The water felt like a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG8jEZPhdR
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKeKmd3ST0
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYv8CtKX8u
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ62099gVng
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpba1s6sc9
breathe. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBcy14vjFG
I pushed myself upwards 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwmaI3CbSN
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwbY7EItqB
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas1bqjPFx7
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmbV053w08
edge.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRJpTSuS8S
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArtcWsJ6WC
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsbxPI2biO
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQcEhun7KH
I looked ridiculously 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Akw7WCr9f
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxqWtyve0Q
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYRPjfHkQ7
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNkSUqnDzD
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuq2c6QfoJ
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbI4tsYlNP
I looked around me and 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUxrR1qDPJ
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tLjY65IWL
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xRiaJAhzs
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKIPe7Dk4k
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrprWhcgL2
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQQbmRIXda
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXRlkXWh8Y
I heard Zoey and the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbUm6BIjke
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw5QWMB8Hg
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFLj0Gre8e
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj5jXOEL1u
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9NbKvhUuy
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14k6BWMOiQ
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffsZOp9ft6
"I already told you, I'm979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK0yB8DNFt
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gyVdXk0Rv
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zc2E5Fjwd
from anyone.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxbnYGG5PX
I made my way towards GD979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafkgq1jjLV
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20AaGu5RfP
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5TWmUz3u3
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwBtvp3i61
"Oh, man, Sam," said 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgS1Xjs86L
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkr44bL0SK
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErUwBesg6q
game. Hope you didn't mind."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S7Z4TYcTO
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS11m7jtQY
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj1EMF65KJ
"I told you, our 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5OQmfFNp8
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqh4OUpbtu
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4m69tQejb
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOIWxg3cYt
Daesung.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhq9WjaMeq
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aecODCQQm
I dialled Lee's number 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BOrrkbz62
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfR3WEafUl
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvXVxsxgpa
They would know soon enough.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNseos34ld4
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYsKoMN8xe
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeMIxF3YfH
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5bKZtMhie
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemu7BnaO8y
"No, not yet. But you 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMvVjg6DmL
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoF18FwIrm
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBy3897ouJ
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXmHbPyxsP
"Okay, I'll be waiting."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OxaHnJb7Y
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuXVTKvt9q
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M6Fp7qlos
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVCE8LL6KM
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV1LnmYdsJ
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzWFwRwmEj
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40FWxt4XSQ
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EdHsBsqAx
I shook my head. I was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OoyLsn8Wy
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv22pUJIFP
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejuWd22M7E
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaor1Gg7HrE
After walking a few feet979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfEhylT8m2
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6e6r8jqZY
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ145nsC5JCy
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JuotLMOZ9
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOMBsRJOKh
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUaGJYkCgL
None of them answered as979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSWZyoJHho
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmzzgDxVcg
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxsUSneboX
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PTKOuQSMM
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7kcyV4uOo
"I wasn't going to say 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1YUPVHxsa
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY651Fb2t8
you would want to hear from me is advice."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoAiyw8APg
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy9K9rGqVc
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYT5Hn1nVi
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4fpSElCXa
"I'm still upset, though."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V29KcPdIy
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISCqlQvug6
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs88jhw9SWj
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwBVP49MGR
I gave TOP an assuring 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulqJaKHikZ
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ080QJFsgD1
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iuZrZREv9
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTJvs7NbgE
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kRfDT705g
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n5rqZ2lb1
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgHmEqBTJ4
We all found ourselves 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh6IQA22Gd
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvE09bcG1R
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF79KNK4Uw
were waiting for me. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovLM8U6x0f
"Hey, Sam, you don't 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ixjn50JyQ
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUsiRYqLBr
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgF4N5HHOk
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuDUCBzX90
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CHVOePAi1
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Ku6XhYQB
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo8aKZqCLQ
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqkU0NXiOs
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDe8uDiDqW
I had my eyes closed 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR3hS2dR30
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD8rvVg54f
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg1B9PEuJX
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sa3jYPe1W
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZuOGwo4Eh
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHZHwQUESn
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU56xTHpaa
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZZgPyKMUl
Taeyang led me to his 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFh9qrh7vN
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kL613vqJe
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51bO4YhdvJ
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPVfh5az6h
In about thirty minutes,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ytYgVvRPs
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1GdflYrI7
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GqaKspULh
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6tvTtahkc
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoR5j1029e
appeared out of the elevator.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXGSodoq1N
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNa1A4KcV2
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Uvhs4GPu
Lee who stood behind 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZYhXD4Q2X
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxLvZ4czgx
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUEBH5SKKL
other things in mind.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg1Wzonl53
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwLVxXA3Cb
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZau6tWJurN
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7nf6gahTo
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnn5QPgEEa
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaQ4yXLYVK
"We didn't just go there to have fun," I said, with my head down. "If there's anyone to blame for all this, it's me."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsUCEhzfZQ
There was an awkward 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9FP6AdkIZ
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3vw9yP1uO
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpLYPsbgtD
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciCegWoP9w
"Well, I hear the press 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLsDt5zXOy
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRqlRMW9Av
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmzsE4aQLx
"That won't be 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgZZilslrH
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCvmef8XcK
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYeoZ7t6iP
go to the press looking all wet."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVbToousr9
I breathed out a sigh of979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47iPy8oToP
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxbpjIMPd0
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xhp3yamYM
"In the meantime, you go979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfKST0Hklc
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwCmVNfwz3
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE6EPJaTET
I nodded my head in 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseDjrK9yTe
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB47qxsVqj
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUISTmvHhM
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPG0n9gyxG
"Alright," I said 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOKS3pa12c
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzkuclNVg5
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpv2lUiHgn
I was only making things worse.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MZ2qjbYsN
Before I turned to leave979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rGAXsQOw0
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUFaCel18B
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjCgpCQ1NR
one.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTZSHEtRpL
***979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx9KGHeQFI
I sat on the couch all 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOpecUQs1H
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjJuQxnmCX
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN0kwGSFfB
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5NdMb1FAC
I had a box of paper 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn33LKJIOK
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmb9jAMV0S
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgmDjsbU62
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXUara3NBZ
I continued watching the979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks0hsdR2IU
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cHTS78H2q
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65YQTuo1pe
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xljntdCAv
"Never better," I said, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGmZzxgvfB
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrxH8VI6F9
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCnJVS0EVH
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltUFoiGEk1
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuDBuq1TCb
"Ya, I'm actually enjoying it," I said as I put in a spoonful of chicken soup in my mouth. Mmm, it was so tasty.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ATEFrhXoN
"And the others?" 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLQsdKmZWs
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5vJx9Tq2E
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w4t9Ph2R1
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItcuMYG4mT
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz8Vzry6cK
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv6IFsTTws
"You don't know or you are?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aNcqvmWbI
I shrugged my shoulders. To be completely honest, I am still mad, but then again, I felt like I wasn't and that felt confusing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYipnlmmTv0
"I don't know, Tae," I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJDwnGdE7D
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj4dNcjPy1
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6ja9vvhs4
forget all that happened yesterday."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMpAuIeN3u
"Ya, I understand. They 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v9IKXlsud
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh38NhI8SA
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SfvECAYK5
going to get."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCADyGpJbN7
I looked on at Taeyang 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tNXg12VNF
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9uiN79Ofw
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi16dZB5zz
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1TaDHeY8H
who was as tough as nails.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBkg2hcjyX
Last night, I took the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnOuIYUOzV
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76oFnKS37M
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjR7HpM49P
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDIyiwXUq0
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2lexHqaqr
Apparently, the managers979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2Djqnoluh
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgZfPzBUYS
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmECcGyOmv
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0Kn0i7FCG
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCy9flPqLJ
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz8ANLnWjJ
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCebb13jdZ
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWkAegkggk
and the reporters.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YmRqkNEAF
After my confrontation 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijs2RHHfdG
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mu59yx7nF
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDAIY3EqFQ
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxykPjE2YTs
"Huh, I guess am still upset," I said, as I took in another spoon of soup in my mouth. "Especially after what GD did to me."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtRvBRe71x
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB2endiRVj
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknJorXuTdt
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUuxUzCtsz
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu21xp3OGIx
