Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 14: So Much For Trying

I slowly opened my eyes 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerWrRoJGyr
to a bright and warm morning. I yawned and stretched on my bed. It was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMhpI1Ahg5
then that I realised that I had not slept under the bed covers and my Mr1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8MMLxeKGa
Panda acted as my pillow the whole night. My notebook lay beside me and1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k5aNRGu7K
through my half closed eyes, I took a look at it.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzAL5iwOo0

I had tried to come up 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjz2YR6m29
with some lyrics for the first verse and also the chorus for the song 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WqjtLkHmJ
last night. There were a few cramped up papers on the bed and some on 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ1NXuzFEN
the floor. I made a couple of mistakes until I found the right lyrics 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEtkT8ssDu
for the chorus. Hopefully, G-Dragon would find the lyrics okay.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbClwj8Ugs

I rolled on my bed and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfh1Wp2mCm
reached for the other side where the lamp stood on a small chest of 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvCrtfiRmJ
drawers. Beside it was my phone and I took it. With my back still on the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDroeIdcqYY
bed, I texted G-Dragon about meeting at YG. He immediately replied to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn6JwosGcd
my text. Looks like he was also up early.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9PeyvZMcv

His text read: "Okay, I'll see you there, Pikachu. ;-)"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lY0uSELQy

I smiled at the text. And I quickly replied: "Seriously? You're still calling me that? Pikachu is long gone now."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eckeeVQwQ

He texted back: "You will always remain Pikachu to me."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFIJ9OVNHk

I thought of what to reply next, but I decided to end the conversation right here by texting: "Meet you at YG. Say around 10?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8tEx6tLZm

"10 it is."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94GdHsV7R0

I quickly put my phone 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kye38dHYG
aside and sat up on the bed. I made sure to pick up all the papers on 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHlsAaEbzv
the bed and those on the floor. I threw them in the little waste bin in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItZjEVjP6l
the room.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRHqEQ2EbP

When I was done making 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDloPRbzmjg
my bed that was barely in need of it, I went to the bathroom to get 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywzbdHAhXH
ready. It was six in the morning and I knew I was really early. But I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxZlKDKKGF
had to go through a few things before I left for YG.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8qaEZnsHy

There was no need for 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhGHVyIgps
dance practice today so the rest of the group members were fast asleep. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFBsw2cNv0
After taking a nice hot shower, I was blowing my hair in the bathroom. I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LVY8GYV0f
thought the noise might wake Zoey up but when I went back to the room, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUTJpVfj2w
she was still asleep. She had her face mask on that covered her eyes and1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqsTjTUANl
her legs were spread all over the bed. She's not such a good sleeper 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgiHjpUnVW
and she was slightly snoring. She was really tired from all the fun we 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeuMWf8ARo
had yesterday.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW38emQVTss

I wasn't going to disturb her peaceful sleep, so I quickly dressed up, grabbed my phone and notebook and left the room.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTx0YunopY

As usual, the place was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv4wqfYUEb
quiet and empty. The others were still asleep. I went to the lounge and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFCyF9yC0z
sat there, going through the photos on my phone. Yesterday was fun.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWkbIfTZfj

After the fan signing 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw7hDjTWFh
event, we went to the mall for lunch and that attracted so much 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDs3e9A3bW
attention since I was in my Pikachu costume. We took so many photos with1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeZPI3LiSv
the fans and also signing some autographs. If it weren't for the body 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRmL6pmc0j
guards, I wouldn't have eaten my lunch in peace.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBJUlNB9or

Many people wanted to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhs3TcLIMu
take photos especially with me. I was on such high demand yesterday, but1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVsChCl5Ym
luckily, I was saved by the guards and I peacefully ate my burger. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUAkdcyyFR
took a selfie of myself opening my mouth to put the burger in my mouth. I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WlyoHE4N2
smiled when I looked at the pic. I had to admit, I did look cute in the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbYeaI6ziH
Pikachu costume.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡschE3t6RYR

When I posted the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DjD4ZuUhk
picture online, I got such cute comments, even from mum who immediately 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDAp6VGdRY
texted me later on last night when we got back to the hotel. She 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRvriU6mNB
couldn't stop commenting on how adorable I looked and she told me to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvcElTmVyn
make sure I carried that costume back home and wear it just for her to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdhaV6QHU2
see.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPacFTGjUF

I continued to look at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWse9RyR57P
the pictures taken at the food court and I looked at a selfie I took 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaXEaIBxfx
with G-Dragon. The both of us were taking smoothies and looking at the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy0wPfzyuR
camera with cute googly eyes. I also posted the pic on Instagram and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF6f2nM23R
people couldn't stop talking about it. I should have thought twice about1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWjgLJXvyr
posting that picture but G-Dragon didn't seem to mind when he saw it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM4XTOierf
online and posted a comment.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPNYKwTtC4

Speaking of G-Dragon, I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA083RlHlId
was quite surprised that he was talking to me again. Could it be that he1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH7D8gXJX9
wasn't mad at me anymore? We both had such a good time yesterday. And 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSypb6EevjS
if he was still mad at me, he wouldn't have responded to my text the way1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ClTDcrc6
he did this morning. He would have been formal and not have called me 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1NxOQQPij
Pikachu. I found myself smiling at the thought that he had called me 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkQJ3m5nPf
Pikachu. I sighed and I continued to look at the photos.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfFsrtDazT

There was one photo that1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI0nl5F6WY
made me laugh out loud. Before we had left the food court yesterday, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKfkuL2KnO
Mike pulled at my tail and that got me upset. Zoey was the one who had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe7PDfsXSB
my phone at the time and took the photo. Mike was smiling with mischief 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjLgS9PORT
at the camera when he pulled my tail and I was looking back at him with 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fVkWtm3pP
an angry stare. Daesung and Seungri were also in the photo, laughing 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yIMeOnF64
their lungs out. I would have chased Mike around the mall but that would1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9Lz5o1aYt
only grab attention and the fans would have followed us around. So I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUJHW2Di37
stayed put and pulled my tail away from Mike and walked away.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Gtny29If

I was still looking at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHkiJIb1Gm
the photos I had taken with the others, when I heard the sound of the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd4lvef9EY
door opening and closing. Looks like someone was now awake. I wondered 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVaeuid0ZQ
who it was. Lee soon appeared in the lounge in her white sleeping gown 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gqLODWJyd
and bed slippers. Seems like she had a really good night sleep given 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uqge9dTw3
that slight smile on her face. She walked up to me and sat down next to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIRWRJxpFW
me on the couch.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9v51HJ9l2

"Morning. Why are you so up early?" Lee asked, as she yawned.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ957GtlMuKk

"I've some things to go through," I answered. "Was working on the song last night."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzapKXEbLf

"Oh! Did you manage to finish it?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ch9Jgi5ru

"No. I was really tired. I texted GD to let him know that we should meet to look at the lyrics."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpacI7o8Cm

"You texted GD?" Lee looked at me with a look of surprise.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcIBrThUku

"Ya, why?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZN62dp31I

"That's because yesterday, he wasn't talking to you until you wore that costume. Which by the way, you really killed in it."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvChrD6rsp

"Thanks," I said with a smile. "Please, continue."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dJpDcscmi

"Now he texts you early in the morning....wait. Was he formal or what?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8myVEONRV

"He wasn't. In fact, he called me Pikachu."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZcHdYHWSq

Lee's eyes seemed to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WgW652u5Q
bulge for a second. "Oh, that's cute," she said. "Looks like he isn't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpBgX09HIB
mad anymore. I noticed the way you two were talking to each other during1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz4l6jcH5M
lunch yesterday. And also, he couldn't stop staring at you during the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIuFf1inVU
fan signing event."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwznSIUOg5T

"Wait, you were watching? I thought you were backstage."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8bvUkc2Fn

"Well, I was at first, then I decided to join the fans in the hall and see how things were going."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVfttP1VCq

I could have told Lee 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo4TFc4PoG
that I already knew about G-Dragon giving me glances on stage, but it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerTfSXvXZr
was best to keep my mouth shut and act surprised.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHfcp4h7so

"I'll tell you who else couldn't stop giving you sneaky glances on stage," said Lee, with a playful tune in her voice.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakgmz6pnKV

"Who?" I asked, suddenly not interested as I continued looking at the photos on my phone.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtMWHqXGIo

"Daesung," Lee whispered in my ear.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GZNazF0TM

I felt the world had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUHj5iMMna
finally stopped as I stared at Lee. Was she telling the truth or was she1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESL5v5x3fP
just playing tricks on me? I clearly felt my cheeks blush so much and I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ7v6ZLMmo
pretended to keep swiping at my phone as I waited for Lee to go on.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj24Qz9HuN

"Ya, I was pretty sure 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ3CzazsEV
he was looking at you, so did TOP, Seungri and Taeyang," she continued. I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFeyburm6x
closed my eyes in relief. Looked like she was just joking around. What a1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvApdprxM6
relief.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKN8awtLBH

"I looked funny in that costume and you know it," I said as l looked at Lee. "They were bound to look at me the whole time."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4JilLlw1V

"Well, some were looking1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4ClxlIBiO
at you in amusement, but the others..." Lee paused for a second as she 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQcLDyihQZ
looked at her nails and then at me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tIIinTLNE

"What?" I asked as I shrugged my shoulders.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdS5gALZNE

"Well, you already know. Others were looking at you the way your male admirers do. With dreamy eyes and stuff."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Z5hMbFpy

"Stop joking around Lee. So not funny."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJxaHZ7ITc

"What? I'm just telling 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlag1ZfFsCk
you what I saw. G-Dragon and Daesung were staring at you like they were 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ir4XtSNi
your secret admirers. Are they really your admirers?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1lIaS5jdu

I frowned. "You can't count G-Dragon as my admirer and you know it." 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ148LF8zXJ6

"Why? Because you still think he and Zoey are perfectly meant for each other or do you still think he is still mad at you?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyo0Zawrg5

"Well, both."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBkCBTNcJU

Lee rolled her eyes at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxRqt84vsf
me and shook her head. "You're so hard to convince, aren't you? What to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3SXsEwr0Z
do to make you see that GD only has eyes only for you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPaQZyaafY

"No, he doesn't. The 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecH9eHHnEn
only reason why he spoke to me was because of our managers and the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o2WBNBNTq
group. Including the fans. I bet he knew it was going to be weird and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi6p1ekhMo
for everyone's sake, he just had to talk. Besides, don't forget I had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwliDS38CVk
that costume on, so I obviously looked funny."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68zpOaAHmQ

"Stop using Pikachu as an excuse and face the fact for once, Sam. What if G-Dragon is the only guy truly meant for you?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNiI3pHdXT

I hadn't thought of it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6TR3QSkKe
that way and I didn't like the fact that Lee had brought that up. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tk46pfuv8
wasn't going to let what she had suggested slip into my mind and stay 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPn3UP6Hay
there. I quickly stood up and went to the hotel landline to order 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxISQqcLNu
breakfast.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyG06bNwyE

"I'll have oatmeal and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU2RWhBI6y
some warm tea with milk, please," I said over the landline and then I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DGqxPF5sW
looked over at Lee. "And what will you have, Lee?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV8dPp7lXX

"Toast with bacon, eggs and juice," Lee replied and I said out the order.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvhtk8OYjy

"Don't you dare try to change the topic with me, Sam!" Lee warned as I put the landline down.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlW8Pjhkj9

"Come on, can we just drop this, Lee?" I asked, almost mourning. She knew me too well. "You know I'm not ready for such things."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PZwopLBly

"And when will you ever 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVjnX7ZWqR
be?" Lee folded her arms and she gave me a look only mum used to give me1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7HJ3isBCV
whenever we were having a serious conversation.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeKVVIPRlX

"To be honest with you, I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7D27NpGbp
don't feel like I'm ready to be in a relationship," I said, as I slowly1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQQEiYvRXF
walked over to Lee and down next to her.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSloVKQSkwo

"And why not? I know you don't like talking about finding a boyfriend, but what's so bad about GD?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHD5Enp3To

