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

My body ached all over 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS3inqYw2R
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg10gIoTX46
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpp1uJACQj
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaKRdfx76y
bed.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguqp9nYVvm

I scratched my head as I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEio9hevJGe
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIeNQjSom7
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lXS5l9KPg
he found me here.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdNXqOCq4p

I slowly stood up and I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGGc7hBqCv
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidELPzQG9Z
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVlr69eOCE
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KpJ8t4PcP

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXgBY1fBWu

I almost jumped in 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKIBIfHIvw
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntMhA3Yewf
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1aHpeac9l
obviously reading the news online.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD18kOPQiMh

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW4enjJtS9

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4RoVpV8pQ

"'Don't tire yourself 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQqDWFOadN
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkVzsjcV91
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyydsEFlXs0

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE5vtFumfG

"Oh, you were listening?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF3kM0dWqm

"Ya, you kept on playing1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi65wir9beU
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaMzrHSaeO
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrZBkezC4c

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvE5lw9aCW

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1snrJCAkmr

"For covering me with a blanket."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBLOJeqbUc

Collins looked at me 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfPkzqbVhT
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6m4Fd0C7N
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpt5KxcBgy

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWnrSYLVxe

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZKiyPRjNC

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1hCwRAhGv

"Me too."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hfMMsub69

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTgb5khG0W

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2D1vYpuFE

"Going to take a shower," I said.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRmSaYyWgE

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZkp6yFllY

After I freshened myself1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EBXV4BiIv
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9HlDFXF5v
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYMqe6Vmeb
Collins was still on his tablet.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4IRcdHy81

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK4A3TmZBr

"Nope. Just looking at 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d9Ay5wPxv
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0MveuXNfR
coming back late at night with the others."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSKugrpSBn

"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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh3PfsXLWk

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GasR6GkRG

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ipCrt2P6

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0ruZ1BdWB

Collins handed his 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIB6bCrCJ8
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjNumjZ2Au
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZNlONm6QM
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTXEuGuaa7
having a great time.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntHqLzXPzq

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHJLJqFOyv

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6HejM0o9o

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuNMpJjSEl

"They should have as 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJvGCpyCvT
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7UCCS8beM
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx9t8VlSq0

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZXTOPGpQa

"No, it's not about the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd6dXoStOn
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXDrQH8fKV
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxtjrBSoiU

I looked at Lee who sat 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS05LTFZcY
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqg48SlKiz
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrrpvspr0o
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSZGjWvPeO

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiygLLADE57

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYO9y1wGHU

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85gXbvIxdz

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx27HST0T3

"If I tell you, I'll 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5892rfIDjC
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3DiBDD5DN
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqiuWPvIfU

Collins got up from his 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu97hlyd6Q
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ602jZGmyqY
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcG9io2rhe
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDHMC2jRhi

"What do you know?" I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAKsK27z1b
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvcp1NfpUp
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ32D1Lt72B
detective asking questions to a criminal.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvTA6XhlIq

"I don't know," Lee 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAlxMJr2JX
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmWVnsGeP2
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcapgPT8Sr7

I knew something was up 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ0B46l43Q
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMf9kes9tu
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr7dXwdbWD

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoi5s5lRqj

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFea1w4YsL

"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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPB5Noivhr

"Hey, what's wrong?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBpAB360qO

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAlpRKiEPp

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21jbqk41te

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiNZk5BOg2

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiYOdMuQvr

"Well, kind of," I said 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FnobOnunJ
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiayMqz3oxa
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmifJkeZwIz

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxeZNspPjX

"Okay."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q8lomCOf3

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBn8Ehpb9D

Lee, Collins and I soon 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOTgZ9ncNb
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYGQcCM0CX
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt8DDGMuL7
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJWeEToeEh
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufWGPurcXL
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxp2zUfYEp

I was waiting in th 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboPzKvSrys
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz02ZX7yorP
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU3DN1hBXu
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp6slQHjNP
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyatnnmKHSu

I was pacing up and down1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d4AfdAN8T
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE8UfRIsXg
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhbmqRgZxP
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPR75yoAdR
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHioOIS7Oj
and I was so nervous.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6xrBcLWIz

"Here she is," said Lee,1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNgBp7MmkG
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ahiE06QJg
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkZY4PDe5j
you, Tae."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlFJn8rOSN

I frowned at Lee and I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkCURsgJQk
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDl06WhQ3R
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c9ZpXbxf2
friend.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8Jc8l8WoA

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4SfYMob4U

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXheMRFBP3

"I told Taeyang that I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDqEkXqQf2
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ms8Pa99ub
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0HszKyEvM

"Our manager called me 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKAPkHOCuq
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zX9S9Ze7T
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJTyoVwL0T
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9XwPnxsnl

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyPWZ3nMtt

"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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYJPtYv6Xo

