The water felt like a 969Please respect copyright.PENANA3kTq6ygjmB
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 969Please respect copyright.PENANAiMceWnCN6X
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAU4ObLmILQM
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 969Please respect copyright.PENANAgybIrGj5lc
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 969Please respect copyright.PENANAxcQhWmlc2b
breathe. 969Please respect copyright.PENANA45PcsByNRn
I pushed myself upwards 969Please respect copyright.PENANAAw5qlzTiKj
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of969Please respect copyright.PENANATN13SIlHDt
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 969Please respect copyright.PENANAlvsnY4Nmqj
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAG46qYFqBIb
edge.969Please respect copyright.PENANAm8RsvquBck
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.969Please respect copyright.PENANAMwMpcyvcbN
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.969Please respect copyright.PENANAVmDcBZNsGB
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.969Please respect copyright.PENANAs3XadpNRUq
I looked ridiculously 969Please respect copyright.PENANAA9fVIDpWPt
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 969Please respect copyright.PENANA0XqDntZN3p
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 969Please respect copyright.PENANAHSF16OrBi2
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 969Please respect copyright.PENANAVEM3ioPpNm
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 969Please respect copyright.PENANAPqsV56n5gn
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.969Please respect copyright.PENANAmnyijpRYQG
I looked around me and 969Please respect copyright.PENANAzhY2b3hAbS
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 969Please respect copyright.PENANALmUNFVZx6s
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 969Please respect copyright.PENANA6GSJurvrSl
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 969Please respect copyright.PENANABlIUYb92LL
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.969Please respect copyright.PENANAQwRjeIoaX2
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."969Please respect copyright.PENANAiWxLROQaku
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."969Please respect copyright.PENANAjRzOdshzgc
I heard Zoey and the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAnzS55xBtRa
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on969Please respect copyright.PENANAHYNiM7J6DB
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.969Please respect copyright.PENANAy3sSzqz88o
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAvvLZg6llmZ
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's969Please respect copyright.PENANAxWEjqsCdeE
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 969Please respect copyright.PENANAW2cB8gGJsu
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."969Please respect copyright.PENANABminqFF7RE
"I already told you, I'm969Please respect copyright.PENANA1TaFF3xDCn
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I969Please respect copyright.PENANA34uykypxHH
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 969Please respect copyright.PENANA0XuxWTAQ0E
from anyone.969Please respect copyright.PENANA71uXxmANhT
I made my way towards GD969Please respect copyright.PENANAEIQcdYhglB
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what969Please respect copyright.PENANAceLJqZ6fMu
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 969Please respect copyright.PENANAvQaX6ntlm8
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.969Please respect copyright.PENANACe1k9zbbP2
"Oh, man, Sam," said 969Please respect copyright.PENANAEId0DDY5AJ
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 969Please respect copyright.PENANA0dlNpB0A7z
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAnsilztF82B
game. Hope you didn't mind."969Please respect copyright.PENANAQE98yRXqh2
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."969Please respect copyright.PENANAUzaXjG2Nql
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."969Please respect copyright.PENANAOcfL0ObOkm
"I told you, our 969Please respect copyright.PENANA4VaCQHNitL
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 969Please respect copyright.PENANAnOcNmlHPL3
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 969Please respect copyright.PENANAUA8KsWooKN
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 969Please respect copyright.PENANA1QqzK5IUFW
Daesung.969Please respect copyright.PENANAKjXh8pWjnh
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.969Please respect copyright.PENANAmVeo7oCSOA
I dialled Lee's number 969Please respect copyright.PENANAVqvGDgnyOe
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 969Please respect copyright.PENANAegk3WXeXfO
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAi7ZG6PlnwG
They would know soon enough.969Please respect copyright.PENANANmsVBd3J0Y
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.969Please respect copyright.PENANAsC7kFL3Aaq
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.969Please respect copyright.PENANAimaIoXIJgc
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAbJfGlyzYSf
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAoFDSG6flHW
"No, not yet. But you 969Please respect copyright.PENANAc7B9oqQHZi
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And969Please respect copyright.PENANALfKtaOEjmD
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."969Please respect copyright.PENANALJ9vEseLXG
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."969Please respect copyright.PENANApm8zSeOTdn
"Okay, I'll be waiting."969Please respect copyright.PENANAKawBe2VSLx
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.969Please respect copyright.PENANAeCcW0L8UxL
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAvDj2nHFeRx
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."969Please respect copyright.PENANA95dUd5DSSi
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 969Please respect copyright.PENANANMmgrkdLFL
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."969Please respect copyright.PENANAZP1qi2nTB3
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.969Please respect copyright.PENANArzWvXneQyQ
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."969Please respect copyright.PENANAp0HvozxjrC
I shook my head. I was 969Please respect copyright.PENANAUUJHEFI7vY
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 969Please respect copyright.PENANAbcV97uSefo
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 969Please respect copyright.PENANAa8DmYQEqd5
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.969Please respect copyright.PENANAYzv6fuwish
After walking a few feet969Please respect copyright.PENANACLtBxJZODk
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 969Please respect copyright.PENANA7c07zkfUFn
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was969Please respect copyright.PENANAfHPIsfwDhz
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 969Please respect copyright.PENANAAfchpGj0us
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.969Please respect copyright.PENANA4oJvFqvE7v
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAqaReACgpYX
None of them answered as969Please respect copyright.PENANAte959xmaDB
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAV1yGQ8QUBM
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 969Please respect copyright.PENANAc5hpf9jMNZ
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.969Please respect copyright.PENANAzgqyiGUaCR
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.969Please respect copyright.PENANAZWtlch5eQ3
"I wasn't going to say 969Please respect copyright.PENANAauX2UvVJzQ
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing969Please respect copyright.PENANA36NhRbTeaA
you would want to hear from me is advice."969Please respect copyright.PENANADGNN31ZIM2
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAWtgbkrDOza
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.969Please respect copyright.PENANACrCUKovosn
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."969Please respect copyright.PENANANyNtWV2lEE
"I'm still upset, though."969Please respect copyright.PENANA3po4wlKbmS
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."969Please respect copyright.PENANAmlAghg5PTL
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."969Please respect copyright.PENANA6QPwHleRvZ
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."969Please respect copyright.PENANAuGRFHgS2Jn
I gave TOP an assuring 969Please respect copyright.PENANAy3aMhvjWeP
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way969Please respect copyright.PENANAOaDP6YWb9h
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAkeXeCQ5vlD
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I969Please respect copyright.PENANAW72Kf8Hd5K
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't969Please respect copyright.PENANAPPZP6La8MN
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 969Please respect copyright.PENANAvec35M5Ip8
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.969Please respect copyright.PENANAWr1wAYmJ6l
We all found ourselves 969Please respect copyright.PENANAItmbb37zTL
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins969Please respect copyright.PENANA62cHNKLC7b
