My body ached all over 1072Please respect copyright.PENANATGqJEryPiR
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6ENCa1Wl2m
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8PpZtrplp
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1072Please respect copyright.PENANASBHIw4fswn
bed.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEteG82Y9qO
I scratched my head as I1072Please respect copyright.PENANAESywGGh6hb
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1072Please respect copyright.PENANAj4vQkXtLL1
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMI0LyLZZ6W
he found me here.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAD2pvDtlBk2
I slowly stood up and I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANADQl1GslUVr
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdBLCxS5zW0
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1072Please respect copyright.PENANApL3wPf8cnS
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6kW4BHNzGO
"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANANTORm78J1y
I almost jumped in 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmOHFyWRcvI
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkonKOmwMVP
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYV8KmccOeE
obviously reading the news online.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbbXmVKfRJN
"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuOZKe81Uz4
"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJwU64iDDof
"'Don't tire yourself 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAw6BbJH03KH
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIubKEFiwdL
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhGI44R1iVU
"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWiJZwZQraX
"Oh, you were listening?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAShI5B4cpwc
"Ya, you kept on playing1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZDo1KGTZu5
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAs6NZvMwXuL
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAif2RBuodcC
"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ4llPqa00
"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkT1KeJyXiN
"For covering me with a blanket."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZmmVVpdEMQ
Collins looked at me 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyghof8QEA6
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1oNWEFgPI7
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1072Please respect copyright.PENANATfjtii3aiJ
"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFXeypG8l6O
"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcRTatBQ8B6
"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAp2etwXVAyT
"Me too."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZdXepfJkKk
"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMUkqPFrZmB
Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGfbktX0uJS
"Going to take a shower," I said.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAO97qHcfSPx
"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAA2v0dpAH0R
After I freshened myself1072Please respect copyright.PENANAROrvNiZD3h
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5eNkDLIK7w
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1072Please respect copyright.PENANAisn2ScBhGk
Collins was still on his tablet.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1ttCsUoX9N
"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAh2czyGNeUl
"Nope. Just looking at 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0YhBFD3T6V
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvDrEcIB7FR
coming back late at night with the others."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgWx8eMi7uJ
"Are they having a good time?" I got a slice of bread that laid on the middle of the table and was applying marmalade on it.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyGvEtsiIi5
"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJnWxY85ZEJ
"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4ktp5Op8RA
"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAoNcVr9Mj74
Collins handed his 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAscrtrv5CD4
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbtFd3SO5vr
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdp2WenCd5C
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkWnwbgl45K
having a great time.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1U8IP8mloh
"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUYwjggJttt
"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIA7cICntPi
I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASmjVSBALgm
"They should have as 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvOaulNTAaL
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtdbujgmflO
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIFq8F8atWw
"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAh9JyyhNYZs
"No, it's not about the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANArIMuPp7dyd
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1072Please respect copyright.PENANAm5ZTcTxz21
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAq1gVTsYpkg
I looked at Lee who sat 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhXy8PIEAsR
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5RCrAxv8is
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAl9MRXCpgIV
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAs0ykH5po7k
"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9XQCeqOYvn
"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbeDkyOphhl
I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA33OgzBWaNe
"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqYr7DwggLn
"If I tell you, I'll 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2E7aGfCh5D
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeQyqwxSI2N
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0PjAFTc7hR
Collins got up from his 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvuLaw0efLY
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWalIJ3lIMC
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAi8vqQcOzdr
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdHzPbZTHIV
"What do you know?" I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbyAo88ZoL3
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZtQseDGTk3
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1072Please respect copyright.PENANApd3CkHIwHC
detective asking questions to a criminal.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnK3TjSK6Nu
"I don't know," Lee 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEwVLH9YyL3
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANApqXiLgDJbG
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1072Please respect copyright.PENANArxwmTxjSSY
I knew something was up 1072Please respect copyright.PENANANwXRD6gqGK
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIa3G7BdPMl
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAD6irv0dY51
"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuv1FGPYeni
"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJXAZAVeWUD
"Well, hopefully." I blew out a puff of air and shook my head as I thought of what happened to G-Dragon and I yesterday.1072Please respect copyright.PENANACbr7ykLbVv
"Hey, what's wrong?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYVIyamZfea
"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbVRcRz7V6q
"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGOJ1yck7s6
"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8K51XYapyt
Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVIJ1gkkFDW
"Well, kind of," I said 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwYyi3Ije0H
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0OI6c93s7h
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhksXWdNag0
"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUpa4dvjvoV
"Okay."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvgxIMgw7qT
I was just done eating my breakfast when Collins came to tell us that it was time to go. I carried the guitar and my notebook.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUSPLsjB5e1
Lee, Collins and I soon 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVhX1gYqSVT
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1072Please respect copyright.PENANA79tHC52Imn
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1072Please respect copyright.PENANARAtm6brcDj
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkvxJXmersA
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1072Please respect copyright.PENANACNSy61TGSH
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYZihiV6aim
I was waiting in th 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAREo3kbSq2H
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYhsfvTNHTg
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKp4yHzQK3n
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAc1z3sjKn7Y
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGN1n9dfgpL
I was pacing up and down1072Please respect copyright.PENANAH57AYOI1j5
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAszGTI7rMUy
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAS5YGnTPQEe
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAiZHiaXLF6C
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOIAclftSLY
and I was so nervous.1072Please respect copyright.PENANALQVLYGjRS8
"Here she is," said Lee,1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXmHkRDZLJb
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAatmfOvGKGm
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAh8PsijAkCD
you, Tae."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcESj1LY20N
I frowned at Lee and I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5QlYpd9MAt
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1072Please respect copyright.PENANALoAp9V0pgH
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZuFNCllCn2
friend.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAi8t7Zwfaca
"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlpG8FANlg4
"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxDZEXJaWks
"I told Taeyang that I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWKbzpjX0Dh
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1072Please respect copyright.PENANArrnaAQCwff
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3btbR4FsXe
"Our manager called me 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyhteRk9Wsh
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKd7UFmqOcn
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6epqbNu79w
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA41vIaJ6tHA
"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuGOieMVL5c
"I'll go and check on the managers and see what's taking them so long," said Lee as she started to head out of the room.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmhxXOjJu9G
I wanted to call out to her and tell her to let it be. I didn't want our managers here just yet. But she had already left.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAc1qwiQ8oct
"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4J9FdZFQWF
"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAClSnrTTHJr
"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1072Please respect copyright.PENANANCcmUJEFj2
"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAd9VV2hHPtb
"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxxnroAuKyF
"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXiQgzAY3sv
