The water felt like a 717Please respect copyright.PENANAg1An6V9MBR
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 717Please respect copyright.PENANAeVvaebN9mF
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 717Please respect copyright.PENANA9J8Vn7YqFq
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 717Please respect copyright.PENANAumUS6BjQ6F
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 717Please respect copyright.PENANAjxO5ns87Wr
breathe. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA26Rvm6om12
I pushed myself upwards 717Please respect copyright.PENANAiim20qnUIE
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of717Please respect copyright.PENANAIsjif6dd0C
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 717Please respect copyright.PENANA2nsOhUg3Wo
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 717Please respect copyright.PENANA2xqfxX9bd8
edge.717Please respect copyright.PENANADXV0O6IFJN
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.717Please respect copyright.PENANAU7nJqCDsG0
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.717Please respect copyright.PENANAKuNTqWOlOk
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.717Please respect copyright.PENANANBjpA2JANt
I looked ridiculously 717Please respect copyright.PENANAcGio8JPdy4
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 717Please respect copyright.PENANAoMbTIOUByp
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 717Please respect copyright.PENANAmi5HeEmwg7
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 717Please respect copyright.PENANANFYIIx1Jqg
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 717Please respect copyright.PENANA0ma7atkr8K
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.717Please respect copyright.PENANAAoM0wY961Q
I looked around me and 717Please respect copyright.PENANArF5mjqjrp5
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 717Please respect copyright.PENANA80RDtb4adI
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 717Please respect copyright.PENANAXM9SaIKzJR
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 717Please respect copyright.PENANAtKlNH74bvh
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.717Please respect copyright.PENANAy0vCbkw2QR
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."717Please respect copyright.PENANAnoJ4KeGGt5
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."717Please respect copyright.PENANAdVnm41uVvf
I heard Zoey and the 717Please respect copyright.PENANABzYnMjRENS
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on717Please respect copyright.PENANA2dId2I0SPo
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.717Please respect copyright.PENANAdQjefhTcci
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA99Kz37nAra
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's717Please respect copyright.PENANAogARpwS3BL
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 717Please respect copyright.PENANA8mc22g8EUo
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."717Please respect copyright.PENANAPoMLhwSOoI
"I already told you, I'm717Please respect copyright.PENANATg8DRfVAIJ
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I717Please respect copyright.PENANAQGE5NqMAan
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 717Please respect copyright.PENANAWAPSEjfej5
from anyone.717Please respect copyright.PENANAyLHUFc4d6b
I made my way towards GD717Please respect copyright.PENANATiezm1hkcP
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what717Please respect copyright.PENANAoDq9xxS0J6
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 717Please respect copyright.PENANAVsmH8dEiC4
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.717Please respect copyright.PENANAZbInO0NERR
"Oh, man, Sam," said 717Please respect copyright.PENANA0RjY2GTUGI
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 717Please respect copyright.PENANAe79Pdn2lIe
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 717Please respect copyright.PENANAhvXfA5EeLj
game. Hope you didn't mind."717Please respect copyright.PENANAbuGEC5evJD
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."717Please respect copyright.PENANARGQfzULjsz
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."717Please respect copyright.PENANALUlCt1AiTR
"I told you, our 717Please respect copyright.PENANA9AfMkiFtrZ
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 717Please respect copyright.PENANA6kzRGTHAoN
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 717Please respect copyright.PENANAIi73qDlrxZ
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 717Please respect copyright.PENANAgoxi9YO0gt
Daesung.717Please respect copyright.PENANAMLgwvwvFWI
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.717Please respect copyright.PENANAliHQ2KWgMC
I dialled Lee's number 717Please respect copyright.PENANA2pOLHQ3Bhl
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 717Please respect copyright.PENANAFGArIHdhsQ
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA0EfrFiXtml
They would know soon enough.717Please respect copyright.PENANAYH911rwWX3
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.717Please respect copyright.PENANAYcJR4mVu52
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.717Please respect copyright.PENANA81yIoxnnfS
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAXNhErQD5gx
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"717Please respect copyright.PENANANIzabWfQE9
"No, not yet. But you 717Please respect copyright.PENANA0fVJvOxCHb
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And717Please respect copyright.PENANAjEtqHO3sud
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."717Please respect copyright.PENANAZZFiobJu6X
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."717Please respect copyright.PENANACxvcIKRIrW
"Okay, I'll be waiting."717Please respect copyright.PENANA0Dt7ZRtOSk
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.717Please respect copyright.PENANA4FSzg3Zu3n
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAKnUVB2wvZu
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."717Please respect copyright.PENANAxBrfbGDdOq
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAYlzS0Wb7VX
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."717Please respect copyright.PENANA44pzJIXa6Q
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.717Please respect copyright.PENANAJaQoFLbdpk
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."717Please respect copyright.PENANAewKbOTbo8i
I shook my head. I was 717Please respect copyright.PENANAibspw7mc1z
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 717Please respect copyright.PENANAxJskgQBApm
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 717Please respect copyright.PENANA4hnPud53Bv
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.717Please respect copyright.PENANAn7w1PGwbzj
After walking a few feet717Please respect copyright.PENANAPSgg9rrpiE
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 717Please respect copyright.PENANAa5e41wo1Zj
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was717Please respect copyright.PENANAATAK5UPbDn
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 717Please respect copyright.PENANAuns12HrWrH
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.717Please respect copyright.PENANAWrHgFk1Mqp
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAS1ag4ykLsi
None of them answered as717Please respect copyright.PENANAGdj21lFbmQ
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 717Please respect copyright.PENANA3PgjUGB0rp
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 717Please respect copyright.PENANAu3fVXkDEK8
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.717Please respect copyright.PENANAfpeI5wJNir
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.717Please respect copyright.PENANAoaZaOXyEnS
"I wasn't going to say 717Please respect copyright.PENANAUWWamLIcP5
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing717Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z1Nl66MPu
you would want to hear from me is advice."717Please respect copyright.PENANAsZckvrgpoi
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAkeDwojUucZ
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.717Please respect copyright.PENANA9n4WrZwAqe
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."717Please respect copyright.PENANA03UPZKcIuC
"I'm still upset, though."717Please respect copyright.PENANAWhbN4OiNK2
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."717Please respect copyright.PENANA7WUZX9wrAS
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."717Please respect copyright.PENANAVsz6dsTDJA
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."717Please respect copyright.PENANAfXhSq9GsqS
I gave TOP an assuring 717Please respect copyright.PENANAHvgNLAOH3i
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way717Please respect copyright.PENANA3fcuXErKQJ
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 717Please respect copyright.PENANAgjJ2Eeo0Nz
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I717Please respect copyright.PENANAg5M44uQAXG
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't717Please respect copyright.PENANAW2wbjluXOF
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 717Please respect copyright.PENANAxsdORcaMTU
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.717Please respect copyright.PENANAoO0H7X8l6S
We all found ourselves 717Please respect copyright.PENANA91eDjX3rkA