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvGFLS5f9y

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl8S85PLmc

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb400kuVoo

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUHAwPUVj1

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9E2ZFkBBo

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ToatcFNb

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6R688bH3k

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqM5J6hEl8

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxc7rAxg1B

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT47usnNXm

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAaAyEiauz

"Sure."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B4SiwhfaJ

I gave Taeyang my 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77MiiCbA0m
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVY1YrePD8
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNjAzGPCfO
cute together.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZaQI2xIxT

"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."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ2aom1zLz

"Thanks. I was singing 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lrrKMzgXQ
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdAvcfam2r
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRFChd6BFE
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRQogzdMAc

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIB6C08GCH

"Well...not really," I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIRjnJwEvA
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnraesBq5Z
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURvFCoiqIC

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dfPtm4Cmv

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tDz0EIW7p

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FWouyUcI4

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfJ2vgp7bK

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp3QvFvvMM

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DUy2wbUxl

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk3GXUuyp3

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9VZhJ5TTD

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZgCnQk2GA

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdhzetlJgl

"Right now."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvh9HQfvPg

We all turned towards 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVaEW4xaRj
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqSA05ecuS
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuWkxrvFwm

When everyone got 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDudKUo7Enn
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc8zp82pnY
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iJBeTNoD3
run out of the room.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO7g6F2rej

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr53OV8oMob

I nodded my head and my 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjWGrH5TPj
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmho2K6B77
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatlSZWVZwv
ever got to play it.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywgaMOZZXZ

I felt a break of sweat 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGvRcdl1OJ
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzYurLjyew
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R8tbYUcRU
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCRFGsNrst
strung the strings on the guitar.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL6rcPaod4

I started to sing as I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLRoKezovL
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6izaSYlPWK
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtaaJYcJYr
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynznbiVzqF
didn't. Well, I hope so.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37VB1tdwJ8

As soon as I was done 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJGIiTl1b5
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G6j6mYivT
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yXpXbbyEJ
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIerb8wIYPs
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkgwqdRinp
hoped they liked it.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotPHpGosil

The studio was still 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeqHVRqXwz
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkPJrYbsqX
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtZ1GJ7nEE
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfzdJp9QJS

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3uKjXfAdp
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx69aR9JKJ9
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU4ENJo1Yv

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhuzYMlJ8l

This was it. The hammer 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEbiznwcOG
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W3rGvplfx
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTu1Y7s9s3

"....incredible."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mMfQ29hmj

I opened my eyes and I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNkWI3Dlw9
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAlZ2PaG6u
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmDrofMg9s
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08xA8yOFyy
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiZtyWUxwf

"I've to admit, when 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdzAzD1TXG
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTKyG6i8au
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8aXwNOFQ2

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUasuPgcxcN

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6TBqVJKJG

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGIKya29i7

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2iH01spYl

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY2QzSMamr

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrslDy7ExhD

I couldn't stop smiling 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllSskqe88b
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnWosfGeYD
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm4205euWO
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzIPuZLbuK
good voice and a golden one.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaoQ9evqaM

Immediately our managers1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUVougoda4
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt57Q0Orco
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSQBPypgP1
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeId0KRLl7D
musical instruments.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQLpp0ZSKL

This was always the hard1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohK0Kbn220
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJuw0VyEg2
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBDB8zEVRm
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXsJ7xEftW
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi74LoDBW5c

An hour had passed and I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnwS5FMFMn
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit8ira5AOs
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmCXpJGpzq
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlveMKDGCG
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91FumwBm4I
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJKR1GGhAS

"It's been an hour and I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueXiMIuVWv
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUh7YPJLvJ
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZCELVy0yW

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKzVinli1M

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv2ItmjzpA

"Trust me, you're so 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUG35ifPww
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETUDrmdK8j
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNqRoCzGJc

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY7QgsPCIr

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA0WL3Ja3z

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd2znCTsOo

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhPpXgShhC

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2HASlYWJf

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4fI50Wt9Z

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8uT9Qu6qx

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lpSOnaGYJ
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv3UJSolXa
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObYixDLE9e
masseur."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuiid0L9d6

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wscd9TUT4

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfNFBCoknM

The music producer soon 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fm1hfBq8C
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7ALTRyCyC
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFKxSn0yeA
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciJRQyUjqR
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw2hM8bgM8
recording the track.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FAyzlDzkF

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSNjJfw633

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtoOiiLOJr

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zT4WsRrO7

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP84GtTqF9R

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLhOOhDqYi

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2pDNGAkgI

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKNaCraw79
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRcvN7ZFqa
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeXhe0oCEr

"Let me guess, you're 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD697icmAuD
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfHdZQoKgg
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFwzL4mKxF

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGWGVdeRO5

Something told me his 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd78bZSTmv
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl7cuLuW6S
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6kwal3oUn
always does.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvcml9GGfu

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL0BQdKatj

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFBwg6Snyf

It was late in the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb9eyL46iS
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdtskVFuSk
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BKY2oWTko
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutrZg9JG2e
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXsdOGtc6R

