The water felt like a 700Please respect copyright.PENANA8wR0nu0Idd
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 700Please respect copyright.PENANADQgQwOhtgg
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 700Please respect copyright.PENANASwCDKjRwKb
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 700Please respect copyright.PENANArywNDMSh5E
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAO9a3IDlfcJ
breathe. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHf21Xn5jEE
I pushed myself upwards 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFGEGKDPuZQ
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of700Please respect copyright.PENANApT1iZOsFx5
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXRpSKqRT1v
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 700Please respect copyright.PENANA9RHLVWJtom
edge.700Please respect copyright.PENANANGkA5GnunO
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.700Please respect copyright.PENANAucFY5eU3xI
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.700Please respect copyright.PENANA01yMg7dbSz
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVbWbKXNiCt
I looked ridiculously 700Please respect copyright.PENANA12LCRwNiXC
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2MyjwkEWVb
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 700Please respect copyright.PENANAt9pAHRDo3Y
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 700Please respect copyright.PENANAUCNetBZIfb
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7JmA86w1LO
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.700Please respect copyright.PENANA4P89GWyeOE
I looked around me and 700Please respect copyright.PENANAzsC15BUZke
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAdJc3smH8pk
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAP15ywfcO4F
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 700Please respect copyright.PENANADqVY3u7hw0
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.700Please respect copyright.PENANAvotFU1jZ8D
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."700Please respect copyright.PENANAWzsuqTG51b
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."700Please respect copyright.PENANAgGZuYrSP6r
I heard Zoey and the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAG6DbkXElno
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on700Please respect copyright.PENANABprJ2OsNIm
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.700Please respect copyright.PENANAS9tmbHB7Bc
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 700Please respect copyright.PENANALYKYNb4Qot
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's700Please respect copyright.PENANAavm323yAtz
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 700Please respect copyright.PENANAn8nwwWV9Ey
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."700Please respect copyright.PENANACXkT5AJhji
"I already told you, I'm700Please respect copyright.PENANAc98Ftsezhf
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I700Please respect copyright.PENANAcx4ManuJGw
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 700Please respect copyright.PENANAg9ZwyOgHen
from anyone.700Please respect copyright.PENANAAp1JXPMmoU
I made my way towards GD700Please respect copyright.PENANAnrk93z6Ho0
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what700Please respect copyright.PENANAyG6howZEMf
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 700Please respect copyright.PENANAoUKq0Umthj
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.700Please respect copyright.PENANAQpW2QheZhR
"Oh, man, Sam," said 700Please respect copyright.PENANA8SFU4fC9BC
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 700Please respect copyright.PENANAlqC4rh6V76
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAGs7GrQSuwJ
game. Hope you didn't mind."700Please respect copyright.PENANA6zm3TqabyL
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."700Please respect copyright.PENANA0wZ2KCl2GD
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."700Please respect copyright.PENANALzi5Id8mda
"I told you, our 700Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y6ml6spI7
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeGQ4sVluaa
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFlddbeDs2W
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqIHzRvrmmc
Daesung.700Please respect copyright.PENANAspwaeFKclG
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAt4wz6fXFJ4
I dialled Lee's number 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmPQ3jGbLoj
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 700Please respect copyright.PENANARG97nb9AUg
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 700Please respect copyright.PENANABuDrkn5QH4
They would know soon enough.700Please respect copyright.PENANApB4j7rgJ7b
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.700Please respect copyright.PENANApgINupTTki
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.700Please respect copyright.PENANATiOi4S5bzr
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAx3XVHUufHs
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA7F743mLy8p
"No, not yet. But you 700Please respect copyright.PENANAOIxydaUI0v
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And700Please respect copyright.PENANAaFKySPLiPQ
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."700Please respect copyright.PENANA4EEDEQYC2Z
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."700Please respect copyright.PENANAeXwc2T9AJA
"Okay, I'll be waiting."700Please respect copyright.PENANAhmOBsCVn2N
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfAR8QueR3L
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAUtZopcsir7
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."700Please respect copyright.PENANAq4Zcc9KlwZ
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 700Please respect copyright.PENANA0x56GJ1Nu7
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."700Please respect copyright.PENANAGLZcqh5JZJ
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAKIAPGJaRCG
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."700Please respect copyright.PENANABbBiDF5550
I shook my head. I was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFEXyWjZmWf
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 700Please respect copyright.PENANATQpC8rKVbR
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 700Please respect copyright.PENANAVCPRV5oqpr
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.700Please respect copyright.PENANAw5Bd4ijLyH
After walking a few feet700Please respect copyright.PENANAnVCEj3Mx0X
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 700Please respect copyright.PENANAC6OA3T6P7a
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was700Please respect copyright.PENANAoo4ZQ6fujk
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 700Please respect copyright.PENANACiBN9G2HhQ
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.700Please respect copyright.PENANA33CqnynbDR
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAZPOlYWow9y
None of them answered as700Please respect copyright.PENANAv6AyRZ5WoS
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 700Please respect copyright.PENANASxmJUjRoXH
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5QYJLykQl5
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAt8ibH47Gg8
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzi3QDXBHQO
"I wasn't going to say 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJeOn6UIqdh
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing700Please respect copyright.PENANA4J8jTzPBza
you would want to hear from me is advice."700Please respect copyright.PENANAH29YAmD5xz
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAnhhRZwI5aL
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.700Please respect copyright.PENANAplvxzjcn0e
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."700Please respect copyright.PENANAuYvqJOxKMf
"I'm still upset, though."700Please respect copyright.PENANAPN1jKr4uZR
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."700Please respect copyright.PENANApH2R9W3mxw
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."700Please respect copyright.PENANAcUDKv8c4uu
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."700Please respect copyright.PENANAhCxbeoUXCf
I gave TOP an assuring 700Please respect copyright.PENANAiI9dxER9Mi
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way700Please respect copyright.PENANAUYFiYdV65E
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAN05iWEzHms
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I700Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yu2Uggl5J
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't700Please respect copyright.PENANA0oEEgVIJXt
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 700Please respect copyright.PENANAzyd7pvvRl5
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfd3j3olqHH
