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 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbluCAplFm
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8EaiS9Ksj
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqDJs1HelN
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg1YueBkR3
bed.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfieKXGJJFY

I scratched my head as I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u73zuLCkl
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4CFuPyNev
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPtuktaQ65
he found me here.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpojdcdLLNA

I slowly stood up and I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W6WzD6ndF
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbXpr03YUh
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DCAXI8KIV
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLxEDdTYnl

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQHQEP7kZZ

I almost jumped in 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCbmPtzMs9
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmLHMFP5wS
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqwDo8i5Av
obviously reading the news online.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h1Ew0Homo

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPyFIprg7B

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ1g42Ww89

"'Don't tire yourself 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK9ABgOtOD
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo5AaSAFh4
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpW9wSWA42

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdUquEYfrp

"Oh, you were listening?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3lfTaBGmC

"Ya, you kept on playing1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k1XWVgV11
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zRZ268zrc
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO8CD0nsX8

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxvUJCrDNU

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCwyHNh4Mu

"For covering me with a blanket."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdUWiWwkGx

Collins looked at me 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUCfR31oa7
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRg5BSgDFM
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT9ETUcTYv

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJbsWcNNPk

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VBDkqoL3I

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr6TucB3IF

"Me too."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HAs32oxMC

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeUvv1jzKd

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvvFDgtZTM

"Going to take a shower," I said.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe55tmOqx2

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EbLMb6fN6

After I freshened myself1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFwUrRiNN0
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUImSfM0g8f
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9MeIZ2iXc
Collins was still on his tablet.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ303YK2w1gx

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwVdHa8zpC

"Nope. Just looking at 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCH2CJnHQX
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rf7fRSbYM
coming back late at night with the others."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66VYGpaPh2

"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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxonGs7enSq

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpwcJI2Uw2

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU2kAFkEEN

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAQ6HRv7i7

Collins handed his 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bDU9zAqYk
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLShTfNIR6
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPO8fITGI7
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTERrVkYCRf
having a great time.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpxLCyrLDx

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBhgHWLu9C

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYm6RMfWBN

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfItiJfzKt7

"They should have as 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC7FuO8H3L
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeRRmGT5HI
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyeYTxgNC2

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfvI06ueFK

"No, it's not about the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVjniFzZeH
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwh5vA6ghf
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjVesut0Ew

I looked at Lee who sat 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3JFtSJh6z
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1okEB6TCX
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Nhce9g9a
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0yZU8O0yK

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhLayLcjtv

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KTUgUmP2J

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06IPpKbyfN

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6hIvOwLPZ

"If I tell you, I'll 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh8wFmUnPi
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKZ1jLeLY4
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqWFMMriKW

Collins got up from his 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7FJZiDeZZ
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlhpNUspOE
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x5vKpHp6T
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYIPH4OFIy

"What do you know?" I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteqtQV55sn
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvpJ4x5DDC
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ATts61lMC
detective asking questions to a criminal.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdikjdNNSK

"I don't know," Lee 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMC8Wx6rxE
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC5arp6nJw
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJMLvtWi0N

I knew something was up 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr86fP0IH6
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g32p3eWn2
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYJQfVs4m6

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBHRmF3vOo

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm51wjpvJ69

"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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCtyb1xjMf

"Hey, what's wrong?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK1LQzYImO

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoNYjGJBum

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Umk1SqLm

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jnAGeReOE

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAtGX26zrL

"Well, kind of," I said 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19RF1jfv58
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLGyEuDlv7
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn74RvuwyEl

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7u9XJNz7S

"Okay."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ904TgktDTi

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPKffmXCFd

Lee, Collins and I soon 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtgdE2KCv1
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXfyjdzPhX
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrP04lUufy
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC2z8NR3eZ
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXhgCnqvCr
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVDmnkGJWU

I was waiting in th 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkJrrxxEmF
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9swHP5Iqy
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EjOc3JVTL
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJOzurTOXw
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFApalHMWrV

I was pacing up and down1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0PHGwvDOn
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSlrXhgT1Q
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CUyowWOwF
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4wX00wErA
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsgBQt08SP
and I was so nervous.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC4oky7GRB

"Here she is," said Lee,1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV5H3XYxYW
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYYXODJ897
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDZggGU5Yo
you, Tae."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGcdnBWOx9

I frowned at Lee and I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3uc8ZLzyV
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPwpgRK7Sf
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCd3Eh3E32
friend.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvBsWewcmj

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4pEpuMJES

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb1czGsK3L

"I told Taeyang that I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Y3ekfhVu
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKWBAUnlU0
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrHfqOYQP6

"Our manager called me 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCWUhicTGu
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbYDEOBJta
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ036vYyRacd
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiPuooWzru

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFM86Z2RkS

"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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnVekjnqWA

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3AIU5RSh1

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntaAFBtTdo

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rOsqDvT4Y

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49cKcwXXSZ

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq44oYpE6t

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxuS25QYCo

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0riovhUyz

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xAvcRCPm4

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LbTBNQAZi

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYNF957xQb

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVSkhBWroA

"Sure."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLCUaPcFKx

I gave Taeyang my 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0YAt2RPwN
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3QJJcfSOn
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtvhTxd6HY
cute together.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDuxfpT0Lh

"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."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik13yMRZe0

"Thanks. I was singing 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3erBEw8LJ
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIg6lYeukJ
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o3NDJ8WnU
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtgKU2qhYo

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWZOJ6B8mU

"Well...not really," I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRWhIe79uM
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iwrQFxIoS
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbHztPWTpy

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMNB0O6ri1

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1k2wdlmut

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXcQCiWzyp

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk362U3Tvi

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw0d6JbaJx

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8chvkDwy5

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVBqjyGYvC

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtRy46ZEZG

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BrWh6QNkg

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cumrze5RE

"Right now."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7J7NGqLYA

We all turned towards 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKsdkEMKz1
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsDBgeopkA
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY6ZJ4Ewdr

When everyone got 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlZtRAyZrm
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcpkOSi6rW
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq39s29moT
run out of the room.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMJ2rtHN9G

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQfT5t9cgP

I nodded my head and my 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8nPWrvxoV
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qBdSlHqOn
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zBGICg8n0
ever got to play it.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ia1yxnHHw

I felt a break of sweat 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t4M6FKBbH
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFkEbtiUXh
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFZ5PlOwoU
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy2LHwzV15
strung the strings on the guitar.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKhOAFornJ

I started to sing as I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx0ko1hEPQ
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7vt0DN9GT
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYYLljwy7S
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7TW4rBZlf
didn't. Well, I hope so.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJe2oeZz8l

As soon as I was done 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg7DQhkFN2
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj0b906SWD
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0UZ1Nuz8J
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDZpdITmaj
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV46SxjpS2T
hoped they liked it.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVYf5cE25K

The studio was still 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbPYdJxIXD
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZsa0FYEyN
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TdKlC9SUq
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc8Zy4SXv1

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmt5w9jhZk
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZnpUgL34y
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk0taFl9cg

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wQ1xMJJgy

This was it. The hammer 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGjVDVoj2r
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl79HYDvW5T
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI7uczBAEQ

"....incredible."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIQa00fYH4

I opened my eyes and I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07NjWaVyfR
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiXVvHA2JC
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmoNEc2Wxt
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lzjS2ekii
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0aH4rmrzf

"I've to admit, when 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qyBCclDlf
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iCrhRMn5G
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveXMe8Qafb

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIC3nFuAb8

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJgAFng8ne

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI8O0d4bEH

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWhv7bLfnv

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkzJZnxIi4

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQaOZ5gSOW

I couldn't stop smiling 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfZCq7UXtE
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenVMoNfLNr
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9nVUMjgfC
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pe9kzWLA8
good voice and a golden one.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uFg4y4r2X

Immediately our managers1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iB1lxlbad
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZrOC1Eyk7
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrRoJKcWWu
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1memyDZVaC
musical instruments.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qkTxJa78c

This was always the hard1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXbIM2aE7a
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiFsKVIgAp
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sn6YpJh7u
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDoAeroByf
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6LV5E3QAo

An hour had passed and I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoYHw9ADal
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8bW3ySJz4
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyIxF4VuZU
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7JANmFfkK
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVRVRTYjwz
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzVFWLZvvq

"It's been an hour and I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CBO3ErKWc
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvLui2BqZ4
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxby6ZBqOpF

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusVyhJ9DhN

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOSXIL448S

"Trust me, you're so 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEnQHeLPsM
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoVkpcX14v
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJZoo20EcG

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn7slX8MQc

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRG2EWHcG2

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV16xJrEfB8

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyFSKtgDD0

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5iZkKsp2O

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQV14Zs0L5

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14FllpfBUd

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFNUpcmP8r
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY18H5a0kmZ
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSMmtlfeAR
masseur."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA7Dr4XbkZ

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaavwenGpC1

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq7ceqahx4

The music producer soon 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO0Qzurujr
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8kbJzsRRl
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIunwUljXCY
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT59Yfsa6f1
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2UV20roML
recording the track.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmMGu88QYp

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoYyaXtKro

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn9gydlu0o

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGT39YVRWL

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKri5Q6ABes

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpL3cOXT3Y

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTGKY7EJbh

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEYNbwn7A3
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexeoYgz64F
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxdMHMJlft

"Let me guess, you're 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOWe3bskjt
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPntSNllsH
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXZIm1cr4y

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwKVCVHsTv

Something told me his 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zRSJbITBO
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPL2soKTBA
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMwvMYW7wl
always does.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6mqXhZVVv

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR7mMXfiM3

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1tKAkaPVP

It was late in the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJw3T1QHHU
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1bjmhx31F
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa7I7Jj8EJ
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbWQvIx8tu
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwLE34K68g