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins717Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2NFCla1Sm
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 717Please respect copyright.PENANAZvdryKaCfo
were waiting for me. 717Please respect copyright.PENANALJlhG4Z5zK
"Hey, Sam, you don't 717Please respect copyright.PENANAYyxyK8UqDt
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 717Please respect copyright.PENANAuFHEIE3pS9
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.717Please respect copyright.PENANAh3P7p8sVqM
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."717Please respect copyright.PENANAR0ZZJmr0sE
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 717Please respect copyright.PENANAg7gZIIgsYE
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 717Please respect copyright.PENANAWsB9UeGTjL
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch717Please respect copyright.PENANAfCXoQJ1iVz
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 717Please respect copyright.PENANAa5pt3arqAi
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.717Please respect copyright.PENANA4T2KaQggdQ
I had my eyes closed 717Please respect copyright.PENANAvwwDhtdbmM
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found717Please respect copyright.PENANAp0DbDpaetT
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.717Please respect copyright.PENANA073Wom25Uv
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."717Please respect copyright.PENANARQw7PJXVZY
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.717Please respect copyright.PENANAZguCVum5Cb
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."717Please respect copyright.PENANAmpwblubTxJ
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."717Please respect copyright.PENANAuihrJwFpoq
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."717Please respect copyright.PENANA4gfaQqRa18
Taeyang led me to his 717Please respect copyright.PENANA0ST7QfXXDE
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 717Please respect copyright.PENANAY2eq2HtElF
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 717Please respect copyright.PENANAiIzCgY4EOE
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.717Please respect copyright.PENANAr7Upljxk5I
In about thirty minutes,717Please respect copyright.PENANAnD2ltLaUv6
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 717Please respect copyright.PENANAMIdjyXLmYR
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 717Please respect copyright.PENANA25AnVE5mbA
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 717Please respect copyright.PENANAHWrfc8XY6w
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 717Please respect copyright.PENANAhG8En0wjdQ
appeared out of the elevator.717Please respect copyright.PENANAjuPz5VfEZg
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAVONzBrFm6c
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.717Please respect copyright.PENANAbT83A1ScyL
Lee who stood behind 717Please respect copyright.PENANAB68tQvUJFk
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 717Please respect copyright.PENANATQPLJJ0l9V
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 717Please respect copyright.PENANA1yW4IUzWhg
other things in mind.717Please respect copyright.PENANAVXOv0U9iQf
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAzY0XE98Ml0
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 717Please respect copyright.PENANAe6uT1VOsu1
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 717Please respect copyright.PENANAUfCEjqcajL
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.717Please respect copyright.PENANAtmAdyGLxRe
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANALSuSNXP1tS
"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."717Please respect copyright.PENANAMufm4rtB1x
There was an awkward 717Please respect copyright.PENANAio2wp7wHbU
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,717Please respect copyright.PENANAPJdoUtQTU3
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.717Please respect copyright.PENANAagW3PgJGot
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAzDIgETdGzt
"Well, I hear the press 717Please respect copyright.PENANAVDoaK7DtZC
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon717Please respect copyright.PENANAZHGwHileAA
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."717Please respect copyright.PENANAerRTLsxSri
"That won't be 717Please respect copyright.PENANA1sBOHPXTa6
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 717Please respect copyright.PENANAdKXhkL7pAI
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to717Please respect copyright.PENANA294rKFQlCh
go to the press looking all wet."717Please respect copyright.PENANAb7Y7trSdaG
I breathed out a sigh of717Please respect copyright.PENANACwvn7UByt9
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 717Please respect copyright.PENANACtzNFRDYnr
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.717Please respect copyright.PENANACJ8CSq6ekk
"In the meantime, you go717Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ8axmWRzy
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 717Please respect copyright.PENANAQzekpxcgHs
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."717Please respect copyright.PENANAeDkONHNBx3
I nodded my head in 717Please respect copyright.PENANArSe04zy6UX
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 717Please respect copyright.PENANABosUOa4Pw0
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.717Please respect copyright.PENANAFuG1e985uo
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.717Please respect copyright.PENANAadfLqomB3Z
"Alright," I said 717Please respect copyright.PENANAmyJDfrrYdl
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 717Please respect copyright.PENANA0LZTx9HJJN
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like717Please respect copyright.PENANAenSRNtLhPy
I was only making things worse.717Please respect copyright.PENANAF79x82kmWf
Before I turned to leave717Please respect copyright.PENANA6h24iy6oRn
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 717Please respect copyright.PENANAaNYsNbeLVN
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 717Please respect copyright.PENANArjKLdlkjcD
one.717Please respect copyright.PENANAx4e8cqgyUi
***717Please respect copyright.PENANATDXsSEapak
I sat on the couch all 717Please respect copyright.PENANAd6FHrGZreM
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued717Please respect copyright.PENANAHBhO48K08X
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"717Please respect copyright.PENANAfBZMiDKAKz
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAxjlEPz6ofW
I had a box of paper 717Please respect copyright.PENANAvK8qgxNjZb
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my717Please respect copyright.PENANA1venmZ7LgQ
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 717Please respect copyright.PENANAXUy00dzKsI
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.717Please respect copyright.PENANAQlxQfmYwxO
I continued watching the717Please respect copyright.PENANAV6F0owLQKI
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 717Please respect copyright.PENANAw5faZP5epE
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.717Please respect copyright.PENANAA0DIjKnzSk
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.717Please respect copyright.PENANAYmVESBIeeJ
"Never better," I said, 717Please respect copyright.PENANAFfYyF49Dqi
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 717Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kv94S1xjj
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."717Please respect copyright.PENANAXXtQP50Kq6
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.717Please respect copyright.PENANAKW2CKqgbF1
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.717Please respect copyright.PENANAp80yuusOTQ
"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.717Please respect copyright.PENANAAJQSTBepO9
"And the others?" 717Please respect copyright.PENANA1xiipTOAYn
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.717Please respect copyright.PENANA7YTSGlauGo
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.717Please respect copyright.PENANAxWhBMRReJ1
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAadx7tBzBOQ
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.717Please respect copyright.PENANA1GbHehCU8o
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.717Please respect copyright.PENANAG2RaThYtnN
"You don't know or you are?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAPWSuI2Ym74
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.717Please respect copyright.PENANARAeR78AjLH
"I don't know, Tae," I 717Please respect copyright.PENANAUbjhgrD4K5
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 717Please respect copyright.PENANAJUMosjkakd
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 717Please respect copyright.PENANAvxKePsEaSy
forget all that happened yesterday."717Please respect copyright.PENANAJG4MUqrwuz
"Ya, I understand. They 717Please respect copyright.PENANASbZY0ZchBx
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 717Please respect copyright.PENANAiJSEVZEJxO
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were717Please respect copyright.PENANAMql4cCjJyp
going to get."717Please respect copyright.PENANA7UwaDt6upt
I looked on at Taeyang 717Please respect copyright.PENANArm2EIH3JWd
