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 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGqJEryPiR
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ENCa1Wl2m
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8PpZtrplp
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBHIw4fswn
bed.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEteG82Y9qO

I scratched my head as I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESywGGh6hb
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4vQkXtLL1
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI0LyLZZ6W
he found me here.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2pvDtlBk2

I slowly stood up and I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQl1GslUVr
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBLCxS5zW0
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL3wPf8cnS
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kW4BHNzGO

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTORm78J1y

I almost jumped in 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOHFyWRcvI
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkonKOmwMVP
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV8KmccOeE
obviously reading the news online.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbXmVKfRJN

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOZKe81Uz4

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwU64iDDof

"'Don't tire yourself 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6BbJH03KH
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIubKEFiwdL
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGI44R1iVU

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiJZwZQraX

"Oh, you were listening?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShI5B4cpwc

"Ya, you kept on playing1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDo1KGTZu5
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6NZvMwXuL
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif2RBuodcC

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ4llPqa00

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT1KeJyXiN

"For covering me with a blanket."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmmVVpdEMQ

Collins looked at me 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyghof8QEA6
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oNWEFgPI7
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfjtii3aiJ

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXeypG8l6O

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRTatBQ8B6

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2etwXVAyT

"Me too."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdXepfJkKk

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUkqPFrZmB

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfbktX0uJS

"Going to take a shower," I said.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO97qHcfSPx

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2v0dpAH0R

After I freshened myself1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROrvNiZD3h
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eNkDLIK7w
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisn2ScBhGk
Collins was still on his tablet.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ttCsUoX9N

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2czyGNeUl

"Nope. Just looking at 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YhBFD3T6V
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDrEcIB7FR
coming back late at night with the others."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWx8eMi7uJ

"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGvEtsiIi5

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnWxY85ZEJ

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ktp5Op8RA

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNcVr9Mj74

Collins handed his 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscrtrv5CD4
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtFd3SO5vr
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp2WenCd5C
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWnwbgl45K
having a great time.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U8IP8mloh

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYwjggJttt

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA7cICntPi

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmjVSBALgm

"They should have as 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOaulNTAaL
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdbujgmflO
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFq8F8atWw

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9JyyhNYZs

"No, it's not about the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIMuPp7dyd
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ZTcTxz21
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1gVTsYpkg

I looked at Lee who sat 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXy8PIEAsR
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RCrAxv8is
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9MRXCpgIV
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0ykH5po7k

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XQCeqOYvn

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeDkyOphhl

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33OgzBWaNe

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYr7DwggLn

"If I tell you, I'll 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E7aGfCh5D
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQyqwxSI2N
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PjAFTc7hR

Collins got up from his 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuLaw0efLY
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWalIJ3lIMC
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8vqQcOzdr
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHzPbZTHIV

"What do you know?" I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyAo88ZoL3
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtQseDGTk3
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd3CkHIwHC
detective asking questions to a criminal.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK3TjSK6Nu

"I don't know," Lee 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwVLH9YyL3
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqXiLgDJbG
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxwmTxjSSY

I knew something was up 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwXRD6gqGK
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa3G7BdPMl
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6irv0dY51

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv1FGPYeni

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXAZAVeWUD

"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbr7ykLbVv

"Hey, what's wrong?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVIyamZfea

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVRcRz7V6q

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOJ1yck7s6

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K51XYapyt

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIJ1gkkFDW

"Well, kind of," I said 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYyi3Ije0H
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OI6c93s7h
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhksXWdNag0

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpa4dvjvoV

"Okay."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgxIMgw7qT

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSPLsjB5e1

Lee, Collins and I soon 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhX1gYqSVT
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79tHC52Imn
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAtm6brcDj
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvxJXmersA
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNSy61TGSH
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZihiV6aim

I was waiting in th 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREo3kbSq2H
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhsfvTNHTg
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp4yHzQK3n
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1z3sjKn7Y
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN1n9dfgpL

I was pacing up and down1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH57AYOI1j5
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszGTI7rMUy
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5YGnTPQEe
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZHiaXLF6C
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIAclftSLY
and I was so nervous.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQVLYGjRS8

"Here she is," said Lee,1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmHkRDZLJb
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatmfOvGKGm
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8PsijAkCD
you, Tae."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcESj1LY20N

I frowned at Lee and I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QlYpd9MAt
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoAp9V0pgH
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuFNCllCn2
friend.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8t7Zwfaca

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpG8FANlg4

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDZEXJaWks

"I told Taeyang that I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKbzpjX0Dh
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrnaAQCwff
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3btbR4FsXe

"Our manager called me 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhteRk9Wsh
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd7UFmqOcn
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6epqbNu79w
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41vIaJ6tHA

