The water felt like a 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAK4mrtcGlXO
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtdN9oHwjYB
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Hk98N4TP
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYYHW6jzc3n
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAuBvKeA0cpQ
breathe. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfGfkusDaO8
I pushed myself upwards 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAoMm4oYjDNO
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of1083Please respect copyright.PENANAkgKppzi4Yz
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAI3zIyfV6FC
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAyEZSFws6PH
edge.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWXZMRH6fys
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8gI5NanhZm
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYVxVeC10NO
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.1083Please respect copyright.PENANASqCETJMoxk
I looked ridiculously 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAagsLP7lEDO
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAO8Ylw9EktU
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1UH87vyz51
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAInQXUQLbje
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAY7eOsUriqQ
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAectYo1C7w1
I looked around me and 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA0dmW2NxXm8
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGWZA9rFOGw
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAzApR5Mvqgd
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 1083Please respect copyright.PENANArnMvRFWl4V
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAMmYSh9UVqo
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAVVYBihZ9g7
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEZkQWMTSaf
I heard Zoey and the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9KiQcIuWYh
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPrHxqveTlD
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8FEUBvogRW
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAwpdGtuvWMd
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's1083Please respect copyright.PENANAERgCouMUsB
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAT4KVotDoAp
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAbaM3pImXeG
"I already told you, I'm1083Please respect copyright.PENANAVV0zxpVqt3
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I1083Please respect copyright.PENANAMTR0blskcE
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8WHJgRkq9x
from anyone.1083Please respect copyright.PENANApQcBHBdqUK
I made my way towards GD1083Please respect copyright.PENANAa3zf7EPm9j
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what1083Please respect copyright.PENANAj5A3dZQMnL
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAys9mYOK0CV
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA37IEdhoJwN
"Oh, man, Sam," said 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAx14S7k5c5g
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAadheWwDGo0
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEor1IXGQ8h
game. Hope you didn't mind."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKKdModOC9y
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAH3soF3ODSM
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."1083Please respect copyright.PENANACiyxRljEKa
"I told you, our 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAVMkK2NrGcF
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAUrY7i1BfjB
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1sHsscIiI1
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAcA7XuS7zGW
Daesung.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYPtNqROo1e
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAqBsxvKfjlM
I dialled Lee's number 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAVirCvPVJXL
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ09ZFNt7X
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA3rxYakjOFg
They would know soon enough.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7CRLKCBIeA
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAoi6msqQj0l
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAJeZ2AaUwoz
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKkPGWimf7D
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAhgFWsqocib
"No, not yet. But you 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEaE00nKBxp
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And1083Please respect copyright.PENANAUKtehOCAeU
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAxP3lX3uzSt
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA54XdzS5dFV
"Okay, I'll be waiting."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFZfVZ0M2z5
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.1083Please respect copyright.PENANATEiBnN6sIG
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWdeYU8TjZ1
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAchxjhz7973
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAT9AtiXUT5g
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKr5xJHqZ7h
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAO6qwAePCz2
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPHnLiTjsbM
I shook my head. I was 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAAItgguBbYG
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAnQXIwLG02S
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 1083Please respect copyright.PENANALU2JF5XG8w
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.1083Please respect copyright.PENANABMT78WDLO6
After walking a few feet1083Please respect copyright.PENANAp6rO2bma0Z
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAJQtdg34MLS
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was1083Please respect copyright.PENANA2TZ5Xfcxtg
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAIW7K4fsEBf
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfGqlarBd4c
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAsyAyT54AsU
None of them answered as1083Please respect copyright.PENANADPHMjmEuWq
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAIx9H3DPcrx
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 1083Please respect copyright.PENANArFMsgae8oF
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPtF4pCMAGR
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAUPXJOmZwhl
"I wasn't going to say 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAJVV3uPrktT
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKZFjEJQjYi
you would want to hear from me is advice."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAcjhtAGSysJ
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAy0RNrZI0Va
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1CQ2GCezW0
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAiBZ9hWGHqg
"I'm still upset, though."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAdaI2AdHLrC
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFi9C8z9LOi
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtzPoMEtBBi
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAwQmQW1f8yh
I gave TOP an assuring 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAqPlrGoFVwb
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way1083Please respect copyright.PENANADyQJM9OonB
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAoD53AYs3KJ
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I1083Please respect copyright.PENANAaOqJIjF7rU
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8NsKBPR6SY
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPHmZptnJKU
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAIZZmLaZ6Hx
