The water felt like a 698Please respect copyright.PENANAFd3EUWiCnB
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 698Please respect copyright.PENANAVxxWIX5I7K
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAWRzWNBtdMz
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 698Please respect copyright.PENANAqeMUXITEp4
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 698Please respect copyright.PENANAMjRMUZPIdp
breathe. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAkJkeCthudh
I pushed myself upwards 698Please respect copyright.PENANAMBsUTX3awn
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of698Please respect copyright.PENANAP1prE360rN
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 698Please respect copyright.PENANArZbTDSl0tW
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAUL5LLmqT18
edge.698Please respect copyright.PENANAsAoSTebcKd
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.698Please respect copyright.PENANAgXqsbP9FAd
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.698Please respect copyright.PENANAkDuRIS3h6w
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.698Please respect copyright.PENANA8SSHCmNlMK
I looked ridiculously 698Please respect copyright.PENANA5C6YixMwwm
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 698Please respect copyright.PENANAdWzTGc6t5p
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 698Please respect copyright.PENANAsI9uUpJyud
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 698Please respect copyright.PENANAmn9UbzYGFq
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 698Please respect copyright.PENANAGOYtIMdiPH
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.698Please respect copyright.PENANAThiOypWNvm
I looked around me and 698Please respect copyright.PENANApWc0gro0R7
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAkHi0KIzUE9
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 698Please respect copyright.PENANA2qRNNMnqOp
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 698Please respect copyright.PENANAShrhSOhZAT
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.698Please respect copyright.PENANAjoXiIhkoyf
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."698Please respect copyright.PENANAaA0hpDa4FX
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."698Please respect copyright.PENANAvAqRfpcQw3
I heard Zoey and the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAX8F69ghhVa
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on698Please respect copyright.PENANA5jZ2cAK5qo
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.698Please respect copyright.PENANAtnPqYnKyb1
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 698Please respect copyright.PENANANKrtT2BfZj
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's698Please respect copyright.PENANAwLc7092RbL
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 698Please respect copyright.PENANAjk6f9R3p9p
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."698Please respect copyright.PENANApp6NwvfXay
"I already told you, I'm698Please respect copyright.PENANARKzLlPS9Vw
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I698Please respect copyright.PENANAts7YcTOIUO
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 698Please respect copyright.PENANAGBSfi68Fjc
from anyone.698Please respect copyright.PENANA5avEZo0lBs
I made my way towards GD698Please respect copyright.PENANAeFzCDj0VvT
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what698Please respect copyright.PENANARgdEFYZHAs
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 698Please respect copyright.PENANA1IBoKrSWOn
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.698Please respect copyright.PENANAWib5Jyudt4
"Oh, man, Sam," said 698Please respect copyright.PENANAP8AJ2NPLPs
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 698Please respect copyright.PENANA7EAZT2Ln6a
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAuelIeVhd6w
game. Hope you didn't mind."698Please respect copyright.PENANAgwTnoOxxhy
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."698Please respect copyright.PENANAbWhHRdOr0t
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."698Please respect copyright.PENANAtRTmNErsxR
"I told you, our 698Please respect copyright.PENANA4qx7A00Z5Y
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 698Please respect copyright.PENANAO1WfeFViLi
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 698Please respect copyright.PENANAJY15SQD8pY
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 698Please respect copyright.PENANAGi6QQhOdML
Daesung.698Please respect copyright.PENANAnEw7nC34gI
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.698Please respect copyright.PENANAr2xnP1OG7l
I dialled Lee's number 698Please respect copyright.PENANAnf9IvstLSq
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 698Please respect copyright.PENANA6OZVWyF7Ww
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAllDjwRULtS
They would know soon enough.698Please respect copyright.PENANATHqE3CAOKc
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.698Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9IVP9enJt
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.698Please respect copyright.PENANAcut1MKr5WB
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"698Please respect copyright.PENANATQ9WhMcNvT
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAj6cLSCkV9f
"No, not yet. But you 698Please respect copyright.PENANAntAe7wp6c0
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And698Please respect copyright.PENANACgFoG52v5V
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."698Please respect copyright.PENANA1FMPHpLKe7
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."698Please respect copyright.PENANAWPltzCVemo
"Okay, I'll be waiting."698Please respect copyright.PENANAoCjmdymkMw
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.698Please respect copyright.PENANAsk2l2GZuNk
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"698Please respect copyright.PENANASxpun5LCVq
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."698Please respect copyright.PENANA4QkkfRPdOQ
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAeEyzkVhfk3
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."698Please respect copyright.PENANAG5lpPtbwG0
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.698Please respect copyright.PENANAv8NXOwuB1t
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."698Please respect copyright.PENANAyaFov2AgKv
I shook my head. I was 698Please respect copyright.PENANAo8TaxuhEwT
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 698Please respect copyright.PENANATIbDPGetNc
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 698Please respect copyright.PENANAaqJNtHmZTU
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.698Please respect copyright.PENANASI4PbG2RAN
After walking a few feet698Please respect copyright.PENANAkcVfVzot5E
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 698Please respect copyright.PENANAh9C13MHgIw
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was698Please respect copyright.PENANAgqyHpkpezR
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 698Please respect copyright.PENANAAOJpk1TQO8
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.698Please respect copyright.PENANAlUSaoUBUXf
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAeVOXEtCFpL
None of them answered as698Please respect copyright.PENANA6EXIfPnvPM
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAptntWU1n16
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 698Please respect copyright.PENANAerIoRHbi8u
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.698Please respect copyright.PENANAJAJ7DRc8gb
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.698Please respect copyright.PENANAj3VOQeKBmx
"I wasn't going to say 698Please respect copyright.PENANATPiDrJf7Gk
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing698Please respect copyright.PENANAk7Lzxn59wx
you would want to hear from me is advice."698Please respect copyright.PENANALvSuo5cPLv
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAgMTxwbb7z2
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.698Please respect copyright.PENANAAEoOOYWyUl
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."698Please respect copyright.PENANANAO69rHLCA
"I'm still upset, though."698Please respect copyright.PENANApwyg3OS8ET
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."698Please respect copyright.PENANAkSogSTHjnd
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."698Please respect copyright.PENANA5R1ZgyHBrd
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."698Please respect copyright.PENANAGemhyaCanU
I gave TOP an assuring 698Please respect copyright.PENANApgSsVfihDZ
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way698Please respect copyright.PENANArADI7R4ddk
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 698Please respect copyright.PENANA9aVz2twtFX
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I698Please respect copyright.PENANADfSi8aWGTp
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't698Please respect copyright.PENANAbDcdEaJouW
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 698Please respect copyright.PENANALMvUmyhaag
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.698Please respect copyright.PENANAF6xEFsyfed
We all found ourselves 698Please respect copyright.PENANAnTtDJ5QQTK
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins698Please respect copyright.PENANAZv0aekVron