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGOieMVL5c

"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhxXOjJu9G

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1qwiQ8oct

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J9FdZFQWF

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClSnrTTHJr

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCcmUJEFj2

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9VV2hHPtb

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxnroAuKyF

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiQgzAY3sv

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEgyi3ZjWR

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRS2GsV8gE

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwIEfaVviS

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Edcnk33p

"Sure."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp22MSxQui

I gave Taeyang my 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIelF8vuB8
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPLC4aMeIt
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi722rgiyJT
cute together.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGirRulfI6H

"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."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAAC0PibEP

"Thanks. I was singing 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeECaurHIB
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EC7ibf3bx
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaPhnYI99b
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTBI7ctohR

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojJpZ9GsIB

"Well...not really," I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYzQeksCEt
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95KWVuo4qe
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhukXZpVYD

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5bAj3sNnH

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQTdu4AALG

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSE1FVGQWV

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaJIJI9l7o

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmqfrHLbPm

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63gcUC8clm

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4hybZsJUq

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCUhrZhfBL

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ1afe9PEY

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡropaTOqpVV

"Right now."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HBIUYSCaw

We all turned towards 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx5Ax7TMbU
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfUiS9KfZv
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZnpkXmZ1x

When everyone got 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiStI0MdOs
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5RsGnnIeT
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY43m7kegDH
run out of the room.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBugkifbPCv

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNcQ29JY8x

I nodded my head and my 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBfa5E3sr0
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVgdmH9hYx
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr4erBYheg
ever got to play it.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhLh76qESA

I felt a break of sweat 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkCRuFTPfZ
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHRrwM3WpI
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga7pNAFUQI
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOvqlmdoGI
strung the strings on the guitar.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCFykeExSb

I started to sing as I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhpDwo7t1v
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP66A6bnXNR
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivETTX7TYx
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7fZQgZJ0u
didn't. Well, I hope so.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC6H3mpQCc

As soon as I was done 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxpFfFSdQG
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAmfVFEYUy
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiTvJRe3OI
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUTfdVp4Gq
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHHU0avqAu
hoped they liked it.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrLMtENCI8

The studio was still 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLFssVzoTs
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6iPG7BfTB
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1latU7xFV6
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gig9GWO64

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XQAZgIufQ
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgIbxe8PVY
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvPH0uAoyZ

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qM9JCgf9x

This was it. The hammer 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICQutb5T8N
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWOEe1G29b
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXVz6GfHsE

"....incredible."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggTD81ZDBT

I opened my eyes and I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hhy3LiKKE
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e17NWQ8S4
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKcCIiwdWd
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRqvBFcbJX
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UgrI0OFeI

"I've to admit, when 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl9WJwjfxO
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bKlyj1USj
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcjh0pYt7V

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDDKzHZjXa

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNqZd2qAJo

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW6YyQCad5

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SFsWPyqwy

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Td2yPMJKZ

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAS9aZ2jnl

I couldn't stop smiling 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDInDsJpYR
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ1FQO50IM
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUoNI23JOa
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SApezpbhO
good voice and a golden one.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VANmhXuG5

Immediately our managers1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroWdQl4iby
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ864Y8enxb5
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3FZTeTrPx
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yU6dgTWy9
musical instruments.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgpCiF6CYg

This was always the hard1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9X6JDWHXg
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15kRAPDkdF
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0UyKD75tX
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpbD61U64r
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80IeALjlO5

An hour had passed and I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2KXNxnWLk
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBkE1CjjbQ
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYtFIvz87F
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYRNhruHgA
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY7Fj27yL1
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLmwF4RfyV

"It's been an hour and I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLkgtP6u58
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPt1erFbcm
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j9YmbpAyu

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHmb0GAV1q

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM7Uef4Bnt

"Trust me, you're so 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTkDOJd9IZ
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxAvfE8TQS
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN850HNnHMw

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJA2PrpyZQ

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LSOCFtQLb

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSGOjuFife

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ6hV0Yete

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpkfX90vJy

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7zOJuJRf7

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuFcPX0Wfc

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4snK8Jjaf
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqoq7bCKpe
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fMqI79l2O
masseur."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhGR08wC9x

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzpFbyYpAw

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m8oUQMfOG

The music producer soon 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XBWE4g9Si
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpeSWaehue
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtItwSyN3I4
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWLP6rTJAI
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXIAQ5TNTd
recording the track.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD2M80AmBG

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0oEN3mgQx

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyXCwWBsS8

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBYMyS0SBe

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yMcxRVE1q

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaq2Ogm6QP

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ588zgNLHch

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbTMTuFXbB
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakd7S6KINK
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ094vbaGt4c

"Let me guess, you're 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgpoyiuAAv
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Pi671yz1
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLGlzIpaw0

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Njy1pNOAr

Something told me his 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPqWbjhLDW
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNGfBmUfL6
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNwFDcoY4h
always does.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDCmPQolS4

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzsgMlV8qg

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9IYpx8HfM

It was late in the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBxw6s1MIJ
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaUYnCdHbl
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAF8fcPqP2
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqTtvIEWrM
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1u5fCpwIE