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 717Please respect copyright.PENANAfANr8mGGTh
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 717Please respect copyright.PENANABIKvFHXTg1
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 717Please respect copyright.PENANAV6XSi4uH1P
who was as tough as nails.717Please respect copyright.PENANAjOpsx0nnNJ
Last night, I took the 717Please respect copyright.PENANAyRv7fFx08a
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 717Please respect copyright.PENANAhrPOfc0bDa
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 717Please respect copyright.PENANAzIhzMkzduu
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 717Please respect copyright.PENANAgJatrSmIvh
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAOEI4imRqDD
Apparently, the managers717Please respect copyright.PENANASfYJtPm0Iu
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 717Please respect copyright.PENANA812tU46feE
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought717Please respect copyright.PENANAk4shy1lXD3
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 717Please respect copyright.PENANAg0aFmZJ7dv
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 717Please respect copyright.PENANAOM9i8d2VKc
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 717Please respect copyright.PENANAdWPOT5TnBO
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 717Please respect copyright.PENANAGxIOtcrjRb
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 717Please respect copyright.PENANAjJF5JPTZJF
and the reporters.717Please respect copyright.PENANASU2n7eD1XN
After my confrontation 717Please respect copyright.PENANAoQjNJ0nXrC
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I717Please respect copyright.PENANAy6XwqapWim
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,717Please respect copyright.PENANAzP1n23djOG
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.717Please respect copyright.PENANAAouDrn7R6N
"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."717Please respect copyright.PENANAgfKVHzGBlT
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.717Please respect copyright.PENANAhSnEQiXACd
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."717Please respect copyright.PENANAc5abcJkNZJ
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."717Please respect copyright.PENANAqiszO1jybO
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."717Please respect copyright.PENANANoTvDmDCTb
"Have you tried talking to GD?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAgYYfN4rsb6
"To be honest, I haven't717Please respect copyright.PENANAwC99ffw1HV
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 717Please respect copyright.PENANAMYseVlxD2E
slap him in the face if I see him."717Please respect copyright.PENANAb97iQOAe8k
"I don't doubt that."717Please respect copyright.PENANAT0FO1200xW
"And thank goodness my 717Please respect copyright.PENANAnC4gBBRStR
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 717Please respect copyright.PENANAUgbnpnJSsT
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I717Please respect copyright.PENANAJaAYG4le6p
want to do is watch some TV."717Please respect copyright.PENANA6fOjr7JjFx
I quickly drank my 717Please respect copyright.PENANArkrSzEIvjm
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 717Please respect copyright.PENANADVS7AHgJmx
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 717Please respect copyright.PENANAYllzVpniTM
to.717Please respect copyright.PENANAaw6BgUhOU5
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.717Please respect copyright.PENANAAnQ6klX3vy
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.717Please respect copyright.PENANAFRrDuIFTHn
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7umKYRNoK
"Nope."717Please respect copyright.PENANAMyJAbqUa5q
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.717Please respect copyright.PENANAoAeVOc3ZQZ
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANARRAvOHDqjc
Taeyang didn't say 717Please respect copyright.PENANALCU5A4IXes
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened717Please respect copyright.PENANA6doxpvPjXd
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."717Please respect copyright.PENANA8tgqyzB1FJ
"I know you fought or 717Please respect copyright.PENANASuI631Wb2d
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAnHAMWH3MzV
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."717Please respect copyright.PENANAthxqAVL7Lw
I noticed Taeyang smile 717Please respect copyright.PENANAZFUKTftaZR
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 717Please respect copyright.PENANAfr3yNmcKlr
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 717Please respect copyright.PENANAxcKnjSnvc1
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.717Please respect copyright.PENANAfxnbwGDxGI
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.717Please respect copyright.PENANAS6R2BxMwe7
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."717Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ2aONLNeX
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?717Please respect copyright.PENANAUgC6WQf9iI
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.717Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hs9ydUEWL
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."717Please respect copyright.PENANAarJa69JpF9
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."717Please respect copyright.PENANAfww1N95TkD
Before I could finish my717Please respect copyright.PENANAxLYmRH3nM3
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 717Please respect copyright.PENANAIkl9tHnLBs
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.717Please respect copyright.PENANARf7pAcWbaI
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.717Please respect copyright.PENANAwdL8LoAtgE
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.717Please respect copyright.PENANAUiwlb4b3Of
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."717Please respect copyright.PENANAwfTfrU3Y38
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."717Please respect copyright.PENANA1q3MK7yneu
"Yep, cheers to that." 717Please respect copyright.PENANAuQllO8R1WE
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANA2tLlxYDnn3
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.717Please respect copyright.PENANAumUcaqK4x2
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAkszw1lFf2Z
"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."717Please respect copyright.PENANAXSKvkNYAlL
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."717Please respect copyright.PENANAK8K9QRtlEo
"Wow, that sounds personal."717Please respect copyright.PENANAbphfPG2EbU
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."717Please respect copyright.PENANA4FQKtI8o0c
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAmyNSq8cpgP
"I think I've a better 717Please respect copyright.PENANABN5dQ1qFIA
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 717Please respect copyright.PENANA4u8fyspqU1
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 717Please respect copyright.PENANAxAzFfi0BCe
lyrics. It's better that way."717Please respect copyright.PENANAJl5yNkLvme
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"717Please respect copyright.PENANADOCyzpds7u
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."717Please respect copyright.PENANAw8k7EWq7yO
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."717Please respect copyright.PENANAYRjk9iG8wt
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."717Please respect copyright.PENANA0reFGNrgCw
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."717Please respect copyright.PENANANMFMC3C4jc
"Haha, good point."717Please respect copyright.PENANAF23jrRFB0E
Taeyang and I continued 717Please respect copyright.PENANAceiCXmgGub
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 717Please respect copyright.PENANAQKJvY2yhYg
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 717Please respect copyright.PENANAnLCFMhAXqo
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we717Please respect copyright.PENANAYMO6weoDSB
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 717Please respect copyright.PENANAi5YPyfMZye
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 717Please respect copyright.PENANAbaVnD4BlD4
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 717Please respect copyright.PENANAsREIYErzDP
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 717Please respect copyright.PENANAxLhAKZnka4
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.717Please respect copyright.PENANAvDIjvb8bi7
While the two of us were717Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ6iWZcn0s
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,717Please respect copyright.PENANAMM7OotJgx5
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA9MpPcD7Pc7
I quickly went over to 717Please respect copyright.PENANAqsAVv7bY2i
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was717Please respect copyright.PENANAldjZ1w27Ep
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung717Please respect copyright.PENANA16JsYJgJxM
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could717Please respect copyright.PENANAZRPHXd6UDG
come up and I put the receiver down.717Please respect copyright.PENANAZTCwyDTMWu
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."717Please respect copyright.PENANAmr8DNr4LS0
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."717Please respect copyright.PENANAl28EjvzzXo