"Have you tried talking to GD?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4cUaIlMby
"To be honest, I haven't979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS1LKi6zM9
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNiC3kFEjr
slap him in the face if I see him."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdEK7hZ2MO
"I don't doubt that."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9YFT79cqn
"And thank goodness my 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1biooDanZ3
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajzBkloYxS
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h7cvNUSHe
want to do is watch some TV."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DLovT37NO
I quickly drank my 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffOT44cmQC
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbjdjBvCCD
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmwbCMEIAP
to.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyiftY7PGs
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LZKHPGPUH
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem5DW6Pegq
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwmb0SnC3e
"Nope."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiJtdkNn5s
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTTupejIgu
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSsImdXQ8r
Taeyang didn't say 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcwf8tG3dC
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmuXB5sVnl
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEsysTLxPw
"I know you fought or 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9WDqLXsi4
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrWA5ZNyaP
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnSpK6LxaR
I noticed Taeyang smile 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFvWbTq4OS
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD80z2XFfe
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnINvWM1vT
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJoE4aso01
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJLqORHr4y
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmimVEwh9y2
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyKOoOoNM0
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaho7sLz5Qz
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t3limkT9D
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7fj6yCP3B
Before I could finish my979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2twnhlJ7wE
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOfD15LBuI
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm0w33a59b
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN57RffUGs2
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yyEmVseGi
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqomxApr3u
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HlZgDzbyz
"Yep, cheers to that." 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd79lkMTBd
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2dwMCX8mT
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnniZQXp6gk
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPtLXVw3P4
"We can't work on it without you," said Taeyang. "You and G-Dragon decided that the both of you would work on it together."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJIXA6ny8
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN8Hgxyu19
"Wow, that sounds personal."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFFXkQ7DZU
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PneTZt1qT
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRqSN4x6Pb
"I think I've a better 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlTX4tfYTT
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9aki8QqbP
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtBPRgfs3c
lyrics. It's better that way."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGFr76TzQy
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruqTu1OVsb
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB4gyKVQ0N
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxMkchtVIC
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFWcWaVsNq
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlibE8HYTTe
"Haha, good point."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf6dnZaDkL
Taeyang and I continued 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgrhOjrYPU
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm251YuOgjo
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4DpHMLKvH
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgvlFV4hhG
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDJqET7PsR
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uEXi5v6z8
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ468l7C6ck4
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMvhRmIjqH
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWHDSNedYz
While the two of us were979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6pvcMMsnC
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vxKGXXXAV
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8PgNwwf5u
I quickly went over to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS9S6Bnssk
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcVjqCXEr9
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIdi0JE5o9
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60lZxMTNvx
come up and I put the receiver down.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9YblbO5CF
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfQcF2N6C5
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezEPFUvin6
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJkNW9ZOCo
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz04HkNICFw
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhewWjgxjqp
"Eww, that pillow 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiSkxBQtcg
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwtQlD2SPR
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuaeBFVous
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNCJRpfG8r
A few seconds later, we 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHTIDiMzNx
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgRxoJ98oN
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNMM9QA9Zi
holding a box of chocolates.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy9W4mNOgP
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhffztsJ8SW
"Ah, no, the panda is a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR2ggN2k4n
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc6Uv5mI6k
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeHPQp1Zpo
same time.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFqjrEMo8H
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrUi0j6Zty
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LLH8dCa5T
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuKQeceEjj
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR5lY3dHxw
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODfZZvN9dR
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Bn88RLRG
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrsAUTr38G
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRS20uxOlO
"For goodness sake, I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4tvIbgaPs
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPJZ12Ojbn
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dhjx6Vzuq
scared with me."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNOwOyqBmm
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRlcn4OyYm
I took the panda in my 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMzLzNY7YB
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVdMSj5Ryj
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlOF6dj25F
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjoyosA29T
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2P0BM4mnw
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjCtuMt3dp
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrxQgI6wb1
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb611R9CSoI
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKVaVzrLpK
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQqG84Guxk
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5feiSXjq7
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY3In0n8Tw
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw3HnyVllo
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrP32sGb2R