We all found ourselves 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAekYoz5889A
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYuBGQ0QDCF
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 1083Please respect copyright.PENANArOXeU0IrOV
were waiting for me. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAdZlaXUWBBb
"Hey, Sam, you don't 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1t4BNcQPj9
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfloC8E6ZYX
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAj8ZLfOa9mg
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAlHaarhnel4
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGrcmrJ9LU5
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFO0keFOk07
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch1083Please respect copyright.PENANANmNzYr81be
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAMvVWRqNvLk
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAppLYy3if0e
I had my eyes closed 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAA72i8M9foX
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9Lasobf5HW
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAyyQVgLJjAw
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjcJhFpZ6hO
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAshbjyjTcB4
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."1083Please respect copyright.PENANArFbkUGxBMD
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKOviD056Pb
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAR8SPbBEtUY
Taeyang led me to his 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAX83QR7VyHf
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAR2gICrJB7x
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA4zg6z0ctMw
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAzpabTR1Qtf
In about thirty minutes,1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1XcUkjdBur
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAcupJwbkrPi
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKuqnVf3brv
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA18LMiTgEsy
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWnoyIrcXC0
appeared out of the elevator.1083Please respect copyright.PENANABbM4L0rYE2
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPWDlarW6zn
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPNvcCdyNza
Lee who stood behind 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYGf7Ae7QPP
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAI8UI0es6Jr
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAZamCC6SNH8
other things in mind.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAeDHcAjjHqp
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAy1pe5wrrNt
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAaR67lggiST
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAxvjisaIbUZ
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAh6LTP7EqjD
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANABfCdpNWSXo
"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."1083Please respect copyright.PENANACTE7kbCh4n
There was an awkward 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAS6tognaSuh
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,1083Please respect copyright.PENANAeKJ66kqR4M
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA6StTi4Lfen
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAy4hZ4inX8p
"Well, I hear the press 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAqPwfsaTa15
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon1083Please respect copyright.PENANAdFE8qglRrd
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWYMkd7AZ76
"That won't be 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAETnhoe1bTL
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHZTHOyjiAO
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8TiGmwvHEc
go to the press looking all wet."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFp4gVMOlZZ
I breathed out a sigh of1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7QnYxHbP2c
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7CgnwsZHwS
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQrqfX3FfwG
"In the meantime, you go1083Please respect copyright.PENANARY4Pp4eFOy
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAsxrS20XQhH
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAJL74g7CRQD
I nodded my head in 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA421E9rqNlq
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 1083Please respect copyright.PENANArGjjyrdqGe
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.1083Please respect copyright.PENANALXRlgvf1MS
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAr9O5ER9NFd
"Alright," I said 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQKLQQuDfHu
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAoAYf8mg68t
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like1083Please respect copyright.PENANArl2zjOLY1f
I was only making things worse.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAeoUsRFagp2
Before I turned to leave1083Please respect copyright.PENANAmnQu4IoM5l
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAm2jdbvcEJP
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEG1G0CKfqr
one.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgkErzJkRBR
***1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgsl9Nnhybb
I sat on the couch all 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAhJUNpqyOV5
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued1083Please respect copyright.PENANA52u3MB18IF
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAxH50Haa7yW
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAcwoy00IHBO
I had a box of paper 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAzgDlVUUuy7
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8PSJIgqH3z
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 1083Please respect copyright.PENANARKF1QUKfZi
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtcfr5G0Vat
I continued watching the1083Please respect copyright.PENANAs7XDDuTNLc
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7oScexpAot
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAM6nFhhfmfu
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAMqs5USoo78
"Never better," I said, 1083Please respect copyright.PENANALFxh8qAeGi
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 1083Please respect copyright.PENANApkHC9YxqzP
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfrpbnGvJGe
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1rfq9LHynU
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAN45oeG6AJ4
"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.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGrmXghLKyP
"And the others?" 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXx8jVZBJNY
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA3I1NNtIvHI
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.1083Please respect copyright.PENANASi43Xh4c1k
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtudmjgsbpH
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.1083Please respect copyright.PENANALXc3M1JL6u
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAnFJjdqlxyy
"You don't know or you are?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAn2YcK6s2og
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.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA63SskoF8DV
"I don't know, Tae," I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEb78oXgjMJ
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAV6MZcEZyyN
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHctjtg9Pic
forget all that happened yesterday."1083Please respect copyright.PENANACVozYG3ZgA
"Ya, I understand. They 1083Please respect copyright.PENANABhWdEoCwn2
