The water felt like a 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEKievpQVrJ
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqje4pD3fuh
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAktuB9LAG7c
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdmFWIfC9rI
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAFuydzXUFuZ
breathe. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANArzQeXqW7KD
I pushed myself upwards 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmyiryQqhsv
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of1077Please respect copyright.PENANAG2BwAYaXWR
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXPxArzberk
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANACT6vY62LyE
edge.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAX9YxkdjUV9
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGXNmjloPt2
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZKeLx8TGbQ
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3DYSJxhYB7
I looked ridiculously 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAO1lQsSpr6p
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAx35vMn4flE
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAjk9NmOuKQE
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5AGzoD7Gt
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 1077Please respect copyright.PENANATtSfYyEByD
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ6KjFLu6p
I looked around me and 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAjMexiYloFs
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAN160lN27RT
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQY4IM4xe4f
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAxsD3mg5ERL
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAaO7uoprQg6
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA4EGGuSwwNI
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAAmsgElp4zx
I heard Zoey and the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAAx53rXJz6F
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlyQAmKiPfu
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAeUg1Y1PD2B
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAuxWehcYaTP
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's1077Please respect copyright.PENANAczzAySW56o
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAfnPlLxGXDf
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8zKC50OEWd
"I already told you, I'm1077Please respect copyright.PENANAtkNaHpjrJI
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlXs5JE4dL6
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA0tbzjqvNSG
from anyone.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnX5n8eoQv6
I made my way towards GD1077Please respect copyright.PENANAajLBiDGT9H
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what1077Please respect copyright.PENANAojyIOe0nRM
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEmwi7xNQBh
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAueTh3xz5eQ
"Oh, man, Sam," said 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAVhXbvmd9GS
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAFrRBYl7krF
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAk3z0NCRGxc
game. Hope you didn't mind."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdefwkOA31H
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAYmRmMmaXTv
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAv4wTMB0HaZ
"I told you, our 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAC4OmpyzTB5
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANADvqquD8loc
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA30hd0WqCvE
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAz3RHXFGO2c
Daesung.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAtDtN65zJbF
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA6f5fz5KYXj
I dialled Lee's number 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5TOScodoBi
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 1077Please respect copyright.PENANACKJXZ3EgDX
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAiJQK4wTC9o
They would know soon enough.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAfmUDExVgPD
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAIlU85lbK9T
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUuZSnUPaIC
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1NAzjHsejU
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAuI2SqNcGz0
"No, not yet. But you 1077Please respect copyright.PENANATD9620MvUw
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9CFX5fO7Dy
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAK4u7K24gws
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAAQoMHEBqTu
"Okay, I'll be waiting."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAhtOXd0X4cf
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUWG5Zz291v
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzME7ttKMaE
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAm2MbOzi5Pt
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAl0woslpuxE
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZVkpB7WNbS
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAuW1fhlT06x
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7xDYjNTNp
I shook my head. I was 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAfTEYS5A3wA
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMmbFjt5Dr1
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlaPb131tho
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1AoQESEFfG
After walking a few feet1077Please respect copyright.PENANAOXxahKaZZy
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 1077Please respect copyright.PENANALjjfaU9SWP
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was1077Please respect copyright.PENANAYGFjgeo2SH
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAIA1Ki3WpdS
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAbczAAZEXqd
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAhs8HiR6Kwo
None of them answered as1077Please respect copyright.PENANAu6FVg7VPn8
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8mtvDLHOmc
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmBpUvwpKj3
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3DECZCiaAp
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoc4073JzkY
"I wasn't going to say 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAFV7Tx3GCjx
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmfEsVr7pnA
you would want to hear from me is advice."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAm0LmUqVfeB
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwgAXEngpWo
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA2miXQnJsue
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAeQFnQi3Gd8
"I'm still upset, though."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoacOqQHfuc
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8vCbHVJF39
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAAr3LGQrl2h
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."1077Please respect copyright.PENANACmNpEoilx5
I gave TOP an assuring 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyHls5Lefx2
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way1077Please respect copyright.PENANAFu1wOKP5x1
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAu1IPBgrxH3
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I1077Please respect copyright.PENANAw0VMzjNuKu
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't1077Please respect copyright.PENANAPzbPbODn5n
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdSxdCak8SS
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.1077Please respect copyright.PENANALzdTrId2Kq
We all found ourselves 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMJKRmo8ty0
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins1077Please respect copyright.PENANAtHAFYI2KqY