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 969Please respect copyright.PENANAA6lamHIMPZ
were waiting for me. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAt7jyTTNaBE
"Hey, Sam, you don't 969Please respect copyright.PENANAsNiKJ114BP
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 969Please respect copyright.PENANAra1272xwFL
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.969Please respect copyright.PENANAr9GxRnksRp
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."969Please respect copyright.PENANAVW98P1oVdS
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 969Please respect copyright.PENANACuhxrSUvIT
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAlSLNzm02wC
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch969Please respect copyright.PENANAGVxdyQfOIV
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAhAfjqo9pD8
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.969Please respect copyright.PENANAtpYbuPKxBO
I had my eyes closed 969Please respect copyright.PENANAVijoVgaXd9
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found969Please respect copyright.PENANAkQVbMMBilk
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.969Please respect copyright.PENANAPNzdHz3yrG
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."969Please respect copyright.PENANAaIQCFZh7B5
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.969Please respect copyright.PENANAGPLgeFUV2F
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."969Please respect copyright.PENANAbwer4zliCC
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."969Please respect copyright.PENANA720gFV7wNj
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."969Please respect copyright.PENANAiHuMxTMlLT
Taeyang led me to his 969Please respect copyright.PENANA2iHtrFROGy
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 969Please respect copyright.PENANAhhDdugf8cH
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 969Please respect copyright.PENANA0lBtLg55J3
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.969Please respect copyright.PENANA5BschYYg82
In about thirty minutes,969Please respect copyright.PENANALJuu5H20zW
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 969Please respect copyright.PENANAfWtFQQaJsz
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 969Please respect copyright.PENANAtBp5FZAEqn
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 969Please respect copyright.PENANALK0ZB1HFuR
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 969Please respect copyright.PENANAllHP1b3Qee
appeared out of the elevator.969Please respect copyright.PENANAHAdtmHr5j3
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAQbooyTgcYK
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.969Please respect copyright.PENANANlHPmPbr3d
Lee who stood behind 969Please respect copyright.PENANAACf84qvl2K
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 969Please respect copyright.PENANAf24hAV5gOv
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 969Please respect copyright.PENANAUXPHn3fpUF
other things in mind.969Please respect copyright.PENANAkPRV72oZGm
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAIZcffKTV2B
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 969Please respect copyright.PENANAfdUNME3t02
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 969Please respect copyright.PENANAhwS7Px74TT
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.969Please respect copyright.PENANAHYcMqleA2X
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAETym4fhv92
"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."969Please respect copyright.PENANAnG0a8YphaD
There was an awkward 969Please respect copyright.PENANAS2vYxHPCo9
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,969Please respect copyright.PENANAP4mGUgrZpt
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.969Please respect copyright.PENANAyjM2hxlAcq
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAamzc8wDvlB
"Well, I hear the press 969Please respect copyright.PENANAgVRKsLF5ii
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon969Please respect copyright.PENANAE6YTfzeLT0
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."969Please respect copyright.PENANAAqaNhGTLnA
"That won't be 969Please respect copyright.PENANAgRicVVu87c
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 969Please respect copyright.PENANAjmKsE6W39K
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to969Please respect copyright.PENANAgBusuGee8q
go to the press looking all wet."969Please respect copyright.PENANARjXUo8LF1D
I breathed out a sigh of969Please respect copyright.PENANAqiBq19olzZ
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 969Please respect copyright.PENANACFD4Q5ijJk
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.969Please respect copyright.PENANAJSmoWasWRr
"In the meantime, you go969Please respect copyright.PENANANAmEygT8E7
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 969Please respect copyright.PENANA1hQdxWr3Ly
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."969Please respect copyright.PENANAJeh0L03amk
I nodded my head in 969Please respect copyright.PENANATRXMRPlbIg
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 969Please respect copyright.PENANAKZaFjryWHO
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.969Please respect copyright.PENANAOlocEDMKFg
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.PENANAatHpb8zJ99
"Alright," I said 969Please respect copyright.PENANA0zlPUcCkyE
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 969Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tr0RR7VYU
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like969Please respect copyright.PENANAuD0DA2m12R
I was only making things worse.969Please respect copyright.PENANAux8Rlyltmx
Before I turned to leave969Please respect copyright.PENANAOJI4mSPDdV
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 969Please respect copyright.PENANAlvUBScx7mU
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 969Please respect copyright.PENANALDANX3qCjN
one.969Please respect copyright.PENANA8M7AEbSTk9
***969Please respect copyright.PENANAuCMqalN5Xg
I sat on the couch all 969Please respect copyright.PENANAqUX4styjtU
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued969Please respect copyright.PENANAxl7bBSzXr5
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"969Please respect copyright.PENANA1scWzhLrFm
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAm54Wi5wm2T
I had a box of paper 969Please respect copyright.PENANAeDRptSOskq
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my969Please respect copyright.PENANAV9utXJXdgL
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 969Please respect copyright.PENANAISxMbZ5Nud
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.969Please respect copyright.PENANAGvE6dM1GKI
I continued watching the969Please respect copyright.PENANAV74zWuJA7O
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 969Please respect copyright.PENANA6l5vocdRPC
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.969Please respect copyright.PENANA2McDUXZ1fB
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.969Please respect copyright.PENANAJJuqaX4iDl
"Never better," I said, 969Please respect copyright.PENANA3oSIInZziX
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 969Please respect copyright.PENANATYbD6U6R1B
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."969Please respect copyright.PENANAmMtUKAy1LC
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.969Please respect copyright.PENANAQtH2UvD42w
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.969Please respect copyright.PENANAKHJ8ISbxGb
"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.969Please respect copyright.PENANAioAmQxjuRu
"And the others?" 969Please respect copyright.PENANArPoP0kbrcI
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.969Please respect copyright.PENANAvU0dVbZkEq
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.969Please respect copyright.PENANAgN0scQK7Ur
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANA30u0sSFyVj
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.969Please respect copyright.PENANAVcbc4lvaOE
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.969Please respect copyright.PENANAQkLti8c7Lq
"You don't know or you are?"969Please respect copyright.PENANABBPqPQ5E1V
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.969Please respect copyright.PENANAKDc74JlKXt
"I don't know, Tae," I 969Please respect copyright.PENANA0plyCvIMJK
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 969Please respect copyright.PENANAmKDJpmMoK7
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 969Please respect copyright.PENANA7dKnCoWtTF
forget all that happened yesterday."969Please respect copyright.PENANAKEfJSqLgm5
"Ya, I understand. They 969Please respect copyright.PENANA8mBTtULm6G
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 969Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ717BcC4n
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were969Please respect copyright.PENANACBuQJgyhmI
going to get."969Please respect copyright.PENANA5h81Zy4WhD
I looked on at Taeyang 969Please respect copyright.PENANAnzdeAjkpKZ
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 969Please respect copyright.PENANAf2Pi8fkknB
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 969Please respect copyright.PENANAanNNwFEI48
