I was looking out 968Please respect copyright.PENANAVBQOlIIOhv
through the car window on an early Thursday morning as we were being 968Please respect copyright.PENANAVszkdfT9M6
driven to YG. I felt so much had happened since we got here, it felt 968Please respect copyright.PENANAjpZd3Rm4A1
like we had stayed in South Korea for so long when its only been five 968Please respect copyright.PENANAlzYHQ5L2eu
days. I already felt homesick and the feeling of going to YG this 968Please respect copyright.PENANA1F6yonajI5
morning, made me nervous.968Please respect copyright.PENANA8EUienpyxp
I didn't know what to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAablgDu8cac
expect when I get there. Yesterday was a total disaster and I prayed 968Please respect copyright.PENANAVUm3hQ4RK8
that today it wouldn't be the same. But deep down, I knew I had to 968Please respect copyright.PENANA3bsWQwsSB7
prepare myself for what's to come. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAEA5XzgZd1G
Although the other 968Please respect copyright.PENANABUMBMFGl41
Toxins and I were still on speaking terms like nothing had happened 968Please respect copyright.PENANAbqtCWk4QCH
during lunch yesterday, I could somehow feel the tension amongst 968Please respect copyright.PENANAElOYjvEiI9
ourselves. It's like we were now divided ever since I had suggested on 968Please respect copyright.PENANAmm3MkhxQOq
on all of us working on the lyrics for the song. Mike, Daniel and I on 968Please respect copyright.PENANAZxzkbHBXMI
one side, Zoey and Christine on the other. How I wish it never came to 968Please respect copyright.PENANASrK4hopSo7
this and I regretted every moment of it. But as the saying goes, what's 968Please respect copyright.PENANA5waP39LGao
done is done.968Please respect copyright.PENANARhYB76Mjku
We were all seated in 968Please respect copyright.PENANAh1BOosS56u
the car, the others talking amongst themselves with Lee and Collins 968Please respect copyright.PENANAJeWEL1p0o5
while I was quiet and feeling out of place. We hadn't told Lee and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAhiPQibqUiP
Collins about our little conflict yesterday. We decided not to tell them968Please respect copyright.PENANAItomiYFwM8
until we came to a final decision. That's if it will even be necessary.968Please respect copyright.PENANAvlxLAqiVQP
"Looks like someone is 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzDrGGcbC3G
deep in their thoughts this morning," said Collins who sat in the front 968Please respect copyright.PENANAdSacODvwU6
seat of the car and was looking at me through the rearview mirror.968Please respect copyright.PENANAqAhHQWrpKF
"I just miss home, that's all," I said.968Please respect copyright.PENANAy1EqIfihH5
"You can give your mum a call later on in the evening," said Collins. "I bet by then it would be daytime in the U.S."968Please respect copyright.PENANAoFA7Boxk9Z
"Ya, sure." I tried to put up a smile, but it felt pointless.968Please respect copyright.PENANA2U0tK5ruDK
We finally arrived at 968Please respect copyright.PENANAwWIrl1h2Xg
our destination and when we all got out of the car, I couldn't help but 968Please respect copyright.PENANA5SDBEKJD2b
feel nervous. The five of us followed Collins and Lee into the YG 968Please respect copyright.PENANACzwqwQI45s
building. As usual, we first had to go for practice. We left Collins and968Please respect copyright.PENANAVMm6U62PAY
Lee downstairs on the ground floor, while the rest of us took the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAB36zUcKvsf
elevator heading for the changing rooms.968Please respect copyright.PENANANJjtbv7Qey
After changing, we all met in one of the dance studios, ready for practice.968Please respect copyright.PENANAY23Wo454zw
"So, what should we do first?" I asked. "Go through the same routine as always or come up with some new dance moves?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAWFc9LLaNDl
"I don't see why we 968Please respect copyright.PENANAhvzjCYQuJW
should come up with new dance moves," said Zoey. "I mean, it's not like 968Please respect copyright.PENANA5jba1nUSYM
we have come up with a new song yet or anything."968Please respect copyright.PENANAbyBXGb5M6o
I felt my heart jolt upwards and I couldn't tell if it was guilt because of the song issue or I wasn't just feeling too well.968Please respect copyright.PENANAlQl9lW5k75
"But we always come up 968Please respect copyright.PENANApkS4Yc3c7W
with new dance moves even without a new song," said Mike. "I've come up 968Please respect copyright.PENANAIZuwX8OW9F
with some pretty good moves and I think we should try them out."968Please respect copyright.PENANAydlhedoMef