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAd0GbAHLnKM
were waiting for me. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAB4KXPlQa6v
"Hey, Sam, you don't 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAC60erkbNdz
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnkLVwOo5bn
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQTNhD1tCP4
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAJfV4STQRcT
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 1077Please respect copyright.PENANACh77OFGM2j
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKbr26m80pt
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch1077Please respect copyright.PENANAVCrnEybqTv
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8gdeAzAlR
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.1077Please respect copyright.PENANALvW8BfCxp1
I had my eyes closed 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAB3ar4F0HAl
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUVxKCQ4wek
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGU3b18VQis
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwk1CMGwcT5
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.1077Please respect copyright.PENANActBalfmgEp
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyUaB63gDpz
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAG2HqTR0FQU
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmAM5cpRxWA
Taeyang led me to his 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAJFTX7mqIex
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1B4Imh8nAG
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAcV4NHSLKty
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAcDoM9KhY6z
In about thirty minutes,1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlRXLxki7M1
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAcjJRw3VAq3
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAL164YDicWT
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAe8PLI2BpgW
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAbNwv3pylW4
appeared out of the elevator.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAY3r5wbb0Ps
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzFSfZYIGSh
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAOICmbiZype
Lee who stood behind 1077Please respect copyright.PENANABauKg5JcZ3
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZWe7NyYunf
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAsF9DOu2G6L
other things in mind.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAo09ggHqeNW
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANADNGK7sdf5B
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 1077Please respect copyright.PENANANGLmILFW1U
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5jCUQe60Wn
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAkWvEjG4riz
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmjkamuxn1X
"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."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmatYCFq8Zd
There was an awkward 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA7pYgUTkJmV
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,1077Please respect copyright.PENANAHZnmCaTuyJ
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZgNp2Dz7V
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAbrDloDXUdF
"Well, I hear the press 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAguBxsRjpOG
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon1077Please respect copyright.PENANAttPZSiD67t
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAhUGOYhIk6U
"That won't be 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAhyfJHc7ZTD
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 1077Please respect copyright.PENANADEMcqR27QL
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to1077Please respect copyright.PENANAPuJiTjUeoN
go to the press looking all wet."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA6kC2SgFI2W
I breathed out a sigh of1077Please respect copyright.PENANADJ7maRBQBV
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAfCdjKTTfwy
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnu0QAOZDop
"In the meantime, you go1077Please respect copyright.PENANA0RB5eEthar
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAicJfA9pQCO
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAy46IRn8GXS
I nodded my head in 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAemphVenbGb
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA7pDl0xtvAG
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAaKgbZ1d8Ss
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyWe5Hui3Gq
"Alright," I said 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAYZVBqWJYX6
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 1077Please respect copyright.PENANADeqQJcEtMK
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9RnTCclufY
I was only making things worse.1077Please respect copyright.PENANANnG6Mku42i
Before I turned to leave1077Please respect copyright.PENANA2fjcuiX37o
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 1077Please respect copyright.PENANADdz9PGdDx8
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMHUQUVVqlW
one.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwKkAZM2xU4
***1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKOexW0U70R
I sat on the couch all 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAkXOpVdvwpO
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGvcRCMEuUm
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5RgmD3ss3d
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAVMmHIeW2Oy
I had a box of paper 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAH1qXmoaZN7
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2WRXlVpyA
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoAqIFKilIl
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1TVlvlU9W
I continued watching the1077Please respect copyright.PENANADlHcnRllNQ
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 1077Please respect copyright.PENANALW5fzSrwMh
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAa9woNNovf4
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8u3mhumlyt
"Never better," I said, 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdvTYv4AW9H
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUO1CuXZTpZ
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3xnAEJBVjn
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdRPN6QScMd
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.1077Please respect copyright.PENANATfrmJlOGyt
"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.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAun161vHoh2
"And the others?" 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlWXU8b3YV0
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAz2zaxK8Fgy
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.1077Please respect copyright.PENANATwARMJ3hP5
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA4nuzDx3gW7
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAWOUGbjxUCn
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9eC6nah7yw
"You don't know or you are?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANArkqGMmXFhD
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.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAln26WexTDB
"I don't know, Tae," I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAawzonH6c0l
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAHUihuhTWu5
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAsfM9QgqWzM
forget all that happened yesterday."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnCR8Owo3cc
"Ya, I understand. They 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwhNtSre65K
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAjdGas04IAz
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were1077Please respect copyright.PENANA7hUfdzL5WB