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWq78VvszC
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHIf53dtzG
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTqHuXqwy9
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCj6QZEXWp
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa8EVTgGVG
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyi1lxsKOV
"Ya, I do."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubhqqQEdFB
While the four of us 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS2HD91ORp
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQHtU33LWO
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbKONR8Aku
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIH20AkZ3Y
said:979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjPOneWUSZ
"Hey, Zoey." 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeLuAnBBhq
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1rH7FyXAv
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ0KYdQHQq
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl7HnlhbfL
"It's good you came to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd16DGy1CtY
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNxRk1Kp0i
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTN55NDNf1
couch.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dn3xc38Kt
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuI1xkfLMc
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirBgjX209q
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Yi4rckEJ
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NDA9Fsbe8
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cCyYRAKI1
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s8Yit9tBc
I tugged at my panda's 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyyuKmNg5U
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRvy5kk2bt
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2D6SixExe
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHJMTvD3RZ
The Toxins came back to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5XDjSJqFA
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tow0J77WV
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTWonoVW92
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG6yGCLV7G
For a moment, no one 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQFCu9Uirq
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASexLvZyQe
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQPUR3qHtr
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWoqhXywTd
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhcmnPXrRJ
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxjl5YyvE2
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvDu3RrXof
I stared up at the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WuRHw2NUQ
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyShPPsouY
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1QQMMzjd4
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NaxKQdHc4
When Zoey tried to reach979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHB7zhlCo9
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqDKasXSTv
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa34VmdFHY
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88nkPAhsQp
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyuP3W6rI7
Zoey looked hurt with 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX5uXzWZo9
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDqHHJKc2A
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TlNuxcy7D
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0rLWgkhMy
I didn't answer as I put979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0vHO2LlGY
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatj2kc4YhF
was still mad, especially at Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmnS81x9LQ
"I know it's a little 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGRHLV2nbp
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6lgDvhxTj
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS0UP8bPDr
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurcDZ2P0wG
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT8dM1KUWN
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7t4Pq9JD8
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxSEoPKKpT
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1sL9pwUFK
"I don't like it when 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3gVoRb3Rw
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2ePiNfVrH
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A6rawNQpa
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLBWDtEKGI
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjORhJZI8N8
sorry, Sam."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKXeVW91Zx
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1stOxmG3m
"I'm sorry too," said 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSWLt3lyKq
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMccivH3kJ5
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdFlKo351L
for you to talk to us again."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWDqEvEtt7
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWldJ0nZOYT
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgplBROq0a
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbzRYE0zND
leader."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ikveZtI7o
I still didn't say a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJROcqHbSZ0
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHuEf9s6pb
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8TZchPq1u
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGygGSGUjVF
them despite the awful things they put me through.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hnJGbXCYj
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z7yU98CWg
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3xRn0DTLC
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNUWOdLEEv
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGwVmclSTk
"I'm mad and pretty much979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV4W237pLO
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaNbPQve9B
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5p0tzR8Qc
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MJb5AXDvN
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiWs3K9dFa
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ5NiEv4EC
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4wM8M8qXO
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnYxheD1B5
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bZGnytIOF
"Ah, you! Always acting 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdADzT8FEvr
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgXbSIHlan
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mefNfxwk7
catch it anyway."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeEhjZlLA9
Christine, Daniel and 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd8cFbSxff
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfSVQsUxYE
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ438BoimwUw
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcPiLYglhQ
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa154lQCBv
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOXOFCvoAT
"Ya, I'm glad we did," I said, as I felt my nose twitch. "Can you guys please stop hugging me, I'm about to...."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ68NXHBbaH
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM72ZIuTno
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm21QjOMuH7
"Don't worry, you won't 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82fIQ20iwq
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegtXhvMjkT
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGa8Qfxb3L
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMqaZF3l10
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1oxQr7g4m
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDSZPGFu9P
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlLer7wO21
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTng7zgTFQ
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81tw580ZsP
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks9E066Sqh
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4kHdCMuIt
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pyJgVKvqQ
At that moment, I had 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRUqoyUbX1
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqToYVucWLd