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 969Please respect copyright.PENANAdoMlTH4auv
who was as tough as nails.969Please respect copyright.PENANAqt3Aw5DLqC
Last night, I took the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAiwPiVuV15o
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 969Please respect copyright.PENANAFZgdUo6tFY
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 969Please respect copyright.PENANA6O518oU3IZ
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 969Please respect copyright.PENANAs6sFsWvQ6q
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAr3UYKQFRvS
Apparently, the managers969Please respect copyright.PENANAyAQp8P5dQl
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 969Please respect copyright.PENANALZjjILbUQi
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought969Please respect copyright.PENANA8yRGmZADuX
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 969Please respect copyright.PENANA01NiKWp2Pk
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 969Please respect copyright.PENANAc8zPqZ0W6j
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 969Please respect copyright.PENANAbtGg7als98
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 969Please respect copyright.PENANADQX66PgGEj
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 969Please respect copyright.PENANADG1Q084FNK
and the reporters.969Please respect copyright.PENANAWXEdocA4CL
After my confrontation 969Please respect copyright.PENANA2QkPyb6YXE
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I969Please respect copyright.PENANAvHybA2DWIi
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,969Please respect copyright.PENANAiuz0S1Imli
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.969Please respect copyright.PENANAKIurq8cedq
"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."969Please respect copyright.PENANAh9Dv3UyBa3
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.PENANAkbm4r4RLPo
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."969Please respect copyright.PENANAvmHrosTOsS
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."969Please respect copyright.PENANAYJrtEWaSFg
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."969Please respect copyright.PENANARGUohvlSkA
"Have you tried talking to GD?"969Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jy6taUSNV
"To be honest, I haven't969Please respect copyright.PENANAdWF4Dt0NTk
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 969Please respect copyright.PENANAxvRPCzCutx
slap him in the face if I see him."969Please respect copyright.PENANAwlXOw7ooYK
"I don't doubt that."969Please respect copyright.PENANAcBYG4ArLE4
"And thank goodness my 969Please respect copyright.PENANAkTDkeAGIep
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 969Please respect copyright.PENANAuKNwNCLd8i
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I969Please respect copyright.PENANABONKAiR7TU
want to do is watch some TV."969Please respect copyright.PENANAgLyYtzK8bU
I quickly drank my 969Please respect copyright.PENANAf4Fup63Qi7
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 969Please respect copyright.PENANAsOQRZfoGzM
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 969Please respect copyright.PENANAN0UUqwVKWS
to.969Please respect copyright.PENANArvgfGKU7gb
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.969Please respect copyright.PENANAJcM7weHAby
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.969Please respect copyright.PENANAxw5AlfSNdX
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAkhEM3HPlmf
"Nope."969Please respect copyright.PENANAce3plF2My0
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.969Please respect copyright.PENANAKd6c3IwJmC
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAeZGnD0zV6d
Taeyang didn't say 969Please respect copyright.PENANAzaRtcF8iwL
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened969Please respect copyright.PENANAALlUIqZMz7
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."969Please respect copyright.PENANAgqBcuDV5rb
"I know you fought or 969Please respect copyright.PENANAZlqFMS7vWf
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAxMqo6uK0Gl
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."969Please respect copyright.PENANAgKWlO3mIIe
I noticed Taeyang smile 969Please respect copyright.PENANALKuV9jsvgr
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 969Please respect copyright.PENANAg4KLD17kGl
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 969Please respect copyright.PENANAxDlC7Q2NwI
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.969Please respect copyright.PENANAhAV5N6bDJZ
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.969Please respect copyright.PENANABw81R55Ty8
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."969Please respect copyright.PENANAN3SRDp4zzk
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?969Please respect copyright.PENANAgbwbfMDnKh
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.969Please respect copyright.PENANAhO88yaiRK3
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."969Please respect copyright.PENANAaWOn7uNWl2
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."969Please respect copyright.PENANABVN6sSqMsx
Before I could finish my969Please respect copyright.PENANAJvII3cn62P
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 969Please respect copyright.PENANAGEATVxUkdi
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.969Please respect copyright.PENANArvaoByvpW9
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.969Please respect copyright.PENANAWqXX1gizWk
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.969Please respect copyright.PENANAz0iy7rjGjW
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."969Please respect copyright.PENANAauIWUu4e1k
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."969Please respect copyright.PENANA5O5WkAGodc
"Yep, cheers to that." 969Please respect copyright.PENANAQtkjFSWqbH
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAUUTlHiyAku
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.969Please respect copyright.PENANABEg86t2Rca
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAa8TBADtWeF
"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."969Please respect copyright.PENANAagKBky9D5p
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."969Please respect copyright.PENANAOG9xOvXXCN
"Wow, that sounds personal."969Please respect copyright.PENANAziMxAF15jz
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."969Please respect copyright.PENANAXTJaqWgViB
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"969Please respect copyright.PENANABp6E51oCtT
"I think I've a better 969Please respect copyright.PENANAUOPatbWnoJ
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 969Please respect copyright.PENANAjXI0evQDFE
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 969Please respect copyright.PENANAtUOKeSg2GB
lyrics. It's better that way."969Please respect copyright.PENANAPyrnv9pf8U
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAG2q2ZeVNls
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."969Please respect copyright.PENANApm3V6iepO7
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."969Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5EyuXtkl6
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."969Please respect copyright.PENANAMr2cSjQskL
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."969Please respect copyright.PENANAyN6RIOBmDM
"Haha, good point."969Please respect copyright.PENANA8ep8hMMKvy
Taeyang and I continued 969Please respect copyright.PENANARlTTCsJh1o
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 969Please respect copyright.PENANAsdF5mqH1R4
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 969Please respect copyright.PENANA9wqQZtMKgL
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we969Please respect copyright.PENANAtKsvRaqSQN
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 969Please respect copyright.PENANAU0eO8li4HS
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 969Please respect copyright.PENANA69VlhS8TNN
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 969Please respect copyright.PENANAb3325PIiUl
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 969Please respect copyright.PENANAhUUeqIljbg
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.969Please respect copyright.PENANAQokqJFp2MF
While the two of us were969Please respect copyright.PENANAhVYHwYs74m
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,969Please respect copyright.PENANAR3ysyNPMV1
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 969Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xqysohqmf
I quickly went over to 969Please respect copyright.PENANAi1htuXz89G
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was969Please respect copyright.PENANAAWZTJjkZba
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung969Please respect copyright.PENANAgSAbPMyzgJ
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could969Please respect copyright.PENANA3aE0vQD59y
come up and I put the receiver down.969Please respect copyright.PENANAaXJhZudYxF
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."969Please respect copyright.PENANAWwuTiCjQIe
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."969Please respect copyright.PENANA6iSSQfmceH
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."969Please respect copyright.PENANA6ncye0R0f1
