The water felt like a 936Please respect copyright.PENANA0MS6Nq4TpA
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 936Please respect copyright.PENANAmWnGKQG1QF
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 936Please respect copyright.PENANAtPPjdjLDqH
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 936Please respect copyright.PENANAKPjkEMyFLf
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 936Please respect copyright.PENANAiT2Y20Lxw0
breathe. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6xL1ZVO0c
I pushed myself upwards 936Please respect copyright.PENANAvS7bUzWdzH
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of936Please respect copyright.PENANAMcrrifHwVQ
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 936Please respect copyright.PENANAk1afNousJM
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 936Please respect copyright.PENANATxDCDcDDDU
edge.936Please respect copyright.PENANAWdhbPtuOGE
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.936Please respect copyright.PENANAyWYyceGj6x
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.936Please respect copyright.PENANA9ebS4N12Yp
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.936Please respect copyright.PENANAEF0F9STQYT
I looked ridiculously 936Please respect copyright.PENANA0lfiNqkyvb
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 936Please respect copyright.PENANA6rPT4A1MUh
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 936Please respect copyright.PENANAciKpexTxei
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 936Please respect copyright.PENANAuciDuSruy0
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 936Please respect copyright.PENANAoEz4XRQcO5
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.936Please respect copyright.PENANApxdf3BOWpX
I looked around me and 936Please respect copyright.PENANAs80vRClNSO
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 936Please respect copyright.PENANArZ2zb9Jvci
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 936Please respect copyright.PENANA0PEcIfHwwp
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 936Please respect copyright.PENANA7HIfLFwtXI
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.936Please respect copyright.PENANAnkTtxd2GaG
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."936Please respect copyright.PENANAf4iPpxgyh0
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."936Please respect copyright.PENANAImw6191hZy
I heard Zoey and the 936Please respect copyright.PENANAjTlfiy5ch0
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on936Please respect copyright.PENANADBnDMBo7oB
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.936Please respect copyright.PENANAAAB0kcMFVw
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 936Please respect copyright.PENANA92xtI4u9MA
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's936Please respect copyright.PENANAa9j6781TZY
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 936Please respect copyright.PENANAiaS1FF7s3I
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."936Please respect copyright.PENANAGka984i7pC
"I already told you, I'm936Please respect copyright.PENANALNro6uxSBW
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I936Please respect copyright.PENANArYUlIBHRpw
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 936Please respect copyright.PENANAmTpskKvWCW
from anyone.936Please respect copyright.PENANABSumzLOXT5
I made my way towards GD936Please respect copyright.PENANAWqsObPR0Gx
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what936Please respect copyright.PENANAF3t9HsoKrE
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 936Please respect copyright.PENANA6yilaHCmOj
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.936Please respect copyright.PENANAQg2mYiK3wm
"Oh, man, Sam," said 936Please respect copyright.PENANAWnzLzHjNzC
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 936Please respect copyright.PENANAkc15TdI9V7
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 936Please respect copyright.PENANAXRwWUGdA36
game. Hope you didn't mind."936Please respect copyright.PENANAnzHrIvusVQ
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."936Please respect copyright.PENANAT1sFtRbdo6
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."936Please respect copyright.PENANAmNQ2yP3MJj
"I told you, our 936Please respect copyright.PENANAy3PYaXRkMD
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 936Please respect copyright.PENANAYeS5VqK1qr
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 936Please respect copyright.PENANA9pw7WebVE5
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 936Please respect copyright.PENANAKOlm6o3wqI
Daesung.936Please respect copyright.PENANA5WkxQW9XwI
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.936Please respect copyright.PENANAcKaLJdHeXG
I dialled Lee's number 936Please respect copyright.PENANAqMV21DO4jG
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 936Please respect copyright.PENANAIRbKnOcGRM
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 936Please respect copyright.PENANArQRQT4dBTD
They would know soon enough.936Please respect copyright.PENANAaBL99vtiGm
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.936Please respect copyright.PENANAmsGlywqRjC
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.936Please respect copyright.PENANAGyFtsjGZuX
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"936Please respect copyright.PENANACpGQSBelmk
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAHOTVV7TuYb
"No, not yet. But you 936Please respect copyright.PENANAPDFhKMrRDW
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And936Please respect copyright.PENANAjq9qfWlGKC
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."936Please respect copyright.PENANAcxKrjH8jJA
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."936Please respect copyright.PENANAsuggxZ94Mc
"Okay, I'll be waiting."936Please respect copyright.PENANAKbWQwP1qB6
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.936Please respect copyright.PENANA3OEGMDbLJ8
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAoCl5pilZ7U
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."936Please respect copyright.PENANAyN10CiMQzl
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAJLPlbuFfVe
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."936Please respect copyright.PENANAQDg6q9Ognn
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.936Please respect copyright.PENANAla3pB4T1fX
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."936Please respect copyright.PENANAjfkjqSAr3Y
I shook my head. I was 936Please respect copyright.PENANAAPB3tZwW7z
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 936Please respect copyright.PENANAdf5dBMWMwi
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 936Please respect copyright.PENANAZS9q1Z2ElD
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.936Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jm6ohM01b
After walking a few feet936Please respect copyright.PENANAmOFflSf0Gk
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 936Please respect copyright.PENANAOKG1NO0yIz
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was936Please respect copyright.PENANAtNSoDAWWkX
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 936Please respect copyright.PENANAFjqO46c3vV
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.936Please respect copyright.PENANAaRNLSf6EEX
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAfjdzytfUnB
None of them answered as936Please respect copyright.PENANAJzVWDzyaJe
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 936Please respect copyright.PENANA0aoHH9MjS3
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 936Please respect copyright.PENANAwLWYKTUExt
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.936Please respect copyright.PENANAXYpVJisyvL
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.936Please respect copyright.PENANAL2rM3PrCfg
"I wasn't going to say 936Please respect copyright.PENANAJuDHy2mcke
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing936Please respect copyright.PENANAnMm2NKql7s
you would want to hear from me is advice."936Please respect copyright.PENANAhGElYCGQLg
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 936Please respect copyright.PENANA6JcESRk4Qj
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.936Please respect copyright.PENANALwiUcd5CsI
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."936Please respect copyright.PENANABQ2AEErmnU
"I'm still upset, though."936Please respect copyright.PENANAlolCyNUig0
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."936Please respect copyright.PENANAsoeO8qJFn6
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."936Please respect copyright.PENANASO0WrPJVvc
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."936Please respect copyright.PENANAWiRNHVcGOj
I gave TOP an assuring 936Please respect copyright.PENANA9daFK2M2gY
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way936Please respect copyright.PENANATCZQtcTfQi
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 936Please respect copyright.PENANAEqrXKECm4N
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I936Please respect copyright.PENANAbaYBiiLinx
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't936Please respect copyright.PENANAbOAukdaYa1
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 936Please respect copyright.PENANA8sE2LNm3uw
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.936Please respect copyright.PENANA2IVzceJx2z
We all found ourselves 936Please respect copyright.PENANANmVuhy8Og0