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBDR02ESMd

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspKN51OlVc

I looked beside him and I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31DEpMPXRT
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DrQLcmn87
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4HhZMUlpg
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7u6YHW73w
leaning my head on the console.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrDTDvwS8E

"I always hate this part1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuAyhgBeKh
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3uZ2JyMA4
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2mQdMF7jJ
console.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQYLU8yfZE

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fJ1kkZjYd

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc84vGn3YC9

"I wonder what time."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1z6EYJePg

"Wait." I pushed my head1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbIODhR0th
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lQiMEAqm2
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZwiVLHgPw
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxuN5p2kaP

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bKhTctVck

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhytXl440lr

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Fz5tLL2o

"I didn't sleep well 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXL9i2MsIc
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRediIJevz
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPv9GNwOQG

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPSmRYbIbo

"You're right." I soon 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6WZSAQjjw
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y2Z5djEwH
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBa7cJVKfB

"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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZxj4Q1obV

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YMBsdQVGc

"Alright. Thanks."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9U1DDJVL5

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuHteIiE8c

"And so will I," said Seungri.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi3xvHTZuS

"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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4otNSAc4V

Immediately I left the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXM9oLDRan
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfcUs0uf1M
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJM2iBnGy6

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRwpNuHHQZ

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxosjXXfVj

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLqC70gzkx

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZuaFlKOVj
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAvjGtw7Ws
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN8hLq0iBe

The next thing I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vqp1kku91
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybQLA8XMyk
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY7MWay8BA
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFRrEuO2ux

I woke up by the sound 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ5evpwct1
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaYhtU7OLR
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZoNLpWBN6
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhQNWDLxZy
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkjwU5s0RH

I reached out for the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRVScLvR87
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3EUnVvh2Z
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTNOEmmWV3
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9U7GIXGnq

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaPxg1mpQY

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiTh9AZRjI

"I could hear it ringing1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiujCwl5M2a
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyclQP6c1u5
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZzD6jXJqk

"Thanks," I said as I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Pu8Ol8aK
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6XHo5s5Lt
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs86qXFiSwl

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV9B0r3lHN

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNge8C31J1g

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzsqKj60X6

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbBafk6aka

Lee left the room and I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZLwCvOcbz
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrgQserabX
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YbzuOBiDX

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LPQvz687t

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlWMvVFJMz

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanOP1BhFLm

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0TlM7JjWw

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxEmsMFPUT

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmuCNqXokU

I dashed over to the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64REoK5abM
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfVEDFXHmW
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35MYcUHc3A

It was now 10 PM and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64XysytGaH
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaU9arGleN
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFisHk9OfO
they were right now.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh8Vl5RIJi

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPpwsYhaAM

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBiUiNJeca

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HrbbxBQYI

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BS3f2LTHp

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhvZJXn8W8

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYe0QY1Gr1

"True."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKRHhTAsf4

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8man69PiuZ

Two bell boys came out 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQicQJU9qyh
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkykcalM20
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10ast3ZHOP

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3owTK848X

There were so many gift 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeSmXtKtZH
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BA4umHH6o
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgQj4eVyZJ
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohLuyLwt11
so pissed.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNEWDLolWF

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhlxqwpvyH

"They are downstairs," he answered.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7iuA4SHW9

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHxi5sUT49

When the doors flew 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsZOB9caoG
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSUAfHLPtH
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi1JyuQKdd
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPcTgb7RDe

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVe4HFx0Nx

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ydq88sIxi

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDtclnJ8M5

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVsjrlpDTu

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NiMDpmiX7

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcsWt90DOC

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZvFu6P3Hd

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHNoMiQY4P

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZbCzCv5wu

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBC5SgFbrv

I raised an eyebrow. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs09seRxEmS
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihweAHt1Ak
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDvJQTrCMV

"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?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm37tzC2Lf

"Everyone just missed 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvITbqtNyG
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK65Z0doirj
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvJDoGGguA

I rolled my eyes at him,1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eJCBlHzV3
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgQcIdqTRT
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0JTGkRdhK
face when I hugged him.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ2Q25eIVO

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKEgjpw7LF

"Wait! You missed TOP 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ub7jKvKVQ
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Re5rNNwOq
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsGDHhuBOI

I always loved it when 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bNJIrbyLk
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8c1cDibaP
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNty8QHL4CO

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNOfqqLlYk

For a moment, that voice1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPxc0eY6jA
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVWEnU0uj0
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAAvt9dhDJ
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45eZUWbdIr
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nOiquz4dk
he was still acting the same way he had left.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kcgqv9BnE

I was really confused. I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvKZOXInC1
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h2rbfOBTn
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Aq9B4OaIR
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8E7ECZpIP
personal and it had to do with me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoltTaOUM3o

I had no other choice 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjMdNPgRLW
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9ZvBqR1j0
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH5ax7yQTP
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqm6HSRkuI