going to get."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAaWvIuPRAKk
I looked on at Taeyang 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8inOzAogOt
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAaT3YXl1N9P
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAOcu2TavVIQ
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAHV7RSL7Ppp
who was as tough as nails.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKjNv5UffPA
Last night, I took the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyKmBdB5RHu
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 1077Please respect copyright.PENANALcqTjk6YYK
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyGP3dvdpip
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQi9h5pArtq
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ8BPySFm2
Apparently, the managers1077Please respect copyright.PENANA0gkT1qAM3d
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAheTX6DTzxC
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought1077Please respect copyright.PENANANGrwnRbjjV
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAsxtFCNn0Gy
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 1077Please respect copyright.PENANApMBDybKBxs
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXEpSvmsKvU
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZBymRYDSKT
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAsuCXLLGoEc
and the reporters.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAjRai33qwlQ
After my confrontation 1077Please respect copyright.PENANASAc7Usp0gQ
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I1077Please respect copyright.PENANANnhVNhGSky
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1z2jlAwjVR
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMpVs5PPZ1z
"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."1077Please respect copyright.PENANACcFD2UEFvK
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAuWi3RfAMqt
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAR0CzbU5YZ4
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZznFfZtRB
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5VjzMLXxGN
"Have you tried talking to GD?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAIWtGSKfWrp
"To be honest, I haven't1077Please respect copyright.PENANAigo9rRTOyh
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAbXjtLsl6q8
slap him in the face if I see him."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlAhGDPEsN4
"I don't doubt that."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5makTL6X7g
"And thank goodness my 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKIJxaiFay1
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA4m1XevSXaO
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I1077Please respect copyright.PENANABeNgH6QOp1
want to do is watch some TV."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGFWuKmfd9y
I quickly drank my 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAJbOAwjXwFK
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA33JV4yz9QV
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAWnnGKcyuMO
to.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAxmSkU2POsr
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAppgGPMRcwI
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAJpeVHtPyDO
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8XMmav5qmC
"Nope."1077Please respect copyright.PENANACISXpyd14n
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGt7RMQqWGX
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAao1GJWvntT
Taeyang didn't say 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAjG94og9Zn7
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened1077Please respect copyright.PENANAcw4e3HzLiP
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA6n5jXeIT3p
"I know you fought or 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAiUzVf3jZvj
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAytdgB1nfVq
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAT60kXtVTob
I noticed Taeyang smile 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3d15rRo1YK
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAth0RwTXISs
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA226YHOMIrD
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.1077Please respect copyright.PENANALGRWzPmSS6
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlr0MkkBfj4
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."1077Please respect copyright.PENANApKHKaZlKOu
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?1077Please respect copyright.PENANAYlUvKO8LaW
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAPVrODMCJPV
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEdxXrThcoO
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAM8hyeOhHBz
Before I could finish my1077Please respect copyright.PENANAV1ACKrRVKE
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAsbqomn66Vk
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAhrAuf9qwCe
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.1077Please respect copyright.PENANANhftBdpyQE
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.1077Please respect copyright.PENANASPTeVHa1BU
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9ODGY5msHy
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAz0dbLfFl6e
"Yep, cheers to that." 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQegXqdyre8
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAeBxyDq9zfS
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAketXzR3X04
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANA7lpr28ye75
"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."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXeDV9WsmlO
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAv9KLPPBXpD
"Wow, that sounds personal."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAo7edTQsFx3
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmUmqKcchf9
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAM8lduS8Y0t
"I think I've a better 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAOPkKnwvvnd
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAPRLdoP97Nr
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3IJhtbDpAV
lyrics. It's better that way."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3JGkSd5Glp
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAfVG5pOf2dd
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."1077Please respect copyright.PENANANQTC5W1CVs
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."1077Please respect copyright.PENANASqRnG5xLch
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdABavn4wR3
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."1077Please respect copyright.PENANARZffseaEpg
"Haha, good point."1077Please respect copyright.PENANApDTg0ZdO3H
Taeyang and I continued 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnk0AryUjJ0
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1qlmbIowTI
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5gaikLP59n
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we1077Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZbdzEdvjb
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA2e8080DUy4
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAaOdHPOXeED
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 1077Please respect copyright.PENANANWjtfd4jJs
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKxlICQX503
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAVPlV0trb9i
While the two of us were1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEi5ZT4IzdM
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,1077Please respect copyright.PENANApTfZIYIEYi
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAo9VjoFaYGB
I quickly went over to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqUxt4L0TDc