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.969Please respect copyright.PENANADEB42tQTP6
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.969Please respect copyright.PENANAz0oKsOWicH
"Eww, that pillow 969Please respect copyright.PENANAnLtOg0uKUP
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 969Please respect copyright.PENANAhWFg6LFg4n
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.969Please respect copyright.PENANAW3yk88lwqw
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.969Please respect copyright.PENANAbDHCg5OJOX
A few seconds later, we 969Please respect copyright.PENANAe8b4k9L1lT
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 969Please respect copyright.PENANAJM7C7WNO1U
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 969Please respect copyright.PENANAm9zpVXWmaq
holding a box of chocolates.969Please respect copyright.PENANAM7aKfiqamF
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.969Please respect copyright.PENANAUUjLCsMNbk
"Ah, no, the panda is a 969Please respect copyright.PENANAQwGA7vR6Qe
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 969Please respect copyright.PENANAJDEio0U6Bt
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAvVTnGblxxF
same time.969Please respect copyright.PENANAecBpsEcmL4
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."969Please respect copyright.PENANAF4bkBiZmvh
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.969Please respect copyright.PENANAbKsHDWtCOo
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAfoyTENsWdf
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."969Please respect copyright.PENANA3RBjZDvL0V
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.PENANAkF2mNVEVJ7
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.969Please respect copyright.PENANA8lI9Zx9WzX
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."969Please respect copyright.PENANAZRpwKEOjcr
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.969Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9Jbx8e5qK
"For goodness sake, I 969Please respect copyright.PENANAp04FdulxsI
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 969Please respect copyright.PENANAgK4WZ63twX
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 969Please respect copyright.PENANAdu6saXBh76
scared with me."969Please respect copyright.PENANAdvCfF67X6P
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.969Please respect copyright.PENANAKGPnRc5Y94
I took the panda in my 969Please respect copyright.PENANAEGIFLNDVBP
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 969Please respect copyright.PENANAmzhx4Hf2Ou
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 969Please respect copyright.PENANAvhpz6Hk3kj
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 969Please respect copyright.PENANAfYFLYglLRP
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.969Please respect copyright.PENANAXHUOpd30kR
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."969Please respect copyright.PENANAKX3sdZaKDs
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."969Please respect copyright.PENANAmFI08MdoZ5
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAJMshN7EDhv
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.969Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ts9byfcdk
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."969Please respect copyright.PENANA3nHKrIfudu
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I969Please respect copyright.PENANA5DscTvdSdh
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 969Please respect copyright.PENANA3QsWtY7tny
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 969Please respect copyright.PENANAxgLZWRVm4d
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."969Please respect copyright.PENANAQDoiKM5ErO
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."969Please respect copyright.PENANAgXp5OjkFEz
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."969Please respect copyright.PENANAEhBebOOjW6
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.PENANAa0IgVkRbE3
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."969Please respect copyright.PENANA3bwgDGNYeQ
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.969Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dn96NnujT
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."969Please respect copyright.PENANA7pef5YKjDM
"Ya, I do."969Please respect copyright.PENANA2KRPDsNhtp
While the four of us 969Please respect copyright.PENANAKQKbZ0nZYD
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 969Please respect copyright.PENANAEg93hhm7O5
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 969Please respect copyright.PENANAiN8kmrzF5T
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 969Please respect copyright.PENANAiolV4KFWC3
said:969Please respect copyright.PENANAv7fhWxb4oF
"Hey, Zoey." 969Please respect copyright.PENANAk9GvxGCjaV
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAL1cMsQ3V1F
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."969Please respect copyright.PENANAbFSzNTHUaM
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.PENANAD4pPATlTB4
"It's good you came to 969Please respect copyright.PENANAB7SGXYRSAV
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 969Please respect copyright.PENANAcvkZAXXkrN
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAnNkYzoCFZh
couch.969Please respect copyright.PENANA2MJp3tgnjZ
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"969Please respect copyright.PENANAmzJC4vI28G
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"969Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0M1ZVsgwn
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAbCFKhwIdNA
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 969Please respect copyright.PENANANAQkuHZbDN
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.969Please respect copyright.PENANAm0pijvlgUV
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.969Please respect copyright.PENANAY0ovq48lyt
I tugged at my panda's 969Please respect copyright.PENANAizL4ngqZpV
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it969Please respect copyright.PENANARL04T5ufYf
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking969Please respect copyright.PENANAvYYO1NcQOg
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.969Please respect copyright.PENANAlIBKcXtiQj
The Toxins came back to 969Please respect copyright.PENANACClrxXUrb8
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held969Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vjc4SCGP2
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine969Please respect copyright.PENANASVZtIZGhkw
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.PENANAeFCi6uSgb4
For a moment, no one 969Please respect copyright.PENANANRdiGGOzzY
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 969Please respect copyright.PENANAVotbBV5fAp
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.969Please respect copyright.PENANA47ecw6jStJ
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.969Please respect copyright.PENANAazhGXInkBS
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 969Please respect copyright.PENANApwTLBEdnHM
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.969Please respect copyright.PENANAVmmz3uXr9n
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."969Please respect copyright.PENANAbuLO2HGaIl
I stared up at the 969Please respect copyright.PENANA4UpX9h45hh
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 969Please respect copyright.PENANAQbwn6DjWTi
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.969Please respect copyright.PENANA2NeRxILR4S
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."969Please respect copyright.PENANAKdaM8ETJ31
When Zoey tried to reach969Please respect copyright.PENANAxL73Ix0UVP
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 969Please respect copyright.PENANA4EKe4gqU8F
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.969Please respect copyright.PENANA8sOJllJDPF
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.969Please respect copyright.PENANA2sB6KHtn2q
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.969Please respect copyright.PENANAgn108ScG21
Zoey looked hurt with 969Please respect copyright.PENANA8kA0wZfYfk
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 969Please respect copyright.PENANAX5V6z01tRC
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.969Please respect copyright.PENANANtl5mBg6aS
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANATOWgrVlKrq
I didn't answer as I put969Please respect copyright.PENANAZZWnnOSwQp
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I969Please respect copyright.PENANAuNjC0G7rYR
was still mad, especially at Zoey.969Please respect copyright.PENANA2BzyjzY6Bi
"I know it's a little 969Please respect copyright.PENANAs6ug5Vt06h
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 969Please respect copyright.PENANAa61RGF4gqO
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 969Please respect copyright.PENANAIZbKILu0Zh
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 969Please respect copyright.PENANACPGufpRoWo
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAhQAuNj3iXm
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 969Please respect copyright.PENANAOV9pHvAIXg
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."969Please respect copyright.PENANA4q5ZbG4wSD
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.969Please respect copyright.PENANAwo5oxFJ0nm