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3bRvesSN1

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6g62YvNNT

I looked beside him and I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd4noCSn26
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yoNMO6VE0
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTTKGM0C0z
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtVLE8dOJQ
leaning my head on the console.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZxSvsWhm3

"I always hate this part1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDKu2ouSZh
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uxctOeDJ9
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmhTJ89lJg
console.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Kxh1mbjs

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfOL0y5bUX

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDkllQdSV4

"I wonder what time."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q2KgSSJg8

"Wait." I pushed my head1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2XlZdjvmy
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Eq2bfvQd
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOegi3yoot
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9N28otJ4M

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGpG0QWB8n

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sffK6Etk9

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46FJ0Wl7o4

"I didn't sleep well 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35PEf49VkR
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUBPZFFPIT
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLDFgkS8zY

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZnwAWp3qF

"You're right." I soon 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbY0ModetG
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWSShnurjo
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb0VExLX3o

"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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsUtW4TC5i

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp6l5MlPfy

"Alright. Thanks."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXlb5NXRrH

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpY6B253SP

"And so will I," said Seungri.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQzzTzSSOB

"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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9OtBjcack

Immediately I left the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZKL5LB1q0
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFag4FGgYv
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv5uYdTEKF

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHJbzu4O5h

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCpAKCBkdW

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQlJmco3xm

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0MMIcFqWV
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu0GLetbIa
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p0xnwn7JH

The next thing I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTirehkxvt
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMJRW13CMN
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWdINYm6yk
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpEjuaDvDi

I woke up by the sound 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7pK39B3jr
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHdrw4zWLJ
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerSwPThD9Y
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkCseTKhX7
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQRt5jRk9a

I reached out for the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2By2AjslE
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInTDMeNNKg
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rHQILKI4X
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QSTwFRg0M

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdShRGqypz3

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqtPRGZugs

"I could hear it ringing1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5E2DFfdJB
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPi2DqUTRo
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiGzjlKsBq

"Thanks," I said as I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kfWFtMXty
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL3fYzi9xI
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8i6pjTckv

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22T61CYJeO

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykoZUgwcG8

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u0qCGnJsD

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopyelUo4tY

Lee left the room and I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7GcBIxNo3
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHQ3WJzSRQ
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AoW0AnjKL

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg3BPN3LlD

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22oDv3ttHx

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXutK4vpo4

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT9M8bDqMl

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcT7OMwKuU

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTmRoeAak3

I dashed over to the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFDv9ed5rV
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXCtmdU2wq
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34AkMIUTQh

It was now 10 PM and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiC5wMleDs
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDauOLR67h
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3QyK0Q1MF
they were right now.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpcoif5Rec

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9MCACS7Be

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwMtto3nHN

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdxS3o6X1b

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNFg6wD9eh

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOYqH1vxwn

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0hOncbiuV

"True."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7T33YPt04

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJr9gie3b2

Two bell boys came out 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCyTqVaegq
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSUwHYRRQh
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMoIAXcRdP

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi74tvIiXw4

There were so many gift 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fv93n7qBW
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZdVtVcJGg
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomqXnqZ7B0
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdznNX91ipH
so pissed.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsteFTWPwvA

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jhdcae7gS

"They are downstairs," he answered.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6cMjtugHV

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDUjNgXyMY

When the doors flew 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvu0aUP7BF
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtq5Q5d2XN
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR1EX03dnL
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5pZ20G1nC

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQy0IWl1YF

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SkSNHBjBC

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwCkhZmitJ

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9kVGP2liM

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsdyRWlWJy

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjc8Qjka2C

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJDVDEOdVS

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvTTCOKbDc

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJxvkTPtPZ

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZpQDjpcyQ

I raised an eyebrow. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygoPfyXqdS
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrNjLDxVAJ
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFGwslq03H

"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?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBaifaFBVN

"Everyone just missed 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlAsFhiONv
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UAqAspZLd
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ac0FLE1a

I rolled my eyes at him,1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB7auGbYpP
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFIRBKfKoa
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVDvh5PiPJ
face when I hugged him.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS31r5bI3N

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub0VjWgCy6

"Wait! You missed TOP 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpvRLExnQL
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAAkKJ0QeW
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp4tBTSKqf

I always loved it when 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgnqPQEIvL
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85bw0LhzW8
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bUVckD9Yv

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC3miLX5B3

For a moment, that voice1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8VE33YOmq
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuHIQWNS1g
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mCJQoD03U
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwZWpWDwnI
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1urHcOJuk
he was still acting the same way he had left.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTTwUkPsIj

I was really confused. I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNANPbc33a
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2xSY5YlX6
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ZuyxeULh
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGHINGXcm5
personal and it had to do with me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAJ6iGeQKS

I had no other choice 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B0CYBwuHU
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjTx3mmehP
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2VMrv9Kx1
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcXqPqaM0X

