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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfA9pnzajx

"Wow, this place looks awesome," said Daniel, who sat beside me and was also looking out of the window.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthHqTtd5lH
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnaLh1VlUJ
"I know, right? It's like a dream come true that we're here," said Christine, who sat behind me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48BQ1vEOkw
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4sPk2vSy1
"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHlFBrTzka
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny5kiyDXIJ
"It is," said Collins. "Beautiful, isn't it?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nLuKTMKhV
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdKCMpZEIe
"It sure is," I said with a smile as we quickly lost sight of it.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZyYX8J9tj
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos2c1rOevf
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj2ZLRqkjQ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JdfkYBTVR
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZO65eUNMd
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejNWq3JLcg
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Daniel asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn9w3nOklt
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IVigcIxDl
"Yeah, I am," I said, trying to pull myself together.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OMH2MtKpk
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0upSHcIHN
"I know you've never liked this, but The Toxins aren't The Toxins without you," he said, giving me an encouraging smile.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmSzRaGma3
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0lb7G1CCM
"It's going to take years for me to get over this."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppapcKkdlc

"Yeah, I know. Come on, we have to go."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vXgtsLSg6
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLlawD6PS2
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4x6DQUynI
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaS162URRi
"Come on, we're all waiting for you," he said with a smile. "Take my hand."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hGPjEuqQk
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1QJTZdzEg
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5QnDWJZEG
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6jnpymcmo
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxV7jXZ4Tg
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoc9zOXaae
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5io8Z03G5
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGtzJMBqQ9
"Woah, relax, B.K." said G-Dragon as he smiled for the camera. "You don't seem too comfortable."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQPXEjzOrq
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj87SXU4cg
I blush. It looks like he read my body language. Well, this is embarrassing.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtwK0JMwk9
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRp7Mzg678
"I don't like getting all the attention," I told him as I spoke in his ear.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd08Kd2473C
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaebvwQffyN
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSWVxl0gjL
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1BBqLf6W0
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sHtHaqqi2
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64OKSFcQFa
He gave me that irresistible smile, and I felt like melting. He left me utterly speechless.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGTpCnYIJo
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAcmkyuwCb
"Come, let's join the others," he said, and we continued to walk hand in hand down the aisle.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKHWuXFQnI
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU7laHmpTL
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3U5AmKx1K
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9h35zgaNw
"I think you can let go of my hand now," I said as I turned to face G-Dragon.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj9c9DkTPP
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEbIBHXWqT
"I let go of your hand, or you let go of mine?" he asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkdAQXngHS
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBStUXjkSwF
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXH0PzRZ5O
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZuvMvmls9
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?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDefgzbkTRJ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWGZI6295Z
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sdjUUrrPS
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhfdzrYifE
"I see that Ji Yong is troubling you," said Taeyang as he came over, breaking away from the others.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe60V9rBJie

"Don't mind him. He does that all the time."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswJxgBtKBe

"Does he do that just to make any girl fall for him?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQMtNxOdkD

"Yeah, I'm definitely screwed." I playfully hit my head with my hand, laughing nervously. "People would start to think otherwise, huh?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMXLJTuOuw
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5va5bYwdt

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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHiL8dLdxn
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOAAyCyjOq
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMRrEUCjzV
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixuSk3tAy8
"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tgTXxCLQG
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs32lIc6wb
"She's so cute. What do you think?" I asked Taeyang.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm9Xn9WAVZ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWCmvfujVf
"She is," he replied. "It seems she likes you."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUdkNtJkFm
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqkfSkEMyz
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm7LceRtGL
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8i9eBUyaW
"Is this for me?" I asked softly.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb8JBzeM3l
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsC6niHsJY
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMl14ZEo8M
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87RXUC5Ppn
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNqrSN2znQ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRynWC0jJ8C
"Sorry for the trouble," the woman said to me when I got closer. "She can really be jumpy sometimes."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHulVOHrwst
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U8UAqJq0q
"No, not at all," I said. "You've got a very beautiful daughter."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy7fGEt0D7
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O7xyhqq30
"Thank you," the woman said with a smile.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnbnu8lzIc
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO1DZawvO9
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyFzsdqnPp
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzhVxb59YF
"What?" I shrug my shoulders.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE7gNr92dp
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhvqyzhN8b
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeNxf6Xl0o
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBl4f5YnXS
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask him.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ99Cm7c6o8
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXPoyepwrQ
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlzhlLssbC
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYjz35Jshn
"Or she was just an adorable, cute fan of mine that managed to pass through the guards just to give me a flower."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O7go8O1vX
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5YKddxW19
Taeyang laughed, and I blushed even more. I looked the other way so that he wouldn't notice.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmdN5ySm7q
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ykHecR0fz
"You don't know how valuable you are, do you?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7nZe8vWkL
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4s7rmWBJl
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4gooSC5A3
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrnvDVziNO
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8gIzoAKAf
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57zpcnAn7v
"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd58L16zKj
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lpqlbr1Vt
"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?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNo5C7K8bu
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxmjxq9K7t
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7jB6St94X
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qMomIi6wE
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey, who had a huge smile on her face as she headed for the elevator. Christine and Daniel followed.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSxeJ99FOb
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt56Vfpzw9U
"I better get going," I told Taeyang.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsPphCeB9a
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBRWPHyHHS
"See you tomorrow, then," he said. "Maybe then we can get on the dance floor and see who has the best moves."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqVhHsQo6I

