Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 15: Fire At YG

My body ached all over 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy80tPspnSN
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55aCizLSXO
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpnjdp3FdK
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3ISNaCSNB
bed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChHuuWxFmP

I scratched my head as I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTNwA1lRnn
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN6MhaVMxl
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkHdXguobT
he found me here.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAEaH6ejpZ

I slowly stood up and I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKchxsDm56
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGOgD8jq6P
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBr1j01CbJ
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs0yXiX2ki

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNVYxQSMVQ

I almost jumped in 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuo1tEqXAG
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YLGw1fQRL
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaKt7Oe97V
obviously reading the news online.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuCIb610Mc

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTn2dOAEzH

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi5k6D4YLQ

"'Don't tire yourself 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOhKOIyY1H
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Nkr4cnNc
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq4QkLDYDJ

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTZsfHHEjK

"Oh, you were listening?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpegR9c42F5

"Ya, you kept on playing1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74EBgojC1g
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1VUViqrQz
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lIXClCUVD

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgPPkeJnrO

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7KFaQHpnf

"For covering me with a blanket."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfmClMa3hc

Collins looked at me 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9gYzEXgu4
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUdd5FnyLA
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAds4QqqVM

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGf6R3geLs

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2xAvRGYHr

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zDPVZIPkH

"Me too."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAO4SUukIz

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr02liRxC9V

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZOJQsIGXp

"Going to take a shower," I said.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1c6hacFsX

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mofxRZglH

After I freshened myself1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQFhnKFNDP
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mR5NxkwHd
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleuDpv6Jqs
Collins was still on his tablet.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6MxxTR890

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxL1o5sQEN

"Nope. Just looking at 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgsd4P10Im
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTgkrtm0QK
coming back late at night with the others."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQT9ngpiqK

"Are they having a good time?" I got a slice of bread that laid on the middle of the table and was applying marmalade on it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bOEOEr58s

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB4AIIFayx

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIaieJCaIX

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8yV4IcAca

Collins handed his 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP56E8PRVA
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjpNUCf6qE
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjTByxGNOc
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17uvEqLIsi
having a great time.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXfLplKPsU

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8zU1Bqu7j

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7XIrSnNnz

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBLc7HH4yl

"They should have as 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm554vsEtHQ
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsLhP1Z9N3
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34exFvbr79

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9VS3gpkGC

"No, it's not about the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmP1vHYSHD
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IeCHW0AOC
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqRiNqF3lr

I looked at Lee who sat 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ6pT8CPp9
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMmtRa4NdR
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa61Ayew6u
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNYrAGoui5

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf0E8SD53Q

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJFKxpQpqY

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFyRTkvgy2

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDtAncUv33

"If I tell you, I'll 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMA7dAu1ly
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzLB7jhKX2
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEm0esUR1r

Collins got up from his 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zhqpyx26v
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vUSCcyEWD
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVlHQ3WHcS
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtZW28c42l

"What do you know?" I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3YQBcY3Tm
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiHrOY92cR
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkUhqnuLmY
detective asking questions to a criminal.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnlyHb4MwZ

"I don't know," Lee 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNajXmD60g
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92F7d2jQsI
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR3wkLCsSE

I knew something was up 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxyOUcJlsq
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiYpp3hLRY
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNkjiGKGk1

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiecd4In5M

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOumjainyJf

"Well, hopefully." I blew out a puff of air and shook my head as I thought of what happened to G-Dragon and I yesterday.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDInmL8W7rC

"Hey, what's wrong?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWI0ElFqoM

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFMBy8VPuv

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAvklY4tcr

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N9akRkbaN

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4P4CirBaZ

"Well, kind of," I said 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqYT2ad4Nw
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6iXIHMNqS
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU48kDKkTKn

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kHBP5goNv

"Okay."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmT2JabUSQ

I was just done eating my breakfast when Collins came to tell us that it was time to go. I carried the guitar and my notebook.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzrsK97vjG

Lee, Collins and I soon 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggI8ke8NYq
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a299HJpAQ
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeP8EEXgtk
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5DcuMFhqA
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd21Gm8A759
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQsOHwA3H6

I was waiting in th 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHAIOZPgbw
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOHRvs69OD
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbxmPfwCxF
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHqwRlqrlM
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosuPPWF4AF

I was pacing up and down1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UmhUMGzbB
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iAVKG4HvY
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwFF5OJZzW
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM7sKxlOuy
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhow1fN1A0
and I was so nervous.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Xd53eWhf

"Here she is," said Lee,1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2AbaKQUII
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfRqLjz99x
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEQTpS9vxE
you, Tae."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI1VbTo12b

I frowned at Lee and I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhCngfaplT
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy6KKLpE6O
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qmldLRImF
friend.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vEuhlVVt4

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXcNiAHDA7

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zrgfnYFMH

"I told Taeyang that I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmdmUdpJWd
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyiJUqZpot
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn1Kgnz0KP

"Our manager called me 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDO6evMMwq
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdJHufaKYg
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ683ilCchJc
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9bOrf8jZl

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kOr2weSe7

"I'll go and check on the managers and see what's taking them so long," said Lee as she started to head out of the room.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KSwD7YnaS

I wanted to call out to her and tell her to let it be. I didn't want our managers here just yet. But she had already left.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLgipwWZas

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5H0KSbyWS

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gnWEHW9Xe

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFMbcPgXJW

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQvOIBCmqy

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWCY08ZJKI

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCdwzwUTKU

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocdOthue0U

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazLhKqnxkv

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLAYQRvAuP

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHRk3uwXPR

"Sure."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8gtXvxkRp

I gave Taeyang my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjpakdk7Qg
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshfZ4sMrhW
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPI2hZ4g8E
cute together.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKX1OCbovw

"I can't wait for you to sing the song for us," said Hyo-rin as she looked at me. "The lyrics sound really good."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrwHItgtjY

"Thanks. I was singing 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCnd1pbvMQ
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtMBVEA8GX
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjITu9Vm2YK
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo7Ekh6TXR

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5e9bP8fxp

"Well...not really," I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX14mOTmUKL
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IFTpzaXWI
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM7VILwc03

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4htGOryUli

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Snscay5iA

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbop1vDDsM

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipWkx6Jazs

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwx4TlKo9T

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiLizMv2Wb

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxXX0kIQu2

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSxLshp0QI

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEG9r5wwZz

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yhtFjjELi

"Right now."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxpFYwsBs9

We all turned towards 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR829wgR8Hl
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedEpcLWoE3
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIydsmYspM8

When everyone got 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWvMx3VBOD
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprTWV4o7n0
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXsay47EiJ
run out of the room.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKG7TOWM2H

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKxVsVkLB0

I nodded my head and my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt95j2nJI9
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZFKWAyN1q
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeTifu9NA8
ever got to play it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw5H7x1pMt

I felt a break of sweat 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MY0BqdxUw
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvGkXsqbPw
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7fQZ6aEr8
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XBOJduusg
strung the strings on the guitar.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGKiywRGC6

I started to sing as I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftw0U4GZqJ
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo7lpV5uD8
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDqxhslS5K
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s3AEegAKZ
didn't. Well, I hope so.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gar64IfVo

As soon as I was done 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAAWvTe8pY
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBZBgea1kO
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpqwv5mS9i
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRH11ViD45
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hqHDknRiy
hoped they liked it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxOJtId6GQ

The studio was still 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9BglZMZUT
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG57Yb41cei
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtlf2jGvZE
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC7iH46mRU

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNSRIfIuVj
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugvr14PteZ
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDtKksK32D

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYIvVoMztm

This was it. The hammer 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUddMPypbh
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtYBUPHjTE
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmQtwcYO9n

"....incredible."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUanzX1txV

I opened my eyes and I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4oqeTPwLI
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoioXPD4V3F
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7ZIAzQy3g
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rHcd1dYWe
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOcrEtkCEs

"I've to admit, when 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYedxzh1RAS
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAZhy3fU7c
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF4QCGUKvk

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD89YCX19dw

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGnk8CR1gW

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs1EABsEgp

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxNDoa6wkb

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhdTeK5s0S

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbDg3zJ5y4

I couldn't stop smiling 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3TTVLarAS
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjABDHJFcHg
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DKeJ2fWj7
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbVQcdHidh
good voice and a golden one.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIX6HKKKwQ

Immediately our managers1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9iZxRu2HK
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CZ4xIlKpd
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWcZzA7DP4
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lIFwercbt
musical instruments.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnHMtmEGsm

This was always the hard1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCHPMBCrqS
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsyxLyAziB
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxmhNzT2BN
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b5WruLIrT
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKT8aWWWRH

An hour had passed and I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqMDinG8qd
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7HcsBJoaQ
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZmuuz2CPb
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn3dWOGj7b
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEguChI8sn
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNGVzfuezY

"It's been an hour and I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg3I6lkmoh
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxdoEwR7xj
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZErs4IYM5

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3LZg26AJ0

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiDLXcs7r4

"Trust me, you're so 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVygD4sz0C
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1O8f0hlqZ
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZCFiklPwM

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2RI6QPt0O

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm9DaP0Fia

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7ieNsOT1C

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0JFGZxkjD

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f7RML34Oi

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLvAd92zZx

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgYmqB7s3D

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMPYBkjCGk
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3UZH93o7V
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCVJ9ULgBr
masseur."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYz2TEpqpC

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF327Yrq8bV

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdktBp6KLF6

The music producer soon 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzgWuj1x14
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmRi8aEH4D
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHS1R7bwt5
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5H3VmvqVU
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQax4KAoY5
recording the track.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEfuNxQ60c

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJLs8uayOY

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5QB2TZotk

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZIpg29VXk

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC4hReLBge

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC50hD8ImR6

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoegt8Rhke

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooh3IENZ5Z
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSuAt2BYvO
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8VT32o2FC

"Let me guess, you're 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ed68wm1r8
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMymxSPFy7y
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnQbwmQoig

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwVo1ixIzz

Something told me his 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG24hDWaudF
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqphr7g3YZ1
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNjmdU8owA
always does.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK9xkp5x6K

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLGdLgCBjn

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbG6HThjrU

It was late in the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnGG5gJuFs
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhoPOztFel
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyNTsRBlMp
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKFhey6JMJ
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIqdS4kdRo

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWD7Ehv9y3

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRI8F4Z9WD

I looked beside him and I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxKcQzbr4k
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBKH7jR1lD
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr78eDjro9L
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1UULuHOih
leaning my head on the console.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s5zEuWc1O