"I don't like it when 969Please respect copyright.PENANAXImXWoNvFV
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 969Please respect copyright.PENANAFGpFVkAorP
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 969Please respect copyright.PENANA9S7IPxaHtP
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 969Please respect copyright.PENANAkOsPLetbzS
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 969Please respect copyright.PENANAiD9O4a0VhZ
sorry, Sam."969Please respect copyright.PENANAYqguktpEHY
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."969Please respect copyright.PENANA7JZdosi24W
"I'm sorry too," said 969Please respect copyright.PENANAV4nh0r6Cf6
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 969Please respect copyright.PENANAvokC4jqJ2K
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 969Please respect copyright.PENANAD2I6vUdJew
for you to talk to us again."969Please respect copyright.PENANAJWfUIBtu3C
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 969Please respect copyright.PENANAgFkepAmxhK
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 969Please respect copyright.PENANA8yYga9nVpv
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 969Please respect copyright.PENANAJTHAM1VJXj
leader."969Please respect copyright.PENANAbDjAzskThE
I still didn't say a 969Please respect copyright.PENANA9MFrTfLCvY
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 969Please respect copyright.PENANAFkkRtgZyXf
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 969Please respect copyright.PENANAV638jAXSKs
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 969Please respect copyright.PENANAERt55uuJWt
them despite the awful things they put me through.969Please respect copyright.PENANAFCwsnekF8K
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAeyN4olybTU
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."969Please respect copyright.PENANAk8IdCklw2y
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.969Please respect copyright.PENANAO5cjy0bbga
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.969Please respect copyright.PENANAzcLI9WXKuT
"I'm mad and pretty much969Please respect copyright.PENANAzTsW8gua0P
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 969Please respect copyright.PENANAF6T9w0MuFn
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."969Please respect copyright.PENANAQgLED2bBIS
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAqs2u1qEdRZ
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."969Please respect copyright.PENANAb8dD6zXxhB
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.969Please respect copyright.PENANAN0MFoWfKwT
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 969Please respect copyright.PENANA5lFf6WAlqq
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 969Please respect copyright.PENANAyoPRryodYM
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."969Please respect copyright.PENANA65vOaVtFJR
"Ah, you! Always acting 969Please respect copyright.PENANAF5iRnJONV7
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 969Please respect copyright.PENANAZvFlQ39LfX
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 969Please respect copyright.PENANAc7eIBe6I63
catch it anyway."969Please respect copyright.PENANA2Hzs8CbSWZ
Christine, Daniel and 969Please respect copyright.PENANAP2IoKObNxv
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 969Please respect copyright.PENANA3wFe5JM6U1
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 969Please respect copyright.PENANAdSaf0fiEoO
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.969Please respect copyright.PENANAuSVTkHNCnz
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.969Please respect copyright.PENANAQBArq8tRcH
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.PENANAK8nSW8C7S0
"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...."969Please respect copyright.PENANAadAQwWQJps
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.969Please respect copyright.PENANArXIoTmt0KI
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."969Please respect copyright.PENANAb9Y7LrqP09
"Don't worry, you won't 969Please respect copyright.PENANAJNVmUbGd5f
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 969Please respect copyright.PENANAQqsbrs0KPB
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.969Please respect copyright.PENANASva0BWel5D
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.969Please respect copyright.PENANAuCnl2TOi4m
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.969Please respect copyright.PENANANgfVb1xCaV
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"969Please respect copyright.PENANA6xshlJwf1F
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."969Please respect copyright.PENANAg5YXzjZgEP
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.969Please respect copyright.PENANA7fiBrMC0Jr
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAVAre9XsIwD
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAG1YizQOl3w
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."969Please respect copyright.PENANAAIDRfgMQkY
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.969Please respect copyright.PENANAWo4OaSxsEa
At that moment, I had 969Please respect copyright.PENANAkp0vHmKOzu
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.969Please respect copyright.PENANAJMDaDO6unO
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.969Please respect copyright.PENANAYKdBuDU1iR
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANASpiXCeVnK8
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.969Please respect copyright.PENANA6iMfd1v67i
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."969Please respect copyright.PENANAxDUGXszP4g
Zoey got the box of 969Please respect copyright.PENANA120EX9qJ8X
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 969Please respect copyright.PENANAOgOjRC81x7
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.969Please respect copyright.PENANAtRCVcEn5mF
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.969Please respect copyright.PENANAgZT2DPWGPZ
I was in the passage as I969Please respect copyright.PENANALuPuP0faKm
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 969Please respect copyright.PENANAL3eVTY3dwL
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed969Please respect copyright.PENANAurN5Qh9v7V
in what felt like sadness.969Please respect copyright.PENANAdG2l3KhQON
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.969Please respect copyright.PENANAemdSkOTWLo
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."969Please respect copyright.PENANA4D8E9QUQRx
I heard his footsteps 969Please respect copyright.PENANArMcsZGrRkN
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 969Please respect copyright.PENANA13xsW79HRm
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.969Please respect copyright.PENANANhmN1KnPrm
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAXfVgrYEBef
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANA34RpANh9ui
"Are we really do this right now?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAKgU4pEEC7j
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 969Please respect copyright.PENANArbDY16WnrE
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.969Please respect copyright.PENANAv0EuMpVBst
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAjG5Sq4HtD8
"Nope." 969Please respect copyright.PENANAd5uMIV1c7c
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."969Please respect copyright.PENANA6RDkFXbzma
My eyes almost felt like969Please respect copyright.PENANAuvr3Jx9Bq3
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 969Please respect copyright.PENANAeyXUL5R8WK
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.969Please respect copyright.PENANAAAl4KwxPWo
I turned to look at him 969Please respect copyright.PENANA8ovdLcaJyb
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 969Please respect copyright.PENANAmcDf1CULii
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.969Please respect copyright.PENANAZVOqhIRoX3
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.969Please respect copyright.PENANAE3QV3bPoZr
"That you're surrounded 969Please respect copyright.PENANA57d6dfJblO
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 969Please respect copyright.PENANASAY3iVTeFi
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 969Please respect copyright.PENANArFr5NykwUR
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."969Please respect copyright.PENANAienu1pL2rS
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 969Please respect copyright.PENANACDSS9fIvUz
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."969Please respect copyright.PENANAy0P1JbvCMe
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAQWeObAlqJg
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."969Please respect copyright.PENANAJliDjruYuh
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."969Please respect copyright.PENANAAHikbOFMuH
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAIhapyRD4E6
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."969Please respect copyright.PENANAGdOSaDkohn
Apparently, I couldn't 969Please respect copyright.PENANAXv4Dij387x
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 969Please respect copyright.PENANATGNQN5zpUs
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAUQBLrlbqOr
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 969Please respect copyright.PENANA1LzQOG6lab