"Well, okay then," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders as though in doubt. "Let's give it a shot."968Please respect copyright.PENANALayKe5lzT6
"Zoey, if you want you can just sit back and watch," I said. "It seems to me you don't want to do this."968Please respect copyright.PENANA5JuqcSVTqr
"No, I want to, believe me," said Zoey.968Please respect copyright.PENANAlYH1VD7MiX
"Okay, if you say so," I turned to Mike. "So, what new ideas do you have?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAkBIQRrxXfU
Mike soon begun teaching968Please respect copyright.PENANA7l9mnVZwYr
us some of the dance moves he had come up with and without fail, we all968Please respect copyright.PENANAbloq21WW1f
got to know them quickly even when we made a few mistakes here and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAd2mdessN4F
there. We soon got a hang of it after going through it a number of 968Please respect copyright.PENANAHcVCMFwt4O
times, it turned out to be perfect and we liked it. Sometimes back home 968Please respect copyright.PENANA88dR6DLfYr
when our choreographer, Jimmy wasn't available, Mike would step in and 968Please respect copyright.PENANA2coAQVyrCA
act as our choreographer instead. Most of the time, the two would both 968Please respect copyright.PENANARaudgRHoXO
work together, and they made a pretty good team.968Please respect copyright.PENANAcHI5W4YGqh
After going through the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAsCm2CCkAE1
dance moves flawlessly with what seemed like the fourth time, we decided968Please respect copyright.PENANA9BgDX17Agp
to take a break. And when I went to collect my water bottle on a rack 968Please respect copyright.PENANAafB85QRQxF
where we laid our training bags, I noticed from the corner of my eye 968Please respect copyright.PENANAltFzmgJ7SI
that the door stood slightly open. That's weird. The last time I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAE286kdETxN
checked, the door was closed and I am pretty sure of it.968Please respect copyright.PENANAihkTwtRAGN
When I turned to face 968Please respect copyright.PENANAGUy86Bbd49
the door, I noticed a shadow, and it moved. Someone was definitely 968Please respect copyright.PENANAI54IMteCRp
behind the door. I started to walk towards it and when I got to the 968Please respect copyright.PENANA8zAAIrw5eU
door, I was surprised with what I saw. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAoNqcuEHv57
Standing behind the door968Please respect copyright.PENANAMhjU9AUK1g
were two young trainees, probably in their teens, a male and female. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAyWrdaIkKRV
When I saw them face to face behind the door, they seemed frightened and968Please respect copyright.PENANA756aoFUODG
they bowed their heads.968Please respect copyright.PENANA44oul9Dvm4
At that moment I didn't have any words to say as I kept staring at them.968Please respect copyright.PENANAESWZCwsqv4
"Hey, Sam, who is by the door?" Christine called out to me.968Please respect copyright.PENANAfJwtpMBgR2
I couldn't even reply. I968Please respect copyright.PENANAL3bG2HLibb
didn't even know where to start explaining to Christine that there were968Please respect copyright.PENANA1dbGEHNCsk
young trainees by the door, who were probably watching us practice.968Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z2KKSvxCt
Before I could say anything, the girl said, "we're sorry. We didn't mean to spy on you while you were practising."968Please respect copyright.PENANAeBp12Eluck
"Yes, we're sorry," said the boy. "We were just leaving."968Please respect copyright.PENANAj0W3T9BLd4
With their heads still bowed low, they slowly started to back away.968Please respect copyright.PENANAqN7tZUKeHn
"Wait, stop," I said.968Please respect copyright.PENANAlchaC4mMeT
The two trainees immediately stopped as though they were robots. It felt a little weird, but I quickly brushed off the feeling.968Please respect copyright.PENANA2UMmuMvX9z
"Please, come in," I said, stepping aside and widening the door for them.968Please respect copyright.PENANAmVIkz70Bmw
For a moment, the 968Please respect copyright.PENANA5rO9WjYZ9D
trainees looked on at me with scared looks on their faces. I can tell 968Please respect copyright.PENANAOa7VajQnDa
why. It was probably some of the rules set around the place and they 968Please respect copyright.PENANArfYNAVT2P7
must have found it quiet weird that I, the famous B.K, had told them to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAwVJpVauR9q
come in.968Please respect copyright.PENANAqUNqodOhxw
