"Come on, Zoey, they're waiting for us in the lobby, and you're taking time like you're dressing up for the royal ball," I said as I leaned my back against the wall next to the door of our room.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85RzwVbC5Y
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlXYfqYeBd
"You know I need to look good for G-Dragon, Sam," said Zoey from inside.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4EIzIfBAX
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj3nUXlVPt
I rolled my eyes at what she said. The others had already left to go downstairs soon after breakfast, and at that time, Zoey wasn't even ready yet. We're running late for our tour, and I didn't want to miss a thing.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwpHFkNYhF
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAuPYUDrBU
"Are you done yet?" I asked. "You don't have to look like a princess, you know. It's just a tour."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcax1TiVUpv
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ6iNLXCfo
"Hey, I don't want people to think I'm a tourist. I want to look fabulous."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hXFNt3VBo
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rCjrf7Vh0
"You can look fabulous later when G-Dragon asks you out on a date. Can you please hurry up? We've got five minutes till nine." I looked at my wristwatch and started tapping my foot on the floor impatiently.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZXTIrDaoV
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96ViGklGTF
"Zoey, if you don't come out in ten seconds, I'll drag you out of there, even if it means you looking like a clown," I warned.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHS3HvGgXO
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OdFiJWK6S
No sooner had I said those words did the door fly open, and Zoey stepped out of the room. She wore black skinny jeans, a pink top, and a black jacket. She wore black wedges, which to me seemed pretty high, and she carried along a black purse studded with colored stones. As usual, she wore makeup.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXfP7FGJf4
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpnjqwyaNz
"Aren't those wedges a little too high?" I asked as I looked at her. "Your feet will get tired. The jacket and fancy purse make you look like you're attending some important meeting."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k6glKG1PJ
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuejmqWPvQ
"Hey, I'm perfectly fine like this," said Zoey as she twirled herself around. "And besides, you know I can last for hours wearing heels, so the wedges aren't a problem. What if I trip and G-Dragon catches me? That will be so romantic."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzwwohELJH
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh1nfiL8UW
"If you land on your face, I'll make sure to take pictures and post them all over social media, and everyone will laugh all day long."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tqcpmNF8q
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT7B4thpqe
"Haha, very funny," said Zoey sarcastically as she furrowed her eyebrows at me. "Let's go. The others must be waiting."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAF0CWWorg
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmodG4thHJ
"I was waiting for you to say that," I said as I led the way to the elevator after Zoey closed the door to our room.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPV48thDty
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGvDOFprO8
A few seconds later, we found ourselves in the lobby. Just like any ordinary Sunday, it was quiet and pretty much normal. Thank goodness the paparazzi and reporters weren't around. I wonder where they are. Most of the people we found in the lobby were the working staff. It looked like people didn't really move around so much on Sundays like they do back home. That felt like a good thing.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShYApjPwV1
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPOxBlHtdm
As Zoey and I walked over to the front doors of the hotel, we found Collins and the others waiting outside.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqcs0kkwbE
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ZUnsfm77
"It's about time," said Collins as we approached. "You take way too much time to get ready, Zoey."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE42A9tmlj
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZcaTD3Mpz
"Thank you, Collins," said Zoey, brushing him off. "I know I look fabulous. You don't have to tell me."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOInuii0h8K
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiWbk2XzwK
Daniel and Mike shook their heads in disbelief as Christine and I laughed. Collins rolls his eyes and looks the other way. Lee, however, looks on at Zoey.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1IEoiy0pC
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioby5j0rHc
Earlier on, I wondered why there were no paparazzi or reporters around. They were outside the hotel gates. I hadn't noticed until I heard screaming from the fans. Security is tight this time around. The gates leading to the hotel were closed, and the guards stood there to not let anyone in.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOard60VUvR
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6BNCL0FQS
"Aren't they supposed to be here by now?" Mike asked. "It's already nine o'clock."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapidhH52qd
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FMBBPqty9
"Don't worry, they'll be here," said Lee. She stared at the gate. "Oh, look. Here they come now."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XR4AeUvjg
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrmQXHj3jF
Three black BMW SUV cars appeared at the gate, and the fans were screaming like crazy.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONryXjMMBu
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMaC53l0vX
As I continued to look towards the gate with the guards trying to make way for the cars to drive through, I suddenly felt nervous. Everything that happened yesterday came rushing back into my mind. From the time I woke up this morning, I had been so oblivious to the events that had taken place. I haven't gone online to see what people are talking about. Obviously, it's all about BIGBANG and The Toxins, so I wouldn't check even if I wanted to.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmbThFU31o
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRRTxhPkem
I got so lost in thought that I didn't notice the cars pull up in front of us. The next thing I knew, someone was whispering in my ear.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk8qRpUuOW
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaOFhCnLee
"Hey, where is your head this morning?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oM8tRlLbe
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDH5p6UkYz
I jump in fright, and when I turn to see who it is, I furrow my eyebrows.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsacrwD96zA
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefwmDXIm3y
"Don't do that, Ji Yong," I said as I hit him on the arm. "You almost gave me a heart attack." G-Dragon smiles at me, and I look away, still feeling angry. I'm not going to fall for his charm this time.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6EboZpSXm
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmosYPYAFcT
"I'm not going to get a good morning from you, then?" he asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBJGS3Z3sn
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1YZbvhdEM
"Don't mind her, GD," said Zoey as she came to stand right beside me. "She doesn't want anything to do with you."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4v9G4dODT
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoVta6ERof
"Oh really?" G-Dragon asked as he folded his arms. "I would like her to say that to my face; then I won't bother her ever again."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7WCdwjDWc
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu8XB42K3s
I am startled. I can't look at him and say that. Furthermore, I'm just going to stammer. Not only that, but I have to admit, he had the skills and charms to make people shy and nervous.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v9c8QsZ3O
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4bfWD6EV5
"Come on, B.K. I'm waiting," he said in a sing-song voice. Is he mocking me? I'm still not looking at him, but I could feel myself blushing. What the heck is wrong with me? I'm supposed to be upset, not blushing!892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uZRASc7ma