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins936Please respect copyright.PENANA7O07ECMgJH
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 936Please respect copyright.PENANA0r1PuUYiRv
were waiting for me. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAc7x4nNSsgV
"Hey, Sam, you don't 936Please respect copyright.PENANAxrU9O1pa2T
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 936Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ezq07gnWX
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.936Please respect copyright.PENANA0XaEoQy8WJ
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."936Please respect copyright.PENANAfvcd5L0oYl
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 936Please respect copyright.PENANA7ikbOyq4Cf
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 936Please respect copyright.PENANApejSTbwW8C
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch936Please respect copyright.PENANAxsaoyCVDqT
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 936Please respect copyright.PENANA1uge1r4ISo
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.936Please respect copyright.PENANAbjYZL7IGaU
I had my eyes closed 936Please respect copyright.PENANA3w70HgjUii
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found936Please respect copyright.PENANAdK3wqJA5HS
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.936Please respect copyright.PENANAGefqqf1ioh
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."936Please respect copyright.PENANAkMkC2ef2w8
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.936Please respect copyright.PENANAL1Jhj7YuRP
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."936Please respect copyright.PENANA0JviUwIOaN
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."936Please respect copyright.PENANAiB7i8Rt4nj
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."936Please respect copyright.PENANAc1nZU0FTAQ
Taeyang led me to his 936Please respect copyright.PENANA0cwCqZYja8
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 936Please respect copyright.PENANAFWcxXUcM8c
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 936Please respect copyright.PENANAv7P7JR85z6
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.936Please respect copyright.PENANA4NeL0IHdxs
In about thirty minutes,936Please respect copyright.PENANACVCpsnZTA7
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 936Please respect copyright.PENANAui63g0vWuf
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 936Please respect copyright.PENANA60ej9ZrQTJ
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 936Please respect copyright.PENANA5VLSfvOUwE
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 936Please respect copyright.PENANAqYhiyFzZel
appeared out of the elevator.936Please respect copyright.PENANAiCmpeHF3ZY
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAPvrQdxuqhJ
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.936Please respect copyright.PENANAWWuM45sUKx
Lee who stood behind 936Please respect copyright.PENANAY9iCS8vpfZ
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 936Please respect copyright.PENANAWltw5Ikyhp
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 936Please respect copyright.PENANA3jSOXaX8al
other things in mind.936Please respect copyright.PENANAhvQgP7C7LI
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"936Please respect copyright.PENANA6IYB1u5XIT
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 936Please respect copyright.PENANAbLe3OK2ges
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 936Please respect copyright.PENANAQnSYd6sfQ6
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.936Please respect copyright.PENANAEVAH0l6xGn
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAND2CzuYlTG
"We didn't just go there to have fun," I said, with my head down. "If there's anyone to blame for all this, it's me."936Please respect copyright.PENANAaZhCSwKkaT
There was an awkward 936Please respect copyright.PENANA5DgY8NA0uT
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,936Please respect copyright.PENANAmUwMosXzOR
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.936Please respect copyright.PENANAE02M9EUFCe
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAhZvRwVDHfd
"Well, I hear the press 936Please respect copyright.PENANAfRXgbfyfd8
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon936Please respect copyright.PENANASLbZVVENzH
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."936Please respect copyright.PENANAvw0qmC9y4L
"That won't be 936Please respect copyright.PENANANQljvMbg54
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 936Please respect copyright.PENANAkxXQyIlkuT
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to936Please respect copyright.PENANAuu2ZCeImK4
go to the press looking all wet."936Please respect copyright.PENANAsCMX4zgZ9x
I breathed out a sigh of936Please respect copyright.PENANAFINYHVcCrj
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 936Please respect copyright.PENANAZFpiRYE5th
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.936Please respect copyright.PENANAtS1NyLl2tb
"In the meantime, you go936Please respect copyright.PENANASEOj5v9jAS
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 936Please respect copyright.PENANAAFOkJKs6MH
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."936Please respect copyright.PENANAWXJAPTar1w
I nodded my head in 936Please respect copyright.PENANAlOr4IXnrTm
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 936Please respect copyright.PENANAq4rSYqyaGw
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.936Please respect copyright.PENANA2YR2GKOXMO
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.936Please respect copyright.PENANAFelaaqFP4x
"Alright," I said 936Please respect copyright.PENANApWMTuh0WZX
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 936Please respect copyright.PENANA5oY05lVqUz
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like936Please respect copyright.PENANAi79uzBsbZq
I was only making things worse.936Please respect copyright.PENANAy0jMPNh4tF
Before I turned to leave936Please respect copyright.PENANAZYTZNEHJux
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 936Please respect copyright.PENANAp5DzUEbZDF
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 936Please respect copyright.PENANA1sT2Tnx9yX
one.936Please respect copyright.PENANA7w4gcVXnrS
***936Please respect copyright.PENANAwdStnXoHjd
I sat on the couch all 936Please respect copyright.PENANANfqoUzzQR1
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued936Please respect copyright.PENANAGy4R7CmWkc
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"936Please respect copyright.PENANAfwr1c91842
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAMsFg9FPfx4
I had a box of paper 936Please respect copyright.PENANAy4cjzpEQup
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my936Please respect copyright.PENANA2O55dt1akK
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 936Please respect copyright.PENANAFAe4l47PpC
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.936Please respect copyright.PENANApet2xxsvNQ
I continued watching the936Please respect copyright.PENANAZIiqUW9Znn
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 936Please respect copyright.PENANAaLM0iPGe1F
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.936Please respect copyright.PENANAE6GBYEWakX
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.936Please respect copyright.PENANABC9IJXlVd5
"Never better," I said, 936Please respect copyright.PENANAZVZxEtJLIr
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 936Please respect copyright.PENANABVZAhysOzW
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."936Please respect copyright.PENANAbgYgOOPkOC
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.936Please respect copyright.PENANAJYsDekFGoC
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.936Please respect copyright.PENANAtwLomtgxb2
"Ya, I'm actually enjoying it," I said as I put in a spoonful of chicken soup in my mouth. Mmm, it was so tasty.936Please respect copyright.PENANAbskkswobei
"And the others?" 936Please respect copyright.PENANAk5fX2eL5g9
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.936Please respect copyright.PENANAozJMy4ZifF
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.936Please respect copyright.PENANAvyv0EPYcwu
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAivNofcqvvI
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.936Please respect copyright.PENANAeJoFRQ5D7J
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.936Please respect copyright.PENANAlGACgoGpaU
"You don't know or you are?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAzev7cuX20N
I shrugged my shoulders. To be completely honest, I am still mad, but then again, I felt like I wasn't and that felt confusing.936Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ztk5BEdId
"I don't know, Tae," I 936Please respect copyright.PENANAlqU8o2AmfN
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 936Please respect copyright.PENANAznFzn6Qns7
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 936Please respect copyright.PENANAVvTFAxUtnU
forget all that happened yesterday."936Please respect copyright.PENANATT9fEh3ggc
"Ya, I understand. They 936Please respect copyright.PENANArR6F5wGcwA
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 936Please respect copyright.PENANADrjxPBkbOh
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were936Please respect copyright.PENANAQrQDcopGlc
going to get."936Please respect copyright.PENANAl9FymYP6BY