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn24XEK4UMV

By the look on his face,1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUp56OB8FY
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uXxlB64U7
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbrjxy3IN0
going to end pretty tonight.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih28U9bvXP

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WgkAhjtMM

"Ya, I did."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyxzpPRo78

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ921Ppz6TbD

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6voSD61uc

"Can't wait to hear it,"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsZ4xsCBtI
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7CtPUOBNm
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobyU9fZySf

"Anything for you, 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzZiLImCKP
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycSLQrPUek
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6ik5uAyoG
look at Zoey.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCB6lkYiG8

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsY2wy8sSB

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp11bO598l

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrM2IBzqzK

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqLjXgJB6k

"You know Collins is 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eY4nZMOGF
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNLiqO20Aq
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNEggZLQmB
floor.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8uvXMQYpw

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9EK2vr69t

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK44G9Kon6

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKLsAfeBq2

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEE8qH8mxR

"We better sort out all 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZG7Y1pBqV
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZyHvZP3iA
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY0J8ZCAr7
floor.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjvuN6aa76

Sorting out all the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlTbYtshCN
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGPwy0D77g
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzG31KrMPb
had really bought a lot of stuff.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DXOFWJzkq

The boys had brought a 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzvtALhDO7
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQQ1uJb71b
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfmUUvHKA6
expensive designer shoes.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIWrQkgBqz

As for Zoey and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW8RwStAy5
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVSezT4Y2w
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T7NPamyVO
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m5TfZdufg

"G-Dragon was helping me1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVoJoIAxOq
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHK2GY6a8P
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPru7DF2SK

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7jg43PMrm

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnVCBJDpdI

We were sitting on the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTUrs2k9mX
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUixdTmXQlI
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC657Bpgkso
stuff with Collins' too.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gRX1j3Ihu

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt8Wsc1AEv

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTYuSQrng1

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgIlDvdseG

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kfDpU09I2

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTcnFudbha

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Ktokp0LY

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRuYHhaQo8

I distributed the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiiqes0rGz
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNKoyhdwNi
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgddL2GNJQ
was meant for me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfoqeI2imZ

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadljuopd4j

"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."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLM8j0EHtr

"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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7mFlEc2ej

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL74MdnqNH

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1NiqrSE7C

For a moment, time 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa14ybkKRv
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqyRCLEkxa
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK6ZAdRv0t
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmlhrmXZ22
mess.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwymf6swqu2

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuidKmwCKwo

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGYcrgTgfF

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLwd7Biwuq

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9CEAh54dr

For me, it kind of felt 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi74q8XSbf
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccnenLsy3q
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaYvkLzP3a
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyItByj2wM

When Collins came to the1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI4BeDOmpB
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER1LETt0tU
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAYALhECUv
he just couldn't.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNWWWAUaD1

"Hey, Collins," I said.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVARdNM6bxV

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFNdcjuD01

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsqIv5XVDZ

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLz19j8QGM

"Thanks."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRt9VfoC0i

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal482L1GDT

"Who?" I asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpblMi9b2Km

"You know who I'm talking about."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJcpfVGgu9

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNqvRCPHck

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgVZqgO2XA

Collins went over to the1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMcQ8CDTJZ
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSITM90KZIt
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBTpSNUMDI
up at him.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ00tZI0WY

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDA4ppCRGS

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUda0C666F

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXuolryUlq

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6sHaNrd1u

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtcZWqxvFD

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F4745LnAX

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l3PgiRg6J

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6jopxlYvy

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgPv7ah0ul

"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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64FTLcpxAb

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgn4VrC7MA

"Here, we brought you an1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcjVsd8LW3
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeXBzgQnAQ
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUj3fKSQQR

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetvrtjT2Bg

"Thanks," said Collins, 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6rW7WuV5W
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauyAPxZXRK
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIytCCMkkhg

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlM4rHNBIn

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKQUPQ0mg2

Lee was right. Collins 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxCV38rhdY
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouh99vwXRc
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOGWNkGdHI
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQLSGWwecs
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlcbscl21s
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXpYzJL0Rb

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1v7N0Uk0b

We continued sorting out1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOPO1u5FGu
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9JsZEkCqi
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09aOj8IYzn
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrrW1A6bs2
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE64VOUvSs
already too late and we all needed to rest.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQXSWeKu4X

We hadn't managed to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj5fxUaiEW
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK8CxVp34n
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYseQfpr3F
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mk1EbQ3S2
course.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw8g8ZNw4A

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtFVTyn24y

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcmFQSG7wc

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZO9JEAPko

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUdPbiB8G7

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTi8XABUE3

I looked at her with an 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMD1PrZiHr
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiJYaEeE0n
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlM5KuEyOV

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJvXliMq7w

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJqOdFpGXW

"Fine?" I looked at 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSzDjcKjqd
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5iqzuPPs3
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lb6Gb0oL9
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG1ECoWGIn