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyXUg6gbwT

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w0qoaUQ3T

I looked beside him and I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jkD4XFC52
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0Bw9Dnjuw
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTZoY3xaAJ
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDWuqzkIvv
leaning my head on the console.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaeRG1ZIww

"I always hate this part1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC7N3IZylS
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCHaBRINZY
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqBfDMaeMv
console.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbku7L9mdN

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmHN84V8Mk

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOkLRJyIUg

"I wonder what time."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4LuXxUVgr

"Wait." I pushed my head1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YYAGxzeBd
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMFwZCcNgd
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8pL8FinOd
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ850EvMxjEH

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTL2CnhGFY

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aWeqvgXjL

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeYZEYQriP

"I didn't sleep well 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXPQzGRaJC
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1101yvkT6
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySsyla9AuA

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgf3yDvMcu

"You're right." I soon 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qTZ6CYEwu
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFgD69uo6f
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiS7UdHxlP

"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV5LRJRQFK

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziGCf4dLVq

"Alright. Thanks."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1OMbihjRk

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi1gRaHsX5

"And so will I," said Seungri.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxxZFRgFfm

"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k2IdXLMLc

Immediately I left the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjn5YJUVQP
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1IoUdT4dh
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOgiyFco1E

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEgHAJqGYL

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Noj9jhKK

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbT3I1hcbA

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMNPqtgxaZ
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnX4ndxhAi
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bxj2nQVF4

The next thing I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXOP9WqyJW
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4POJfhEJn7
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zlXYZ02JG
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Fe3VNwAN

I woke up by the sound 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk3EwjMYNt
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMJvPdwZGI
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD5br2V48I
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLbKToLJtL
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTwT9V3hm3

I reached out for the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbQqFcZFpa
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RfRTQIqNv
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL3ATNm3PH
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGsJdSrGpm

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyZ7L5dtu2

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQC1XkHgXn

"I could hear it ringing1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldUbAlWlwA
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWj89PhxNC
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSrPlsZDM3

"Thanks," I said as I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wtsDWVDwc
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF3fvioSGe
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0QPXFzZjz

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxy3IUrqpJ

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL5M192aDU

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKevY01Olk1

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx9S9JISnk

Lee left the room and I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxhRUAzOS0
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqid6tznU8S
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeztedyVfe

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyalt7IXlv0

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqTi5HTuOj

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GeeoPPqyP

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdGwlLxhQ6

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kmIlz9pOl

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpY1fb0NnN

I dashed over to the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO1JxGjMYa
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbfQRdeiuS
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw6A6A9OHw

It was now 10 PM and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOpXHqrliY
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0b8MDnXl8
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtZJMjBNqU
they were right now.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKkqi2ZT03

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4JEwfCQAb

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj3zdlAjGp

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH18m7ENb0

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc1NtcCX6f

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNmHLFh1f2

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CYhvwlG81

"True."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PqfqBEfgm

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiZfz2elSo

Two bell boys came out 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI771ZSw0B6
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWiqcCUcNa
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknP7ftN2UE

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUP2nT5laW

There were so many gift 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoymJ9fADHW
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGYSoqMbxe
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKMJ1etcbF
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4GxyU1QTk
so pissed.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7uqFSCXeT

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds0ZIQWMhq

"They are downstairs," he answered.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTyd9eXUsq

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACUULPJIpC

When the doors flew 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxG0bFt0GV
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrP8oNTget
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggrVSRp7vZ
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRciyrSPQPS

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLx7yAWwHL

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tgLwC0kiV

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrfxl2kvbq

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUKju01bIt

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9PWudVE1l

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SHLmfIJJw

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nULnv2xns

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarZTEhl1ZB

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNdGTNJYOC

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHg4nwGUGY

I raised an eyebrow. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj22x70AmSe
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSi1rKVRI5
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7OG2U0Kzf

"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?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxlT1KxJjq

"Everyone just missed 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy3NSHreyo
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmyWm2cvlR
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIV48QUJLl

I rolled my eyes at him,1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtC7yFMgIE
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4bQLMUlKV
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpvyrKPras
face when I hugged him.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o0gqoB7Gj

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMmtaD4Bwv

"Wait! You missed TOP 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvYTAAN20f
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e1qSy10ud
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32vHszOWCF

I always loved it when 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKbgKRsvXh
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYQZcskvpP
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQnzBoj1Wh

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1VB2fTvR6

For a moment, that voice1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiigJAjdOMz
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ24e4fEmml
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEvcfa1S4d
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKddIZJ9qr
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhO9W8zaLC
he was still acting the same way he had left.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT2mYvzmu2

I was really confused. I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ5rX5siKD
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxAyYcXily
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjMuPna6XS
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yngz5NUcC
personal and it had to do with me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL7wicZHio

I had no other choice 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc6OoREh9H
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwfFWPuX7X
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ3if1Hr9H
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBz9bT8QZq