I looked on at Taeyang 936Please respect copyright.PENANA7bDoVpOrGU
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 936Please respect copyright.PENANAnniy094fDh
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 936Please respect copyright.PENANAvk839hV1T2
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 936Please respect copyright.PENANAhPg7UbAxOE
who was as tough as nails.936Please respect copyright.PENANAKFq8Hh7jbe
Last night, I took the 936Please respect copyright.PENANAnxYbrsOWFw
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 936Please respect copyright.PENANASaImmwSDfM
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 936Please respect copyright.PENANAaIdcq1eizI
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 936Please respect copyright.PENANAuKndhQKMuR
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 936Please respect copyright.PENANA8X9a35ZRl2
Apparently, the managers936Please respect copyright.PENANA7eepQjP4gm
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 936Please respect copyright.PENANAykKPmkULY7
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought936Please respect copyright.PENANASPrS9dFq9T
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 936Please respect copyright.PENANAZcmBz9F1wN
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 936Please respect copyright.PENANAfeBIQm3g4C
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 936Please respect copyright.PENANA8AZyKzitAm
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 936Please respect copyright.PENANAimaspktQlC
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 936Please respect copyright.PENANA3RM5MTgGmj
and the reporters.936Please respect copyright.PENANA9q1XbEP29Y
After my confrontation 936Please respect copyright.PENANABO0BU8wyEa
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I936Please respect copyright.PENANAHGlHA4Lwy0
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,936Please respect copyright.PENANAa5nwhOi9Rs
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.936Please respect copyright.PENANAmjA4wEOSMF
"Huh, I guess am still upset," I said, as I took in another spoon of soup in my mouth. "Especially after what GD did to me."936Please respect copyright.PENANAgoA8Efr7AU
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.936Please respect copyright.PENANAd34SYw856T
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."936Please respect copyright.PENANA3iWrfrgWSS
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."936Please respect copyright.PENANABTjHEC9SN2
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."936Please respect copyright.PENANAYHIp5NnvXj
"Have you tried talking to GD?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAboYYeqPtNv
"To be honest, I haven't936Please respect copyright.PENANA0vncXDZtt9
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 936Please respect copyright.PENANAojPGWg4sCi
slap him in the face if I see him."936Please respect copyright.PENANAaszkezNteX
"I don't doubt that."936Please respect copyright.PENANAQNeseAxEwN
"And thank goodness my 936Please respect copyright.PENANA1cUBUV3IT0
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 936Please respect copyright.PENANA1IDng3FFRd
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I936Please respect copyright.PENANADLfSVGR8Yz
want to do is watch some TV."936Please respect copyright.PENANAjecmkiWm2u
I quickly drank my 936Please respect copyright.PENANA8DSoKmyXf0
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 936Please respect copyright.PENANAPWGL2TNDaP
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 936Please respect copyright.PENANAgMJXtbd05j
to.936Please respect copyright.PENANADY1yu96mZ8
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.936Please respect copyright.PENANAU8iLNJvOlF
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.936Please respect copyright.PENANANH2zH13knr
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAVwgYkc3r7t
"Nope."936Please respect copyright.PENANAzJAn8Y3Nsi
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.936Please respect copyright.PENANACoSkdzs3V1
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANArYX4vegJ8Q
Taeyang didn't say 936Please respect copyright.PENANAdF9WYB397B
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened936Please respect copyright.PENANAhlhn6PkIRB
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."936Please respect copyright.PENANAyAOLHG0aUO
"I know you fought or 936Please respect copyright.PENANAJvYAdKTc9A
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAGYqxOiFS29
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."936Please respect copyright.PENANAZMSDiLVeT8
I noticed Taeyang smile 936Please respect copyright.PENANA8oXruuNNR9
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 936Please respect copyright.PENANAgfw1SIs6Kv
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 936Please respect copyright.PENANAi7PGjgam7K
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.936Please respect copyright.PENANAC24CbzS6Xw
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.936Please respect copyright.PENANABOPpP4WCFh
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."936Please respect copyright.PENANAp8ny6L3cXz
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?936Please respect copyright.PENANA2ecCjiTxZq
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.936Please respect copyright.PENANADfa9zMREkd
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."936Please respect copyright.PENANAReqIdnSmvW
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."936Please respect copyright.PENANA6PARYEpGaQ
Before I could finish my936Please respect copyright.PENANAHoIqK08brW
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 936Please respect copyright.PENANAzmKC0vwrEp
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.936Please respect copyright.PENANAZq2f9MUkgt
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.936Please respect copyright.PENANAumbo9pxMSv
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.936Please respect copyright.PENANA4RrcbVji5c
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."936Please respect copyright.PENANAGylJIxNjSE
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."936Please respect copyright.PENANAVA3Q8iFJ5N
"Yep, cheers to that." 936Please respect copyright.PENANAsDHbQTEmIj
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANA93XgvWzeyZ
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.936Please respect copyright.PENANA3pSM6Az776
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAUPULrp5ihT
"We can't work on it without you," said Taeyang. "You and G-Dragon decided that the both of you would work on it together."936Please respect copyright.PENANAlutXhigSke
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."936Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZLYZLAmr0
"Wow, that sounds personal."936Please respect copyright.PENANAZz5vACnKQJ
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."936Please respect copyright.PENANAf7n6C0d3fk
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"936Please respect copyright.PENANA3wKOs5nIcu
"I think I've a better 936Please respect copyright.PENANA1fTuiQuXFJ
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 936Please respect copyright.PENANAYmV8G8bwDL
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 936Please respect copyright.PENANACXVV7YOgVV
lyrics. It's better that way."936Please respect copyright.PENANAARYCum7SgL
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAy84ntkg10X
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."936Please respect copyright.PENANA9nz2wa1ya0
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."936Please respect copyright.PENANAk0aKND7Ro2
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."936Please respect copyright.PENANAB0uOptjgLU
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."936Please respect copyright.PENANAngPgqeNXcC
"Haha, good point."936Please respect copyright.PENANAvKseHLrX8M
Taeyang and I continued 936Please respect copyright.PENANAtcgKV2irsB
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 936Please respect copyright.PENANANHbsj0wNcw
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 936Please respect copyright.PENANAjGGyQy5eLI
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we936Please respect copyright.PENANAJzKhzsXkFy
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 936Please respect copyright.PENANA6AvJBqebyx
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 936Please respect copyright.PENANAZXKbo7GDvk
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 936Please respect copyright.PENANASTj7X5wmEv
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 936Please respect copyright.PENANAADo6HbzrBs
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.936Please respect copyright.PENANAtpgkKFnvfR
While the two of us were936Please respect copyright.PENANA96cv1htyBM
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,936Please respect copyright.PENANAG76mdA1e0n
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAglsYrbqnmt
I quickly went over to 936Please respect copyright.PENANAWycm7PPaen
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was936Please respect copyright.PENANAJhbXfRKHhY
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung936Please respect copyright.PENANAZw1qhpAyUz
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could936Please respect copyright.PENANAYmSD5hzYWB
come up and I put the receiver down.936Please respect copyright.PENANAFnxbAoQ05g
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."936Please respect copyright.PENANAk3FRqZyaLE