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3CL1OWI5L

"Tell me, please!" I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX8HRz3ffH
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmKFNu98vW
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJvVfsyFgM
tell me something. So tell me!"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt79rv2ZGn

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb5tbHjMdE

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKVDfwuc0X

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqhY1GLPQ5

"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."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dur5hWT3N

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy41cRnMLP9

I felt really excited 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuNe9rLMgy
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWTtUbyCMB
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe6Iy3A94u

"I don't know how I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaxRJWyK4F
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfyBlep77C
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAN75s7S3B
Tower."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uN7N0vc1C

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz2kjRq8Kh
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ502aCkJXNw
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe7YDYlwPE

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4zdOCSMhj

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eX5gRNsTt

"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."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqE2U7iu3A

"What?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZM9fYMgt5

"When we got to the top 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdHWyHXLQS
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCua9w8QIF
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBzoqXjT2T
others had left and it was just GD and I."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkj49lHFe9

My eyes grew wide. I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHPu6ueJVS
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT2J7scUnO
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa3EgweCHW

"You two kissed."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm2NePPMeo

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLFZuOpGSq

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Qj8ZX3rc

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zwx7zTjC5

"Well, you were in one 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77kQl6R8lj
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt73rkhY8Ut
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceFVVrcLTi

"Smart."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn9Fcpd8hm

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzZe5IuItZ

Zoey smiled like a fool,1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqZT5Ohstg
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYL1zLegNN
it was so magical at the same time."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iBn31AbjV

I couldn't help but 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBgyilmaLF
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg6Ll0lxLI
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugrexV78Le
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpfKlA7gau
everyone at the prom.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG5A1wDWXC

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXOwabwBxu

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E4XI4fxQb

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjjrU2jhRb

"And? Anything else? 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAn7418uCD
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTPjT0vKgD
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPadAGg2WO

"When we were on top of 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygCCgDAji7
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcInxs2ZrK
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHUKfWhlAf

Well that's a bummer. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2sw0SrWHj
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIcgdrTRTZ
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl44zqSNGL
really liked Zoey and not me?1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMg8HbHBsz

I brushed that off. Why 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS7FwwvDfx
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy54LJdYcW
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxqVfnuUDj
hopes up with it.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82jKnyZLKH

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM27D2QTfs9

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMngmuNk7Kb

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvDE2CQw5W

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2augyqjpF

"Thanks, Sam."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBAgCap6FY

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa1RCSGraJ

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCGQqppj95

I left Mr Panda on the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z9j9F7nnZ
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cakBkAn0W
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiSS8TQ3p4
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8nrMLKMHx
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStL7QNiM6r

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWi6zFfpvk

"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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GbQxYMjtx

I laid my head on the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtgF06CJy7
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Qky3hjAN
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA2SupGLcP
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqeVRpEJr8
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R80NUceNO
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbzo7clXoQ
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tABm8o3W6
have been.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdEsNVXAl0

Zoey would have only 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Qhu6oyFO
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQe481OKj4
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXP1TlXlT1
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakC4e3u7ii

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC8mlRLps9

I pulled Mr Panda closer1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbrcOJiyA7
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb7VByXrIE
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiP3WqHpRH

***1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolCSlS5F0m

I was given a round of 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb9Id8alBp
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oARlPVA0S
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4RbMnFvji
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm57WTnRerE

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdOabxPGei

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FJOflDveC

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7LBbuHHO9

"Then you better eat 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JJnJXO9Mh
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM19R8puTJ
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkq1V3HnbG

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gT1HZyQyO

"I can't wait for us to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVP8sEvLOG
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0iwFzkU1o
beside me. I could only tell why.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZgV40Zt2A

Christine who sat 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuO24aFfM1
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUWiEAUY4i
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp1FN8JsUJ
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ290kSmlFih
and G-Dragon.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWGO3regJ9

When we were done 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhSdXOEl1V
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcnogDSxgD
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN0Hih5jRh

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbUWtLXHVT

"What is it, Zoey?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b62zWYA4H

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOASvUM7MkT

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T6QVlPEAX

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NPOllrJlM

"That's the problem," 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOPhcpn8cn
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCw3ER7QZb
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTzi9oJCl0
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXEyc8lsOL

Mike turned away and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRcMaWrHJ7
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD1TN74n3y
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkzotriWi0
something?1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPOUwUbHGW

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPa9m4KsNw

We agreed with Christine1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0TUs4jC0m
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x8VTsfM62
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQwf19k6eq
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw92vvENa5

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqV9jZ4bZb

"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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fK9VnoUMj

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYmmb4q8B4

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC3gIGPgr2

"I also feel like I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhwvK1e8Tf
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAlpXi4QXz
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCTqDY2ukC
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92CK1a068p

"Do you think we should 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcCd9RUdrz
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtLFkVriE4
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF84ScdCUK