"아니요 (Aniyo)," said the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAkYxCiFbj4x
boy. I recognised that he said 'no'. I don't know Korean, but there were968Please respect copyright.PENANAisl9jBjIqw
some basic words I got to know so far from watching some K-Drama 968Please respect copyright.PENANAsQLEqcPejJ
series.968Please respect copyright.PENANAH7CyIaHPsL
"I mean, no," said the boy, this time in English. "That won't be necessary."968Please respect copyright.PENANAjbhDE5JMZB
"No, I insist," I said. "Come on in, we don't bite."968Please respect copyright.PENANAt1BFph4LHG
Zoey soon appeared behind me and asked, "what's going on? Are these fans of ours?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAMHo2g0gxFu
"Well, maybe," I said. "Don't try to intimidate them. You know you scare people."968Please respect copyright.PENANAqWxy4soPQG
"No, I don't," Zoey 968Please respect copyright.PENANA3O4KXK9SiT
turned to face the trainees and said, "you guys can come on in and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAv59YOe37oF
practice with us. You're YG trainees, right?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAcuDT5PmiZU
The two trainees 968Please respect copyright.PENANATQ03RXsRcL
nervously nodded, still with their heads bowed low. I looked on at the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAKICEYcm0gD
trainees, then at Zoey, then back at the trainees again.968Please respect copyright.PENANAxuviYWj3wz
"If you are worried 968Please respect copyright.PENANAKO9acLNxiX
about getting in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk, don't worry about it," I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAxwQLYe93XR
said. "You can come and practice with us. You don't have to be afraid."968Please respect copyright.PENANAoy7SDgRaTA
The two trainees looked 968Please respect copyright.PENANAxVn6lrUr5T
at me and this time, they looked really excited. By the looks on their 968Please respect copyright.PENANAXWBAquYwEa
faces, I bet they were fans, and probably the idea of dancing with The 968Please respect copyright.PENANAfADbX1QtwM
Toxins seemed like a dream come true. I knew how that felt, because once968Please respect copyright.PENANAdaZHmBXqNW
upon a time, I was once in their shoes.968Please respect copyright.PENANArIsiS3IH5P
"Re-really?" the girl asked, looking at me with excitement in her eyes.968Please respect copyright.PENANARjjMUXhx39
"Ya, sure. Why not?" I 968Please respect copyright.PENANA9HULWV1H7z
jerked my head to the side, telling them to come in. I knew I was 968Please respect copyright.PENANAqtBsHq5P5p
already in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk because of what happened at 968Please respect copyright.PENANAmbYbgP2teb
Caribbean Bay, so I didn't mind if I got into more trouble just because 968Please respect copyright.PENANAmEvoAxZqCf
of allowing innocent trainees to come and practice with us.968Please respect copyright.PENANA0vEGyFgEaD
The trainees gladly followed as Zoey and I led the way.968Please respect copyright.PENANAuc7wPgZYvt
"Oh, I see you brought in some friends," said Daniel as he saw us approaching. "Welcome guys."968Please respect copyright.PENANA2tyFLTkv0A
"Thank you," said the two trainees at the same time, with huge big smiles on their faces.968Please respect copyright.PENANApFLjuD8muh
"You guys don't mind if they join us, do you?" I asked the others.968Please respect copyright.PENANApfYfShGMRT
"Not at all," said Mike.968Please respect copyright.PENANA9ftiHDb80w
"Ya, it's good to have people around, much less our fans," said Christine. "It's going to be so much fun."968Please respect copyright.PENANAZDSvrEkbd9
"Wow, this is like a dream come true," said the girl. "I never knew I would be dancing with you guys."968Please respect copyright.PENANAE5l14x7DDx
"You better believe it, girl," said Zoey, giving the girl a wink. "Dreams do come true."968Please respect copyright.PENANAtDtCfiXj9O
"So, should we teach them the new dance moves we have been working on?" Mike asked as he turned to me.968Please respect copyright.PENANA1VEqHbN4TR
"Ya, sure," I said. "It's okay with me."968Please respect copyright.PENANAEDR8oIKdj5
Mike soon started to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAyhzNqjBlXr
teach the trainees the dance moves and surprisingly, they got to learn 968Please respect copyright.PENANAwEpuxQHLyW
it quicker than I anticipated. They were really talented, I had to give 968Please respect copyright.PENANAEbGhAyWoSx
them credit for that.968Please respect copyright.PENANAFnF7U6gJea
"Wow, for trainees, you're really good," said Mike, as he turned to face them.968Please respect copyright.PENANAuDXIsBMs1i