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT11fXe00bM

By the look on his face,1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyZqOXwvcI
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVPNSyLO6I
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkIhJvqNdZ
going to end pretty tonight.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm0XDo1uWz

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxevIIJDInl

"Ya, I did."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul14wXVIGg

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVKuJepdsH

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhlN9LTluA

"Can't wait to hear it,"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIybj8oiV8P
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMWGG5uDSk
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTGDZrmA13

"Anything for you, 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcGaCAHbTS
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF2mMaSRAu
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxX5yLso8K
look at Zoey.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloH4nfHUrR

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWUh5fJmsx

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAHNLhBGil

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16KANdZi1B

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplugDaDocw

"You know Collins is 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOipaanV0Mk
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVLrdunOqJ
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshaOE0GZAw
floor.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkGElpxKzP

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu20ygCFVOK

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9WBpacRL4

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AKJtXSS2m

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEvTFEmVtC

"We better sort out all 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmCfvthPFm
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUPyOtjxhP
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wub5w8uqx
floor.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1tHloa7AW

Sorting out all the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuqOEL5r9o
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m4wR3A5iW
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDa4t0iKA8
had really bought a lot of stuff.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMRyhyLloh

The boys had brought a 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigywGuE6b8
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dj91nEaNl
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8a1OBDOoC
expensive designer shoes.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEI04AUehk

As for Zoey and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyVFgbbeUS
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1mKg8Gnqv
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDRTFkCkS3
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpTrh2QVE6

"G-Dragon was helping me1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAx8Zn8buQ
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiJxXWtLds
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1yroSUlqE

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2VzW2zHJi

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5VfXu33Fd

We were sitting on the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfipR8idHn
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrQKiPpyyT
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWtFr0pJ7W
stuff with Collins' too.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OmiLHEVvO

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7hnFZeofK

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZfPqhYAoO

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QaNgl7Sr0

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLaAZ8Hlx8

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUWJ7tZ5my

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hrbeor625

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHXzFu97P5

I distributed the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyVqQsGQme
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiFzpNst9M
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqin25C3Ec
was meant for me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYefWIvMuQ

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm84nZUsI8y

"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."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVxtuonVLS

"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU3kZ3Ehs0

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oPxxENawu

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTfkLAiV4f

For a moment, time 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCooK7eXWx
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN0aab3s1N
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJSh1rqw7v
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QcWr7K8ZW
mess.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbwcFAjPuc

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpsbs5dXES

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnRtpzwkLJ

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zo3uWuXYU

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRb3zAhJz5

For me, it kind of felt 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTify41YUb
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgwPpAL67Q
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K2RDHdqjj
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2obZ8q6pHV

When Collins came to the1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH3aVuxBkv
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimomgpnUIK
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZkhQCACBk
he just couldn't.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgYokxN57m

"Hey, Collins," I said.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYW97XbvuD

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVH48yAtzg

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPekYS1o2Vd

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8GeNa4L8p

"Thanks."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7llqoSCeAO

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fG9BTuinK

"Who?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt0oJAv0Gk

"You know who I'm talking about."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Po1w2iYwN

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnseMeRdFG

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqgX3Mqlgq

Collins went over to the1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2GaBE0NM2
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMibLer1TwV
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOQq9PTwSR
up at him.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsmB35Oa7d

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygTy2UzVAe

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEOHneCKs6

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEyGMs6PGe

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJdEiQgbCm

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g62a4AYLK

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuraNqcH0N7

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzXVDV0FBt

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVAEsxdND9

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMVX5Tb81m

"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp30tlqK0uE

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02BAunRtoR

"Here, we brought you an1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj18fQJBUxj
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqptfadOi6
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxjgqZOfu5

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpknBMMp3O

"Thanks," said Collins, 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb8vjuoPjE
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1erwwyqVK
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd3hWuDDZC

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR5BBcW0mz

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk36Cv4fFlb

Lee was right. Collins 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs95riclPMi
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHiDVrMU4v
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvYbGIhjD8
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgf1OODw8a
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6S59z24i9
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wxlLwvfqo

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKWMz2c1A5

We continued sorting out1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiP7giCZV9
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIkTdUYdro
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jg2ZCwycU
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZUzOx0IXL
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaHkzMJDfE
already too late and we all needed to rest.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZMerVum12

We hadn't managed to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7R6wQ5ymr
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpoPv1g5Ta
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ng7blUhic
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG2ENkFB0b
course.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqwbIpwEDU

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTQadmlrTZ

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxpBNTszEi

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq9uT9vRpo

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRHtY4OzBo

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYjHrpikr9

I looked at her with an 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QDz8x5sXz
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqTx2tOyDX
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihEZfMuPIf

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjlAKaW4OU

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBjYIQ5Qwb

"Fine?" I looked at 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4mbc7fJXl
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbcHxJk8Au
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx4czZ4kIr
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8y7w0LDgf

