I couldn't keep my mouth closed, and my eyes were filled with wonder as I looked out the window. The car we were in drove through the streets of Seoul with the sun beginning to set in the west and the street lights starting to brighten the streets. The city is just as beautiful as I imagined it. The beautiful skyscrapers, bright TV bulletins, and neon lights almost felt like home in L.A. or New York. But the signs and words on billboards made it quite clear that we're in South Korea now.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT4xLYi8yE
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4atmPZ7x5
"Wow, this place looks awesome," said Daniel, who sat beside me and was also looking out of the window.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR4foBBHEU
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61b7KcHvY7
"I know, right? It's like a dream come true that we're here," said Christine, who sat behind me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXgrxfMGzQ
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38k8azLiHv
"OMG, is that an ancient palace?" I asked when I saw what looked like one from afar. Before coming here, I made sure to Google some wonderful sites I would like to visit. I had a huge interest in ancient palaces.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTQiGMYRCo

"It is," said Collins. "Beautiful, isn't it?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EvQ9ZAskX
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ243kb5o6U7
"It sure is," I said with a smile as we quickly lost sight of it.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT8I8ED1Uo
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUx9nlWR0e
We continued to follow the car ahead and soon found ourselves at a beautiful hotel: the Seoul Hotel. Before we could get out of the car, bright, flashing lights came into view through the windows. The paparazzi. It looks like news travels fast around here too. These people always made me feel uncomfortable.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoNevwiPwA
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6CM09cmol
When the doors of the car flew open, Collins and Lee stepped out first. Mike, Zoey, and Christine excitedly followed. If there's one thing they like about being famous, it's the bright lights and attention. Even though we've been in the spotlight for almost two years, I'm still not used to it, especially dealing with the paparazzi and reporters. The attention I get from my fans is more than enough.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwKPEK0NHV
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93NZEaEOmd
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Daniel asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMblQ0HloW
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYWDOQiQxd
"Yeah, I am," I said, trying to pull myself together.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdI4xZPNB8
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8zh6qhCAG
"I know you've never liked this, but The Toxins aren't The Toxins without you," he said, giving me an encouraging smile.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU4q64xOO5
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8tGIDmQaC
"It's going to take years for me to get over this."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC91nHAjQHM
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAtfHsPBRw
"Yeah, I know. Come on, we have to go."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsc3giYGGX
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAhyO3JLwT
Daniel got out of the car, leaving me all alone. I take a deep breath, getting myself ready to step out. Before I could even get the chance, a hand appeared before me. G-Dragon is standing outside the car with his hand stretched out for me to hold on to. For the moment, I can't stop staring at him. I looked at his hand, then back. I don't know what to do, and I couldn't help but blush.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyOmEj1MmW
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLmfemMmGU
"Come on, we're all waiting for you," he said with a smile. "Take my hand."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlSFl51ovN
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb80WHj6byz
I continued to look at him, contemplating what to do next. I finally took his hand, and he delicately held mine, slowly leading me out of the car.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRQLLJLnLO
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyTNFyHp70
The flashing lights of the cameras turned on me immediately after I put my foot out. When I fully stepped out, G-Dragon stood beside me with his hand still wrapped around mine. The cameramen and reporters were calling out to me to grab my attention. This is the part where I always try to get over my irritation and smile.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FN4hbBWPC
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cs4NoPM6S
G-Dragon led me down the aisle that led to the glass doors of the hotel. The rest of The Toxins and BIGBANG were already ahead, getting their pictures taken, but soon most of the media's attention turned to G-Dragon and me. They kept on calling out to us, and we paused to have our picture taken together. I am already losing my nerve, and all this made my body go stiff.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkhRBj32Ly
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ877vJsRsDT
"Woah, relax, B.K." said G-Dragon as he smiled for the camera. "You don't seem too comfortable."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdum8FrSe7
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI5jyW9MiK
I blush. It looks like he read my body language. Well, this is embarrassing.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkPiWpN9vB
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP6kYECl5q
"I don't like getting all the attention," I told him as I spoke in his ear.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrENudFd0M
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLOP82kHwD
"You deserve it." He said this while he looked at me. "Just like the whole world has their attention on you, you have mine too."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPLXn5yKLB
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKMLefF1ap
Is he flirting with me? I can't tell since I can't think straight with all that's going on around us. I hadn't noticed that we were so close and that he was still holding my hand. Likewise, I wanted to pull away, but that would only look rude in front of everyone. It would also be a juicy scene for the media to show and tell.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm17NEbWyIe
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fHo7xLkJl
He gave me that irresistible smile, and I felt like melting. He left me utterly speechless.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8IiIkm8bo
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkhmAA7NxN
"Come, let's join the others," he said, and we continued to walk hand in hand down the aisle.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh52sYunax9
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfFuRyKQJ9
When we got to them, we all took several group photos together. Afterwards, we went through the doors of the hotel. The media remained outside as the security guards barricaded the doors. It's always a relief to get away from those vultures.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBoXwZoII8
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADK22roVIg
"I think you can let go of my hand now," I said as I turned to face G-Dragon.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY9m2zstn5
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ckqf2BZy8
"I let go of your hand, or you let go of mine?" he asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWA5g3vLUg
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAktIrriJ2
I got confused, and the smirk on his face almost made me lose my mind. I want to look down at our hands, but that would only make things even more awkward. He's doing this just to torture me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWaeC33WUE
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVmOuMu3Rf
I quickly slipped my hand away from his and folded my arms. He smiles and walks away, slightly brushing my shoulder with his, intentionally. I let out a sigh of relief when he left to join the others. Is it just me, or did it feel so hot in the lobby that I couldn't even breathe?954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli8v0epkMX
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob0qabA5x2
Collins, Lee, and Yang Hyun-suk were by the reception desk, checking if our rooms were ready. The Toxins were huddled up with BIGBANG, talking and laughing about who knows what. They all seem to be getting along just fine. When I look around, I notice that the guards inside the lobby have made a circle around us. People were coming from the elevators, and others using the stairs coming into the lobby had their eyes on us. Some even had their phones out, taking pictures and videos. A small group of teenage girls were excited upon seeing The Toxins and BIGBANG together.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKbbLaAbNY
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsElvGcgNZ
"I see that Ji Yong is troubling you," said Taeyang as he came over, breaking away from the others.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1NG3n0Bme
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbz6XXdGjM
"Well, not really," I said. "And here I thought Seungri was the devious one."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gToLFrjDT
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkd0Js7ROu
"Don't mind him. He does that all the time."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFGFmXm1kb
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kalTUQXTo
"Does he do that just to make any girl fall for him?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEwUZwQnDG

"Not really. The thing is, no one ever knows what his real intentions are."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTQoUBqv30
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZz2aQzIiW
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." I smiled.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9HEiZYnOy

"Yeah, I'm definitely screwed." I playfully hit my head with my hand, laughing nervously. "People would start to think otherwise, huh?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgDxrDkjNu
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn0CCTPcA9
"I don't think people would come to any conclusion. You just met."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3msY4lICgP

While Taeyang and I continued talking, we soon heard noises. There seemed to be confusion outside the circle of guards. The next thing I knew, I felt something grab my leg, and when I looked, I gasped.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmETXZy471m
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvub2dV4zi
Holding onto my leg is a beautiful young girl in a lovely white dress. She looked to be three to four years old. And I am captivated by her cuteness.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SgYqD7x3D
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyXPNHQ8AS
"Aww, look who we have here," I said softly. I went down on one knee after the little girl let go of my leg. I gently held her chin up, and she gave me a bright smile. Likewise, I smiled back.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIwt4jmAiW
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWqo06EwgM
"She's so cute. What do you think?" I asked Taeyang.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1LBWLkic6
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa82OFU98zE
"She is," he replied. "It seems she likes you."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mBkrgPdQB
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FKBlFPdr9
I smiled at Taeyang, and I looked back at the little girl. She stretched out her hand to me, and in it was a beautiful white flower, which she held by the stem. I looked at it, then back at the young girl, whose bright smile made my heart flutter.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkuHAc6rke
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyOZJNzCRs
"Is this for me?" I asked softly.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjtOu4fJoW
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGoaZUtIbm
The little girl nodded, and my smile widened even more. I slowly took the white flower, then carried the little girl in my arms, hugging her.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ju2g9Zatp
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrnBb1Bg2W
I noticed that all this took everyone's attention, and people were either filming or taking pictures. They still kept their distance because of the guards. I stood up straight with the girl in my arms and ran my hand through her black, silky hair. I start to look around for the girl's parents when I see a woman standing outside the circle, staring at the girl in my arms. It seems like she's the girl's mother because she had a look on her face only a mother could have. The little girl looked on at the same woman, and I made the connection. I make my way over to her.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCZBMi6HTd
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KDV7yHXNx
"Sorry for the trouble," the woman said to me when I got closer. "She can really be jumpy sometimes."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjKX09jGM5
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONQqrgxJrn
"No, not at all," I said. "You've got a very beautiful daughter."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZccqO2w2m5
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv1NunEQ4N
"Thank you," the woman said with a smile.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh1DgHotHc
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOFAT71eDd
The guards standing between the woman and me made way, and I gave the little girl back to her mother. The girl waved goodbye, and I also did the same. The woman took her daughter away, heading for the elevator. I looked at the flower in my hand and smiled. When I turned around, everybody else in the circle, including the two managers and Lee, was staring at me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC291xQExjq
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPekC2uh0B
"What?" I shrug my shoulders.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZK56LaoK0
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKZcpll5x
Taeyang looked at me in a way I can't describe. I can't tell if he was amazed at what happened or at me. In any way, he made me blush, and I felt uncomfortable in my own skin.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWyoClF2X0
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPvQyVnGzV
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask him.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJGceu0hua
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemckAnqfAO
"Um, nothing," Taeyang said with a smile. "I was only wondering. That little girl really likes you, and you seem to be good with children."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7gtB6ubFe