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."936Please respect copyright.PENANAWRkBAn3Kt5
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."936Please respect copyright.PENANA60kdIFSeSe
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.936Please respect copyright.PENANADK07f3dPmH
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.936Please respect copyright.PENANAMrKb3smJ01
"Eww, that pillow 936Please respect copyright.PENANArf9OeHQHRK
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 936Please respect copyright.PENANAjkpGyzx2nt
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.936Please respect copyright.PENANA0sW4VOFJpp
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.936Please respect copyright.PENANAUSMV3XkcwQ
A few seconds later, we 936Please respect copyright.PENANAIHY0wtnnB5
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 936Please respect copyright.PENANAb2RbOfTtMs
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 936Please respect copyright.PENANAxtXyepP535
holding a box of chocolates.936Please respect copyright.PENANACa2vZBh5WG
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.936Please respect copyright.PENANANI0N0Ifedf
"Ah, no, the panda is a 936Please respect copyright.PENANA1kgCOKZ6EO
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 936Please respect copyright.PENANAyo5mbHoJOL
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 936Please respect copyright.PENANAmrDvSrFVeZ
same time.936Please respect copyright.PENANADMYlb9i01y
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."936Please respect copyright.PENANALSH3fvXn27
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.936Please respect copyright.PENANAQ95W464ldy
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAzyQ66PuurS
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."936Please respect copyright.PENANApVrbDnqud9
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.936Please respect copyright.PENANAag5Jw9FsdE
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.936Please respect copyright.PENANAayaFVMkvSh
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."936Please respect copyright.PENANAE2gynccSUX
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.936Please respect copyright.PENANAHHKcvxHhgn
"For goodness sake, I 936Please respect copyright.PENANAdDa6mpmsA4
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 936Please respect copyright.PENANAf6ttMHVtzf
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 936Please respect copyright.PENANAyuYuaztZNk
scared with me."936Please respect copyright.PENANALzbCySU4dl
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.936Please respect copyright.PENANAtqUzzWpAq5
I took the panda in my 936Please respect copyright.PENANAGgDxa0QBro
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 936Please respect copyright.PENANAleMOjbVlPo
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 936Please respect copyright.PENANAYnguEOCyAj
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 936Please respect copyright.PENANALq7bfQmJWR
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.936Please respect copyright.PENANAb8WNUPuI0X
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."936Please respect copyright.PENANA87n4I9EHSI
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."936Please respect copyright.PENANA1zQ7EPACdI
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAlxYPlpLFSL
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.936Please respect copyright.PENANATxpRuN9cEE
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."936Please respect copyright.PENANAEo7BVfbdjS
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I936Please respect copyright.PENANABTFrb9UT8e
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 936Please respect copyright.PENANAnPxbT7QUbv
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 936Please respect copyright.PENANAfP4VM51rQ3
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."936Please respect copyright.PENANAExFA69Y39X
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."936Please respect copyright.PENANAOv0ICqSL2S
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."936Please respect copyright.PENANAtl62iDnpo4
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.936Please respect copyright.PENANAHI12A89Jd2
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."936Please respect copyright.PENANAcZEAZHUfwF
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.936Please respect copyright.PENANAS1rJCUSBnq
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."936Please respect copyright.PENANASsAsHrosgQ
"Ya, I do."936Please respect copyright.PENANAsDuw4pKEsz
While the four of us 936Please respect copyright.PENANAhax1HlYdVl
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 936Please respect copyright.PENANARajjbCtt66
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 936Please respect copyright.PENANAPplWEqFeUt
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 936Please respect copyright.PENANAlSezU8rgTE
said:936Please respect copyright.PENANAFbEvhNj5nx
"Hey, Zoey." 936Please respect copyright.PENANAES7iM3CTLW
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAygX6G6IiX4
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."936Please respect copyright.PENANAOuHNqWxzHs
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.936Please respect copyright.PENANAxQZvTPUMdK
"It's good you came to 936Please respect copyright.PENANApDL8lXaijE
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 936Please respect copyright.PENANAIR20js6QWh
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 936Please respect copyright.PENANAHhDcudBOx6
couch.936Please respect copyright.PENANAXVjDGEj63v
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"936Please respect copyright.PENANAK5YHrdycgu
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"936Please respect copyright.PENANAWv48QfVtwg
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAf5cOLGysk1
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAY1Z3xvplLy
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.936Please respect copyright.PENANAqtHWHQWEgP
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.936Please respect copyright.PENANAIs96jfTp47
I tugged at my panda's 936Please respect copyright.PENANAOvhK79GpPQ
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it936Please respect copyright.PENANAxsjJn6ZymQ
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking936Please respect copyright.PENANABZZLCbxXwP
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.936Please respect copyright.PENANAh5CXugj874
The Toxins came back to 936Please respect copyright.PENANArFFdWX5UIg
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held936Please respect copyright.PENANAjJIS3LEEVX
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine936Please respect copyright.PENANAVVeOqLTCjw
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.936Please respect copyright.PENANAxJxHCTDJxJ
For a moment, no one 936Please respect copyright.PENANA5x49s4hmE5
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 936Please respect copyright.PENANAmhaVVOxfq7
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.936Please respect copyright.PENANAOUADc0SUFa
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.936Please respect copyright.PENANAJhofeI5jUc
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAboKGiaytHk
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.936Please respect copyright.PENANAyV1bItL4RF
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."936Please respect copyright.PENANAcpq4hUAgH3
I stared up at the 936Please respect copyright.PENANAqbXdH5Vexw
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 936Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ8LpCGKDH
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.936Please respect copyright.PENANAHjsSokZFKl
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."936Please respect copyright.PENANAilLBmQLYXQ
When Zoey tried to reach936Please respect copyright.PENANAOx5ZFXPNKg
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 936Please respect copyright.PENANAUqGaA8tEoM
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.936Please respect copyright.PENANAFcB6ZL2eWF
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.936Please respect copyright.PENANAQDVrdvcCVX
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.936Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q96wqhory
Zoey looked hurt with 936Please respect copyright.PENANAg6OsdQjWm0
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 936Please respect copyright.PENANAJSVL9sUzXB
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.936Please respect copyright.PENANAyeUSaiZzDs
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAwC31YcpjMi
I didn't answer as I put936Please respect copyright.PENANAAI8iWSnehi
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I936Please respect copyright.PENANAJmwuVG2jxT
was still mad, especially at Zoey.936Please respect copyright.PENANA98b92sOb7V
"I know it's a little 936Please respect copyright.PENANAXGdLw3LnXe
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 936Please respect copyright.PENANAG6xGRgKiVc
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 936Please respect copyright.PENANAXrMNRTEm6g
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 936Please respect copyright.PENANAZuCWdSKhLc
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAVZha71LHvc
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 936Please respect copyright.PENANAwfa8JDSskU
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."936Please respect copyright.PENANAXr4uLmUpIo