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc6vif0H1k

"Tell me, please!" I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhnIhw5PQ4
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnDgC2fCAe
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FDBEw4bFJ
tell me something. So tell me!"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlzxEyeRWA

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K8ZXTr3DN

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy7PuqzVvj

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0cCxmPtrr

"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."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY9Ux4KS6t

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhNkNbbCE7

I felt really excited 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS1wawf5vw
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44mrbabsya
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiVtlPQAwp

"I don't know how I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigE3ag7hqC
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXT9IOlNfN
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt2IkBfqtk
Tower."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsSvwbuwYI

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUA6auFpjS
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tg8fkks3Q
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK370HZrxR9

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2TdlkgRO8

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhGfzoHEuw

"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."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNkO2HGX0O

"What?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrOIv2J94I

"When we got to the top 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNzhCcln8x
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYS2QCaTRx
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6iM5VTUij
others had left and it was just GD and I."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKV1pu5Dho

My eyes grew wide. I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69jaouXTB4
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYpZd4il3X
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcVEZ4JGfF

"You two kissed."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWfZ101Bnx

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG6MqCAdBH

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucKxYMLEZJ

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5EpGcSQMX

"Well, you were in one 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyP8HP4Hdh
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ832UCtsbSb
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlRuzLMB3V

"Smart."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSEOla5t1e

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVXNWj98xH

Zoey smiled like a fool,1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunhW0hJK1I
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0RX8nHbMD
it was so magical at the same time."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8baPwkPakV

I couldn't help but 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlFyvb6lTq
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNlSnredA8
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHxq8UbbBO
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHnJEZwPPC
everyone at the prom.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY6RJBt65E

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr9jzjcpqK

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcsnHNOPfq

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56li1THG5r

"And? Anything else? 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhuZUX8EbD
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDblHqMJuwH
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDuoiBn4eN

"When we were on top of 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBxwkJRraH
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFPf3MkO5k
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTtjwKQrBr

Well that's a bummer. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSfIP7vhBJ
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NB8PqSv5c
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrbo9owWpf
really liked Zoey and not me?1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxqPXUCW4X

I brushed that off. Why 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiFEJH3C4z
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73qBqd182H
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB0fhH8paI
hopes up with it.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcYP2O6K5j

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObKnj1oOjU

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrHgONUTMK

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0zHdEjUl3

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a0rYjJdxR

"Thanks, Sam."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iEARYnSIp

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW2v4fPm7q

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0egIipTrc

I left Mr Panda on the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76sciE4fDd
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdbuhCvIDI
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5VIgpZ59n
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sc3aXfMcJ
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NuY6LVlUE

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbhjVVxpLh

"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsRTU5jZDm

I laid my head on the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTVQ617GCz
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaH6Hdk6vs
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1V4b0Wmp2
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD3l5pP96V
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ125GSEox5B
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z6AthTBH5
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1XuOmlB6s
have been.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxEBh9Bppe

Zoey would have only 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA87Eq3yC5R
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkJLoQdPWX
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXdb0PNM91
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dv5NAmVxO

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwH2XSe1Nu

I pulled Mr Panda closer1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4wCVDj9kp
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrMT9GDsZC
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3kVcsu3SQ

***1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSXBCHRUnn

I was given a round of 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuuXPuf8ok
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLcokH6DdN
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcmKkHrfYx
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sB3mRiLPI

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Dms2JQaZ

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWsiPwbDBy

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kiDMd3gXC

"Then you better eat 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVKMjXNF8D
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4IlYBVVam
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI0gWvFr3g

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mKh9xXxF8

"I can't wait for us to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Ohlig7kG
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoY3lCo3SF
beside me. I could only tell why.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U2WmTVhd9

Christine who sat 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntrG3AVfGY
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jdwzjh8dZ
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aYbiBaBRk
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxevWghOsk
and G-Dragon.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPuNlwluHk

When we were done 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDUwjHa0aP
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfdH34c1Bn
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLE244tl2h

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKJUrabJGD

"What is it, Zoey?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfNdVS8sGk

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlIrAaKdnO

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaqYROtSvf

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OQlCiXYI0

"That's the problem," 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIOtNxjdpD
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2WyKJRkoT
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAktYtJJbD3
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2TnfgpTsr

Mike turned away and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRqAZsFJaa
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkJdtYvQVf
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nO4V4OLXE
something?1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QoxeqzpiP

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R2CLB7Ej4

We agreed with Christine1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYRTrcMK1k
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1vGTWYxsR
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPNLCV7duq
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqtDJtFZUq

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk4YqfTmJs

"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLlv2raz72

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzSYhq2J0P

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vqsdaUxe5

"I also feel like I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy2KvLK8NF
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoba6QTxUF
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tXJQ7f0rL
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeefoujft1o

"Do you think we should 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhczubT4S4m
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIspqqSQ2C
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3vWvcXbea