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 969Please respect copyright.PENANA50mtAhfQyu
death.969Please respect copyright.PENANAI7rbhoQyXu
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.969Please respect copyright.PENANAf2N8hMQeBz
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."969Please respect copyright.PENANAfo777T3RMF
Taeyang folded his arms 969Please respect copyright.PENANA8x9sFMgBCG
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think969Please respect copyright.PENANAOt4YJEo7Tn
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."969Please respect copyright.PENANAOPEiVcSnge
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.969Please respect copyright.PENANA4zdkdbm2kX
"You're may think you're969Please respect copyright.PENANAToVWkkK6rb
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 969Please respect copyright.PENANAuI93zwxxK1
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 969Please respect copyright.PENANAV1Edu1YdhO
but feeling hurt."969Please respect copyright.PENANAqIjoD05mXK
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.969Please respect copyright.PENANAjHe2hxcIil
"But I wouldn't feel 969Please respect copyright.PENANAG5kEOKas3C
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 969Please respect copyright.PENANA30lFGdiS6n
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 969Please respect copyright.PENANA1DjdHestYW
at Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ9OLNMlJ5
Taeyang gave me that 969Please respect copyright.PENANAk5nDjLlAzz
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 969Please respect copyright.PENANAIv4uQJ7ztG
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 969Please respect copyright.PENANAApioHZXVKI
while in return, he nodded.969Please respect copyright.PENANAN1iVxFcrm8
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 969Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pqu0mcWM5
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."969Please respect copyright.PENANALpnBu6tLJC
I didn't say a word as I969Please respect copyright.PENANAkYKz5s0vnP
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my969Please respect copyright.PENANAz6hkwVfjGo
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 969Please respect copyright.PENANA6nUh9Tqegi
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 969Please respect copyright.PENANAyPVgNByedV
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.969Please respect copyright.PENANACayemzo8NU
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."969Please respect copyright.PENANAm7My5fDDBW
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."969Please respect copyright.PENANAQEJERUtIW6
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."969Please respect copyright.PENANA6MwuJwqq3U
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAeO7Abi7jkg
If there was ever a way I969Please respect copyright.PENANA60XPpj2wG7
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 969Please respect copyright.PENANApTmU3UUfy0
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 969Please respect copyright.PENANAfY4wNcQrSG
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.969Please respect copyright.PENANADTa488Fhz5
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAWVD4p51rXT
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAitmSmo9EU8
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.969Please respect copyright.PENANAZasBpHE94e
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.969Please respect copyright.PENANAXWvYgYAwnT
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAfm8fX6zkhG
"Well, I'm just asking,"969Please respect copyright.PENANAZBKofmKnci
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,969Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZYpHzn250
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."969Please respect copyright.PENANALTMRArgkZc
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.969Please respect copyright.PENANAkgcKmeAoNf
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.969Please respect copyright.PENANAp9QYibFQdW
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.969Please respect copyright.PENANAB55Q2fPyyL
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.969Please respect copyright.PENANAYKrABYsuzf
I pressed the button 969Please respect copyright.PENANAEcevYLIXPr
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 969Please respect copyright.PENANAthnKj7DebY
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 969Please respect copyright.PENANAPuCjcszOcK
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.969Please respect copyright.PENANA9D27gJY5cc
We went to the main 969Please respect copyright.PENANA7KKHViegmb
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for969Please respect copyright.PENANA3PSOf5Uv34
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 969Please respect copyright.PENANA57dOk8A0VV
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.969Please respect copyright.PENANAk8AMKebTZt
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.969Please respect copyright.PENANAZpHigfuYk6
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAv7YVy8b9Gl
"To be honest, we just 969Please respect copyright.PENANABjuMcMb47i
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAWBmhx7BnQz
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."969Please respect copyright.PENANAwWXzRTwSj1
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.969Please respect copyright.PENANAduzMPFMULQ
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.969Please respect copyright.PENANA50aGex5yWZ
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.969Please respect copyright.PENANAoO8hjzLZG4
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.969Please respect copyright.PENANA1Mg86FAr9b
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.969Please respect copyright.PENANAMw3K2hWpMn
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.969Please respect copyright.PENANAKS7fNiU6q4
"Nah, I don't think so,"969Please respect copyright.PENANAaiYKuRJ7hg
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so969Please respect copyright.PENANAKwLYEfsBlJ
he would be treating me like that."969Please respect copyright.PENANARFwW52F3DG
"Mmm, I don't think so,"969Please respect copyright.PENANAVkIemEvDxF
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 969Please respect copyright.PENANA2oLlKQq8lb
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAUtPPoe3FGL
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."969Please respect copyright.PENANAtrGrCPQqHU
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.969Please respect copyright.PENANA5eKleUt2CE
"Then, stop trying to make one."969Please respect copyright.PENANAmbQ999bwhV
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."969Please respect copyright.PENANALnODqrjqla
"Ya, me too," said Mike.969Please respect copyright.PENANALaBdQz5HgU
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.969Please respect copyright.PENANA4VM6c1eLii
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAcKZSPtqDW5
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.969Please respect copyright.PENANAeBMsV7BSY0
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."969Please respect copyright.PENANArOzuhhptuy
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANABh2Hm0sYqK
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.969Please respect copyright.PENANAv4mZxcKU0p
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."969Please respect copyright.PENANA9xUoB6SbuE
I didn't even dare try 969Please respect copyright.PENANAKirutPuJ48
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 969Please respect copyright.PENANAQYfqvqCcm3
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.969Please respect copyright.PENANAx2hOCTeRC0
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1kCBg165m
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAxHnXsj8Dl1
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.969Please respect copyright.PENANAGRq1hiKffD
I heard footsteps coming969Please respect copyright.PENANALG5zm3Cyie
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 969Please respect copyright.PENANAqFaV3KI2Yg
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 969Please respect copyright.PENANAtKw41k55T7
look at me.969Please respect copyright.PENANAzIu1bn2bZP
"Are you okay?" he whispered.969Please respect copyright.PENANAZekX3sPgwI
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.969Please respect copyright.PENANAweFbWrphwQ
I soon felt strong hands969Please respect copyright.PENANAwWZUajz7RR
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD969Please respect copyright.PENANAu00L2atVGZ
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.969Please respect copyright.PENANAvtltC9ZFfn
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAontYnVDL4L
"I'm a whole lot better,969Please respect copyright.PENANAtD8lMVtryT
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 969Please respect copyright.PENANAFnsGEtz9Ca
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.969Please respect copyright.PENANAw9rAaCjnlZ
"Glad to hear that."969Please respect copyright.PENANAjM1yw0IHot
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.969Please respect copyright.PENANAZpn2QBREJ8
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."969Please respect copyright.PENANAfVbeyZ87Ds