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 698Please respect copyright.PENANAfVH3OQLrmh
were waiting for me. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAF21OfXCoLg
"Hey, Sam, you don't 698Please respect copyright.PENANA2qSVakOTdX
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 698Please respect copyright.PENANAGm87LRsaev
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.698Please respect copyright.PENANAsUgJyQ1sQ0
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."698Please respect copyright.PENANAUcS9c5WqXb
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 698Please respect copyright.PENANARf7ozo6g4X
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAOmr2pPmq7N
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch698Please respect copyright.PENANArDxM2Tdc89
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAYtl4ibG28t
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.698Please respect copyright.PENANAHeEcZPTqdu
I had my eyes closed 698Please respect copyright.PENANA82EtpaRNIn
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found698Please respect copyright.PENANA58P8vVf2Kv
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.698Please respect copyright.PENANAJZcxM46Je4
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."698Please respect copyright.PENANASiR8RZByK3
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.698Please respect copyright.PENANAv5B2QEbjJU
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."698Please respect copyright.PENANAKAw4lF3qj0
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."698Please respect copyright.PENANAcA9cjYJ5e2
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."698Please respect copyright.PENANAWNIFw8Nod2
Taeyang led me to his 698Please respect copyright.PENANAavtx0eTHMs
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 698Please respect copyright.PENANACKu7aitPQr
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 698Please respect copyright.PENANAZPF7jEh8sG
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.698Please respect copyright.PENANAC1qEFmkd7J
In about thirty minutes,698Please respect copyright.PENANAB1C5JXCL2P
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 698Please respect copyright.PENANA6IUwRMAX1N
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 698Please respect copyright.PENANAKaeY0zfJrD
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 698Please respect copyright.PENANAE7c8xt7Ey7
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 698Please respect copyright.PENANA1pEwRSQPL0
appeared out of the elevator.698Please respect copyright.PENANAzcMdX2xmtB
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAL7gZBWfh8P
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.698Please respect copyright.PENANACjmyUUumLh
Lee who stood behind 698Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wi0Ei38w9
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 698Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2ZwqgG7ix
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 698Please respect copyright.PENANAKpiwxbFGe2
other things in mind.698Please respect copyright.PENANADf4wVbIgSR
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"698Please respect copyright.PENANABZiybboKQd
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 698Please respect copyright.PENANAgQRiIZCqzf
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 698Please respect copyright.PENANAkbrWL2TW22
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.698Please respect copyright.PENANAODGK32O3Dx
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAdWJ8r58gIi
"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."698Please respect copyright.PENANAiAAfrm9aHh
There was an awkward 698Please respect copyright.PENANA4lfU7KMWIl
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,698Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ex43x6j8R
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.698Please respect copyright.PENANAGORWZpPwQ7
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANASJzGIfmv7o
"Well, I hear the press 698Please respect copyright.PENANAlpW6wxmT9s
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon698Please respect copyright.PENANAmpKjFz72LW
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."698Please respect copyright.PENANAWyI6wuXvZJ
"That won't be 698Please respect copyright.PENANAUv9FvuUAIA
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 698Please respect copyright.PENANATX95kQGPwB
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to698Please respect copyright.PENANAri1DkH4FsU
go to the press looking all wet."698Please respect copyright.PENANAartjYl6jx0
I breathed out a sigh of698Please respect copyright.PENANAihu3hUUCCx
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 698Please respect copyright.PENANATItJaDLH01
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.698Please respect copyright.PENANA1d1gYk8IO6
"In the meantime, you go698Please respect copyright.PENANAwqR6x8JZj0
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 698Please respect copyright.PENANAOEB3xectNB
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."698Please respect copyright.PENANAzutzAurcAN
I nodded my head in 698Please respect copyright.PENANAausEvF8SFl
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 698Please respect copyright.PENANAcamKCXocno
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.698Please respect copyright.PENANA8YZ9XiUjhx
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.698Please respect copyright.PENANAwCGaZ8X6E7
"Alright," I said 698Please respect copyright.PENANApAH37LPZ7w
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 698Please respect copyright.PENANA6HVjxtuHii
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like698Please respect copyright.PENANAXuzZlD6XFE
I was only making things worse.698Please respect copyright.PENANA0RuJyI0Sou
Before I turned to leave698Please respect copyright.PENANAmfraldFF6T
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 698Please respect copyright.PENANArkHhfdArMq
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 698Please respect copyright.PENANAzEkpVZtUW9
one.698Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ2Eqk1Sct
***698Please respect copyright.PENANAuMiyJzX8mx
I sat on the couch all 698Please respect copyright.PENANA795oBYIqtd
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued698Please respect copyright.PENANA7MHpPbr5wv
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"698Please respect copyright.PENANAJTJj8ZIYQ5
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAnkjUlwiVqK
I had a box of paper 698Please respect copyright.PENANAXhdsNx1YzZ
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my698Please respect copyright.PENANAFw7gEBYMzm
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 698Please respect copyright.PENANAfBajk9ti19
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.698Please respect copyright.PENANAVxXFynszv9
I continued watching the698Please respect copyright.PENANAQuGhTETTOZ
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 698Please respect copyright.PENANAyY5AJHa1tc
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.698Please respect copyright.PENANAhxGX3RMfLE
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.698Please respect copyright.PENANATNAvsV90xK
"Never better," I said, 698Please respect copyright.PENANArKwJ1BvZnm
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 698Please respect copyright.PENANAqKEpork54r
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."698Please respect copyright.PENANAvV3hnosGRk
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.698Please respect copyright.PENANA7eg5ESmPDo
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.698Please respect copyright.PENANA8PjEo0zIwx
"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.698Please respect copyright.PENANAfRFqkIZHd0
"And the others?" 698Please respect copyright.PENANAziNb3KEZ50
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.698Please respect copyright.PENANA9VHhfZ29I1
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.698Please respect copyright.PENANAsAWdY8IIuj
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANA0n2XK7UHce
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.698Please respect copyright.PENANAKEhYkpFaDQ
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.698Please respect copyright.PENANA4lzSkbepcA
"You don't know or you are?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAsH0ZEM8yOb
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.698Please respect copyright.PENANAm5cziTq8NY
"I don't know, Tae," I 698Please respect copyright.PENANAT9ALN2ZxHW
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 698Please respect copyright.PENANAu0uhJbIlti
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 698Please respect copyright.PENANA1NkbrLiKC3
forget all that happened yesterday."698Please respect copyright.PENANA9rvBHGo2NP
"Ya, I understand. They 698Please respect copyright.PENANA2wkodwvd3d
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 698Please respect copyright.PENANAtQkLzKVH96
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were698Please respect copyright.PENANAOAZ2Pwl4lV
going to get."698Please respect copyright.PENANATepmtzfRxY
I looked on at Taeyang 698Please respect copyright.PENANAOG4RvAAP6u
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 698Please respect copyright.PENANAq3dpgdlrw7