"You're on," said Mike as he walked past us, joining the others in the elevator.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtph6YtSrLE

"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohjWC7VC57
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme038VgSeM
"See you tomorrow, T.O.P." I turned around to face him as he gave me that bad-boy smile of his.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQB5fEUzyk
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBaKyMRPBA
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7lGcrFXl1
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwbbDlVLyU
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, my little black kitty," he said softly. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he said that.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6L1wNbIlg

"What did you-?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LWa6eBhKD
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g0CkuJZGN
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS9oCQWA0N
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsPTuzq07f
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtgr0tu7gY

"What just happened out there?" Zoey asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgyvvA3Apr
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R7VzwXEL8
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZbabDu0kH
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptH09P40dE
"Hello, B.K. I'm talking to you." I felt Zoey come to sit beside me and shake me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhqhYwLXyZ

"What?" I sat up. "Don't tell me you are jealous."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnmVNUb9E6
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjojF9VbI1w
"You heard me. Start talking." Zoey looked at me in a way that my mother would whenever I did something wrong.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztofHJ9ZD3
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJbEFg6KBi
"You're jealous," mocked Christine, who sat on the other bed opposite Zoey and me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVABDuK8JiJ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UjI4JDTt7
"Christine, ssh! Come on, Sam, start talking." Zoey looked serious. That didn't shock me at all.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL81oK4aEVr
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrjSqi2XZH
I shrugged my shoulders. "It was nothing, really. He just helped me out of the car, and we walked down the aisle together."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2VN0PKClb
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi7NpFNaSD
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxPDSHtHdm
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQLfGzkr5N
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwRX7hAcFl

"And you think Taeyang wasn't drooling over Sam in the lobby?" Zoey asked. "I thought you liked Tae."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6dQqeAeka
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqx4I81uJq
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTSKuITTqp
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2RS3xnWQb
"I agree," I said. "You are one hell of a drama queen, Zoey. You can have G-Dragon because I'm not interested."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeXO32Xq88

"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I might have been a little jealous."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVGSey5iGS

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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdYuYDpKcZ

"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVZbKAerrH
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuWwsBnhYD
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3z8ct6rzE
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zbXzrV2vI
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxDUgOptgX

"Um, no," Zoey replied. "What is it?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVzgHglFzS
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4KNtxKevE
"Sam, you're everywhere, like everywhere," said Lee as she looked at me. She clearly isn't making any sense.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM0utye9bB
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaYbTvlFfz
"I'm everywhere? What do you mean?" I asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp11VZ6kS2

"Pictures of you with G-Dragon, the time you were with that little girl and Taeyang, everything. People are just talking about you!"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoNQbvbBGY

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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DMrca4FLE

"Wow, I'm not looking forward to seeing the entertainment news tomorrow," I said as I continued to look at the pictures.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq38csBfF1
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx89YO96Qe
"OMG!" said Zoey, her eyes still fixed on the screen. "There are pictures of you everywhere, Sam."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI3297yGzP
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXtFTOJNda
"Nah, we're all there," I said. "I'm just a little unfortunate."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfQjBRO9ws
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSXQ8MgB0G
"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?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F67x91zGW
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYPNli0a4z
"Okay, I better shut up because I'm clearly not helping," I said as I walked back to the window.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Si9Cptbof

Suddenly, Mike and Daniel came into the room through the open door.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxScvuA89v
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO65VE69I7d
"Guys, you're supposed to knock first," said Christine. "This is a girls' room, you know."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcn7nhSuPj
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYtpcspgPc
"You won't believe what's on Facebook," said Mike, completely ignoring Christine.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQbrUOA7vq
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqwiqmVwpT
"If you're talking about Sam, we already know," said Zoey.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZmb4Nw110
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPbbCzcY9a
"This is annoying," I said. "I didn't want this."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNC5D7U1JO
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPoEfZx5mo
"No one said you did," said Lee. "It just so happens that you caught people's attention."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyFI28Pl1L
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHEJHoWGHO
"It looks like you've gained so much attention yet again," said Daniel. "Wait until Collins sees this."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GbeG045W9
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0UoGQIUJS
"I'm so tired right now," said Christine as she yawned. "But I need to have something to eat first."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlsHBtQadU
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufQqoLm1c9
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F98bcbFGe

"Staying here is fine with me," I said. "As long as I don't get my picture taken putting something in my mouth."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj45YUfoaqp
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOiOCaPXaw
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVTtrajRgi
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhYQkMXe1q
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTRKdU7woV

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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iA5REOvJC

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.