I was planning not to 969Please respect copyright.PENANAxpOhUXdfPK
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 969Please respect copyright.PENANAgjYMSqTIGb
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 969Please respect copyright.PENANAnFmT4pLVls
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to969Please respect copyright.PENANAJDFCyOrxQP
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 969Please respect copyright.PENANAL2nl5NkboX
under the bridge.969Please respect copyright.PENANA5vTDR2uk0j
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."969Please respect copyright.PENANAOfBGy9hT1F
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAGONZkwEam1
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."969Please respect copyright.PENANAqyuBNOlyR3
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."969Please respect copyright.PENANA2iXQsHfiNj
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.969Please respect copyright.PENANAwV4O3v6TP1
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.PENANAlh1a7SAkq9
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAQXIYafloWe
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."969Please respect copyright.PENANA6Aebwwbp4G
The waiters soon came 969Please respect copyright.PENANAapnHdQgT2L
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.969Please respect copyright.PENANARrC8ocCMN3
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 969Please respect copyright.PENANAvOrYPkWi1x
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 969Please respect copyright.PENANAvyU2vHX2yW
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.969Please respect copyright.PENANAyDOZ2jND8H
For a moment, I felt 969Please respect copyright.PENANAK5OFRjH3NI
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAbct8i7Yiq9
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 969Please respect copyright.PENANAiCvVjdQYSw
me to forget that I was ever mad.969Please respect copyright.PENANANZ2IkINUj0
"Mmm, this is so 969Please respect copyright.PENANAdSNBuF8tWm
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 969Please respect copyright.PENANAc8Uy3A7Rx7
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."969Please respect copyright.PENANADkiTlOjroD
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."969Please respect copyright.PENANABmiGVHZXOJ
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."969Please respect copyright.PENANAlDzULxnXcC
"Anything for you, Sam,"969Please respect copyright.PENANANLlJ7fc9z4
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 969Please respect copyright.PENANAbQigxdHeC6
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."969Please respect copyright.PENANAXgvPuvCNuT
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANADKd0piB4g4
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.969Please respect copyright.PENANANOG1pNZICV
I had just taken in some969Please respect copyright.PENANAkdbNZU2zMi
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 969Please respect copyright.PENANAYoaNaYxp0A
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly969Please respect copyright.PENANAWaGxR7dMpw
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 969Please respect copyright.PENANAgyxeSyqgQS
just said.969Please respect copyright.PENANAl10NGAsnek
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAFVsYvT9goy
"Well, ya," Christine 969Please respect copyright.PENANAMNmsOC0JPr
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 969Please respect copyright.PENANAiSvoCcVLr7
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 969Please respect copyright.PENANAvGnespNkzm
special lunch to lighten your mood."969Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9JtrhqSbo
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.969Please respect copyright.PENANABXCrfKEBIX
"Thanks for the lunch, 969Please respect copyright.PENANAIMKXWxvN0h
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so969Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z6JtFen9S
sweet of you to have come up with this."969Please respect copyright.PENANAMgDdi8G0MU
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.969Please respect copyright.PENANARchGXTlAu9
I almost felt like 969Please respect copyright.PENANAKtRUmlWbdc
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 969Please respect copyright.PENANAIMdiAalzAM
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare969Please respect copyright.PENANAow0rIrLNtZ
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 969Please respect copyright.PENANAqEGQnYnzvY
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 969Please respect copyright.PENANAlRrDDiQ34I
turning into rage?969Please respect copyright.PENANAo9trzF3cvB
Oh, goodness. I needed 969Please respect copyright.PENANAFZaytPSW2y
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 969Please respect copyright.PENANAEgV2qCDYj1
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 969Please respect copyright.PENANAGbj9YUwfUa
I tried to push aside 969Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1A0xwB3X7
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 969Please respect copyright.PENANAaejzxLOwws
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 969Please respect copyright.PENANAZwB4DDBTGH
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 969Please respect copyright.PENANAnZVimX3xKb
chocolate moussé.969Please respect copyright.PENANAShHwydfocj
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,969Please respect copyright.PENANA4NxxH37ZFs
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 969Please respect copyright.PENANAca2s1tc3Ga
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.969Please respect copyright.PENANABybeRvm6li
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.PENANAV5kX1F8XbK
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."969Please respect copyright.PENANAxOo14tWa7x
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.969Please respect copyright.PENANA4aUoAS56fP
I didn't wait for 969Please respect copyright.PENANAb4wvZB9qnk
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I969Please respect copyright.PENANAzkWUQqyILv
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed969Please respect copyright.PENANA12WYhCm3At
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 969Please respect copyright.PENANAdCl1JmDupM
heaven.969Please respect copyright.PENANAumkBUhJqlK
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.969Please respect copyright.PENANACYkfNaDRWc
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."969Please respect copyright.PENANAtBL41EYbKN
"I don't care," I said 969Please respect copyright.PENANAoD9ZVypAkw
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 969Please respect copyright.PENANAJD6nUo81qb
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."969Please respect copyright.PENANAc7r8ZrYV1v
G-Dragon smiled back at 969Please respect copyright.PENANA9F8WpRQdY4
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 969Please respect copyright.PENANA70iZ62lDT6
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 969Please respect copyright.PENANA16ixKM2HVR
away.969Please respect copyright.PENANAmsKaEP2CFq
After dessert, we all 969Please respect copyright.PENANACpQKl9Ddje
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 969Please respect copyright.PENANAgJW2z1a4aH
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 969Please respect copyright.PENANAzW1Yp8rcrc
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 969Please respect copyright.PENANA53J5di8OQ2
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 969Please respect copyright.PENANAwjlWfuIDhY
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 969Please respect copyright.PENANAdFh6iwBYdS
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.969Please respect copyright.PENANAv7DmmIJ2V0
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAmbTd7pptI0
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.969Please respect copyright.PENANAhdQvW5uNXq
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."969Please respect copyright.PENANA6fkeGkdJzB
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.969Please respect copyright.PENANAPm1fMIXaqy
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."969Please respect copyright.PENANALm33sjssm6
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."969Please respect copyright.PENANAPbO65W7NS5
"What stuff?" TOP asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANApbawrLpQaD
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAfJHXk903CS
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."969Please respect copyright.PENANAognexPi2uJ
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.969Please respect copyright.PENANAgO7OPilRDi
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.969Please respect copyright.PENANADG95DAY8Hr
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.969Please respect copyright.PENANAYR9gNHWHMH
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.969Please respect copyright.PENANAdxfO1LlqIk
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."969Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ4NIBp1hr
"Wait, what's going on?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAePCY5dqUdY
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 969Please respect copyright.PENANALMjetdotLA
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAh2DIJta2If
"I thought we should all969Please respect copyright.PENANA8F3MA6SThE