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 698Please respect copyright.PENANACUZguKnGGV
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 698Please respect copyright.PENANAjGgFixAdqs
who was as tough as nails.698Please respect copyright.PENANA4l3Le36J5R
Last night, I took the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAOHUHjdnlTC
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 698Please respect copyright.PENANAeke2VXPlBi
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 698Please respect copyright.PENANApOBwSlznV4
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 698Please respect copyright.PENANAT1vSawz72q
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAvB4Y4ryizU
Apparently, the managers698Please respect copyright.PENANAKD6zAwg6Fu
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 698Please respect copyright.PENANA3EOBsgQBPz
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought698Please respect copyright.PENANAOg7ni6AyKK
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 698Please respect copyright.PENANAjNvzjzR71g
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 698Please respect copyright.PENANAhOdMffgIDd
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 698Please respect copyright.PENANAmnB0qxXCRw
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 698Please respect copyright.PENANA4s4ZrDvGQS
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 698Please respect copyright.PENANAWImbmMkApt
and the reporters.698Please respect copyright.PENANATrdeL9U27V
After my confrontation 698Please respect copyright.PENANATVnOl26Tv4
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I698Please respect copyright.PENANA7UijPCdW2I
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,698Please respect copyright.PENANA4cUbPhXrSA
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.698Please respect copyright.PENANAZobnNvdY2A
"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."698Please respect copyright.PENANASLDIXFYrEI
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.698Please respect copyright.PENANASzocm9gfKx
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."698Please respect copyright.PENANAzfB945sCzY
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."698Please respect copyright.PENANAo0aucob7ly
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."698Please respect copyright.PENANATQwNJ1j3qM
"Have you tried talking to GD?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAxg3HCsWKB1
"To be honest, I haven't698Please respect copyright.PENANAUt57QwBV3x
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 698Please respect copyright.PENANA3Iu1kWU9uN
slap him in the face if I see him."698Please respect copyright.PENANAqu2O46UPgE
"I don't doubt that."698Please respect copyright.PENANAGjwQzlObH1
"And thank goodness my 698Please respect copyright.PENANAE9roEmiCen
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 698Please respect copyright.PENANA8bwXHyA6oY
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I698Please respect copyright.PENANANP2Q2zr3P5
want to do is watch some TV."698Please respect copyright.PENANAWXkvp6WSTF
I quickly drank my 698Please respect copyright.PENANAszYpr0Kt2H
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 698Please respect copyright.PENANAVU7DZjRK63
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 698Please respect copyright.PENANAQVZ0Wq7RkQ
to.698Please respect copyright.PENANACDTdgcTB7G
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.698Please respect copyright.PENANASRNiM1YP5B
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.698Please respect copyright.PENANAlHX4mPkL7u
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"698Please respect copyright.PENANA5RVksb1OJY
"Nope."698Please respect copyright.PENANAkX0ZPpKXsw
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.698Please respect copyright.PENANANpg1MgeLJT
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANASdUZpvcpT7
Taeyang didn't say 698Please respect copyright.PENANARhOtClzdGM
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened698Please respect copyright.PENANAyO6wmmfnw3
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."698Please respect copyright.PENANAsvEp6Z4rSC
"I know you fought or 698Please respect copyright.PENANArkfYLGtl1W
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAntII3MKSWj
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."698Please respect copyright.PENANATq6kiIh0VA
I noticed Taeyang smile 698Please respect copyright.PENANAarMzZmLCJj
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 698Please respect copyright.PENANAcL9f7Pi24y
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 698Please respect copyright.PENANA9E9xly9Ao0
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.698Please respect copyright.PENANA5umfcZeTw7
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.698Please respect copyright.PENANAbgytHPM6JL
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."698Please respect copyright.PENANABEpdLokhx3
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?698Please respect copyright.PENANAaeJ6I8jidu
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.698Please respect copyright.PENANAYtmLXcKPPV
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."698Please respect copyright.PENANA2th6FHZdvt
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."698Please respect copyright.PENANAdPMi6vmq44
Before I could finish my698Please respect copyright.PENANAIGY2E3G3NC
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 698Please respect copyright.PENANAdY1SelcwXs
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.698Please respect copyright.PENANAkeglMRFqeS
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.698Please respect copyright.PENANAhH6wP7LKax
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.698Please respect copyright.PENANASKSzN6TOgY
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."698Please respect copyright.PENANAYtnPhlJGeZ
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."698Please respect copyright.PENANAtiOM2xkWO8
"Yep, cheers to that." 698Please respect copyright.PENANA7DPBVxqMtK
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAezB2X3T3AG
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.698Please respect copyright.PENANAitXieHByT9
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAaWerryrBzl
"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."698Please respect copyright.PENANA8yWaRK8qwE
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."698Please respect copyright.PENANAs8zndsUr1w
"Wow, that sounds personal."698Please respect copyright.PENANADpEjJnyLHv
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."698Please respect copyright.PENANAdxkcrtih6z
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAi4AuUemvJ3
"I think I've a better 698Please respect copyright.PENANAsfpbTUlNB7
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 698Please respect copyright.PENANAyxWptiwue8
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 698Please respect copyright.PENANAVM2UxpW3hU
lyrics. It's better that way."698Please respect copyright.PENANAcyXXjGhADR
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAm7sdU7Jnb1
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."698Please respect copyright.PENANAvKyCchKsza
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."698Please respect copyright.PENANAwVPe7kWmDz
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."698Please respect copyright.PENANA80Z54jt6xC
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."698Please respect copyright.PENANAv5zRAutHCf
"Haha, good point."698Please respect copyright.PENANAKiARBiIeTd
Taeyang and I continued 698Please respect copyright.PENANA5EhqSl5gnI
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 698Please respect copyright.PENANASaPrt2qC3f
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 698Please respect copyright.PENANAmlWYs4QY60
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we698Please respect copyright.PENANArmkUdUXL7H
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 698Please respect copyright.PENANAVNjvQNiQDX
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 698Please respect copyright.PENANAjHIQF2dG8A
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 698Please respect copyright.PENANAR1qja42IIW
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 698Please respect copyright.PENANAa85agEcook
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.698Please respect copyright.PENANAzPMg7UrsKz
While the two of us were698Please respect copyright.PENANAEpycedpjjO
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,698Please respect copyright.PENANA28ON0Dp4SL
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAngE36h4QVp
I quickly went over to 698Please respect copyright.PENANAnBtJ7QXovD
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was698Please respect copyright.PENANA5xIbMduuMh
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung698Please respect copyright.PENANAok5OcRW992
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could698Please respect copyright.PENANAdbP6NhOjGr
come up and I put the receiver down.698Please respect copyright.PENANAZr0805ZQDG
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."698Please respect copyright.PENANAXbksAz9gin
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."698Please respect copyright.PENANALoBZS7fhgD
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."698Please respect copyright.PENANArozZB35FbG