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIlBVsA3f5

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13iwQygWZu

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqhj0l8yDY

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcTcBGCQCE

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl9UwN5wx6

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8huLg9PXTj

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeySSGbeBhU

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZHSlA5Mzr

I stood up from the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFd4nTfDra
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLwcXdUCFj
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5r29jMc4j
conversation.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPgrYj9I2q

When I went back, I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0evNSmL0tm
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZBJAFqQ2R
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkx13haTsn
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJZJZeEr80

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaubkmQaJ8D

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMxbxayOLR

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWXH2WaMS

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ71yLjhVgr

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOsn0hTeln

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZJz0NCvZf

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTNGWARY5f

G-Dragon gave me a weird1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAKd97HPmT
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUkXMtzq6i
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08h2XdG4rb
took their place on the couch.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2rla6D3V7

"Christine and Daesung, I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbifOcYSq7
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTggQXNmb38
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnli2JOHaoD

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiVUqt5s0b

"Ya, we will sing the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W633b8NEq
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3xY8400WT
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9OJLKiBUH
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstpxHIM9P6
producer has the lyrics printed out."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sTe8g9NoY

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBu590JyV9

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZpuRxBT1r

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYAy3g3bO8

Then we all went over 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgbx9SOFTU
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvByT0L2Ec
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFGIFqnS07

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSnDiReMH4

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM74VBv0My

"Me too," said TOP.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS1NWyIDDX

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTWlTOlZZB

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBnT7LI87V

I didn't look up at him 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8iXvyPSDI
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaArKZlyAb
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSckOv4G3qC
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEDXOFSKRN

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc8gt3jA7G

I started to relax my 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymRZxiOSme
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6IfqOseFu
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmf4KdLjhR

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qCpLG0BGk

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOo8VXVrpA

G-Dragon came to sit 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyCvxroA9h
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapM2TrAazC
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUmhpeAVgg
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfsezHZECA
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡburqIh2twS

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpJ5jzkJ42

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfexIsUpsm5

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOePZvJM2v

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCLwT4fFaa

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4nEB8qmWf

"Really?" the music producer asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6UB8HX8ug

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZtq3oUp1k

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih3NKtCI8f

"Give him a chance, 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka7cvHtQqC
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbDq4WEqAL
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF0dhID3oN
headphones and put them on.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cuKZBzXBg

"Okay, this is 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAa5RYPX0m
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ4bI16lce
join them and see what needs some changing."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXYBdr1oNb

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1YdlFt66A

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP2z2BDGiE

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x90UJEVXP

The others looked at me 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ciPTCLyM
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWQEUnCurs
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbh9MnY9Zc

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvnnWljKDu

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztVTGYIyCX

"That's going to be a 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfPZ9E5YSg
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpvatWVIDF
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kO4NvVNIV

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHPJEDjNlg

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vxpvT8BmG

"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ174Hc9SlYA

I looked over at Zoey 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBLm3POde0
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz9JDikdxD
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Iyfl00yKH

I put a stool in front 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXApIAxLWaq
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoYWmJbIwx
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn8N3KXpLl
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqTsrFqEvS
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM5G4SBdVo
others.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzst5xt8BvX

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFon55lPZ0

Taeyang and I sung the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemFMdXYT8S
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrMBpTRpDM
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7PntTP9aj
great and everyone cheered.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwn2bpRu0X

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4ccgN5i4O

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCvUsDddN4

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sfbrUaA70

TOP started to rap the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsXmApySEZ
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl1ZS5aSMf
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnve6auUSLP
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjuC0lVSRz

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIt6w8K45h

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogT51uBjRt

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Iba0vveTV

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvJgRxddHb

Daniel and Seungri sung 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kJrEBt4dv
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvIQ540O8w
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37iN6A5Dzb
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEzS4clD3L
clapped for themselves and cheered.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdjoE8zJcz

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyxPt1799D

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeMI8T4t5A

I almost fell off the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ1i69Derw
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9lfuPEThu
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxflpO8hTe
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6BWizCauL

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBLtieMiMe

"I have to say, you all 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78FRUaiylk
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01gygOoG2C
smile. "Keep up the good work."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhicQqm1tY

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7rnwqfqVA

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVVtHbUKIB

No one said anything. We1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubnl7LuDgk
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3BVXMMub8
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR7oFdF0I9
talking.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEwRSjJeH6

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNKsfCgxNw

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy54jJBuQGu

That, I couldn't answer.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUiouzUcFU
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBakO2AVdd
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyKy8qGZpQ

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h1nmhSXFr

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi33SL9gjE

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GVufBDJj4

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXoKy2T4OZ

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6JcS9CmG4

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8vjjz84lK

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTw4Zbb500

"I want them back here 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL16r29WVD
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLVJVrBlAA
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAthBhePIIc

I gulped as I felt the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc14oB6jzOm
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy4LYUWXWI
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPOH7xSNwl
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCeXvKbRjd