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjvoaMGgKL
"I'm not doing this," I said and walked away, heading to one of the cars.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLA4vfIq0e
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQVGchtoyh
"Morning, Seungri," I said to him as he jumped out of one of them.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPsUn9XxWi
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBQ0PnoTDa
"Morning, my panda," he said cheerfully as he pulled me into a hug.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIXzmZwMtD
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaavBzVqo8
"Panda?" I blushed, as he still had me in his arms. I then remembered that he loves pandas.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfZOjEW7py
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynCG40bWRc
"I hope you had a good night's sleep. We're going to have a long day together," he said after we broke away from each other.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHHGvGFGRq
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0JEhTGqyZ
"Let's just hope you don't get me into trouble while on tour," I said.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlT6u5C4tQ
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQayJ80Bpl
Seungri took a step toward me, closing the gap between us. I could feel his breath on my face, and for a moment, I wanted to just stay there. But I'm in a dangerous position here. I want to move back, but he quickly places his hand on the small of my back. He pulls me closer so that our bodies touch. I just hope no one is seeing this.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3poXyUs1jn
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOQUD0uyZT
I swallow as I continue to gaze into his eyes. We were so close. If I made one wrong move, I might kiss him. I wonder if that would be a good or bad thing. I blush at the thought of it. Seungri notices and smiles. Damn! That makes me want to kiss him more. Wait, where did that thought even come from?892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0dNPsKqn4
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7EouiN71z
"I know I'm trouble," he whispers, "but you're also one because you're messing with my mind right now."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH2bkwz4nL
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIPAOM5chm
I'm speechless. I've never felt so captivated by words in my life. This is so stupid and freaky. I need someone to save me from this. But then, I want to savor this moment a little longer.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk2ORUGIeL
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhixQw6ijLf
"Excuse me, am I interrupting?" came Taeyang.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJUOwJMxqK
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUTzTY5o3G
Thank goodness. I let out a sigh of relief when Seungri broke away from me. If I had to refer to anyone as my guardian angel right now, it's Taeyang.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqAWmOWpJr
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xqUMN5fQQ
"You came just in time," I told him, my cheeks still blushing. "Tell me Collins didn't see that."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIDDavlzDv
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJpPHqJLU4
Taeyang pointed with his thumb behind him, and I saw Collins talking over the phone with his back to us. Phew! That's a relief. I looked over to see if anyone else had seen what had happened. Lee and Christine were chatting with T.O.P. and Daesung, while Zoey, Mike, and Daniel were with G-Dragon. It looks like I'm saved from all the trouble. But I knew it was going to catch up to me in one way or another.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXc7j5fksf
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7fedQSKsy
"Ah, come on," said Seungri. "You ruined my moment."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHZBJTaPRm
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZiOKq8fhs
"You could've gone somewhere more private, then," said Taeyang with a smile on his face. That made me feel even more embarrassed.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46XU4tmo2I
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyzVheGCfp
"Well, I'm just glad you interfered," I said as I tried to speak. Somehow, my throat had suddenly become sore.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWozHh9LYBo
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsukI76BwQ
"Okay, guys, we better get going," Collins announced. "We don't want to waste any more time."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3kzkKxPf4
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5tBqLJrxB
I quickly went into the first car Seungri had been riding in. Collins, Taeyang, and Seungri followed. I sat in the front passenger's seat alongside the driver because I didn't want to be close to Seungri. Thank goodness Collins is also in the same car with me, or who knows what would happen without him. T.O.P., Daesung, Lee, and Christine got into the second car, and the others went in the third.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0LBXMo2Sh
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KAbKXtyfu
The cars drove away from the hotel building, and when we reached the gates, it was hard to drive through with the media and the screaming fans around. But we got out successfully and drove away.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJgbDCT3bf
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXj6cycDH0
It's such a beautiful Sunday morning, and it's lovely to see the city during the daytime. I just couldn't wait to see the lovely parks and the ancient palaces. As much as Seoul is now a modern city, it's still rich in the Korean culture of long ago, with its ancient palaces still standing. I can't wait to see one of them. I've always had a thing for ancient artifacts, architecture, and culture. Likewise, I wonder where I got that from.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1JyyTDt7x
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7WIJAkf5T
We soon pulled over at the most extraordinary palace I've ever seen. As I looked out through the windshield, I couldn't keep my mouth closed. I had always seen such places in Korean movies and series. But now I get to see it in real life. I was so drawn towards it that I didn't hear Collins speaking to me until I heard something snap by my ear.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO8wZn3zus
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JVltYGx8j
"Hey, we've got to go, and you're already daydreaming," said Collins. He had snapped his fingers close to my ear. "When we're in there, you can daydream as much as you want."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZd5ZhTkyq
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapj0eITUSK
Collins, Seungri, and Taeyang got out of the car. Taeyang opened the door for me. I got out and thanked him. The others were already out of the cars they were in. We stood meters away from the main gates of the palace, and I couldn't help but wonder how big the place is within the palace grounds.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTYRK3eZik
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZuyUfcGhM
"Hello, annyeonghaseyo! (안녕하세요)" came a cheerful voice behind us. We all turn to find a young man in his mid-twenties dressed as a tour guide in a green golf shirt with brown chinos. A pretty young lady, also dressed in the same uniform, stood alongside him.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0ri2AQn4g
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9aiBQObYQ
"You must be The Toxins," said the young man. "I'm Sung Jong, your tour guide. Here with me is Mi Na; she'll be assisting me with the tour."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTuzlQgjMv
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQjWdVv4t7
"Hello," said Mi Na shyly. "I can't believe I'm giving The Toxins and BIGBANG a tour. I'm such a big fan of you both!"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2W1a5hccl
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw20bDkB2P
"Thanks," said Mike with a crooked bad boy smile on his face. "It clearly shows that you are."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Ma33l5Ov
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2FfRPcy6x
Mi Na quietly giggles and blushes as she lowers her head. I can't help but look at Mike. To be honest, I'm startled. Is he really flirting with her? If not, then I don't know what it is.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVO8uQZ6mA
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfn9NeaKeR
"Mmm, your brother also likes to flirt," said G-Dragon as he came to stand next to me. "You should be more like him, don't you think?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqLfQhgtst