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiy7bnvX81
"Or she was just an adorable, cute fan of mine that managed to pass through the guards just to give me a flower."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSz2TEs4YC
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZJqhlJZnX
Taeyang laughed, and I blushed even more. I looked the other way so that he wouldn't notice.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFWpvjWjcV
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AkhquLbrq
"You don't know how valuable you are, do you?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrTe6Klage
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECtJ0cB08c
I look at him, and my heart begins to race. What did he mean by that? Somehow, I felt like I knew, but I didn't want to acknowledge it. I looked down at my feet, not even willing to look up.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVMkKLKKw7
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa672SmyLW
I felt Taeyang hold the bottom of my chin with his fingers and slowly lift my face to stare into his kind eyes. For a moment, I got lost in them.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF34RyQ7DC
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJCxLJGftN
"Did I say something wrong?" he asked softly. Damn! His voice was like music to my ears, and I felt so drawn to him. Wake up, Sam, I told myself. I have to snap out of it.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WMT918kpD
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxSJ4EDl0Z
"I'm sorry if I did," he continued when I didn't answer. Dang it! That sweet voice moved me again. "But you do know how extraordinary you are, don't you?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j24o8651S
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hpb30QtGx
I swallowed. That's one question I couldn't answer. Luckily, Collins announced that it was time to go up to our rooms. That's a relief. At the moment, I wanted to be as far away from every BIGBANG member as possible.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wENnEAnT9
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOcTOUZXKL
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey, who had a huge smile on her face as she headed for the elevator. Christine and Daniel followed.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAouYeqHXLj
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFrtlk47Bq
"I better get going," I told Taeyang.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2xoc2Xlu5
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmhQHOBx0L
"See you tomorrow, then," he said. "Maybe then we can get on the dance floor and see who has the best moves."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalPBrIvJi3
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YYa3hPa7Z
"You're on," said Mike as he walked past us, joining the others in the elevator.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEtRGrRmr0
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKY1xcCMt7
"I'll see you tomorrow," I said.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Nj0cfCYn
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfprae5QIBF
"Make sure you dream about me, alright?" came T.O.P.'s voice as he came and whispered right in my ear. I didn't see him coming, and I felt a chill run down my spine at the sound of his husky voice. These guys are driving me crazy.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB7AXDzoyh
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtGirSd12F
"See you tomorrow, T.O.P." I turned around to face him as he gave me that bad-boy smile of his.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY0prZh5gu
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWXUp78TBA
I said goodbye to Daesung and Seungri, who both hugged me in return. G-Dragon came over, and I wanted to roll my eyes at him but surprisingly failed to do so. I'm not ready to put up with him again. I felt like running for my life towards the elevator, but I stood there, waiting for what was to come.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjipidD8v5X
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjicrg1yEb
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, my little black kitty," he said softly. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he said that.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWhoM4CkIH
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEADJQVtOK
"What did you-?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbMER3lFDa
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ITY3qrmmT
Before I could finish my sentence, G-Dragon quickly pecked me on the cheek. I am so stunned that I can't move. I didn't know he would do that, and it felt wrong on so many levels.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcSfPhe85q
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw6vz04Cmw
When I gather my composure, I quickly walk away and join the others in the elevator. Before the doors closed, I looked up to see G-Dragon staring at me with that corky smile on his face, and he gave me a wink.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE4iosWyIs