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FRpVTZexp

By the look on his face,1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pL0nKJRnm
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbPHOb5z0x
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgW2II8C5T
going to end pretty tonight.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxY3TIN5rb

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLo5R9pegR

"Ya, I did."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRayfKKGT4

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQY2QXYztY

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34htAGEtf0

"Can't wait to hear it,"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYCVvqVUfR
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9RwtZrY26
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSsIXc5pTc

"Anything for you, 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQOaXG4Zn2
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu6IaA6kfh
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj85DJeGOC
look at Zoey.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAYPMsc78e

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtbuR7yqHj

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g4v8wRPuo

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cD9IfNiX8

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPtW048t0n

"You know Collins is 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dZQsH5pPy
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PDKn59Rc2
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsnrM3fSuY
floor.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKQKHA4Fm4

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUuRj39AkA

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yhoEJ3R1u

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPImxbPDAEK

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKVy6wDGJp

"We better sort out all 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LzBRT44Ro
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDms1o1tE5x
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4ME6Q75f9
floor.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEK2OZaLzh

Sorting out all the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi498AfyAho
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQrRNYoIBZ
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcfzOVF7C1
had really bought a lot of stuff.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2SLS5ZY1t

The boys had brought a 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJLIt0dSZN
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5ccEuY8P9
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrrJ8j7Vgl
expensive designer shoes.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr3dnEJ7x9

As for Zoey and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUTGrE8Lo5
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjU1DU0tKU
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRKO32h2gj
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rcN45gl1d

"G-Dragon was helping me1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbrBkge9H5
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMSITXSK66
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEaUbdHJDY

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs3PreuXUR

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc7OVG3o33

We were sitting on the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjD49DIC8K
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUtf7dI8EJ
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb8Wd483h8
stuff with Collins' too.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28dSjNybIY

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzcFjM4Z2W

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLXvAN7jTb

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVbOZkVKxx

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcST6qxhRZG

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiotxiGoSK

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSxvc4Y1oS

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10LDQvVl5O

I distributed the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZBrXUUnPW
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr4F8MlYBH
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEINsucxVt
was meant for me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuM3pyDHSf

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggJWBhlpkD

"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."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnSGqzTXz1

"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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXf427An4L

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOohJjbPcag

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecVm5rIfG3

For a moment, time 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJftJuJYLv8
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHcYhZq5uI
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV84v5rcgLv
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPc98KpV7Z
mess.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ixDdDlcrj

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsLoz5yogE

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeZF9Jmrfu

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhB0qRREm8

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0xugxvau2

For me, it kind of felt 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln4c0t4i2Z
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dUuCYggvE
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIwgeXKtCS
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXOAYK3MTP

When Collins came to the1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSWTYdfWaK
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZXbrOpuYK
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq7ZyONyR2
he just couldn't.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzvAWrAQ4h

"Hey, Collins," I said.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzd1bUWVzt

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmGfHWJTIl

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpV5wLMfy6

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN4k9yvPiN

"Thanks."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVAuUju8Mz

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivRfRE0GRP

"Who?" I asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKPL7ITZkb

"You know who I'm talking about."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoPL6X441d

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnrtizOOU5

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoidHgPC0DJ

Collins went over to the1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOdPpepxe0
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9WrSENM6s
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUjQkyP89J
up at him.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCVJHglEhi

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5fbGKX1fT

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaeE0GMDee

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG456Yykgp

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo2jam2pwr

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxum45g6Img

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i6vl7m2Sx

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8zVaAqHzp

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxZC196wIz

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKzyMt8bo7

"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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgPQ8jeHEM

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpXlcSaGF6

"Here, we brought you an1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzymXlo1rC1
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm86GLYZ3Ta
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOopFCjKeo7

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN74Cayx3sV

"Thanks," said Collins, 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNuz4yIlgP
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtSwfL4tUk
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzseUmhZXgS

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnGMZ14k0j

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCFcI80TGp

Lee was right. Collins 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9UYXO9SbH
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUZYPISxTb
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf3Pebdidq
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmGq1eUXu3
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusDIVSGGbj
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWanyVQi9K

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGHVnxhDeN

We continued sorting out1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfhum5lWMk
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnv1Odc4Kn
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw0QHwwN5t
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYPAQHR4qU
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzmAKEFxpD
already too late and we all needed to rest.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudPaf2BMBP

We hadn't managed to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstaIhqHNik
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6cXMVtMq7
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOTX0d8Hw1
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37zUFybc7o
course.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UJHVuDhjN

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWosTZysp0

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmPLnYAf7v

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWso62Amcw

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuTV0aON4C

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf93649cKAA

I looked at her with an 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwabOgkZK5d
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA23ssHnAz
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN11ppaTl8

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYWKJJv51D

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEW5jBxsSa

"Fine?" I looked at 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32TG18K9g1
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFrTWj0cwp
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRffFuDVQ3
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN5euQ9Cb8