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.698Please respect copyright.PENANA9A0i9MZDDL
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.698Please respect copyright.PENANALcoHDZvKOn
"Eww, that pillow 698Please respect copyright.PENANAu8YFsWVRYV
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 698Please respect copyright.PENANAp33KxNmRNw
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.698Please respect copyright.PENANARsJvaBN4rB
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.698Please respect copyright.PENANAC9zMySRd1K
A few seconds later, we 698Please respect copyright.PENANAuYjAPM3w3S
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 698Please respect copyright.PENANAGmQcsFoALA
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 698Please respect copyright.PENANAkVTjyj8iyB
holding a box of chocolates.698Please respect copyright.PENANAiIoi7xjWsn
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.698Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ3RAGvpJa
"Ah, no, the panda is a 698Please respect copyright.PENANAKebZUXYJFe
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 698Please respect copyright.PENANAOmCjkB0WSK
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 698Please respect copyright.PENANA9OtMT6LYIT
same time.698Please respect copyright.PENANAAzY4oRtzuh
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."698Please respect copyright.PENANAjPL962vu5K
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.698Please respect copyright.PENANAUjqEQXimnS
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAkcc8Fw76Z9
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."698Please respect copyright.PENANAHLBRzDNpaD
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.698Please respect copyright.PENANASx8XqftMh5
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.698Please respect copyright.PENANAO6MvE7eXdj
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."698Please respect copyright.PENANAyoaHI9toR8
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.698Please respect copyright.PENANAbV2TzsVexa
"For goodness sake, I 698Please respect copyright.PENANAYR7rZBelUy
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 698Please respect copyright.PENANA1PJXnuyWCN
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 698Please respect copyright.PENANAeG9SrfFBIb
scared with me."698Please respect copyright.PENANA7s3OdAA0I7
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.698Please respect copyright.PENANA9KRyWoKOH6
I took the panda in my 698Please respect copyright.PENANA7K4bvdD63z
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 698Please respect copyright.PENANAufxPTjEX84
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 698Please respect copyright.PENANAaHY6Rta4mu
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 698Please respect copyright.PENANA61LydtlUKq
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.698Please respect copyright.PENANAbFdsyaq99f
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."698Please respect copyright.PENANAs3Cm69svcg
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."698Please respect copyright.PENANAhf5qk0dGxJ
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAeamNhNZcU1
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.698Please respect copyright.PENANA9zzQk6t5n0
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."698Please respect copyright.PENANAkA9Ml5NLLh
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I698Please respect copyright.PENANAeoH71lwamO
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 698Please respect copyright.PENANAT1Jylz3ZoS
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 698Please respect copyright.PENANAWFk9k6fqmA
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."698Please respect copyright.PENANATtJz9OSnCV
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."698Please respect copyright.PENANAQEKaAL90q6
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."698Please respect copyright.PENANAno21hiWGoM
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.698Please respect copyright.PENANAzL9reQqQ13
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."698Please respect copyright.PENANA26jlHm5Agg
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.698Please respect copyright.PENANAXXsnfYjGxs
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."698Please respect copyright.PENANAXFNVwyJS8Z
"Ya, I do."698Please respect copyright.PENANAFc2HutYinq
While the four of us 698Please respect copyright.PENANAzCz72VuXZh
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 698Please respect copyright.PENANANSSnAdIYei
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 698Please respect copyright.PENANA9LbZmDxLrZ
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 698Please respect copyright.PENANAIqV0OHuCKC
said:698Please respect copyright.PENANAvoMh0x1NEm
"Hey, Zoey." 698Please respect copyright.PENANA4W5ay8znWl
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAVPbfTrM070
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."698Please respect copyright.PENANAh3ryni22AG
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.698Please respect copyright.PENANAD99SGz0oFM
"It's good you came to 698Please respect copyright.PENANAbemk0s24DR
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 698Please respect copyright.PENANAiTwLB5a5Y3
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 698Please respect copyright.PENANA3guBQdSEEP
couch.698Please respect copyright.PENANA0T3PqpfCOr
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"698Please respect copyright.PENANA7M9iPi6ueF
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"698Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9D5p25o2f
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANARj6CSyf7Qm
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 698Please respect copyright.PENANASUJpbSVgUm
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.698Please respect copyright.PENANAEkYFpIcdaQ
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.698Please respect copyright.PENANADYClYPRQ6C
I tugged at my panda's 698Please respect copyright.PENANAgHCOaCiwLA
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it698Please respect copyright.PENANA8OzBokSD3U
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking698Please respect copyright.PENANATlokstY7nD
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.698Please respect copyright.PENANAEzeo97bYC7
The Toxins came back to 698Please respect copyright.PENANAb6giuvJHyQ
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held698Please respect copyright.PENANAREoEL9u2QQ
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine698Please respect copyright.PENANAhywKlXuHd4
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.698Please respect copyright.PENANAmIJSQoS7Vn
For a moment, no one 698Please respect copyright.PENANA60XFFCwYV8
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 698Please respect copyright.PENANALM1hOywEdJ
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.698Please respect copyright.PENANABIUe0n9zoH
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.698Please respect copyright.PENANAVh3P5tLkYV
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAeO6IA3WRYk
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.698Please respect copyright.PENANAuK2uplyyOT
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."698Please respect copyright.PENANAEHrRTZ8ETq
I stared up at the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAj0qnPkeRdJ
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 698Please respect copyright.PENANArw58w0nKyD
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.698Please respect copyright.PENANACe4ymbQPQy
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."698Please respect copyright.PENANAbqvYU3kGUr
When Zoey tried to reach698Please respect copyright.PENANAwUxTpQsuec
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 698Please respect copyright.PENANAHalIJ84YQS
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.698Please respect copyright.PENANAJkzShwFiWs
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.698Please respect copyright.PENANAEIrFiN9zIf
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.698Please respect copyright.PENANANpfLcjlUM5
Zoey looked hurt with 698Please respect copyright.PENANAY6Jser2Cpc
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 698Please respect copyright.PENANANW84iNh06K
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.698Please respect copyright.PENANAA4RW5IWjfJ
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAfKsa3E2cUB
I didn't answer as I put698Please respect copyright.PENANA39zNvGIXM5
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I698Please respect copyright.PENANA9BkxnRdfl0
was still mad, especially at Zoey.698Please respect copyright.PENANASkTFbFjKDP
"I know it's a little 698Please respect copyright.PENANAuCGhgnxXya
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 698Please respect copyright.PENANAPWgDqKWzWl
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 698Please respect copyright.PENANATj7aUzgYUO
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 698Please respect copyright.PENANAchfaQYZA1y
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAeE2SvGdMDi
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 698Please respect copyright.PENANAqRIKxh1k65
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."698Please respect copyright.PENANAK5AsY9NHPZ