"I always hate this part1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6uk2VlUhJ
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdzz9Dr0ae
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxx9CM9eP9
console.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmLlZNCLs1

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0CM7iiHTx

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV9OD784so

"I wonder what time."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1z1tJ6gFh

"Wait." I pushed my head1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0fToqHQbZ
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH0tOZNuD9
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOXaPISWJT
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4SqUnCWro

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp35Ws5emEy

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlSmnJ7lLO

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowFpPqVoKe

"I didn't sleep well 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkelfqx586
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrRP8jHpha
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7ccOE9xLb

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDRcrAtwbr

"You're right." I soon 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLcSixx9vQ
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOZtwsexgV
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2yPy9xOGI

"He said they might come at nine in the evening," I said when I cut the call. I was so sleepy I felt like I couldn't stand up.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pkxZwyLUD

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Tgz68Eed

"Alright. Thanks."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY25Om8fbsI

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP21fxaptHl

"And so will I," said Seungri.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuTM99ojBQ

"Guys, it's fine. Taeyang and Hyo-rin will take me," I said with a small smile on my face as I faced Seungri and Daesung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECaJDLFRNV

Immediately I left the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZaGwBUbjX
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtuBtqtPUO
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSlsM9uyDS

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtFHqNSPlm

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEwkxULxLV

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstUa3Ys6Rm

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8mufbAtm7
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEogmYiERh
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrXb4w1vuF

The next thing I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLAA2Fz8rE
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LWrGxMGVg
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq5i7l7lSY
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eCAzd2tmE

I woke up by the sound 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBKAXnxYXj
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer2z1YbIQ9
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ8TRRY1HH
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOqASBkPao
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMcgLGsOHj

I reached out for the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lKSWlu0oe
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQvZXzUHfR
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXlXwaV7Em
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqqCVBOmXa

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mhhuEfdIa

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcxHz0fLx3

"I could hear it ringing1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIfvpPtqhp
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrbk9fHLdY
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVeHXxjnN6

"Thanks," I said as I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D7msdda3v
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClFJhNqUUI
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKYQqk1zKT

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReooMBdKh3

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbsfsrw32K

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi7dy6caml

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwJc6W5Lvw

Lee left the room and I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVHSAVk4AK
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSu037I5Ya
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPapOFoVVb

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFPd6FWKeN

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6tlDSVfxd

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63sJB8hvI0

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MmmO2WXGk

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAX504RrHo

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKDOultEdk

I dashed over to the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbeBrw0EcV
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgkFqPvi1d
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0qpbH9COA

It was now 10 PM and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSbwhXHOJ4
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9PDK3zPjn
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9e8lrn3tx
they were right now.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCByUbsJGzw

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3dlsP2H9k

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqItjdfzQH

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkag0OghVzn

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiJQBAICM9

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fs2yQQVTf

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekCMqW1WNK

"True."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Bu6uBhiD

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosObSK8fuS

Two bell boys came out 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuGYnxtgLw
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw0Mk9jkQS
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgKWA8t9YE

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtfLiOhMLA

There were so many gift 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKdtSNQf2C
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSemMToqMqw
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQUzzaYIdg
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeQkFaFZYO
so pissed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHq20XdE1b

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBtCl6aQ1Q

"They are downstairs," he answered.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit26i2rHcj

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6P1dn0ptJ

When the doors flew 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN8aWrK2HH
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pGmgsnRcN
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpbFBQcXaz
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI5aB7Swy9

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RPLrMi4hv

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETFYBERP4o

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtVijtD00p

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n2nsugwWO

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT8BkkeObz

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtaYw2do6b

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdDOps5Xp9

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO1AswRiTX

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKG1etL9R0

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFacbtcXaC1

I raised an eyebrow. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnFrJy0Tq7
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubJnlBoL2m
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxOMp6t43

"Okay. Enough," I said as I shook off Zoey and Christine away from me. "Can someone please tell me why you're acting like this?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFtajj9vtT

"Everyone just missed 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jYyGynYP8
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasvh7cZNJH
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w4EHcZ3zs

I rolled my eyes at him,1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9GJylC1G4
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vs2btpwoG
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGrYHPsRSb
face when I hugged him.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYm7FFFP7p

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vLY7p5nq5

"Wait! You missed TOP 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0njLoDMiHi
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayy3DNxtEG
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht2MAvUsF1

I always loved it when 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rpVjW7H5H
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi2czdw8m1
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qxx9DVYOD

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV7bzjOklT

For a moment, that voice1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9HLYRG8Fi
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp6PTiSOPH
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G6pXezwGZ
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr2hpAoZh3
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDyHfzT8hs
he was still acting the same way he had left.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTLNVwPyx2

I was really confused. I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqcBpiBAoU
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YZeFg3lH7
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyxSP0ZHpG
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnQNkhEKA4
personal and it had to do with me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WmparHxMZ

I had no other choice 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMaGh2bL8o
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKWPJR5mkU
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQL8DeLXDV
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3UvOtOW89

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z608poMLl

By the look on his face,1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jqF2nwqxL
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOPBgD1One
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgaQhqejjQ
going to end pretty tonight.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymCr3MRtE5

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21skoCCfLF

"Ya, I did."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH1wOAxJv6

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4W0c5lOMV

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0vPFX9j3n

"Can't wait to hear it,"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsO4MadQpi
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXgGfNvYV7
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwAEEUOPKS

"Anything for you, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTGmrMtKD6
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz4eFLsgQS
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNFeXGTx3L
look at Zoey.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWOHwycRJ3

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVxUVHizgf

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zdbiqdksI

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaE0ajF5V0

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9BECgUk1U

"You know Collins is 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKssETh444
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1gR8zcDvr
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbOuLKRu9h
floor.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUjfSxoyHH

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloGGiWlVhz

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGGtJrZhhe

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwNOupIg4q

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX00wJYOwW

"We better sort out all 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsA6xVXbV8
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49o1vfVEaz
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ1O110pXF
floor.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQip2sRumlH

Sorting out all the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf9XGvKZry
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ow1n3nvk0
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Xks2IRtK
had really bought a lot of stuff.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcGsIPqZ3P

The boys had brought a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYDob0zfuq
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkMeOQGO1u
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlvQsGmOcA
expensive designer shoes.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxCZr6s5zD

As for Zoey and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5pogWDuDE
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorlj4jazw3
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnK92RkP4Q
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h2OrhJZ3r

"G-Dragon was helping me1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz2nACKagA
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjJnfE0HiW
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpWMp8J3nv

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfZJdVqQZq

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZwT4PGDKe

We were sitting on the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg4QdI796u
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qPjtuNG3c
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBBQ7hzJB5
stuff with Collins' too.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0NwDZx56t

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OpUOTOGdh

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlZSxso32k

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI90Ef7huG

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7FcoPeQXE

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xjwcRx6Sk

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCytsZkHR32

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRdVotsQM5

I distributed the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf3askmfNG
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySN24TfHbP
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZyX2KYXdL
was meant for me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPziGNRQFd

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd222I9832

"Don't worry about it," I said as I walked over to her. "We will find it tomorrow. We can't go through all these right now."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ1MgDQbih

"Ya, you're right," said Zoey. She had a gloomy look on her face. I could tell that she had bought that gift with lots of love.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvqRz6K8Ix

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPUfxxmJ9T

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk7WsnpIk3

For a moment, time 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOOpERXlGC
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzjpscXXw8
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2a1cskidA
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O27k6p0xC
mess.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KTVK9UKJk

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPvw43urEE

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMhQslysbw

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uhMXAU53C

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlAiBXwUqq

For me, it kind of felt 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfEqbpD6Ni
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90liK0DQku
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvu88JC9s9
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiqSvns7v6

When Collins came to the1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8HtpTnhlH
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl3EhExhx3
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOfzWC4xSy
he just couldn't.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxKf5tOKcC

"Hey, Collins," I said.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeWKtAo6NM

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXzedhEI5r

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqN00Qh248

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanz3KCVyaL

"Thanks."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1xs0p5p5t

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7oFAEBHTl

"Who?" I asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeH5K2vKwN

"You know who I'm talking about."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqK5Gk4bKl

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSabHBkaoc

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES3WX6nKGx

Collins went over to the1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG8m8mqhjQ
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerkit6hN4k
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hjkhsp2Dx
up at him.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUA74zOOzw

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Md4pNPqV

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5X6KiIAAU

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuv6PuFpuY

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq11LorlPM

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOytdqs3r5P

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmscZFWOVhP

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRrmRORaqi

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXjMkvr1RR

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2X6lIuK0v

"Ya, most of the stuff weren't bought by us, you know? If it came to the designer clothes, it was all from Chanel," said Zoey.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7WRy9ZBsA

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvShGYUBAb

"Here, we brought you an1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX71bTNABc
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2aEQrTT5y
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuQcobjbyw

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJG0tvY5Z2

"Thanks," said Collins, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUPeGZU22g
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeyJagPUix
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj9b5VzmE2

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEIQxXPz3k

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8uiVQF3Yk

Lee was right. Collins 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhirBbiFWk
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnoZ6bsDBM
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG1m616RtG
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunDv4i7Zb0
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHdXkrvji2
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMxtpTfmPz

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSomKZZmxs

We continued sorting out1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0TTzouig7
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLfkrkSvdw
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWRWdK39rU
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xMkG7xQiX
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywzywUaew0
already too late and we all needed to rest.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMNBVRnowm

We hadn't managed to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi03Z7uQXu
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLOZ0fQ5L9
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX4JYSWjcu
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yTLvnd0ya
course.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe0pbRN8eo

When we were all done and had retired to our rooms, Zoey quickly pushed me into the room when I was just coming into the room.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL5xfEo3p6

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNFohKkqvX

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHi3buZ2mQ

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOzETybF7s

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqI5Ed3rBd

I looked at her with an 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOVLW4OlRl
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqsysnaS6H
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBgEIIlxU9

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU8uqEFbp6

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfHPGbcXSV

"Fine?" I looked at 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirke6JaBZc
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd038ODT0fM
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zBKia8yUd
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjeRCANPBk

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GZMd7ELWf

"Tell me, please!" I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVsGbfN8UV
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrRM29gDqv
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdqdjyAsC4
tell me something. So tell me!"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhQzRvqtyu

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4RgHSsCqH

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUahFLnlW3

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm2KbN5G72

"Hello! Earth to Zoey!" I snapped my fingers in front of Zoey's face. "You look so lost. Please tell me what's bothering you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwl5REN5nb