"We try," said the boy. "We have been watching you practise, so it wasn't that hard."968Please respect copyright.PENANA7r4HiQdfxY
"We didn't get to know your names," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.PENANAZkqgyLsusa
"I'm Soo Mi," said the girl.968Please respect copyright.PENANApZ51IgdGdc
"I'm Young Jin," said the boy.968Please respect copyright.PENANAeIBEDB65nf
"It's really nice to meet you guys," I said. "Why don't we go through the dance moves together and see how it all turns out?"968Please respect copyright.PENANADde3MOKT4D
Everyone agreed. We 968Please respect copyright.PENANAG5ahx2BEW5
positioned ourselves and started going through the moves again and it 968Please respect copyright.PENANApTXb9Wt3DL
was awesome. When we were done, everyone cheered and we all gave each 968Please respect copyright.PENANAhVIqziiY4A
other high fives.968Please respect copyright.PENANAdQpf7H8w9M
"This is so much fun," I said.968Please respect copyright.PENANA8G5NbS989J
"Ya, I know, we should be doing this more often with other trainees," said Mike.968Please respect copyright.PENANAHUhFj3j56y
"Ya, but we have to finish this dance routine, Mike," said Zoey. "So, work on it."968Please respect copyright.PENANA7WQ027UxKk
While I turned to talk to the trainees, I noticed Lee come into the studio. And she seemed to be coming straight for me.968Please respect copyright.PENANAGu9lqpazTZ
"Sam, we need to go," said Lee as she came close.968Please respect copyright.PENANAcTS86jrOsF
"Go? Go where?" I asked looking confused.968Please respect copyright.PENANALGs79UjKHL
"The reporters are here, you know, over the video of you and G-Dragon."968Please respect copyright.PENANACUKWnN5HUW
Yikes! I was enjoying 968Please respect copyright.PENANAvmUG1Qiynv
myself with practice and being friends with the trainees, I forgot all 968Please respect copyright.PENANAhXcM6vw2GR
about the video. I wish the reporters should just forget about the 968Please respect copyright.PENANASGhOZaO4Z1
stupid video for once and let it be.968Please respect copyright.PENANAK9nb4D2sug
But that wasn't my only 968Please respect copyright.PENANAeWvTfSrfFY
fear. I am going to be with GD for the interview and the thought of 968Please respect copyright.PENANAat4CXbK5ib
being next to him somehow made me nervous. I realised that I had 968Please respect copyright.PENANAmjddADfYJR
goosebumps all over my arms just at the thought of it. I just hope he 968Please respect copyright.PENANAUN13CjkFp5
isn't mad at me anymore. But I was going to trust my gut and say that he968Please respect copyright.PENANAr6CvvzihQ4
probably still is.968Please respect copyright.PENANAYY3Iu1HCsC
"Wait, they are having their interview today?" Zoey asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANALBYtc0aGxh
"Yes, and right now," said Lee. "Go and freshen up, Sam. You must be ready within fifteen minutes."968Please respect copyright.PENANAQsdUNr0U4T
"Um, okay," I said. I could even hear my voice breaking. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAqT6m5I5SkH
"Is GD already here?" Christine asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANAifNjYMZJLJ
When Christine asked the968Please respect copyright.PENANAWOPi6mIxcL
question, I felt my heart stop beating. Eish! I was nervous for sure. 968Please respect copyright.PENANArljM1uL3OO
The thought of GD being here almost made me want to run.968Please respect copyright.PENANAjgCo8jIjRf
"No, but he will be here any moment," Lee replied. "Come on, Sam. You better take a shower."968Please respect copyright.PENANA3XMuYxwXog
Somehow, it felt good 968Please respect copyright.PENANA7Prd90zKZX
that I was going to take a shower. Maybe I would cool off and try to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAnhAlpf4v4d
calm down with all of this. But I felt that wasn't going to be the case.968Please respect copyright.PENANAyREntjQ9RY
"See you later, guys," I said as I followed Lee who led the way out of the studio.968Please respect copyright.PENANAcyMsYZcAkc
Everyone waved and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAnc5wMf52hg
wished me luck. Dealing with reporters wasn't easy and you just didn't 968Please respect copyright.PENANAoE0iokADQs
need luck to confront them. You needed guts and confidence.968Please respect copyright.PENANAaRsCH3rSQE
I needed luck to be on my side though, because dealing with G-Dragon wasn't going to be easy.968Please respect copyright.PENANAQCICgnVuto
***968Please respect copyright.PENANAF0a22XvFpx
The make-up artists were968Please respect copyright.PENANAUfFa7hgq4I