I sighed. Where was I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SimM9tmVu
going to start with all of this? I liked G-Dragon but I wasn't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoIoeftfw0
completely sure about how I truly felt about him or if I could consider 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3I4RjCvl9
him boyfriend material. He wasn't bad though. But what's happened the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIb08yHo6Q
past week kind of made things a whole lot difficult. I shouldn't forget 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDsljB3uyI
that there was Daesung too.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6jHx8Ngwy

Coming to Daesung, he 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4udK4m4yK
was...I don't know. What happened at the park last week Tuesday was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPB1gE8shT
still stuck in my mind. He never tried to bring up that incident ever 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstu8tog8ne
again and that kind of worried me a little. But I also had to question 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gJ1qZxuFW
myself. Did I really like Daesung? If I did, I would've tried to talk to1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9LVyxpEFj
him about it but instead I was as quiet as a mute. I also was to blame 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ4L1jWEby
for not bringing that up too.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKr8t7uFFP

I really liked Daesung. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhqpJPBVz6
He is so sweet and understanding. G-Dragon is also sweet and such a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNVoqJVLis
great guy with an awesome personality, until I saw his bad side. They 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDprDDvzdg
both gave me goosebumps whenever I saw them but I knew only one of them 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfhEGstlGa
stood out. But who? Liking both guys was wrong and I didn't like it at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2AkEJS8gK
all.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9VD65zMnr

"You look lost in your 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopgcRNu0Jl
thoughts, Sam," said Lee. "Are you trying to figure out what to say next1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3Bk56nFJ8
or is there something you aren't telling me?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67AfhacdNi

Lee was almost like 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmiTbFofef
Taeyang. It's like they always knew I was hiding something. Should I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf9J7d6ELd
tell Lee about Daesung too? I had to think real hard before I made a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxhaNQnZu8
decision and I had such little time in my hands. Luckily enough, our 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WBBTxrk8S
breakfast arrived and that gave me some time to decide whether to tell 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6qWipEtOZ
Lee or not about Daesung.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0SNkVpNLd

The room service left 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgeQktnI5s
our breakfast on the table and the two of us went to the dining table 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4a0xqEYTm
and sat down while I was deep in thought. I slowly put a spoon of 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3XYHi2sCE
oatmeal into my mouth and it tasted delicious. As for Lee, she took a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKn4cyd4qp
bite out of her toast and looked at me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjGSRe62mG

"Aren't you going to say anything?" Lee asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SexKQdcMc

"I don't know if I should tell you this or not," I started. "But you aren't going to like it."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCr4LMjEyf

"Spill," said Lee as she jumped with excitement on her seat and looked at me with her eyes so huge.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzwyn4BUNE

"Well, I...um..."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JL6vrliZy

Before I could say what I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYwlv8P0vs
wanted to say, my phone rang. Someone was calling. I looked at the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHQKQTVu5P
caller ID and I almost dropped my phone to the floor because my hand 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGGPncqRBb
shook. I managed to keep my hand steady as I continued to look at my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFUrHVD0ZK
phone.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk9GzyNH0p

"Aren't you going to answer it?" Lee asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdxiIBnpkp

"I...eh...can you give me a sec?" I asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweeHn0owK1

"Ya, sure," said Lee.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2ebDhNAJq

She didn't seem to mind 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsTDVEF0Af
as she continued to eat her breakfast. I left the table and walked over 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTfya0iDI9
to the balcony. I answered the call and put the phone to my ear.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR6S3Oa6K8

"Hey, morning," I answered, trying my best to sound normal.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH6l2UGHhz

"Hey, black kitty, or can I call you Pikachu?" Daesung said.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFhStF1IHa

I swallowed hard. "This name calling is completely getting out of hand, don't you think?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1mOYVO9tF

"Really? You don't like your new name?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6slQUZwpq

"Well, not really," I said, as I felt my cheeks flush. "Pikachu is long gone and I don't need another nickname."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeP97u6bke

"Alright, I'll try not to call you Pikachu then. I just wanted to ask if you would be busy today."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxkNnRbClg

"Oh, uh..." I scratched 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyAR6IsNTC
my head. "Well, yes, I'll be busy. I have to work on the song with GD, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5bjoODBSl
remember? We have to finish on the lyrics before the managers get to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PuqrvgAu3
look at it."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOfUUYT73Z

"But it's a Sunday, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpecckuGTr
Sam," Daesung sounded as though he was whining over the phone. "I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwwiWdfp06
thought we were all supposed to be resting today."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx67anJNEZ

"I know, but I'm sorry it had to come to this, Daesung. We really need to work on the song, like urgently."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEFBDWQ7f0

Daesung sighed. "Well, okay, if you say so. Maybe next time then."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgGdvRjjjs

"Wait, were you planning1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLdQu8usx4
on taking me somewhere this morning?" I became really interested this 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2meWnZcth
time around. I walked over to the rail of the balcony to take a clear 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcHUXz1DOr
view of the city.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKcEfhnE00

"I wanted us to have breakfast together." I smiled that Daesung had thought of that. I couldn't stop myself from blushing.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTZysmWREP

"Well, you should have thought of that way earlier," I said, still smiling. "I'm having breakfast with Lee right now."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMCKxGtITx

"Ya, I'll make sure that I will tell you earlier on in the future."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1aFHCKibP

"You better. Anyway, I better go. My oatmeal is getting cold."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H8B96ZRdh

"Okay, maybe we'll meet later on in the day?" That sounded more like a suggestion.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfYejZRc1r

"Hopefully we will. Bye, Daesung."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAjaSs968s

"Okay, bye."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HsjVL4IWA

I cut the line and I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bx9tFig6r
couldn't stop smiling to myself. I quickly turned away from the balcony 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGtaSxZwKq
rail to start heading back inside. I saw Lee standing by the door of the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIJvFNcudF
balcony, looking at me with her arms folded.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfDtPr2ZC7

"Was that Daesung?" Lee asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIwoy82GRd

My smile had completely been wiped off my face when I saw her. I knew there was nowhere to hide.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HsS3OPOvi

"Yes, it was," I replied.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FGHJo9h3t

Lee didn't say anything 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5cs9yikHS
at first, until her face looked like she was about to burst into 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb8lmztWy4
laughter. She did laugh and she came towards me and held my shoulders.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZqX50pF1C

"Oh my goodness, I knew 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWetLRsHLc
it!" Lee said with excitement. "I knew Daesung had a thing for you. Why 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgBuwBxYwD
else would he call you to have breakfast with him?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT9884E5wg

This time, I felt my facial expression change. Lee had heard my entire conversation.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYvGGGCT33

"You heard my entire conversation with him?" I asked, frowning.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccsKN8dE4d

"Well, I couldn't help myself. Please, don't get upset, Pikachu. You look funny when you're upset."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEnNy4Vf5g

"Don't call me that," I said as I brushed off Lee's hands on my shoulders and folded my arms.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi7W5GEoUu

"Okay, I won't call you Pikachu. But I just had to listen. I was right about Daesung that he liked you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNuY3nwkXe

I didn't say anything as1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2JRJoYnsh
I felt my cheeks heat up again. I looked the other way, but that didn't1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7wxz06OLS
stop Lee from noticing the blush on my face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CoSJJkmcH

"You already knew, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakb9JbEPPZ
didn't you?" Lee asked as she pointed at my face. "Is that what you 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRStllcMhSe
wanted to talk to me about before he called?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64qQR4PO42

I knew she would figure it out in one way or another. I rolled my eyes and nodded.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB84eYXNABY

"I already knew, Lee," I said. "Don't tell anyone, especially Zoey."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfoLBYmHpy

"My lips are sealed. Were you ever going to tell me this?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT3m9bLnqn

"No," I replied.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwX9gjYneM

"Cute. But seriously though, now you have two guys who really like you. If not two then three."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW761UVheLf

My eyes felt like falling out of their sockets as I turned to look at Lee.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ukqlR3ofM

"Three?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy7wCBrsKb

"I'm counting TOP. You don't look surprised."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0RsWvkkdj

"TOP still remains in the balance," I said. "I know he likes me. But I think just us being good friends seems more appropriate."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrFHO47uEd

I walked back into the lounge and Lee followed behind me. We went back to the dining table to finish our breakfast.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp67S3izb5H

"So, you wouldn't count in TOP then?" Lee asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhjv2ImXAi

"No, I wouldn't." Thank 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2bL0q1TWY
goodness my oatmeal and tea were still hot. "TOP is awesome and all, but1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEh4jEXxag
I wouldn't get too serious with him."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDZtoa4kwQ

"Why? His good looks and charm might make you fall for him?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpeSB6Szg8

"No." I blushed as I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6D9Qf0qAR
took a sip of my tea. "He does make me nervous, yes. But I...." I was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoULyD8dHPV
completely lost for words. I shook my head.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BbRTWZYjI

"You know you two would 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt5BN51v0Z
make a great couple, right? His good looks and your beautiful face, just1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NwZsFOW37
perfect. TOP has such good looks, no wonder, he's an actor. He has that1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDeL3TTWtj
charm that makes you want to stare at him forever. Even when he appears1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXydPass4Gw
on TV."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4kWE2RQQk

"Ya, you're right. I see that too."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj9go9DGNp

The two of us ate in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVblJkxTE7u
silence until we started to talk about something else. I was glad we had1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i5qhDJgSv
changed the topic on guys and focused on what to expect ahead of our 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxWG1MLHZo
stay in Korea. It then came to me that even though Lee and I were 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D60dAWOoy
discussing whether G-Dragon could be considered the perfect boyfriend 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgRx28zUwB
for me or not, I wasn't going to stay here for long and who knows, I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOIjDkH3j5
might not ever come back here again. Ever!1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cQxl9191b

Lee also had that in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ543KTbrx2q
mind and spoke about it for a while. She sounded a little sad though. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T35c1I6I0
Just like me, she was also going to miss this place when we leave for 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBOGKYPDXm
home. I bet the others would feel the same too. That's why we had to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSs8LuB0kg
make the most of our stay here even though we had such strict managers 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YZbN0gUh1
breathing down our necks all the time.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8kmz4u3kj

"Oh, Sam, I forgot to tell you something about the song," said Lee.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbnNvSsAOO

"What is it?" I asked. Something told me what she was about to say wasn't going to sound good to my ears.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ759tepy3eS

"The managers want to take a look at the lyrics tomorrow," she said.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNATbPslZH

I almost spit out the oatmeal in my mouth.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OTkJFddWJ

What the HECK!1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYUZoLgmmf

All this felt way too 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkHZwbpZkf
soon. If they gave us till Wednesday it would have been better. But 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1EnePuNTs
MONDAY! I growled and rubbed my forehead. No wonder Monday is the worst 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kv3sFCzE5
day of the week.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtdnrQoZ95

"Are they serious?" I asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqdY46z57c

Lee looked at me with a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMQxK0S0sI
shocked expression. I bet she was expecting an outburst from me. FYI, I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRtNKVbwvv
was also as surprised as she was.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6SEhs7b5e

"Oh, I'm surprised you aren't upset," said Lee, watching me closely.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjX1ngTpLY

"I am, but an outburst is Zoey's thing."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIImjR4KJfY

"I know, but you look calm. An outburst is more like you and appropriate at the moment. Aren't you upset?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqZaY3xmZb

"I am."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkghEXtEAou

"Then why aren't you screaming your lungs out in anger?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xyIaVk3Do

"Lee, I don't....." I held my forehead for a second. "I don't know. I'm as surprised as you're."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Oosxj826n

"Don't tell me you already knew."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyAj6C1FcU

"When you told me you 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJVKFsIYnH
had something to say about the song, I had a feeling I wasn't going like1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c3XXqYe9i
it. I'm upset, but I can't shout or scream. It's not going to change 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTUUpbdNDZ
anything. It's like I knew what was coming."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9vyv84Usp

"I wish I was a little like you. So calm and not a care in the world."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d5wIEPXD7

"Are you kidding? If it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35xFRmpsaT
was any other day, I would've called Collins and argued with him over 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9KNHVU5v6
the phone. Looks like it just wasn't today."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2PPGarOIl

"So, what are you going to do about it?" Lee asked as she looked at her empty plate on the table.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlxVC3v8GK

"Tell G-Dragon about it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXgIr9TPFx
and try to finish the lyrics. He won't like it, given that so much 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXBaBbuvMW
happened last week and we had little time to work on it."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0Xlx2d3jm