We all found ourselves 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqFUYYiMZrO
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins700Please respect copyright.PENANAXJfn9FAsW7
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 700Please respect copyright.PENANASXfAnJQpim
were waiting for me. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAr9k6W9kq4x
"Hey, Sam, you don't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAypSDPZRln0
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 700Please respect copyright.PENANAOsd4LWezm2
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.700Please respect copyright.PENANAiTuHSToeA2
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."700Please respect copyright.PENANAOJoOMG6qNo
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 700Please respect copyright.PENANAsWAZ5KXiEb
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 700Please respect copyright.PENANActOpo7VM6U
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch700Please respect copyright.PENANAx7sy3BkV5i
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAdNSiZnfIb4
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.700Please respect copyright.PENANADwHX4J6frr
I had my eyes closed 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbsAZUb9Wq7
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found700Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZOaw7tO9q
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAG21vF1wkmg
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."700Please respect copyright.PENANA8tIAYSRi1G
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.700Please respect copyright.PENANAB9JtDzjQ41
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."700Please respect copyright.PENANAroePHk78hj
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."700Please respect copyright.PENANABlrRRqLiqF
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."700Please respect copyright.PENANApv9NHXJTZO
Taeyang led me to his 700Please respect copyright.PENANAMcm8ERVLYk
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 700Please respect copyright.PENANAW2wbMVRheW
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 700Please respect copyright.PENANAAmNTfBgQ9i
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.700Please respect copyright.PENANAFSKx0x1MpF
In about thirty minutes,700Please respect copyright.PENANA9L0GhWt5Ov
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKU8wptP8yz
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAm6sWvd1KZK
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqG27hrkwop
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2rf7CVi0fq
appeared out of the elevator.700Please respect copyright.PENANA8bjbplSzgI
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA9YgknwfGou
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.700Please respect copyright.PENANAY4uiIg5z39
Lee who stood behind 700Please respect copyright.PENANABEt9gz4qnQ
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 700Please respect copyright.PENANAVUfVNNdizW
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 700Please respect copyright.PENANANLSot2qpV1
other things in mind.700Please respect copyright.PENANA5yalFC5uzg
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAqMVxtbuZyl
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFbwN7QPxiw
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 700Please respect copyright.PENANAiYjukNaoP6
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.700Please respect copyright.PENANAWY4sfljpDL
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANA78nIEzkK2B
"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."700Please respect copyright.PENANANGdEWyEqDu
There was an awkward 700Please respect copyright.PENANAIkROGwiCzm
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,700Please respect copyright.PENANAp2rL7tfYJ2
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.700Please respect copyright.PENANA42CXYKdvV4
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAEzfSQljHRn
"Well, I hear the press 700Please respect copyright.PENANA94PosaAp4h
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon700Please respect copyright.PENANAEnQSvCQVII
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."700Please respect copyright.PENANAqYTZhzRQnY
"That won't be 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHbEKOgviwx
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 700Please respect copyright.PENANAkYEFr1vR2f
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to700Please respect copyright.PENANAC9O0wnT7rI
go to the press looking all wet."700Please respect copyright.PENANAaXsH6lzRFB
I breathed out a sigh of700Please respect copyright.PENANAOInYEPmLWU
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 700Please respect copyright.PENANAVlypdvLXHP
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.700Please respect copyright.PENANAWmSmcAM4h6
"In the meantime, you go700Please respect copyright.PENANAxK7rhV4dQv
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxlf5orHvcg
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."700Please respect copyright.PENANAPkNecXbtfR
I nodded my head in 700Please respect copyright.PENANAAZrZxUC1m9
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAWoVeuxryOB
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdITsVf6wuY
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.700Please respect copyright.PENANATKou4eYQrK
"Alright," I said 700Please respect copyright.PENANACg8tCHgfIs
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhHPeQnKxs5
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like700Please respect copyright.PENANAw85X1NL6bL
I was only making things worse.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnFrTuhuigN
Before I turned to leave700Please respect copyright.PENANA2m7CWJjyUf
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQuH7bTewzw
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 700Please respect copyright.PENANAEOUfNIjtGl
one.700Please respect copyright.PENANADLJtxNdWJe
***700Please respect copyright.PENANAoic6YDx2Bq
I sat on the couch all 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZPpCwPmZUp
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued700Please respect copyright.PENANAqundb3szhA
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"700Please respect copyright.PENANAXFAtXfQtaX
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAw1NNRDGRLZ
I had a box of paper 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5JRoGFf9w
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my700Please respect copyright.PENANAhVNRY5ERXH
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwnFVX31Nt1
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.700Please respect copyright.PENANAvZoGIclioT
I continued watching the700Please respect copyright.PENANAtpisgQhU7N
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 700Please respect copyright.PENANAdVPHJQY7fH
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAsTk8hZqkom
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.700Please respect copyright.PENANArhtXMFIseZ
"Never better," I said, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKaSuC16F9Q
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 700Please respect copyright.PENANA3KNbFTq7aZ
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."700Please respect copyright.PENANAze1FjuP8B7
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.700Please respect copyright.PENANAV2MOB70cyE
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.700Please respect copyright.PENANAhPZxO3hxiC
"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.700Please respect copyright.PENANA3l9gO6QKo4
"And the others?" 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjz3ssjAO5c
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.700Please respect copyright.PENANAa1Fhf0cCNT
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.700Please respect copyright.PENANAsRBM93EXpw
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ6TXQaRU8
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.700Please respect copyright.PENANADY6WzPeCVs
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.700Please respect copyright.PENANAH1tOwP6ca2
"You don't know or you are?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAadagZdowBv
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.700Please respect copyright.PENANAxKJSx68eVR
"I don't know, Tae," I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAF2luETAp76
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 700Please respect copyright.PENANAF19T2wnSfX
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbXSs32XUhr
forget all that happened yesterday."700Please respect copyright.PENANATihsDK2SQL
"Ya, I understand. They 700Please respect copyright.PENANAVRS4EDcWFO
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKVytSde5Xw
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were700Please respect copyright.PENANAz9NeCUm7D3