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUJYa7fhh7

I felt really excited 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJzQckGaGi
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6vFta8ghV
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphnttfJuWu

"I don't know how I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKozfZcoNQf
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu8rIlU2Xn
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgu7On8gST
Tower."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYHTsQPhWF

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSvAkHzfdj
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ckgrSeUMi
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2z1ZXplcu

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW3u8qQPiX

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBBLknR3Ht

"So we got to the Tower and we were having a good time as usual." Zoey paused as she licked her lips. "Then something happened."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI88HWQQbZ

"What?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSjLuYnhrF

"When we got to the top 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH84oX9xnqj
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz1isCR8Qx
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEO6bcOR3f
others had left and it was just GD and I."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbSibw998Q

My eyes grew wide. I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF0gWEBSxM
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXhGKFfmf3
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBppSTcZbz

"You two kissed."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilVBOyYLIv

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ReJGVT4KD

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVm79pQHzr

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3DzFKx7Nr

"Well, you were in one 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEpI6Rk3tV
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZcXIFMWYr
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijyV33fBCK

"Smart."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kfhIN1MHF

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6MLi8IayN

Zoey smiled like a fool,1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMmeDK1T2V
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjonDxeCDW
it was so magical at the same time."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNhbuMfBcS

I couldn't help but 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXXjW1khqg
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqqGgmUYK9
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJaBH2IdXD
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r9dJ41mxd
everyone at the prom.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapaRMKnbyn

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvqYRI4PiC

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OHqXpyGN8

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmKYH8UPxW

"And? Anything else? 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUCi1hWv7E
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAQKCaR6OG
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX8Zqfws3K

"When we were on top of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOhknAhpGy
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zBgon8YXc
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUNtIEHXGL

Well that's a bummer. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9buhmGHt0y
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ434asKLgcE
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUurXDzw2SR
really liked Zoey and not me?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBIObzeczu

I brushed that off. Why 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyzdn7Vr7E
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz8IwtWPBN
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw9XtRrlCY
hopes up with it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNn2uVoYYj

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdZpr5qfK0

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJXAKLlHr4

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQQFMefW23

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewNGBHts4F

"Thanks, Sam."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmslGGWX6C

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvAH2XNUu6

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ4CnRIdqz

I left Mr Panda on the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlX21ZWO2g
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTgiAGnnZb
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNIRkiWeyb
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixcNN8ijDo
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ505TBQU3t4

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPa19TPkBf

"Good night," she replied. She turned to the other side to flip the switch beside the bed on the wall and the room went dark.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltdglBTlLF

I laid my head on the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm5757Z0vz
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYRlQZ7Xl8
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nNif7MpqZ
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DThhAX2pH
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4mi0kmSYL
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzd2I8YuDu
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQlccH8AZX
have been.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3sOOcPJJ0

Zoey would have only 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bbPHwZR7a
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrywGNCJn7
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZgdGxIwHt
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ThILbhLgt

To be honest, I was happy for Zoey. And when I heard her giggling again, I realised that I wouldn't want to hurt her.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPiPh3w0PZ

I pulled Mr Panda closer1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhSRwjlQxV
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXYfUUGhrm
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfjG5jhUf4

***1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrWPxge8HH

I was given a round of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbkqv9f1js
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd45sLqJlJV
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5GR4PhIm5
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pKqF3FAJ7

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaGAefMAlR

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nqxzyB1xQ

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLgcL8ZcL4

"Then you better eat 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCJVDjzvIv
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYflKtRYmw0
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzfugbrUWI

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D57XByYCm

"I can't wait for us to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhs1jbeyYT
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50PiTBdf0O
beside me. I could only tell why.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzxA5DaSbs

Christine who sat 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1j6lGM2Up
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdFof74Tmn
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUJ13ZBtMC
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsRMwVft9P
and G-Dragon.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uJ4whfmWe

When we were done 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfaojJcZGD
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC64pImdfGx
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCatjT6lPRx

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp1JVIV3XG

"What is it, Zoey?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRGTVqtB0b

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00KgX9hMHv

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIYT8ty0o6

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Qk2qETmY

"That's the problem," 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLThPTgNUr
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfLCubzDWW
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qM485tlCQ
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrBoYw353P

Mike turned away and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j6GkgwBXU
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh5Os4cVTQ
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpsy5OPRR5
something?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSBsmTmH1G

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDgoHa4XRh

We agreed with Christine1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegDEkOoSMa
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn5BHoPBU1
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLevdhCX1w
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayBPj09wVI

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q36TJ8qT3

"Hey, how are you," said G-Dragon as he came and gave her a hug. I bypassed them heading to the couch sitting next to Daesung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwujofQXFZf

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc25Jarh56

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWCsZv3MR4

"I also feel like I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1wmTDN8wb
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QWRoDRJDU
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY5nLwV7RL
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleJO990ma8

"Do you think we should 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7oSvJfdXm
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYDf5PEIn2
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbfVbU2Uux

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xqpPPDWv9

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SURsrTY9L

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3rKKQarGc

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtPu0e6XmZ

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqqYkVjf2X

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VLtxijtFN

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPz7RPVSSg

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmvKehBZmr

I stood up from the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yqJk79GIb
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl0IUJlDdW
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkBYx4Cop1
conversation.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxm3zIVH39

When I went back, I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItwH1v4E5S
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MBxYXrKVE
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmIiQQTxuC
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK05lRJcGe