"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzEgyi3ZjWR
"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1072Please respect copyright.PENANApRS2GsV8gE
"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMwIEfaVviS
"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAz2Edcnk33p
"Sure."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqp22MSxQui
I gave Taeyang my 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyIelF8vuB8
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvPLC4aMeIt
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAi722rgiyJT
cute together.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGirRulfI6H
"I can't wait for you to sing the song for us," said Hyo-rin as she looked at me. "The lyrics sound really good."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzAAC0PibEP
"Thanks. I was singing 1072Please respect copyright.PENANANeECaurHIB
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8EC7ibf3bx
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFaPhnYI99b
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1072Please respect copyright.PENANALTBI7ctohR
"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAojJpZ9GsIB
"Well...not really," I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFYzQeksCEt
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1072Please respect copyright.PENANA95KWVuo4qe
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1072Please respect copyright.PENANABhukXZpVYD
"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAv5bAj3sNnH
"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbQTdu4AALG
I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMSE1FVGQWV
The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANACaJIJI9l7o
"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASmqfrHLbPm
"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA63gcUC8clm
"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAA4hybZsJUq
"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqCUhrZhfBL
"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ1afe9PEY
Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAropaTOqpVV
"Right now."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8HBIUYSCaw
We all turned towards 1072Please respect copyright.PENANATx5Ax7TMbU
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOfUiS9KfZv
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZnpkXmZ1x
When everyone got 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQiStI0MdOs
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAr5RsGnnIeT
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAY43m7kegDH
run out of the room.1072Please respect copyright.PENANABugkifbPCv
"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmNcQ29JY8x
I nodded my head and my 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvBfa5E3sr0
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgVgdmH9hYx
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1072Please respect copyright.PENANABr4erBYheg
ever got to play it.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwhLh76qESA
I felt a break of sweat 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUkCRuFTPfZ
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEHRrwM3WpI
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAga7pNAFUQI
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1072Please respect copyright.PENANASOvqlmdoGI
strung the strings on the guitar.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVCFykeExSb
I started to sing as I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANArhpDwo7t1v
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1072Please respect copyright.PENANAP66A6bnXNR
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAivETTX7TYx
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAq7fZQgZJ0u
didn't. Well, I hope so.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmC6H3mpQCc
As soon as I was done 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIxpFfFSdQG
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXAmfVFEYUy
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwiTvJRe3OI
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZUTfdVp4Gq
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVHHU0avqAu
hoped they liked it.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwrLMtENCI8
The studio was still 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFLFssVzoTs
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAs6iPG7BfTB
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1latU7xFV6
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1gig9GWO64
Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0XQAZgIufQ
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1072Please respect copyright.PENANACgIbxe8PVY
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZvPH0uAoyZ
"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0qM9JCgf9x
This was it. The hammer 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAICQutb5T8N
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjWOEe1G29b
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaXVz6GfHsE
"....incredible."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAggTD81ZDBT
I opened my eyes and I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0hhy3LiKKE
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5e17NWQ8S4
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHKcCIiwdWd
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgRqvBFcbJX
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7UgrI0OFeI
"I've to admit, when 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZl9WJwjfxO
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6bKlyj1USj
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwcjh0pYt7V
"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcDDKzHZjXa
"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHNqZd2qAJo
"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKW6YyQCad5
"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7SFsWPyqwy
"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3Td2yPMJKZ
"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkAS9aZ2jnl
I couldn't stop smiling 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWDInDsJpYR
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1072Please respect copyright.PENANABJ1FQO50IM
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1072Please respect copyright.PENANABUoNI23JOa
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2SApezpbhO
good voice and a golden one.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9VANmhXuG5
Immediately our managers1072Please respect copyright.PENANAroWdQl4iby
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA864Y8enxb5
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1072Please respect copyright.PENANAA3FZTeTrPx
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4yU6dgTWy9
musical instruments.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEgpCiF6CYg
This was always the hard1072Please respect copyright.PENANAF9X6JDWHXg
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA15kRAPDkdF
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAF0UyKD75tX
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwpbD61U64r
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA80IeALjlO5
An hour had passed and I1072Please respect copyright.PENANAO2KXNxnWLk
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHBkE1CjjbQ
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEYtFIvz87F
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuYRNhruHgA
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuY7Fj27yL1
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGLmwF4RfyV
"It's been an hour and I1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXLkgtP6u58
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAPt1erFbcm
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4j9YmbpAyu
"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjHmb0GAV1q
"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlM7Uef4Bnt
"Trust me, you're so 1072Please respect copyright.PENANArTkDOJd9IZ
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANANxAvfE8TQS
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAN850HNnHMw
"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIJA2PrpyZQ
"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2LSOCFtQLb
"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWSGOjuFife
"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASQ6hV0Yete
"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjpkfX90vJy
"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAH7zOJuJRf7
"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuuFcPX0Wfc
"Mmmm." I murmured in 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAk4snK8Jjaf
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWqoq7bCKpe
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0fMqI79l2O
masseur."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvhGR08wC9x
"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbzpFbyYpAw
I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7m8oUQMfOG
The music producer soon 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2XBWE4g9Si
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwpeSWaehue
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtItwSyN3I4
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfWLP6rTJAI
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOXIAQ5TNTd
recording the track.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxD2M80AmBG
We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAb0oEN3mgQx
"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHyXCwWBsS8
"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPBYMyS0SBe
"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0yMcxRVE1q
"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1072Please respect copyright.PENANADaq2Ogm6QP
I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANA588zgNLHch
"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxbTMTuFXbB
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAakd7S6KINK
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA094vbaGt4c
"Let me guess, you're 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKgpoyiuAAv
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAu7Pi671yz1
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQLGlzIpaw0
"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3Njy1pNOAr
Something told me his 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVPqWbjhLDW
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhNGfBmUfL6
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlNwFDcoY4h
always does.1072Please respect copyright.PENANADDCmPQolS4
"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqzsgMlV8qg
"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9IYpx8HfM
It was late in the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMBxw6s1MIJ
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvaUYnCdHbl
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzAF8fcPqP2
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUqTtvIEWrM
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAi1u5fCpwIE
"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASyXUg6gbwT
"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7w0qoaUQ3T
I looked beside him and I1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0jkD4XFC52
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAe0Bw9Dnjuw
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAiTZoY3xaAJ
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlDWuqzkIvv