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.698Please respect copyright.PENANAf3FlI2kDLW
"I don't like it when 698Please respect copyright.PENANA4KnadUu8IF
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 698Please respect copyright.PENANAsOkBdkZamg
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 698Please respect copyright.PENANAOaGSNHnCJr
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 698Please respect copyright.PENANAGo5SSVwX8y
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 698Please respect copyright.PENANA3I6V4yvFEH
sorry, Sam."698Please respect copyright.PENANAgqKeMNF4r4
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."698Please respect copyright.PENANAGj8w4at2Pp
"I'm sorry too," said 698Please respect copyright.PENANAL3ZRfuNe0Z
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 698Please respect copyright.PENANAjkIi0n8Vnv
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 698Please respect copyright.PENANA5z03jmDQal
for you to talk to us again."698Please respect copyright.PENANA0h7HOMbBdU
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 698Please respect copyright.PENANAEWOJn2NZiB
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 698Please respect copyright.PENANAovNngoxNwu
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 698Please respect copyright.PENANAZl8lcDVUq7
leader."698Please respect copyright.PENANA3mpP9OEQbW
I still didn't say a 698Please respect copyright.PENANAZDbIhO6fzZ
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 698Please respect copyright.PENANATBy9hKTxhG
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 698Please respect copyright.PENANAY8dtHWqKAg
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 698Please respect copyright.PENANAdBoYyuZywU
them despite the awful things they put me through.698Please respect copyright.PENANAwylBrzmP3b
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 698Please respect copyright.PENANARHmWbxH8al
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."698Please respect copyright.PENANAx1NRt2se15
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.698Please respect copyright.PENANAQMVDUF2MFX
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.698Please respect copyright.PENANAmDbE3fPSjN
"I'm mad and pretty much698Please respect copyright.PENANAR8jfdETpNO
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 698Please respect copyright.PENANAR3952QJqEx
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."698Please respect copyright.PENANARS7wVqedXj
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANABVz0tVHUsS
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."698Please respect copyright.PENANAxIcVfSDhSv
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.698Please respect copyright.PENANAswYRb6eTSw
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 698Please respect copyright.PENANAEAQzxaZ9QD
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 698Please respect copyright.PENANAFxfCJ8ejEH
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."698Please respect copyright.PENANAgTv8go5qEM
"Ah, you! Always acting 698Please respect copyright.PENANApRtwUAw2lh
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 698Please respect copyright.PENANAYo8dULykf8
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 698Please respect copyright.PENANAXne4ZBIxVg
catch it anyway."698Please respect copyright.PENANAoIiTf5gAcr
Christine, Daniel and 698Please respect copyright.PENANAiLCtUVxGWf
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAtfKXhUU58s
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 698Please respect copyright.PENANALZzCfc1Ie0
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.698Please respect copyright.PENANAsSMxB87ofW
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.698Please respect copyright.PENANAuX81etz6hx
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.698Please respect copyright.PENANA22iEft3443
"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...."698Please respect copyright.PENANANTcAew32aw
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.698Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9xfkqHHlD
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."698Please respect copyright.PENANAtHLHw5I9rg
"Don't worry, you won't 698Please respect copyright.PENANA3GHpXMewwU
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 698Please respect copyright.PENANApKFWkM9LXA
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.698Please respect copyright.PENANA4onb4ObRss
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.698Please respect copyright.PENANAGsLmewhWqh
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.698Please respect copyright.PENANAr3cJZXUrvw
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAXci6YL5Hdl
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."698Please respect copyright.PENANALuCOOVlU5i
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.698Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z42tLEgDI
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 698Please respect copyright.PENANA1RmU8ASZPH
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAN2aH6iieZV
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."698Please respect copyright.PENANAXOiggU7CUc
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.698Please respect copyright.PENANAMDFtsrkpCh
At that moment, I had 698Please respect copyright.PENANAfaN9lzJySX
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.698Please respect copyright.PENANAPHiGO4SfIj
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.698Please respect copyright.PENANAuy0KpBQNtd
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANA6EzXCrbCSb
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.698Please respect copyright.PENANAukvKReNumE
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."698Please respect copyright.PENANAziJAYZxXfU
Zoey got the box of 698Please respect copyright.PENANAVFYdNCAH0R
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 698Please respect copyright.PENANAyfoVsY945f
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.698Please respect copyright.PENANAtrTdPrg04x
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.698Please respect copyright.PENANAqfBoBePn1K
I was in the passage as I698Please respect copyright.PENANAotev2cC7lb
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 698Please respect copyright.PENANAjnvtiVHXcD
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed698Please respect copyright.PENANAGC6d4H1o6w
in what felt like sadness.698Please respect copyright.PENANA7w9nLzH78A
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.698Please respect copyright.PENANAA1msZZzIqC
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."698Please respect copyright.PENANAOC65cA7H98
I heard his footsteps 698Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8bWYLXH1m
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAEJRNQZNY3M
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.698Please respect copyright.PENANA3ri4abXbx3
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAhE5v0sA2Ha
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAoGnuzmGu0E
"Are we really do this right now?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAiN8liu9sTl
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 698Please respect copyright.PENANAUC6uuM2Mom
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.698Please respect copyright.PENANASIIyFy00xx
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANA1dmFjjKwPx
"Nope." 698Please respect copyright.PENANAithq5XPL3S
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."698Please respect copyright.PENANANyBMjZXhZ9
My eyes almost felt like698Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8oE8pf5gk
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 698Please respect copyright.PENANAUyOYdlErTb
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.698Please respect copyright.PENANAn3WUSkeMAt
I turned to look at him 698Please respect copyright.PENANA4obGZsNHO1
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 698Please respect copyright.PENANApHD8qQrRPT
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.698Please respect copyright.PENANAuiMC3n5l8Q
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.698Please respect copyright.PENANAEGqEvc2YJS
"That you're surrounded 698Please respect copyright.PENANA9ARH8JljqB
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 698Please respect copyright.PENANAr4feO3PqBK
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 698Please respect copyright.PENANAmCYI1IdaPY
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."698Please respect copyright.PENANAOfDFOoDkSo
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 698Please respect copyright.PENANA4lRHBcr2UW
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."698Please respect copyright.PENANAt6kW3GbGG9
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"698Please respect copyright.PENANATLumZioeQg
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."698Please respect copyright.PENANAKr1kd17AMm
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."698Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9Lp3g5TvV
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ9mE9HD6G
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."698Please respect copyright.PENANAqJZp36qvw4
Apparently, I couldn't 698Please respect copyright.PENANAYJQXJTBbLp
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 698Please respect copyright.PENANAOwsK0hjLGt