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1QFuDvqBij
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGXFnVcxWlN
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEfVMmnc5t8
come up and I put the receiver down.1077Please respect copyright.PENANASftlwYHqqK
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQX3zRizVwK
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAI9UJ0Tc9ZF
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoYPPfyMbyZ
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQy8JqbN8O2
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA2u6Sh6I9R0
"Eww, that pillow 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAHY26CosIx9
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 1077Please respect copyright.PENANATQWiGktgy4
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnQkzpqbZRN
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAugH7672GSK
A few seconds later, we 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnbwCQbRl0f
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5mKmjvXckx
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoJw8d31Ws1
holding a box of chocolates.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3pU5HURNXH
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAfZG1bLDgib
"Ah, no, the panda is a 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMevKO2XUQB
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoqU431a8Gc
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9TOyigqlSg
same time.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8zzu2P5LUK
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA6x99QcYovW
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.1077Please respect copyright.PENANASm5w9RI18f
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAfAoWLbghPE
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."1077Please respect copyright.PENANABh7BWTTthD
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAIc7WqeOqbv
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8kRMjPG3mK
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8L52rT5izY
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAr4nawZ1jXi
"For goodness sake, I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANApt8W0Yy5l8
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAxb3mGHSe8F
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 1077Please respect copyright.PENANADPF6PUaeBh
scared with me."1077Please respect copyright.PENANApWaGizBaxI
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8WCvLPLv6R
I took the panda in my 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAJAqccCl5kE
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 1077Please respect copyright.PENANATfQ1shAXv5
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGiLoASvogL
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qq5aOnRkN
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA4i0FVZZudI
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKYFwn9ajhN
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5cvXsBtAUz
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoDda6ahXbw
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAgPJz6JprMR
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAYCIsaAhUUj
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I1077Please respect copyright.PENANAVGXwEtLE2T
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAPc0uuFBySz
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAR0MMq9W80e
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAWR28dMTQOY
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."1077Please respect copyright.PENANApxP2UltGBA
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAa2VkNHOxpt
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAeWjAG5SlcV
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMTim5pEM90
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAAetDeEYoqQ
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZRkwK1eHr
"Ya, I do."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAN44xqd4SH0
While the four of us 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAPPmk68cWOg
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwg4ZrbP9jF
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKi2BdgR0TB
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKApWzpDCiZ
said:1077Please respect copyright.PENANAue2fnke9PR
"Hey, Zoey." 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzaZmMbVtpE
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAaTa4DeWkyk
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAOX65wXtygl
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAhLLAhPOS4y
"It's good you came to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANADb7jBXghlC
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAbgWRvOCXkB
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAC1zHdAmrDv
couch.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAezAr8K03pQ
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKT4DuyvpPD
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"1077Please respect copyright.PENANARCHDrBJMVL
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGkXxmrBoXV
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAVw1yKsR48t
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAj1TDpVv4Tg
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAugJQ7fh2Sn
I tugged at my panda's 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAHtGkLzSnAr
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it1077Please respect copyright.PENANAX0OrJlk4zr
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking1077Please respect copyright.PENANAAOoap1IGAm
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlmvdjpQjoP
The Toxins came back to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMrmOLFvle6
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyPuIDyhKFn
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKZMOhI87Jm
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAymZxe5v22m
For a moment, no one 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoFw29eqk3Q
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAxIEugfhiat
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGDpEYNKSOF
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA04MGVjknlJ
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUhoIlObFwo
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEnmuR6MezO
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGspnzp16fm
I stared up at the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqeAcydWau8
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA4thrrIUfwI
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8niDJJc1Ak
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwRdmpcYxgc
When Zoey tried to reach1077Please respect copyright.PENANAHWY5eQFNGM
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlnyXb9iq38
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAl3GxBiCs1w
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdFyFAaCxV1
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAETFdKYQezf
Zoey looked hurt with 1077Please respect copyright.PENANArYU6O0qYkm
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAeZYyf9JVkR
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAAReC8wzyHq
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANARrDvtYnP8o
I didn't answer as I put1077Please respect copyright.PENANAszjiNwZ2yG
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I1077Please respect copyright.PENANAbnvocyJFaj
was still mad, especially at Zoey.1077Please respect copyright.PENANASXIqjiGat2
"I know it's a little 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9X6pqeOARr
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAueDsRedQMv
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlopldlnnbY
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 1077Please respect copyright.PENANADLXqK3W7oj
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANArVqSJaHxAj