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxcUk4v5le
"I'm better off the way I am, thank you very much," I replied as I turned to look at him. Dang it! He's giving me that irresistible smile of his. I quickly look away, praying for the tour to begin. I couldn't stand another minute with him by my side.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX3XYNLfmw
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUMl8yfj3v
"Welcome to the Gyeongbokgung Palace," said Sung Jong. "This is the first royal palace to be built in the Joseon Dynasty. It's the largest of the five grand palaces remaining in Seoul. Once we're inside, you'll be able to get a view of Joseon's royal culture and architecture. If you follow me, please."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ur2il5IZ5
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ881wAbuJfe
While Sung Jong talked about the palace's rich history and its rulers, we followed him, heading to the main gate. I got so enticed by whatever he had to say that I started to daydream. But what lay beyond the palace walls is what took my breath away.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fzvuO3qva
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5WZpEN6cj
The palace grounds were huge. There were many tourists and locals around, not forgetting schoolchildren on a field trip. Men and women dressed in traditional clothes called Hanboks were all over the place too. I felt like I had traveled back in time and was part of the Joseon era.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ohsIySjOF
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncIGPvG7dN
Sung Jong and Mi Na took us around the beautiful palace. The amazing artifacts and the architecture were intriguing and interesting. Somehow, we grew so oblivious to everything going on around us that The Toxins and BIGBANG. Fans came to us asking for our autographs. We also took pictures with them.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHm03HNV9L
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT0odK9pF6
Zoey, Christine, and I also took pictures with those dressed in pretty, colorful Hanboks. I wish I could have one myself.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KSvwzLBk6
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1SCDZFLPo
After I took a selfie with a gorgeous-looking lady in a pretty pink and white Hanbok, I felt someone grab me by the waist, pulling me backwards. I wondered what was going on when I felt something soft touch my cheek. Still confused, I looked slightly above me and heard the clicking sound of a snapshot on a phone. Someone had taken a selfie with me. And when I looked at the phone to see the picture, I didn't know whether to scream or drop dead.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySIVGv51ta
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJKUUwKm5Q
The person who had grabbed me by the waist was T.O.P. He had pulled me toward him with my back leaning on his chest. And what I felt on my cheek were his lips. He kissed my cheek! I wanted to scream as I stared at the photo, but I couldn't. I lost my voice all of a sudden.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYPxJoCXLu
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ScRDDo2n5
Furthermore, I looked at myself in the photo, and it completely shows that I had no clue on what was going on. Likewise, I looked like a fool. And T.O.P., looking as handsome as ever, kissed my cheek while looking up at the camera. I couldn't help but blush.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1yGzkzEkW
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvboAebs2R3
"I'm going to keep this photo forever," said T.O.P. as he gladly smiled at his phone. "You look so cute even when you don't know what's going on around you."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq1G6HautP
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRJPQtKSae
"All the more reason for you to delete it," I said. "Give me the phone!"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IvVE52msZ
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckYBDimTuB
I tried to grab it from T.O.P., but he lifted it further out of my reach. I had to jump to get it, and all he did was laugh. He's making a fool out of me. I felt people's eyes on us. The last thing I want is to look like a nutjob. And T.O.P. is doing a pretty good job at making me look like one.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9C3o7rZsA
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5CByuLpee
"Give me the phone!" I said as I continued to jump for it, but T.O.P. kept moving around, making things even more difficult.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZTXvqfap6
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU05BhthAU
"I'll give you the phone if you do me one little favour," he said as he stopped moving with his arm still raised in the air.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f1LFbLJ1U
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScuAyPX1TQ
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" I asked with my arms folded.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvwCV3dnjL
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev4PdYDw0h
T.O.P. took a step closer and slowly bent forward with his hands behind him. For a moment, I thought he was going to kiss me again, and that made my heart race. But instead, he whispered in my ear:892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmYsk30bSi
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxQdQQ1o4h
"I want you to kiss me in front of everyone here, right now."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre9vmFFljN
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlkDKX7nCQ
As much as his deep, sexy voice enticed me, I grew startled and blushed. I looked at him, speechless. He lifted the corner of his mouth into a smile as well as his eyebrows, waiting for me to do what he wanted or admit defeat. I just sucked my teeth and gave up. I can't do it. Not in front of everyone. That would raise questions.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsAhFBiwQd
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ0jLcdD9I
"You win, T.O.P." I said. "You can keep it."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gE8VqHZyQ
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9IGx1Ti2I
"Aww, I was really hoping you would take up the challenge," said T.O.P., looking disappointed.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiVFwBCuRM
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXrf8xPOGb
"Well, you've put me in a weird position right now, and that I cannot do."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M83iVJt3Q
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRbFbb0mNu
"If you want, we can go somewhere more private." He winked. I blushed again.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ25O0ikxB
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3eLfOcLQS
"No, thanks. Like I said, you can keep it."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa5YBU4EDh
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0h94CEXP7
"That's a shame. I was ready to feel your lovely, kissable lips on mine and taste you," he whispers in my ear. He soon walks away. I stood there in the middle of the crowd, and I couldn't get what T.O.P. said out of my head. Were my lips that kissable? Why am I thinking like this? He's obviously kidding, right?892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCzLfiE2Nk
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcbhU8Caar
"Hello, earth, to Samantha. Can you hear me?" Daniel waved his hand in front of my face to grab my attention. I quickly came back to reality. I wonder how long I've stood there like a statue.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc550lFZb5J
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXMb0R8M0d
"Are you okay?" Daniel asked. "I saw T.O.P. whispering to you, and you never came out of the palace with us. Did he say something? You've got this weird look on your face."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNf58bRc2H
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2FkgL9ACC
"It's nothing, Daniel," I said. "He was just joking around, that's all."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYufWeKVQIc
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcnusy69PB
"Well, we better go. We have to leave and head to the museum. I hear the paparazzi and reporters are coming, so we better get going so as not to cause confusion."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbNCrI3Y0U
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vEbOKclCz
"Let me guess, Collins found out?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhaaoMEra3
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseCas0jIYe
"Yeah, you know the drill. Come on, before the fans notice that we're gone."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzQ3tCKNL3