No one said anything 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosneGPCuEr
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uzaXvdOhm
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQtMCuKoPU

"Where could they have 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jG1TfowbW
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0E3PjFYEB
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzGswnLr58

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneT0vlID5f

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Dyd2zx3W

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyIWfDpmty

"Then we better start 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP45UwSwNoy
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIomuZoKMZC
looking for them will be difficult."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbiAjjgKgE

We all agreed to split 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Oi8OYcwK
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHgO4xnARs
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qf1ouGnlL
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKD6DbFZZD

All the studio rooms 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqGmSAT5CV
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyTulxXCLI
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcinpyds1xd

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaayWhZvqVN

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6O0Nn1pGG

"Almost fifteen minutes."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd3cGcYMi3

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IWWtK0AS6

He nodded and pulled out1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOndvw4UH2
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PLHna3Hnp
walked out of it and came towards us.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBitSFjCtb

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQtlyNl2j4

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8ta2W0var

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb9iqFoZs5

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26Tjio78GQ

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgjVMYDYAv

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHKjXf6gRS

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0stXkm7wmo

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXNmShGPqn

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tdj9Jt6FH

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA1DWlKypg

I hadn't said a word 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQNW2sLxqq
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckOyiXBUj7
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf2hNlEtLZ
but worry.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmfPqxPfZh

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkXq48sOXr

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMWs4gzCkr

Daesung motioned his 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopp93S9IDK
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnQMR3tsGc
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jji4Zcolh

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh76455Lff

Taeyang and the music 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnWiC32wVu
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnpTFRlsiV
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq7Gd5OEYt
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegSBBxi44N
and angry at the same time.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRyr3FEBfg

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JiObFZncm

I looked over at Daesung1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o8eeHvRQI
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X43orgXYK
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNCgRzLmOQ
the play button.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFrJ1G4rj1

***1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwejPhXJSjo

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdLcsx4erk

I came crushing back 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ581KJamiFt
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh8izJ61IH
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLudg5IMXUA

I had so many mixed 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Al8aNmHHV
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaei9LCcTR
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxhGjBzufH
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZeZSoMyRO
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdaLdBKBu0

I could tell that the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRVTsHTpJf
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbqk6fju25
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcV8dHRzPu
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEARKtbeS7

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2bd0UAixL

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk0a5QlHBJ

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jgsxta6QY

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkyCFQkwM7

I folded my arms and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdTjGZdgsM
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQlsgUQ9bH
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78orZFFG5V

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyCLwquKMb

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhxVbxuQJD

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvfuHzC89q

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H5saohEU1

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt1dX2E0lX

I could feel the others 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4xyIHSMrR
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjILvi2YahP
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZtZIu44A0
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC1jkDiE9q
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJQAMJunxl
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQso7PdKTD

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PGDVNLB1B

"Okay." I nodded my head.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCDtEyNC0r

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr1A2Mj1bp
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6g1WY5xeh
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dbg1OXrpQ

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwYmeOiwGg

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNSYrksCxH

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlamO0WR0p

"Not until I hear what 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVwGeCwi19
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdRYFT3CZG
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OaJoaOp30
trying to calm down.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6PzCnMWbg

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fDS6oQFNG

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsyz7K1ZxH

"So that we could get 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKZYSRiw0v
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqXCgUCYLm
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PWU2RXH8z
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFrBpqweMU

"I agree with Sam," said1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgansnUd7Ni
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFN6ofyzeT
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUulHFbElQ

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90lBSWo0qG

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbazEvRjew1

The rest of the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ9wyv72qz
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRxNmSez22
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ9lVXeIYM
playing cards.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDowrS8jMl

I was leaning my chin on1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyZk45h8oL
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoCUhZpOph
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9jmAoyywd
especially to me.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwM98hP0fc

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpIt9scRSn

I suddenly sat upright 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ggh09PLrZ
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom60nzPGRL
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT2nYccXoc
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlNEd3Crej
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMameOaN0wV

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI6BWvR1fA

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmTqD25ouc

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxstYdBkBD3

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXcVXcJ4b8

"Maybe we can just order1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDP62r5T2O
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzTZ7SkVfY
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbBiKvZN5a

"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokvhzxrKg8

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYxQBUYv8v

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZyr3VrJsa

"I heard that Zoey and 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4jF8ZRjGB
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRadLbA3xdb
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbtD04yVWo

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRHURegLrj

"Then it's a good thing 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYgUqZLFLI
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQStauO9JaI
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9pwpPhNZu

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uGbkiLKuZ

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIG7vJDGBn

Everyone soon dropped 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tx3YJuiS8
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgkEE9jS5s
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn2mDJ7IJD

I had never eaten pizza 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXk5OZUAKN
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpznPDpXfF
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhhhE7ajcM

We were done finishing 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRVKAm266q
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1s5C1BAQN
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVtVouFRyR