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."717Please respect copyright.PENANA0WYuZqLerx
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.717Please respect copyright.PENANAwqOckuSam2
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.717Please respect copyright.PENANAaiLIE1tNj8
"Eww, that pillow 717Please respect copyright.PENANAS43EOKSpfg
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 717Please respect copyright.PENANAek6NAfEFI4
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.717Please respect copyright.PENANAwmTvY036Y1
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.717Please respect copyright.PENANAE0dQVwyQN8
A few seconds later, we 717Please respect copyright.PENANAB74CwbHgPk
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 717Please respect copyright.PENANAWFZ6w2gRtW
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 717Please respect copyright.PENANAoZH0WWR6C4
holding a box of chocolates.717Please respect copyright.PENANARUeHQzw8yh
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.717Please respect copyright.PENANA201clu0lHG
"Ah, no, the panda is a 717Please respect copyright.PENANALAxJCgqfUI
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 717Please respect copyright.PENANAsnPq3pnGHb
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 717Please respect copyright.PENANAtqxU0yl2Qy
same time.717Please respect copyright.PENANAbs1u67dTv1
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."717Please respect copyright.PENANA10dFmocsRh
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.717Please respect copyright.PENANAHIiqHRMaU1
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"717Please respect copyright.PENANA7TcMMxZOjj
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."717Please respect copyright.PENANAVlKvf8xBbG
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.717Please respect copyright.PENANAjbyO3bdEsn
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.717Please respect copyright.PENANAEc1JCtLPk5
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."717Please respect copyright.PENANAAzjn11OpLo
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.717Please respect copyright.PENANAGp56gsdNsY
"For goodness sake, I 717Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z5iVTLJET
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 717Please respect copyright.PENANAYk9rIYOWBo
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 717Please respect copyright.PENANAEWLmsEV8J2
scared with me."717Please respect copyright.PENANAUrZg8fv8SP
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.717Please respect copyright.PENANAlYak8WkZVd
I took the panda in my 717Please respect copyright.PENANAC45HHBCnoz
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 717Please respect copyright.PENANAO8Pn3FBazA
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 717Please respect copyright.PENANAKcrh6YBSJE
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 717Please respect copyright.PENANAsG0Qbv1RR2
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.717Please respect copyright.PENANAREh1Tl9YZV
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."717Please respect copyright.PENANA1RyBZ3elOp
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."717Please respect copyright.PENANAZKYt07jYEc
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAbG1VN5GYdu
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.717Please respect copyright.PENANAibPwPbExoj
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."717Please respect copyright.PENANACh4Vyvvfei
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I717Please respect copyright.PENANAA7qI9XcQy0
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 717Please respect copyright.PENANAbMhtOEQ7L5
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 717Please respect copyright.PENANAhy23SObM3P
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."717Please respect copyright.PENANACO0YA3PPVD
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."717Please respect copyright.PENANAawWfYe5xLY
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."717Please respect copyright.PENANAA9QnvGxmBT
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.717Please respect copyright.PENANAoWdravvbPM
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."717Please respect copyright.PENANA2lOLw31OKC
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.717Please respect copyright.PENANA4YZ1ZIH5Mq
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."717Please respect copyright.PENANAj6g5A1sjp6
"Ya, I do."717Please respect copyright.PENANApx3s5vz9Bt
While the four of us 717Please respect copyright.PENANAhbcK45NSrx
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 717Please respect copyright.PENANAB0hBuOi8RG
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 717Please respect copyright.PENANAmhUI1vETuD
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 717Please respect copyright.PENANAIaU1PSNXZO
said:717Please respect copyright.PENANAfbBdivGLxq
"Hey, Zoey." 717Please respect copyright.PENANA15FzDqSzE6
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAy25hGjG6se
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."717Please respect copyright.PENANAv97wCpc12X
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.717Please respect copyright.PENANA4jfonJ6am0
"It's good you came to 717Please respect copyright.PENANAzIh4FVnuEv
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 717Please respect copyright.PENANAMvUYFE99os
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 717Please respect copyright.PENANAxFUuHHzd0j
couch.717Please respect copyright.PENANAqZoAJU6U4j
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"717Please respect copyright.PENANABYY835AxnM
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"717Please respect copyright.PENANAKgKyNgfnmP
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANA02aeIN5vbo
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAlBy2rtvcY8
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.717Please respect copyright.PENANAaK9vBAvQv9
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.717Please respect copyright.PENANAqgVYyMkvWO
I tugged at my panda's 717Please respect copyright.PENANAOpHcByTgWp
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it717Please respect copyright.PENANASkBFsHUZlz
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking717Please respect copyright.PENANAOCFqREYxYK
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.717Please respect copyright.PENANAH9XRyYTeUO
The Toxins came back to 717Please respect copyright.PENANAuRrcMBCAl7
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held717Please respect copyright.PENANAVrUn6Vvb8j
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine717Please respect copyright.PENANANkgxfJH2bv
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.717Please respect copyright.PENANAZLRueuFn9a
For a moment, no one 717Please respect copyright.PENANAk7pOTbyU9t
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 717Please respect copyright.PENANAc8dW8D5JH6
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.717Please respect copyright.PENANA1FFCvMfxGS
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.717Please respect copyright.PENANAEV6X7eWtK5
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAKdhQJLqpdR
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.717Please respect copyright.PENANAPNOaRKyaDS
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."717Please respect copyright.PENANANCMT2BVd8W
I stared up at the 717Please respect copyright.PENANAn2OFWqjID9
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 717Please respect copyright.PENANAvIsePpd5jt
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.717Please respect copyright.PENANA4TxrFpeZ50
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."717Please respect copyright.PENANAJvvZi3RxvA
When Zoey tried to reach717Please respect copyright.PENANAY3RT7pNVxF
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 717Please respect copyright.PENANAfIBIKJtHbZ
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.717Please respect copyright.PENANAe2683bnsD9
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.717Please respect copyright.PENANAsS8HU7rh7L
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.717Please respect copyright.PENANAHdExn2YHpI
Zoey looked hurt with 717Please respect copyright.PENANAUrRP5Bp46p
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 717Please respect copyright.PENANAnWFElkHA2A
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.717Please respect copyright.PENANAmMfZDHGjsD
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANA5Lkjv3CvhT
I didn't answer as I put717Please respect copyright.PENANAw7Rp2ItXCy
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I717Please respect copyright.PENANAFHU9eIS5Cd
was still mad, especially at Zoey.717Please respect copyright.PENANASLSMHqRhwM
"I know it's a little 717Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jq17Q9LI9
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 717Please respect copyright.PENANAVYh6JZRvuQ
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 717Please respect copyright.PENANAp8a8Ra7tAC
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 717Please respect copyright.PENANA7IAGBZd3Fh
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA5njNApxLs9
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 717Please respect copyright.PENANATNPkGxYs1W