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAUPMYPq8oxu
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 698Please respect copyright.PENANAzRbp7AT9Y0
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 698Please respect copyright.PENANAGaZE3C5lhI
death.698Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ0XQOJviE
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.698Please respect copyright.PENANApWKdIDyufe
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."698Please respect copyright.PENANA47AUIjspSx
Taeyang folded his arms 698Please respect copyright.PENANA8LEChKXU9K
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think698Please respect copyright.PENANAJnFeuSi42R
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."698Please respect copyright.PENANAqQDjWnlZMd
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.698Please respect copyright.PENANAo8ddeamfyr
"You're may think you're698Please respect copyright.PENANAdgxc9m3dJz
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 698Please respect copyright.PENANA7YINV1X0HX
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 698Please respect copyright.PENANAvVTi5z5WOW
but feeling hurt."698Please respect copyright.PENANAsESQWPJeJQ
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.698Please respect copyright.PENANAg7qyW3wAB1
"But I wouldn't feel 698Please respect copyright.PENANAcdAPDLHAHz
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 698Please respect copyright.PENANAvLgxQYq8oO
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 698Please respect copyright.PENANA9VDzwzU5lT
at Taeyang.698Please respect copyright.PENANAwJevX9vt4B
Taeyang gave me that 698Please respect copyright.PENANAkAcS971Ytg
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 698Please respect copyright.PENANABqWiOLdoEr
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 698Please respect copyright.PENANAKOGCGbEW6o
while in return, he nodded.698Please respect copyright.PENANAKvGXq4qyUk
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 698Please respect copyright.PENANA8wT42gHHbS
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."698Please respect copyright.PENANAnTnDShv3WG
I didn't say a word as I698Please respect copyright.PENANAriAgOOmLhP
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my698Please respect copyright.PENANA5MBhJ71meu
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 698Please respect copyright.PENANAD0sUxU3VYL
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 698Please respect copyright.PENANAy0180bKF7K
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.698Please respect copyright.PENANAjHfjxopuTv
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."698Please respect copyright.PENANAuNzwkMhtq6
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."698Please respect copyright.PENANAJws9OFDxvr
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."698Please respect copyright.PENANAvnUOptAB6K
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAsiaRExRmUM
If there was ever a way I698Please respect copyright.PENANAW8shpCcGb3
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 698Please respect copyright.PENANA4bWJ6ixiot
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 698Please respect copyright.PENANAEOrTIWOhug
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.698Please respect copyright.PENANA2IuLwBYVhR
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAqDgx7yO2F5
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAOdThd8uyA8
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.698Please respect copyright.PENANAEmyTCXF9uO
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.698Please respect copyright.PENANAZ69h7AbCls
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANA96v2OuepNY
"Well, I'm just asking,"698Please respect copyright.PENANAbvI0INM3tg
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,698Please respect copyright.PENANA87bPAGCUPS
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."698Please respect copyright.PENANAv7bx3q4pqb
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.698Please respect copyright.PENANASZgdbPK3cf
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.698Please respect copyright.PENANAMTMMN9iti5
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.698Please respect copyright.PENANABkHZt72Njy
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.698Please respect copyright.PENANAcUrepQ9Ohk
I pressed the button 698Please respect copyright.PENANASedGXjAg4U
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 698Please respect copyright.PENANAQWdddq0yFd
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 698Please respect copyright.PENANARwGDjtNS0u
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.698Please respect copyright.PENANAUu9QBBORoR
We went to the main 698Please respect copyright.PENANA37p05tjeTF
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for698Please respect copyright.PENANAPwY4CKVugB
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 698Please respect copyright.PENANAwDFMHUR4Ep
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.698Please respect copyright.PENANAcoUb7Ptkpn
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.698Please respect copyright.PENANAnl7z1gtOUg
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 698Please respect copyright.PENANATcLgM8OZyC
"To be honest, we just 698Please respect copyright.PENANAOQPLYEdyf2
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAoYmxq4N5IS
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."698Please respect copyright.PENANA6ImQ7uEUP5
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.698Please respect copyright.PENANAs0gdbluRCl
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.698Please respect copyright.PENANA2xM6LIs8DI
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.698Please respect copyright.PENANAVA5WKN4lPc
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.698Please respect copyright.PENANA4g44FFsyoZ
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.698Please respect copyright.PENANAmRzL2TslpY
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.698Please respect copyright.PENANAKvyTQmcux6
"Nah, I don't think so,"698Please respect copyright.PENANA7sRoJvex5F
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so698Please respect copyright.PENANAgwLpRE4Pix
he would be treating me like that."698Please respect copyright.PENANA6mKFqb7ACc
"Mmm, I don't think so,"698Please respect copyright.PENANAGhuZ5m5NaA
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 698Please respect copyright.PENANAlutPIJt6RZ
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"698Please respect copyright.PENANADEf6AOTlaw
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."698Please respect copyright.PENANAcKWKTQ9IHM
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.698Please respect copyright.PENANA4oXYgjVgMN
"Then, stop trying to make one."698Please respect copyright.PENANAdmbUN4vLqB
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."698Please respect copyright.PENANANtwZLTSy3J
"Ya, me too," said Mike.698Please respect copyright.PENANAmYuOQjZ5p2
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.698Please respect copyright.PENANAck5HMYyfa9
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAExQ6BowV2Y
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.698Please respect copyright.PENANAog99aUFWZe
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."698Please respect copyright.PENANAH7nc7kwQoL
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAg7SL7deFhi
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.698Please respect copyright.PENANAskRzjpP0W6
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."698Please respect copyright.PENANAJrmTyUNdsE
I didn't even dare try 698Please respect copyright.PENANAB33eUXc1LQ
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 698Please respect copyright.PENANA4JUjYbrwxn
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.698Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sp5wP4WeG
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAQXPhEri63z
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAzuf1DVlFrB
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.698Please respect copyright.PENANApOpuyHALts
I heard footsteps coming698Please respect copyright.PENANAiVzd69C4FZ
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 698Please respect copyright.PENANAQy8kiVspAy
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 698Please respect copyright.PENANAv9joHiUDII
look at me.698Please respect copyright.PENANAX3Hr8tiAMs
"Are you okay?" he whispered.698Please respect copyright.PENANAeT1aNd3klQ
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.698Please respect copyright.PENANAd6zEEdZ8TI
I soon felt strong hands698Please respect copyright.PENANA2i4ZIUMpE6
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD698Please respect copyright.PENANAEvCR2dXjyV
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.698Please respect copyright.PENANAC7I1FNV4lg
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"698Please respect copyright.PENANArGzwsYSHdJ
"I'm a whole lot better,698Please respect copyright.PENANAWGUn2ypzPd
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 698Please respect copyright.PENANAK7pvaLYHSU
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.698Please respect copyright.PENANAcr3CyjM3v2
"Glad to hear that."698Please respect copyright.PENANAkMBJwOJ2fC
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.698Please respect copyright.PENANAuLnMV7gdir