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRPYe6w0kN

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bvzUrsgtq

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuUTpAARft

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxQC5TuS0C

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w9wbnWL2k

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7j8n9W4h0

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft6tU9iUsu

G-Dragon gave me a weird1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaFY8TPZxk
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDyMqsuVyV
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Qp6lioGy
took their place on the couch.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF1hzgq6UN

"Christine and Daesung, I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahS5rYoDWr
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLFce1DZMs
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByzHjU9ltA

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR41cO9g2O3

"Ya, we will sing the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gkQ0u0ZT6
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fq9MaUwK5
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhJQKOi6ih
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxhTMLXIL3
producer has the lyrics printed out."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVVM7jvtnr

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7CHyA5BmY

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImj8rJKKkg

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3aiZRXmFZ

Then we all went over 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iDXyu80WZ
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzvuuWek3W
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AEt6lHi6n

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyTbgzXZaJ

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLIFerEzM1

"Me too," said TOP.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0inNAQLYF

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ86GSiQMd5

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6rlttiz8K

I didn't look up at him 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeZsxObCyH
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7hDdYLOSn
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcuRblwULc
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zW6Q1Sq3U

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZbIj9ylTA

I started to relax my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAt6PSvYqi
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGakZB0gUD
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9EksORnOe

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP90vH6196u

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWZtnOMKgH

G-Dragon came to sit 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRPH6Ktc7p
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcfUwXdJCt
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XmoCUVG4y
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRDSNO2esa
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1kOkUZJN8

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWmkjDrwv8

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFmuVauHl2

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2JTBdBxvz

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWD2dKXzHo

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnhyrlqzyr

"Really?" the music producer asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGqwfJjDl8

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0zASjI0ic

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOeD8myWsN

"Give him a chance, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlve5KXq6m
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMTo7crhyp
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbXNPts1Qa
headphones and put them on.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzDi1of6nA

"Okay, this is 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W0f2CAU5q
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi2s779CII
join them and see what needs some changing."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsJgBMI7VI

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz85lm8tFYF

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RL2iAUhdZ

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsfk2cKInK

The others looked at me 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNLrlfW2lI
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvurHfXBa1
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEW2aEwHNX

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM6AH00Aqg

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHz34bEfCV

"That's going to be a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe124m6WuOq
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEDwKHNmuA
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0kLIjafgi

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnSiWeo4Q7

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH3vjpuzna

"Okay let's go through the song," I said as everyone nodded their heads and sat on the couch and I went over to get the guitar.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIPXOZ4HCl

I looked over at Zoey 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPHvtYcYYT
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIXaEyNPsT
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXXFmEsYww

I put a stool in front 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoHdXlFUzD
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PJNDiYgt6
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1JS1GfT0C
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD99Aeovbw9
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T2fADLBYS
others.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrfMgnsKGJ

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUsN4tviym

Taeyang and I sung the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8Am9rbIlt
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVchLB3ztjZ
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjofyvTeOz
great and everyone cheered.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yjqkz05vL

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaEf5EYHzf

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35GcnwmhWn

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOSjAV8ErX

TOP started to rap the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PgPx3IKOc
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfGiOa0wue
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjeQlj6ngQ
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5lNXzrCMK

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo0tnWkq6v

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYPaiB2hAU

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexdM4fH9to

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Jk42XAKS

Daniel and Seungri sung 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeFAacjGYh
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoNInU51lY
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBDhGWI1Sj
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVYaWKiHxr
clapped for themselves and cheered.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqaOqGZ76g

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUqctHmSyL

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlecFwKjY1

I almost fell off the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqFBNTCmT5
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VNXQkLqht
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqv7zdIfSd
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjlttorZ6R

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxdWvnUJl4

"I have to say, you all 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi9NIsKj07
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4U5GBIzu9
smile. "Keep up the good work."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40uzP7fjAu

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0naFDj4DZ5

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHBlqVfZxO

No one said anything. We1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15UioBMvwz
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBffJFHJ2d
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFZxTbNMAq
talking.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo6jaU1KOx

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJnw8ko9fh

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mFF8BRd80

That, I couldn't answer.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xOjVoEJ61
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNokxS1Ayc0
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbKo1ZAjqv

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFLMnAxuTL

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjpFsZSKJ5

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTJuPNwrIz

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU98Y67mqh

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVhSDi5JO4

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvk3LIZhkE

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVyH9TWRvu

"I want them back here 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSGyESJNmp
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5o43AItfH
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3TX9hjQqI

I gulped as I felt the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy0334VjsW
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVNzlAxeOS
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vu15hJ1r5
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwGNDbVahJ

No one said anything 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9mOggYRJe
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHOQD2ymc1
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nbqoQ3HHG

"Where could they have 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBtoprMFWm
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNW6WPUkZv
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYXBaEeIzd

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yHSRMz4NG

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3cfUsSB1h

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHEIt1BVHa

"Then we better start 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UMwY0uY3a
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHxfXPl2gR
looking for them will be difficult."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68FUz305Vs

We all agreed to split 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YpbJZWBxa
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO8SaHqk4c
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO4YkclvSS
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTIaUh4hOn

All the studio rooms 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBiF5QL0fj
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3SCV0CsIs
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfioS7Ghbf

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA17NBNmT6

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgQiHRRFRB

"Almost fifteen minutes."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfWb6ZgmkJ