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.936Please respect copyright.PENANAg7Phzhn1jW
"I don't like it when 936Please respect copyright.PENANAtyGJEEJZsU
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 936Please respect copyright.PENANAvWs5dNYfLO
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 936Please respect copyright.PENANA3ioODuEmbv
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 936Please respect copyright.PENANA3kecjfM9Ot
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 936Please respect copyright.PENANANUWfVaX4X9
sorry, Sam."936Please respect copyright.PENANASHR9YgKb0h
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."936Please respect copyright.PENANAmV9Hr21tud
"I'm sorry too," said 936Please respect copyright.PENANAfmPsG38Yqk
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 936Please respect copyright.PENANA44rYxOrnMR
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 936Please respect copyright.PENANAfonswtTFuX
for you to talk to us again."936Please respect copyright.PENANAyKrfnkqYmS
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 936Please respect copyright.PENANAELO05ySLSD
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 936Please respect copyright.PENANAh12PkA13Xc
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 936Please respect copyright.PENANAlnfVyj28YY
leader."936Please respect copyright.PENANA2AD0kpYn2F
I still didn't say a 936Please respect copyright.PENANA4I41vHFKTk
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 936Please respect copyright.PENANAnebgQhnzxN
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 936Please respect copyright.PENANAc6tR7CQ9mm
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 936Please respect copyright.PENANADe0A7XCRek
them despite the awful things they put me through.936Please respect copyright.PENANAX7bOeW15oB
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAaCBnsI83Kb
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."936Please respect copyright.PENANABNzjGNAc6F
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.936Please respect copyright.PENANACOIonNig2I
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.936Please respect copyright.PENANAq1kS1447u5
"I'm mad and pretty much936Please respect copyright.PENANA0iiApFgMa3
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 936Please respect copyright.PENANApSrSfRVBA4
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."936Please respect copyright.PENANANdAF2et4Vp
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAR6e6I4wqzf
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."936Please respect copyright.PENANADBvPRc5Si0
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.936Please respect copyright.PENANAP8F8c48yvV
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 936Please respect copyright.PENANAPf4OUqofhN
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 936Please respect copyright.PENANA98wY0Z2IKy
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."936Please respect copyright.PENANAy9wyPpcW2m
"Ah, you! Always acting 936Please respect copyright.PENANAQSrbZWgJx4
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 936Please respect copyright.PENANA8QjyI9tweb
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 936Please respect copyright.PENANA0EiLULQHnt
catch it anyway."936Please respect copyright.PENANAbYRxgS2WCH
Christine, Daniel and 936Please respect copyright.PENANAgL5w9ZY41p
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAo9axrDITSr
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 936Please respect copyright.PENANA4DVkoLZFiU
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.936Please respect copyright.PENANAulYoaJIKuJ
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.936Please respect copyright.PENANAaoW4Nhr5nm
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.936Please respect copyright.PENANAMNsd1kWlid
"Ya, I'm glad we did," I said, as I felt my nose twitch. "Can you guys please stop hugging me, I'm about to...."936Please respect copyright.PENANAF3wfQN1Qty
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.936Please respect copyright.PENANAscVWQ3FhrA
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."936Please respect copyright.PENANAkYeX4nOIP7
"Don't worry, you won't 936Please respect copyright.PENANAlvJJgPk4Wk
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 936Please respect copyright.PENANAv5DHX2pQ2f
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.936Please respect copyright.PENANACLDQxLA3Pa
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.936Please respect copyright.PENANAtuD6ur3y0Y
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.936Please respect copyright.PENANAiRL6KO2QiS
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAOd1vcEuG1F
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."936Please respect copyright.PENANA1TykDf3O5V
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.936Please respect copyright.PENANAkVD7Fqxlum
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAIFrdA58wTO
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAv8ydSe5eF8
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."936Please respect copyright.PENANA0iNhaRBdS0
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.936Please respect copyright.PENANAmfULl1Ao56
At that moment, I had 936Please respect copyright.PENANAiSnwCq6G8A
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.936Please respect copyright.PENANAwUjdIN7qXh
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.936Please respect copyright.PENANAQN4Qx8qECA
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANApqy4QFpbo9
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.936Please respect copyright.PENANA1X1IQgIcuu
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."936Please respect copyright.PENANA9A95BqM6TM
Zoey got the box of 936Please respect copyright.PENANAPJg0Icd66M
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 936Please respect copyright.PENANA49tRkvugL9
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.936Please respect copyright.PENANAbLvrQW2wGh
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.936Please respect copyright.PENANARHk7uFrb79
I was in the passage as I936Please respect copyright.PENANADavl8rRXeh
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 936Please respect copyright.PENANAWpClAj671D
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed936Please respect copyright.PENANATGaEvn1z06
in what felt like sadness.936Please respect copyright.PENANADQZjpRnUlP
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.936Please respect copyright.PENANASi6WXnReWh
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."936Please respect copyright.PENANA1iXQgV323w
I heard his footsteps 936Please respect copyright.PENANA6JzryqodjB
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 936Please respect copyright.PENANAZLtXpF8XtW
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.936Please respect copyright.PENANAMKZ3amt4sJ
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAvhLtDhCXwE
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAqOi5W8oCJT
"Are we really do this right now?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAQwzGSWu3x8
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 936Please respect copyright.PENANAfKyqXDFbd0
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.936Please respect copyright.PENANAvhgwlhqrgU
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAsOQoF9t398
"Nope." 936Please respect copyright.PENANA5fo2dsyCmF
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."936Please respect copyright.PENANA1FtwmlOXd2
My eyes almost felt like936Please respect copyright.PENANA88sSxtSaAJ
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 936Please respect copyright.PENANA6eK3rHxgyq
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.936Please respect copyright.PENANAuOgSxz2Q1S
I turned to look at him 936Please respect copyright.PENANAJ49oJuE6Xl
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 936Please respect copyright.PENANABN1zoHJjco
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.936Please respect copyright.PENANAXVctbtqmMR
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.936Please respect copyright.PENANAXNyVtoG4Gc
"That you're surrounded 936Please respect copyright.PENANAhRRiTcUurQ
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 936Please respect copyright.PENANAg42JmP5rCN
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 936Please respect copyright.PENANAPUqKzP18DG
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."936Please respect copyright.PENANANtSeVrPETU
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 936Please respect copyright.PENANAleKT1FhbMo
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."936Please respect copyright.PENANA0kBd5tm7LS
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"936Please respect copyright.PENANA8gy0zZkNsl
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."936Please respect copyright.PENANA4Csgm5HnXx
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."936Please respect copyright.PENANAHiQ6Ch8O4K
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAFLz6jp4OzM
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."936Please respect copyright.PENANAKVQivwN1Mo
Apparently, I couldn't 936Please respect copyright.PENANAj6D46ayKY1
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 936Please respect copyright.PENANAyrDaSPSASr
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 936Please respect copyright.PENANAk9yFBvmMJf
