"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRFDJpm3sK
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbS1qpfB1I
"You know I need to look good for G-Dragon, Sam," said Zoey from inside.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VFGNCYqEL
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTmtdKD2ht
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ShvlQk9oz
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMmunWQNLL
"Are you done yet?" I asked. "You don't have to look like a princess, you know. It's just a tour."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG6nLS4d6f
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUSGmxr8nj
"Hey, I don't want people to think I'm a tourist. I want to look fabulous."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAx7d1FmXs
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h4arCGMLX
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs5axteSSP
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9LZXjIMM2
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4RyyOxpbT
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCGdgm5cNy
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvIapIx8pM
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRWG9ZixIA
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfJGVaNobH
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjD4pjcI2M
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwhIN9nVdI
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf3NIhqQs8
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLARFPBSswJ
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RKrIf3kCx
"Haha, very funny," said Zoey sarcastically as she furrowed her eyebrows at me. "Let's go. The others must be waiting."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV3XBaywYn
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fNJwttKuy
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpMYdqpcHH
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vqLBKrsAg
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDgYTDeD4p
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ni0v8SLpW
As Zoey and I walked over to the front doors of the hotel, we found Collins and the others waiting outside.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseBgmeVzdh
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AQcnbgQHs
"It's about time," said Collins as we approached. "You take way too much time to get ready, Zoey."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiCPAUYiHY
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfR6e3XGbE
"Thank you, Collins," said Zoey, brushing him off. "I know I look fabulous. You don't have to tell me."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclQbuoJKdx
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb1wGOGUN2
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXyLBFDg6x
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp1pdqNJC3
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMQyLSbjp3
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFahp066BsP
"Aren't they supposed to be here by now?" Mike asked. "It's already nine o'clock."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmpfrqFxkc
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdyrphm6N9
"Don't worry, they'll be here," said Lee. She stared at the gate. "Oh, look. Here they come now."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6PfwJW7P7
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSEQSAQWk2
Three black BMW SUV cars appeared at the gate, and the fans were screaming like crazy.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyiGKaMX44
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNU1NNbhXn
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHm8jy73NF
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRESAlqUUg
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKCGu7OQPs
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QHzQzQck5
"Hey, where is your head this morning?"989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVjXDfx7SO
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJzvGzSVA5
I jump in fright, and when I turn to see who it is, I furrow my eyebrows.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmds1oJnGha
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaMwOqiz2j
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BnhcjVGZ4
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6aCXyvB5W
"I'm not going to get a good morning from you, then?" he asked.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnSqR9cnGM
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHEHjcNAth
"Don't mind her, GD," said Zoey as she came to stand right beside me. "She doesn't want anything to do with you."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHTw2NeINB
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuunzDziHJ
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzx3FW5zZG
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qbLds31PV
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgreDm1Yh5V
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoXKrZNEaP
"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!989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSgDeWh43h
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAhz72h1G4
"I'm not doing this," I said and walked away, heading to one of the cars.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7EeyBsK7M
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtStCL2xDV9
"Morning, Seungri," I said to him as he jumped out of one of them.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDSCoCoyMe
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeLdAYPbyQ
"Morning, my panda," he said cheerfully as he pulled me into a hug.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMeBH0bSKL
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJGfoOfoYy
"Panda?" I blushed, as he still had me in his arms. I then remembered that he loves pandas.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt3oFPQBnC
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG146MjkUpm
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZUfeL2Riz
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjuYuWOCaR
"Let's just hope you don't get me into trouble while on tour," I said.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx93grT88b
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFCBc3xEac
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdpnLC9DYK
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFpBr1pfp4
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?989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq5DrMTqJp
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDHCbslFkh
"I know I'm trouble," he whispers, "but you're also one because you're messing with my mind right now."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwksxx3Sxu
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1o4AJ2N6b
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox1gZ4Rxei
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn08UYl7NWu
"Excuse me, am I interrupting?" came Taeyang.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WL0WUgyKu
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Tj6m5F7n
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdaF6KY7tW
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xjv7bTsDM
"You came just in time," I told him, my cheeks still blushing. "Tell me Collins didn't see that."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOeywUPbF9
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENbSjjnuT4
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlsXddOSo6
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzzGegegtX
"Ah, come on," said Seungri. "You ruined my moment."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlXDTe2GLU
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63vepusBpG
"You could've gone somewhere more private, then," said Taeyang with a smile on his face. That made me feel even more embarrassed.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzfIg3KDbB
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx9kay5dot
"Well, I'm just glad you interfered," I said as I tried to speak. Somehow, my throat had suddenly become sore.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiRhCSnLrV
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWDUpULy3W
"Okay, guys, we better get going," Collins announced. "We don't want to waste any more time."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8PLcMubaq
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjNEPzfzXR
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkLsTclsBC
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8pgWGU5qL
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS4LbAcZAc