done powdering my face and my hair was all combed and tied up in a pony968Please respect copyright.PENANANhcXb6pJTH
tail. I wanted to look simple in front of the cameras and reporters 968Please respect copyright.PENANA6mRUURmQcA
just like I always have. Except whenever I have to shoot for music 968Please respect copyright.PENANAShc4CtmPbq
videos and taking photo shoots, I have to apply make-up just to fit in 968Please respect copyright.PENANAc1edHnNNZB
with the scene.968Please respect copyright.PENANAIbEBR9VVf4
When the make-up artists968Please respect copyright.PENANA4dV2uQixjo
were done and I was applying pink lip gloss on my lips, I heard quick 968Please respect copyright.PENANAlGKOwscUHw
chattering behind me and someone mentioned G-Dragon's name. I turned to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6ucIjjXt7
look behind me and I saw G-Dragon entering the dressing room.968Please respect copyright.PENANAjddjLAOu6o
My heart skipped a beat 968Please respect copyright.PENANAXCDeecLu8v
as I watched him. He didn't seem to notice me at first because of the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAv383Xhoyrd
make-up artists and clothe designers that surrounded him trying to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAxRcVtBRCon
figure out if he needed a bit of make-up and a change of clothes. But 968Please respect copyright.PENANAJmD5tCUSBt
just the way he was dressed seemed okay to me and they seemed to have 968Please respect copyright.PENANAkegnFJ3ija
noticed that too because, they backed away from him and went on to do 968Please respect copyright.PENANANERd1kXclG
their own things.968Please respect copyright.PENANAtfinDACBoV
He dyed his hair blonde 968Please respect copyright.PENANAPnG4rUX5bm
this time around and it matched with his white fancy jacket with gold 968Please respect copyright.PENANAFpD5JaLopG
studs on the collar and a black shirt beneath. They never call him a 968Please respect copyright.PENANAGnRG6yDtfz
fashionista for nothing.968Please respect copyright.PENANA8idChRYkHJ
When he looked in my direction, he saw me and he immediately looked the other way as though I was nothing.968Please respect copyright.PENANAlepbaMgRhf
Ouch! That's gotta hurt!968Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jql0QlkX6
I felt my face grow hot in embarrassment. He was still mad at me. I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAA9q9WIKClZ
slowly turned to face the mirror again trying to act like nothing was 968Please respect copyright.PENANADEpoh0m2Hu
wrong, when I was actually hurt.968Please respect copyright.PENANAbon3nbhLrL
Through the mirror, I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAKGDWwIngoB
saw G-Dragon take a seat on the other side of the dressing room facing a968Please respect copyright.PENANAUYXZCVWOz6
mirror. He was looking down on his phone, probably texting or 968Please respect copyright.PENANAWAPx5rFeIv
something, and I continued to stare at him.968Please respect copyright.PENANAJbaakl3rLN
G-Dragon looked up at 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzhSXXpS4fF
the mirror in front of him and I bet he saw me looking at him through my968Please respect copyright.PENANAzpOb5K0ytk
mirror because he had a funny look on his face and he went back to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAe8oQ3zcswE
looking at his phone. Bummer! I could tell by the way he looked at the 968Please respect copyright.PENANA0EuJTK3Ag2
mirror that he obviously saw me looking at him. I sighed in deep regret 968Please respect copyright.PENANA2NW9G8BZzf
and looked the other way. I had never felt so alone.968Please respect copyright.PENANAnt5PzVSmyH
Then all of the sudden, 968Please respect copyright.PENANAOFUnGucQsu
someone behind me held my shoulders and I almost jumped in fright. I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAjYa9Kwu9Jg
looked behind me and there stood Daesung. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAMDIQjA6ZzD
"Hey, little kitty. Your head's in the clouds today," he said, as he continued to look down at me and smiled. "What's up?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAjfZwBzYW71
At that moment, I was so968Please respect copyright.PENANA0xDw2I7dDV
glad that he was here. Right now I needed someone to talk to. I smiled 968Please respect copyright.PENANAU3ZOhLBPxn
back up at him. His smile and his presence seemed to have brighten my 968Please respect copyright.PENANAHWgH7R5V79
mood a little.968Please respect copyright.PENANARo5TCjSc5g
"Take a seat and I'll tell you," I said.968Please respect copyright.PENANAu1c6gkzNFb
"Okay, sounds serious," said Daesung as he grabbed a chair and sat next to me.968Please respect copyright.PENANAy29P1GoMjn