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 969Please respect copyright.PENANAatXl81AK10
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."969Please respect copyright.PENANAQHJosqaWmQ
"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.969Please respect copyright.PENANAPoB3ZQzBYW
"I don't know, I feel we969Please respect copyright.PENANAEFpfP8ORda
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.969Please respect copyright.PENANANDj2Jy7fvb
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out969Please respect copyright.PENANAAahFzrU7Q9
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."969Please respect copyright.PENANAhD3sr67uc6
"I don't get it though,"969Please respect copyright.PENANAUtKApvXMhy
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 969Please respect copyright.PENANA63XAFH2UK7
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write969Please respect copyright.PENANAicRNAnHTta
the lyrics?"969Please respect copyright.PENANALbtmLlpsFt
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.969Please respect copyright.PENANAeRxdI8f72j
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"969Please respect copyright.PENANA6NJIsUB9dV
This time, I also raised969Please respect copyright.PENANA8ly3G9fE8N
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 969Please respect copyright.PENANAr5zYqcNMgS
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.969Please respect copyright.PENANAXDPiiJChQ1
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZTz8Plitu
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.969Please respect copyright.PENANAYX07KWgl86
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.969Please respect copyright.PENANAcY7tDBMs1l
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANADE3yWHBaAV
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."969Please respect copyright.PENANAmogbWqhTZv
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAfcz0jxOGrH
By the way G-Dragon 969Please respect copyright.PENANAeHxucnpK7I
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 969Please respect copyright.PENANAL4ZmiuFKWP
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And969Please respect copyright.PENANAyhRWrKLyD3
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of969Please respect copyright.PENANA81eCVnxIip
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.969Please respect copyright.PENANAEGlZw7jNzO
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."969Please respect copyright.PENANAmYPXqFvlRO
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"969Please respect copyright.PENANAOwYffs5a6x
"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."969Please respect copyright.PENANAkACuDTEa4p
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.969Please respect copyright.PENANACpMABe5CEh
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 969Please respect copyright.PENANACVFW7c7f2h
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.969Please respect copyright.PENANA5nMf6jgEWl
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."969Please respect copyright.PENANAtIP0MPEJoM
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."969Please respect copyright.PENANAxbfgx1I6w0
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."969Please respect copyright.PENANAeiyHMR4O24
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."969Please respect copyright.PENANA4PC4cnRr1c
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."969Please respect copyright.PENANAtho9wV6Jez
"What truth?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANACPvX7x6nC5
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."969Please respect copyright.PENANAdB1SiTdNjW
Taeyang was right. I was969Please respect copyright.PENANAFNoKYl9mZa
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 969Please respect copyright.PENANADdXnYcztzR
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 969Please respect copyright.PENANACcSWO8nryG
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 969Please respect copyright.PENANAVre6eGAkIh
attention.969Please respect copyright.PENANAywQbZOcM3I
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."969Please respect copyright.PENANAuJJHgv9ZPs
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."969Please respect copyright.PENANAg1bENNrJ9m
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel969Please respect copyright.PENANAOa0k2CMCbA
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 969Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ7f75YQWm
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!969Please respect copyright.PENANAkrxPb5HHvq
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.969Please respect copyright.PENANA0rzRxW02a4
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.969Please respect copyright.PENANATAwVjfB0kB
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.969Please respect copyright.PENANAelGk8hd1mw
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.969Please respect copyright.PENANAykqiSA7Lho
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.969Please respect copyright.PENANAdEzsnOQFVj
"But I....." 969Please respect copyright.PENANAa63jzCyf0t
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 969Please respect copyright.PENANAtK6jdz5pqe
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've969Please respect copyright.PENANA5UvXVCrLzN
talked way too much, don't you think?"969Please respect copyright.PENANADxkTo0HDIt
That felt like a slap in969Please respect copyright.PENANAYnEhvbcDau
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 969Please respect copyright.PENANAAQdEoc9BsZ
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 969Please respect copyright.PENANAd720tcgc4v
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 969Please respect copyright.PENANADwIzMHB9dd
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 969Please respect copyright.PENANA3ymzIa0UO1
about what I thought was best for the whole group?969Please respect copyright.PENANAkBUEEVZwFS
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.969Please respect copyright.PENANAboIhT51cpe
"That's fine with me," said Mike.969Please respect copyright.PENANAve8yw7NtxM
Everyone else agreed, 969Please respect copyright.PENANAymuhO0hzXz
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 969Please respect copyright.PENANAyw3zD0fpJG
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 969Please respect copyright.PENANAORabcrnMOu
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 969Please respect copyright.PENANAxp1sNZv7zM
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 969Please respect copyright.PENANA8iyBhSXE7X
B, just in case.969Please respect copyright.PENANAvj68ZhUm7G
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.969Please respect copyright.PENANAzWUKgIyePe
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.969Please respect copyright.PENANA3vA7ePW3tN
"Not now, Sam. We will 969Please respect copyright.PENANAlBYRdvhErU
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 969Please respect copyright.PENANASNLVII1wKT
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 969Please respect copyright.PENANAXLoOjell4S
gave me goosebumps.969Please respect copyright.PENANAVjWNTvhLCa
"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."969Please respect copyright.PENANANTDHDF2cM9
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 969Please respect copyright.PENANAlY29p0RrzY
One by one everyone 969Please respect copyright.PENANAjzHT7WxWzC
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 969Please respect copyright.PENANAGHBhADhS6c
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem969Please respect copyright.PENANAgTusLg38Yn
appropriate.969Please respect copyright.PENANAyBGGjKFPbv
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.969Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ2AIkSKu5
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.PENANAqcIjToyU6u
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.PENANAz1j1m4ausE
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.969Please respect copyright.PENANAjniGiJrVHG
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."969Please respect copyright.PENANAd76xV6Ji3U
"It's not that. I pissed969Please respect copyright.PENANA9T5uOzSsWF
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take969Please respect copyright.PENANAYeOgW9GQeP
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."969Please respect copyright.PENANAgfTGT7ToCP
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."969Please respect copyright.PENANAvw6TJaX15W
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."969Please respect copyright.PENANALI1WBsA5mx
Taeyang placed his hand 969Please respect copyright.PENANA58lDm4dfKr
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He969Please respect copyright.PENANAvlGBfppxWH
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.969Please respect copyright.PENANAgi1t4w7CQQ
I knew I had to hope for969Please respect copyright.PENANAdVaMnZpUuj
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut969Please respect copyright.PENANAf1qhNucYnj
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 969Please respect copyright.PENANAFdUiCQuyab
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 969Please respect copyright.PENANAYMVJNZWrC4
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 969Please respect copyright.PENANAv5Nj9j5tcc
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