going to get."700Please respect copyright.PENANAPOlkrq3Cj8
I looked on at Taeyang 700Please respect copyright.PENANA6GRsvC8Kwg
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 700Please respect copyright.PENANALQ4G9zXtDR
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 700Please respect copyright.PENANAAflKhm8443
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 700Please respect copyright.PENANAfdRgJ57G4l
who was as tough as nails.700Please respect copyright.PENANAARlL7nt9CH
Last night, I took the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwHNmSF3Bqo
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 700Please respect copyright.PENANAccWWDmuPgX
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwjb6sWtcQo
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPbFDojDNWw
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAGATxUfoBcT
Apparently, the managers700Please respect copyright.PENANA0mQsHZy94q
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 700Please respect copyright.PENANA6dVifzCYyZ
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought700Please respect copyright.PENANAE5eZmctaG7
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 700Please respect copyright.PENANAEBWymGPsrE
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHAGUyrpF4W
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 700Please respect copyright.PENANACl29VzPTB7
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 700Please respect copyright.PENANA8i3v0LKZ8r
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 700Please respect copyright.PENANAgmhn3FcX5h
and the reporters.700Please respect copyright.PENANAc4FcpBKjVH
After my confrontation 700Please respect copyright.PENANAlWt934Pmpg
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I700Please respect copyright.PENANA3GbB1dSlB8
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,700Please respect copyright.PENANAWHx9c5MnBc
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.700Please respect copyright.PENANADRtopKDcI6
"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."700Please respect copyright.PENANA9dnYyIiJfr
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.700Please respect copyright.PENANAI3wGea27Oo
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."700Please respect copyright.PENANAnlbtQWQ8fD
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."700Please respect copyright.PENANAjromNnbwhb
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."700Please respect copyright.PENANAYd8JCm7YS4
"Have you tried talking to GD?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAub5KzwBXyp
"To be honest, I haven't700Please respect copyright.PENANACR6QWHbwGc
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 700Please respect copyright.PENANAg4agwFesni
slap him in the face if I see him."700Please respect copyright.PENANAcJaI8VBaQU
"I don't doubt that."700Please respect copyright.PENANA4DqPSkDMXE
"And thank goodness my 700Please respect copyright.PENANAU8Ox64WfHz
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5M7IrA9Nxz
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I700Please respect copyright.PENANAu4YVeuxVbw
want to do is watch some TV."700Please respect copyright.PENANAb2AwS5APk5
I quickly drank my 700Please respect copyright.PENANAWeVhnDoRsq
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJEh2nJh06A
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQgKQxTRgaL
to.700Please respect copyright.PENANANavV7HrlxX
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.700Please respect copyright.PENANAKA143ti1pb
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmhvqRrW5dz
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAMVm8vS3nXR
"Nope."700Please respect copyright.PENANArbN73GBpGI
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.700Please respect copyright.PENANAHKIswMvIap
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANA6SOxOnUkhC
Taeyang didn't say 700Please respect copyright.PENANALfVaL3UwK6
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened700Please respect copyright.PENANA831FWOJuAJ
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."700Please respect copyright.PENANAnrCrlc4VIR
"I know you fought or 700Please respect copyright.PENANA8SgUZiCHHu
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAS7vxCPwCR3
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."700Please respect copyright.PENANALSyziGhcKF
I noticed Taeyang smile 700Please respect copyright.PENANA6nlR5IGZ5q
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1xgFkwj2Kp
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHHMH8gdVFd
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.700Please respect copyright.PENANAr1Bd9h9tjp
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.700Please respect copyright.PENANA2KHhU0NKBr
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."700Please respect copyright.PENANACCZdtLIaUa
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?700Please respect copyright.PENANA1Tr2cWH6ww
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.700Please respect copyright.PENANA8gz35WkQ9y
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."700Please respect copyright.PENANA340JzQbE9C
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."700Please respect copyright.PENANA4j1Kigxufm
Before I could finish my700Please respect copyright.PENANAzTZdv9CiPT
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 700Please respect copyright.PENANAOKWya7cUZQ
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.700Please respect copyright.PENANAu7iNYCl9Hw
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.700Please respect copyright.PENANA7LG5TB29up
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.700Please respect copyright.PENANAeDzO45SRoB
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."700Please respect copyright.PENANAmyiJgkFy6H
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."700Please respect copyright.PENANA4CXw99D86P
"Yep, cheers to that." 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZXzTIYQ7HX
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAqwF3zhQX2U
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.700Please respect copyright.PENANAktcLh97lvB
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAQAt5a25nGd
"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."700Please respect copyright.PENANAmhxAoys5V8
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."700Please respect copyright.PENANAxzZr7YoLQo
"Wow, that sounds personal."700Please respect copyright.PENANAHDugiyhjaa
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."700Please respect copyright.PENANAsBAZ1eBNpD
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAAqBgc0IB1J
"I think I've a better 700Please respect copyright.PENANATbmv9ekK0J
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 700Please respect copyright.PENANA9dYGrA8mZQ
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8GPmUg6rq
lyrics. It's better that way."700Please respect copyright.PENANAv9XNacns5t
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA5nk0stCs36
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."700Please respect copyright.PENANAIfRnOXfjYB
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."700Please respect copyright.PENANAFejQMV6Pzj
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."700Please respect copyright.PENANAOjMZRhyLro
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."700Please respect copyright.PENANAt9qh5EtAHv
"Haha, good point."700Please respect copyright.PENANAhjRNA02XIO
Taeyang and I continued 700Please respect copyright.PENANAin09vkEkAv
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPvLCVjNq0M
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeMNWBuetIu
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we700Please respect copyright.PENANA50mwpzkpZb
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKklHVpmAuY
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 700Please respect copyright.PENANAOIpqeJfhio
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 700Please respect copyright.PENANAIM89fWBdQ5
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 700Please respect copyright.PENANAdMHIJGXvK6
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.700Please respect copyright.PENANAHR2AKr80GG
While the two of us were700Please respect copyright.PENANAtPWLbSBFBP
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,700Please respect copyright.PENANAigLtifuyzw
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 700Please respect copyright.PENANA51z51QZFkL
I quickly went over to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAECG3FXclpm
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was700Please respect copyright.PENANAXnfILuFnkD
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung700Please respect copyright.PENANA2FOWfX7baS
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could700Please respect copyright.PENANA3SgN6hkrGI