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFrKukiOjv
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHBjqFOPEB
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg2noGF6kM
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudAvDs65oW
Zoey got the box of 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrTwxyl6Bi
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6S9moXRcj
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGIYJuR403
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnKcdrvqvF
I was in the passage as I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWmRNDNEJJ
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDInUPTGrF
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mw97Q34Ju
in what felt like sadness.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUoJdHh4RM
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwDGW3118d
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ABDH5eyCi
I heard his footsteps 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGXHxca5UU
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdbSrHfpKq
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMewih7qqI
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24m0u9j6qu
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagkhSSmKvd
"Are we really do this right now?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbNCA5cnB0
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtreqz0MFq
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwgTnwLeiv
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51MeLXOVhf
"Nope." 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsn87rLh2p
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqg6sYfvZj
My eyes almost felt like979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK27svf1Hwg
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmkla4RzLu
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCJGwCr5bA
I turned to look at him 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8U50k6eX1
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6PZ3aXkxT
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnmVK3jGGR
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLiCBu7iZL
"That you're surrounded 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bDfAIYax0
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1UrZ0X4IJ
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU939Ek7VdR
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu57sXmPI6M
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mSodUF7GT
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XClGn6nR7
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEYk30uiDw
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7thksqrI76
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM2gn93lJH
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQK3OkmAVS
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5fR2ZUqYp
Apparently, I couldn't 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSJEmkGhyz
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdya56EKw3d
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQaz8MPVDR
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA2157i4Vm
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhV3zqT1yP
death.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JjVeeRSnw
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3P7FJ1D9j
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mONIa8Lq8
Taeyang folded his arms 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKXI0dEzwT
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9yqSGbE1X
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM3t8OILvc
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4u51fJvAl
"You're may think you're979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPZGoYOwOF
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dd6n4J4Ic
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWSqhejSjB
but feeling hurt."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HYyteVMZo
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkFpVvFO4v
"But I wouldn't feel 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv443llKn6
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsxGRCVfNj
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuViRR1Tzpk
at Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgpJzplifI
Taeyang gave me that 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyklQkbdxf
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0rQr1VZSq
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9J6uXnYHb
while in return, he nodded.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEzEZMajfD
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbSXPW9Maa
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqMFDu6mRf
I didn't say a word as I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx93KYM6eo
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg6dwn6EKA
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NoWR9BK4M
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tvFdyZ5Sg
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRQNhAQzEN
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanWYI3byVN
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9dUT2c4LT
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjygmhBBg4
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG1g3ywzLn
If there was ever a way I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5HMc4okRP
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmQseggIpl
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG211i9eZg
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOSwdASr4H
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt9kZoUS55
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT8tVr7oRa
When I came out, I still found Taeyang where I had left him and the two of us went to join the others entering the elevator.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT3jDX6yM9
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3YMPr5Le3
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseR2ZZpSvE
"Well, I'm just asking,"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe97uSLGWr
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6pbEmCbQo
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzH3tbTBxU
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLK1DjjZX4
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd3XPvlWbU
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz8qj1IgCS
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nFmBfBvDs
I pressed the button 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBF4Pg5MXe
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW53uDU6pG
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR72Xn08Eto
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNbvFCjD9M
We went to the main 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpNeiBsZb2
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNOV853mts
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kUP9X1r4Y
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzccD43dkzm
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiurjnLzKti
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotZP6KC63D
"To be honest, we just 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBOHVD0WRJ
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkj3IU2Uz6
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3sVP37kph
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaLcOT3KGS
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDQE5j5CqT
We all got to the table and before I could pull out my chair, Taeyang pulled the chair out for me and I glady sat.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkDFMz76iF
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzLqkM5lIu
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPKJ9Zezhg
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaKLBJkJuX
"Nah, I don't think so,"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstf2vzKYzb
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ocrC9hdJ
he would be treating me like that."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8ptxxHOac
"Mmm, I don't think so,"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq66NUHPm03
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1f0hAaeMh
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXhSI10qrz
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokg7OOqVjM
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv0cJI4NbJ