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 1083Please respect copyright.PENANADNBgOfm9an
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfGpmI8PiuD
going to get."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGOC6oHhz9n
I looked on at Taeyang 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAp1r75gEeU1
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAb32k1iiYp1
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAVtQAteJEcR
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1kbiA9fwBQ
who was as tough as nails.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA51VfC8hd0B
Last night, I took the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPizonJM2WY
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFsD4hGty1B
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAuQlYCJ9YOu
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAdiTyKh4c2B
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAET0jrIq305
Apparently, the managers1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXc2lVA0wW1
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7OZ5lnt6Zi
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought1083Please respect copyright.PENANAbr7uTnnhSO
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFpfzIpIyIl
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAur93aE666d
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAyTZZ4qjHKJ
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAELP7lAfyHs
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAShqM7ldJwT
and the reporters.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAUMrowuDqGy
After my confrontation 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA2utP94dBSO
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I1083Please respect copyright.PENANAw5KdDhI6Yj
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,1083Please respect copyright.PENANAwMHJiKwO3Q
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFjveKGJyqq
"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."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAg1WaAX9dsx
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQPxbcduacv
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAUF8MRjKO3C
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXSbuti7k1h
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZktcONZM9
"Have you tried talking to GD?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAmeF27IkC9U
"To be honest, I haven't1083Please respect copyright.PENANAac23dLdf0w
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAwvze96fYwU
slap him in the face if I see him."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7zD5wS9HO2
"I don't doubt that."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAwfOfOAcGO4
"And thank goodness my 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ3UzBnnrW
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ4b9nMGXN
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I1083Please respect copyright.PENANAxeI5OD4BcN
want to do is watch some TV."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPgeCDEC1jm
I quickly drank my 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAvkm4zBOrNa
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAI30jqD5dKc
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAibYkm0ciOy
to.1083Please respect copyright.PENANApYRQQHizvK
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAVjoLA1293G
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAL0CjWKioTk
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGPA97B4XHk
"Nope."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3890Qi8dW
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAX9XKJ6IyTp
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgiQ1aMMeUS
Taeyang didn't say 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9Uo60iPj0L
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGgOKAMyBTH
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAws1WHUkDNf
"I know you fought or 1083Please respect copyright.PENANASbj1KzvMZR
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAdzsibE0GjG
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA2kslywlQW3
I noticed Taeyang smile 1083Please respect copyright.PENANALMB1XTk90R
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAmfQEiTFLvp
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7OAjNP1qSv
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAiBKxAArSYC
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAACVoiA8r81
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAvLWi7YDXiZ
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?1083Please respect copyright.PENANAnLlijAKkoU
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAuy0poIdg9V
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAH6DhCuLfB3
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA4aEwgmkhFJ
Before I could finish my1083Please respect copyright.PENANApZUavvHaGN
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA6mHmAYj05v
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAd2O3UnikP2
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAm1BOX2jRbA
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAqhrjYJoKYU
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q1OUXc5E9
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAnCOyDzNP4i
"Yep, cheers to that." 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgy5HudxD4z
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtWqQkYLAlW
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjMfuHZSXv5
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAk1K1RRJI2b
"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."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1wRTehVSeF
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."1083Please respect copyright.PENANARMwjUZ7DIU
"Wow, that sounds personal."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFiagUzAurE
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAS7ZiWFebWc
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAP4h3eVQI7d
"I think I've a better 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAdjzYxfqCbt
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA6M7IpTu6Kz
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9iXkuM51Fe
lyrics. It's better that way."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9ebfbtZFES
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANACdDomzmUBc
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAK2ZPAOioPg
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAmcN2VFoxhq
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAOyxUW3M1J9
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAaozIytSWDB
"Haha, good point."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAbIQlqGwwUa
Taeyang and I continued 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPynnJE26r5
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAvUxGUZbvtA
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAp3lWedFRf8
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we1083Please respect copyright.PENANAaBGPasyitV
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAg0awZVb3gG
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 1083Please respect copyright.PENANArAUbTxpG3B
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEaEqclCNI8
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQhOx1Q1Pbb
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAaCpkxAGxJT
While the two of us were1083Please respect copyright.PENANAIAxgIlHVms
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQUzRbtvC6F
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgLOPAiFnMx
I quickly went over to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1JBIf1easX
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7t4HSLtpyS
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung1083Please respect copyright.PENANAeY8FWhNxKY