When I looked at 968Please respect copyright.PENANA49wHcraqkZ
Daesung, I felt myself blush. With our shoulders almost brushing each 968Please respect copyright.PENANAxgkDby5Msi
other, I could feel the electric pull between us and I hope he wasn't 968Please respect copyright.PENANA7qX8XiAJck
feeling it too. It brought back memories of what happened the day before968Please respect copyright.PENANALZJoxYQVAe
yesterday. The two of us hadn't even tried to bring up that topic yet. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAbpJNOEODH1
Maybe we never will.968Please respect copyright.PENANAF5noZO7qfe
"So, tell me, what's wrong?" Daesung asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANAtgBhUj9QFU
"Everything is wrong," I slowly replied.968Please respect copyright.PENANA1cIqMSMqn5
"Is it about yesterday?"968Please respect copyright.PENANA3tOLcb2p78
"Ya, it is."968Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ob2VYcTts
Daesung looked behind 968Please respect copyright.PENANAa7wGq545o7
him because he knew what I was taking about. I also turned and G-Dragon 968Please respect copyright.PENANAeF9MyaSf8H
was still on his phone ignoring everyone around him. He seemed lost in 968Please respect copyright.PENANAGjQM4WRYdN
his own world.968Please respect copyright.PENANAkKNkEqsD52
"He's still mad, isn't he?" Daesung asked as he turned to face me.968Please respect copyright.PENANAPivVaYDQUt
"Pretty much," I replied. "He didn't say a word to me when he came in and ignored me as though I didn't exist."968Please respect copyright.PENANA4NnOtQ0sBB
"Let's just hope he doesn't stay that way for long."968Please respect copyright.PENANAL48E8efxP3
"I hope so too. But why do I get the feeling that this is only going to get worse?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAfDQYVpBlxg
"Stop thinking like that, okay?" Daesung held my hand that was on my lap. That sent tingles up my arm and down my spine.968Please respect copyright.PENANAcnDYpay6xQ
"I can't, Daesung," I said. "My gut feeling has never failed me before. Why should it now?"968Please respect copyright.PENANADbt5vhFl0h
"I don't have the answer to that. And it seems to me you really trust your gut a lot."968Please respect copyright.PENANA6EjQ36k4XK
"Dah, I always do," I said rolling my eyes playfully as I smiled.968Please respect copyright.PENANANzamrwYcXS
Daesung laughed and that968Please respect copyright.PENANAAhxzyKF7ii
caused me to laugh also. I felt so relieved that I shared this with 968Please respect copyright.PENANAYtLTwI8NXb
Daesung. He is so nice, caring and understanding, just like Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.PENANAq0Il6FCFoe
I soon felt someone's 968Please respect copyright.PENANAyqyC9QA1R8
eyes on me as I laughed. I looked behind me. For a moment, I had a 968Please respect copyright.PENANAMfmNJnf7ZD
feeling that G-Dragon was staring at us through the mirror, but his eyes968Please respect copyright.PENANAcDFfgkyicV
were still on the phone. Maybe I was just imagining things.968Please respect copyright.PENANAyepkbcAazu
Lee suddenly came in the dressing room and said, "Sam, Ji Yong, it's time to go. The reporters are waiting."968Please respect copyright.PENANAss9gwuRFtv
I quickly stood up and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAWTGY4ujjTY
checked if my clothes were alright. I was wearing a blue summer dress 968Please respect copyright.PENANA5yjjy8v9MA
with purple flowers on it and white flats.968Please respect copyright.PENANAPhhxcuZ1lQ
"You look beautiful, Sam," said Daesung. "Just stunning."968Please respect copyright.PENANAJfb4JC9RPZ
I smiled and I blushed like crazy. Right now, I had to focus on the interview and Daesung was sweeping me off my feet.968Please respect copyright.PENANAznJSkuwicv
"Thanks, Daesung," I smiled, as I continued to blush.968Please respect copyright.PENANARgx05ZgFWG
I noticed G-Dragon stare968Please respect copyright.PENANA8MRXn3CuJ3
at us as he stood up from his chair. And when I turned to face him, he 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzxPetdQ1XB
quickly looked away and walked out of the dressing room, bypassing Lee 968Please respect copyright.PENANA1idF18myMl
who was by the door. For a moment, the room was silent as everyone, 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzqWNvQflpJ
including the people who worked around the dressing room, noticed 968Please respect copyright.PENANA9zFGzfmZ7S
G-Dragon's odd behaviour.968Please respect copyright.PENANAzOXaTZXtnN
"Wow. What's wrong with him?" Lee asked as she pointed her thumb down the hall where G-Dragon had passed.968Please respect copyright.PENANAvjZpB5Fqcp