"What just happened out there?" Zoey asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLlVnLoGtV
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XBO8h2WpX
I threw myself onto the comfortable bed, landing on my back with my eyes closed. I want to forget all that has happened. Furthermore, I feel so tired, and I need to rest, but my mind won't let me. And so is Zoey.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI8UI7mH1v
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BCqmeJRJS
"Hello, B.K. I'm talking to you." I felt Zoey come to sit beside me and shake me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAZXynfU5B
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2Q8mvjcJS
"May I please rest?" I whined with my eyes still closed. "You know I'm tired."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwD9yeUIbz
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR3Mon2xum
"You aren't resting until you tell me what happened down there in the lobby."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWKUbrHrWQ
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC1msKr4yQ
"So many things happened today," I said as I opened my eyes. "I suggest you be more specific."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rix6hSZgT
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft393Bhn93
"Let's start with the time you were walking down the aisle with G-Dragon."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2v09OLZa8
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSZBSYOBvH
"What?" I sat up. "Don't tell me you are jealous."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftRGqqgK8L
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbRifyE9Yu
"You heard me. Start talking." Zoey looked at me in a way that my mother would whenever I did something wrong.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhgGnvI5WH
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PkgDaWD99
"You're jealous," mocked Christine, who sat on the other bed opposite Zoey and me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqogOC5VF2
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB79CnwqdJl
"Christine, ssh! Come on, Sam, start talking." Zoey looked serious. That didn't shock me at all.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrNVylYPtZ
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqHRY6EdRN
I shrugged my shoulders. "It was nothing, really. He just helped me out of the car, and we walked down the aisle together."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYumTddFdLt
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOWfEeqkyp
"Really? You two were walking down the aisle like newlyweds! And he gave you a goodbye kiss before we left." She sighed. "I wish he gave me one too."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUZ58T8rGh
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKs7aFB0vG
"You're overreacting, Zoey." I roll my eyes. "It's not like we'll ever be in a relationship. Apart from being friends, that is."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFVVaelp7w
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX15YWLSoA
"I know," said Christine. "We just met these guys today, and you're already making a mountain out of a molehill."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqxkKfkcEM
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3VGCAvAOy
"And you think Taeyang wasn't drooling over Sam in the lobby?" Zoey asked. "I thought you liked Tae."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJIgyY7l4o
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTPrzs3oPG
"Yeah, but he's already dating someone else, so I'm not worried," said Christine with a smile on her face. "I only like him because I'm a fan. You, on the other hand, are acting like once upon a time, G-Dragon was your boyfriend, and then you two broke up when you just met him face-to-face today."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCIjTGiL9G
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDQU1XLH4b
"I agree," I said. "You are one hell of a drama queen, Zoey. You can have G-Dragon because I'm not interested."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jgiPHtdpb
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U0CFBApxy
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I might have been a little jealous."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pFqZlqgbf
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLzZAXGARH
Zoey gave me puppy-dog eyes so that I could forgive her. I smile and shake my head, but she persistently continues with the look.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQQaKyWjEZ
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCPBwpRlwH
"Please stop doing that; you're no longer three." I laughed.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqgFkt24Fk
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqpCNKvOfH
"Whatever. I'm just excited that I'm finally in Korea," she said with a grin.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBJgUuIdpA
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbgCuW8Q43
"Yeah, me too." I stood and walked over to the window. The sky was completely dark, and the bright lights of the city shone brightly in the dark night.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImlU1rnMUe
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsBqGRFX45
"So, Christine, you're going to share the other room with Lee," I heard Zoey tell Christine. "Sam and I will be in this room. Wow, these beds are so comfortable." I hear her bounce up and down. "I'll sleep like a baby tonight."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfNXZ0vQRl
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJKJQLodxR
All of a sudden, the door to the room flew open, and Lee came flying in, landing on the other bed Christine is sitting on. We all look at her, wondering what's going on.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcLbrK7GzK
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9e1lmxODu
"Hey, are you okay?" Christine asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce4cHqlUFI