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could1083Please respect copyright.PENANA2GDmdWJlw4
come up and I put the receiver down.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAD6LsHNm1EP
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA4PKf4yykXx
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."1083Please respect copyright.PENANARlESAdtDQj
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYvCupem9IW
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFy05aTEBZy
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAAUpVR8TPGr
"Eww, that pillow 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAcfr1SVGDGh
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAlxq71KktvQ
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjRT61z0x7S
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.1083Please respect copyright.PENANActAa3WMqWP
A few seconds later, we 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAATB4mtK4Lq
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 1083Please respect copyright.PENANACFtbYKp31Y
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8OJ0iyDn0w
holding a box of chocolates.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAW2SkHmKBJZ
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAh8L7hnqbGv
"Ah, no, the panda is a 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGkava7Mzcs
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAAOpn77PaUB
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAuDgjogQwVX
same time.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAkn5kv4oX8n
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYixqEaWX21
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAvhhmEe7xmN
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHm0wmenYC7
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA3ljFFYRocS
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAiRWucCqFVK
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAc4QGmSfCZK
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9eFjeOb25p
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1Qg7zkyFS
"For goodness sake, I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA5xZ3eb11Nm
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 1083Please respect copyright.PENANArGivf7CaYQ
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAL5PQ0vtu05
scared with me."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAK6Dj9dr9Vo
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPvZJujgKLc
I took the panda in my 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAERjxyRkQs0
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAaY6PsBPeeu
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQb6u8AClOx
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1Rq6oBtkoY
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAAD0U1OqasG
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA5qxHHFzYKl
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQTw7pXsOET
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANA0H3YGZzLB4
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgAWunGCYlo
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAvOE1sX3j1P
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I1083Please respect copyright.PENANAabkYmgScTJ
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAxUrIwnyOUd
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 1083Please respect copyright.PENANASL3ZAWIEN2
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA6mYMelpzux
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQZYVZq3USj
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAx8CIpFtP8I
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA67c30Kb2ad
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAd8bemLaDay
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA3HVEJu49bc
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAd7xTLou7Ij
"Ya, I do."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAqGJwCppQxe
While the four of us 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFRf4jVyr7E
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAqztSicTiVh
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1lnONT9mE3
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAi2H5HnicSI
said:1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1L5rpD5ByQ
"Hey, Zoey." 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjeGQ35yoff
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAABzl2Z9zRw
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAdI3hfefRoU
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAi7zwQI3bMv
"It's good you came to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9xMV3ZhXW2
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANADn5ijq7Es8
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtMWPh6QgA5
couch.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA12WWN5J2F7
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAZc1CEktKJq
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAelyTx2CwHj
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAOhzt1gytXW
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA831CJTqKcM
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.1083Please respect copyright.PENANALaRlHjDn6e
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA39XYdWVRgu
I tugged at my panda's 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZLmpWw6Qk
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it1083Please respect copyright.PENANAxLUfeAOn6f
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtWiXqT2E3w
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAaJiVnofP55
The Toxins came back to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAS4sY2FVOOX
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held1083Please respect copyright.PENANA5zPdxIHpwr
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8Lt919JbNz
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAJARdJ4Kb6p
For a moment, no one 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAOhXCmdWfPP
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA3OhQqcAkHn
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA6l0x7hjO6P
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAIDWKemL55T
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAv8R3Uf1FT4
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXtzMsim0F9
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAn2fIXC3Frs
I stared up at the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANABNg7R7XVEE
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 1083Please respect copyright.PENANANNJzag1g2g
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAIjJOyfSBR8
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."1083Please respect copyright.PENANASAZ5fCpyDE
When Zoey tried to reach1083Please respect copyright.PENANAikD2LJE8Cb
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAo92gtI2h9T
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.1083Please respect copyright.PENANArDEm0qAkSG
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXm0zsu6ea5
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWp7ciCyXSO
Zoey looked hurt with 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAe3vtLDP4kY
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAiwNBMPYOeI
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA92SyKboXTB
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAvkwpvYI6aS
I didn't answer as I put1083Please respect copyright.PENANAp6NhwrgCrC
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I1083Please respect copyright.PENANAbDstsq4oe8
was still mad, especially at Zoey.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWQpTQHGcT8
"I know it's a little 1083Please respect copyright.PENANASRhpZK6Jz8
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEnWoiW1ChF
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXB5O6aTgOP