"Ya. You do that. Too 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuVeHBOTHB
bad you've to work and these guys have to stay and do nothing the whole 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqotJvIAiw
day. They are planning to go round the city and maybe shop for a few 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE67066wod
things."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6xDLgraqk

"Let me guess," I said as I stood up from the table. "Zoey's idea?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uc5N3fOF4

"Yup. Let's just see if the boys will agree. They might as well stay here and play video games the whole day."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm8lNBxGK9

"That won't be a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2b06FCoXm
surprise. Anyway, it's almost eight. I still have plenty more time to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQWvgmPPuy
look at the song for a few minutes before they wake up."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCL7OORbnC

"You do that. I'm hitting the shower."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt3aTMinqO

I went back to the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TByYIYdqw
comfortable couch I was sitting on earlier and Lee left the lounge. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYfvVeUDy3
got my notebook and I continued to look at the lyrics. I started to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt29qQXIdOZ
think of the second verse and started to write on a sheet of paper I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxNB3S66gx
tore from my notebook, in case I made any mistakes.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj730RtXBaJ

I was staring up at the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZRuabgOTY
ceiling, trying to come up with a rhyme and maybe even a punchline. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KJFIQtnTW
was moving my lips silently, a little habit I had whenever I was writing1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxTEBjlAYN
lyrics and trying to find the right words that would sound just fine 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtJyGYeg4U
for the song.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadPVnAXjx6

"Hey, Sam, what are you 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBJaXdsYVw
doing?" came Zoey's voice from across the lounge. I looked up from my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqTjXFeTbv
notebook. Zoey was in her sleeping gown, walking slowly towards me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBusIf5l7t

"Working on the lyrics," I answered.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXetCmBzz6A

"I thought you were supposed to do that with G-Dragon."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeJMZbD70s

"Yes, I am. Just came up with some new ideas and I plan on looking at them with him today."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL13t6hTznO

Zoey sat down beside me and asked, "today? Why today? I thought we were all resting?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oSNSLwdxk

"Well, we're are so behind and the managers plan to look at the lyrics tomorrow."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc0dhC6gYP

Zoey rubbed her eyes and yawned. "Alright, you do that. Too bad you won't join us as we go out shopping today."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BDcVg05xC

"Ya, Lee told me," I said as I crossed out a word on the paper I was doing my rough work on.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAeoEwCVFD

"I noticed you were up 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkty1oXKOog
almost the whole night. What were you doing?" I paused as I looked at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPBIY5XOBP
Zoey. I couldn't tell her I was working on the lyrics or else she would 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c5EwNRuxB
get real suspicious. What was I going to say?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTTBDI0ByY

"Um, just looking at stuff online."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0MdWeew2p

Zoey looked at me with 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7FFXwuj0G
an eyebrow raised. With what I said, I could see she was fully wide 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs3L3jJY0c
awake now. I was ready for the questions that were bound to come my way.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitPY3xWSky

"For real? You're never a1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhrcuJ2iyH
fan of checking what's going on online unless you're just checking on 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX7E44oDq9
random stuff," said Zoey. "And to stay up late at night? That's so 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO03dRLcCq
unlike you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiQBpIt6vm

Damn it! Zoey knew me too well.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cgW4PizVn

"Well, yes. I was checking out random stuff on the internet, as usual," I said.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD9dvEJURW

"I thought maybe you were chatting with someone the whole night. Must be a guy and you're just not telling me."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nlDTWb9iB

Oh, no. Not again. I've talked enough about guys today and I didn't want Zoey to start making up silly stories.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvTHirH3nS

"So, who were you talking to?" Zoey asked as she turned on the couch to look at me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO70XFCbJK

"I wasn't talking to anyone, Zoey," I replied.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz97fmo0lIZ

"Really? You seem to have a certain glow on your face. Something tells me it's a guy."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KRIiIPfiH

I rolled my eyes. "Who 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHXJN3FL3U
can I be talking to late at night? And just because I have a glow on my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JAil47tWg
face doesn't mean a guy made me like this."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4kBvkL0vh

"I can guess if you want me to."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTOcZeFZZz

"Please, don't," I begged, clapping my hands together before Zoey could continue.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9PgBkvuoC

"Mmm, I guess since you 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszCHGnsHOO
had so much attention yesterday, I bet you made so many friends online 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rGRZljr5t
and only one guy, who's definitely Korean and totally hot, caught your 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFWtC2N8d4
attention and you had such a long conversation."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK1rqeMsW0

"I told you not to say anything. When are you ever going to listen?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8IUAJsjUF

"When you tell me the truth."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uFhu0b0NZ

"If you don't believe me then that's your problem."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic1pun4iR2

"Okay, okay. I'll stop. I see you almost want to blow a fuse."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmobyscD1pY

I sighed in frustration.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHm09xY1hr
"It's not that. I'm just a little upset that we were given a little 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi4xkDdpw3
time to finish working on the song, given that we had little time 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9qoUkPAem
ourselves. I feel so under pressure."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdiAzTnj7p

"Sorry. I know how you feel. Have you told Collins to give you guys a bit more time?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN8jb6VI3X

"Nah. Besides, now that there isn't just Collins but also Yang Hyun-suk too, they wouldn't listen to me."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC2jwymxea

"True that. You better finish working on it tonight."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Evu8Mcatp

I slowly nodded my head 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaS7pYS4vs
and all of the sudden, my phone rang. I wondered who would be calling me1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA22VD8hOT
now. Probably not Collins. I took my phone and looked at the screen.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsdCXMEya0

It was G-Dragon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbBgLjtrpK

"Who's calling you?" Zoey leaned closer and looked at my phone. "Oh! It's GD! Let me answer it!"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGXT1RIsUo

Zoey sounded so excited 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgwjoTqMSH
and she quickly took my phone. I didn't even have enough time to open my1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CAQRYaqq4
mouth and protest because Zoey quickly answered the call. I made a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8HrAUOVEQ
mental note to scold her afterwards.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkIBGHbAGM

"Morning, my lovely G-Dragon," said Zoey in a sing song voice. "Hope you had a wonderful night."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc0l4lDjc4

I hope G-Dragon wasn't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB8E2sh3X8
surprised that Zoey had answered my phone. I tried to take the phone 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cRXI9OOBr
away from her but Zoey slapped my hand away as though it was a fly. For 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqJDVp05AH
crying out loud! It was my phone after all!1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEVrJF8SUt

"I also had a lovely 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQLylg3BPP
night too," said Zoey as she continued her conversation. "Tell, me, what1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvrzSGNPRS
did you want to discuss with Sam over the phone? Is it about the song?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeUYICIvA6

One thing I hated about 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1llJypvXm
Zoey answering my phone calls, was that she was so pokey. She had to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4T4blpRoy
know every little detail like a news reporter. If it was someone she 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLqsHKdqaN
never knew on the phone, she would start to ask the person's name and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOP1SLtRv1
other details like where they worked or whether they were married or 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBj4fo16WP
not.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcIHV0MJWE

"Come on, Zoey," I protested. "Give me the phone."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr978vgbLT

I tried to grab her 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCuQU1qq4i
handholding my phone to her ear, but she quickly avoided my grip and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83HfE6hnXF
stood up from the couch. I stomped my foot on the floor like an angry 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfcyQppwLy
child.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pNSU58DO8

"Oh, I'll tell her just 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg36VaW3YCd
that," said Zoey as she looked at me with a mocking smile on her face. I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdPZGP6t1C
wondered what G-Dragon told her now.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NFftVmYse

"Let me talk to him, Zoey," I said as I stood up from the couch.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCXDe2is1a

"Oops!" Zoey held the phone away from her ear. "The line went dead."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAttAxLkyR

I took my phone away from her. "What did he say?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYGC7fkvTw

"Get ready, my little kitty," said Zoey. "G-Dragon is picking you up. He will be here in a few minutes."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPWKrYGxwU

"That's not necessary. I can easily just go with the driver."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbejY1v6wuL

"Well, boo hoo for you. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEC7aeb7hd
We are planning to go out using the car today for shopping and looking 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQQF8YaVjN
around Seoul. You going with G-Dragon will be fine."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkeWYR7cwR

"Okay. Maybe you're 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWRiASJUQq
right." Zoey smiled at me and said, "go get your shoes. G-Dragon will be1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrdb7Xy7at
here any minute now. You don't want to keep him waiting"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrzXHDAKbn

"Eish, Zoey," I folded my arms. "You sound like my mum the day I was going out for prom in my senior year."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAnN7jtTxg

"Oh, I do!" Zoey took it1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxL4w2oUS9
more like a compliment. "It's not like you and GD are dating anyway. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEUWHb86ag
Besides, let's not talk about prom now. You know what happened on that 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaL3hHFFJ9
prom night and you don't want to relieve it."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2V5LEAm4g

I thought about what 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax8DxEmNkl
Zoey said and I knew she was right. My last prom in senior year was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p7vWoeLbd
horrible and I shook away the thought right away.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf3GVxS74N

I went to the room to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZTp613k3Z
get my slippers and I was heading back to the lounge. This time, Zoey 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG3DkZjOjV
wasn't alone. Christine and the boys were awake and they seem to be in a1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xwfGJycGE
heated argument already. I had only been in the room for a few minutes 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lww9T5Gcl
and a lot had already happened.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr605fD3il

"We're not going shopping," said Mike. "We will do it at a later time."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9OXVWtNHR

"But what's so important1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh21XCyFgAV
that you have to use the car?" Zoey asked. "Don't tell me you plan on 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jcV88oKj8
just looking at gaming stores the whole day instead of shopping for 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVQ9X3ZN6k
clothes."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvJ3sKKItq

"Well, ya!" Daniel replied. "Shopping can come at a later time just as Mike said."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5dVQwQ3w3

"No, Zoey and I have to go shopping and it will be a whole lot of fun if you come with us," said Christine.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAxQb6m0SJ

"No way, we aren't shopping with you," said Mike.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCDdosSSSX

"And I don't think we are in the mood for boy stuff either," said Zoey, with her hands on her hips.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNaFm2coV3

"Whoa! People! Stop it!"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOP8iU4h1e
I announced as I came in the lounge and stood in between the guys and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BH2o1FDIc
the girls because they looked like they were about to tear each other 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqStopOeWp
apart.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNpOfOAGgl

"Talk some sense into 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD0nY3Qf4M
your brothers, Sam!" Zoey sounded threatening this time around. "Tell 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovqwKzl4fE
them they can do all their stuff later and come shopping with us."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDiH4MoCYJ

"Sam, don't listen to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4pWQSPMDX
Zoey," said Daniel. "They can go shopping another day. And I don't think1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt2RHtKcTP
shopping on a Sunday is appropriate. Don't you agree?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjfOnQCqig

"Look, you guys! 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr5a160H3U
Fighting isn't going to solve anything," I said. "Instead of shopping 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3qLNLMhsX
and going out to check on games, why don't you just go sight seeing 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrJFEy8Y5R
again? If that doesn't work, you can do both your separate things then 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbILS90ioiM
meet up somewhere when you both decide to come back to the hotel?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFq8uun3At

"Doing our own stuff seems fine," said Mike. "I'm not just in the mood for shopping. Yet."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq53N2fpEo3

"There! Problem solved," I said with a smile on my face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgeU3oKc35

"You guys really know how to create drama," said Lee as she came to the lounge, all showered and dressed up.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mU0tgujMY

"Tell me about it," I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXLcixGdC3
said as I rolled my eyes. "Lee, GD is coming to pick me up to head for 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkbai9BSCK
YG. Please tell me you will look out for these guys while I'm gone."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGrTbeXcP3

"Okay. Hopefully, Collins won't ask me to run any errands for him," said Lee.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxNe8aPzw8

"By the way, do you have any idea where he is?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKZ3eHclDG

"Nope. No idea."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH05sC3l7o

"Whoo!" Zoey cheered loudly. "No Collins means, more fun for some of us!"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkan9o7kT2

"That, I totally agree with you," said Daniel.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneIsKPkgpN

I shook my head. For me,1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUatgKOxFhf
no sign of Collins meant something out of the blue is going to drop on 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwULeoHJsd1
us like a bomb. I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up on the evening 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst4ACpkzrR
and say something that might either be a surprise or something terrible.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs0z8Bmr2N