After Daniel and I had left the palace grounds, we found the others waiting for us outside, where the cars were packed.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaXvqNKMAs

"Sam, where were you?" Zoey asked. "I thought you were right behind us, but you weren't."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GmA33JhnL
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPy7dNMyvA
"Sorry, I got caught up with something," I replied as I looked over at T.O.P., who smiled back at me. I gave him the "it's your fault" stare. He read my eyes and winked. I looked away, blushing. I can be such an idiot sometimes.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fz9AoPUpR
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAALDbeDGS
We drove to the National Museum, where we got a full view of Korea's history, art, and various research studies in archaeology. It actually turned out to be fun and interesting. Afterwards, we were taken to Myeong-dong, one of the best shopping areas in Seoul, to look through stores and restaurants. Anything you could ever think of buying, you would find it in Myeong-dong, we were told. We had lunch at a famous restaurant, and for the first time, The Toxins, Lee, and Collins had a taste of the famous kimchi. It was so delicious that some of us kept asking for more. We also had grilled black pork (Heukdwejigui), cooking it on the grill before picking it up with our chopsticks to eat it.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jNr78e9Am

After lunch, we visited the Banpodoegyo bridge in downtown Seoul over the Han River. The amazing thing about this bridge is that it is above another called Jamsu, forming a double-deck bridge. We then went to Hangang Park and found ourselves taking in the view of the Hangang River. I always thought Paris was the most romantic place to be, but after taking in the view of Korea, I had to admit that this is the most romantic place I've ever been to. There were beautiful cherry blossom trees around, and I also noticed many couples hanging around. Some held hands as they walked; others sat on the grass in each other's arms. It's so romantic that I feel left out. I have this weird feeling in my chest. Is it envy?892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1hze8nVzH