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA64L0sVSx7p
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAy1GA9NI4ad
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAaIOk1YJy60
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAMZnswk4uRm
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfvZFYP46Ri
"I don't like it when 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtUYMnxaWIt
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAs8seKy60ke
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGAoCF7M5nc
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAJcsRqkXNVP
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKSUGnqu7gy
sorry, Sam."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAD0gB6QJ1is
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAZpXU2W8aSj
"I'm sorry too," said 1083Please respect copyright.PENANATQnYi5sZvi
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8CcPkQ1zp3
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfw3FOJZ6gc
for you to talk to us again."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAenKMmMKDa6
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEMyXcOwXbT
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQGXTG1pOrs
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 1083Please respect copyright.PENANALndjX9ErNC
leader."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAX7AC7BNtE4
I still didn't say a 1083Please respect copyright.PENANASZRP7nC5v6
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANADIqixNb7II
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFMHVJrJvhE
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA4j52iMhx0M
them despite the awful things they put me through.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAl1VfIaumlZ
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAA0ehVcVHlU
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8P0EZLSqkv
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA2P3YTopvrD
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEClrQjWqAl
"I'm mad and pretty much1083Please respect copyright.PENANA34ziB07jbb
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAhNqtpO6yLm
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA6opMTDEPqN
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjyx6Gb22SS
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."1083Please respect copyright.PENANACRLghHKBUa
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.1083Please respect copyright.PENANArFvj1JHYan
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAOiyWkfkFWY
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQyMrvNRnmy
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAyYhdOKeCiw
"Ah, you! Always acting 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAMlOuYqbQm1
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYQYPij4PwO
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtcUqzlp8YP
catch it anyway."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAoVHNENvWfa
Christine, Daniel and 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAZetC4rt3PL
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1t92L68RQm
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAy3XAt3j41G
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.1083Please respect copyright.PENANADlcqi3T895
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgTqebe7VVO
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAkBP0Et1bKe
"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...."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAUfCQJOSAUp
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.1083Please respect copyright.PENANARyawfxAkI9
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."1083Please respect copyright.PENANApxIusKdIml
"Don't worry, you won't 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHoJCR8ZSjy
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAh8WGTbLObh
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAwghSH9yWdn
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA4iXKJ6tZoz
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHsjKinbzZ4
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHz1sHhrKD4
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."1083Please respect copyright.PENANASqrAXrdq17
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAuDrYuzrRvP
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXYVnr2VSbE
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANArnyqV1T20h
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA0Sq0gYK4nd
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjAvBpqt7XG
At that moment, I had 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAqNIMj6z1B4
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAvTOKBxColU
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAj0UqREKgPl
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA4ljkYnBGTN
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGbpsJlYQMP
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAskATpF8Muu
Zoey got the box of 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAAC9UIqhX6y
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAk4RPvu3E0C
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAetISNP8Ziu
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAIiOEOHICvU
I was in the passage as I1083Please respect copyright.PENANAj9TAo6SWyf
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAf2XvxiavHf
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHKqBTDyvJK
in what felt like sadness.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXnUjAM1Xk8
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgT2AiQOwP8
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."1083Please respect copyright.PENANASdF6LDWaZO
I heard his footsteps 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAd2nZYGEcDA
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAleIStWsNOF
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.1083Please respect copyright.PENANALVmv5SVHke
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA49SPHrxfBp
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAqRs0uqGLIk
"Are we really do this right now?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8anYjNYcmi
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8xAuzoF5QU
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjAQ9o3I6yh
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFN02CkZKVs
"Nope." 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAphpQ07ULkr
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAAbmLPLPQSr
My eyes almost felt like1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEgdwcuv681
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAnay9RNwvUl
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXk41I3aClM
I turned to look at him 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKcH85Ci2Q2
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAcY75r6WNiK
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAh9Os9N61wO
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAikXlu8SJoC
"That you're surrounded 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA5j5JTcfu0L
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAytgaOuPHXH
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjrrwICgYjy
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAR8ZMvkQBaQ
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA66tj85f072
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGxhsWIF15c
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7q8OSwSbtS
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtFgGGHmi30
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAASLbU2jyLi
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAkPTA0hJwUe
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHNdVWmQWEb
Apparently, I couldn't 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAIizKb7OxbJ