"Have you checked what's online?" Lee asked, almost out of breath.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk0AESCpIA

"Sam, you're everywhere, like everywhere," said Lee as she looked at me. She clearly isn't making any sense.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XQPQjvbLz
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJTdfePoos
"I'm everywhere? What do you mean?" I asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TyxTt4FWd

"Pictures of you with G-Dragon, the time you were with that little girl and Taeyang, everything. People are just talking about you!"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6WDpHhLup

Lee had her phone, and she held it up for all of us to see. Christine, Zoey, and I got close enough to look at the screen. And just like she said, there were many pictures of me and G-Dragon. Lee continued to scroll downward. There were more: some with me and the little girl, and others with Taeyang. There were also pictures of all The Toxins and BIGBANG members, but the photos of me were a little too much.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMxt7F4ljY

"Wow, I'm not looking forward to seeing the entertainment news tomorrow," I said as I continued to look at the pictures.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCM0Uzmgal
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lfoJK5Rh7
"OMG!" said Zoey, her eyes still fixed on the screen. "There are pictures of you everywhere, Sam."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk8OAGgyeX
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P7xLRD9uL
"Nah, we're all there," I said. "I'm just a little unfortunate."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TDqp84NwI
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulh3yXDc94
"Did you just say unfortunate?" Zoey asked as she looked at me with her eyebrows raised. "So many pictures of you, and you're saying you're unfortunate?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK6Red5ZFe
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEvSzkzoH4
"Okay, I better shut up because I'm clearly not helping," I said as I walked back to the window.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpu2sj1lMt

Suddenly, Mike and Daniel came into the room through the open door.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwFxlSxwxD
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowNGgigD4e
"Guys, you're supposed to knock first," said Christine. "This is a girls' room, you know."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSdeFSBp5p
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhRBiXCeMH
"You won't believe what's on Facebook," said Mike, completely ignoring Christine.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbiJuGq0c7
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOvy777hFh
"If you're talking about Sam, we already know," said Zoey.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldqzFHj6SO

"This is annoying," I said. "I didn't want this."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzwToNYQus

"No one said you did," said Lee. "It just so happens that you caught people's attention."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehbK4TSPDW
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsmsv3qlWN
"It looks like you've gained so much attention yet again," said Daniel. "Wait until Collins sees this."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULXamcztvC
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ92f2h1sEp
"I'm so tired right now," said Christine as she yawned. "But I need to have something to eat first."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuNEE6CrIh
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk8BuVdkif
"Food will be brought up soon," said Lee. "Collins thinks it's too risky to go downstairs since there are still fans and the media around."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ28Wen1zI

"Staying here is fine with me," I said. "As long as I don't get my picture taken putting something in my mouth."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fcyeHTjM3
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeApXgHEQRD
"Haha, now you're just exaggerating," said Zoey. "Just accept that somehow you caught the world's attention. Besides, this isn't the first time the Black Kitty has stolen the show."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTyza8RB4T
954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnDp4Mzi91
I look at Zoey, and I have to admit, she's right. There were plenty of times when I "stole the show," as everybody puts it. But this time, it wasn't the whole U.S., but South Korea and other parts of the world combined. I'm not ready to check my phone because of all the notifications I would receive. I might as well just flush it down the toilet.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhJrXo1BnK

Looking out the window upon the beautiful city, still holding the flower the little girl gave me in my hand, I couldn't help but think of what Taeyang told me down in the lobby if I knew how valuable I am. I felt like a priceless diamond for the entire world to see. Some people would have liked the feeling, but I didn't.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43qfOXaxAh

When supper arrived, we all ate, and everyone retired to sleep soon afterwards. As I lay down on my bed and Zoey is fast asleep on the other, I can't help but think of what will happen tomorrow. We were going to take a tour of Seoul. I am already so filled with excitement that I forgot all about the drama with BIGBANG, the media, and everything else. In what felt like seconds, I quickly dozed off to sleep.