My phone beeped and I saw a message from G-Dragon telling me to come downstairs.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPJpK8hPTs

"Guys, I've to go now," I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcDtAKiO34
quickly rushed to the couch where I left my notebook, took it and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONUVi41INF
walked out of the lounge. "Behave, okay," I looked behind me and sent 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeblJkV8nc
them a warning look as I approached the elevator and got in.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXKFU453MQ

"We will. You've fun with GD," said Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLysQwDXiXP

"I'll try," I muttered 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CZu5w4XjJ
to myself, grateful that Zoey was too far to hear what I said and the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iyMI5jv5f
doors closed shut in front of me. I reached the ground floor in peace. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9JPCdwC1N
And when I mean in peace, I meant no reporters and paparazzi around. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx2ymmBwOg
There were a few people I waved at before leaving the lobby.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV47zk7axrj

I found G-Dragon waiting1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NzCxl0FZj
for me outside leaning on his white posh Lamborgini. He seemed to be 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YhjWXMoXe
preoccupied on his phone because he didn't notice me walk out through 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37DTxLUEza
the doors.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KJ0USjGH7

"Looks like someone is busy," I said as I got close to him.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWhM78r5pD

G-Dragon looked up at me1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjShcp6YLbl
through his stunning sunglasses and he smiled. That also sent me 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeHWBRMAN3
smiling. This was the G-Dragon whom I first met the first time I came 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFoxCcxzAl
here.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eX7VrmfDd

He removed his 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wdr6T6qCB
sunglasses and put them in his pocket and continued to stare at me. Was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWSERqvpXZ
he really not mad at me anymore? I didn't want to think about that now. I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoQDufediw
had to think positively for once, but I still had my doubts.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QdSAstynN

"Hey, where's your Pikachu outfit?" G-Dragon asked with his eyebrow raised.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylNj1M0KiQ

"Not funny, Ji Yong," I said with my arms folded.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBLHvy3mzm

"Well you're Pikachu, aren't you? Everyone is now calling you that."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C684NCREl

"I'm not supposed to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotTR7CDAkg
care what people say. Pikachu is long gone and the only time I'm wearing1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AXitL1KoS
that thing again is when I'm going home."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzYDbfF7Jm

"Really? Why?" G-Dragon seemed to have found what I said amusing.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYCpAJLZwD

"My mum wants me to wear it when I go back home," I said. "She said I looked really cute in it."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ77RsJkTU

"You really did look 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEMTygmoPV
cute," said G-Dragon as he approached me, closing the gap between us. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECE4axiGSt
"In fact you look prettier every time I see you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCasoRlgoio

I gulped. Oh, no! What 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnDkchmz3J
was he saying? Was he acting drunk again? No, he wasn't this time 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHafZJwt5Z6
around. I could feel my face blushing right now and I looked down at my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA7aRHplSk
feet.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRESqPyqH9i

"We better go," I said. "We've to finish working on the song. Remember?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJpA5j09L0

G-Dragon slowly took a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjC3UMs7cz
step back with his eyes still on me. I breathed out a sigh of relief. My1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOII4n9Fik
face was getting hotter by the minute and I waved my hand at my face. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10adEC6l9R
G-Dragon laughed.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAY8o8980t

"What's wrong? Can't stand me being close to you because I'm too hot?" G-Dragon asked with a smirk on his face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiuaJ4rSYu

That was embarrassing 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQDfKd3LJd
and I looked at G-Dragon, startled. My face grew even more hotter that I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT22ULXwvpa
felt like a red hot chilli pepper. He was back to his old self alright.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ILcAaU9f
Mocking me as usual.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyATdGky2Ud

"Can we leave now?" I twirled a strand of my hair feeling restless.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g2AO1NOEU

"Okay, let's go," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGifpNxTqss

This time I felt like 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYOmMvQ0AS
melting. G-Dragon went to the car and opened the door for me. I went in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwlu173Vcp
and G-Dragon closed the door. I still felt a little awkward and I hoped 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6WSunDG9T
that no one saw all that. Hopefully not even the paparazzi who like to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZrk6jzkjI
hide around in the bushes sometimes and take pictures. That wasn't going1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7HhDuXvLA
to be good, not even for me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQsT57AUOp

G-Dragon went round the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTekxfvP8TI
car and got into the driver's seat. He turned to look at me before he 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8LK8SGdFr
started the engine of the car with a smile on his face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWDqYlMuu1

"You better buckle up, my little kitty," said G-Dragon as he put on his seat belt.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRuNl8vV7B

"You sound as if we are going on a trip or something," I said. "Don't tell me you are taking me somewhere else other than YG."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TzN0jB1bB

"I thought we were going to YG," G-Dragon looked at me as he turned the keys in the ignition.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNBZGA5Xga

"You tell me. You're the one sounding weird."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcQn3H1eB6

G-Dragon had a malicious1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEPz6BBgv5
smile on his face and all I could do was put on my seat belt. I felt 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCstbxyZYiv
like we were in for a rough and but yet joyous ride.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm6cZZIAcS

The car drove out of the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuEwTrjrXO
hotel premises and I swore I just saw people hiding behind the flower 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnO8DSLP2E
bushes near the hotel. Dang it! The paparazzi were everywhere these 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivRNVcr1Vn
days.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi4EdAzAh0

As the car drove through1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBK4fCdMB3
the streets, I realised we weren't taking the route we usually take 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoYIjzPV9M
whenever we were going to YG. I looked at G-Dragon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR0dfvzUfx

"Where are we going? I know we aren't heading for YG."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuw9sKZygH

"Don't want to grab a smoothie with me?" G-Dragon asked, his eyes on the road.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3V004Xnfd

I was dumbstruck. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6bDhD33ZH
didn't know what to say next. Going to grab a smoothie? That didn't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1gUWAn7L4
sound like a bad idea but he should have suggested it earlier. I felt my1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzvoLmmPkz
face blush and I wanted to slap myself for it.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSiew7Jrdx

"Getting a smoothie sounds great," I replied, shyly.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXqPO2Hz1M

What was wrong with me? 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBHGMJtAjV
G-Dragon continued to smile and I couldn't keep my eyes off him. I don't1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9KL3uWO8n
why I felt so drawn to him all over again like I had the first time. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJnCeMF8oz
realised that I hadn't looked at him that way for a long time. We had a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdZHTDAjcM
rough time together the past week. Maybe things were back to the way 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3SFqwI8sV
they were. But all of this felt like a dream that I didn't want to wake 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUKhZuGuCz
up from. I was scared that I would wake up and face the reality which 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnoVqF3fea
had always been a nightmare.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjtanIBRr3

"You can stop staring at me now, my little kitty," said G-Dragon as he turned to face me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlQlNDBjvY

"What?" I shook my head for a second, feeling rather confused.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGAeHC0fom

G-Dragon chuckled. The 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcjGauVco8
look on my face must have amused him a little. I felt myself blushing 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCBvfQ80U0
like crazy. Again! Something was completely wrong with me today. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH2ONaprwL
cleared my throat and looked out the window. It was then that I realised1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtLdbsDayA
what a big fool I was.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2J6Oj3XD8

G-Dragon had parked the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vKr98Prdk
car outside a small but decent looking store and I hadn't realised that 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVCrXNUcy6
we had reached our destination because I was busying looking at him the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOJuHa6ojb
whole time. I felt really confused and embarrassed at the same time. It 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb16CUhBe1P
probably showed all over my face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECYyf4O5te

"You couldn't stop 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47c8tnbvKb
staring at me the whole way," said G-Dragon. "The look on your face 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWRKfADbv2
tells me you were completely absent minded."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YPvteZabW

I gulped. Was it me or 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnQdU6On5S
the air in the car suddenly gone stale? I couldn't breathe and all I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF9pZkwENo
wanted was to get out of the car right away.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH63d2vwaS

"I wasn't staring at you." I managed to clear my throat at least. "You must be imagining things."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCD3SuzbdZ

"I'll believe that if you stop blushing then," said G-Dragon mockingly. "Come on. Let's go get a smoothie."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSSJ7h1uQu

I thought he would never1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQySQqiaXJ5
say those words. He got out of the car and I gave out a sigh of relief 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx1ua1iFqa
and stepped out. I was so relieved that I could breathe nice, clean and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrEv2qz0ak
refreshing air. I was feeling really compressed in the car and I was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAParDZrYFX
rather happy that I got out.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxG5b9H1hK

G-Dragon led the way 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNiN9mRzW9
into the store and I followed behind him. The store didn't look any 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWaUOBW31j
different from the ones back home and I was greeted by a sense of 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYqjoQqmFN
familiarity when I first stepped in.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DcFNZpEBo

I was taking my time 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsWcse6i5k
looking around while G-Dragon went to the counter to order our 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCtKT1ZiLs
smoothies. He already knew my flavour to order so I didn't have to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3RtAoTxhI
remind him.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6OAS5iWM5

I went around looking around the shelves. I don't know why I was walking around as though I was shopping here myself.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWLnpZ9jv1

When I turned round the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5p8wuHELj
corner to enter the aisle, I almost crashed into two women, who were 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlcLEkUDDl
probably in their late twenties. The two seemed to be in a conversation 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr9CBjw30j
and my sudden appearance distracted them.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSf68I184X

"Mianhaeyo, Sorry (미안해요)," I replied.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIR1N8DQYx

It was my fault I almost1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxpQ0XDNJj
bumped into them in the first place. Saying that felt appropriate. For a1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTpzZAwEjy
second, the two women were silent and looked at me in a strange way. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5bTIcJsjq
For a moment, I thought I said "sorry" in Korean wrong. But I was pretty1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2YJkz8cAN
sure I said it right though my accent might have sounded rather 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykTn95WHS3
awkward. When they suddenly screamed in my face with excitement at the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuzysjdszl
same time, I realised the reason why they looked at me that way.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfE2Dcu27g

"Oh my goodness! Am I dreaming!" one of the ladies exclaimed to her friend. "Is this really B.K?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ68Q1kpcn

"It is! I'm so excited!" the other replied.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd7EpjY2kr

The two women came to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzp1LF33Bn
hug me and I hugged them back. They suddenly took out their phones and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OPa6NmVJB
insisted that I take selfies with them. As usual, I gave in and took 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhl3WLjybU
some pictures with them.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ee9edr6Py

G-Dragon suddenly 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kPhmS4LNa
appeared behind us and that made the two ladies scream even more. He 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwKDkCGrVy
must have heard the screaming and came to fetch me. Too bad though. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ukez5qOLA
had dragged him to meet some of his crazy fans. He didn't seem to mind 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfkc4VRLar
when he joined us. I thought he would be mad at me for wandering around 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J7IIEtRqf
without him but he wasn't.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5DLualJGW

After taking photos with1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy8tY6nc6x
the two ladies, we went back to the counter to collect our smoothies 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84QC5Rw9ir
and walked out of the store. Luckily for us, there weren't much people 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspvRnZAc7
in the store. If they were, we would have really caused a ruckus.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunYfdDSmoM

When we got in the car, I took a sip of my strawberry smoothie through the straw. And yum! It was so good.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx3UaQT6wt

"This smoothie is so delicious," I muttered still savouring the flavour on my tongue.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq7AsKGiIx

"I knew you would like it," said G-Dragon. "I always come here because they make the best smoothies."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiePG7PPPQ

"Mmm, they really do." I took the straw in my mouth and with my eyes closed, I enjoyed the smoothie.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvcTQJQ9Tm

When I came to open my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6svTnshqI
eyes, I looked at G-Dragon beside me. He had his eyes on me the whole 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKVtKWF5We
time. I had nothing to say. I quickly stared ahead and continued to suck1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XbbAulsKu
in my smoothie.It was silent in the car for a while and I could still 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFjXkmea3H
feel GD staring at me. All this was feeling kind of awkward and all I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIfEmhfBil
wanted was to leave for YG right away.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJJgD4Uy9x

"Aren't we supposed to be heading somewhere?" I asked slowly, not looking at him.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsw5LbXc8u

"Why do you ask? Can't we just chill for a little while longer?" G-Dragon asked, as he sucked in some of his smoothie.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTCtOWCpTB

"I don't know. Because we are running out of time just sitting here and enjoying this smoothie."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJen88XpoA

"Does the song need some working on urgently?" This time he sounded so formal.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Q6eL3m1K

I imagined his eyebrow raised at me and I turned to look at him. I guessed right.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxxiLhwNcr

"I know I'm about to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROf8umMwMB
spoil your whole mood right now," I started. "But our managers are 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuPYEZ1xFM
planning to look at the lyrics for the song tomorrow."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA0y12Yhti

GD almost choked on his 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLIqFklSkj
smoothie and though it was a funny sight, I dared not to laugh out loud 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHHtUKXLGV
though a smile did come across my face. It almost felt like pay back for1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozXgG5HYiJ
all the times he teased me and I couldn't help but feel a little 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5GCTrgqYP
triumphant about it.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnQWCemqop

"You're joking right?" G-Dragon asked, regaining his composure.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRWeHo3j5w

"Do I look like I'm joking?" I asked, this time with a smirk on my face. I sipped some of my smoothie.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOiv9bD4cs

"I can't tell with that pretty face of yours. And besides, when you smirk, you look really hot."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoCc7qfoK8

This time it was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkkA20jQzO
G-Dragon's turn to smile and my turn to choke. I was coughing out so 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZd5ZnUwjE
loud until I felt G-Dragon pat me on the back. That helped a little but 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFLdGzHHLB
it didn't help hide the embarrassment on my face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjhmXz87RQ

"Don't do that!" I whined as I turned to look at him. My cheeks fuming hot.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ooSaYWgJ

"Do what?" G-Dragon asked with a playful smile on his face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bOuRcVNYw

"Aww, you know what I mean! Stop giving me such rubbish compliments!"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6beQ0Xadp

"Well, I am being honest." G-Dragon started to laugh.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhVQfIrASH

"Your honesty almost choked me to death."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zc07xI0KL

"Okay, fine. I'm sorry," said G-Dragon, this time, he gave me a genuine smile. "I won't try to flirt with you again."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeyofpn1Lo

"Were you really flirting or were you trying to make me look....." I paused.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQCI3Xxcoj

I went completely blank.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7DhKecmhO
What was I trying to say? G-Dragon gave me a look, waiting for me to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgRxcWcEPf
finish what I wanted to say. But I was completely lost for words.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooHxsZ2Ri6

"I'm trying to make you look like what?" G-Dragon asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw8tD6EMDg

I folded my arms this 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonWOwxECEu
time. I was really pissed at him but more pissed at myself for saying 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegHWeRi21f
something and ending up blank. I wanted to kill myself. This was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8pvJzliQY
embarrassing!1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4EO6U6izU

"Never mind, we better go," I said grimly.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AebdgZX1S

G-Dragon chuckled and I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JLiU2TlL2
still didn't look at him. My face was already as hot as it is. The last 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGuVHd1FyJ
thing I wanted was to cut my head off.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaggrZ2raMY

"Okay, my little kitty, we will go. Looks like I've teased you enough for one day."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP1bsU2SGz

"I'm glad you noticed." I looked at GD with an angry stare.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFofMOpiON0

G-Dragon shook his head 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZun0xyzC63
and smiled. He started the car and in no time we were already driving 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBsJz4q5Lm
through the streets. We drove in silence. I was still pissed and at the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uCC26bwdv
corner of my eye, I could still see G-Dragon smiling. Looked like he was1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RMQ4XUczu
relieving our little drama we had and he couldn't stop smiling to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDwuRDFUVs
himself. That made me pissed even more and I wanted to strangle him. But1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjJr4k4qMu
that would only cause an accident since he was driving, so I kept my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKqFqATQOt
shaking hands to myself.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGGd0OdO3K

I was hoping to get to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDPAVtQKXQ
YG as quick as possible, but we were stuck at the traffic lights. That 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOGSyeQ5to
was weird. Was it already lunch hour and on a Sunday too? The cars were 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzEPQmVkF4
moving so slow. This just got me even more pissed.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd2NRSqjQC

"So," G-Dragon broke the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ctOKaEas
silence. I rolled my eyes feeling annoyed. "Who told you that our 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw65xtz3Tw
managers want to look at the lyrics tomorrow?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJd4FgKF2Q

"Lee told me this 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrqQqp5bvk
morning," I replied. "I'm really mad that they want to look at it so 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HyIbrgyfT
soon when there was barely enough time to work on it at it at all."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx2lCUEC2Q

"You didn't look upset when I came to pick you up," said G-Dragon. "Or were you not planning on telling me?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7EIpxq9VX

"I was going to tell you. I just got a little distracted."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUIKmuWXpl

"By me?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTRivPvd8B

I turned to look at GD who still had that stupid smile on his face. I made a face at him and quickly looked the other way.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeEL4VtqFf

"No," I replied.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQrHuzLtkp

"Seriously?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4JrEfKXqu

"What do you want me to say?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL2n8mU1s1

"The truth."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKNFcuLXpG

Heck no! Telling him the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ULz00NQl
truth wasn't on my agenda. He was just going to tease me again. He 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBAYLvNNk2
already knew the truth. He was just taunting me until I said it out 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L1dPDAJEN
loud.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyjm7MA5LW

"I know you were distracted and don't want to say anything," said G-Dragon when I didn't talk back. "I understand."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn4MolsAFD

"If you already knew, then why ask me in the first place?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxqH6J3ITR

"So, then I distracted you?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5YqbaOufi

"Ya, you did!"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VvehUvWyx

My hand flew to my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH1dGkQdNN
mouth. I really let my guard down and I shouldn't have allowed that to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJgWqyJ6Rw
happen. What was wrong with me today? How could I let G-Dragon get under1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iZNO5Gy5V
my skin like that? He was so getting it this time. G-Dragon smiled and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqvKWtF4qx
that soon turned into laughter.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan8xZgxncW

"You admitting that with your own mouth is like honey to my ears."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMb5BzbLry

"Honey? Thought it was more like acid."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z7ZBA7qGN

G-Dragon couldn't stop 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSYfun571g
laughing and I continued to frown. I was praying for the traffic lights 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDZNLQPBwA
to turn green. This was irritating.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOYUqr4jRV

"Your sarcasm is so epic, I can't stop laughing," said G-Dragon trying to stop himself from laughing.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhad6YlUtFM

"You better enjoy it before it ends up killing you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar5S5g8cdE

"Ya. I know I'll die with laughter, my little kitty."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtunRcg5RkT

G-Dragon continued to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRUnmaZHKZ
laugh and all I could do was stare at him. I soon realised that I had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYsccClibV
never seen G-Dragon laugh so much before, at the point of losing 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt5DmHGiTl
control. Come to think of it, I hadn't realised how happy he was this 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt0yfDk9g2
whole time when I was with him. That just confirmed that he clearly 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm0wwH8izm
wasn't mad at me anymore. Besides, I wasn't supposed to be thinking 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5HE3RMhZC
about the bad things that had happened to us. I should be laughing along1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJikGhDTp1C
with him.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7qTqRKkwd

"Okay, GD, enough," I said, my anger subsiding. "Please stop laughing. The joke is over."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZmAWFSfR7

"Not to me. You just made my day, Sam."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstJ7nKOF8Q

And hopefully, it would last.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZmZH40sZn

Luckily, the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9eAPuusB4
trafficlights went green and the cars started to move. G-Dragon stepped 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xoVQvawjl
on the gas and in a few minutes, we found ourselves at YG. We came out 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbQfukcdUN
of the car and headed inside the YG building. It was Sunday so probably 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCByfMotuNA
not everyone was around today. The place felt rather quiet. The 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m55slfRat
receptionist was there as usual and only a few of the cleaning staff 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqCq3NDSUm
around. GD and I went to the recording studio as usual.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi1TTjPRjp

"We have to finish up this song by tonight if it's necessary," said G-Dragon, as the two went through the door of the studio.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiuFbOKHm5

"I thought so too," I said. "I came up with a few lyrics for the song. You should check them out and see what you think."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QLqwXP6Dv

Before we got to sit on the couch, G-Dragon turned to look at me with a surprised look on his face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwUt643Hef

"You wrote down a few lyrics?" G-Dragon asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX1UVMUWCD

"WelI, ya," I answered. "Friday didn't seem like a good day to work on the song because of what happened."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjF4Mhx9ID

"Oh," G-Dragon had a certain look on his face. Looked like his thoughts went back to what happened on Friday.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQAaqlExO7

"Forget it," I said as I sat down. "Come take a look at the lyrics."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFZSZy7dtN

I waved the notebook in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Jr8JTQl0
my hand. G-Dragon gave me a corky smile and I felt my cheeks heat up 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbqBkeNqyF
again and my heart starting to beat so fast. I smelt something fishy 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKBTnZHSzo
ready to come out of his mouth and I wasn't going to let him get his 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWK16kuKYI
way.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7wmHol0VA

"Ah! Don't say a word!" I raised my hand and at the same time, he opened his mouth to speak. Good. At least I beat him to it.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShowoeMb4h

"But why?" G-Dragon asked, shrugging his shoulders.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrl81KE7KU

"I know you were about to make a flirtatious comment. Your eyes and your smile could clearly show on your face."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfriaFxjtZ

"Looks like you're slowly getting to know me little by little." G-Dragon still couldn't stop smiling and he lifted his eyebrows.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v630o3Vh5

"Maybe I am. But hopefully I'll be wrong in the future. Please, sit. We don't have much time."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8egrYAZV26

"Okay." G-Dragon sat down beside me and took my notebook.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4908cfl5IO

G-Dragon leaned further 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVH5GbEeJf
back onto the couch as he looked at the lyrics. I looked at him with my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqcXcERXEV
eyebrow raised, studying him. I wondered what was running in his head. I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi27FUsoiR
hope he wasn't going to say anything dumb or stupid. I had already 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqf2jinEYw
tolerated his teasing for one day.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1wTcIVMjh

"Wow, I like the first verse," said G-Dragon, sounding really impressed.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHjmIFIhdS

"Really!" I sounded so excited I could shoot for the roof, but I kept my cool and looked serious. "Really?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Rz7KOGNf

"Ya. I'm just surprised the song generally talks about the day we all ended up at Caribbean Bay."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jdxqLcYfH

"Well, I had to think of1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUX36cXZc0
something. You don't have to give me all the credit. Collins somehow 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu6hQLqwQZ
gave me an idea and I did all I could to make it work."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdU92kny0H

"You're an amazing song writer. Even the chorus sounds great too."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncgTC8ddY1

"Oh. Glad you liked it. Are there any changes you might want to suggest?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0iXLil6IW

"I'm surprised you asked. The lyrics seem perfect to me."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdDax4LRB4

"Hey, I don't want to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKH4Flr0MN
behave like the selfish one here. It will seem everything was done by me1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJWi87silV
when it's supposed to be the two of us. So, come on. At least suggest 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWAaxrdLfY
something."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMjjEnQ5kt

"Okay, let's go through it together and see what needs changing."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsrDPfgAca

We started to look at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc9L1yxXCs
the first verse and made a few changes here and there. We even included a1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23bQxfBMia
bridge that would lead to the chorus. Things were going well so far 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQmerfJOpa
until the person I least expected to see, came in the room.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfYTnsibt8

"TOP?" I looked a little surprised when I looked up from my notebook. "What are you doing here?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvnoDQidHG

"Oh. I didn't know you two were here," said TOP.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6bR7QAIow

"We're just working on the song. And you?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiKFFAr9Gh

"Just came here to have the place to myself."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicNv66uB1n

"Really?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkpnHESYiq

This time it was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw69fD9KqL
G-Dragon who asked. I looked at GD and I couldn't help but feel there 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSBQ2HODUl
was something up with him. I could feel he was a little uncomfortable 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCmL8Endlp
with TOP around. But why? It finally came to me that he still might be 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORqf47zL3a
jealous of TOP when he took me out for ice cream last Thursday. But that1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z1aALYBMj
was a long time ago, right? Could Lee have been right that G-Dragon 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeOJtGATtQ
might really like me?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GnKUEaDN8

"Well, ya," said TOP shrugging his shoulders. "I can leave you guys alone to do your work if want."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4FhC8udPP