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 936Please respect copyright.PENANA0HGhGgftMO
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 936Please respect copyright.PENANAqtzDurK6Ln
death.936Please respect copyright.PENANAoywieth7Uq
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.936Please respect copyright.PENANAcLESeiNd7q
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."936Please respect copyright.PENANAAzQ3x2Z42H
Taeyang folded his arms 936Please respect copyright.PENANAQLMYAv8IkT
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think936Please respect copyright.PENANAMXzpv8SJCh
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."936Please respect copyright.PENANAUE23yBhi8X
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.936Please respect copyright.PENANAYcyVp0Liie
"You're may think you're936Please respect copyright.PENANAy5p5xtlhil
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 936Please respect copyright.PENANAKmfXuuURra
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 936Please respect copyright.PENANAUQmE0gxOu4
but feeling hurt."936Please respect copyright.PENANA9I5LIob92h
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.936Please respect copyright.PENANAskZyzRiW9Y
"But I wouldn't feel 936Please respect copyright.PENANAcyFUkbWORZ
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 936Please respect copyright.PENANAvXWSsvZvuf
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 936Please respect copyright.PENANAJgYjI9k8A2
at Taeyang.936Please respect copyright.PENANAEsQdvKQKoR
Taeyang gave me that 936Please respect copyright.PENANAPef2Y1fGFA
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 936Please respect copyright.PENANAUHYJS2fsQ9
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 936Please respect copyright.PENANAJEF926JxF8
while in return, he nodded.936Please respect copyright.PENANAHESwssSXnz
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAcLjg7ISnnt
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."936Please respect copyright.PENANA702mRN3Whi
I didn't say a word as I936Please respect copyright.PENANAQf25G7upwO
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my936Please respect copyright.PENANA1SepIYrhzk
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 936Please respect copyright.PENANAYPJvEODXe4
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 936Please respect copyright.PENANA522zzVdfkc
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.936Please respect copyright.PENANAY8kcDXaJF8
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."936Please respect copyright.PENANA0rUob4DMHU
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."936Please respect copyright.PENANAjHVvAPMdeG
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."936Please respect copyright.PENANAAP5vd0CbP5
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"936Please respect copyright.PENANABecxXiXgsl
If there was ever a way I936Please respect copyright.PENANAcAENMZSflg
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 936Please respect copyright.PENANAJpdB0Y5JYM
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 936Please respect copyright.PENANAEwqif1affu
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.936Please respect copyright.PENANAckyKbUSqpi
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAvo5NtKTh8r
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAczY0lB6PKM
When I came out, I still found Taeyang where I had left him and the two of us went to join the others entering the elevator.936Please respect copyright.PENANAYK3TyIDDx5
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.936Please respect copyright.PENANAjWBzZQCiO5
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAMxjIjxuryw
"Well, I'm just asking,"936Please respect copyright.PENANAxYh2kePAA7
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,936Please respect copyright.PENANAl6I60Ytsrt
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."936Please respect copyright.PENANASkwnQTwBVZ
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.936Please respect copyright.PENANAsfQkobnQc8
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.936Please respect copyright.PENANAm9mqF4O0EY
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.936Please respect copyright.PENANAOp0qEUOozw
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.936Please respect copyright.PENANAztgfJAXdpo
I pressed the button 936Please respect copyright.PENANAVAcmYhw6Y5
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 936Please respect copyright.PENANA7DW4T8u6re
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 936Please respect copyright.PENANA95qh5ovnJA
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.936Please respect copyright.PENANAdy4JypMtyg
We went to the main 936Please respect copyright.PENANAEo37TLhH0X
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for936Please respect copyright.PENANAYnwJ0P8btp
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 936Please respect copyright.PENANAOHYYDkybcG
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.936Please respect copyright.PENANAX3pNnMsCFu
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.936Please respect copyright.PENANAMwYBrrw6pt
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 936Please respect copyright.PENANA0oagaWnTPq
"To be honest, we just 936Please respect copyright.PENANAvx4VAyjiK0
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAUkNcBy0yiZ
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."936Please respect copyright.PENANAC1iJaeE0LV
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.936Please respect copyright.PENANAeJbyYMmsuY
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.936Please respect copyright.PENANAtrpEJbqnU2
We all got to the table and before I could pull out my chair, Taeyang pulled the chair out for me and I glady sat.936Please respect copyright.PENANAhfMHB3UHhm
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.936Please respect copyright.PENANAn0KnvnKree
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.936Please respect copyright.PENANAN3ABRvXcMp
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.936Please respect copyright.PENANA63NUIk8q6g
"Nah, I don't think so,"936Please respect copyright.PENANAuftp66pf2b
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so936Please respect copyright.PENANAXJtAOrMsED
he would be treating me like that."936Please respect copyright.PENANAlcyNzOKz5U
"Mmm, I don't think so,"936Please respect copyright.PENANAjiqEfv1Q6s
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 936Please respect copyright.PENANAgWFFN3MgbL
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAO1mohxqszN
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."936Please respect copyright.PENANAtzpJAKexIc
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.936Please respect copyright.PENANAmYiHLgerw9
"Then, stop trying to make one."936Please respect copyright.PENANALNwzzIJamT
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."936Please respect copyright.PENANA3r5Wb5jefn
"Ya, me too," said Mike.936Please respect copyright.PENANAq0lrA2hrxQ
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.936Please respect copyright.PENANAa7T2uRewnA
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"936Please respect copyright.PENANANPJzEUNGp9
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.936Please respect copyright.PENANAjpnPXeZicv
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."936Please respect copyright.PENANAVNQw4d2wnr
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAk8Nj6ps4P3
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.936Please respect copyright.PENANA60ucYdzJ5k
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."936Please respect copyright.PENANAVWzvFc1jD9
I didn't even dare try 936Please respect copyright.PENANAQpc9JVaOPj
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 936Please respect copyright.PENANAvoluyrmVPf
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.936Please respect copyright.PENANALlMu6VIEJX
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAdq4IA3E2HO
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAGPrNw9cmwj
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.936Please respect copyright.PENANALq4TirFHfU
I heard footsteps coming936Please respect copyright.PENANAh4eHKDoRkP
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 936Please respect copyright.PENANA7aHf1q8WKv
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 936Please respect copyright.PENANASuefQvn4sm
look at me.936Please respect copyright.PENANArUhdgNpOqS
"Are you okay?" he whispered.936Please respect copyright.PENANAwncyIj8mad
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.936Please respect copyright.PENANA5JjYroV1Yr
I soon felt strong hands936Please respect copyright.PENANAejYpgXnVuy
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD936Please respect copyright.PENANAe7tBPQiAuA
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.936Please respect copyright.PENANAvYo0Qlq9a3
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAN8UBj425jq
"I'm a whole lot better,936Please respect copyright.PENANAhDkwNiMdRe
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 936Please respect copyright.PENANAqm6ArGuuQI
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.936Please respect copyright.PENANAWJHvQmHem4
"Glad to hear that."936Please respect copyright.PENANAd7VHWiBZMA
When TOP let go of my shoulders and walked away to take his seat next to Mike, I heard G-Dragon's voice behind me.936Please respect copyright.PENANALat3rHA1ol
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."936Please respect copyright.PENANA8GkpL0P3jO