come up and I put the receiver down.700Please respect copyright.PENANA6dDX7bIwEY
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."700Please respect copyright.PENANAXuxh1HcqsB
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."700Please respect copyright.PENANAUngIaQP2uD
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."700Please respect copyright.PENANArYkrqEF66F
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.700Please respect copyright.PENANAarLGBhJCN7
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.700Please respect copyright.PENANAeRj7GogybB
"Eww, that pillow 700Please respect copyright.PENANArUNBoysKyy
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4NwkNVyrwt
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.700Please respect copyright.PENANAWfo2jPkqDx
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.700Please respect copyright.PENANAgMW4dq11fd
A few seconds later, we 700Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q02OGjLq3
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 700Please respect copyright.PENANALt8Fg7iAk5
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 700Please respect copyright.PENANA0DT93iKift
holding a box of chocolates.700Please respect copyright.PENANAaCRD2wH2tP
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.700Please respect copyright.PENANARtCr81UIBr
"Ah, no, the panda is a 700Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vh52eZ2pc
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 700Please respect copyright.PENANAuGkXk0axsH
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAAHDYr7O8gP
same time.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdBTdGDrdt6
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."700Please respect copyright.PENANAJjaP9Cnf0V
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.700Please respect copyright.PENANArUT5QiXDjR
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAtyThlx1x9r
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."700Please respect copyright.PENANAQvmT8pPSeh
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmVtKQd0ZcS
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.700Please respect copyright.PENANA7o3rHDN8po
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."700Please respect copyright.PENANA8rnX4AIezn
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.700Please respect copyright.PENANAlgP7LJC6fU
"For goodness sake, I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZjn0WBMOrX
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHCgdwqOWF6
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7tK9bJtsP8
scared with me."700Please respect copyright.PENANAYhPSHjhqHJ
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.700Please respect copyright.PENANAiVT13Yne70
I took the panda in my 700Please respect copyright.PENANANMqMlHsyRM
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 700Please respect copyright.PENANAlYRgYrqKjZ
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 700Please respect copyright.PENANAca4B0YxEet
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPWSRHOIcXQ
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.700Please respect copyright.PENANAaHx8blTkv7
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."700Please respect copyright.PENANAvhdMcNW103
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."700Please respect copyright.PENANA0MMrzD8bL3
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA2NpXpTzzHC
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.700Please respect copyright.PENANARg5CrHD66G
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."700Please respect copyright.PENANAUDXiVMU4mn
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I700Please respect copyright.PENANAQpChpzfBuc
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 700Please respect copyright.PENANASLVDAFopY1
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHnJ2r1FwTG
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."700Please respect copyright.PENANAvKsvJv8RWA
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."700Please respect copyright.PENANAOCQHG7bP7m
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."700Please respect copyright.PENANAS6SxG79nf0
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.700Please respect copyright.PENANAb3GuB9R1MB
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."700Please respect copyright.PENANAxgkV9CFcn2
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.700Please respect copyright.PENANADqnVPN9qv7
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."700Please respect copyright.PENANAZgOvcv5qDf
"Ya, I do."700Please respect copyright.PENANAXOCwrvPfdk
While the four of us 700Please respect copyright.PENANACDSVC2J94i
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZg5XoGbkpL
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANACGVyAcvA7T
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 700Please respect copyright.PENANAb5QLq1Sdew
said:700Please respect copyright.PENANAMJMCiL1f0I
"Hey, Zoey." 700Please respect copyright.PENANAuDtpWg9iYB
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmekUFKcfCp
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."700Please respect copyright.PENANA9kraGFB6rK
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.700Please respect copyright.PENANAv7dXyClgH4
"It's good you came to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAtbE2Hmnc8b
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAw2CGLrqVj9
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJnpFSYMwwp
couch.700Please respect copyright.PENANAeaQAS10F6a
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"700Please respect copyright.PENANANrnENfcocl
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"700Please respect copyright.PENANAULGyymK0rC
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfDq9C98sao
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmG7d38luPc
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.700Please respect copyright.PENANAraUupazsaH
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.700Please respect copyright.PENANAy8bsxIwkEw
I tugged at my panda's 700Please respect copyright.PENANARL2OrnFhi4
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it700Please respect copyright.PENANA3FawX4uVPO
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking700Please respect copyright.PENANAkczSCP9e5t
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYRDLsFelUR
The Toxins came back to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhELJfKyCnQ
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held700Please respect copyright.PENANAiSRweXhATh
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine700Please respect copyright.PENANAnUlfkBSCTc
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.700Please respect copyright.PENANAlpOr262pIK
For a moment, no one 700Please respect copyright.PENANAoW8gcpSxan
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 700Please respect copyright.PENANALoleVgTrVq
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzSVhWyXe8Y
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.700Please respect copyright.PENANAMGueGXobnS
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKtyDK2RrwT
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzmgg4AqAyf
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."700Please respect copyright.PENANANeeaGCZXDt
I stared up at the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPkohN7KgYG
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 700Please respect copyright.PENANAr898zKdiA4
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.700Please respect copyright.PENANAssBjnWWl50
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."700Please respect copyright.PENANAywHWSH15hO
When Zoey tried to reach700Please respect copyright.PENANAJfzet8Ory6
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAq7BEcQiHrv
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.700Please respect copyright.PENANASSEqxSlaUT
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.700Please respect copyright.PENANAPiSFEG3fs0
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.700Please respect copyright.PENANADTpBwwPyCT
Zoey looked hurt with 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFFP0ki4ohS
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvNDhsfltmf
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.700Please respect copyright.PENANAMfmmVrGqBR
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANACb0R29MemK
I didn't answer as I put700Please respect copyright.PENANAPYlKfrPzdN
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I700Please respect copyright.PENANAXrsJh0tnwp
was still mad, especially at Zoey.700Please respect copyright.PENANABIGUBEANuk
"I know it's a little 700Please respect copyright.PENANAcXajQZuhtu
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvlCW1rRUFR
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 700Please respect copyright.PENANAVDCrwqiitz