Before GD could say anything, I quickly said, "wait, TOP. You can stay. We might need your help on something."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaTjKCMxg2

"Really?" TOP and G-Dragon asked at the same time.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmLgS18QAp

"Yes, we do." I turned 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5KTf52SNf
to look at G-Dragon with my eyes wide enough for him to understand. In 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR3F5Rborb
return, G-Dragon scowled at me like a little kid.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXCwxuQm5w

"But why? The two of us were doing fine on our own, weren't we?" G-Dragon asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGQI0t0RDG

"You're right," I said 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFyKASnJcm
nodding my head. "But I think we would need TOP's help on the second 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXrC1e5a1D
verse. You see, I was thinking TOP and Mike would rap the second verse 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDvmHkWK4y
and we would need some help with the rhymes too. I sometimes ask Mike 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebXft7Dx1m
for help on such parts when I'm kind of stuck."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGmVTJBWlK

"I wouldn't mind helping1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX2V8y6G5N
out," said TOP as he came and sat down right beside me. "I still have 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3zhs3DyuK
time to hang around here for a while."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsmLtblRAu

"Thanks, TOP." I turned to look at TOP and smiled.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYfdGSzzhm

He winked at me with a corky smile. I felt G-Dragon fidget uncomfortably on my other side. He must have noticed TOP wink at me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhbGoy3uGV

"Okay, fine," said G-Dragon almost muttering.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKzXr8YpbQ

"Let's look at the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaRSy198Mj
second verse." I managed to give G-Dragon an encouraging smile, assuring1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ6VDu6wze
him that everything was going to be alright. He ignored me instead and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD0PFhHwkK
looked at the notebook in my hands. Bummer.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7ecw8Def8

The second verse was a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Z5yDe72q
whole lot of trouble than I had anticipated. Coming out with rhymes for 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGBGTjAnxX
the song proved to be a challenge. G-Dragon and I had decided that the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9pqcPeREa
song should have both Korean and English lyrics, and the second verse 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoTN5W89aI
came out just as difficult.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55v7rCvKsY

We had been working on 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkg71Gb5S4
the second verse for almost an hour and my tummy started to rumble. It 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi5TZfhgS5
was loud enough for G-Dragon and TOP to hear that they stopped what they1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo5gD9PUfh
discussing and looked at me. I couldn't help but blush. It was so 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEObTGWaS2Q
embarrassing and I all I did was hug myself as I pressed my tummy to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbE79aoFwg
avoid another rumbling sound from being heard.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHILd3ZVKuv

"I'm very hungry," I said shyly, my cheeks blushing as always.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9kTqX4hgx

"I'll order lunch," said G-Dragon, giving me that teasing smile. "Our little kitty is very hungry."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj92iDTpGSv

I wanted to punch him. "You should order pizza," said TOP. "And make sure you get two or three boxes. I'm also hungry too."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJn3IvVh9C

"Not as hungry as me though," I said as my tummy rumbled again.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jB4wPyUmh

"We might just need four," said TOP, with an eyebrow raised.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvIELtmHOk

"I'll try to keep that in mind," said G-Dragon as he took out his phone to order pizza.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAs4TKps5n

"Order macaroni and cheese if you would," I said as I turned to look at GD.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2UeKs2Gk4

G-Dragon didn't say 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0T1hTAJeT
anything right there and then. He was looking at his phone with such 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8F07JidwG
serious intent. Was he reading a message or had he seen something that 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1gHT7LBkL
caught his eye?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcof4UrXrgT

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked. "You seem serious?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KzK74EixS

"Just received a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AGTtxjYOV
message," said G-Dragon still looking at the phone. "I might have to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTIzCn3vrv
make a phone call. I'll order the pizza first then make my important 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtBlimTOk2
call."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxuIg8jdGl

"Alright, you do that. TOP and I will continue looking at the lyrics. Don't forget, macaroni and cheese."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhIuSOVS7T

G-Dragon gave me a nod, stood up and left the room, leaving only TOP and I.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFhM3Xgf2M

"This is so hard!" I whined as I leaned my back on the couch. "I'm even so hungry!"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEglHgqQMG

"Don't worry, the pizza will be here when it's ordered."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsWOk8SWFH

"I sure hope so. I've 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeiGBvUylH
just realised that I can't work with an empty stomach. If our managers 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQYWyNWIfV
weren't going to look at the lyrics tomorrow, I wouldn't even be here."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz1NILu5kG

"That's how some 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD2gNvq6tn
managers are. You can work on the song the whole night if possible. It 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqUgiW2v23
sometimes gets worse especially for trainees when they are about to make1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYeVUPj35y
their debut. You're lucky that you're even good at song writing."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BTfh9FUea

TOP continued to tell me1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49C5AMNbCk
his stories of his time at YG when he was just a trainee. I was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG1haSfzCJ
captivated by his story and I at least forgot about my hunger for a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGIffqUIPj
while, though my tummy rumbled silently a few times. I came to realise 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBzr1vHOR6
that in Korea, being famous was a whole lot harder than I thought. You 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHYw7cFOph
had to go through a lot of training just to make it to the top.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk8kzcZrnV

"Enough about me and my trainee days," said TOP. "How about you?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ3BzQua4E

"There's nothing much," I said as I looked up at the ceiling. "Your story seems way more interesting than what I have to say."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs42QSABi6c

"We all have a story to tell, don't we?" TOP asked as he also leaned back further on the couch, our shoulders touching.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxAZdVPoKN

"Ya, we all do," I said with a smile on my face staring at the ceiling.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWPN8K1MXY

"You know you look very beautiful, right?" TOP whispered in my ear. He was so close I hadn't noticed.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqCAkSncOO

I slowly turned to look at him and we were too close we could kiss each other. I held my breath for a second. Scared to breathe.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J32zwW56m

I continued to look at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a2PcikW8H
TOP. I looked straight in his eyes. His soft brown eyes looked back at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡditlFoUtOa
me. This time I noticed he wasn't wearing contacts like in some of the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvXQJqLmYK
pictures I've seen him in. I was so drawn to his eyes. I continued to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsqnBfqBVw
look at TOP's face and I was so drawn to his smile. His bad boy smile 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38DiIHZi5a
was so corky and cute at the same time, I sometimes couldn't tell if he 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7tc024H1N
was being genuine or just playing around. My eyes were stuck looking at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r8hzRWIQY
his lips. I tried to snap out of it and look away, but I couldn't. TOP's1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWmmAvyBLq
smile soon turned to a grin and I blushed like crazy. He noticed that I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMghkTVUp1q
was staring at his lips. That made me look down to avoid his gaze.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsQovX2rPT

"What's wrong? You're 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14M0Z6Kz2a
blushing like crazy," TOP said softly and so deep that it moved me. My 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO88dfkrUaD
heart beat so hard, I was afraid TOP might even hear it.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBDxhQYQHW

"No-nothing," I replied, my eyes still looking downwards.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fRpu4DPUG

"Hey, look at me." TOP held my chin and slowly pushed my chin upwards.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RKMeJ4lCM

I was staring at his 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiD7wBXpYu
face again. There was silence between us as we continued to look at each1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhHCuIsoct
other. I could see a sparkle in his eyes and I knew what he was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRTletbCHv
planning to do. I was still like a statue. I hated the fact that TOP had1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybc1Cj6IIL
such good looks that made me want to look at him forever.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Pg8ifEWQ

"You're so pretty that I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfHHvMQhGF
can't stop looking at you," said TOP as he smiled at me. "Especially 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi1Yt43Gyw
when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDiJbdq4ab

I didn't say a word as I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfmjU6rj8x
felt like I was about to explode. My face was red hot and I so much as 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBEZZM2Pen
wanted as to pull myself away but I couldn't. I felt butterflies in my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UxESD4mfL
empty stomach because of his fluttery words.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPTUpmMtVV

"I-eh-thanks. I guess?" I was lost for words and I didn't know what else to say.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmt6Q68WvD

"Cute."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJFlHLddyH

I gulped. His deep husky1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjR56h2eql
voice moved me again. I was afraid my heart wasn't going to take this 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPixNDjju5
and burst. Can this moment we were having just end already? I wasn't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOD3RlgBGw
going to like what would happen next.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwgj6wftVc

TOP looked at me and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH9NHcjOev
then his eyes went to my lips. A smirk appeared on his lips. Ah, oh. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3S9YyXDHT
knew he was planning on planting his lips on mine. As much as that felt 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR880vyPoU
so thrilling at the thought of it, I had to be aware that G-Dragon might1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRCkzHyIwr
just come in and he wouldn't like the scene he was about to see at all.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzYujGsdYk

"TOP, I think it's best we-" I was interrupted when the door flew open and I managed to move further away from TOP.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8caVZ17QG

That was a relief. My 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEfQ6BmM26
cheeks were still blazing hot and I looked the other way, hopeful that 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5q8zZDp4U
G-Dragon didn't see how close TOP and I were. But I was surprised when I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr9iok1JW3
heard who was at the door.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1azrQOpnn

"Hey, guys! Where is G-Dragon?" I quickly turned to look at the door and there stood Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbMnxugZDg

Zoey!1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnEBXRlRH5

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I stood up for my seat, surprised as ever.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4u4MXHNN2

"I'm the one whose 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0zjZLn7NG
supposed to be asking you the same question," said Zoey, as she briskly 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKfr71zbh3
came in the room with her black high heeled shoes. She was wearing a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFW4n0pYxd
blue top with a black flared skirt.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCufy8ZqQ2Y

"You didn't bring the others with you, did you?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwT3xFS1Qv

"No, I didn't. They 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTnAd8lYyX
decided to stay back at the hotel and watch some movie. Where is 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfStpMP4HPW
G-Dragon? I know he's supposed to be here with you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcaaNKFWOr

"He went out to make an important phone call and order us lunch. May I now ask why you're here?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Yp9xbNQi

"Nothing. I was bored and came to check up on your guys."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GSzjtCibZ

"How sweet." I answered, almost sounding sarcastic. "Hope I didn't interrupt you guys."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOgbBRuBLf

Zoey stood a few feet away from me and as for TOP he continued to look up at the both of us, a corky smile on his face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwZjS2d2I9

"No, you didn't. Why?" I folded my arms.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo03p0UyHlB

"I don't know. You two seem to have been in a serious moment when I walked in. An intimate one. I'm I right?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozHPMuFSdD

"Ya, you did kind of interrupt us. Sam and I were discussing something serious," said TOP raising his eyebrows at Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhBySeVm5C

Zoey giggled at TOP's 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBjP6p5RF5
gesture. I quickly stepped on TOP's foot so hard, he yelled. He was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrXSqTHUnv
lucky I wasn't wearing heels. I would have hurt him more than I had done1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDt8rl4Y8L
now.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93MtTLHg3T

"Ouch! That hurt!" TOP looked at me with pain written on his face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWIB87cSv9

"Sorry," I muttered. Not really meaning it.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8sY52Xtvj

"You're such a bully sometimes, Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to TOP.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiFjcnhUXF

"He was just talking nonsense, someone had to shut him up."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRq9zJ6oi5

"A kiss from you would 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h7joRC7kl
have done the trick, don't you think?" TOP asked as he held my hand and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqQnweexkp
smiled at me. That sent shivers down my spine.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKdx1EWgTU

"Aww, so adorable!" Zoey1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS97AdyGRFw
squealed. "I knew you two were hitting it off. But be careful, Sam. You1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qzWFQpz6j
know how Collins is and he wouldn't like to hear that this was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEZ4cro0YG
happening."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktHsg08hm2

"We weren't hitting it off!"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBZRY2A5ip

"Then what do you think we were doing just now before Zoey walked in?" TOP asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qbs2B9yW1

I didn't answer. In 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eQ7JWzBtA
fact, I couldn't answer. My mouth went dry. It was completely clear that1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhU2h3zyOA
we almost made out, but I wanted to defend myself and say it wasn't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM71YGA8RR
like that. I frowned at TOP for putting me in this stupid mess in the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9k7KfqRid
first place.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS8atCsYEB

"Don't worry, Sam, I won't tell anyone. My lips are sealed," said Zoey imitating to zip up her mouth with her fingers.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSfrK44TR7

"You know I don't trust with such secrets, Zoey."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8PCzrpeXK