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANACQ9TynPftD
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAzOM7ufCOBc
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAvuFu8Aw0nx
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAj8dGeAoGBs
death.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA6l7zBQXM8Y
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHj1Ch2Ok1t
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQWZQ14A9Pn
Taeyang folded his arms 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8uH43BPJLN
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think1083Please respect copyright.PENANAd53pg1qAtf
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAzufTWCXlLJ
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAl8aglqaXFq
"You're may think you're1083Please respect copyright.PENANAV9F5pvIDat
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAs0QIljBrxr
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA4IHSD1UfoM
but feeling hurt."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA0MCpG0356p
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAqKNWwilBRL
"But I wouldn't feel 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGEy6ZmSNfk
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAs63aZgmgAt
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAnsehjaHIV5
at Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAD2QtKeibp0
Taeyang gave me that 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAdT4hoYL08B
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAiFJslrlZ9p
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAMB3i4QiIzp
while in return, he nodded.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYTLqj0kYu1
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAly8rnjlRwl
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgfQ50tdHRh
I didn't say a word as I1083Please respect copyright.PENANAviUQXIL63X
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my1083Please respect copyright.PENANA3Uru0Dk6QT
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAkTOD7proQr
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA5aXLkaEdfo
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAP7h3b9aAZq
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."1083Please respect copyright.PENANARPLNkYj66f
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAT1vTFjSgl8
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAw0bl7DIPW1
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAqy6HixrSeL
If there was ever a way I1083Please respect copyright.PENANAP311nTguhs
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWUBQmy42n1
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAABI8IfwrUg
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXYxzNZOik3
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWP5j1wyoux
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9OoizOx1pb
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.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEPxj1fyhg3
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA3McyuqqPSq
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHtJabkGzE1
"Well, I'm just asking,"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAmDhhTVkYBl
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,1083Please respect copyright.PENANANBwzGTydUp
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAT3IKT8GAEW
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAzdYBNA3gyR
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgmTxlSmfuB
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAwHtwrp0wot
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7kCrJPoPCe
I pressed the button 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAntD8iz5COP
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 1083Please respect copyright.PENANApb08fXnY2O
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAR8yAbvRjrV
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAK9GDWoVSFc
We went to the main 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAckuoaeIu7p
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8MQRADKhwc
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAmRAzdc7SZN
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAcEqZ9nPBI0
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfaOsbdZqMX
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAe34UIYnhsN
"To be honest, we just 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Fbxx1IsX
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAt74NRBO3TB
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1415YKuNP9
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAwZWO9wP1lc
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAZylMTiJyj5
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.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1oIPdrlE4d
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAUPlCpBlnlX
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAxm3dY4BZdx
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAmiJldJRGYk
"Nah, I don't think so,"1083Please respect copyright.PENANApmJ7zFWaao
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so1083Please respect copyright.PENANAOAz3W8GJWG
he would be treating me like that."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfOWHetvvZe
"Mmm, I don't think so,"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQcKpN8e7CW
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 1083Please respect copyright.PENANALXoCpRJMGz
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAw0dSgdNhCj
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAZoXPlQi3Np
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPRvSg1xlSq
"Then, stop trying to make one."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWGOoriWfLX
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAw99fdBp0EG
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAOePXCDmX1o
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA2rydkwwpHt
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8B3zWfPYBH
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAkg8VHQ8bYD
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAUjvGwDTi1J
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgXmRhufYlB
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAo0QbehUUv8
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAH79AV6ulY3
I didn't even dare try 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAbKXBNT4UK7
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAxufrpVMVen
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9PLZMKMeF
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAdGw0sdqSNp
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8YW7KwDOUD
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFxr7jjVIWP
I heard footsteps coming1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFIEHIA0Yt2
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA4tZ5IPbJyF
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zv8CJIysG
look at me.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAynKp5zmNbu
"Are you okay?" he whispered.1083Please respect copyright.PENANABpgaSUb7xd
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAwtcOv2jzUI
I soon felt strong hands1083Please respect copyright.PENANAeFErsY4fTf
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFL7Lni9HGZ
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAExkzaa3fTm
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAdM2NpPB1uI
"I'm a whole lot better,1083Please respect copyright.PENANAoOdobTfl3I
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAkDNWGDxOYa
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWy4SoXg0zr
"Glad to hear that."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAn5VjYUdEyO
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.1083Please respect copyright.PENANACXYST158wu
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXtCVAj7ENk