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9jf9mdDfZR
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAtw35SfIMOv
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmXc1ees0oI
"I don't like it when 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMb0tLQJPY9
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA7cgxjb4zXd
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAL76GehBVKe
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 1077Please respect copyright.PENANADvaVUVdShb
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAq9K4Bm3qJ5
sorry, Sam."1077Please respect copyright.PENANABsEqFGRW7Q
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyMIe3bMFvt
"I'm sorry too," said 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAziAeTpWqSU
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAVpWl3lXBvw
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAjN9i0BFH5n
for you to talk to us again."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAu9NCUVQ78M
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAOWyriWmAyP
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAE0LgFi5UT9
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA6OazU6ORzK
leader."1077Please respect copyright.PENANACluGKSWpIC
I still didn't say a 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXmzGSqhiQO
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA2c20Gnkrld
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAsBnDybtyN6
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAz0QU7NNlJD
them despite the awful things they put me through.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAfOHo0WcwzX
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA0q3TesqV0G
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA4449Efnk77
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.1077Please respect copyright.PENANALmnzQAkDZ4
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwi3J1vlCAP
"I'm mad and pretty much1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlBhq4fRUfC
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAk2kWauSde0
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."1077Please respect copyright.PENANADlshZEkDhO
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlpMi5P1lYz
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEG70Uxwp5b
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAhWbLeH0kbY
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1BQ48Hh5Yk
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAHeBOqLKmHe
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1qy12S51B7
"Ah, you! Always acting 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAegimNQPCfl
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAfBwoCtgEpd
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA4t68VPSPHZ
catch it anyway."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAuqf0eLYcQs
Christine, Daniel and 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmmeoPQj1Cf
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUi7WrMlX4Z
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAU6LGtdtmcB
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAWCmqWFC2Kv
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnYVteiRr1M
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.1077Please respect copyright.PENANADZgmCkqGIz
"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...."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAbSeuySZYBB
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.1077Please respect copyright.PENANADvdVXfJrqc
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAJd6QSQeHrt
"Don't worry, you won't 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA36NUXu93Pg
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 1077Please respect copyright.PENANARwwEdPXYIo
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAVMjFcaZhQT
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA7plUMMO2M4
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwb3fiSO7Zt
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnTfmqM4dRW
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAURgqv9GXab
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAN3pQk7Msb3
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqgMn5mJPAI
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANApGDkdOMYqC
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMNTfhzScx7
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUH81SjOIlc
At that moment, I had 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyf5sDDSmP7
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1YSbR9614c
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.1077Please respect copyright.PENANARGHVeBOA7x
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANANEmuKNktvi
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAj3PhVA5pKY
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMH0cWn8Y1y
Zoey got the box of 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAD0MuO2Dapq
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAWo9bBepqBu
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAALQ1bybfaZ
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA4KUbcjmOV5
I was in the passage as I1077Please respect copyright.PENANAOQGgeZrhMy
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5xhBvkYNB8
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed1077Please respect copyright.PENANARxATAW14LC
in what felt like sadness.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAB5kF7DsZ0L
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAI1xhoUM958
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAw5arXMIR7W
I heard his footsteps 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAkG903jeapB
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyIEAafj1Xa
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwAxIaZfM8e
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAhTSxTlgBXA
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlr3FJr2KKP
"Are we really do this right now?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANATXn2fFqBJG
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKOmufyRi7d
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.1077Please respect copyright.PENANATF5yQ0epAy
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAaAvj6qAvZG
"Nope." 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAaiH22EDuWa
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAthlvKLrA8Z
My eyes almost felt like1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzXoSAlcO8h
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUy2txdNzcX
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZWmQN4OOKf
I turned to look at him 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqQKjvprSeC
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmP9xm0D8v3
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAurqXIybzQW
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyS4YC2pDEX
"That you're surrounded 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoVrubdPv5C
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 1077Please respect copyright.PENANANgh8acsdbw
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAq2jIh3FvrB
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlGqQcv8YG0
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAfX3kam1wUH
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlbkoBE5w25
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANABHW5AVetV6
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAsgI4cyLuLN
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAc6EGnvsimK
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAYlzdS4nlRY
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAidgqvy0zm9
Apparently, I couldn't 1077Please respect copyright.PENANADcVZfFvFRS
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAjOK25Oy2wH
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA0V5Ab5Z2k6