"Long story," I answered. "We better go."968Please respect copyright.PENANANbN7Ml0V75
Lee nodded her head and I turned to face Daesung.968Please respect copyright.PENANANJKI2JqyBK
"You'll be fine, don't worry about it," said Daesung as he smiled at me.968Please respect copyright.PENANAX1FVI1LZlL
"Thanks," I tried to put up a smile, but it all felt useless.968Please respect copyright.PENANAeaQms6iyhe
Lee and I walked out of 968Please respect copyright.PENANAplv7Tw1ybp
the dressing room together and it seemed like G-Dragon had already taken968Please respect copyright.PENANAULZRPo6eeY
off into the elevator without us because he wasn't in the hallway. The 968Please respect copyright.PENANATOAxrYq6Wt
guilt came back to settle within me and I couldn't help but blame myself968Please respect copyright.PENANALsolQjWyfE
that it was all my fault he was acting this way.968Please respect copyright.PENANADTaVnqknOo
When Lee and I got into 968Please respect copyright.PENANAfUiWn9L07p
the elevator, she asked, "why does G-Dragon seem so upset? I noticed the968Please respect copyright.PENANAV25yfjG9eZ
way he looked at you. Weren't you supposed to be mad at him for what 968Please respect copyright.PENANAcY1LjCsRbZ
happened at Caribbean Bay?"968Please respect copyright.PENANA1cp1YWOo9I
"A lot has happened that968Please respect copyright.PENANAyBjrBIMHA5
you don't know about, Lee," I said, staring at my feet as the elevator 968Please respect copyright.PENANAYapxl7nPmz
continued to move. "So much that I can't explain."968Please respect copyright.PENANAfC8EgeL0bs
"Like what? I heard you guys had lunch yesterday and things didn't turn out well."968Please respect copyright.PENANA6PY47T7IYc
"Where did you hear that from?" I asked as I quickly turned to look at her.968Please respect copyright.PENANARXhhV02f3N
"Too much gossip among 968Please respect copyright.PENANA8lIIP5Vh1t
the working staff at the hotel," said Lee with a smile. "Don't worry 968Please respect copyright.PENANAaB9jIQcxOD
though. They said it didn't seem so serious."968Please respect copyright.PENANAhmxEflBRYj
"Wait? You understand Korean?" I grew even more surprised when that thought suddenly dawned on me.968Please respect copyright.PENANA6lrOfG5Hbi
"Dah," said Lee, rolling968Please respect copyright.PENANAyEnQTpbnYS
her eyes and the elevator doors slid open. "Why do you think I was able968Please respect copyright.PENANAM9lM0NavVt
to hold Yang Hyun-suk and Collins for so long at YG? Oh, and don't tell968Please respect copyright.PENANArOtjr2TCj7
Collins. He doesn't know either."968Please respect copyright.PENANAk9tBrQTpvd
"You never told me what happened," I said as the two of us stepped out of the elevator.968Please respect copyright.PENANAcNQK0UcYRc
"Well, I think the both 968Please respect copyright.PENANAq5w9NmFR3I
of us have a lot of catching up to do after this," said Lee as we both 968Please respect copyright.PENANAIBim193LYg
walked down the hallway and turned round the corner. "Right now, it's 968Please respect copyright.PENANA0QM0rGC6De
showtime."968Please respect copyright.PENANAJgOGpE7D85
It was showtime indeed. I968Please respect copyright.PENANA7Mm8zuLxoy
found Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and G-Dragon talking amongst themselves in968Please respect copyright.PENANAQuSi3HDkUI
the hallway. Behind them was the door that led to the conference room. I968Please respect copyright.PENANAF9OFRGcMtA
could hear voices of the reporters behind the door and I felt my palms 968Please respect copyright.PENANAi8N4dP4oRg
starting to sweat. I wasn't such a fan of interviews and I hated them.968Please respect copyright.PENANA0icD3MvNyn
"Ah, here she comes," said Yang Hyun-suk as he noticed Lee and I approach. "You're looking very lovely today."968Please respect copyright.PENANA6zyFZxdU9I
I bowed my head at him and said slowly, "gomawoyo (고마워요) (thank you), Hyun-suk Sajangnim (사장님) (Boss)."968Please respect copyright.PENANAftwW7icDDn
"I'm impressed," said Yang Hyun-suk, with a smile on his face. "You're really learning."968Please respect copyright.PENANAj2u5eom5RI
"Well, I try to do the best I could," I said.968Please respect copyright.PENANAkXfJD3xgMV
"Sam really knows how to adapt to the environment she's in," said Collins. "No wonder she's so smart."968Please respect copyright.PENANAn0P1itSRXn
"No doubt about that," said Yang Hyun-suk. "And she's looking really lovely today, isn't that right, GD?"968Please respect copyright.PENANADsjXLC7ZBs
My heart almost skipped a968Please respect copyright.PENANAOutv5wvS8z