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVmdRAIf4e

"Tell me, please!" I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwHO9Kt1bA
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwEAYM71k6
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZnVE1ghZA
tell me something. So tell me!"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI5GvpeJJa

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPCiamSd6X

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSSoJyFDOE

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvip4PGcOyO

"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."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTcMNcNiKR

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91yKzZ74Vi

I felt really excited 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57ycwZe5Fb
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz4rx0cgtU
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSuLkql88S

"I don't know how I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzENpbFu8L6
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O2gX54yrz
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY75uVW5Zi
Tower."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh5pDQHfxx

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l8nKSk6o9
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP2eRZtpqJ
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyjqGAaQ6B

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuGJvELo4d

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JJAfHt4kB

"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."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJQl1CU98p

"What?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2BD7MYcmu

"When we got to the top 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelgeb0LTxi
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3YxSCPBRC
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ChQ7pPh7
others had left and it was just GD and I."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFY5LW8LaA

My eyes grew wide. I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU10FScUAS
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GLCPuKroJ
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgqSUDnPc3

"You two kissed."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiokGbTQhlj

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB5bx6fIHi

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB6Tdc3XKy

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykpq2eXcAJ

"Well, you were in one 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeqOwjeamq
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyLnoveNEY
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmirA364xd

"Smart."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsKnaRTT4F

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk7CactWYZ

Zoey smiled like a fool,1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBlwxChrTt
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8TIIQ1Tgj
it was so magical at the same time."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1iKAai78Q

I couldn't help but 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqWvn9Gv3B
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5hR8qdkI8
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwFZtXMGug
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgTyWs1sQ1
everyone at the prom.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqtL0tfdLc

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2LaVR7QwB

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Sr9GNtQQ

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmfiltL8hr

"And? Anything else? 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZWlGS86FW
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYPpJH97oC
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V4XkqTcXG

"When we were on top of 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcknBx3VoM
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ejBV2iYk
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlevA7Du2M

Well that's a bummer. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEVbXYIDxs
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDkgyZRCaY
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZyn0YyqeA
really liked Zoey and not me?1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzhk2FVkKp

I brushed that off. Why 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwct0ctCvu
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYADEknC4JN
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pVnzxGWWL
hopes up with it.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6beXldGa4

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4x1HPj6CN

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoT5DXW744

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo3bRdq48g

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTjr8hhOIY

"Thanks, Sam."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ejTPwTIk

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsoCh1HnBa

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDzrHOm44I

I left Mr Panda on the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSENTds7SFe
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBPbxElnG2
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUIV5WZ9t2
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RKbgpjqy4
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FaTQgDHqA

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jWuSI2wqI

"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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanpO5RtvDg

I laid my head on the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSuFnksLn7
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTnRbFlmMw
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWEFnjLzwj
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNssQcPJcl
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqmdk7CGHc
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QilXrHwgd
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN0OcYgb5p
have been.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOlMWI5HKm

Zoey would have only 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPqR7rULNt
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QUkVk8to0
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQvrZHbphh
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVKWnt7RDu

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfSbuKPg2R

I pulled Mr Panda closer1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxOqAqaraM
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXv96BKySZ
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLR1OkNXIc

***1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsWMC5ZUk0

I was given a round of 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoa8hV7A0f
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0crVpeCcT
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0W1Y8Bv9L
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI6ezeQn2E

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7b0d7SuSP

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzmj7yZDAG

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHFlP0j6DQ

"Then you better eat 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1RMDWXYkp
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeefFlB2aZ
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhQUZWaqA0

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV3dUkmIfE

"I can't wait for us to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59rxQ4fsPQ
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfr9J6E327
beside me. I could only tell why.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dCMqux3xY

Christine who sat 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZWA7ZYv1r
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2psvqqk7k
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySvoToyn1G
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrQhWoTgs7
and G-Dragon.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PPo0FTXq1

When we were done 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1OwcQoLXM
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYs99TEm4U
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW7wBzFs14

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sShk9VKLh

"What is it, Zoey?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOqiIEAPBp

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip3SGRjB8w

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxHHV6s4xG

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG18xSYEmS

"That's the problem," 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1sVJPIqMQ
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEXJSzmtqa
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQqYQf3PgF
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7WmPmcSUb

Mike turned away and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8arGmG4PWI
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEdvmEKW1a
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYjyRwOcwC
something?1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJELOL7ex7p

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvHAKAxJeg

We agreed with Christine1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJsjBywpYW
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc1wvQdwy7
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6rgzssqn2
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAUfoPJNhO

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPHZFzKbch

"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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX0hxIaLrd

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzaYOITz3V

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSwdAWB97Z

"I also feel like I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mkfelYvr9
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92me6meEaX
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9JmNlPbEd
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdzwmDEaYq

"Do you think we should 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLy3TwzUHi
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz7eTqF4eQ
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e8XyagLmI