leaning my head on the console.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFaeRG1ZIww
"I always hate this part1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVC7N3IZylS
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1072Please respect copyright.PENANARCHaBRINZY
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAiqBfDMaeMv
console.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbbku7L9mdN
"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUmHN84V8Mk
"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgOkLRJyIUg
"I wonder what time."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAU4LuXxUVgr
"Wait." I pushed my head1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8YYAGxzeBd
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1072Please respect copyright.PENANANMFwZCcNgd
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAY8pL8FinOd
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA850EvMxjEH
"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASTL2CnhGFY
"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5aWeqvgXjL
"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaeYZEYQriP
"I didn't sleep well 1072Please respect copyright.PENANACXPQzGRaJC
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAA1101yvkT6
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAySsyla9AuA
"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQgf3yDvMcu
"You're right." I soon 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2qTZ6CYEwu
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKFgD69uo6f
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1072Please respect copyright.PENANALiS7UdHxlP
"He said they might come at nine in the evening," I said when I cut the call. I was so sleepy I felt like I couldn't stand up.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkV5LRJRQFK
"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAziGCf4dLVq
"Alright. Thanks."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAc1OMbihjRk
"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyi1gRaHsX5
"And so will I," said Seungri.1072Please respect copyright.PENANARxxZFRgFfm
"Guys, it's fine. Taeyang and Hyo-rin will take me," I said with a small smile on my face as I faced Seungri and Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3k2IdXLMLc
Immediately I left the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANASjn5YJUVQP
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAo1IoUdT4dh
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsOgiyFco1E
"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeEgHAJqGYL
"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAx6Noj9jhKK
"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsbT3I1hcbA
Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsMNPqtgxaZ
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1072Please respect copyright.PENANACnX4ndxhAi
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9Bxj2nQVF4
The next thing I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfXOP9WqyJW
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4POJfhEJn7
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8zlXYZ02JG
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAz4Fe3VNwAN
I woke up by the sound 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHk3EwjMYNt
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOMJvPdwZGI
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcD5br2V48I
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtLbKToLJtL
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuTwT9V3hm3
I reached out for the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHbQqFcZFpa
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4RfRTQIqNv
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUL3ATNm3PH
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1072Please respect copyright.PENANAoGsJdSrGpm
I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbyZ7L5dtu2
"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeQC1XkHgXn
"I could hear it ringing1072Please respect copyright.PENANAldUbAlWlwA
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWWj89PhxNC
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFSrPlsZDM3
"Thanks," I said as I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7wtsDWVDwc
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1072Please respect copyright.PENANABF3fvioSGe
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAX0QPXFzZjz
"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnxy3IUrqpJ
"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUL5M192aDU
"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKevY01Olk1
"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXx9S9JISnk
Lee left the room and I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANANxhRUAzOS0
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqid6tznU8S
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaeztedyVfe
"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyalt7IXlv0
"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAiqTi5HTuOj
I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0GeeoPPqyP
"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqdGwlLxhQ6
"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1kmIlz9pOl
"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhpY1fb0NnN
I dashed over to the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZO1JxGjMYa
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEbfQRdeiuS
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjw6A6A9OHw
It was now 10 PM and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANANOpXHqrliY
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1072Please respect copyright.PENANAt0b8MDnXl8
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhtZJMjBNqU
they were right now.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtKkqi2ZT03
"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAf4JEwfCQAb
"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1072Please respect copyright.PENANADj3zdlAjGp
"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1072Please respect copyright.PENANARH18m7ENb0
"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXc1NtcCX6f
"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFNmHLFh1f2
"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9CYhvwlG81
"True."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2PqfqBEfgm
We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqiZfz2elSo
Two bell boys came out 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAI771ZSw0B6
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfWiqcCUcNa
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAknP7ftN2UE
"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnUP2nT5laW
There were so many gift 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAoymJ9fADHW
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHGYSoqMbxe
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyKMJ1etcbF
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAK4GxyU1QTk
so pissed.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAB7uqFSCXeT
"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAds0ZIQWMhq
"They are downstairs," he answered.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfTyd9eXUsq
After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAACUULPJIpC
When the doors flew 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdxG0bFt0GV
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbrP8oNTget
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1072Please respect copyright.PENANAggrVSRp7vZ
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1072Please respect copyright.PENANARciyrSPQPS
"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANATLx7yAWwHL
"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4tgLwC0kiV
"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzrfxl2kvbq
As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1072Please respect copyright.PENANABUKju01bIt
"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAc9PWudVE1l
"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7SHLmfIJJw
"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3nULnv2xns
"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAarZTEhl1ZB
"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWNdGTNJYOC
Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcHg4nwGUGY
I raised an eyebrow. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAj22x70AmSe
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeSi1rKVRI5
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1072Please respect copyright.PENANAa7OG2U0Kzf
"Okay. Enough," I said as I shook off Zoey and Christine away from me. "Can someone please tell me why you're acting like this?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmxlT1KxJjq
"Everyone just missed 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIy3NSHreyo
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxmyWm2cvlR
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAiIV48QUJLl
I rolled my eyes at him,1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJtC7yFMgIE
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAB4bQLMUlKV
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxpvyrKPras
face when I hugged him.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7o0gqoB7Gj
"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXMmtaD4Bwv
"Wait! You missed TOP 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEvYTAAN20f
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3e1qSy10ud
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA32vHszOWCF
I always loved it when 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVKbgKRsvXh
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtYQZcskvpP
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsQnzBoj1Wh
"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAM1VB2fTvR6
For a moment, that voice1072Please respect copyright.PENANAiigJAjdOMz
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJ24e4fEmml
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIEvcfa1S4d
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEKddIZJ9qr
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlhO9W8zaLC
he was still acting the same way he had left.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOT2mYvzmu2
I was really confused. I1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ5rX5siKD
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1072Please respect copyright.PENANACxAyYcXily
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANALjMuPna6XS
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7yngz5NUcC
personal and it had to do with me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANApL7wicZHio
I had no other choice 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzc6OoREh9H
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFwfFWPuX7X
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ3if1Hr9H
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1072Please respect copyright.PENANARBz9bT8QZq
"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAT11fXe00bM
By the look on his face,1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsyZqOXwvcI
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHVPNSyLO6I
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwkIhJvqNdZ
going to end pretty tonight.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqm0XDo1uWz
"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxevIIJDInl
"Ya, I did."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAul14wXVIGg
"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJVKuJepdsH
"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEhlN9LTluA
"Can't wait to hear it,"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIybj8oiV8P
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1072Please respect copyright.PENANARMWGG5uDSk
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWTGDZrmA13
"Anything for you, 1072Please respect copyright.PENANALcGaCAHbTS
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgF2mMaSRAu
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHxX5yLso8K
look at Zoey.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAloH4nfHUrR
"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPWUh5fJmsx
"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdAHNLhBGil
"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA16KANdZi1B
After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAplugDaDocw
"You know Collins is 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOipaanV0Mk
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1072Please respect copyright.PENANANVLrdunOqJ
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAshaOE0GZAw
floor.1072Please respect copyright.PENANATkGElpxKzP
"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAu20ygCFVOK
"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAg9WBpacRL4
"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6AKJtXSS2m
I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbEvTFEmVtC
"We better sort out all 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfmCfvthPFm
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJUPyOtjxhP
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4wub5w8uqx
floor.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAy1tHloa7AW
Sorting out all the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANACuqOEL5r9o
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3m4wR3A5iW
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQDa4t0iKA8
had really bought a lot of stuff.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJMRyhyLloh
The boys had brought a 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAigywGuE6b8
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7dj91nEaNl
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAK8a1OBDOoC
expensive designer shoes.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeEI04AUehk
As for Zoey and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfyVFgbbeUS
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAH1mKg8Gnqv
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWDRTFkCkS3
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbpTrh2QVE6
"G-Dragon was helping me1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEAx8Zn8buQ
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZiJxXWtLds
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAl1yroSUlqE
"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAW2VzW2zHJi
"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5VfXu33Fd
We were sitting on the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjfipR8idHn
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUrQKiPpyyT
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1072Please respect copyright.PENANALWtFr0pJ7W
stuff with Collins' too.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3OmiLHEVvO
"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAo7hnFZeofK
I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaZfPqhYAoO
"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9QaNgl7Sr0
"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuLaAZ8Hlx8
"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMUWJ7tZ5my
"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8hrbeor625
"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1072Please respect copyright.PENANATHXzFu97P5
I distributed the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnyVqQsGQme
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIiFzpNst9M
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1072Please respect copyright.PENANATqin25C3Ec
was meant for me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANANYefWIvMuQ
"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAm84nZUsI8y
"Don't worry about it," I said as I walked over to her. "We will find it tomorrow. We can't go through all these right now."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJVxtuonVLS
"Ya, you're right," said Zoey. She had a gloomy look on her face. I could tell that she had bought that gift with lots of love.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgU3kZ3Ehs0
"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1oPxxENawu
When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtTfkLAiV4f
For a moment, time 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvCooK7eXWx
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnN0aab3s1N
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgJSh1rqw7v
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1QcWr7K8ZW
mess.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsbwcFAjPuc
"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGpsbs5dXES
"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANArnRtpzwkLJ
"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8zo3uWuXYU
"Hide," Zoey whispered.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnRb3zAhJz5
For me, it kind of felt 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvTify41YUb
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxgwPpAL67Q
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6K2RDHdqjj
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2obZ8q6pHV
When Collins came to the1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOH3aVuxBkv
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAimomgpnUIK
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyZkhQCACBk
he just couldn't.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEgYokxN57m
"Hey, Collins," I said.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUYW97XbvuD
"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkVH48yAtzg
"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPekYS1o2Vd
Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8GeNa4L8p
"Thanks."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7llqoSCeAO
"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5fG9BTuinK
"Who?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIt0oJAv0Gk
"You know who I'm talking about."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3Po1w2iYwN
"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnnseMeRdFG
"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUqgX3Mqlgq
Collins went over to the1072Please respect copyright.PENANAH2GaBE0NM2
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMibLer1TwV
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyOQq9PTwSR
up at him.1072Please respect copyright.PENANARsmB35Oa7d
"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAygTy2UzVAe
"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyEOHneCKs6
Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1072Please respect copyright.PENANABEyGMs6PGe
"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkJdEiQgbCm
"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6g62a4AYLK
"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuraNqcH0N7
"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIzXVDV0FBt
"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcVAEsxdND9
"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUMVX5Tb81m
"Ya, most of the stuff weren't bought by us, you know? If it came to the designer clothes, it was all from Chanel," said Zoey.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAp30tlqK0uE
"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA02BAunRtoR
"Here, we brought you an1072Please respect copyright.PENANAj18fQJBUxj
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeqptfadOi6
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1072Please respect copyright.PENANANxjgqZOfu5
"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYpknBMMp3O
"Thanks," said Collins, 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXb8vjuoPjE
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1072Please respect copyright.PENANAu1erwwyqVK
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgd3hWuDDZC
Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGR5BBcW0mz
"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAk36Cv4fFlb
Lee was right. Collins 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAs95riclPMi
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzHiDVrMU4v
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwvYbGIhjD8
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFgf1OODw8a
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAy6S59z24i9
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5wxlLwvfqo
"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQKWMz2c1A5
We continued sorting out1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZiP7giCZV9
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1072Please respect copyright.PENANANIkTdUYdro
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jg2ZCwycU
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYZUzOx0IXL
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIaHkzMJDfE
already too late and we all needed to rest.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXZMerVum12
We hadn't managed to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAY7R6wQ5ymr
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVpoPv1g5Ta
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3ng7blUhic
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1072Please respect copyright.PENANASG2ENkFB0b
course.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEqwbIpwEDU
When we were all done and had retired to our rooms, Zoey quickly pushed me into the room when I was just coming into the room.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwTQadmlrTZ
"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvxpBNTszEi
Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQq9uT9vRpo
"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANATRHtY4OzBo
"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJYjHrpikr9
I looked at her with an 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2QDz8x5sXz
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaqTx2tOyDX
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAihEZfMuPIf
"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvjlAKaW4OU
"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlBjYIQ5Qwb
"Fine?" I looked at 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAd4mbc7fJXl
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqbcHxJk8Au
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZx4czZ4kIr
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAc8y7w0LDgf
"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfc6vif0H1k
"Tell me, please!" I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvhnIhw5PQ4
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgnDgC2fCAe
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9FDBEw4bFJ
tell me something. So tell me!"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqlzxEyeRWA
"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3K8ZXTr3DN
"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjy7PuqzVvj
"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAP0cCxmPtrr
"Hello! Earth to Zoey!" I snapped my fingers in front of Zoey's face. "You look so lost. Please tell me what's bothering you."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXY9Ux4KS6t
Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlhNkNbbCE7