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAK2Ntvjp4Fa
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANASmeV8hTpQN
death.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA7Fi7cxVOmp
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1aAVE01KXC
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."1077Please respect copyright.PENANASSkkC2WL1v
Taeyang folded his arms 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUWsY5tSLZO
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think1077Please respect copyright.PENANA04BvDCGWjH
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."1077Please respect copyright.PENANArbjbKdruaZ
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8iUvlh9eUW
"You're may think you're1077Please respect copyright.PENANAD1XHehRGjI
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAco3hDZSkkX
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzvsyDnAyKY
but feeling hurt."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAhEW9BcTMcI
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAizq1l9AoX9
"But I wouldn't feel 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA28hCZgRniz
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAncDbtNUGu5
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAd0HpHrgiTN
at Taeyang.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xam1IiNfz
Taeyang gave me that 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyyfaOFH6s7
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXkettZe1tx
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAseOjmYcyMs
while in return, he nodded.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAhwnbWam1FH
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXNURp5WxSV
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEZvTHrzo1L
I didn't say a word as I1077Please respect copyright.PENANADGTYM2NXN8
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3oDNADJVaX
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8jxZmcaCPX
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnPlJhxekuB
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAeIg3yI79FI
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAR3UXBqdWV3
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA484IXv7SDW
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA0WrJihxftC
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANABS1O8yiHhz
If there was ever a way I1077Please respect copyright.PENANANwbK0SQc8r
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5XZkeukrm0
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAvPu1t3jLMq
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAAW5f5Eqk9r
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmBWM629ksZ
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzKCn8PJWRN
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.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAd3Aoh9Xj8k
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA97O9eLIHwx
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqOtt6oTtPo
"Well, I'm just asking,"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAWOmEt0Lgv5
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,1077Please respect copyright.PENANAH2VJ9h8hOy
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAt37aXvbein
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdbW0djnSN5
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAvAcYpEMgag
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAWbAb9h07FV
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAYLCrDDd2Po
I pressed the button 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzf9Qs1HRsq
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUj1FUaxHIn
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAjO7xX8ffA9
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUpLnMn9M5C
We went to the main 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZmcVLdKowK
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGP2DIF2gvO
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUylcYzY2RF
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAjQhM2rHx3y
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.1077Please respect copyright.PENANApFqAjnq4Ci
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAVJKUlfop7L
"To be honest, we just 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAARK6cVClVo
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA4vCrwNYf0a
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9JAr5GeCzd
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoLOB2SKyIB
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.1077Please respect copyright.PENANATNQCa43E2K
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.1077Please respect copyright.PENANADxBC2G404y
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAsf4rESthle
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ2AeyzDBw
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9CJgE2IK1S
"Nah, I don't think so,"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAiE8I77y9b4
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnPLUNp2uch
he would be treating me like that."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAsNWFlzYuAG
"Mmm, I don't think so,"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGHbsA1Iz6m
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAv9TOtk7vUd
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANA7a3ZZwo7y9
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwjIRCkcM8w
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.1077Please respect copyright.PENANANs59PHpPSW
"Then, stop trying to make one."1077Please respect copyright.PENANASKld2Jej2r
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."1077Please respect copyright.PENANATCY10jWaJE
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAi6dYZ8rkEk
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.1077Please respect copyright.PENANATPpCSC7wk9
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAJjxn9QWiOJ
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwGfknP9srS
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAh45HMazVIo
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANArVFCnVYivM
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA19OvvFUpLh
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAe4bY2uL3FS
I didn't even dare try 1077Please respect copyright.PENANADxLZoHT5Qd
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANARV1KyWoIjQ
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqOVMnbMrne
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA4eMKMYkSqx
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAPDdxhr8KU3
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUXutlFszsB
I heard footsteps coming1077Please respect copyright.PENANAsh6YJYcYWx
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 1077Please respect copyright.PENANArI7L0FCrFY
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAgSeRhue1DR
look at me.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9Of95wg3SJ
"Are you okay?" he whispered.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAV3Et6llsSV
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzIMZx3cAqa
I soon felt strong hands1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5BkCP5Eo86
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXdCJVhnL3j
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAAVv1l4hmv4
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXOSo2IvwRG
"I'm a whole lot better,1077Please respect copyright.PENANAYy7nVJTky1
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAP1U5Rj3Ng7
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.1077Please respect copyright.PENANApej2ouq3In
"Glad to hear that."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8au6cznOmx
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.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAvWN3ahqFtS