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPSJOx8GM78
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5r5kY0rxHq
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 700Please respect copyright.PENANAX4W6Iqpfh3
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."700Please respect copyright.PENANAlfWI1TXlXv
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.700Please respect copyright.PENANAagpqNdil8b
"I don't like it when 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5DTY6LaHtD
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1dH9l3rZf3
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 700Please respect copyright.PENANAUxwVfBgzjs
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwurfu1Vrmb
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 700Please respect copyright.PENANASg8m3TAJP4
sorry, Sam."700Please respect copyright.PENANAhoF4o3IIpb
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."700Please respect copyright.PENANApaHjzpZUko
"I'm sorry too," said 700Please respect copyright.PENANAz1zp3DOdbF
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 700Please respect copyright.PENANACH3EhNSYjw
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 700Please respect copyright.PENANA3GeZHOdtNv
for you to talk to us again."700Please respect copyright.PENANAyBuVsg8mdB
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbMdSscJ1aa
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyXPLFnK0jf
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbtVrIrZV0W
leader."700Please respect copyright.PENANAUQIhSInPGM
I still didn't say a 700Please respect copyright.PENANAzDBhQEtRuu
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2sXef1Hixj
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvRZubnddLa
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZcTQso2vP
them despite the awful things they put me through.700Please respect copyright.PENANAOvw6Z6c2Qy
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 700Please respect copyright.PENANA6JxB1cDz86
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."700Please respect copyright.PENANAuNvbPf1nxi
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.700Please respect copyright.PENANALw9TWeLgJV
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.700Please respect copyright.PENANAZE8pEF0bK4
"I'm mad and pretty much700Please respect copyright.PENANAqsClOibfHV
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJFaZuVtmxa
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."700Please respect copyright.PENANAKXXWde2svU
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAHRNvZAoYsQ
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."700Please respect copyright.PENANAiLRj1n16wa
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.700Please respect copyright.PENANATY6hRELyre
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 700Please respect copyright.PENANA8NqDotn8UK
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 700Please respect copyright.PENANA6hqVP3vDXk
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."700Please respect copyright.PENANADOrYzWQqJH
"Ah, you! Always acting 700Please respect copyright.PENANAd1R2Rgaa8K
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 700Please respect copyright.PENANAlIJM33oysP
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqTh9M7s1Ly
catch it anyway."700Please respect copyright.PENANAZut2fjld0J
Christine, Daniel and 700Please respect copyright.PENANAEbjbDfi5pP
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAB8oWX2S6wa
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 700Please respect copyright.PENANANztjhc25N3
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.700Please respect copyright.PENANAsYntH6IM17
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.700Please respect copyright.PENANAiDYhU7vD3p
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.700Please respect copyright.PENANAaKgnTTMnk6
"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...."700Please respect copyright.PENANAUuWmtsx5U2
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.700Please respect copyright.PENANASZxxRyz579
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."700Please respect copyright.PENANADmjEYVba31
"Don't worry, you won't 700Please respect copyright.PENANATWQcIVBU1e
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqsXQcBRIH0
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.700Please respect copyright.PENANAZYu0V7LcHd
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.700Please respect copyright.PENANAf6eOourhL5
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.700Please respect copyright.PENANAcj066cKInv
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAIihvqJ3T3n
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."700Please respect copyright.PENANAzhrljMKgt7
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmTmdQv2oLg
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 700Please respect copyright.PENANALegRJOtVN3
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAnmMRUYbCxx
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."700Please respect copyright.PENANAdCh6mXt85i
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.700Please respect copyright.PENANArgdgzYnV0o
At that moment, I had 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZUj3Cr5es1
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.700Please respect copyright.PENANADRfsCsb1t9
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnK24nRQovM
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAd9UIbxWcP8
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.700Please respect copyright.PENANAq6xSxaaq65
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."700Please respect copyright.PENANAQUYYdoHGfy
Zoey got the box of 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2i9AuL3VDb
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKVkA1ogsHm
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.700Please respect copyright.PENANAvwvsb9kfbx
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzls3ce7hUV
I was in the passage as I700Please respect copyright.PENANAIl2eGRZiLF
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 700Please respect copyright.PENANAWFlRDVOoTm
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed700Please respect copyright.PENANAmYYlgwdHqF
in what felt like sadness.700Please respect copyright.PENANAm2KUzQdwQL
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVwl3CqIrUh
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."700Please respect copyright.PENANAWATq43Oi2M
I heard his footsteps 700Please respect copyright.PENANAuSyaFqJYWb
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAnvrCzDyOPy
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.700Please respect copyright.PENANA4ctCGqkHeL
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANA72h7P8WY4A
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAozWAFsrLe6
"Are we really do this right now?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAlym24JV8bV
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXBercbyO4y
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.700Please respect copyright.PENANAZKRPYBfBOi
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANADmJvo3JsGG
"Nope." 700Please respect copyright.PENANAuLvlbaTURG
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."700Please respect copyright.PENANABfeeXBLtSj
My eyes almost felt like700Please respect copyright.PENANAUVDQctJX1i
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 700Please respect copyright.PENANAzzedyhFvDA
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.700Please respect copyright.PENANAlUTVWJMO5u
I turned to look at him 700Please respect copyright.PENANA3WFrIPEV5r
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANADdWdv8a1jU
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.700Please respect copyright.PENANAi62CgfEDmW
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.700Please respect copyright.PENANAhIi3Ih7dAx
"That you're surrounded 700Please respect copyright.PENANAklHT4X9Hal
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 700Please respect copyright.PENANA43e4HBv4GP
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQzJu9aPgeS
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."700Please respect copyright.PENANAYbYs2o14j2
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 700Please respect copyright.PENANAuONmUDZcjy
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."700Please respect copyright.PENANAkKotIYBGrY
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA1VbttQLMop
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."700Please respect copyright.PENANAFmFfiU0VLV
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."700Please respect copyright.PENANAvpJabJU8JP
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAwRloK1QVU5
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."700Please respect copyright.PENANAJETpFhDbXE
Apparently, I couldn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANArkuy14y0mY