"Oh, please, Sam. I know1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssesVgebwV
if I were ever to make out with G-Dragon you wouldn't tell a single 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYFJJzdmrg
soul yourself. There are a million reasons why you're my best friend."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWdEuO3FBe

"And keeping secrets is 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpTGXTmSHs
one of them." I tried to sound a little normal after what Zoey said 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKc2Cu39OP
about her making out with G-Dragon. That almost sent me frowning.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV00ANsftw

"You got that right. Besides, you and TOP make a cute couple, hands down."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP1lEoSXl8

"Thanks, Zoey," said TOP still holding my hand.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfDhajI8Pw

"Don't take it as a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqvN3ACJTt
compliment," I almost scolded him. "We aren't a couple. And you, Zoey 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEsWKgrmsx
should have phrased your sentence properly."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5utrdKY91

"Don't start acting like our teacher of English, Sam. I knew exactly what I said. What's the harm in saying all that?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjzXPGSV4e

"You have no idea."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxjxnEXAp4

I looked up and saw 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEJRXuNqpC
G-Dragon standing by the door with three boxes of pizza in his hands and1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2nbStn0Y6
a plastic bag with soda cans. I felt my world had stopped right there 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNsJsGtrRx
when I saw him. Had he heard the entire conversation?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgbgwC6vPo

The look on his face 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCJdIhwUjv
said otherwise. He looked a little different from the time he left the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR0czDCkZk
room. Was it about the important phone call he had made earlier? Or had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgj7R07mKt
he really heard everything?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0TuKi5jqt

Zoey noticed that my eyes were fixed at the door and she followed them.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2LccvJrX5

"Hey, G-Dragon," said Zoey. "Oooh! You brought pizza. I'm starved."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJce47ZWz72

"Zoey, what are you doing here?" G-Dragon asked. His tone sounded different. Almost harsh.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtj0mfLfR8

"I came here to see how 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdA1ZFLzFQ
far you guys have gone with the lyrics," said Zoey. If she had noticed 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEweAPInYWM
the change in G-Dragon's voice, she did a great job hiding it.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4e9DAFklK

"Oh, okay." He sounded a little sad this time around. I was aching to know what was wrong with him.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvouqjNcTM

"What's up with you two?" G-Dragon asked as he slowly walked in the room, looking at TOP and I.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0vSAOBQ6U

"Huh?" I asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrsUnpe9oO

"You two are holding 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOYN1cdh9a
hands," said G-Dragon as he came closer and looked down at my hand in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1oECcJSQe
TOP's. I followed G-Dragon's eyes and I gulped.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IB8jHaw1A

"Oh, that!" Zoey sounded excited. "There's a story behind that."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvxiHCXa9Y

"Zoey-" I wanted to stop her, but her words were already pouring out of her mouth like a raging waterfall.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAscDtzect6

"TOP and our little kitty are in a relationship now."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwB7SUcqdt

I stared at Zoey with my1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k2xDO33Vo
eyes all bulged up, it felt they would fall to the floor and burst like1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzjzzhqVSY
tiny grenades. So much for not telling anyone.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWr8BcAhDj

"Zoey! What's your problem, huh?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbc72OYiNn

"What? GD asked didn't he?" Zoey shrugged her shoulders with an innocent look on her face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjH9DPCnyb

I frowned at Zoey and all TOP did was give a light chuckle. I wanted to slap both of them in the face but I controlled myself.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkSebIL6uN

I slowly turned to look at G-Dragon and I could see a certain sadness in his eyes. Was he hurt?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQUY7Lwi78

"Is that true?" GD asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0csUOZT3i5

I knew he was trying his1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5imNVQbfvX
best to sound normal, but I could tell that his voice was breaking. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHKLcqDXFJ
quickly slipped my hand away from TOP's grip and I hid it behind me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdehbgmsqve

"It's not true, Zoey is just joking around," I said, feeling rather guilty. I couldn't even look at GD straight in the eyes.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegPSVMgIWG

"Don't take it so seriously, GD," said TOP, almost laughing. "We were just joking around."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2MxSuS8Xg

"Ya, you two almost got 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQxdELLQgG
so serious like in those drama series," said Zoey. "We don't want you 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgcKRJ24Ok
guys fighting again like last time now, do we?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv9H3KyJSN

"No, you wouldn't," said G-Dragon, with a fake smile on his face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDFrJqgJrP

Uh-oh. I didn't like the sudden tone in his voice. Something told me the two of us were already at war. Again.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6bSO3ONfI

"Come on, let's eat," said TOP as he stood and took hold of the pizza boxes in G-Dragon's hands and set them on the table.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILwY3S2s19

"I'm so glad I came at the right time," said Zoey, greedily rubbing her hands together. "I am also hungry myself."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotvoIffNPh

I sat down next to TOP 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ029wjfx7I2
and G-Dragon next to Zoey, clearly avoiding each other. A sense of 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG9x2yJKjv
sadness took over me and I played around with my fingers, deep in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEZAYiy5oi
thought.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7qoTQXZaO

"I bet you aren't as 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68zPEoFRIX
hungry as Sam over here," TOP said to Zoey as he opened one box of 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDjFojthd5
pizza. "Her tummy was rumbling like crazy."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LjeECpV3Q

"That's our hungry 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0kcdOzRQG
kitty," said Zoey as she got the napkins that came along with her pizza 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIvmbQdOoB
boxes. "And as usual she ordered macaroni and cheese. Her favourite."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kim4FloKb

TOP gave me a slice of 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xaNtt3fAg
pizza on a napkin and I took it without saying anything. I bit out a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VA2WN23eJ
piece of the slice and though it was as tasty as it usually is, I felt 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Xa5O55n5
weightless in my stomach. I ate as many slices as I could but I still 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zWJACernZ
felt empty. To be honest, I had lost my appetite from the time the pizza1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsFl3hotjk
came. Not even the soda helped either.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHxConkCba

"I'm so stuffed," said Zoey, who was now seated on the floor with her back leaning on the couch. "That was some pizza."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuscQ8s5WU

"Ya, I'm stuffed too," I lied. I still felt nothing in my stomach. "Can we continue working on the song then?" I asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5gxb7XxEr

"Ya, sure, and now that I'm around, we can get this done a lot faster," said Zoey. "What do you think, GD?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjImlfpaxs

TOP, Zoey and I turned 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNxMXCqDvf
to look at G-Dragon who hadn't said a word. I had a feeling something 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlVFslKuzS
was wrong and I was responsible for it.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4up2grTMYI

"Ya, sure, no problem," said G-Dragon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME5Mqzamje

"Are you okay, man?" TOP asked. "You seem a little down since you came back."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmkFCbrxiX

Thank goodness I wasn't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr7AZLE5mK
the only one who noticed. I was too afraid to ask G-Dragon because he 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypDxMZ3i1O
might just bite my head off if I did.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlOjhEmiYm

"I'm good. I received a message from Paris. That's why I had to make an important phone call."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM6ZSTNH7M

"From Paris!" Zoey was excited and she looked liked she was bouncing on the floor for a second.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl47lPJxcNm

"Ya. I've been invited to a fashion show for Chanel."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0s8jvasJn

"And that's why you've 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtsItxnL5G
been so down about?" Zoey asked, looking surprised. "You should go. It 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UBsb5KnoI
will be so awesome. And from Chanel? That's even better."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdINdy4WwB

Zoey seemed so happy and1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz1AD4dIsj
excited, I almost felt bad that she completely forgot about the sadness1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHASqWWqye4
on G-Dragon's face. I wished she could stop talking. It clearly wasn't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0CL8kE8FW
helping him at all.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRLOfBXaYO

"But why do you feel so 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU4a9P4u3J
down about it?" TOP asked. "You usually go to such events and it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatfM5y8BJ9
shouldn't let you down like this, should it?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbFuOfe4e2

I was glad TOP asked the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHM764UBp1
question and I was yearning to hear what GD had to say. It was clear to1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR0dypA7C4
me his change of mood wasn't about the Chanel event. It had to do with 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTQXUXlfc8
TOP and I holding hands. I couldn't help but let the guilty part inside 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm9pAOv425
me get even heavier.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4LVahmDaS

"No, it shouldn't," said G-Dragon shaking his head.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3gkaUupLw

"When are you supposed to leave?" I asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqMBbHN66x

I was surprised when he 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzdy8AhzIp
answered, though he sounded a little awkward. "The fashion show is 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WQYU0mcyx
tomorrow. I must leave for Paris tonight."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCCvqYHUC3

"Tonight?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNHsa5n6Rc

"Oh, now I see why you're so down," said TOP. "You don't want to leave the song left unfinished, right?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMbN1nWRtz

I looked at G-Dragon, who was looking at TOP, completely avoiding my gaze.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdprDVeI27K

"Ya," G-Dragon nodded. "But you can go," I said. "I can finish the song if you don't mind. I'll manage."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBkKwI0NV2

"You're sure?" G-Dragon asked looking somewhere else and taking a sip of his soda.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZypJf5KcEi

"I'm sure."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv1ubiNHSg

I think it was best for 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytfVoKK2TQ
the two of us to be apart for a little while. Maybe he will cool down 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qJzDzgBLo
and everything will be alright. Hopefully, he will.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsGlPpvP5M

"I'll make sure she finishes the song," said TOP.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqtr62ceij

"I was wondering if you, TOP, can come with me," said G-Dragon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHMsaVbDms

I looked at G-Dragon, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiyV8O96nX
surprised. What was he thinking now taking TOP with him? Was he trying 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMKbCOxlPD
to get TOP away from me? I was really confused. Not that I was acting 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBz13BgxUW
possessive. But why?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi97D5zgI83

"Are you sure?" TOP asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5tPWi0OKN

"I really want you to come. And besides, Sam can finish the song like she said she would. Right, Sam?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nnslDv7C5

I paused as I looked at G-Dragon. I slowly nodded my head as Zoey and TOP looked at me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4QmcgjYoj

"Alright," said TOP. "We'll go. When shall we leave?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eSgX3jZfD

"Tonight," G-Dragon said. "And we will be back tomorrow."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGZvpHPI73

"Have you told our manager yet?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7Psqmnlni

"Ya. He knows. I also asked Collins too."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlAaPq5xIs

"For what?" Zoey and I asked at the same time.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTDwztXrqO

G-Dragon looked down on Zoey who still sat on the floor.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNPVinWbYH

"I would like you, Zoey, to also come with me to Paris."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbcJNpJFmq

Zoey's face was filled with delight, my face had drained of colour.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODEwzSkxs0

"Yes, of course I'll!" Zoey stood up from the floor with joy. She was acting as if G-Dragon had asked her to marry him.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PVr3awxTi

"This is going to be awesome," said TOP. "Too bad Sam won't come with us." I cleared my throat.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nnpixX5UK

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine. The song is supposed to be done by tomorrow."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwa7BAaBex

"I'll miss you," said Zoey, pouting her lips. "It's always fun when you're around."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsXdcgkobf

"I'm good. You just have fun and stay out of trouble. Please."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHRkQa5Ibh

"Aye, aye," said Zoey 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfliD3xjxRD
giving me the hand salute. I really hope she was going to stay out of 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvUfw32ojY
trouble. She was full of surprises sometimes.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFcfmFRiGT

"Then let's finish the second verse then," said TOP.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexFJZuN3ut

"Okay," I muttered. Zoey and G-Dragon nodded their heads.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF4SkXekN2

At least working on the song would keep me preoccupied and not feel bad about myself.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MPVvLcH5i

It was close to four in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4id4CrDHv
the afternoon when we finished on the second verse. We had a few debates1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUoQbKES5c
here and there, but we were done anyway. The last verse wasn't going to1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef9Xq5RSnV
be a problem since I already had it all planned out. I didn't tell the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnXKAIkpgS
others that. It was best I kept it to myself.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnzp3BRhKk

"So, now that we are done, looks like we have to get ready and leave for Paris," said Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QvAzkmvun

"I'm glad you helped me 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ5qddQ1Sx
out with the song though," I said as I stretched after standing up from 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqzcIdg85f
the couch. "I wouldn't have managed to do it on my own."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVpuXgchvq

"You would have managed 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrJE8xXKMG
pretty much on your own if you ask me," said G-Dragon. He eyes looked 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyIYrWD1bX
cold as he stared at me. That gave me shivers.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQSLXz90r5

"We better get going then," said TOP, as he stood up.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEgz7U6aBF

"Ya, I've to look good for the fashion show tomorrow," said Zoey with glee. "This is going to be so exciting."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLr9E74N1s

"You guys go ahead," I said as I sat back down onto the couch and got my notebook. "I'll stay here."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgru3XU0ig

"Wait, don't you want us to drop you off at the hotel?" TOP asked. "You can finish the song from there."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLYC1JX0oy

"I would rather stay here. I'm not going to be able to finish the song with the others running around."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUf4AcZ231

"Okay. Take care then," said Zoey as she came to hug me. "See you tomorrow."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx71FsJjvV

"See you tomorrow."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cdEGn1T3u

"See you," said TOP as he bended over and gave me a peck on the cheek. I could see G Dragon look away from the corner of my eye.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzEEdiurWJ

"Bye," said G-Dragon. His voice blunt. I also said bye and they all left the room.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV7d4uANS1

I sighed when the door 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qiU4qAgJe
closed behind them. And I couldn't help but feel bad. Just when I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiDr2Y139P
thought everything between G-Dragon and I was cleared up, another issue 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgjjLsQfQP
rises to the surface. What a huge turn around that has been for me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a9kdI5RxG

He was his old self 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3P8DdNLOZ
again in the morning, but then TOP and Zoey arrived and everything went 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAr3w1kNHM
down the drain. I wouldn't blame them though. More especially with TOP. I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqNvYvjy7j
could blame Zoey for having such a big mouth, but what's done is done.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LVpZugTXK

I was so unfortunate 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMuLnfw5bU
sometimes. Just when you think things were all bright and sunny, it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbbAztIR4D
becomes all rainy and gloomy so fast. So much for trying.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoGx9JQssO

There was a guitar at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YzTEk3MaE
the corner of the room and I went over to get it. I went back to sit 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITXlLPVbez
down with the guitar on my lap. I played a few strings before stopping 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jcHbnp3lz
myself and figuring out what I wanted to play. I looked at the lyrics. I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjzkSRQ5Lm
at least had to come up with some melody. It needed to be fast and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie0ihqkZfW
funky.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c2iylNZgg

I played the strings for1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uHoHypLzZ
what seemed like a few seconds. But I realised I wasn't in the mood for1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhybLa9h4h
a fast song. I clearly wasn't thinking straight. I tried the second 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb8PL4ZlF1
time, but I found myself stopping and lost in thought. What was wrong 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmcNe7CqHJ
with me today? How did everything today change all of the sudden?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sXs8PCsQf

I had to sing out what 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8M1haJxBH
was in my chest to make a suitable melody for the song afterwards. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfx6nMOER2
closed my eyes and pulled at the strings, playing a tune that first came1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclG0wiIWxI
to mind.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLoQcmOD39

"Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKwk9VjLWE
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoUBjPWBTF
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOE06rs4MD
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgjwKjaCKk
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right, I hope you had the time of your life.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXvO0l34ek
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCfJaStAHd
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDtNU8wqXw
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChqMjjG2qN
For what it's worth it was worth all the while1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRlwr01qP6
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right, I hope you had the time of your life.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSF8zF6paX
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right, I hope you had the time of your life.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6jr9K9wQd
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right, I hope you had the time of your life."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNZWalR4Bh

I hadn't sung this song 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKUbjianuG
in a while now. "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Green Day. As 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8VTUHQSxo
much as I liked pop, I am a huge fan of rock music. During my high 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zlpm82nME
school days, I loved to sing this song whenever I felt sad and low or 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEusGZSwLfm
when some days weren't pretty much going my way. Like it is now.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAvl5nnBz0

I smiled to myself and I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRrgWfNmQT
felt a little lighter in my chest. I opened my eyes and at the same 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWtUxWSCvv
time, my phone beeped. I had a message. But from who?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp80SE8fokz

I got my phone and checked it out. It was a message from Daesung. I tapped on the message icon and it read: "Sorry,1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds41gGNeaN
I couldn't make it to see you today while you were at YG. But Collins 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CsjD6J9WM
informed me to come and get you when you're done. So give me a call and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Ii9ki2zc
I'll be there."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtjIfCav8a

Zoey must have told 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoeibFT72r
Collins that I would be staying here for a while to finish the song. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZiFqU62go
was glad he told Daesung to come pick me up. At least I would have 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck4thH48Db
someone to talk to on the way back to the hotel.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzyCOe57jP

I put the phone away and1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbEace6s2G
stared at the lyrics on my notebook. My brain was working now and I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GGqcMRI0N
finally came up with a tune. I tried what I had just made up in my head 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYuqrs7ScS
and it sounded really good as I played the strings of the guitar. As I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXkbB2aGCt
continued to play the tune, I sang the first verse. It came out really 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKhhl58CiO
well though I had to make the words flow with song. I made a few 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJO1De7cya
corrections with the tune and changed a few things with the lyrics too. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u5PcxcJCA
But all in all, the song was just perfect. Hopefully if I had to play 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmn2nwv70M
this song tomorrow in front of the managers, they would like it too. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Gn2UIszm
would have to meet with the music producer to work on the beats and the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN95hfl2yyj
tunes. I didn't want to forget the beautiful melody in my head and I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsckc5BLwSt
continued to play the guitar as I sang the song.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9JX7XcWyD

It was six in the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBPpWqi7el
evening when I was writing down the last lines of the song. I took the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNihNpjfQzk
guitar again and started to sing the last verse. I was suddenly out of 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBPVVCy9EN
tune and stopped singing.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooXtEKz1dW

That was odd. I had a weird feeling that someone was watching me and that made me lose concentration.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2sQfVvGFl

I looked up at the door 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu2ibyxy83
and for a moment I thought it was still closed shut. But it wasn't. It 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8pksrkrmE
was slightly open and I hadn't even noticed. I realised there was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLutc07mHKZ
someone standing by the door. I slowly stood up and gently placed the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh7JqnH7NB
guitar down on the couch without making a sound. Luckily, I already had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA9ZBwhtrH
my slippers off so I tiptoed across the room to the door, barefoot.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUcMLrnNJk

I was a foot away from 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ncvk8PdwM
the door when I heard a slight movement behind the door. I could hear 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFYuSkS9f4
someone slightly breathing too. I was right. There was someone here and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAZ0i4Pabd
the person hadn't moved away from the door at all. If the person took 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuqvTxFwTr
another peek and see that I'm not on the couch, he or she would start to1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEhRjw9zVr
wonder where I am and run off. This was my only chance to see who had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ2pTwDw5q
been spying on me this whole time.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAdgt4LEGO

I slowly took hold of 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3iwyWcnjV
the door knob and I suddenly pulled the door open. Everything happened 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuBZVpUMdU
so quickly. When the door stood wide open, a quick flash of black 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v8WL2Vn5Q
appeared before my eyes. The person who stood there was wearing a black 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRksxNnbbC
hood and had quickly turned away and ran down the hall.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhjj4p8DJV

I quickly ran after the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfg7Np95fv
stranger and the person had already reached the elevator. The person was1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHrvwEbwKh
as quick as I could have ever imagined. I continued to run but the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YVKerSgaX
elevator doors opened and the person went in.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVDkYUCq9J

Dang it!1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t9k3ZYui8

I was almost there when 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgAKn0pk8D
the elevator door started to close and the person in the elevator, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKT1uNWWgS
slowly turned to look at me. I couldn't see the person's face or eyes 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mYF4knOQO
under the hood but I saw the person's lips curve into a smile and the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TZXzH6ovZ
elevator doors finally closed.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuoAIp9tMp

"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfO7pnBt27

I was almost there. How I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMXWpYZY1t
wished I could have run a little faster. I looked up at the elevator 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ0jyIfDMY
level monitor. He was heading for the ground floor. I don't why I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkOte9aUCv
referred to the stranger as a 'he' but by the posture and frame of the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBYD6aVvJa
body and how tall the person was, it was definitely a guy. But who?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEhWnGFVNh

I knew I wasn't going to1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQxOfTW5n8
catch him now but I had to try. I quickly used the other elevator and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuJiA78IT6
pressed the button to the ground floor. When I got to the ground floor, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgMwr5l84u
it was quiet and completely empty. I went over to the receptionist who 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwIbWa1Q80
must have been here the entire time.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9qpwd6CsH

"Hello, Sam, can I help you?" the sweet, kind receptionist asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEc2rtPz46

"You've been here the whole time, right?" I asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGSMqclN9E

"Yes, I have. Is anything the matter?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmJENQWSvp

"Did you see anyone come out of the elevator just now?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKziO7dscJe

The receptionist shook her head. "No, no one came out of the elevator. Just you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qEfojw4U7

I raised an eyebrow. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPH5c2r8l3
This is strange. How could it be? I was pretty sure the stranger was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX03ibMXy2n
coming down here. Could it be that he might have gone to the first floor1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pXtfUrD6A
instead?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8CQqbBq3B

"Okay. Thank you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeymQ4vVQj

The receptionist smiled 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAodbSYrCUO
at me and I turned round to head for the elevator. I knew if I had to go1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEs8kDvmyj
on the first floor, I wouldn't find him. He would have used the stairs 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa50Kgt1bpd
and gone out through the back door. He was very clever to have thought 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6o0VDEOsZ
of that. Hats off to him.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyArsvI6ab

Just before I could reach the elevator, someone called me from behind.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3gKEvD37f

"Sam?" I turned around and there stood Daesung.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIgsuYGqJg

I don't why I had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7beGgEiDt9
panicked for a moment, but I was so glad to see him. I wondered why he 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIftZglJCJt
was here. I hadn't called him yet to come and pick me up.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS1bhUAOzy

"What are you doing here?" I asked as he approached me. "I didn't call you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLTzkqotao

"Well, that's a little harsh," said Daesung, with a sad childish tone in his voice.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0URtvEnfdC

"Aren't you going to say hi to me first?" I closed my eyes and slapped my forehead.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvnlxk9xVB

I didn't mean to act like a jerk towards him, but so much had happened today that my mood was messed up a little.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy7KHxKG1t

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude," I said as I looked at him. "I'm not really myself at the moment."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD4H4VA40d

"That's the more reason 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8ZjsAQ5IE
Collins told me to come and you pick up. He did say that sometimes you 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKwESkxuXa
get all worked up and tired that you have to have someone around to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGzRG6d3H1
force you to stop working. He says you don't really realise how tired 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI43tMgT4K0
you're and you end up sleeping."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsB5rhNkrB

That was true. I never 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObgTwaxtGv
really felt tired until I ended up sleeping and waking up not on my bed 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C2jiPGGgk
the next morning. It also happened today since I stayed up writing the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauz4MGxdOS
lyrics. I was glad Collins told Daesung to fetch me. I could now feel my1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vrptfA6ky
body all weighed down and tired.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnewhkD39Fm

"You're right. Now that I had the chance to walk out of the studio, I do feel pretty tired," I said as I yawned.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKrJcY3Tce

"And you came out barefooted too," said Daesung he looked down at my feet. "Mind telling me what happened?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C02nlDiqM

I paused. I couldn't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklQNkKZwXn
tell Daesung that I was running after someone who I found spying on me 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM32GkBRcl
in the studio. It was going to sound weird, if not creepy. I stared at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV6LmboFx2
the receptionist, who was probably listening to our conversation, but 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVCp4oXJxX
made herself look busy.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoquHAzOal

"Its nothing," I said. "Let me go get my stuff and I'll meet you outside."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIoAnnuIi2

"No, I'll come with you. You look really tired. The last thing I want is for you to drop dead in your sleep."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUP2juHNBy

I smiled at Daesung and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3YOZiqSF7
we went to collect my things. I also carried the guitar and we were soon1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW6UpRKdtS
on the road heading for the hotel.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeYJhxp4Wn

When I went to our floor1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5JE5xxEBP
with Daesung, I found Collins and Lee waiting for me. Surprisingly, the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD13UDlSbd
other Toxins weren't around and when I asked where they were Collins 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxt6RG0oPS
told me that they had also left for Paris.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwWLixDaRe

Bummer.