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAIXgqqGFVJO
I was planning not to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzehgH793zX
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQxEQahfb06
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAFhjWl4LS5L
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to1077Please respect copyright.PENANAWCTH9bGiGE
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqDtMLMz82U
under the bridge.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAizHA6uLn9t
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAd88apY4zF6
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyNiTz44Jnf
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAxj9MnzNmQg
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZEb3bRvfE
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAvQB3wSCLPu
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXqpgyohPuz
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANARBTfLj8gUw
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA50hB5zy9Rk
The waiters soon came 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9hkjFcgmuN
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAa01luQzqOL
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMJeAtvOJ0w
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAJlZFP5Vz3B
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAvv0zD9f6RQ
For a moment, I felt 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAYwfrb9KGTm
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAxDmqiWb32j
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 1077Please respect copyright.PENANATf51DIQ4a7
me to forget that I was ever mad.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAxhdT4fAbSn
"Mmm, this is so 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAYvIk4Zd2C7
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyM3iDuxjKV
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA6Uk1RuTn9n
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3R4pI78vVk
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAivncWIuDjg
"Anything for you, Sam,"1077Please respect copyright.PENANASezMBVUYfs
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAg0IiwAiyay
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAb4KWODGE3A
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAP5YUJqyn5S
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.1077Please respect copyright.PENANADU4OxcD9PO
I had just taken in some1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8S0CvUprOx
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGTITiGjnHL
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly1077Please respect copyright.PENANAPT9yyv8l57
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAszwrZgeT59
just said.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAw8kvWKaBSd
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAj0mYCP8qLi
"Well, ya," Christine 1077Please respect copyright.PENANALwLVAEYc8z
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnmDv1cjA4B
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA7yHxpOr4zB
special lunch to lighten your mood."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAR2aRIBTImW
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA7astM3mhWD
"Thanks for the lunch, 1077Please respect copyright.PENANATk7PIVJZko
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so1077Please respect copyright.PENANAPpx9wFN36i
sweet of you to have come up with this."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlivimTQiUe
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAIz8P9DEkrS
I almost felt like 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAd1KwcwbFPL
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 1077Please respect copyright.PENANASlKHqgpcMs
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare1077Please respect copyright.PENANAtPb6G6PLEZ
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 1077Please respect copyright.PENANADoUsJXTGR2
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAt54e3TFgIG
turning into rage?1077Please respect copyright.PENANAHlxrAMTEmT
Oh, goodness. I needed 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAT0m3gCZlV3
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAiQtqWO36PM
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 1077Please respect copyright.PENANALVzrnxAJ4T
I tried to push aside 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXz2XpCCHE5
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA0UH3FijC2m
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMJYz86TBXr
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQJpoIE7xga
chocolate moussé.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyoJjxsIH5I
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,1077Please respect copyright.PENANAkdwtgmnJcj
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXqf385Vc4F
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzIyX1kIoA7
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqQsqVvazdu
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9ESSMhX5Od
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoeIcLcHXjI
I didn't wait for 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQlXhYZfmpI
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUoBa3juhB1
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoe1azZ9Cy5
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEQBa3CBrq0
heaven.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAnx4mu52Xn0
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAaNODH2XRsc
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAkMSqoSTy1I
"I don't care," I said 1077Please respect copyright.PENANATPato2mIpg
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1k6FMEqVSb
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqgU3IOiq6t
G-Dragon smiled back at 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZSDYAkUYbF
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 1077Please respect copyright.PENANATRGfESXmpF
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA1xt9mU4Vwj
away.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA16Spc0FpK0
After dessert, we all 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAo1y5TaSeim
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXLJVXCxcAr
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAzBZCkf9CQG
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAHN3LSa8vUA
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEiGuXMMCr9
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdCefCGdhze
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAcrF7CThJ3x
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAotar1seWu8
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmBDU0kN4Tm
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z1rEZnE8u
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA0oxmv3K8wV
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAtcZYmY646X
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAvAEgLBg5bo
"What stuff?" TOP asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAw7Osv7MVPe
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANANZr1jC2UtH
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAB91epr2G9z
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAktjoNxpNFM
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA49gFmOMhm4
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.1077Please respect copyright.PENANANhlKzqik2b
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.1077Please respect copyright.PENANApIaXtmwthU
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAcH6WmaNdbq
"Wait, what's going on?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAP3w6fUQxpk
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqzMhQzwxTg
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8pEqWrRpsT
"I thought we should all1077Please respect copyright.PENANANx8kZ0LdfU