"Am I the only one who's feeling like this?" Christine asked as she walked beside me, also taking a look around.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8sLeX6Aqf
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KkTRLOZq6
"What?" I asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOqQq4myN5
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOPebYI3sJ
"Haven't you noticed? There are so many couples around, and I feel so left out."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBfyeJd8jN
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rWKUlLeRr
"You aren't the only one," I said. I sighed as I looked at one lovely couple passing us, holding hands.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RwpcBbswp

"This is worse than France," said Lee. "Even I feel envious."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p6aepbpsC

"Argh..., love. Disgusting," said Daniel as he poked his tongue out as though he had just tasted something bitter.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ510WGc8WAm
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5bnN569bh
"Don't say that, Daniel," said Seungri. "One day, you'll know what love is and how much you really need it, right, Sam?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6nNUqIq6Y
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZBlSKBbwA
I didn't answer the question as I quickly turned away, twirling a strand of my hair with my fingers. I do that sometimes whenever I want to avoid a question that I find pretty hard to answer.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQXa94eJiP
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0rfOBLUMm
"Seungri, you're doing it again. Stop intimidating her," said Daesung. My second guardian angel. "Your questions are really annoying sometimes."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLft4MS075S
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HnOnUSeMx
"But come to think of it," started G-Dragon. Oh no, I sense trouble. "We all need love. I think Sam has no objection to that."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJFscppO18