"Then, stop trying to make one."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQhyslqMJS
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeehPYE31BZ
"Ya, me too," said Mike.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz0eNjtKb4
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDYvHHtWRt
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL4IndyNgf
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT6HTvJvMX
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CYK7BgYwV
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwTPDBc5iQ
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoyUG94WI7
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJpA8cNQHF
I didn't even dare try 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnW7NnHSIV
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI69dWIQxqG
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQBB5Ogvxj
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NnSgv5E5o
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsGuu0mm3n
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO6ErMgdYo
I heard footsteps coming979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFOPDufmnI
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70a0TfpnRd
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9903C1fxk
look at me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCDf2zdD9d
"Are you okay?" he whispered.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RAqECnlwc
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6uUWQk5cO
I soon felt strong hands979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJNiSGVVuJ
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwMrIzqoM2
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE9o1apCQz
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmo0uDTOOM
"I'm a whole lot better,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrItF4cyZ7y
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzyDuCJdJp
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0HTJ7N8uV
"Glad to hear that."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqkFZRcZcE
When TOP let go of my shoulders and walked away to take his seat next to Mike, I heard G-Dragon's voice behind me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r3T7otdgx
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10tKyQHTs3
I was planning not to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm1qjor3SS
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPet4JC0ec
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LduAYvUIP
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEIM3PiKU0
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LINy30jG6
under the bridge.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Bk0m4pYd
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah1LnIOC60
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQWOkXzkSd
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTddqqbwWm
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmK3LmYPil
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWiTgl5rD5
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgV9ixi8CO
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dbyEfeLFB
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IfW9vOwsD
The waiters soon came 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PKlnExlVG
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVrLvg29tF
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkFlhYViK7
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyL1G3TbpW
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsjT0eSI5F
For a moment, I felt 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTmubBCY14
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpnrBtNh05
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymFQs9WZop
me to forget that I was ever mad.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuCBZvFePj
"Mmm, this is so 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1esafNYpYx
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde6iP6JRB5
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEINjIQtq46
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Xq8Q0O4j
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPcpWz1Rms
"Anything for you, Sam,"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXYwRYHCVY
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzc962zEOo
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaApAo6v3TC
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Haypb8Okq
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SgMYquNrw
I had just taken in some979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAaBHyuTi3
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzqOyLmMLX
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyN1Auc6oW
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd7cSqVMDw
just said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjqH4KhlDE
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpvWUOOCy4
"Well, ya," Christine 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvBsg4zlbq
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VxQRHPVIM
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN6deuAaBQ
special lunch to lighten your mood."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9PbjrVYdL
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFab5NzWjZ
"Thanks for the lunch, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcQiMfCghX
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqX67BFPwR
sweet of you to have come up with this."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuz21Ct6WY
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSx6ub6m0o
I almost felt like 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAowC6kvGa
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqpdZ4srga
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT79ga9iWo
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvHIcdcgyR
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVK14amaCK
turning into rage?979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMGaRPASZa
Oh, goodness. I needed 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawl6ULSAn3
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBeoCJ0Fyp
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4WVxwURSo
I tried to push aside 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCl3zcFcGg
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU3LDi8U7U
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy09IspIRZC
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfz28ybi7g
chocolate moussé.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU32BMDyAS
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a3eOQbqFp
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvNnhhDS1j
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJbAJ7OSLi
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpLAxrwtzr
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0S4dtEmU5
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxAD604k0a
I didn't wait for 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KFmTVKgvb
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGHZSoUANQ
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNArIwz1tY3
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATLB9BaIvO
heaven.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0b5a0K0Vg
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnWu67Rdnq
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrvpSFeBOV
"I don't care," I said 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQZrjwd5qS
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSgyIbqw94
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTKLCH6etr
G-Dragon smiled back at 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAV0oq5bqJ
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcN5QQ0NyA
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4vvJmh9bm
away.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYEPohfOqQ
After dessert, we all 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWjFG50w9q
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHboDjytaD3
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm3qNmZgbb
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSD6gC2Bat
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx8aP6Pjm7
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWseYxUMoC
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokKYpLSnZm
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvNHhnZLET
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7bQe4Thuf
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNYE6kUOR6
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFfEQZceWG
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda5q93eBLN
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rBpX4FMZn
"What stuff?" TOP asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuRVFkhkUQ
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1lsbx447f
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVYl8ccP1g
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9l7EfEMUn
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIzn5yQvNP
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviF5UUxbqj
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAkax6ECJV
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfrqHRSfRP
"Wait, what's going on?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEby25HyYjG
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUssKStwXLz
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE3wCohAXe
"I thought we should all979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5shCyxOwgX
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg55yLvhGL
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscYVGt0EM8
"But why do we have to put our heads together if there is you and G-Dragon who are better at song writing?" TOP asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2hE1IgtSV
"I don't know, I feel we979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnnwIF0rbq
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpMA8dAIlR
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhWbMrFv7Z
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiBTnqIpZ4
"I don't get it though,"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhs3kXAY2E
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mqj8CXHea
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV0eRExHzh
the lyrics?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB2a5PWxXu
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdH1uyqVJq
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhUO2MEbm0
This time, I also raised979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXgEv2RrkV
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2MRmknDYm
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrn21jTyon
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7hxHMJsDj
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgIRCz3KZV
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP912qCsC1
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfXZcAT1XM
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG5oUrm0kt
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMpvgcDANg
By the way G-Dragon 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFZtgewzBl
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLASfVRvy66
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Lzin4nIF
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdInvwEiaez
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I5LlkOKwJ
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAcMV5VRnZ
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9qDCmYUQC
"Maybe, it's because you're objecting to my idea and you just want to make up what would be a valid reason for it."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6k3BWSTUR
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8S3toy87o
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxVC8FEETO
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq53rnzGSGk
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgBXo5Etmv
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW2UnLl272
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZl215Q6q9
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuADBd1WTG
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQea0KoNBh
"What truth?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwrP3Kq2YY
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTQWinagGc
Taeyang was right. I was979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJKBgZQZwp
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0kSsAVxBc
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFq1qgoPeC
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVOROPZiF0
attention.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSADTZkoYc
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMd0pK3db2
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfavy3oHfn
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA30myZa4OR
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB54WCKK3OO
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOMicXHVUI
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUcHIEDw5J
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4dLPK1Nnv
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yUcGfL1Ob
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxq1KRnpJk
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjwf2Oq2ra
"But I....." 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD9Pqpjolo
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTBLbVDu1L
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZAqszVycZ
talked way too much, don't you think?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hBa3FyyB0
That felt like a slap in979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD933f1IVz
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEEgiRmtr8
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJmL3jQmFB
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjva3WuFsjs
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhLTHzMSQx
about what I thought was best for the whole group?979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWyEQpdJMb
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22zckJyXIc
"That's fine with me," said Mike.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFn0YNT1yT
Everyone else agreed, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDCNyFGBxO
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYY8nVqLUx
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZH6DuJ6sT
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecRbHDYnDI
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgW0dFH1jf
B, just in case.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwCa1YVDLV
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hQrL14UPI
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi4g0K8IVF
"Not now, Sam. We will 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jp4sGZggh
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdQqBSKvyX
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJYT1J7oju
gave me goosebumps.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRqWuuTFsH
"Way to go, Sam," said Zoey, as she also stood up from the table. "You just made him upset. I need to go calm him down."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw29TV03cD6
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvVDVXl7TH
One by one everyone 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdVAU52zD4
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMvhOwjqa5
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgMknYEq3z
appropriate.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGIRV48qLq
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7JgLkaIrw
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOCdF4ikKm
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgrJEB4D3L
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIddrXoVG25
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9wNj3jdXe
"It's not that. I pissed979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNOTssBC5A
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdEJCDDkHp
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3eX1Z6Wmn
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRLtCjsQeH
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ3eyjW9fy
Taeyang placed his hand 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacdS9XUMqm
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z9KXsNzsQ
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjJCAUnbE9
I knew I had to hope for979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiH7zyJF2J
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxP2lPYrhU
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIiLYC4KWn
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XkoddXBbm
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIns5XMPdF
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