I felt really excited 1072Please respect copyright.PENANASS1wawf5vw
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA44mrbabsya
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMiVtlPQAwp
"I don't know how I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAigE3ag7hqC
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAXT9IOlNfN
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyt2IkBfqtk
Tower."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZsSvwbuwYI
"Ya, I saw the picture. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANArUA6auFpjS
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1Tg8fkks3Q
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAK370HZrxR9
"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAm2TdlkgRO8
"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzhGfzoHEuw
"So we got to the Tower and we were having a good time as usual." Zoey paused as she licked her lips. "Then something happened."1072Please respect copyright.PENANANNkO2HGX0O
"What?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANALrOIv2J94I
"When we got to the top 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlNzhCcln8x
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzYS2QCaTRx
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAf6iM5VTUij
others had left and it was just GD and I."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMKV1pu5Dho
My eyes grew wide. I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA69jaouXTB4
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUYpZd4il3X
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYcVEZ4JGfF
"You two kissed."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFWfZ101Bnx
"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlG6MqCAdBH
"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAucKxYMLEZJ
"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAN5EpGcSQMX
"Well, you were in one 1072Please respect copyright.PENANACyP8HP4Hdh
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1072Please respect copyright.PENANA832UCtsbSb
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtlRuzLMB3V
"Smart."1072Please respect copyright.PENANACSEOla5t1e
"Thanks. So, how was it?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANApVXNWj98xH
Zoey smiled like a fool,1072Please respect copyright.PENANAunhW0hJK1I
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAi0RX8nHbMD
it was so magical at the same time."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8baPwkPakV
I couldn't help but 1072Please respect copyright.PENANATlFyvb6lTq
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeNlSnredA8
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeHxq8UbbBO
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwHnJEZwPPC
everyone at the prom.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGY6RJBt65E
"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkr9jzjcpqK
"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOcsnHNOPfq
"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA56li1THG5r
"And? Anything else? 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvhuZUX8EbD
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1072Please respect copyright.PENANADblHqMJuwH
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxDuoiBn4eN
"When we were on top of 1072Please respect copyright.PENANApBxwkJRraH
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvFPf3MkO5k
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwTtjwKQrBr
Well that's a bummer. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlSfIP7vhBJ
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3NB8PqSv5c
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkrbo9owWpf
really liked Zoey and not me?1072Please respect copyright.PENANANxqPXUCW4X
I brushed that off. Why 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQiFEJH3C4z
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1072Please respect copyright.PENANA73qBqd182H
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbB0fhH8paI
hopes up with it.1072Please respect copyright.PENANALcYP2O6K5j
"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAObKnj1oOjU
"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKrHgONUTMK
"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAS0zHdEjUl3
"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0a0rYjJdxR
"Thanks, Sam."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0iEARYnSIp
"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFW2v4fPm7q
"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAY0egIipTrc
I left Mr Panda on the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA76sciE4fDd
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKdbuhCvIDI
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1072Please respect copyright.PENANAU5VIgpZ59n
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3sc3aXfMcJ
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9NuY6LVlUE
"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1072Please respect copyright.PENANALbhjVVxpLh
"Good night," she replied. She turned to the other side to flip the switch beside the bed on the wall and the room went dark.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHsRTU5jZDm
I laid my head on the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbTVQ617GCz
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxaH6Hdk6vs
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAB1V4b0Wmp2
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1072Please respect copyright.PENANALD3l5pP96V
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1072Please respect copyright.PENANA125GSEox5B
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4z6AthTBH5
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAH1XuOmlB6s
have been.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAxEBh9Bppe
Zoey would have only 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAA87Eq3yC5R
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgkJLoQdPWX
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEXdb0PNM91
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5dv5NAmVxO
To be honest, I was happy for Zoey. And when I heard her giggling again, I realised that I wouldn't want to hurt her.1072Please respect copyright.PENANApwH2XSe1Nu
I pulled Mr Panda closer1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4wCVDj9kp
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKrMT9GDsZC
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAF3kVcsu3SQ
***1072Please respect copyright.PENANApSXBCHRUnn
I was given a round of 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuuuXPuf8ok
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcLcokH6DdN
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdcmKkHrfYx
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2sB3mRiLPI
"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAT2Dms2JQaZ
"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.PENANABWsiPwbDBy
"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9kiDMd3gXC
"Then you better eat 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtVKMjXNF8D
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAG4IlYBVVam
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxI0gWvFr3g
We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0mKh9xXxF8
"I can't wait for us to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAa7Ohlig7kG
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuoY3lCo3SF
beside me. I could only tell why.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4U2WmTVhd9
Christine who sat 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAntrG3AVfGY
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0Jdwzjh8dZ
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9aYbiBaBRk
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmxevWghOsk
and G-Dragon.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGPuNlwluHk
When we were done 1072Please respect copyright.PENANArDUwjHa0aP
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1072Please respect copyright.PENANArfdH34c1Bn
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqLE244tl2h
"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1072Please respect copyright.PENANALKJUrabJGD
"What is it, Zoey?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYfNdVS8sGk
"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYlIrAaKdnO
Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1072Please respect copyright.PENANANaqYROtSvf
"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8OQlCiXYI0
"That's the problem," 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYIOtNxjdpD
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAH2WyKJRkoT
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAktYtJJbD3
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAl2TnfgpTsr
Mike turned away and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANACRqAZsFJaa
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZkJdtYvQVf
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6nO4V4OLXE
something?1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2QoxeqzpiP
"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8R2CLB7Ej4
We agreed with Christine1072Please respect copyright.PENANABYRTrcMK1k
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1vGTWYxsR
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWPNLCV7duq
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1072Please respect copyright.PENANARqtDJtFZUq
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVk4YqfTmJs
"Hey, how are you," said G-Dragon as he came and gave her a hug. I bypassed them heading to the couch sitting next to Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbLlv2raz72
"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwzSYhq2J0P
"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7vqsdaUxe5
"I also feel like I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwy2KvLK8NF
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmoba6QTxUF
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5tXJQ7f0rL
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeefoujft1o
"Do you think we should 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhczubT4S4m
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmIspqqSQ2C
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAM3vWvcXbea
"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyIlBVsA3f5
"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA13iwQygWZu
"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbqhj0l8yDY
"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANApcTcBGCQCE
I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOl9UwN5wx6
"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8huLg9PXTj
"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeySSGbeBhU
Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASZHSlA5Mzr
I stood up from the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhFd4nTfDra
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuLwcXdUCFj
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAR5r29jMc4j
conversation.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVPgrYj9I2q
When I went back, I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0evNSmL0tm
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZBJAFqQ2R
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMkx13haTsn
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjJZJZeEr80
"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaubkmQaJ8D
"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1072Please respect copyright.PENANArMxbxayOLR
"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVaWXH2WaMS