I was planning not to 936Please respect copyright.PENANAqikMGIUNum
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 936Please respect copyright.PENANASmuPUw7gWQ
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 936Please respect copyright.PENANALGLNFBQ30S
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to936Please respect copyright.PENANAKOAkKljpiA
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 936Please respect copyright.PENANALnsdkyDuKk
under the bridge.936Please respect copyright.PENANAiTmzakEt2D
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."936Please respect copyright.PENANAJlty3Ua5hQ
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANADRcdsU028J
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."936Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ8b0ZuT7C
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."936Please respect copyright.PENANA15qhCpL0wz
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.936Please respect copyright.PENANAzvq7U92Qbd
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.936Please respect copyright.PENANADLVEl5bgIG
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAjsfQURkmyJ
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."936Please respect copyright.PENANAPpG5ROf3gp
The waiters soon came 936Please respect copyright.PENANA8z4CPdncSK
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.936Please respect copyright.PENANADnJQARrVLy
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 936Please respect copyright.PENANAce2PbfsOgV
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 936Please respect copyright.PENANA1g7zyOFqWg
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.936Please respect copyright.PENANAgGxl1092ct
For a moment, I felt 936Please respect copyright.PENANAXc4WH9jNTa
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 936Please respect copyright.PENANA93oAuUOwSi
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 936Please respect copyright.PENANA3xgc7CBUu2
me to forget that I was ever mad.936Please respect copyright.PENANAMk4qnsCskn
"Mmm, this is so 936Please respect copyright.PENANAddNYPdS9KZ
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 936Please respect copyright.PENANAbgdxT0tveA
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."936Please respect copyright.PENANAKWKnv6yq2r
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."936Please respect copyright.PENANAmxLwfxNqy1
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."936Please respect copyright.PENANALygegEpBuM
"Anything for you, Sam,"936Please respect copyright.PENANAlmbjG9hXNs
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 936Please respect copyright.PENANAkGiUIvT7ud
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."936Please respect copyright.PENANAZHgEFjxMiF
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAsqX9fg5Ixv
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.936Please respect copyright.PENANA2IOkz1c6bX
I had just taken in some936Please respect copyright.PENANAnNpMEF73Vn
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 936Please respect copyright.PENANAC5LdwQgftA
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly936Please respect copyright.PENANA7D1NXCaRto
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 936Please respect copyright.PENANAXI5CNR54JY
just said.936Please respect copyright.PENANA31AeP97rG6
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAJGtOVqZDoU
"Well, ya," Christine 936Please respect copyright.PENANA7LncPubDtS
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 936Please respect copyright.PENANAgh4rfgR12I
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 936Please respect copyright.PENANANphS4lKrDq
special lunch to lighten your mood."936Please respect copyright.PENANABrYSEx1oNF
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.936Please respect copyright.PENANAuyFeUuS8pR
"Thanks for the lunch, 936Please respect copyright.PENANAUdOwoWhYUw
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so936Please respect copyright.PENANAWUIWXqBwjg
sweet of you to have come up with this."936Please respect copyright.PENANAjuyQdlPJjL
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.936Please respect copyright.PENANAIUfi3UIJVd
I almost felt like 936Please respect copyright.PENANATxXcbWwhsg
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 936Please respect copyright.PENANAXNtn9iMxDL
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare936Please respect copyright.PENANA5gVxEajjqA
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 936Please respect copyright.PENANApRxEv4fYtn
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 936Please respect copyright.PENANAPPOWyt9DYT
turning into rage?936Please respect copyright.PENANA4D202jtXIN
Oh, goodness. I needed 936Please respect copyright.PENANAPcqD0d0qdO
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 936Please respect copyright.PENANAKmC5fKURQ8
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 936Please respect copyright.PENANAYDBDbDFf9E
I tried to push aside 936Please respect copyright.PENANAohgCw9PPQs
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 936Please respect copyright.PENANA1ckqitQgSk
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 936Please respect copyright.PENANAJuhv3xBAZM
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 936Please respect copyright.PENANAdYRB2bCZfu
chocolate moussé.936Please respect copyright.PENANA5PA2eafVBD
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,936Please respect copyright.PENANAFLeDJOwaZP
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 936Please respect copyright.PENANAHKTnooKgSv
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.936Please respect copyright.PENANAMPPUl0rq8E
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.936Please respect copyright.PENANACG6JM2NqiR
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."936Please respect copyright.PENANA684AddOfz8
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.936Please respect copyright.PENANAMJR0pU2KOp
I didn't wait for 936Please respect copyright.PENANAGiHyxhzxoP
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I936Please respect copyright.PENANAH2TdKHu9XD
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed936Please respect copyright.PENANAiEOHSeYZ0J
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 936Please respect copyright.PENANAAg4DJkjKzL
heaven.936Please respect copyright.PENANA2l8roiJYSQ
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.936Please respect copyright.PENANAKf15ewrbjr
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."936Please respect copyright.PENANATata2ILcNy
"I don't care," I said 936Please respect copyright.PENANAQz7JHLbrFQ
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 936Please respect copyright.PENANAAF1shRZYLw
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."936Please respect copyright.PENANAKzcCC07I3N
G-Dragon smiled back at 936Please respect copyright.PENANAYuqoEJ331y
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 936Please respect copyright.PENANAWW8Y8LQ0g7
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 936Please respect copyright.PENANAebv09fGaEJ
away.936Please respect copyright.PENANA5Kq7aTJtU4
After dessert, we all 936Please respect copyright.PENANAqaDrYstu1e
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 936Please respect copyright.PENANAuSXVepMDAN
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 936Please respect copyright.PENANAIF4cncGyIN
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 936Please respect copyright.PENANA4X34NhXTui
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 936Please respect copyright.PENANAQ23uFy6gZM
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 936Please respect copyright.PENANAmPLpTrD1PM
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.936Please respect copyright.PENANApFXA9jtxzG
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAzpT7CODNlc
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.936Please respect copyright.PENANAUrYBIDUDRL
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."936Please respect copyright.PENANAvhaK5LsC0F
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.936Please respect copyright.PENANAkM6cdOqyoO
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."936Please respect copyright.PENANAd03b3fs6xv
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."936Please respect copyright.PENANAciwJEQhWcZ
"What stuff?" TOP asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANA0moGvAkJWq
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAEzuJ01T3i6
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."936Please respect copyright.PENANABItP47PxdQ
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.936Please respect copyright.PENANAA7UBeFqIux
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.936Please respect copyright.PENANABKVcxzHHN1
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.936Please respect copyright.PENANAUurqgCRGxh
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.936Please respect copyright.PENANA1zjtfVqRfX
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."936Please respect copyright.PENANAt1RuhRJw1d
"Wait, what's going on?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAIryNf5uyD0
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAZAcbVpv9V0
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAhaeQ5Sgmk6
"I thought we should all936Please respect copyright.PENANAINbOXkA6iG
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 936Please respect copyright.PENANAh6bBN0uiso