I was planning not to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA3loVtjQhWq
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8rGqpR8WPJ
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAV8FVd6367f
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to1083Please respect copyright.PENANAMEVaL2CF3P
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAsei3Zn1GNP
under the bridge.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA28Fjnhlssg
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7wHN1AkDyV
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA6iQtrjj4Wo
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAANVKMzc77d
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAUPVG90zpvG
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYEQwQ3OC1R
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAO416pa4DdK
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAD6ip0wxHDq
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAn0HCiEvLLC
The waiters soon came 1083Please respect copyright.PENANANvXY0KQY4G
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAJC1MwABWBh
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAyRGvUB45pi
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8DRkZYzGlE
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAb1o12AP6y9
For a moment, I felt 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAq5bj9bWuW4
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAazIIJM2G3K
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7aPPWRMlJ8
me to forget that I was ever mad.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAvZfaWuDreM
"Mmm, this is so 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAipBavl3T0N
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAwwYgEkpW9R
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA5QVNQHN63B
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAH96KmoVPV6
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."1083Please respect copyright.PENANABeHvOP6c6W
"Anything for you, Sam,"1083Please respect copyright.PENANA3KX0ondZ3f
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAS1pGrlEa7t
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAnkT73PBgj6
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAyz0pPfTseZ
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAAYCndjoZPT
I had just taken in some1083Please respect copyright.PENANAURwLH3OGkE
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAMtdDk8BFcM
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly1083Please respect copyright.PENANAO3BEUCUKBp
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAq8KVjYm7Y9
just said.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWEf8gJ1UEU
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA74rtfgm8e9
"Well, ya," Christine 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAdE2LrlfyOe
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWpF4hJCX6X
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA4DdO7aaLAq
special lunch to lighten your mood."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAlnpJuFjwLe
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.1083Please respect copyright.PENANADwzz6H6cFD
"Thanks for the lunch, 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAmWrpXSMX0s
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so1083Please respect copyright.PENANAraKgvPLH2x
sweet of you to have come up with this."1083Please respect copyright.PENANASt9PPbGj78
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYK9GfxtICJ
I almost felt like 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1fe3foQxWn
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjyGvlybzcD
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare1083Please respect copyright.PENANA5wEIpCdqZ8
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA42L87iIsZ0
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAL1DCSCGx0F
turning into rage?1083Please respect copyright.PENANA30O8GX732l
Oh, goodness. I needed 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA2OUgLd2mAH
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAOFBTAV31cy
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9PX054bxIO
I tried to push aside 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAsegzqsBi7F
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGWOBICnqN9
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAlEZjjBILag
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8z26H3QhUw
chocolate moussé.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA0LtxzrmBwR
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,1083Please respect copyright.PENANAc7CW8O6kFE
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAbbaKqdDuBd
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjtia7aH37C
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfqAvXwhpRw
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."1083Please respect copyright.PENANACSqLVYIThN
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAUElFKhW6PE
I didn't wait for 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA4dZOV9ssAq
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I1083Please respect copyright.PENANAuSEzu5KklJ
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed1083Please respect copyright.PENANARUwHDprIsl
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPv5Vuy2MsJ
heaven.1083Please respect copyright.PENANADjmOKXlg3c
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYmS9RBWkBE
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1DmYdZrR1V
"I don't care," I said 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAX04ekVxyXI
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKK2IICdbWv
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtcEB7uaaOR
G-Dragon smiled back at 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA6OTvSexwJk
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1xmRwslalq
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAETq1X4eL41
away.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAoQPPgCEPYJ
After dessert, we all 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAAaQRYSJsl8
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAiVoXWV8tqi
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfuoueR8haB
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAxDtOAU3kVA
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ7pjCbz5k
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAtJxzW8edVM
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA21JwIvsAM4
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAirBbx4q3bZ
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAZlAZQUNEXb
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAwmC2bX6pEW
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYqYjDh2JYi
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAOglTtZkNAo
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAspg2LyePWP
"What stuff?" TOP asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAIv2MlsClOD
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAH3KFHkYTxY
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAIM1oVFfExD
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAJjaoVX56kj
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAeFwjCE2xxF
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.1083Please respect copyright.PENANArhECftCITT
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8w1c55rdzP
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPQKH6nvThE
"Wait, what's going on?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAp8UVGBoMJ4
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAp6wsL5FCnb
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAOqvo2gHhJi
"I thought we should all1083Please respect copyright.PENANAb4W6MVce1l
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYkTcwkmOU6