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqBmSKFCdc

He nodded and pulled out1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXChg9enI00
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbLkp4W0O7
walked out of it and came towards us.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOkRk0cdDz

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dajLHwodF

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nhNsFoljI

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsC6qsex9l

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzkJZFo7PK

I looked at the time on my watch. We only had fifteen minutes and Yang Hyun-suk was going to kill us all if we didn't find them.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWNWY1Y5IQ

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5ZAngE3QU

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKSLodXJEs

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdMrPo1vPu

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6an9P3TDe

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmXWf7Ll1D

I hadn't said a word 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGTL332qJq
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZyH0WOl4M
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7WaIJ9lbU
but worry.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHPedoLkYb

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUTaWzbR3j

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQJbKT3AZg

Daesung motioned his 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaA500J4z3
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrXQJfLTj0
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBPsUEplsb

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk2YeNjDIw

Taeyang and the music 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHQ1GFeuvf
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeQ2i5LQZa
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE7sulPxp6
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXqFjvIWF8
and angry at the same time.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd5tAFBmlZ

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KwzcwBrx9

I looked over at Daesung1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ObOGiQxE
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedNjAsxHMV
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrKqRaGF43
the play button.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CvpsusVmR

***1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28h2DW8r2b

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bWNeptwSZ

I came crushing back 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5czzonAqV0
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj78PxAaLiL
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdiWwqArvj

I had so many mixed 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nfuAw6Tyh
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavqOKzW6jA
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nphYEMJMB
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4scnPIRYrm
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9tjHMfd8S

I could tell that the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9rXEVRCyb
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7t4Xe0peu
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VwPeLwLR9
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0fiGn5fEc

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWSxxvB8sH

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIUr9K4QZo

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ySl3w7r12

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ244QjA7tzi

I folded my arms and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqNhRNXWBi
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXomOA0OMO
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D0a6EC4u2

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrleeq62ku

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJCN5naZJF

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2XzPfz50l

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NYi79Vwx8

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbXOibXFHU

I could feel the others 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2mVD99F2G
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EgZSRSbFb
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhDfmKNWP2
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ZZn3UFOW
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAWOIU5ysJ
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iIoObzG1n

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTvAZkqnD7

"Okay." I nodded my head.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnIFxifUwx

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtMcvmK5X4
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgmng72ORE
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAgBHlpog0

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEEZl0ngCZ

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O8CehJoPW

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR7oxUALIG

"Not until I hear what 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizu0OPp0QW
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bTsryg0oi
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7gGahFjtc
trying to calm down.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvoCRDcUiO

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCQDYR6VuW

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu33iOExlPm

"So that we could get 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mDRZtMAwL
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIhVPUdHe4
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRwK4xy7JV
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUCbKpgwop

"I agree with Sam," said1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hmEWujoMv
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBQyG1ir02
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4CILIlzW2

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXp7u35zsQ

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCvU8yaK8G

The rest of the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKw0vRwAeR
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNR6XSFgxC
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYhSx0VW7A
playing cards.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vp0ojMsTA

I was leaning my chin on1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRaH8QXdDR
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuFA8biY3S
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RURBVrbLd
especially to me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs2CyZ42kd

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp6CfbsWXP

I suddenly sat upright 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo79OgiNeV
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa0ACPxgUA
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ILFDtjZZ
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL34sKPOkND
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrFlvvNgCa

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAuomOg8kp

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T5JiRpkhJ

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eVkxa89rq

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45Hasu5YIv

"Maybe we can just order1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc8OYxxkX7
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZBKwFvC0y
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc50vDWkIz

"Good idea," said TOP. "Let me tell her right now." He pulled out his phone and just when he was about to call, Lee came in.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhinSpvFdY

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmbVmOUvDV

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAhUKJwK7u

"I heard that Zoey and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9meL8ZSMg
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt45XwR4hLM
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU0mGwEPJM

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeGSocHv5w

"Then it's a good thing 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35BJOKDuTE
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgzZRd7Zm6
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kbV6mylMe

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5PDs296HR

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvoEuN3fVI

Everyone soon dropped 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKes9aKadr
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0gydS871G
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg3EzkkOvX

I had never eaten pizza 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8lRazgUjr
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6aUdN4Hsn
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkfgsGEHID

We were done finishing 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZt17Ue0vy
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBEAxTPsvy
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobpvKj9rNR

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7pfQPbSNI

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwwR1FVQqe

We were huddled up on 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSs0fK1gj2
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfiGL2uMq5
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYjfj5veE8

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k9JivdLoj

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKUgCEpmIy

"You lied? About what?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x8SgiqrgF

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDn5fISYN7

"But why?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwoDw90TnV

"Because, I had no choice. I want to know why GD did this. It's best we know and see how we can move forward."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl3foxQUjp

I finished my slice of pizza and licked my fingers when Lee asked, "don't you think he just did that to get back at you, Sam?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsEZgsqI7P

I didn't expect Lee to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC66KFchsUh
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStFrsKrx4x
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0HkGWLgEK

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6TmfJns6t

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4VWZaDnf9

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iRCtS3jly

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8JwxRfp9V

I stood up from the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5x24zSTXk
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCu6pFN0k3
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIMZrr6qku
later.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pdm0Rq7JS

