58XUAlV6Wq
what for, was the question in mind.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiZnfSmJzo
"Aren't you going to 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoY9LGwB6t
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR8lSxuTOx
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxstSfW9tU
"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."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmtzVPAYsQ
"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaE0fqnuKz
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqeiUwhi6D
Lee went on to look at 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e0a4vWfjw
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YE6GufJtT
just thought they might be arguing again."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkZSjYta0O
"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkwcNlAfJS
"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu2LHDUCOv
"I don't even know what 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhU8wTEvdF
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWu96sRRTq
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtljQKtqu40
"They are here," Mike announced to the others.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUkgncIofb
No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqwS8yIShk
"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtzsJezPa0
"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDgbj6IH9y
Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI3xHmU9lk
It only took five 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVSCdeLUUw
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiILGb6Uti
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Q6ogrsI8
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ujDPS0t7T
"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi9ql643Fk
When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxGafiLAYP
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO34S529Gcn
"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A36WR15Ah
"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqUo1JmrKu
"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcfRCqy9vX
"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEvx3flLRm
"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IGVKRSPaB
"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNT7XgauRZ
"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI32ELVUvQr
"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oa3FsCVMY
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO6EKQBeB2
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN8ihlPU5o
"Why did you this?" I asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IokIGLvQs
"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDZqaMct5p
"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."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHt9IHfOtj
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoY3Rp5PcC
"The instrumental is in 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FaLgmN6rt
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18aVcqDT9M
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWM56xKlLi
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf63evJ6ILo
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7nlaB6UCf
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkzejqX9FC
pissed."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauK99XLjAF
"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."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdHaQNI7H2
"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMylKXUPc2n
"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEebNiDAdg
I looked at Zoey and she966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SMsdkCyKb
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40HrKmdW3p
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5HoTzgA3q
was mad at me for.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLHDKEBVFz
"Now is not the right 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBTKpitA0t
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMgtnGwYvH
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfZJojSR74
understand.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgnoNlFPzW
Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Obs2Ar7yj
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9dcMtjVwy
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjLBXd0PaW
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibT3d3wyoS
"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."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJCIJK5bgP
I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpADdENbqXA
"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK61UQYH4H6
Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB1OvbZUkI
"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h6X8Ou9VU
"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabNdiPBtQT
"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E4F2lNT7d
"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tv1hSRvTD
I paused with my mouth 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qjyZiZchG
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf0mYqxxrw
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtylWFdT0Du
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7omUZEORw
I looked at G-Dragon and966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPuRixdEtZ
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CPXhtooKU
face wondering what he was thinking.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUpMPvPX55
"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsWvw8e8LZ
"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOZWSgc41x
"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNylhPhIHP
I smiled and Seungri 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9iTr3UbQN
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBUtdWGIp0
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KMC8uqxfF
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZWHhipYlQ
"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9y3MSqnS0
I smiled a little more. 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjCRrDrDm3
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9YcPHi7ab
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQWSRSfPKn
were at war again.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSRSgFEfxe
"But we can't start 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiSKYJbEA3
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2bPCqyIvd
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDBDOANuYB
I sat upright and alert.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyjLrjHpW0
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySNCHumwwc
have to record the track the day after?"966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BMuw3TUzr
"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OGNz5dypB
"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L7ZaULQb6
"But why didn't you tell966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAjxJkRgDH
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXVxUuiJnm
was then that it hit me and things became clear.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S0bhJUK7I
"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhgwCSgaBb
"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3gNM49wOV
"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Gv5GNEF1
"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40RfHrML39
"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooNBUsm2tH
"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFyYouNHUx
"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1a47fbMyg
"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMh77aupR9
"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNp5x4qo8h
It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ11cl52wG
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxixjsARbDU
I turned to look at him 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFuzotR7tQ
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzVU0DONwW
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRGjV3nKV8
me like that.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0y2ugBj4u
"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFq69N5Syw
"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGQV2S5Gvk
"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOgBSea49e
"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTfeFCPxlF
"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72TKfdijkQ
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz0orZfkWj
We looked at each other 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HZHu7sDK7
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK2mvOIMxs
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDC3mI2vXE
Maybe he also felt the same.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEHSczG68F
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.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIrZJVdk28
I then realised that I 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmAT7WcPm3
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdxYMH4djc
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfked4mx0Jt
another time.