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."717Please respect copyright.PENANAqQV2gF86PP
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.717Please respect copyright.PENANAbVOeLKo7TT
"I don't like it when 717Please respect copyright.PENANA9V5tErH7JJ
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 717Please respect copyright.PENANApSNkJ9vnDX
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 717Please respect copyright.PENANAB1oCNfiSMG
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 717Please respect copyright.PENANApuobNk88gf
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 717Please respect copyright.PENANACXU0qVt6cw
sorry, Sam."717Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ01VknQcs
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."717Please respect copyright.PENANA8JIbClvPpe
"I'm sorry too," said 717Please respect copyright.PENANAU3N5IbOIJJ
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 717Please respect copyright.PENANAoyMUgvNsmq
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 717Please respect copyright.PENANAjBnS3treLY
for you to talk to us again."717Please respect copyright.PENANAr8KPcacWAY
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 717Please respect copyright.PENANA4N6nMnoVjC
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 717Please respect copyright.PENANAsFNXRow57U
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 717Please respect copyright.PENANAYySEa0mIqj
leader."717Please respect copyright.PENANA8AFU6ncDRG
I still didn't say a 717Please respect copyright.PENANA4yJV4IKuAN
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 717Please respect copyright.PENANAQpVNjqoPjo
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 717Please respect copyright.PENANAIdvFmlUm2P
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 717Please respect copyright.PENANAaUxVU9oh7q
them despite the awful things they put me through.717Please respect copyright.PENANAE40YiKT8Zw
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 717Please respect copyright.PENANARtC7NlssPf
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."717Please respect copyright.PENANANg34JqJNgD
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.717Please respect copyright.PENANAOFCL7p6E8U
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.717Please respect copyright.PENANAYP8vC95kZX
"I'm mad and pretty much717Please respect copyright.PENANAxRI5qBLz0w
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 717Please respect copyright.PENANAPlTLMVAJTQ
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."717Please respect copyright.PENANA1eiE1g8M1T
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAX7p64CXjy8
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."717Please respect copyright.PENANA8ky1XFwtjs
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.717Please respect copyright.PENANAWcjIfJRfh7
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 717Please respect copyright.PENANAe9UrEFq05t
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 717Please respect copyright.PENANAw8paq5dKi1
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."717Please respect copyright.PENANAK0fqJuR9n4
"Ah, you! Always acting 717Please respect copyright.PENANAwYBszo85lT
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 717Please respect copyright.PENANAxiMM63Nm4S
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 717Please respect copyright.PENANAflNt7WT38e
catch it anyway."717Please respect copyright.PENANAe68qwDAwyN
Christine, Daniel and 717Please respect copyright.PENANAVwctV4ct4F
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAu3ADSTGCcu
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 717Please respect copyright.PENANAx0i1K9oarI
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.717Please respect copyright.PENANAIDgsh2RaJw
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.717Please respect copyright.PENANAoBtXFN6UYN
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.717Please respect copyright.PENANAoRNniys08G
"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...."717Please respect copyright.PENANAbdTVSDxVaF
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.717Please respect copyright.PENANAWsMdQeQ2zt
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."717Please respect copyright.PENANAleebQrcTF8
"Don't worry, you won't 717Please respect copyright.PENANATwOlPp9m6C
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 717Please respect copyright.PENANAg9O6clZSWD
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.717Please respect copyright.PENANA641BSlmiaG
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.717Please respect copyright.PENANA0lWxvp4x8u
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.717Please respect copyright.PENANA2cZXzJcS6F
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"717Please respect copyright.PENANA18Gl1QohxY
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."717Please respect copyright.PENANASm0fIFfXGn
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.717Please respect copyright.PENANAtbWvwugtZQ
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAr1z0pKDnB7
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAGeaHWGvUGc
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."717Please respect copyright.PENANANuOentPyj4
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.717Please respect copyright.PENANAeawFx1JvyV
At that moment, I had 717Please respect copyright.PENANAIviJARIxnq
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.717Please respect copyright.PENANAPMWRpCiIDV
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.717Please respect copyright.PENANAjrNQFnTnXH
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANA0FJzu1X97G
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.717Please respect copyright.PENANAoVUIBsl8s3
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."717Please respect copyright.PENANA1A2kp0aHM6
Zoey got the box of 717Please respect copyright.PENANA8DYmOaengg
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 717Please respect copyright.PENANAAE8NDTGTAH
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.717Please respect copyright.PENANAdpP5QZlvIw
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.717Please respect copyright.PENANAGooKYynXxH
I was in the passage as I717Please respect copyright.PENANACXOUOTHtOf
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 717Please respect copyright.PENANAj2m5fiPCRj
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed717Please respect copyright.PENANAo1k2Xf6Mx1
in what felt like sadness.717Please respect copyright.PENANAW1JbF35V8O
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.717Please respect copyright.PENANA0PGtl84pud
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."717Please respect copyright.PENANAZBRDzw6XkQ
I heard his footsteps 717Please respect copyright.PENANAFs3wenAyR2
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 717Please respect copyright.PENANAFgs1QYYPQE
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.717Please respect copyright.PENANAyCCMdVpNDP
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANASkpmPyk7Ka
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANA69wBYVcu1s
"Are we really do this right now?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAog02rifJPW
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 717Please respect copyright.PENANACn6OOm1W76
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.717Please respect copyright.PENANAHMcmpebgRR
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAc73NFTvd1g
"Nope." 717Please respect copyright.PENANAFX21xSfefj
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."717Please respect copyright.PENANA7GH4HYkPb5
My eyes almost felt like717Please respect copyright.PENANABJAcM99O2L
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 717Please respect copyright.PENANA36OvIdwrzn
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.717Please respect copyright.PENANAzyca72Jh4y
I turned to look at him 717Please respect copyright.PENANAZvd40l6H2m
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 717Please respect copyright.PENANAIWD8irqm4e
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.717Please respect copyright.PENANA0j4HtQNYIS
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.717Please respect copyright.PENANAfo3aad8MMs
"That you're surrounded 717Please respect copyright.PENANA689GyMCxWb
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 717Please respect copyright.PENANAauLd8INTwl
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 717Please respect copyright.PENANAgPBnDERQwL
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."717Please respect copyright.PENANA4nU7ff1HWn
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 717Please respect copyright.PENANAOVK7Jij607
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."717Please respect copyright.PENANAuci6qKqxYd
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAE0EhIDdlMI
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."717Please respect copyright.PENANAYOogtUvtSB
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."717Please respect copyright.PENANAFYmOE6BpKN
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAUmMn79JGpo
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."717Please respect copyright.PENANAAy8J2p9jwW
Apparently, I couldn't 717Please respect copyright.PENANAoVZt6XpYqG