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58neFwgds1

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjfHKseVbs

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjtwEpSIMZ

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsiEuHkjTQ

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBjNWi0Xho

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iKJKXdtCm

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyekIK35dkj

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4euBNb6kV2

I stood up from the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19fDNPEfbT
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ969uFMPHp5
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD9NLFQoTo
conversation.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByqw3gjkwP

When I went back, I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMxXJCZXuw
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K5qNWzMbg
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNYVT9GwqL
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgr25r6dx7

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBJQ83Gnv7

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4FQ16GZ67

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcszu5y2yZX

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFQ8J5X2hX

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuk66KIqjW

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXdOLaDrKP

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilBS0baa7d

G-Dragon gave me a weird1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB16JuuumKM
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3UZIFqGES
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQncTjH6dRC
took their place on the couch.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OWShrmy9u

"Christine and Daesung, I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBsLPWAiC8
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWlbRNfd0D
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFeHBjbzj1

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSCJA09BXB

"Ya, we will sing the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVay9YWTNmC
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAs1X0tN9i
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvIqsoYYVf
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBwLge66rl
producer has the lyrics printed out."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u87xVtJ86

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQv52C0E0R

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I1aHemKfM

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVI5VWdDEd

Then we all went over 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXH2WqaW0h
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeod7gl3wA
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu9qiCFISF

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlkOOteqYn

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7VLuXGQMr

"Me too," said TOP.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ebL7hPgcE

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7oSnkBdtu

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs8P1iOwsD

I didn't look up at him 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJNb5zXOAm
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEZPxlXcwx
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5EGPBbkXC
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjySLRZJv8

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWf52KQnkL

I started to relax my 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3e5pR2uWz
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzlLxnvVPG
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUobt1AwTmD

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYXjqlhMJc

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqipamrcHd8

G-Dragon came to sit 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIefiT0CWC
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8I9FOT8Cz
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjI8mNvsn8
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWMANflIbY
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm6bUKOXl0

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQgyTTR7pm

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVH1aI47dV

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE7QaFpLWW

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVakTk9BSnM

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhjSVlkEOb

"Really?" the music producer asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuzwVUOV1S

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MZPIXWNGt

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnakZPwgmJg

"Give him a chance, 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3irVutq7w
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv9SXHKlz3
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK0wep7sDX
headphones and put them on.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmMpueLB41

"Okay, this is 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKL9WSofLc
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToIInajiZe
join them and see what needs some changing."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMz66Cq6nf

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcp0R7NXOy

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTLk2kNWfl

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T7ZLEXg1P

The others looked at me 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsHrQz8GEI
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUORyHxAB4V
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ2w0xUopU

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ehdjIOrBp

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3TWx9Ntxd

"That's going to be a 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5MdF9RMed
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGum9SzHIoO
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIVWipn7Cf

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY6KJgfZgR

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TTJLSle1L

"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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsANrDUHCnR

I looked over at Zoey 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwC4LjLYKN
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA85C7Nj8tR
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5cWJCOGAY

I put a stool in front 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u5Niki2fJ
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOwbL1MbKU
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3i7PY98Kq
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejMNcEt2QM
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdJFzuzWMp
others.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17yBloPCpZ

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qUMjMM3kg

Taeyang and I sung the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktILCAlzFa
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyez5lo3bW4
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPB0Rm96Hx
great and everyone cheered.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi3P7bKuPK

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmZZHjeDw1

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogN8UvlsAL

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb0SGUZelk

TOP started to rap the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrGHapGBvz
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuE8PSJOyb
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNf7Fuibti
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh7L68wQmM

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T4JmaT8pZ

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6YbmUumUo

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfNFrUDlmC

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWSW0igAy4

Daniel and Seungri sung 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMO96DcQdw
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD0lZDFNrD
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMaaWZIB1e
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjk29J6Iwr
clapped for themselves and cheered.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqBPTUkl5r

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0jp53sf9o

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ZeFpBMvA

I almost fell off the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S7FfxxDw8
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08UDAoGGPT
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJdPqcYSHs
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0XbWEsrGf

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviytYC0zON

"I have to say, you all 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7PvCLhBhO
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8R4GkCb8U
smile. "Keep up the good work."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPSmZPngj1

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJDGcMh60q

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup0RsdWrDl

No one said anything. We1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxKKOdxXf3
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGxaTrrL4W
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuDs7hEJWo
talking.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDOOI5Fmig

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrKYNfDjmH

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ460Kxt7IDA

That, I couldn't answer.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuxgmaVVxO
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLpOfzSUcc
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr9qVFBo48

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ8ePqDgTH

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT1anNrdD2

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihHqFaJUPX

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyijwRX8nj

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VEcrG3ueR

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWkQF1pIcE

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F6iN3y2FU

"I want them back here 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKimJs3Ed0Z
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqIE7EwxUE
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT5Tt7Lna0

I gulped as I felt the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVacuMchxh
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhCag3XTdD
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlUquYx7BF
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoIduQZ65E