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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oT7wAxAJW
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSPgmm1Hbv
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NZVEPf0kW
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3O5bIwu4M
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLGqBW3wDS
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEF3mngJpu
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQwuJvtDwi
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYydCFKYj9m
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmaDQrUAwJ
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPNOB7qAGo
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD18cd8zTJ
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU7PRHgZQC
"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!"989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTLssvsPrO
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKVzfz8cHf
"Thanks," said Mike with a crooked bad boy smile on his face. "It clearly shows that you are."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdePYrmxFQQ
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LJU07XG0f
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVbNwQQEMn
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbyQLhfCVs
"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?"989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbQYios4hn
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxi65wPQWI
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsmJxLibZt
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBULRVhwq4I
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEHEQ5rXaq
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7brK7L3hk
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYpCo1rCTa
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ5Jy3QWWS
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR04G4FLoFc
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BveuGMJMx
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcKh8VR5uQ
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBxID0EggX
Zoey, Christine, and I also took pictures with those dressed in pretty, colorful Hanboks. I wish I could have one myself.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NNDGVNMbI
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzVV8TN3AN
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8clsDs19b
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWqJyMNRHP
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrZoP1IJDY
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TrzMSYjhh
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgpgelCP93
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE36REVNK1
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoKoYAlEQ4
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SX5LADNpg
"All the more reason for you to delete it," I said. "Give me the phone!"989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3mpz6u82F
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc3VgrPh1Z
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMYyZqGrxS
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtK7BapsLD
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESfX8OQVP5
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA8PQmvy4a
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt9oEeQZ0K
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAqUfglU6m
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" I asked with my arms folded.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou4b5S7SgM
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2mUrlNAfK
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:989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRKoZsYB2q
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKgqjYLMJ3
"I want you to kiss me in front of everyone here, right now."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3epy5O88KC
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv2XXvTJcj
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmWtAfrwAA
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZbB7GjnOg
"You win, T.O.P." I said. "You can keep it."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkMv1WUQwy
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLuibeYUqm
"Aww, I was really hoping you would take up the challenge," said T.O.P., looking disappointed.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosyKARPNa6
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSARU4XOVGH
"Well, you've put me in a weird position right now, and that I cannot do."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKyLwPTnGp
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVyGG2BCXJ
"If you want, we can go somewhere more private." He winked. I blushed again.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbooZ9rqZdy
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aIRAQwDXG
"No, thanks. Like I said, you can keep it."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOu4v7NQDp
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZouNzRWFwO
"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?989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPNTi9vs68

"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLNYIYP1kA
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ128MF2CmnX
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha7DjUIx6V
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoattTBkDk

989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk0F7CpvkL
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuMYeXhRUM

989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJtEbLgM6M
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4i7Z5DSw0

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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oSIbwk5R2

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?989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9zQAnCNHt

"Am I the only one who's feeling like this?" Christine asked as she walked beside me, also taking a look around.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yNiraIWiD

"What?" I asked.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv1ybWwJJ4

"Haven't you noticed? There are so many couples around, and I feel so left out."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkxl6QjFVa

"You aren't the only one," I said. I sighed as I looked at one lovely couple passing us, holding hands.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXymYBTEKhF

"This is worse than France," said Lee. "Even I feel envious."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxSrjthSHJ

"Argh..., love. Disgusting," said Daniel as he poked his tongue out as though he had just tasted something bitter.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPIktlMYAQ
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Syd29RdCj
"Don't say that, Daniel," said Seungri. "One day, you'll know what love is and how much you really need it, right, Sam?"989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWR0ysHFme
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48yEFkSPG9
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttWFIpsI0y

"Seungri, you're doing it again. Stop intimidating her," said Daesung. My second guardian angel. "Your questions are really annoying sometimes."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lTfJgLv0Y
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzae41IFlpF
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rqXJfNgZB

"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48bOyPvYz3
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHObp0zSnc
"I think it's high time Sam found herself a boyfriend," Zoey blurted out. "She needs a little love in her life."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLGwXCjm1Y
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn1NYbkUJl
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzk1NEkYjT

"Are you seriously bringing that up now?" I asked. "That's a little personal, don't you think?"989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVKDizohYA
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ9hrX86rJ
"We should rather avoid it," said Taeyang.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Gf4uzUig
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AGZFHYTg3
"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."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAv2khMiEk

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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pwu3eNP4O

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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHCds3rUQ9

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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET6co6lUUA
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMkHBd3gAG
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45VY4pOKOC

"You can lean on my shoulder," said Daesung. "That's if you're okay with it."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBFuUZleqM
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYP3Od2oOZ
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD3XGNXKow
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ2ZExInhA
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw9xuaqCxb
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz94iQo2cGy
"Sam, wake up; we're already here," he said.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVntP2KW5G4
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxILc2ykEV4
"I'm so tired," I muttered with my eyes closed. "I don't think I can move right now."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtaCkSLndl

"Fine, I'll help you out of the car," said Taeyang as I heard him open the door.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ60CZ2dU0
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMYwregG4C
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7grSjcbIT

"You can put me down now," I told Taeyang. He slowly and gently did so.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yEFf79atJ

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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCfhKzoI2d
989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DCoOlWP9h
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.8964 copyright protection985ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZfNhnVnQc 維尼