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 717Please respect copyright.PENANAZlHp4c0QDm
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 717Please respect copyright.PENANA4Wk2z3DcBx
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 717Please respect copyright.PENANA8YRCAzIcR1
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 717Please respect copyright.PENANAKJH1CjAkZl
death.717Please respect copyright.PENANAGdjCgeGkcb
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.717Please respect copyright.PENANALILMJfdoSN
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."717Please respect copyright.PENANAcfdl5A6NwA
Taeyang folded his arms 717Please respect copyright.PENANAPWAvWytfwe
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think717Please respect copyright.PENANARSt4FESOBe
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."717Please respect copyright.PENANAUWIhP7u9xV
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.717Please respect copyright.PENANA2W1x0pEE7c
"You're may think you're717Please respect copyright.PENANAolMfIlHPQK
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 717Please respect copyright.PENANA27wXMjtBeN
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 717Please respect copyright.PENANAn1VCuOpq3f
but feeling hurt."717Please respect copyright.PENANAuDjra9sBFs
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.717Please respect copyright.PENANAqOeXXsWLKT
"But I wouldn't feel 717Please respect copyright.PENANApElI88olEe
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 717Please respect copyright.PENANAnB6LeIBHJu
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 717Please respect copyright.PENANAk8dAxWNhLG
at Taeyang.717Please respect copyright.PENANAAzdAREMApx
Taeyang gave me that 717Please respect copyright.PENANAPrgOuJQT0y
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 717Please respect copyright.PENANAXw3cjoqcvJ
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 717Please respect copyright.PENANAs6iwuxraRw
while in return, he nodded.717Please respect copyright.PENANAyBJ518ZtP6
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAMdjAaM9DNL
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."717Please respect copyright.PENANAUlszaQMgq5
I didn't say a word as I717Please respect copyright.PENANAX25HChAP6W
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my717Please respect copyright.PENANAsKxARFUt6o
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 717Please respect copyright.PENANAoUnYwgx2EP
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 717Please respect copyright.PENANA2BquMcCVPV
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.717Please respect copyright.PENANA7H2h5Y2qeb
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."717Please respect copyright.PENANAfWHtSh3FIV
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."717Please respect copyright.PENANAbb5jSMwj5k
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."717Please respect copyright.PENANA2PmZes0xjA
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAqIlRavAdPi
If there was ever a way I717Please respect copyright.PENANAxoJJgmtKZI
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 717Please respect copyright.PENANAc9dEdAR1Ra
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 717Please respect copyright.PENANAoTHNF3v7QB
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.717Please respect copyright.PENANAen7NE9k5J0
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZUZZWABmJ
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA3m0BoZjEaT
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.717Please respect copyright.PENANAD2qJjvd3IG
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.717Please respect copyright.PENANA1pau8RgMFZ
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAevpWLJCDP3
"Well, I'm just asking,"717Please respect copyright.PENANAPeQBZUv5zZ
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,717Please respect copyright.PENANACmH2lR3trn
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."717Please respect copyright.PENANA1aMeY7PKEH
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.717Please respect copyright.PENANAMnZSfLoBqK
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.717Please respect copyright.PENANA0QV506er00
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.717Please respect copyright.PENANAkaqGGrWJtM
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.717Please respect copyright.PENANAfyCnkGeT1A
I pressed the button 717Please respect copyright.PENANAudQAddP2rm
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 717Please respect copyright.PENANA5sml6nAwV3
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 717Please respect copyright.PENANAaynFbEln7X
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.717Please respect copyright.PENANADH4sgrbbMf
We went to the main 717Please respect copyright.PENANAuDp6QRi8Nm
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for717Please respect copyright.PENANAS97N3nq12T
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 717Please respect copyright.PENANA1EdvTpSiOz
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.717Please respect copyright.PENANABKfVtxzlCS
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.717Please respect copyright.PENANAaNKPNQmvKJ
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAwxnbIO8HYF
"To be honest, we just 717Please respect copyright.PENANAShejCC7G1N
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAjOJkbHTbCU
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."717Please respect copyright.PENANAuxSGThSEfp
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.717Please respect copyright.PENANA5068PVsegd
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.717Please respect copyright.PENANAGdmDcUpm1H
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.717Please respect copyright.PENANAVNS8vWKrBx
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.717Please respect copyright.PENANAoRi7ygCW3P
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.717Please respect copyright.PENANA0tjli2a0DR
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.717Please respect copyright.PENANAjkftjXsQ2M
"Nah, I don't think so,"717Please respect copyright.PENANAkAEMghVF33
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so717Please respect copyright.PENANAG9weqZ0cZQ
he would be treating me like that."717Please respect copyright.PENANAifEuPmygnU
"Mmm, I don't think so,"717Please respect copyright.PENANADGB1s4ORQc
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 717Please respect copyright.PENANA8iH15uILPW
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"717Please respect copyright.PENANATjXIF4bTGk
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."717Please respect copyright.PENANA9SIuWDbjl5
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.717Please respect copyright.PENANA5yEM9VXJ6P
"Then, stop trying to make one."717Please respect copyright.PENANAkQPmAZEaGL
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."717Please respect copyright.PENANAPxpnwHN8jE
"Ya, me too," said Mike.717Please respect copyright.PENANARnJPMMJr7a
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.717Please respect copyright.PENANAHFceuKTD3P
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAH5ZzhLB3eH
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.717Please respect copyright.PENANAqouR00QQ6D
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."717Please respect copyright.PENANAKCyeqbaEWD
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAgbmd6JTyTy
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.717Please respect copyright.PENANARjdzuwSEoQ
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."717Please respect copyright.PENANA4tltumgTPx
I didn't even dare try 717Please respect copyright.PENANAJk76uiS2kz
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 717Please respect copyright.PENANAZqlw48xzTy
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.717Please respect copyright.PENANAr6PM7kEbzT
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAS8lBvjYOPd
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAToWYOyVyBn
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.717Please respect copyright.PENANA2g35kWxyr4
I heard footsteps coming717Please respect copyright.PENANA755Nb7NLu0
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 717Please respect copyright.PENANAIdzwLkh64u
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 717Please respect copyright.PENANAzE95EBb5eP
look at me.717Please respect copyright.PENANAG8h9oboSpC
"Are you okay?" he whispered.717Please respect copyright.PENANAr7AA4cn8VW
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.717Please respect copyright.PENANAJmeup9LvKj
I soon felt strong hands717Please respect copyright.PENANAXKY8f4WMFA
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD717Please respect copyright.PENANADWLSF7xzOw
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.717Please respect copyright.PENANA1jQM2eRUJ1
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAKLYaErPJVu
"I'm a whole lot better,717Please respect copyright.PENANA89ux8Yyd3z
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 717Please respect copyright.PENANACiYyS1Dk4U
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.717Please respect copyright.PENANAml9qhGDHIb
"Glad to hear that."717Please respect copyright.PENANAjfK5lKMilG
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.717Please respect copyright.PENANAPjanEjwtNn
