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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgkmPsLyWO
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN8wOwPYQo
"Wow, this place looks awesome," said Daniel, who sat beside me and was also looking out of the window.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtePa6tH1IP
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWctCa9SlH3
"I know, right? It's like a dream come true that we're here," said Christine, who sat behind me.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5INdd0IDB7
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSSme7qtLD
"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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDrh1pipxY
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGNElwKP4X
"It is," said Collins. "Beautiful, isn't it?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y4CSV5MTx
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwQSXN53Q9
"It sure is," I said with a smile as we quickly lost sight of it.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pEbLUsazo
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJpTOAt09f
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZa8KitvpO
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZbCtKof9x
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJNMTRs9Ey
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5PlhlfwzH
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Daniel asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7CnwCraw7
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSR5DAT2tq
"Yeah, I am," I said, trying to pull myself together.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogU7s7kz4x
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvJEsehtVY
"I know you've never liked this, but The Toxins aren't The Toxins without you," he said, giving me an encouraging smile.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvXEGFRJWt
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGywurC7fyB
"It's going to take years for me to get over this."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGcowfJ5nJ
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGVr2PmlgR
"Yeah, I know. Come on, we have to go."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJBAT3Ye4T
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPM3BAtPXC
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP8G0ro9AN
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqk7SQFGz3
"Come on, we're all waiting for you," he said with a smile. "Take my hand."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45DXZjjyQB
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYJHqRq3Wn
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANZBswobKQ
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11jmQQ4ZbU
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNq7QMcIdK
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEULVPqHpt2
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmVvG4nKoL
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaHZ04euwb
"Woah, relax, B.K." said G-Dragon as he smiled for the camera. "You don't seem too comfortable."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGGcbjGeze
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRM3oKxjLK
I blush. It looks like he read my body language. Well, this is embarrassing.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPiJonfoiA
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm9fatm3wu
"I don't like getting all the attention," I told him as I spoke in his ear.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB38mqgV5r
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jG2aD4SuO
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR0vO1aPlu
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhmqNmgaMi
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzbvpBga9R
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxOUcESBAD
He gave me that irresistible smile, and I felt like melting. He left me utterly speechless.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjhy3fQqXk
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxXna9Iv4C
"Come, let's join the others," he said, and we continued to walk hand in hand down the aisle.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl23O2NtDVD
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZL9T3DbUQ
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP6COnHhV8
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevZczbnmbF
"I think you can let go of my hand now," I said as I turned to face G-Dragon.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqLJVq2joV
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUll2TJcvp
"I let go of your hand, or you let go of mine?" he asked.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv96IoHlHA
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kR523OA50
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYhqgFjnsY
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD0gIQCbtu
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?926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXfVZ7xMOq
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRX1fhZIwu
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvTwIEfXZe
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0gxaHtEvX
"I see that Ji Yong is troubling you," said Taeyang as he came over, breaking away from the others.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdYkTmJrYi
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjWmcm8fUY
"Well, not really," I said. "And here I thought Seungri was the devious one."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJAhE9wRXw
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt6ZwdKBI8
"Don't mind him. He does that all the time."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXN6iP5cIU
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfssVVd1ziB
"Does he do that just to make any girl fall for him?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdARTKcHEl

"Not really. The thing is, no one ever knows what his real intentions are."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo5odBbwxA
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLY8m8wZFR
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." I smiled.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD7kC9rMvi

"Yeah, I'm definitely screwed." I playfully hit my head with my hand, laughing nervously. "People would start to think otherwise, huh?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy4Uxoli7i
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxE23EzrZt
"I don't think people would come to any conclusion. You just met."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMFWsmnlo7

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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwb3K0DSY1
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurxR280Rbw
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfefrUZFoMZ
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWWIoTnL3E
"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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsU8LC14Xq
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYkeTD03pV
"She's so cute. What do you think?" I asked Taeyang.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEh5Lwa7j4
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4uXVGhgI1
"She is," he replied. "It seems she likes you."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3GfXzWGFl
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WyR4O6Zkf
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRafLSIXzy4
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7PLoc3iSO
"Is this for me?" I asked softly.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGQlwemS5t
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk3YIIDZ2u
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMuKWrKqbI
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzJex5SByu
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCQJoBfxkf
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQN7ZJanKb
"Sorry for the trouble," the woman said to me when I got closer. "She can really be jumpy sometimes."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTwfSTvpFB
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnirxiG6MI
"No, not at all," I said. "You've got a very beautiful daughter."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5J9kBcyPu
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhnF6agc2X
"Thank you," the woman said with a smile.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr6a3bPkg3
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngCrGeuDEM
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaKk8sxqdb
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYukHBO21l
"What?" I shrug my shoulders.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4n4G3EFhD
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd1tX0Ne6z
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0RRcrIgOZ
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlygKUyjewo
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask him.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoVTI3RlHZ
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynGBKru7D6
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcT0iwUIF1
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2oGGr0V0B
"Or she was just an adorable, cute fan of mine that managed to pass through the guards just to give me a flower."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMdNJC7YyU
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBmGg8Ntf9
Taeyang laughed, and I blushed even more. I looked the other way so that he wouldn't notice.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP0MymU8Cy
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBEImV4P1l
"You don't know how valuable you are, do you?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP52OHMjoS
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BkLE5e2LW
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFktF5zr3ZE
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV124tjEFX
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov3VfaG8UF
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqD816Na2Z
"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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwW1wEryLb
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNiUFhb1Dl
"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?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8B1T6Xvgu
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8Cd0xHWcX
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEq004qo42
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq8JLDrVvf
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey, who had a huge smile on her face as she headed for the elevator. Christine and Daniel followed.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oFf0LlTbA
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiHbGIanNd
"I better get going," I told Taeyang.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkQaQZTzC6
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJofi409J9E
"See you tomorrow, then," he said. "Maybe then we can get on the dance floor and see who has the best moves."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zpo80sesl
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9DuL4aGYW
"You're on," said Mike as he walked past us, joining the others in the elevator.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n8OZc3dI2
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6va6g8ce3
"I'll see you tomorrow," I said.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu8pBcJNeM
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE66Fx1eEaY
"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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVSDUq3moM
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVpIPlbXSO
"See you tomorrow, T.O.P." I turned around to face him as he gave me that bad-boy smile of his.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwyQMoxTgp
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfOp6ImKT8
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW0w2sW66O
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEyT3W9KvG
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, my little black kitty," he said softly. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he said that.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKlaBP0COf
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oMCVULIwF
"What did you-?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLHuhiLDkc
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZjWNNECjj
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNjBtHDcLp
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirPEi1UmUu
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1SysgWDNk