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."698Please respect copyright.PENANAlScY80fv3r
I was planning not to 698Please respect copyright.PENANAf8OG5p9kox
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 698Please respect copyright.PENANA3RIiRlakpX
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 698Please respect copyright.PENANAOX0pQY2cQz
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to698Please respect copyright.PENANAWCHFfTEZ8W
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 698Please respect copyright.PENANAYosvCX2hSs
under the bridge.698Please respect copyright.PENANAadotVNxSO7
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."698Please respect copyright.PENANAQbaqGd3SXT
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAFd8d8Mfgfw
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."698Please respect copyright.PENANAWo1xQ3Kj2D
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."698Please respect copyright.PENANAUEe4iAGPn3
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.698Please respect copyright.PENANAGaVZYw9Ulj
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.698Please respect copyright.PENANAUBpxHDQyg3
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANADzSKXjvYhf
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."698Please respect copyright.PENANAX5ACePojEC
The waiters soon came 698Please respect copyright.PENANA9cwGhRxklc
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.698Please respect copyright.PENANAoQyu4WEO7V
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 698Please respect copyright.PENANATcLn1bOaei
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 698Please respect copyright.PENANAB8K8Q9sWMq
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.698Please respect copyright.PENANAUQs8Ll8lR5
For a moment, I felt 698Please respect copyright.PENANAPn0e93nKEt
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAW6ImYcAfzi
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 698Please respect copyright.PENANAg8Z7fh5QwC
me to forget that I was ever mad.698Please respect copyright.PENANAb9K9uel2YZ
"Mmm, this is so 698Please respect copyright.PENANAOyRLs4WHKg
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 698Please respect copyright.PENANAIMFm4msc1q
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."698Please respect copyright.PENANAiCNWowg3Ri
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."698Please respect copyright.PENANAzKzv9YeKBr
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."698Please respect copyright.PENANAg0wiUOxbWl
"Anything for you, Sam,"698Please respect copyright.PENANAuNp0aZAngz
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 698Please respect copyright.PENANAMKsuI03brg
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."698Please respect copyright.PENANAcImfNasoWk
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAHE4zF5A6z7
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.698Please respect copyright.PENANA1nqWuVjn31
I had just taken in some698Please respect copyright.PENANAHAEUhEI3Dk
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 698Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1iZr1GZdh
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly698Please respect copyright.PENANAxVB4pQ5tzm
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 698Please respect copyright.PENANA2f9OOS8z7L
just said.698Please respect copyright.PENANAEzvOiz55tb
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANACo3MJJp8l5
"Well, ya," Christine 698Please respect copyright.PENANAHFiJLyctl4
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 698Please respect copyright.PENANAm5g0hnESX8
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 698Please respect copyright.PENANA6MAODxxYY6
special lunch to lighten your mood."698Please respect copyright.PENANAuJe17rNIVs
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.698Please respect copyright.PENANA3wm1hhhZC9
"Thanks for the lunch, 698Please respect copyright.PENANAZncJXyPoPs
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so698Please respect copyright.PENANA3bIGWIm35M
sweet of you to have come up with this."698Please respect copyright.PENANAME8vIgzPvW
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.698Please respect copyright.PENANA1R6CXS5y32
I almost felt like 698Please respect copyright.PENANAlmqWLaVSle
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 698Please respect copyright.PENANAFDctSzu8S7
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare698Please respect copyright.PENANAZwS2z9vx4S
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 698Please respect copyright.PENANA2MvHYI2z7I
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 698Please respect copyright.PENANAwSmSxgfH57
turning into rage?698Please respect copyright.PENANAgjWnOeUIey
Oh, goodness. I needed 698Please respect copyright.PENANAq9Xggo34rN
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 698Please respect copyright.PENANAt2kMgDi0zh
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 698Please respect copyright.PENANA2XlNO1zVBA
I tried to push aside 698Please respect copyright.PENANAhKFJuIrpK6
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 698Please respect copyright.PENANA0v0Ack8oef
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 698Please respect copyright.PENANAv7ADpa7QHM
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 698Please respect copyright.PENANARICb9i4nW7
chocolate moussé.698Please respect copyright.PENANABsYn8sf4cE
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,698Please respect copyright.PENANA6ChAbBPYxP
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 698Please respect copyright.PENANAzqjkmmTNPh
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.698Please respect copyright.PENANAFcFdb09GgL
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.698Please respect copyright.PENANApTz67rlifh
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."698Please respect copyright.PENANATI0Fyd4d35
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.698Please respect copyright.PENANA3fBIKIGiRO
I didn't wait for 698Please respect copyright.PENANAwXIjgApxp1
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I698Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7YNTocOU2
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed698Please respect copyright.PENANAxHCcDfTpkf
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 698Please respect copyright.PENANAhWZOVzhaJ9
heaven.698Please respect copyright.PENANAlNkbd1Quwx
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.698Please respect copyright.PENANAB51HROvLA2
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."698Please respect copyright.PENANA6vxjuVOVXH
"I don't care," I said 698Please respect copyright.PENANAGbKqT4wSdg
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 698Please respect copyright.PENANAcuzJMRGbsO
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."698Please respect copyright.PENANAonmEF6IwSC
G-Dragon smiled back at 698Please respect copyright.PENANAdPIkivrEqq
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 698Please respect copyright.PENANAO2B3wJ0UJB
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 698Please respect copyright.PENANAe9VC7feYMA
away.698Please respect copyright.PENANAeTtyskhelA
After dessert, we all 698Please respect copyright.PENANA8Sxpm7gAZk
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 698Please respect copyright.PENANATlanjDOPIx
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 698Please respect copyright.PENANA8jdxQC10hI
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 698Please respect copyright.PENANABbpYKm4JG0
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 698Please respect copyright.PENANAadpnE4gkJm
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 698Please respect copyright.PENANAe5G0H2NJIT
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.698Please respect copyright.PENANAWSE9SuWkYF
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAFP51sY2phN
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.698Please respect copyright.PENANAHxjrAST76N
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."698Please respect copyright.PENANA6gJzqK6kT3
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.698Please respect copyright.PENANATmeRc2XmYZ
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."698Please respect copyright.PENANAwetZQxkFYL
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."698Please respect copyright.PENANAHdAqdYYLhY
"What stuff?" TOP asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAQwdFjoNxN5
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAC3vFkjdcCT
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."698Please respect copyright.PENANA0pV7Yo4PbX
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.698Please respect copyright.PENANAixHcAq6YlT
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.698Please respect copyright.PENANAIgKIkPGDgt
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.698Please respect copyright.PENANArwzZdfirvx
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.698Please respect copyright.PENANAKaDbDKb6Ar
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."698Please respect copyright.PENANA8eDcsQLG7h
"Wait, what's going on?"698Please respect copyright.PENANA7AtO7Qak5g
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAgD7PN8uG4p
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAMOG1upIyp2