"I agree with GD," said Zoey. Great! It's like these two are ganging up on me. No wonder they get along so well. And I've got a feeling something's going to be brought - the topic I hate the most.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqto9wpfGDY
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq5lIWFEhn
"I think it's high time Sam found herself a boyfriend," Zoey blurted out. "She needs a little love in her life."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulTKKibiFk
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83CljK7V8L
For a moment, everyone stops walking and falls silent, including Collins, who hadn't said a single word. I slap my forehead with my palm and wonder why I ever had Zoey for a best friend. Right now, I feel like falling off a cliff.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaegIQcftXR

"Are you seriously bringing that up now?" I asked. "That's a little personal, don't you think?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tKBt00HuF
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxouwsiUhn
"We should rather avoid it," said Taeyang.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJARm1ykS4T
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlucDrsj9zG
"Thank you, Taeyang," said Collins. "Now can we please move on? We can't stay here for long. We're going to attract people's attention."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Ia1XXbjm

It's a little late for that. We already did, and a few fans surrounded us, asking for autographs and pictures. Usually, it's hard to refuse.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dBZdis8Jv

When we got out of the park, we went to visit the other palaces in Seoul. It was evening by the time we headed to Lotte World. The lovely amusement park reminded me of Disney World. We had so much fun, and we made sure to take some memorable pictures.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi40Otyia8p
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2AVc3lH9g
After a long day of sightseeing and having fun, it was finally time to head back to the hotel. Tomorrow is another busy day, said Collins. I had so much fun that I forgot why we came to Korea in the first place.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0l0XV6iHU
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEAhDqzlke
While the cars drove us back to the hotel, I felt tired. I'm in one of the cars with Collins, who sat in the front passenger's seat, and I sat in between Taeyang and Daesung. I didn't want to be in the same car with Zoey since she upset me earlier. Nor with G-Dragon, T.O.P., or Seungri. I yawned and leaned my head back on the seat. I slowly started to doze off.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Y4cqSbz4
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64cPFkCOjB
"You can lean on my shoulder," said Daesung. "That's if you're okay with it."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgiAwSJwtv
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjVY1Rog4m
Without giving it a thought, I put my head on Daesung's shoulder and closed my eyes. In a second, my eyes quickly flew open as I looked directly at the rearview mirror to see Collins' reaction. He gives me an assuring look that he doesn't mind at all. I relaxed as I gladly closed my eyes again and immediately drifted off to sleep.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jJio4tU7O
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVHvx2PBnJ
In what felt like a few minutes, I heard Daesung gently wake me up. I didn't want to move, and I found it quite comfortable leaning on his shoulder.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPBmSIop4F
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS47gOtFukQ
"Sam, wake up; we're already here," he said.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEZxe4i4Nr
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29sqfrDpVa
"I'm so tired," I muttered with my eyes closed. "I don't think I can move right now."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk6sHm9PIW
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8NVBwQ863
"Fine, I'll help you out of the car," said Taeyang as I heard him open the door.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIwiIs2TIl
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVHHJtW5AZ
Taeyang slowly took me in his arms and gently carried me out. I woke up after a slightly cool breeze blew by. I look around and find myself still in Taeyang's arms, my arms wrapped around his neck. Likewise, I see Lee, Christine, and Zoey giggling as they look at me. Furthermore, I blush when I notice G-Dragon, T.O.P., and Seungri look at us funny.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hNgBWeJYV
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigyeq30fS7
"You can put me down now," I told Taeyang. He slowly and gently did so.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmmxBvkPiq

"Well, today was awesome," said Mike. "Guess it's time to go to bed."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPtiTvoGX6
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJULcFMQ7Am
"We better head up to our floor," said Collins. We've got a busy day tomorrow."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JAPJ878rC

We all said our goodbyes, and the BIGBANG members left. The rest of us went up to our rooms, and we couldn't stop talking about all the exciting places we had visited and the delicious food we had.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQZ3B96Sjy
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidrcOOEaNd
After we had our supper and went to bed, I couldn't help but think of other amazing places I could visit in South Korea. The country is truly a beautiful place. I drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face, imagining where I might go next.