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNbczuaaa0

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMTlvuydUN

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyidvtDMbCu

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn8sB5MT5C

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZabulvCACH

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnheCjDOggd

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2GGNkQXNM

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnVxAjfTWs

I stood up from the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSkuvDRl1O
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47IApvStgc
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrztEYAqxfk
conversation.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXEn4mtmnx

When I went back, I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpq2kpa7TK
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gkog5aI6z
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Sijx0upw
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5zS2uRkjj

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO69IwtTFj

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvXb9X295U

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfkVtvb7gz

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnYB4I9b2x

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ROY7DUFld

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XrMg4P4W7

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkNMZ23zCV

G-Dragon gave me a weird1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiryDiay3I
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCPgS1YIs8
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lmKnrlYrP
took their place on the couch.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOovyb9Kcwj

"Christine and Daesung, I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ7Dod3p2n
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QkV6j6vtG
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9pD8RvD4u

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIlirrHCee

"Ya, we will sing the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzQXqS9okO
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJxNQNQc3w
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pW7WmN11G
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXab8yOG6Pc
producer has the lyrics printed out."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKocDSZOlV

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaXiDtLNcz

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QSGoraiaS

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1GF58HQrU

Then we all went over 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUndNvSvz4
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRptd6DY8T3
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpHtB4fvAO

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRGKb2PDsg

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWUVeaurfo

"Me too," said TOP.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLiXIrUs8Q

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ16LwGAeS

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3xdEn5vIp

I didn't look up at him 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ilMzf34V
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3mnZlvYeJ
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCkmjhz2oA
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVZFXyFqm9

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWx1BmSu8Z

I started to relax my 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNThUDwXwE
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCPJpitepO
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM87Mb8jxoD

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5cwGrTPbP

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NKkg2LQge

G-Dragon came to sit 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ486hYMebWj
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzXgVdW99R
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCfQJV9xcu
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyngv8DGs7
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPqIqWKF6v

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YdVSBTZiw

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqklCxByjV

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmWUH87iyc

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWxrCW2m4i

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbf97ZprBR

"Really?" the music producer asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG3PoKQgAA

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEfTeLLXG0

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgF36BBgja

"Give him a chance, 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd72QjAp29x
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ3yGh4QMT
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZhzyN2OOf
headphones and put them on.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV6rKm7htD

"Okay, this is 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn3Y2K466j
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgB9qy7gDA
join them and see what needs some changing."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlo33b3l3T

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM61TMt16VP

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyG8toVYmw

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxykaJ5rjW

The others looked at me 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzbd6oLxgO
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcF1Z0fhUw
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZjNVWvXrC

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtWWnpiRec

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnqFO3ejwP

"That's going to be a 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd37CiDeKu
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzItfuecsEX
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa6CXAsVrQ

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGN0kZ57ME

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi3Ewb78cI

"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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVYY6qgp6m

I looked over at Zoey 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GtUKOJwNR
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGQK0xpI9n
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr2HiIhkST

I put a stool in front 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgz5tHqj36
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JWjp4DviO
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIuNkbuzCm
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VqTk8w9li
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruHFPiucro
others.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WRVylXPnw

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVm3LHE3EE

Taeyang and I sung the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbh1PaKmbO
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h9Bulo1Od
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwnMBlSS8J
great and everyone cheered.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBhvVriGEz

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN27R0ozbF

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PD3vT9yQF

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSvJGUKdpV

TOP started to rap the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ej6MDo5mf
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJFsM6bKz2
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCrOEIr36q
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQcBzEQxq4

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfa1lRBJSF

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKYMDiFYpK

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKnWLqyJz3

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wT2QOdBnU

Daniel and Seungri sung 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4vuesUXc1
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdqtFyylaH
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGdWm8c5mf
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDfV8jtQ2k
clapped for themselves and cheered.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToUsVVoPFZ

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodPeq0J0D0

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnifArA30gG

I almost fell off the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqSYo91UGz
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks0oCkAHuw
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk955oc9OrG
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcseeYZdoUn

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xvbawmMpy

"I have to say, you all 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoruqPTvZhX
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcR7ZUbKPg
smile. "Keep up the good work."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmdqu4NIiJ

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15lIs2LXU5

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYbFRWPY16

No one said anything. We1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Bk0QEp9o
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4lVL38abg
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqU1Lds5NP
talking.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZUxaLy1db

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYsqNFeUd9

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoncFw4ZI0I

That, I couldn't answer.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS66qjgc96
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqR4VScsTI
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡussn7pDFzy

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Uf56BBk2g

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtU5KLiQ8r

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSiambDNLJ

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJia3GhTm8

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSQQys5gau

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXCyavvlA8

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllw6u4bDyT

"I want them back here 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TKcwvqYsz
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D16AmrD39
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lcjcxOc6W

I gulped as I felt the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze2XSQtFzp
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEt0TFyPYk
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1zQ4MiQsX
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFKDwZ8TJY