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwIj7m70Sp6
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5gfe18CJ4x
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXM6564yXPJ
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZls1pnjLiM
death.700Please respect copyright.PENANAOZBjtKUaN7
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.700Please respect copyright.PENANA9Nf4CAgwHg
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."700Please respect copyright.PENANAJWyJgG3vrx
Taeyang folded his arms 700Please respect copyright.PENANAIJVCMJWP6f
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think700Please respect copyright.PENANA0dgQn4KuIY
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."700Please respect copyright.PENANA3moZyuaKWq
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.700Please respect copyright.PENANADh2mTpBGj4
"You're may think you're700Please respect copyright.PENANAjF7VtKGzao
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 700Please respect copyright.PENANAYzpXe39YMH
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 700Please respect copyright.PENANA3an1MtR1kL
but feeling hurt."700Please respect copyright.PENANArGw0JdznPD
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.700Please respect copyright.PENANANYxlQPFVXx
"But I wouldn't feel 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1zZu2V9SUb
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 700Please respect copyright.PENANAGN4rcZPUc6
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 700Please respect copyright.PENANAU00WuRvtbG
at Taeyang.700Please respect copyright.PENANAAMqLJmUFFw
Taeyang gave me that 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ2TnwNUzs
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmlihYXIyQl
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAGaKgPcgxHf
while in return, he nodded.700Please respect copyright.PENANA4mBLB0mCvX
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxu3mTOZKZv
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."700Please respect copyright.PENANALq8b2IXbRA
I didn't say a word as I700Please respect copyright.PENANA6tzfzHnr6v
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my700Please respect copyright.PENANApcsM7V99sl
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1v6LeNkyCT
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhTAsPmdQwE
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.700Please respect copyright.PENANAS1LeABVp1f
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."700Please respect copyright.PENANAu2Cm35PqRv
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."700Please respect copyright.PENANAiqE2FwRWmB
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."700Please respect copyright.PENANAWji9yfVVO9
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAb9PEA7H5hl
If there was ever a way I700Please respect copyright.PENANA7bnT3tJBzy
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 700Please respect copyright.PENANAq2FlKLCB4u
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 700Please respect copyright.PENANACynuWJel5j
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVjJT7DeOYR
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAYTbUu3PdE4
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zm8P2HiXA
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.700Please respect copyright.PENANAneZJoTydKQ
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdcX4Otrsfs
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAjjvOMwgqwU
"Well, I'm just asking,"700Please respect copyright.PENANAWSx05e6fwo
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,700Please respect copyright.PENANA89Ef1JGKav
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."700Please respect copyright.PENANAHjuPdUckVC
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.700Please respect copyright.PENANAvSKaFRYaPc
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.700Please respect copyright.PENANARxpwQ5UgPA
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.700Please respect copyright.PENANAZKEclP205r
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.700Please respect copyright.PENANAsFHP2FWEFs
I pressed the button 700Please respect copyright.PENANAK22LMfM4ml
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 700Please respect copyright.PENANAG1Tg88Kbt2
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 700Please respect copyright.PENANA52aO1oQoSG
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.700Please respect copyright.PENANAAJRBOX4W4E
We went to the main 700Please respect copyright.PENANAfqjkqObLs4
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for700Please respect copyright.PENANA2ERGcs5DdB
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 700Please respect copyright.PENANAUsEqV12hgq
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.700Please respect copyright.PENANAWg3JSpYxCq
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.700Please respect copyright.PENANAuNR9WQwDWL
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 700Please respect copyright.PENANA294jQ3wpoR
"To be honest, we just 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXFR6jHHhYC
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjC0Pa6Galg
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."700Please respect copyright.PENANAUIxw1VUFXD
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.700Please respect copyright.PENANAl0VNJipkH7
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.700Please respect copyright.PENANA3c4r59O9Rw
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.700Please respect copyright.PENANAH7nn9SnDrv
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.700Please respect copyright.PENANAZTGy56KFBI
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.700Please respect copyright.PENANAeWES4o2duG
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAd9W4oBqTVN
"Nah, I don't think so,"700Please respect copyright.PENANAvvhaUyBBJf
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so700Please respect copyright.PENANAW4dZkZF4Qm
he would be treating me like that."700Please respect copyright.PENANAKPqFhjXWuA
"Mmm, I don't think so,"700Please respect copyright.PENANA0tsfCCZzSq
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAdmu5iEytNt
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"700Please respect copyright.PENANACbPp8LsxvC
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."700Please respect copyright.PENANASpeJm4FpWv
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYjuu4yoOa9
"Then, stop trying to make one."700Please respect copyright.PENANASqK5aJsj7u
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."700Please respect copyright.PENANAGZNn1DErAc
"Ya, me too," said Mike.700Please respect copyright.PENANArCkmZnodel
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.700Please respect copyright.PENANAeGDxPyrPVm
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAogRVGFiXj6
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.700Please respect copyright.PENANAI3EbS8UmZQ
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."700Please respect copyright.PENANAm6Va1IGNcw
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAxjFOpIJNK7
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.700Please respect copyright.PENANAwYNSBfe9Eq
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."700Please respect copyright.PENANA3mSNetYTo2
I didn't even dare try 700Please respect copyright.PENANADx08ptmWyW
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAGn3c1NYkbD
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVrRN7fOLsG
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAR3A8vFSp9n
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAqmSuwwkEnp
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.700Please respect copyright.PENANAeesF443boF
I heard footsteps coming700Please respect copyright.PENANAgTbvdrG6ls
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 700Please respect copyright.PENANArrnTSI4xge
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAkUjFV8UV23
look at me.700Please respect copyright.PENANASlH2VekGMZ
"Are you okay?" he whispered.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfgQ6wxuKEB
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.700Please respect copyright.PENANAwboNCzt1Zm
I soon felt strong hands700Please respect copyright.PENANA80mCMFizqq
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD700Please respect copyright.PENANAHVCbwErQOQ
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.700Please respect copyright.PENANADveKdsQs4G
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAS8xFQ7LLOr
"I'm a whole lot better,700Please respect copyright.PENANAYcnjDWhkdA
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwQM47DfBuZ
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.700Please respect copyright.PENANAH9YqCVsrDx
"Glad to hear that."700Please respect copyright.PENANAW1Gpy8mwCo