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."717Please respect copyright.PENANA8Eu0yAGLYW
I was planning not to 717Please respect copyright.PENANARSU15NQg9X
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 717Please respect copyright.PENANAhhPfwXG0Oa
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 717Please respect copyright.PENANAqK7r2lPegL
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to717Please respect copyright.PENANAopF1slWVUi
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 717Please respect copyright.PENANAY3X6Y0gZ5N
under the bridge.717Please respect copyright.PENANAD06aezkh4C
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."717Please respect copyright.PENANAEDK37gEVyB
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAYRiHMAbxnc
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."717Please respect copyright.PENANAM2csUFvJ9p
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."717Please respect copyright.PENANAMeooOHmxT7
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.717Please respect copyright.PENANAWJMqvZqpOt
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.717Please respect copyright.PENANAUnVR4tibc2
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAu3tvXbN3wS
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."717Please respect copyright.PENANA7n4yLdR2qv
The waiters soon came 717Please respect copyright.PENANACWnsiuvdFA
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.717Please respect copyright.PENANAzhKQpiLdF7
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 717Please respect copyright.PENANAUAhblQw1kG
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 717Please respect copyright.PENANArtRcP2UAFf
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.717Please respect copyright.PENANAzO0IzkYylD
For a moment, I felt 717Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ4XK9nygd
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7biz3RgHr
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 717Please respect copyright.PENANAscQcPRJsf5
me to forget that I was ever mad.717Please respect copyright.PENANAFchhipCgg5
"Mmm, this is so 717Please respect copyright.PENANAp6hzqRnt0F
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 717Please respect copyright.PENANAnBsGkRPAXa
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."717Please respect copyright.PENANAxt0elS5sUZ
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."717Please respect copyright.PENANArxh0RfC9St
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."717Please respect copyright.PENANAudwyKU9OCG
"Anything for you, Sam,"717Please respect copyright.PENANAeaS9f4xdtu
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 717Please respect copyright.PENANA5Pdos1SxrZ
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."717Please respect copyright.PENANAL8qwuIPvtk
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAU7rZlC6hki
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.717Please respect copyright.PENANAyWGnJkDWSe
I had just taken in some717Please respect copyright.PENANAzXm4F8kGwF
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 717Please respect copyright.PENANAgcO3tGsaCq
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly717Please respect copyright.PENANAh334PW6bZ5
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 717Please respect copyright.PENANAFLggBKMc2a
just said.717Please respect copyright.PENANA68wg719znK
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAmdalinCyhB
"Well, ya," Christine 717Please respect copyright.PENANAr7p8aCtEC1
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 717Please respect copyright.PENANAZusY3HnLjs
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 717Please respect copyright.PENANAWDSRMnVUYU
special lunch to lighten your mood."717Please respect copyright.PENANA1e19vOKvSc
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.717Please respect copyright.PENANAyxjla2jksb
"Thanks for the lunch, 717Please respect copyright.PENANASfCfVjgjUm
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so717Please respect copyright.PENANAUYYfFpIQ7H
sweet of you to have come up with this."717Please respect copyright.PENANAOHCjaSCPhQ
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.717Please respect copyright.PENANAUE8YwaQG5u
I almost felt like 717Please respect copyright.PENANAB5JCxPVJIk
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 717Please respect copyright.PENANAYPrUiQy9PW
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare717Please respect copyright.PENANAYtRHhynitX
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 717Please respect copyright.PENANAmEe3wHTfqB
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 717Please respect copyright.PENANAndJoY9ItoP
turning into rage?717Please respect copyright.PENANAkf0ljzbuOC
Oh, goodness. I needed 717Please respect copyright.PENANANAb2QZGVDd
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 717Please respect copyright.PENANA2t5h3MhBgY
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 717Please respect copyright.PENANAXSXNumqjv7
I tried to push aside 717Please respect copyright.PENANAiV1mIGPJB1
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 717Please respect copyright.PENANARLKPgiNEPB
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 717Please respect copyright.PENANAzL2lIAP2BG
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 717Please respect copyright.PENANAKgLllqKzA3
chocolate moussé.717Please respect copyright.PENANAHbx6OYnYoS
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,717Please respect copyright.PENANAUy3BgYa7qD
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 717Please respect copyright.PENANAJpuZjQn49b
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.717Please respect copyright.PENANAMDP48wkPcZ
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.717Please respect copyright.PENANAGYdi8L4jS5
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."717Please respect copyright.PENANAhTx8dgWRHD
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.717Please respect copyright.PENANA6UkNQUgH7M
I didn't wait for 717Please respect copyright.PENANAzaCkL0ecmG
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I717Please respect copyright.PENANAYPyHiHldc9
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed717Please respect copyright.PENANAocEVKn1hOh
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 717Please respect copyright.PENANAg1NL8fXBqe
heaven.717Please respect copyright.PENANAJqmdxLtoKg
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.717Please respect copyright.PENANALSy98Y1lGl
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."717Please respect copyright.PENANA7yawRkkY8U
"I don't care," I said 717Please respect copyright.PENANAMYkOfdiUGE
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 717Please respect copyright.PENANA9zCd0f5Kk3
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."717Please respect copyright.PENANAJwDY4v0e7l
G-Dragon smiled back at 717Please respect copyright.PENANAUg70K06TPs
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 717Please respect copyright.PENANAgq0NDFGHXA
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 717Please respect copyright.PENANA4mF6XIILQD
away.717Please respect copyright.PENANADV9IqhG79k
After dessert, we all 717Please respect copyright.PENANAvWjwRuFvOf
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 717Please respect copyright.PENANAGpT6knmmhC
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 717Please respect copyright.PENANAe0PVAuD8HT
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 717Please respect copyright.PENANAOxEi5hVyiY
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 717Please respect copyright.PENANAGLWj5UCKpM
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 717Please respect copyright.PENANA6H6l1qeMOZ
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.717Please respect copyright.PENANAFb4nkHz2eh
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAdh6oWqWBgf
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.717Please respect copyright.PENANAkwqHSdcy9p
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."717Please respect copyright.PENANAW8DEoplXzU
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.717Please respect copyright.PENANAeegNpgC3Lc
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."717Please respect copyright.PENANAXCmDmKREXC
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."717Please respect copyright.PENANAwGxCrkFPcT
"What stuff?" TOP asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAw3Z0KOLg27
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAD9qbUZ7umy
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."717Please respect copyright.PENANA1FUilgKCTl
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.717Please respect copyright.PENANAFqLFoC6kd7
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.717Please respect copyright.PENANA1wUGUnsEK9
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.717Please respect copyright.PENANAeb4vH61tSD
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.717Please respect copyright.PENANAjV3T4MEIp8
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."717Please respect copyright.PENANAU9eyNYSkA7
"Wait, what's going on?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAuVBZWaa2it
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAcfS1s32UUT
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"717Please respect copyright.PENANARHrbWBTm4E