No one said anything 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO5U4w8Ycq
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MFvPzm4yK
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pV3TU645k

"Where could they have 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomA7SbO86l
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hnrbOPb5r
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIhUh4Y55I

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJp4LveR9G

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lhTKC7TJQ

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TYgfIgbGj

"Then we better start 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qp69EkbWf
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduT0gkQwZ7
looking for them will be difficult."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSZ0uGjPMD

We all agreed to split 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiJjwtCjgO
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVosmMgyzY
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYiuMddZK8
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3KCh7Hksx

All the studio rooms 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKL2jmhbQD
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJo6v3EKvu
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqfQKFeLj2

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrgeg3p0Yx

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSLD2urH54

"Almost fifteen minutes."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSCthwoLlC

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmUfWQRf0G

He nodded and pulled out1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaV6RTShrf
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrdJwXR3s4
walked out of it and came towards us.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqOawYRQRs

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLGILqIHQY

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGEXDweVsQ

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRYSLDDKTR

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr78JTUTbXr

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1lAkJqVEg

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6oEKjLnk3

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUqsAE0mPP

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JJTBJ5gLA

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q1aqXrewH

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3rO37aKf2

I hadn't said a word 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t4VUHgHrP
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr47ddcDaB
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gy28I9jEM
but worry.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsVFxXcZJ8

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvTJPVJPPC

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwbaiDTYI6

Daesung motioned his 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqJThAfQeL
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A1Rgvq6CO
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTusg1sFsYg

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFX9pkk2qw

Taeyang and the music 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zdKRKQ7jR
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU74cFWbA7
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszeiiJ0NSa
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsTjTYh7hB
and angry at the same time.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlISdiTEzZK

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Oe8ly8JDn

I looked over at Daesung1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXfFOUgaBU
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrPimzt1Dl
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL67j8Fsw1
the play button.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd14n4dqI1

***1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94hDjzb7mV

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlE2e82PjG

I came crushing back 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRQWW18XdY
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeT9GOocq9
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsAiu3NRuU

I had so many mixed 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZTnu2P9Kz
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG3Pjd0o4P
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtkzJpQHJA
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H1cZlGTXh
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNwPzCaydz

I could tell that the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3CZwEjDXJ
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlJcZgMr36
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ7ccGD6az
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKeXAgREbQ

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJN0VNo3O1

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqa8FOhhxe

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd21hVrViVv

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9IwPxJRwM

I folded my arms and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3DIJbR7Yx
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hffuJSPk7
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRPxloxLiC

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tlyg1RhRm

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGaaK5jw6J

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ELmDmstCd

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZSrClbeou

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw4SCprbHW

I could feel the others 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3pRuCk3oL
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQzJFC2JL7
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmOLHENEnB
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7NuG3gFbb
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeCBceLlEj
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyxojb8xVF

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHEyugoan7

"Okay." I nodded my head.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv2jIyLCdp

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTab2xEXCm
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTTYB971D4
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz2oYBtK4J

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxlHIJ2HhU

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYfgwOQCWr

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rf90v8ogP

"Not until I hear what 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDb7ExONC2
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8O5LpZfB4
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS0AY0Tzml
trying to calm down.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzcm62hH7Q

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2SuxlPBKh

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D1TnW6baQ

"So that we could get 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYwv00aJKz
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGGaMWdZFX
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdpDDhvFq0
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQbfqBvbkx

"I agree with Sam," said1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawulry2PMR
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45husLOPFG
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTaWdN1E32

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxsZXUym36

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Zh9jZKjc

The rest of the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G9JxsJT0K
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA2jk7RDLT
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa87z3tGG4
playing cards.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOrTZicCoV

I was leaning my chin on1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeVmbCk05w
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFBNBRARMV
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUsEhEYC1O
especially to me.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3hSR4Aukd

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f94pJZcns

I suddenly sat upright 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBISn0DcFo
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ju7OgsEZJ
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9AnvM3zXn
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M45zqMhUc
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHUj6HJfv7

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBHsmj0GIU

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeCbyUszCu

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOF6gUqYAV

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHS2fbom7l

"Maybe we can just order1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYEPQOmO27
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8DWiK1dXO
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEkG6tXSz9

"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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnURr7jqyp

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXFHR7VWGL

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiMa0uRJqD

"I heard that Zoey and 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmltgowxy1D
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VH20TUOfK
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ua8tcY0o

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFQurgqZ8S

"Then it's a good thing 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEbFzNNcc7
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDuJIkfwA2
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjCnQRJ8Jx

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrfT7vGLAm

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBp8GOUxJa

Everyone soon dropped 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNWxlQbA4C
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UPBa6tvzx
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJniZOlHnAW

I had never eaten pizza 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8bwqHAVMv
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cX2B86Izf
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iPte5kksp

We were done finishing 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc3lxhBQNy
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YxxHmumJA
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2eiQ5wkpN