"What just happened out there?" Zoey asked.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHwSVAeIJW
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pIwUlc0Rf
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiuONQZHAV
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLCGOLeRI4
"Hello, B.K. I'm talking to you." I felt Zoey come to sit beside me and shake me.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy52g6wV4u
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRiXFhdmwU
"May I please rest?" I whined with my eyes still closed. "You know I'm tired."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDczvRfGnUo

926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl6NoHaM0w
"So many things happened today," I said as I opened my eyes. "I suggest you be more specific."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLRGkBtlBM

"Let's start with the time you were walking down the aisle with G-Dragon."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdaDN2GR9d
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYcTYhA6dr
"What?" I sat up. "Don't tell me you are jealous."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A4UlYvTet
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6dMvuedep
"You heard me. Start talking." Zoey looked at me in a way that my mother would whenever I did something wrong.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUePoGhmoo
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcszYzCcocg
"You're jealous," mocked Christine, who sat on the other bed opposite Zoey and me.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm7GzhYmfR
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Pko26Wpe
"Christine, ssh! Come on, Sam, start talking." Zoey looked serious. That didn't shock me at all.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq54VnVAnIl
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXR5Q2IYzb
I shrugged my shoulders. "It was nothing, really. He just helped me out of the car, and we walked down the aisle together."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRkjN2SynJ
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhqmBxzBXt
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtkF4riFDC
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMRSAgtN9n
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvns0L8CFg
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1MB4DVVVq
"I know," said Christine. "We just met these guys today, and you're already making a mountain out of a molehill."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzm5fMGVRT
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQzdodaj41
"And you think Taeyang wasn't drooling over Sam in the lobby?" Zoey asked. "I thought you liked Tae."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwCupa69jR
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ90yn5xjF
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfyZp4Qmf3
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ub2gXnW1x
"I agree," I said. "You are one hell of a drama queen, Zoey. You can have G-Dragon because I'm not interested."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerBh1lkQ3B
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpQ8nQu5FK
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I might have been a little jealous."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8LyIy22Sa
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVB5vE2fXg
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpI0NCDEy9
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IdOZvgrmd
"Please stop doing that; you're no longer three." I laughed.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9PznCvzLF
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrvdxZsL7K
"Whatever. I'm just excited that I'm finally in Korea," she said with a grin.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPFmB6urdR
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1KcfvM8Jk
"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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiIY9Av7zC
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnprYycxYU
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ514thlybh4
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBCWHYNFGP
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5CPwpfM2u
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBl71IpaWP
"Hey, are you okay?" Christine asked.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ufJIWo9VX

"Sam, you're everywhere, like everywhere," said Lee as she looked at me. She clearly isn't making any sense.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknX1QTBS4l
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhEieIT54L
"I'm everywhere? What do you mean?" I asked.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVv8IR7wNX

"Pictures of you with G-Dragon, the time you were with that little girl and Taeyang, everything. People are just talking about you!"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82eQ3mQymH
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDfBLPzQKp
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoyAACYFsN

"Wow, I'm not looking forward to seeing the entertainment news tomorrow," I said as I continued to look at the pictures.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFeiI6x5pT
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagKnHnxybu
"OMG!" said Zoey, her eyes still fixed on the screen. "There are pictures of you everywhere, Sam."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj0hlVllYK
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtwOizkoBu
"Nah, we're all there," I said. "I'm just a little unfortunate."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4NdpVYMpU
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kUSOCuTFm
"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?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ7JjMocYh
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcVO6HoFKc
"Okay, I better shut up because I'm clearly not helping," I said as I walked back to the window.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcn8ZJu9co

Suddenly, Mike and Daniel came into the room through the open door.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnTfqSmP45

"Guys, you're supposed to knock first," said Christine. "This is a girls' room, you know."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bNk0V6Uwp
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyszJ2e4P9I
"You won't believe what's on Facebook," said Mike, completely ignoring Christine.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6Ga40juvM
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGEb4NpcXP
"If you're talking about Sam, we already know," said Zoey.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7XamBqzqC
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHph84RqOWF
"This is annoying," I said. "I didn't want this."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmq6P0nzdM
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeiGO8w8W4
"No one said you did," said Lee. "It just so happens that you caught people's attention."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDwMNnb7K8
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdxpuSOhjf
"It looks like you've gained so much attention yet again," said Daniel. "Wait until Collins sees this."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVESqfNqwf5
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gc4r0lK6U
"I'm so tired right now," said Christine as she yawned. "But I need to have something to eat first."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIKzFQeJO3
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOhzaK2pCD
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcptaC3mSDm

"Staying here is fine with me," I said. "As long as I don't get my picture taken putting something in my mouth."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScuW5uMBs7
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqp2MZB8PJ
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUo4N6KtLV
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNBCbL65Mv
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgQP1XS34I

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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vGzfr7goy

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.