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTDPXm7bCZ

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74wbc9u4Hi

We were huddled up on 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZabqxefPNY
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtohDHYpom
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKMWCDSMMU

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkFycCgzIe

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAexCMrNb2

"You lied? About what?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTAgWsIm0b

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSH8pSA5zk

"But why?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFgtYzmtg6

"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."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBfL1AEliv

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?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3OH1kad9O

I didn't expect Lee to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rre98iVj4
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n5tasPFyF
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUzO0IjvPP

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBozh0Xge7

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFAwgRQ1mM

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuNHqXMk5V

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfrJVtPjkF

I stood up from the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYziObsiMf
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZuNuV9KaJ
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtXUz22oEm
later.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ7rRnkTet

Trying to find the right1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj08ERdgIh
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOqLjBHVkg
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYqQ7Ggic0
what for, was the question in mind.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfoxJZzAdj

"Aren't you going to 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3nCfUw90P
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJbV2sNPiE
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyHZXhRchY

"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."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpri1g38sjF

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG4KVn80ae

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dHJQDa5zr

Lee went on to look at 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5KFU4Uymk
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo19IWzOfZz
just thought they might be arguing again."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg02BLXacj

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1JD0T9Gl1

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtTpwn8dm2

"I don't even know what 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY04wbMnsvH
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzBZJyQ3l5
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg3PdLKu48

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNDLTWOruU

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eIRMyCRl1

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DisJfh2US

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0QMlgD8hY

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzog8ql1UC

It only took five 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJNAVTkrI2
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFli64ewvuq
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdV02cOq13
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05jgLxtaAp

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJaR6wjl03

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9u0ItyCzF

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7EkyG7bqJ

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVgJJSdw1Q

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkTjOwC3zG

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtIHyJNliI

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKwVNNzsrv

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTNihS6IxY

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf6g9RJnLa

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbSVlejfso

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYbaQrfOCT

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hGtTrkieb

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QtJy20RbF

"Why did you this?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IPsjZQaTz

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAVjHdCKFe

"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."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGGBKixjbR

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui8rOrmzMz

"The instrumental is in 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP8WeXqOnX
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhTX8PnbXk
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEqTedsWQI
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLg72mtRcZ
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVY2rtVKKF
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnZi9AhI7a
pissed."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV7AuWcWaj

"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."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zJ0izulym

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkS7OD6YsY

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoDEyx5cZ1

I looked at Zoey and she1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh4TZ1o5hv
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYOqAeXg16
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bsnW1JP0J
was mad at me for.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXXvuSPi7u

"Now is not the right 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhdgXpOabW
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX00NT9Lmx
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnFzEOlGu3
understand.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVdYI9cwPW

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYGLKkfYPR
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHRE70fsCs
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehfh9UvSgX
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCCZLTX1cd

"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."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgeXGkxnUJ

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIal0WT3Nm

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTzZVvBU2a

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQKirLyUSp

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYataQQTZTo

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR1cPtk62u

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3qcNYB3SQ

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bg3Wg7u3m

I paused with my mouth 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkPFTtquN2
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05O9yjgMnE
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMZwyO1Bpf
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlySxuKV7GQ

I looked at G-Dragon and1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP2aDhEE3B
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnJWIIohzv
face wondering what he was thinking.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPln05yg0B

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWM7RrtXhn

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPokHdZgxX

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDVo9KbY0B

I smiled and Seungri 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPWH6afiCo
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkHahbwj9K
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDT6HGP2Cd
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8b0eA0ruC

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Be5Ku0Ss

I smiled a little more. 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3meGNEBcp
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4niEYPDHJa
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78Vx93Fnnn
were at war again.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvZEczd8tM

"But we can't start 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwfOZi9yVc
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9v1QaNPjM
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqPiAnjyw5

I sat upright and alert.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRmHDi5E2p
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj7l11c47M
have to record the track the day after?"1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsykJNuQH8

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoYGXWbK3K

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWlIHsJWb5

"But why didn't you tell1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUQ498u2MJ
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEBCHV42mg
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPrg9W5Aee

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjStcOsiW35

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBZtKYnRiA

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4jlB5PMgd

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlNA8wfk52

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ur88pCMG

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlnyjkA7QM

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNQ6WuIYA0

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsLTd5Jfv0

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvv4Y9HJ75

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDT3f5d9MU

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1VnrbaMYj

I turned to look at him 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvV1HM9FLA
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mcYS9ibCX
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpk8G3RDmN
me like that.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMPd3SKWdZ

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj2Wp5qWp5

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zb8nV9R1z

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Dlg2QcoT

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsFAVcE3lb

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpPZvuSqIz

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYpiPhm0jg

We looked at each other 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDduJoGkXuT
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbAQpZwNRz
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlORo3Ft0H
Maybe he also felt the same.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCricS0zIWL

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4Q0j0dtfI

I then realised that I 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhpTyMnLxe
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh2QYLGGhV
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnQZb7IPOC
another time.