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhChzSLQsXT

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jz4QKBsld

We were huddled up on 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nofOMzfVD
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3vmpBRsdL
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo4HWMDCOX

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJb6KUhXKr

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsA6ReSXFX

"You lied? About what?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11k6hWKTGA

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmK7Ou01tJ

"But why?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q4XgxeumW

"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."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPgZ1SA6yE

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?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn1yH7MTew

I didn't expect Lee to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0ES3c6RWu
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluiFuygevN
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHoF8vt7PO

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqKg4SbxzS

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozqPHW1yxW

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHgYqesRlZ

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYPYyTbfsR

I stood up from the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6t6t3np3e
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DeB13oxwv
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wy9GgpF2S
later.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLlsXYcE4Y

Trying to find the right1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR8q7OPC84
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0FQrHPujA
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9HX4bZxFi
what for, was the question in mind.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv31o8vYMd

"Aren't you going to 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsTHDZtP3j
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm2BaAVHJs
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6o9tcqC1R

"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."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkQBJbazIX

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCEHXwm6KE

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEfxeYIthT

Lee went on to look at 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG1nEuLh44
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrHgaxFb1j
just thought they might be arguing again."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5PBZy3OFR

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0WK92GzXq

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUd90l1E0R

"I don't even know what 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGW1YUbFzE
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkQzoZ6ZYW
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLzpZhqMbM

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnos5kSSVAa

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEHrj4YrDX

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0FqQzeoqc

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcFk5xKrOo

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdfkcXEhX6

It only took five 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRocCIROxb
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjqU0rbpW7
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ixXj2XjcW
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnXWJNQnlg

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZjFhNBQ1o

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLemlU0DS7

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDESePxG4zt

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzAUte9hQy

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ipFU2B0Y

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQuYC2zMy8

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbePSKCCef

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhUVC0i5vW

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNpYaiuofU

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgVX3sMUFD

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZX5Z0CXp7

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6FOnRupqk

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRb5dFUS93

"Why did you this?" I asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61DGOYxEhW

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UcbMpRfJE

"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."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYBxdtabzR

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoK02ezsMi

"The instrumental is in 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsm8SU8nKy
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0MppzihLU
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzZ3FVBrJn
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AFuoeIWn1
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWKQuMWYBc
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULL2WMVIzu
pissed."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiivNDlZ1d6

"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."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXrQZsxHAK

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pde15mWiU

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6mO0Lf6jU

I looked at Zoey and she1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF0PajTffn
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VEo5EVl5N
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AandAxxVS
was mad at me for.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTanYTiVNO

"Now is not the right 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ1Ps9U8I6
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaGdJCYEWk
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl8F4mw94D
understand.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWnbwACzbC

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj6oum7Kcc
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RlqDmMT80
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMowDWCtj4F
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3C2BQqoQi

"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."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhJpCeVM8F

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQnAOht5xf

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB35uiTg0f

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CVtG9zqPU

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfP5NLcIQK

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNBohMHA1k

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4lv9nNfI5

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuFiNdlsEN

I paused with my mouth 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokC5k9pbp1
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8hNByjPzc
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySxUyGvxQr
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJbGd6SuI2

I looked at G-Dragon and1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp0dNpmraY
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sGqrnYiq8
face wondering what he was thinking.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgz4Xeu9r6

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBSiBIwuyx

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvJPzPHoPd

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwQ6ABskS2

I smiled and Seungri 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbaKcKcUes
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC0NZy9HpT
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzWz2Izrgp
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzogWm6W1m

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mGMMj27Yh

I smiled a little more. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuWqREbYib
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDizAILwlL
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWwFkca7kD
were at war again.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NU2Ahmdsj

"But we can't start 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpn8if75cy
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdu4616MTi
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9k3hvt5ud

I sat upright and alert.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0HxFvnI0o
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqW2loeftO
have to record the track the day after?"1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5GC0s34mW

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYrJvbizua

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUyBbUbzQK

"But why didn't you tell1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkoXR2IbKW
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSwW4JqRcQ
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM2mdUuryu

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pzd50xmZD

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV1PBr5OVz

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQqQf6m5zB

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjdwK4zm20

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxAxjqrLW2

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoVImWWFfZ

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocGw4LTcE8

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS7TAvlNmU

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcF9uUvJ0r

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4hT8m6rpQ

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj4ezPtbIR

I turned to look at him 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpxLz6LmkY
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakopZ1qimE
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lncVjDkU2
me like that.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrv19J14Ce

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyynAAw9BFW

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n1j11I8MI

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvpV72vRlk

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFPCmVWpCV

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoadb8dVFRx

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKTNRpIg88

We looked at each other 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZpVbgnRlm
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tVBTZb4lp
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsQDTPM4Vr
Maybe he also felt the same.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbFe1MC0UC

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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHkbduz3hq

I then realised that I 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcBwWA57AO
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyVlhMfLdS
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB7u8BSNj7
another time.