No one said anything 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnDc6vX2Ly
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7e4cCHbow
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kBH8VMvu1

"Where could they have 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9BuYeVvij
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAoZYJyd1t
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwJA36h0Mu

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5OVNQutXj

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCwdCrdjVu

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hxxraJwpK

"Then we better start 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFvcCHrqfe
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle9d2ASbN0
looking for them will be difficult."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlRYEKtBG7

We all agreed to split 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasGPUCJBOw
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChanYToPZp
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqHkaYdxx6
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD23kuKMoS

All the studio rooms 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4RofhCr2v
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlviQbLp3e
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId7bfq57Jh

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaRuH9CQ3H

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1KaExvHxQ

"Almost fifteen minutes."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmjHcGlLRd

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5BqpwB8wC

He nodded and pulled out1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCZpLpe4V2
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyKbEajaIb
walked out of it and came towards us.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYRFiKdMe4

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK45inUhiC

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTtOrx5W1u

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnxUB9LgkB

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVerxrIt99

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss1uqP9lCG

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4JPOt3LS4

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu218u0p7y

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5vkPKWaEI

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3NF4cb5bc

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN5xRcDELq

I hadn't said a word 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtes35RTIZQ
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA6pMFdY7U
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceduG7t245
but worry.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBsNPNuCLi

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqZKjl1qQa

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO5N7plrwA

Daesung motioned his 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Su1KTZ3K
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn734r59r4
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgrZBWsc1j

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJRlw14cE4

Taeyang and the music 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQktiZZid5g
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWAWu0ge3v
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AeKk2KauF
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wXoPfVoz0
and angry at the same time.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOX1pE5cZf

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK1Ce0Di90

I looked over at Daesung1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXnzVBuizM
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7Uajb31Az
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5YhV1mzBC
the play button.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDQcLiNwn9

***1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6vTcji7XS

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHkwkZ2XQt

I came crushing back 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ld6owXjo2
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs06oFpYlvJ
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9372IzCDft

I had so many mixed 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYJvvHlFMw
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dy5MPsaXz
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjNGPZfUYT
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabwdmnxzNK
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkecGNu99Vm

I could tell that the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolQg2jqF4T
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf2IJQzTkC
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZcVAkvYNZ
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFz2lO9L40

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SguvJ0eZM

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UnzSe9JLm

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2HYJ13z3i

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Feo9Hf9Y

I folded my arms and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQHSTvwCAv
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ChP9ZLxDy
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxsSXkirHR

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4o1vkWW4v

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQzBwdpWyD

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEEKFk7jMf

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Lepr12e4

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQqRfdkywi

I could feel the others 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMT2woSydV
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeMoTF8r0D
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsJNFX5HVI
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfhYKtBVUp
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiMV6QWrz5
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJf6HfWKOi

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0QEICXwj5

"Okay." I nodded my head.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNSEIX9XoZ

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJXVbikwfZ
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFheTXvYssw
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx7f47AGPm

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14hluq66DE

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaXy3a5gsw

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqamp8AJumc

"Not until I hear what 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtakba0qlw
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZcHzGJRi8
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGxzfOoAia
trying to calm down.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ah6tjwkPZ

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJEPLLasvK

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIgcj44jcl

"So that we could get 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoG8VcrqS5
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKqJeld06w
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmo6xeXuRw
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILjQIP9YSN

"I agree with Sam," said1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9PuWQoiUR
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkovQC4ByI
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWNdxBl45p

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKNdlP8I7r

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzmrcHCj48

The rest of the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2VH62zvSC
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiXhwPbYpU
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmLlQgUTcC
playing cards.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymtg1jDUb7

I was leaning my chin on1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZWAFHYMQy
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6nk8udT0g
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapVCI2m9iQ
especially to me.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7ZBJRnvvA

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnbTbsMyiA

I suddenly sat upright 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4SBaYA0G4
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmhbugHJxn
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJwviUhNj
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxi831vUUl
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDNGW93cME

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gAFfBktpy

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2QbW9nQYq

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Wz6vCHkn

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6In7gLaIou

"Maybe we can just order1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUnsGVOKz0
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT2fKfAVhl
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIZtzrKcqd

"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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA743QstYp

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJYWKPIxSL

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThbOCuxh7e

"I heard that Zoey and 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HJC8xt6Me
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWw6gmAKDZ
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqqzftWfoc

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo87MZXcknR

"Then it's a good thing 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFzHNNyBO9
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK66aW8vifN
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t4VDRRCuK

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD6iCjNBzu

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO48RviGtL

Everyone soon dropped 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWktaEMc7WV
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZvqZlaRmp
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLOZ3CYGpl

I had never eaten pizza 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmTb0GHdRR
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9OWw3TAMw
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR36m9jSOpI

We were done finishing 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXNUmLws7m
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jrE7hjgck
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJSoNtVg6e