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."936Please respect copyright.PENANA9iU0NvAl8f
"But why do we have to put our heads together if there is you and G-Dragon who are better at song writing?" TOP asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAtLkAJG9OVv
"I don't know, I feel we936Please respect copyright.PENANAA8P7CZmRPW
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.936Please respect copyright.PENANA0AMPsOpWgH
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out936Please respect copyright.PENANAlkexWcedxM
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."936Please respect copyright.PENANA49s0xGSujf
"I don't get it though,"936Please respect copyright.PENANAeOLw08oDXG
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 936Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vit0zcc8J
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write936Please respect copyright.PENANAxNeh9lhxO8
the lyrics?"936Please respect copyright.PENANABLcK9IZ1eW
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.936Please respect copyright.PENANAhYwenUZLuy
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAxtVvenU7Lp
This time, I also raised936Please respect copyright.PENANABxHRQaANkR
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 936Please respect copyright.PENANAMWLjhgVKrB
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.936Please respect copyright.PENANAMPkdYbAhL9
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANA4sYgGzOI4C
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.936Please respect copyright.PENANAXlsFxBvvQH
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.936Please respect copyright.PENANAbTPEerZbgy
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAZ86ijlvPC7
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."936Please respect copyright.PENANAVr3d5fUUJ0
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"936Please respect copyright.PENANASpmweYiOQO
By the way G-Dragon 936Please respect copyright.PENANAvBok1PhmYG
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 936Please respect copyright.PENANAMVqesMqDUg
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And936Please respect copyright.PENANAkgYMJyUTF2
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of936Please respect copyright.PENANAsr0uOQR9Ll
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.936Please respect copyright.PENANA18wNZgQxzX
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."936Please respect copyright.PENANAUP1Sr2VNRP
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAyfxPX7FHeK
"Maybe, it's because you're objecting to my idea and you just want to make up what would be a valid reason for it."936Please respect copyright.PENANAnDEVkIGzPg
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.936Please respect copyright.PENANAlnhaVp92SH
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 936Please respect copyright.PENANASFwCBV98Fh
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.936Please respect copyright.PENANA63zTGg1FQm
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."936Please respect copyright.PENANAIX9p0VnKT0
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."936Please respect copyright.PENANAeLU7v3uX3R
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."936Please respect copyright.PENANADk5ThHsbCT
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."936Please respect copyright.PENANA3GSGnn7lVc
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."936Please respect copyright.PENANAlCmQz4VSch
"What truth?" I asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAtcOpf5Em0y
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."936Please respect copyright.PENANASSwSk5k7sE
Taeyang was right. I was936Please respect copyright.PENANAmeKcVcXw4M
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 936Please respect copyright.PENANAfQJHGLRtG2
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 936Please respect copyright.PENANAYF6T6tUekl
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 936Please respect copyright.PENANAWPSLUBe3kS
attention.936Please respect copyright.PENANAsuOBER6Zn3
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."936Please respect copyright.PENANAFfMcpMwGDF
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."936Please respect copyright.PENANAmUNcCbvtqJ
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel936Please respect copyright.PENANAW5VTTpFEmn
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 936Please respect copyright.PENANAHNVzcbqd51
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!936Please respect copyright.PENANASYWpylBHAE
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.936Please respect copyright.PENANAzqVdXrDyQH
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.936Please respect copyright.PENANA3dkoe6HDin
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.936Please respect copyright.PENANAHbjhq5nXQp
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.936Please respect copyright.PENANAsNph8GNTDh
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.936Please respect copyright.PENANAiRc6DMfl2K
"But I....." 936Please respect copyright.PENANAhKdyJoprp4
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 936Please respect copyright.PENANAAzicLjXWpC
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've936Please respect copyright.PENANAnzEs4Av3kS
talked way too much, don't you think?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAhJGF8PnAke
That felt like a slap in936Please respect copyright.PENANAnnqNsU6aRx
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 936Please respect copyright.PENANApNus6JCwSj
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 936Please respect copyright.PENANAtE8o6PWOtp
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 936Please respect copyright.PENANAqnPiXpndts
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 936Please respect copyright.PENANAZsHIwRMNBW
about what I thought was best for the whole group?936Please respect copyright.PENANAks2sDA9yzt
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.936Please respect copyright.PENANAEMukrKw5dx
"That's fine with me," said Mike.936Please respect copyright.PENANAP6fARbEkeb
Everyone else agreed, 936Please respect copyright.PENANAh9yQ9nBPQv
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 936Please respect copyright.PENANAp28QVFGBRi
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 936Please respect copyright.PENANABUi3Bc2WPw
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 936Please respect copyright.PENANA0G9xuQ95iC
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 936Please respect copyright.PENANAnjllVeZgCr
B, just in case.936Please respect copyright.PENANAKgYssWe2HY
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.936Please respect copyright.PENANAfWjMQISjD2
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.936Please respect copyright.PENANAoxfwJMYK5h
"Not now, Sam. We will 936Please respect copyright.PENANADWDDDPJ5Kp
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 936Please respect copyright.PENANAZlJKsdWR8j
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 936Please respect copyright.PENANAxhhqvlrvLH
gave me goosebumps.936Please respect copyright.PENANAkQKSe3yG8j
"Way to go, Sam," said Zoey, as she also stood up from the table. "You just made him upset. I need to go calm him down."936Please respect copyright.PENANAX9c8xWiOQG
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 936Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8WaYtq2XL
One by one everyone 936Please respect copyright.PENANADY3YrQyYcI
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 936Please respect copyright.PENANAgHJ3c1yn1E
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem936Please respect copyright.PENANAqLcFuso2MU
appropriate.936Please respect copyright.PENANApvlNMszr6m
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.936Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q1kQSD6T5
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.936Please respect copyright.PENANAXZEEP247KZ
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.936Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ29RMb8on
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.936Please respect copyright.PENANAOkktPFFKUK
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."936Please respect copyright.PENANAh0VPdZMsny
"It's not that. I pissed936Please respect copyright.PENANArhckOGpx7j
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take936Please respect copyright.PENANApN0qQnqfL3
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."936Please respect copyright.PENANAxvt8XySum9
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."936Please respect copyright.PENANAXQKS9MYS0K
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."936Please respect copyright.PENANABNIEJeHjFx
Taeyang placed his hand 936Please respect copyright.PENANAr1WqTI8lJo
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He936Please respect copyright.PENANATLKBUz7Nt1
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.936Please respect copyright.PENANApDgjKEp0Mr
I knew I had to hope for936Please respect copyright.PENANAbcEVAoZ1r3
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut936Please respect copyright.PENANA77ar8P4hak
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 936Please respect copyright.PENANAPlSSzod7iK
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 936Please respect copyright.PENANABgOmURUr5j
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 936Please respect copyright.PENANAQR0EOmoA8E
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