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.700Please respect copyright.PENANA26rJIE7RWq
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."700Please respect copyright.PENANAhSKKcNCwcq
I was planning not to 700Please respect copyright.PENANA29w1xu8hXm
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 700Please respect copyright.PENANA060qZLlOTc
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 700Please respect copyright.PENANATfAckIsD89
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to700Please respect copyright.PENANAjC3ZsvNpfu
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 700Please respect copyright.PENANAV0tgv6UWDo
under the bridge.700Please respect copyright.PENANAgArQJAGir1
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."700Please respect copyright.PENANAnT1uHAGJXi
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAhXyOLH9Fl6
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."700Please respect copyright.PENANAlu89zmfqNZ
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."700Please respect copyright.PENANAEarkkBV5SM
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.700Please respect copyright.PENANAvPlqBju7xw
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.700Please respect copyright.PENANAjHeoS5NzUU
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAScDknnDHPp
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."700Please respect copyright.PENANApt18dhzQHq
The waiters soon came 700Please respect copyright.PENANADC2LSA7ctn
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.700Please respect copyright.PENANA8l1LYAJHu8
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 700Please respect copyright.PENANAgpNiuqbyfh
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 700Please respect copyright.PENANAswWrMR0NGx
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.700Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4SS4DAYBq
For a moment, I felt 700Please respect copyright.PENANArYJqGYvwNx
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXIpzOpGzMF
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFSnxpskp8e
me to forget that I was ever mad.700Please respect copyright.PENANATpsKpIH4Hk
"Mmm, this is so 700Please respect copyright.PENANAnTfb3xvpkh
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 700Please respect copyright.PENANATS7gL4hiES
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."700Please respect copyright.PENANAVBQb4LMD9M
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."700Please respect copyright.PENANAMjwyETLgDd
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."700Please respect copyright.PENANAT0UOSBitbf
"Anything for you, Sam,"700Please respect copyright.PENANAwHe39iwsKi
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 700Please respect copyright.PENANADl8tBrHsL6
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."700Please respect copyright.PENANAMDfhVfP6PK
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmYt4XvrQII
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYiw9dEVFXZ
I had just taken in some700Please respect copyright.PENANA4dMaF0t07w
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4yRWpWxGUJ
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly700Please respect copyright.PENANADx71QtXgWS
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 700Please respect copyright.PENANAuad62B9IuE
just said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAxxgyyOVcx4
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAwJpCCvbK8Q
"Well, ya," Christine 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQOK8fwpM6E
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHfO1SxMhM1
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7bTjla5Qtu
special lunch to lighten your mood."700Please respect copyright.PENANADTu05oVdOk
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.700Please respect copyright.PENANAxJvz3lhuK1
"Thanks for the lunch, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAlfeRSx8SFf
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so700Please respect copyright.PENANAGZDObUkRrE
sweet of you to have come up with this."700Please respect copyright.PENANAOSCT7lPt0o
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAZhxqqIXIPD
I almost felt like 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvwOGMT7dEN
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 700Please respect copyright.PENANA65U3x5r57c
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare700Please respect copyright.PENANAjysLN5BgUa
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbXHD5O4RD0
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 700Please respect copyright.PENANAR2O1A4mN0b
turning into rage?700Please respect copyright.PENANARp2mHEJ8fO
Oh, goodness. I needed 700Please respect copyright.PENANApJQCaAnyru
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAgq1U3qa3EM
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 700Please respect copyright.PENANA0TNinDEQR9
I tried to push aside 700Please respect copyright.PENANAu5BBGnY9Pl
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 700Please respect copyright.PENANAzg29DsA6CM
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 700Please respect copyright.PENANAexqLG6kGP4
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6vkbearKr
chocolate moussé.700Please respect copyright.PENANAY3ryyKBWmO
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,700Please respect copyright.PENANARq1lcucb4H
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 700Please respect copyright.PENANAkr5Y4ShKGp
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAOEj2mY3mAA
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYI7iqpmS0T
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."700Please respect copyright.PENANAyKPvvs6F5d
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.700Please respect copyright.PENANAQalKA1to1L
I didn't wait for 700Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ3mPU97zR
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I700Please respect copyright.PENANAafrqq203Tm
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed700Please respect copyright.PENANAMGfreQ0CvH
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 700Please respect copyright.PENANAzFgBqaY8Fz
heaven.700Please respect copyright.PENANANllnL2CrCp
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.700Please respect copyright.PENANAcjycH4OeBs
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."700Please respect copyright.PENANArcm7iv4mxe
"I don't care," I said 700Please respect copyright.PENANA32e2yIjH3w
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1hOVleBgAm
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."700Please respect copyright.PENANAIOC175mPqc
G-Dragon smiled back at 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7JiyI9uhEm
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeoQ0YfghMD
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhaVp7YarRP
away.700Please respect copyright.PENANAiImDAHx5I4
After dessert, we all 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXj8SNuWGAN
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxMhFeoH8j2
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 700Please respect copyright.PENANAlpVQSovgd6
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbZDrZnjFzl
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAt2Eu2Colls
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhwppPCSebv
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzAkvJVEhvm
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAVVVxKrSuZL
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYXiwUtLx3z
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."700Please respect copyright.PENANADDoMrTxPxd
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.700Please respect copyright.PENANALrYPA2sYr3
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."700Please respect copyright.PENANAx6IHGYCBc2
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."700Please respect copyright.PENANA91KtRKqHoG
"What stuff?" TOP asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAF4N1JKmsHZ
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAw6w7POXQAv
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."700Please respect copyright.PENANAciabStQF8d
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.700Please respect copyright.PENANA5aEXqaLdq0
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAoyxlmVMTGf
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzFqLKUHgdi
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.700Please respect copyright.PENANA7shLkHqL62
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."700Please respect copyright.PENANA27iHsFCImm
"Wait, what's going on?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAsrKxhOY2wn
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 700Please respect copyright.PENANARXLKGQCGu6
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA1XKbk2yN7t