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jgiYaIOJe

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D7u24TbKU

We were huddled up on 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL3EiStlMV
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D3sgisWpA
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Yv8rz8Td

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbWbtFI7TF

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzkeEHd289

"You lied? About what?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN4a0mJ7nw

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UKjVWQZ3G

"But why?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e9SOsm8l2

"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."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vPUaW0WjM

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?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZePPwsnYF

I didn't expect Lee to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3IKdB1LZ3
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWykIRljKw
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwSnlk53Rx

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMK7W9TuVF

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB7K1aMGyi

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaroIpZ9rEE

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH19w77pBVd

I stood up from the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZG0l6pl0S
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXICQsQZCUd
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdp4EJvLwW
later.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd5mHnAhwo

Trying to find the right1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJHZpiAdzM
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy5Fnpxuci
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCbZQuzRkd
what for, was the question in mind.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfymjsLNXCW

"Aren't you going to 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRNGqQ1cb1
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLWjU3Oswe
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouc7ToW3AE

"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."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZvOIksPhj

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe131Q2AjNO

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YJ1SB6cwL

Lee went on to look at 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCQiAvVNMT
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRo12i4RJt
just thought they might be arguing again."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2GYFfr479

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERrezDw6zp

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhZmskMaSQ

"I don't even know what 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25iWaeMrZW
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclQJMxVRvp
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUyh6vrttI

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJy6PzCjEx

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKET4ZbqngU

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcGi5fj0Qa

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFS83jypMS

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJKiOU4ZzX

It only took five 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFbNGlfoPb
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Cy7PJhlk
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nwH6VtqUC
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCLKe3J4B4

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNsJrAfmsl

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCJBD27eTI

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGSkP93SwF

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitXD22OQfv

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzSTm49m1d

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8WZRYNDxm

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q3eAlacpF

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq1s0zH4FL

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm15AMMNFA

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EEmRG4KR8

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BqNP7xo0m

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Ql0jFPA5

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppi7YYqoPc

"Why did you this?" I asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88maJMfL8n

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5VtbdrglS

"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."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRptMaVw0Lo

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvBxwPITda

"The instrumental is in 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDR2bt3gtU
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZD413oK4a
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl1IgY1DSl
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldNUZeqeZB
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxxat1dE3Y
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72SFzso5OK
pissed."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL01KxqslCw

"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."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhmzTBGGA7

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nIrZVQzFy

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVvu9Ps3av

I looked at Zoey and she1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjJ8vjT8it
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qbmfUELBw
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsCg1e4hgm
was mad at me for.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZJVYZrrtD

"Now is not the right 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p3O5KdEr6
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc580A7iNK
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZarWbMOt6C
understand.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNY9HYAnbJ

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89c0RNvct4
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrCtmrH7sW
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA30Fw7Av31
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iyYDpJ03Q

"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."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVYnzKQW4V

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1LODtlKsJ

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg5yPEZ2MC

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sfgabo1Uv

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzBz14r8i4

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGuHgHHW6G

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4y8LIx8UU

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgY9MNK9SN

I paused with my mouth 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF51oJ4C7X
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH35CLRDS6
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VVfZ1KEkj
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4BwrG3rTq

I looked at G-Dragon and1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfr9JoorIJ
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXOnjfgBY9
face wondering what he was thinking.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngSyQtFIMY

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeQ9x2OuOk

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbbHA7cn7L

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6GXd3dm1R

I smiled and Seungri 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPwrZezsnx
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirDS8lovs9
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvxd4oKfFJ
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoEjuTcUwQ

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmBXMs4rct

I smiled a little more. 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH444tgRJX
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCh34qifFI
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq143fvgjj
were at war again.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDbeDwLKV5

"But we can't start 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel2aElakwm
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTzUzENe3c
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjRF8rDeDI

I sat upright and alert.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWZve5jo0Y
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqyM7OgYwL
have to record the track the day after?"1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZrCm98r8x

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG2fO8sWnA

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjV1Q75q1b

"But why didn't you tell1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdnUzCSMjI
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUEMEJNh7y
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcPElmy0U3

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYOFbKHpUk

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpyLzT9lvU

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M7pk3QEcS

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgsPVauS19

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaVM80Ud0l

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGHziR4VuM

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd29fh93Z5k

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAwo15peRo

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfzejDW0t8

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bwc2itOSJ

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUb0TlKXMs

I turned to look at him 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtEgc2V8xn
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkNhTZwOua
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G90PvMJ3G
me like that.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx2eJna57l

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPietBLC0pG

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHgOAl84Z9

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsO7YurPJI

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTjkEdnShb

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTNTRpA7uJ

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1WUrfPUb7

We looked at each other 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBaFJjs7rY
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqMVUb5u3X
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg905HGl1j
Maybe he also felt the same.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwotbLQoMSi

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.1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV3Y91vMM8

I then realised that I 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt40XtCkcJD
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs0LF3CEBv
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7gW3kDdt7
another time.