"I thought we should all717Please respect copyright.PENANAZZFdLwc548
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 717Please respect copyright.PENANAsbKD7d3I5u
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."717Please respect copyright.PENANAwEcad0kn5n
"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.717Please respect copyright.PENANAhjwjW5KmCX
"I don't know, I feel we717Please respect copyright.PENANAqOOnMs2lfA
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.717Please respect copyright.PENANA9MmtX2mUuO
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out717Please respect copyright.PENANAKZWqEZIqhr
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."717Please respect copyright.PENANAcr3vtXu3md
"I don't get it though,"717Please respect copyright.PENANAVmtwcdtVpy
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 717Please respect copyright.PENANAT7WtAeqPVo
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write717Please respect copyright.PENANAM426PYdyhL
the lyrics?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAEqdg8aKpdF
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.717Please respect copyright.PENANABGqkPeuTBs
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAhF498EyoYM
This time, I also raised717Please respect copyright.PENANAS4XAJhXstc
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 717Please respect copyright.PENANAClGwLFCrqz
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.717Please respect copyright.PENANAW7lOtl2S9E
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAhJkuEFDXng
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.717Please respect copyright.PENANAmHZfoZgyRv
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.717Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ4Pb6iKJD
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANAR20DrU14Zb
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."717Please respect copyright.PENANAFntK6X1pk6
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAOHoCxSLckP
By the way G-Dragon 717Please respect copyright.PENANA2i0gN2h6wM
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 717Please respect copyright.PENANAtSE81xgv17
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And717Please respect copyright.PENANAhZNuHOYYB9
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of717Please respect copyright.PENANAgj0lbve1Zw
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.717Please respect copyright.PENANAyyXJZPvmQ1
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."717Please respect copyright.PENANADYoeIMoZAX
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAEWIZrvCaaX
"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."717Please respect copyright.PENANA8aUvVmMdXY
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.717Please respect copyright.PENANAMEAugwvDvK
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAM32mmkr7L7
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.717Please respect copyright.PENANAn9Fl1EhioL
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."717Please respect copyright.PENANArm8gRZ7dTl
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."717Please respect copyright.PENANAizuMD98rIg
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."717Please respect copyright.PENANAS8GY3qYZeO
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."717Please respect copyright.PENANAfr8cPL8tfI
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."717Please respect copyright.PENANAqZZvYQg3i7
"What truth?" I asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANA4kCoxAZxge
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."717Please respect copyright.PENANA25GXIzUOKK
Taeyang was right. I was717Please respect copyright.PENANAqrNzZOtz8O
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 717Please respect copyright.PENANAR7WQb6vTnQ
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 717Please respect copyright.PENANAiIkHn2lb5R
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 717Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZYnGk1WXB
attention.717Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8lVLZriBX
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."717Please respect copyright.PENANAChJjSljoGD
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."717Please respect copyright.PENANAoZgB1mzruI
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel717Please respect copyright.PENANAOl3DTt6A2U
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 717Please respect copyright.PENANAKkhZ0GjGX8
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!717Please respect copyright.PENANA2GPzhnxH1q
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.717Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ6GMJrb0z
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.717Please respect copyright.PENANAgM5TnA5tlY
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.717Please respect copyright.PENANAjdy5YVu8Sl
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.717Please respect copyright.PENANAVlkRTdurXs
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.717Please respect copyright.PENANAo4BORLhDL4
"But I....." 717Please respect copyright.PENANA2riBjnafpH
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 717Please respect copyright.PENANAKZexMJk8dF
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've717Please respect copyright.PENANABrLHEUbAme
talked way too much, don't you think?"717Please respect copyright.PENANAjUqUGjhLE5
That felt like a slap in717Please respect copyright.PENANAs6VAx9fuMS
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 717Please respect copyright.PENANAS2kvmNOliM
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 717Please respect copyright.PENANAbRGa1FtKOt
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 717Please respect copyright.PENANA7OuJo1DSEh
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 717Please respect copyright.PENANAOpJpuHWHDY
about what I thought was best for the whole group?717Please respect copyright.PENANA1SBiYgWlXt
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.717Please respect copyright.PENANAMv2AX4LkPu
"That's fine with me," said Mike.717Please respect copyright.PENANAeR2AtdmMBW
Everyone else agreed, 717Please respect copyright.PENANApHknWKrIQW
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 717Please respect copyright.PENANAlFoefFMwr7
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 717Please respect copyright.PENANAZfzpGn5QCl
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 717Please respect copyright.PENANAkAB8cLHyWp
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 717Please respect copyright.PENANAKCMHLFcCcu
B, just in case.717Please respect copyright.PENANA3XE92d29L9
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.717Please respect copyright.PENANA1XZHl2sdgr
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.717Please respect copyright.PENANAqNMLceR7uO
"Not now, Sam. We will 717Please respect copyright.PENANAjgIWwe70rA
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 717Please respect copyright.PENANAiVD6gyPcAZ
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 717Please respect copyright.PENANAVxrTfpS61K
gave me goosebumps.717Please respect copyright.PENANAbwZK14pbak
"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."717Please respect copyright.PENANATVwDONZKQD
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAIhnA06c4gA
One by one everyone 717Please respect copyright.PENANAFlmI3rITc1
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 717Please respect copyright.PENANAqrQmcQxKEh
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem717Please respect copyright.PENANAvedY48NYVt
appropriate.717Please respect copyright.PENANAKI4yKJMKZP
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.717Please respect copyright.PENANAY3EbS0iOQX
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.717Please respect copyright.PENANALTnpyL5qpE
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.717Please respect copyright.PENANA3RRJZ1TpZa
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.717Please respect copyright.PENANAKAIb0m41AB
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."717Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZGECkC3QI
"It's not that. I pissed717Please respect copyright.PENANAebnIjJBtno
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take717Please respect copyright.PENANA1FNBws2syU
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."717Please respect copyright.PENANAhKUu7MAgty
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."717Please respect copyright.PENANAVllCmUL7WX
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."717Please respect copyright.PENANAEdDJdrnVpB
Taeyang placed his hand 717Please respect copyright.PENANAOPLH1XdJsp
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He717Please respect copyright.PENANACOaf8tzWyR
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.717Please respect copyright.PENANAOPJxqkmjIY
I knew I had to hope for717Please respect copyright.PENANAQMeqicgwmJ
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut717Please respect copyright.PENANAPR5aHzx3YC
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 717Please respect copyright.PENANAHd1o4o17VN
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 717Please respect copyright.PENANA9Froxn3vqb
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 717Please respect copyright.PENANANCkLCOmjt0
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