"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJ71yLjhVgr
"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMOsn0hTeln
"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGZJz0NCvZf
"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqTNGWARY5f
G-Dragon gave me a weird1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHAKd97HPmT
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKUkXMtzq6i
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA08h2XdG4rb
took their place on the couch.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAO2rla6D3V7
"Christine and Daesung, I1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdbifOcYSq7
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1072Please respect copyright.PENANATggQXNmb38
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnli2JOHaoD
"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOiVUqt5s0b
"Ya, we will sing the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9W633b8NEq
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAl3xY8400WT
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAU9OJLKiBUH
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAstpxHIM9P6
producer has the lyrics printed out."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6sTe8g9NoY
"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANArBu590JyV9
I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1072Please respect copyright.PENANArZpuRxBT1r
Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASYAy3g3bO8
Then we all went over 1072Please respect copyright.PENANApgbx9SOFTU
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyvByT0L2Ec
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhFGIFqnS07
"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUSnDiReMH4
"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsM74VBv0My
"Me too," said TOP.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKS1NWyIDDX
"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkTWlTOlZZB
"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYBnT7LI87V
I didn't look up at him 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8iXvyPSDI
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1072Please respect copyright.PENANApaArKZlyAb
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASckOv4G3qC
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmEDXOFSKRN
"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANADc8gt3jA7G
I started to relax my 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAymRZxiOSme
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAa6IfqOseFu
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqmf4KdLjhR
"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3qCpLG0BGk
"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1072Please respect copyright.PENANADOo8VXVrpA
G-Dragon came to sit 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIyCvxroA9h
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAapM2TrAazC
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkUmhpeAVgg
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1072Please respect copyright.PENANADfsezHZECA
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1072Please respect copyright.PENANAburqIh2twS
"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVpJ5jzkJ42
"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfexIsUpsm5
G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnOePZvJM2v
"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANABCLwT4fFaa
"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAy4nEB8qmWf
"Really?" the music producer asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAt6UB8HX8ug
"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgZtq3oUp1k
"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAih3NKtCI8f
"Give him a chance, 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAka7cvHtQqC
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPbDq4WEqAL
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAF0dhID3oN
headphones and put them on.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9cuKZBzXBg
"Okay, this is 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFAa5RYPX0m
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ4bI16lce
join them and see what needs some changing."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuXYBdr1oNb
I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAs1YdlFt66A
"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhP2z2BDGiE
"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA2x90UJEVXP
The others looked at me 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAg7ciPTCLyM
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1072Please respect copyright.PENANADWQEUnCurs
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMbh9MnY9Zc
"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYvnnWljKDu
"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAztVTGYIyCX
"That's going to be a 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhfPZ9E5YSg
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqpvatWVIDF
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9kO4NvVNIV
"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJHPJEDjNlg
Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0vxpvT8BmG
"Okay let's go through the song," I said as everyone nodded their heads and sat on the couch and I went over to get the guitar.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA174Hc9SlYA
I looked over at Zoey 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUBLm3POde0
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOz9JDikdxD
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9Iyfl00yKH
I put a stool in front 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXApIAxLWaq
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaoYWmJbIwx
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwn8N3KXpLl
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqqTsrFqEvS
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyM5G4SBdVo
others.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzst5xt8BvX
"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASFon55lPZ0
Taeyang and I sung the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAemFMdXYT8S
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyrMBpTRpDM
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1072Please respect copyright.PENANAY7PntTP9aj
great and everyone cheered.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjwn2bpRu0X
"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAq4ccgN5i4O
"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeCvUsDddN4
"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5sfbrUaA70
TOP started to rap the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcsXmApySEZ
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKl1ZS5aSMf
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnve6auUSLP
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbjuC0lVSRz
Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzIt6w8K45h
"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAogT51uBjRt
"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5Iba0vveTV
"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcvJgRxddHb
Daniel and Seungri sung 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5kJrEBt4dv
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMvIQ540O8w
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA37iN6A5Dzb
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1072Please respect copyright.PENANANEzS4clD3L
clapped for themselves and cheered.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGdjoE8zJcz
"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUyxPt1799D
"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzeMI8T4t5A
I almost fell off the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ1i69Derw
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAC9lfuPEThu
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkxflpO8hTe
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAc6BWizCauL
We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcBLtieMiMe
"I have to say, you all 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA78FRUaiylk
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1072Please respect copyright.PENANA01gygOoG2C
smile. "Keep up the good work."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjhicQqm1tY
"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAg7rnwqfqVA
"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAoVVtHbUKIB
No one said anything. We1072Please respect copyright.PENANAubnl7LuDgk
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAD3BVXMMub8
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYR7oFdF0I9
talking.1072Please respect copyright.PENANALEwRSjJeH6
"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdNKsfCgxNw
"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAy54jJBuQGu
That, I couldn't answer.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASUiouzUcFU
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1072Please respect copyright.PENANANBakO2AVdd
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUyKy8qGZpQ
"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6h1nmhSXFr
"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgi33SL9gjE
"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8GVufBDJj4
"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1072Please respect copyright.PENANADXoKy2T4OZ
"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAD6JcS9CmG4
"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAi8vjjz84lK
The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzTw4Zbb500
"I want them back here 1072Please respect copyright.PENANALL16r29WVD
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANATLVJVrBlAA
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAthBhePIIc
I gulped as I felt the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAc14oB6jzOm
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsy4LYUWXWI
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbPOH7xSNwl
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1072Please respect copyright.PENANANCeXvKbRjd
No one said anything 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAosneGPCuEr
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3uzaXvdOhm
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQQtMCuKoPU
"Where could they have 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7jG1TfowbW
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAv0E3PjFYEB
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1072Please respect copyright.PENANARzGswnLr58
"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAneT0vlID5f
"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAn6Dyd2zx3W
"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJyIWfDpmty
"Then we better start 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAP45UwSwNoy
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIomuZoKMZC
looking for them will be difficult."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjbiAjjgKgE
We all agreed to split 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAl1Oi8OYcwK
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjHgO4xnARs
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4qf1ouGnlL
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEKD6DbFZZD
All the studio rooms 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPqGmSAT5CV
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANADyTulxXCLI
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcinpyds1xd
"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaayWhZvqVN
I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAC6O0Nn1pGG
"Almost fifteen minutes."1072Please respect copyright.PENANASd3cGcYMi3
"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1IWWtK0AS6
He nodded and pulled out1072Please respect copyright.PENANALOndvw4UH2
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4PLHna3Hnp
walked out of it and came towards us.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlBitSFjCtb
"Anything?" Daniel asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVQtlyNl2j4
"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAW8ta2W0var
"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkb9iqFoZs5
"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA26Tjio78GQ
I looked at the time on my watch. We only had fifteen minutes and Yang Hyun-suk was going to kill us all if we didn't find them.1072Please respect copyright.PENANApgjVMYDYAv
"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXHKjXf6gRS
"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0stXkm7wmo
"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAoXNmShGPqn
"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6tdj9Jt6FH
"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWA1DWlKypg
I hadn't said a word 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmQNW2sLxqq
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAckOyiXBUj7
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1072Please respect copyright.PENANATf2hNlEtLZ
but worry.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsmfPqxPfZh
"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEkXq48sOXr
"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFMWs4gzCkr
Daesung motioned his 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAopp93S9IDK
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1072Please respect copyright.PENANANnQMR3tsGc
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9jji4Zcolh
"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgh76455Lff
Taeyang and the music 1072Please respect copyright.PENANArnWiC32wVu
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPnpTFRlsiV
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAeq7Gd5OEYt
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAegSBBxi44N
and angry at the same time.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlRyr3FEBfg
"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4JiObFZncm
I looked over at Daesung1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6o8eeHvRQI
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4X43orgXYK
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1072Please respect copyright.PENANALNCgRzLmOQ
the play button.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMFrJ1G4rj1
***1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwejPhXJSjo
"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1072Please respect copyright.PENANABdLcsx4erk
I came crushing back 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA581KJamiFt
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnh8izJ61IH
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1072Please respect copyright.PENANALudg5IMXUA
I had so many mixed 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6Al8aNmHHV
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhaei9LCcTR
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVxhGjBzufH
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtZeZSoMyRO
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1072Please respect copyright.PENANATdaLdBKBu0
I could tell that the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANALRVTsHTpJf
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqbqk6fju25
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlcV8dHRzPu
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKEARKtbeS7
"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAh2bd0UAixL
"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1072Please respect copyright.PENANATk0a5QlHBJ
"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7jgsxta6QY
"They went out without taking you guys along?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANATkyCFQkwM7
I folded my arms and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJdTjGZdgsM
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlQlsgUQ9bH
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA78orZFFG5V
"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1072Please respect copyright.PENANANyCLwquKMb
"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANABhxVbxuQJD
I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAvfuHzC89q
"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6H5saohEU1
"No, we haven't heard it yet."1072Please respect copyright.PENANADt1dX2E0lX
I could feel the others 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAP4xyIHSMrR
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjILvi2YahP
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOZtZIu44A0
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1072Please respect copyright.PENANANC1jkDiE9q
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjJQAMJunxl
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1072Please respect copyright.PENANADQso7PdKTD
"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3PGDVNLB1B
"Okay." I nodded my head.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHCDtEyNC0r
When Yang Hyun-suk left,1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJr1A2Mj1bp
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAa6g1WY5xeh
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6dbg1OXrpQ
"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1072Please respect copyright.PENANACwYmeOiwGg
"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwNSYrksCxH
"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1072Please respect copyright.PENANADlamO0WR0p
"Not until I hear what 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAoVwGeCwi19
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgdRYFT3CZG
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0OaJoaOp30
trying to calm down.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAV6PzCnMWbg
"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5fDS6oQFNG
"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjsyz7K1ZxH
"So that we could get 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIKZYSRiw0v
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxqXCgUCYLm
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7PWU2RXH8z
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqFrBpqweMU
"I agree with Sam," said1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgansnUd7Ni
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1072Please respect copyright.PENANADFN6ofyzeT
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkUulHFbElQ
"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA90lBSWo0qG
"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbazEvRjew1
The rest of the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ9wyv72qz
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAiRxNmSez22
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIZ9lVXeIYM
playing cards.1072Please respect copyright.PENANApDowrS8jMl
I was leaning my chin on1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsyZk45h8oL
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1072Please respect copyright.PENANALoCUhZpOph
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAN9jmAoyywd
especially to me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGwM98hP0fc
Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIpIt9scRSn
I suddenly sat upright 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5ggh09PLrZ
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAom60nzPGRL
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnT2nYccXoc
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjlNEd3Crej
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMameOaN0wV
"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYI6BWvR1fA
"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkmTqD25ouc
"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxstYdBkBD3
"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsXcVXcJ4b8
"Maybe we can just order1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZDP62r5T2O
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1072Please respect copyright.PENANASzTZ7SkVfY
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1072Please respect copyright.PENANADbBiKvZN5a
"Good idea," said TOP. "Let me tell her right now." He pulled out his phone and just when he was about to call, Lee came in.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAokvhzxrKg8
"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQYxQBUYv8v
"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtZyr3VrJsa
"I heard that Zoey and 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAg4jF8ZRjGB
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1072Please respect copyright.PENANARadLbA3xdb
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAbtD04yVWo
"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAmRHURegLrj
"Then it's a good thing 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZYgUqZLFLI
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQStauO9JaI
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAC9pwpPhNZu
Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA5uGbkiLKuZ
"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAkIG7vJDGBn
Everyone soon dropped 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3tx3YJuiS8
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOgkEE9jS5s
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFn2mDJ7IJD
I had never eaten pizza 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZXk5OZUAKN
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWpznPDpXfF
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQhhhE7ajcM
We were done finishing 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKRVKAm266q
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAi1s5C1BAQN
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJVtVouFRyR
"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvTDPXm7bCZ
"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA74wbc9u4Hi
We were huddled up on 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZabqxefPNY
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1072Please respect copyright.PENANABtohDHYpom
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1072Please respect copyright.PENANApKMWCDSMMU
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASkFycCgzIe
"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKAexCMrNb2
"You lied? About what?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANADTAgWsIm0b
"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlSH8pSA5zk
"But why?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjFgtYzmtg6
"Because, I had no choice. I want to know why GD did this. It's best we know and see how we can move forward."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFBfL1AEliv
I finished my slice of pizza and licked my fingers when Lee asked, "don't you think he just did that to get back at you, Sam?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAh3OH1kad9O
I didn't expect Lee to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6Rre98iVj4
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4n5tasPFyF
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdUzO0IjvPP
"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAzBozh0Xge7
"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHFAwgRQ1mM