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 1077Please respect copyright.PENANANsdLlhgaIX
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAxuEnRCGcEE
"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.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAPHY9X38Z6e
"I don't know, I feel we1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZvt1dCjBlu
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdM7Xuv9Rlt
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwN8buCdXRJ
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXUFE9ufmF1
"I don't get it though,"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwbPkrKyeuc
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3of4ldD9my
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write1077Please respect copyright.PENANAVIUDoRddMl
the lyrics?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAID4mLsC1dB
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAWuI5H7YNKh
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAN47kgf5UmV
This time, I also raised1077Please respect copyright.PENANAh4fGFL3sFx
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA2T2wkwXDoC
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAWKuI9H1Pxw
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAE6dQxL5KQg
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAo2heWi27TF
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqgodappX2B
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUj9tjj9v00
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3u9MGj7EK
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAb9KWxr9gGN
By the way G-Dragon 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZECGGCsne
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwxZPQDFl2l
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqaA2eWuaX8
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGPwoNWdIzK
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEfjmfcDbmh
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ4DGFy4GX
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAeIf8GPWW2r
"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."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA77iLCKUCO7
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3BUrC4cfvw
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAVYqnrPAydz
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAIELnpdREf0
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXzqszwt8Ac
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."1077Please respect copyright.PENANANnS32bFFKJ
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqPWfW0K6bj
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAORS3uvf9b4
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAMhM7nUueai
"What truth?" I asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAuhVg3Hjmvz
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."1077Please respect copyright.PENANA9250s4Yrz5
Taeyang was right. I was1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3JG06F0ibk
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKYOs3xgI8w
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ9dCWkxmD
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAqarXaPsgw0
attention.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmbIpMzTa3z
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAOXZ8ORr5W1
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."1077Please respect copyright.PENANADtLyIOtiRp
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel1077Please respect copyright.PENANAF1WluYod9Q
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAFHxOiSl7dn
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlpLEI6B02r
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.1077Please respect copyright.PENANANrlt40Lw0a
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.1077Please respect copyright.PENANACsWtMsrPLb
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAZrpSv0tVSA
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEN2Iq6d75m
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAd0wLmLKhNW
"But I....." 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAafBAKWt38z
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAD57rSIEreY
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've1077Please respect copyright.PENANAyzq8Duxgjl
talked way too much, don't you think?"1077Please respect copyright.PENANAedlKqQtIVw
That felt like a slap in1077Please respect copyright.PENANADSh6v6pNzs
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUuc819i0pU
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA6i2ztZeg95
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdmdFjnFNf4
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAeLHU0xAijj
about what I thought was best for the whole group?1077Please respect copyright.PENANAwwXjCsbkUj
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAGbdZn5xajy
"That's fine with me," said Mike.1077Please respect copyright.PENANArKFeqSlei8
Everyone else agreed, 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAoFnl8VHS9E
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAQK3Hxq8VjC
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAJktsHkKQ8c
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAg6Zs6ARmHb
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAU0YGW1VHxP
B, just in case.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAXk6FWNmupR
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAUHRLH9hNVW
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.1077Please respect copyright.PENANANlZWbOviBG
"Not now, Sam. We will 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAe168WgoHlO
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAao8a1nfrUo
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAAcK0RbKxMS
gave me goosebumps.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAlXRjeQZwX3
"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."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAjtXlCqNE2W
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA2zZVLM82TM
One by one everyone 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdRXBZI68i5
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA5UqIFMQ39B
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem1077Please respect copyright.PENANArNKVrENax8
appropriate.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAEfsX095mH0
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.1077Please respect copyright.PENANABmDhwJ4rUc
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAcnXEQ18waE
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAeoPX23SiGj
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.1077Please respect copyright.PENANASOyIuM0jXM
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAaehiiNoIbU
"It's not that. I pissed1077Please respect copyright.PENANAPGzvraOBxL
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take1077Please respect copyright.PENANAdisU6nTX5O
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAN5hp84FAti
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAvlrhR9mzZm
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."1077Please respect copyright.PENANAq2y9RrPc6D
Taeyang placed his hand 1077Please respect copyright.PENANANEQJZCCIui
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He1077Please respect copyright.PENANAd12ZOQvwwR
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.1077Please respect copyright.PENANAKyHmkEcZW0
I knew I had to hope for1077Please respect copyright.PENANAmu1kPvDFqO
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut1077Please respect copyright.PENANAv71Imr2JXt
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 1077Please respect copyright.PENANAbwXuzhPn3k
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA3v45KUva5C
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 1077Please respect copyright.PENANA8W5TdAsWKx
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