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAU6Jf7icz0u
"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.1083Please respect copyright.PENANASN4mUUEepu
"I don't know, I feel we1083Please respect copyright.PENANARk6DtWtyUl
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9gFBpyutHS
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGdiTPvNLS1
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAxvSvjCJX1W
"I don't get it though,"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKu3EuuCDCa
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAchIxNlHZdq
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1YNtioS2os
the lyrics?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQtqiFivKtS
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAJqkA0kx56r
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAgn63lfw5Wn
This time, I also raised1083Please respect copyright.PENANAfHuI2ha4nR
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 1083Please respect copyright.PENANALYtwlOHQrA
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAnt6e1pgnfR
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANApcGZ6CuTiK
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAzwd7XMs2lO
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAcHdTlSzuws
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAzyZAb2PMmg
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEdlMDsQS14
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHVMZnZCD44
By the way G-Dragon 1083Please respect copyright.PENANASHm6OwJdiM
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAoDw5cXt4la
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And1083Please respect copyright.PENANAOSdMhTOW52
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYNYHEo7FyL
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAiqkQRBEYN2
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPer2TWjYnn
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAMgVyVGvnIj
"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."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHaJn0PBAo4
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAUiO2yL7Qpo
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAm5NPr71KaG
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA0bCVnNgaly
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAIkRU1BHlGd
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAS0YskEmjZ4
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAYPexVNUBbM
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXndDo6rOf8
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."1083Please respect copyright.PENANACsbyuqM69e
"What truth?" I asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAlCxX88mcV1
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."1083Please respect copyright.PENANABhxD1ITbya
Taeyang was right. I was1083Please respect copyright.PENANATvIxdSQLgk
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA8wCm0aTpJP
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAFLbmd3LAp0
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 1083Please respect copyright.PENANARAK57wrJBS
attention.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAybw5wmdCZy
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."1083Please respect copyright.PENANABNLRHINJG2
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAna2psrYUsl
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel1083Please respect copyright.PENANAeGCEf4M4MX
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zt44Uj1V7
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!1083Please respect copyright.PENANADn7ZNzCHx3
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAEsRjkSgGj6
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9iKOxxyyxj
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAopsdjleav1
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKNh8oB2CHx
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAweJ8qpSwSx
"But I....." 1083Please respect copyright.PENANACY4mRs5yys
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 1083Please respect copyright.PENANATwzt6ClIcc
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've1083Please respect copyright.PENANAv7iLJuneQf
talked way too much, don't you think?"1083Please respect copyright.PENANAWQOm60Y4pi
That felt like a slap in1083Please respect copyright.PENANA5VJwjPt7Io
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAmiks15ulOO
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAinOUxH3NMQ
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 1083Please respect copyright.PENANANYKIIGuBbB
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAqoXEL0XQSB
about what I thought was best for the whole group?1083Please respect copyright.PENANAF6JWMfTQQD
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA526d9OzYi2
"That's fine with me," said Mike.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAPYBm6ifkNU
Everyone else agreed, 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAInZF5VGdDV
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA7DUzjox2Xd
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAQ73ERg2HdJ
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAInmijEUpe2
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAMbOS9HZ3TG
B, just in case.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAoswFideWBK
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.1083Please respect copyright.PENANANKW4ArA4Fc
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAacFPw07fwP
"Not now, Sam. We will 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKCMk0eTEAt
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjDveh4ghId
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAymQCQ71qRW
gave me goosebumps.1083Please respect copyright.PENANABFEa9v6ER1
"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."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAty6gfzT2Zh
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 1083Please respect copyright.PENANA3lehNImDET
One by one everyone 1083Please respect copyright.PENANASSCtirAd4n
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjTMmpQxbKf
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem1083Please respect copyright.PENANAHWSkXE5smo
appropriate.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA75jk6XIs3u
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAhISBu1Z7hg
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAopPe8lJkU1
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAi2gvBJCc7r
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.1083Please respect copyright.PENANA4kEs6z3Jat
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAKs2L2eYkJQ
"It's not that. I pissed1083Please respect copyright.PENANA3ScjQookID
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take1083Please respect copyright.PENANAjkMVqBUIQj
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."1083Please respect copyright.PENANAAnt3PSDzkr
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA1YBH77tIY5
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."1083Please respect copyright.PENANA9eGgZiJRSA
Taeyang placed his hand 1083Please respect copyright.PENANApcsxOsz0RO
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He1083Please respect copyright.PENANAnzw9yyFikl
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.1083Please respect copyright.PENANAGH6L6002oj
I knew I had to hope for1083Please respect copyright.PENANAK48bmhepCi
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut1083Please respect copyright.PENANACrxyhlnoDu
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 1083Please respect copyright.PENANASfRElaxEqr
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAkifEHNLyFv
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 1083Please respect copyright.PENANAXdObEgr2kn
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