I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfuNHqXMk5V
"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKfrJVtPjkF
I stood up from the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANATYziObsiMf
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHZuNuV9KaJ
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFtXUz22oEm
later.1072Please respect copyright.PENANANQ7rRnkTet
Trying to find the right1072Please respect copyright.PENANASj08ERdgIh
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZOqLjBHVkg
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcYqQ7Ggic0
what for, was the question in mind.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqfoxJZzAdj
"Aren't you going to 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAt3nCfUw90P
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxJbV2sNPiE
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXyHZXhRchY
"I doubt it," said TOP. "I was here with them when they were writing the lyrics and the two of them looked fine to me."1072Please respect copyright.PENANApri1g38sjF
"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaG4KVn80ae
I looked at Lee and she was looking back at me with a scared look on her face. Using my eyes, I told her not to say a word.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA7dHJQDa5zr
Lee went on to look at 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAR5KFU4Uymk
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAo19IWzOfZz
just thought they might be arguing again."1072Please respect copyright.PENANACg02BLXacj
"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAf1JD0T9Gl1
"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEtTpwn8dm2
"I don't even know what 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAY04wbMnsvH
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAwzBZJyQ3l5
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAdg3PdLKu48
"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAcNDLTWOruU
No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1eIRMyCRl1
"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA0DisJfh2US
"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAU0QMlgD8hY
Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtzog8ql1UC
It only took five 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHJNAVTkrI2
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFli64ewvuq
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZdV02cOq13
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA05jgLxtaAp
"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHJaR6wjl03
When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAm9u0ItyCzF
Still, no one said anything. It looked like no one was ready to throw the dice first. I cleared my throat and looked at Lee.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7EkyG7bqJ
"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyVgJJSdw1Q
"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjkTjOwC3zG
"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYtIHyJNliI
"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1072Please respect copyright.PENANANKwVNNzsrv
"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANARTNihS6IxY
"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAIf6g9RJnLa
"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqbSVlejfso
"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1072Please respect copyright.PENANARYbaQrfOCT
I tried to keep my tone down and my anger in check but I was boiling inside. Any minute now, I might just blow my head off.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA3hGtTrkieb
I was expecting an answer from G-Dragon but all he did was look at me. I kept on coming closer, my eyes not leaving his.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA9QtJy20RbF
"Why did you this?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA6IPsjZQaTz
"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuAVjHdCKFe
"If you didn't like it, you should have just said so and all of us together would have figured something out. Not what you did."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhGGBKixjbR
When I got closer to them, I took out the USB drive from my pocket. I took G-Dragon's right hand and placed it in his open palm.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAui8rOrmzMz
"The instrumental is in 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAoP8WeXqOnX
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqhTX8PnbXk
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGEqTedsWQI
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvLg72mtRcZ
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMVY2rtVKKF
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUnZi9AhI7a
pissed."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUV7AuWcWaj
"Wait, a minute," said Taeyang as he came up right behind me. "He first has to tell us what's happening between the two of you."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA1zJ0izulym
"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMkS7OD6YsY
"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANApoDEyx5cZ1
I looked at Zoey and she1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvh4TZ1o5hv
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAbYOqAeXg16
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4bsnW1JP0J
was mad at me for.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAgXXvuSPi7u
"Now is not the right 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAhdgXpOabW
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQX00NT9Lmx
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1072Please respect copyright.PENANASnFzEOlGu3
understand.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAFVdYI9cwPW
Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsYGLKkfYPR
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1072Please respect copyright.PENANATHRE70fsCs
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAehfh9UvSgX
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvCCZLTX1cd
"It's about time you guys got here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned towards Zoey and G-Dragon. "Hope you had a perfect lunch."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtgeXGkxnUJ
I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAAIal0WT3Nm
"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVTzZVvBU2a
Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAaQKirLyUSp
"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAYataQQTZTo
"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAhR1cPtk62u
"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAS3qcNYB3SQ
"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bg3Wg7u3m
I paused with my mouth 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAqkPFTtquN2
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA05O9yjgMnE
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1072Please respect copyright.PENANAQMZwyO1Bpf
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAlySxuKV7GQ
I looked at G-Dragon and1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuP2aDhEE3B
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1072Please respect copyright.PENANAfnJWIIohzv
face wondering what he was thinking.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvPln05yg0B
"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAJWM7RrtXhn
"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAoPokHdZgxX
"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAoDVo9KbY0B
I smiled and Seungri 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVPWH6afiCo
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAZkHahbwj9K
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1072Please respect copyright.PENANAWDT6HGP2Cd
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAE8b0eA0ruC
"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1072Please respect copyright.PENANA25Be5Ku0Ss
I smiled a little more. 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAa3meGNEBcp
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4niEYPDHJa
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA78Vx93Fnnn
were at war again.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAuvZEczd8tM
"But we can't start 1072Please respect copyright.PENANALwfOZi9yVc
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAK9v1QaNPjM
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1072Please respect copyright.PENANApqPiAnjyw5
I sat upright and alert.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAoRmHDi5E2p
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtj7l11c47M
have to record the track the day after?"1072Please respect copyright.PENANAGsykJNuQH8
"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAHoYGXWbK3K
"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAxWlIHsJWb5
"But why didn't you tell1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUUQ498u2MJ
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAUEBCHV42mg
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAXPrg9W5Aee
"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAjStcOsiW35
"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnBZtKYnRiA
"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAn4jlB5PMgd
"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASlNA8wfk52
"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAG0ur88pCMG
"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAOlnyjkA7QM
"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1072Please respect copyright.PENANACNQ6WuIYA0
"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAPsLTd5Jfv0
"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAyvv4Y9HJ75
It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAvDT3f5d9MU
The two managers and Lee went out of the room first. Just as we were about to walk out, TOP stopped me by holding my hand.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAX1VnrbaMYj
I turned to look at him 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMvV1HM9FLA
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1072Please respect copyright.PENANA4mcYS9ibCX
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEpk8G3RDmN
me like that.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAsMPd3SKWdZ
"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1072Please respect copyright.PENANAnj2Wp5qWp5
"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1072Please respect copyright.PENANA8zb8nV9R1z
"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAW4Dlg2QcoT
"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1072Please respect copyright.PENANASsFAVcE3lb
"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1072Please respect copyright.PENANACpPZvuSqIz
Zoey and the others left the room and I was the last to walk out. I didn't want to look at G-Dragon, but I did.1072Please respect copyright.PENANADYpiPhm0jg
We looked at each other 1072Please respect copyright.PENANADduJoGkXuT
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1072Please respect copyright.PENANAEbAQpZwNRz
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAtlORo3Ft0H
Maybe he also felt the same.1072Please respect copyright.PENANACricS0zIWL
But I wouldn't know and I wouldn't like to know what he felt. I walked out of the studio, closing the door behind me.1072Please respect copyright.PENANAh4Q0j0dtfI
I then realised that I 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAVhpTyMnLxe
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAKh2QYLGGhV
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1072Please respect copyright.PENANAMnQZb7IPOC
another time.