Trying to find the right1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMBDgTwH64
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yVUiACARd
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7dxOcfCT0
what for, was the question in mind.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53pwLxdD6h

"Aren't you going to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoDmkoOrhD
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB8dD4tbt9
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ewHhQ3GsF

"I doubt it," said TOP. "I was here with them when they were writing the lyrics and the two of them looked fine to me."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIfmr4R1Vo

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6iFNreRq5

I looked at Lee and she was looking back at me with a scared look on her face. Using my eyes, I told her not to say a word.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q0W0C99RD

Lee went on to look at 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5GhNS82KL
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2vdLqVhCZ
just thought they might be arguing again."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSmNnVQyTo

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmontQ0bKY

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5PNP29oz7

"I don't even know what 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvSUBd5B2j
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BKA3EajsF
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GPQDaxEOA

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF4h1YiM7f

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdciT31Hv09

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjKB1Y5N9T

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDXcdIUcGD

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8uvUniOon

It only took five 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJe1nk0IA9
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcNCbL3tgK
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PSe9eq3gK
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZsBlFfjGE

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlGox1raWp

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqr2wcPn8k

Still, no one said anything. It looked like no one was ready to throw the dice first. I cleared my throat and looked at Lee.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfESAP5HhqG

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcHUIprOgV

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf0WQArGJI

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEunAw4sgS

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZO9rQXGUX

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9851P7r9Sl

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmrX1vbh8y

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtb2nHWobj

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96URcJHeDQ

I tried to keep my tone down and my anger in check but I was boiling inside. Any minute now, I might just blow my head off.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgclZaGq6p

I was expecting an answer from G-Dragon but all he did was look at me. I kept on coming closer, my eyes not leaving his.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRH7aZU4bJ

"Why did you this?" I asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYsP7IuNe7

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs77si0icvl

"If you didn't like it, you should have just said so and all of us together would have figured something out. Not what you did."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreVfDPe6Yf

When I got closer to them, I took out the USB drive from my pocket. I took G-Dragon's right hand and placed it in his open palm.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv3srz47W8

"The instrumental is in 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlwC9tVGVU
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHPbHBfnog
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD7jGIlkPb
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKn6XtSyPh
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTkUaRb8uf
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TQ5Ik7QtC
pissed."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebT2xaAnsM

"Wait, a minute," said Taeyang as he came up right behind me. "He first has to tell us what's happening between the two of you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRzZ6JNWFv

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzG4iK7Nta

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjeeMDkCJu

I looked at Zoey and she1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuSpX1Dhf6
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJlYXhrgy8
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwgYDHjl5d
was mad at me for.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92xmS5BZsr

"Now is not the right 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AIfqP4sFq
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpzg02kVJZ
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEr4v2XI1E
understand.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zM26OeRPP

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgskZB3UZm
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOirpoJfcT
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7DLbJlyJS
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFVK6EAZYK

"It's about time you guys got here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned towards Zoey and G-Dragon. "Hope you had a perfect lunch."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF72qn3JGjd

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEghnzxkner

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQyD1fq66c

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sA162jtjZ

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUCUzP2CWc

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjNUjf5hga

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYKlC2Tobn

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaGXoh6Jep

I paused with my mouth 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDD8ZO5q2k
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnapdZ937xp
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZJ1lNFIog
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyP122qGRf

I looked at G-Dragon and1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZw0r1WqDl
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0aqsUWZml
face wondering what he was thinking.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcWt5nFhh0

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWqNnadWzl

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAJs23BFcp

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWr8qCGQw1

I smiled and Seungri 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0xit8wVzl
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC9FJe26lU
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjDTVJexYO
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ784UsIgdFr

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpQHJjnF6j

I smiled a little more. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdLFS14qKA
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpULVKvMd0W
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsvmFfP5c7
were at war again.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwja6C0Rrys

"But we can't start 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlRUzBleDs
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlLxCPTOxJ
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf6Ivk6GDh

I sat upright and alert.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHj2b7NGjV
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt62wz0TqL
have to record the track the day after?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh9x4r4lVo

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2EReGwNv1

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXpzI9sG0z

"But why didn't you tell1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC63PPm3BP
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ch60FFWUA
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJd3K0Hao1

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFHtRuufAa

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBrzhreBMn

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LwWxF0Bmd

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ3gmSvHLD

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhG2BIBFT9

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG2abVzf0h

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox32qVwy4l

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyyh5lEqZL

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLomFMSyfLO

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNv8SXRtZc

The two managers and Lee went out of the room first. Just as we were about to walk out, TOP stopped me by holding my hand.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubarhwYUwW

I turned to look at him 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkK3tS8yVH
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22rbnFDiOF
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElQj9dwZSr
me like that.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRJthzRKPZ

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgIJxaNI5a

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhSlUXxIi2

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4gJkntg0t

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInnpDGcw2c

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf4NaEFZaz

Zoey and the others left the room and I was the last to walk out. I didn't want to look at G-Dragon, but I did.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGcwFl6A7p

We looked at each other 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkC4GppAs6
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7cqbDyNCQ
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zP9jYleAq
Maybe he also felt the same.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNKjdctxRp

But I wouldn't know and I wouldn't like to know what he felt. I walked out of the studio, closing the door behind me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb0qzHAEwa

I then realised that I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0v5YNuoMz
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihcmnuY1Qw
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzKsT15oLF
another time.