"I thought we should all700Please respect copyright.PENANApgCHYJ6uYg
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZvWSEMUy6Q
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."700Please respect copyright.PENANAWPWXRbw3qt
"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.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfqr9MZhXhP
"I don't know, I feel we700Please respect copyright.PENANAk1ujGWkdxs
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.700Please respect copyright.PENANAxUklheKJ9X
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out700Please respect copyright.PENANAP9fSVHMdsI
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."700Please respect copyright.PENANA75ye1RvR3H
"I don't get it though,"700Please respect copyright.PENANAbRS5yFW5ZB
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ew6DcJbyW
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write700Please respect copyright.PENANADGYb8yLAek
the lyrics?"700Please respect copyright.PENANArhy4pRU8si
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAH7yWdSnUUu
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"700Please respect copyright.PENANApXbDybW1L9
This time, I also raised700Please respect copyright.PENANANDFr9U0bgH
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAMwMHQoHHsG
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnUmMzjoOpD
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAffm4Zoa81V
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.700Please respect copyright.PENANA2vPXAhFS2U
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.700Please respect copyright.PENANAl3FXp8RRkI
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAH13rUzMnBz
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."700Please respect copyright.PENANAna99NQGoyH
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAF16FOIbHXJ
By the way G-Dragon 700Please respect copyright.PENANAcx0MEamKup
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 700Please respect copyright.PENANA316W4RTXjX
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And700Please respect copyright.PENANA7jqqAVgYBZ
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of700Please respect copyright.PENANA4M7Rnsokw3
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnxLFh1Su44
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."700Please respect copyright.PENANAYDj9WccapR
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA9sHULllQ3U
"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."700Please respect copyright.PENANAVatJ7G9Iou
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.700Please respect copyright.PENANAp5749vGaiK
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 700Please respect copyright.PENANALkw3KL5QSK
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.700Please respect copyright.PENANA5bSUSV3aJL
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."700Please respect copyright.PENANAtaymhOceWB
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."700Please respect copyright.PENANAuxSiDiJYmA
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."700Please respect copyright.PENANAOex46ojLp3
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."700Please respect copyright.PENANAl6gjr9H9Sv
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."700Please respect copyright.PENANAHrmt8Q5peC
"What truth?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAUyVwPQcciE
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."700Please respect copyright.PENANAy9cqpHHvaZ
Taeyang was right. I was700Please respect copyright.PENANAvymLQFHET8
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKGa7lU2btD
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7v0YpnznSN
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeCSWtf8Isq
attention.700Please respect copyright.PENANAuyzF684wSe
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."700Please respect copyright.PENANAky7aYySkT2
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."700Please respect copyright.PENANA59a3MWnzwO
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel700Please respect copyright.PENANAUL4AfvKMrJ
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 700Please respect copyright.PENANAu0y6P8T8Xf
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!700Please respect copyright.PENANAgCh0A3ichX
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.700Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nb9fslM75
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.700Please respect copyright.PENANASvBHZRBaAq
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.700Please respect copyright.PENANAoX46ILGBoX
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.700Please respect copyright.PENANAM13elZfw6D
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.700Please respect copyright.PENANAXaGUKY8kPL
"But I....." 700Please respect copyright.PENANAq7D5W6U9LU
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZnIu31Osy3
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've700Please respect copyright.PENANAY4obqqBViY
talked way too much, don't you think?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAhaVQDpvkr6
That felt like a slap in700Please respect copyright.PENANAKqfcQzTfTy
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 700Please respect copyright.PENANArrIjJ5bH9d
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZFMik77QG
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4sUJazdeQB
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 700Please respect copyright.PENANARwOqmIHLNq
about what I thought was best for the whole group?700Please respect copyright.PENANAEajknhJOMg
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.700Please respect copyright.PENANAPYhrgdtmcZ
"That's fine with me," said Mike.700Please respect copyright.PENANAK4PSF80Jel
Everyone else agreed, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAOWy7tD5x2A
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 700Please respect copyright.PENANAA8n04I6E94
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 700Please respect copyright.PENANAsaTKxF58DB
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 700Please respect copyright.PENANAOs1ZWyF6TN
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqCDKTYBkBM
B, just in case.700Please respect copyright.PENANAk1GBd6mce5
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.700Please respect copyright.PENANAjraTWj4E1G
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdXn2aJkTBw
"Not now, Sam. We will 700Please respect copyright.PENANAV0nO59fMyt
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 700Please respect copyright.PENANA6cjAF4bV2K
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 700Please respect copyright.PENANACPyBMX3lw9
gave me goosebumps.700Please respect copyright.PENANAAiQX4Aps9A
"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."700Please respect copyright.PENANAgSduD8EpJV
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAb0LGxDzSAN
One by one everyone 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqiZee4YKn5
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvLGCIupRcP
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem700Please respect copyright.PENANA1I46MOzfm4
appropriate.700Please respect copyright.PENANATt8DOSRChs
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.700Please respect copyright.PENANAEqmLOGoh0I
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANA6xo2gjzgen
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.700Please respect copyright.PENANA333E3sBzS4
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.700Please respect copyright.PENANA0tRw8aeYPz
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."700Please respect copyright.PENANA0UhXYECS7j
"It's not that. I pissed700Please respect copyright.PENANAknwgf0NkjX
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take700Please respect copyright.PENANAwAKbQpf8C2
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."700Please respect copyright.PENANAl4tFQTUZy3
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."700Please respect copyright.PENANAMKJmiurodI
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."700Please respect copyright.PENANAOiVpdXx3PC
Taeyang placed his hand 700Please respect copyright.PENANAH95F3CV4eR
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He700Please respect copyright.PENANAfk47EaUXOW
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.700Please respect copyright.PENANAUM6tt6JnX5
I knew I had to hope for700Please respect copyright.PENANAEudS1iLcew
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut700Please respect copyright.PENANADCBakhpQOT
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 700Please respect copyright.PENANAYDtIBgY47D
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 700Please respect copyright.PENANAb4Ka0sFNgF
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 700Please respect copyright.PENANAcHqY5jJvkz
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