"I thought we should all698Please respect copyright.PENANAiYkbWvTyBm
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 698Please respect copyright.PENANA0eY5PuNMoM
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."698Please respect copyright.PENANAG1ksY5OwwK
"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.698Please respect copyright.PENANAxbEZfdAacf
"I don't know, I feel we698Please respect copyright.PENANAAkTNzofWnu
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.698Please respect copyright.PENANAe9P2AWPYY9
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out698Please respect copyright.PENANAeanhzVilFb
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."698Please respect copyright.PENANAG97RKJ24tM
"I don't get it though,"698Please respect copyright.PENANAzVEBx6yHlF
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 698Please respect copyright.PENANAemCEPMlV7p
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write698Please respect copyright.PENANAM9dcjh9DLa
the lyrics?"698Please respect copyright.PENANA0Qm4fe44gr
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.698Please respect copyright.PENANAupmS3GMAi6
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAvjsPyxuRzM
This time, I also raised698Please respect copyright.PENANAZGwU7P8ozp
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 698Please respect copyright.PENANA4SYw0FyWeZ
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.698Please respect copyright.PENANAaqzBT1Kihb
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAgUrjOZufuW
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.698Please respect copyright.PENANAf0cw4SI2EY
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.698Please respect copyright.PENANAk42mFbZ0j7
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAVO804tu3Ed
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."698Please respect copyright.PENANAet04RvVmE9
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"698Please respect copyright.PENANAYcbSoxU8N5
By the way G-Dragon 698Please respect copyright.PENANAFEVlwrCyp2
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 698Please respect copyright.PENANAUeg8d0W2c4
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And698Please respect copyright.PENANA3udtUtlYn4
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of698Please respect copyright.PENANAsH8svwxpNT
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.698Please respect copyright.PENANAPYiAIGrMlX
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."698Please respect copyright.PENANADg9yasMm2E
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"698Please respect copyright.PENANA1wJ5XAipOm
"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."698Please respect copyright.PENANAhgnDBFg2eJ
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.698Please respect copyright.PENANAWMz7hTioCc
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAePCAFsCqh2
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.698Please respect copyright.PENANAy9rp8ZJZvi
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."698Please respect copyright.PENANAZF2vc5BIv2
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."698Please respect copyright.PENANArsGvO6Y8kz
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."698Please respect copyright.PENANAnlEQSKuxeA
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."698Please respect copyright.PENANAiBXGvf3jVG
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."698Please respect copyright.PENANAuaWsUERmCD
"What truth?" I asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAB1Bexv0Bq9
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."698Please respect copyright.PENANAQRtqlt7lkV
Taeyang was right. I was698Please respect copyright.PENANASYWhDDreha
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 698Please respect copyright.PENANANovf7bJgY5
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 698Please respect copyright.PENANAijrMKj06xr
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 698Please respect copyright.PENANAlJKekEfmIY
attention.698Please respect copyright.PENANAuzoPi7fdJ2
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."698Please respect copyright.PENANAaNNaMzlcpr
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."698Please respect copyright.PENANAoAF4v2qubu
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel698Please respect copyright.PENANA0uiUPoxvNB
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 698Please respect copyright.PENANAV124imgw7F
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!698Please respect copyright.PENANAGPGT9LypKS
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.698Please respect copyright.PENANAtNpzeQhHer
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.698Please respect copyright.PENANAhYA1XB5SzB
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.698Please respect copyright.PENANARr1OluLcSU
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.698Please respect copyright.PENANA6sk2cvjO2T
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.698Please respect copyright.PENANAFpogOTC1mt
"But I....." 698Please respect copyright.PENANATNAf2x5CtS
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 698Please respect copyright.PENANA9jZuLRl0g6
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've698Please respect copyright.PENANA8p9S4TjWTC
talked way too much, don't you think?"698Please respect copyright.PENANACudM0FXzY3
That felt like a slap in698Please respect copyright.PENANAokHFtYlbZe
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 698Please respect copyright.PENANArlG4lvAgrJ
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 698Please respect copyright.PENANAIrVTWo07in
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 698Please respect copyright.PENANAU7zFqlH8xn
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 698Please respect copyright.PENANAPX51hUHfmO
about what I thought was best for the whole group?698Please respect copyright.PENANALiOaOClEaq
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.698Please respect copyright.PENANA28XktfI5v8
"That's fine with me," said Mike.698Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ9MKKjFFq
Everyone else agreed, 698Please respect copyright.PENANAkz4QuYnXlQ
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 698Please respect copyright.PENANAPLT1jSxY6k
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 698Please respect copyright.PENANAQkRe2vgZVp
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 698Please respect copyright.PENANA8ebksXIqw8
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 698Please respect copyright.PENANAzxfiFjXVWE
B, just in case.698Please respect copyright.PENANABh4gXiUGva
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.698Please respect copyright.PENANAKDVg1csJqN
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.698Please respect copyright.PENANAiB5C0VmjIV
"Not now, Sam. We will 698Please respect copyright.PENANA5b1Z7rYJ7g
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 698Please respect copyright.PENANAKluVJuzGrZ
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 698Please respect copyright.PENANAkN5fUBNprX
gave me goosebumps.698Please respect copyright.PENANAz8ELZaIkxR
"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."698Please respect copyright.PENANAC4IEnddK1K
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 698Please respect copyright.PENANAR59MhGWZBl
One by one everyone 698Please respect copyright.PENANAQqhZbD8udw
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 698Please respect copyright.PENANAridNojrSq4
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem698Please respect copyright.PENANABNml3FAsc2
appropriate.698Please respect copyright.PENANAW9mSLdW3jt
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.698Please respect copyright.PENANA916C11dMmj
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.698Please respect copyright.PENANAYtEtCvxauB
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.698Please respect copyright.PENANAmcrmZxoV4U
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.698Please respect copyright.PENANATPRKxkxBOC
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."698Please respect copyright.PENANAydYvQd6pus
"It's not that. I pissed698Please respect copyright.PENANACilTZnTRTH
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take698Please respect copyright.PENANAi3D3EFSR1M
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."698Please respect copyright.PENANA4nq9rsFDWa
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."698Please respect copyright.PENANA81C4Cp2oQX
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."698Please respect copyright.PENANA4E3VqZEOov
Taeyang placed his hand 698Please respect copyright.PENANAM5QjaE15C1
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He698Please respect copyright.PENANAu7izxApftv
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.698Please respect copyright.PENANA1h3gmAgT3L
I knew I had to hope for698Please respect copyright.PENANAryAtbPnypF
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut698Please respect copyright.PENANAv4fqW8ALKv
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 698Please respect copyright.PENANAxlcKWLJYqS
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 698Please respect copyright.PENANAqSWoVNOgXM
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 698Please respect copyright.PENANAlIheq5XWCs
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