beat as I turned to look at G-Dragon who was also looking at me. For a 968Please respect copyright.PENANAsJuEX1E8jf
moment, he didn't reply and I was scared at what he was going to say.968Please respect copyright.PENANA4PWZTvbCe7
Surprisingly, he managed968Please respect copyright.PENANAsWKlk5RdwV
to put up a smile on his face. For a moment there, his smile seemed 968Please respect copyright.PENANAkIZqXZdtzY
genuine, but I could feel the negative energy behind it.968Please respect copyright.PENANADnm6ABFAq7
"Yes, she does look lovely today," G-Dragon replied.968Please respect copyright.PENANAGy9Faqd8ut
I didn't know whether I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAQG3rfheXAs
should run or remain where I was. I couldn't stand this any longer. I 968Please respect copyright.PENANALV7zhpxD5x
felt he was some psychopathic killer ready to jump on me when no one was968Please respect copyright.PENANACjDjuqhIDX
looking. And honestly, I felt pretty terrified.968Please respect copyright.PENANAfcamG7wKgp
The door soon flew open 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzgFs7LRy2W
and someone came to inform us that everything was all set and ready to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAkAqJp8KqBv
go. I breathed out heavily as I tried to calm myself and we walked 968Please respect copyright.PENANActki4R36zm
towards the door. My palms were still sweaty.968Please respect copyright.PENANAbmFz28agm1
"Hey, don't worry about a thing," said Lee as she reached me to the door. "You'll be alright."968Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZhyMCwWaX
All I could do was nod my head at Lee and I stepped in to the conference room first with G-Dragon behind me.968Please respect copyright.PENANABA66q4ROQp
The flashing lights of 968Please respect copyright.PENANAVX72RXK9wj
the cameras flashed around me. They blinded my eyes for a moment, but I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAmn8Tu9IgjU
pretended not to flinch as I continued to walk up to the small podium 968Please respect copyright.PENANAHVLagIBH3z
and there stood a table with four chairs.968Please respect copyright.PENANAI33bRPrGAb
I got up to the podium 968Please respect copyright.PENANAqQPlFMXM86
and I was guided where to sit. There were four chairs behind the table 968Please respect copyright.PENANAZxePtO6gwK
and I sat in the middle and G-Dragon sat next to me. Collins sat to my 968Please respect copyright.PENANAOXvCAEH5hq
left while Yang Hyun-suk sat to G-Dragon's right.968Please respect copyright.PENANAVZsc59Jlnw
The bright lights of the968Please respect copyright.PENANAPeyd1g1FRM
flashing cameras continued to flash in front of my eyes and it took 968Please respect copyright.PENANAJTvoY11gqu
time to regain my vision. I soon noticed that there were a lot more 968Please respect copyright.PENANAXYT4v1X0aj
reporters and camera men in the conference room than I had anticipated. 968Please respect copyright.PENANA9YYhTkFOuO
My hands were as sweaty as hell and I felt them shivering. I bet this 968Please respect copyright.PENANAqL581rsBso
interview was going live on national TV because I noticed video cameras 968Please respect copyright.PENANAPihYoWcEpD
around the room.968Please respect copyright.PENANAd9u240tbx0
"Good morning, 968Please respect copyright.PENANASKaCDfQWQb
everyone," said Yang Hyun-suk through the set of microphones that were 968Please respect copyright.PENANA9XFhKFlXiv
in front of him on the table. "We may now proceed with the interview. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAuC4rk4taSM
You may begin to ask your questions."968Please respect copyright.PENANAKSRKfCjnyy
The thing I always hated968Please respect copyright.PENANADhKObrP3gg
about interviews, was that reporters could ask the dumbest questions, 968Please respect copyright.PENANAPc5t6G3w19
the personal ones, the most hurtful ones, the most confusing ones and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAXTMWhkUvTg
the inappropriate ones. I hoped and prayed that the first question 968Please respect copyright.PENANAJEK9HRKyLJ
wasn't going to be any of the five I had in mind. 968Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZclDxmzGY
A lady among the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAygzQK9t9tc
reporters raised her hand and Yang Hyun-suk told her to proceed. I had 968Please respect copyright.PENANAiIRxhjwKam
my fingers crossed. I always hated such moments.968Please respect copyright.PENANAJ51MwhaE59
"I'm Mi Sun from MBC 968Please respect copyright.PENANAYSm5PXSVJ9
TV," said the reporter. "On Tuesday this week, a video of YG's own 968Please respect copyright.PENANAiaoKdkQ3Nk
phenomenal artist, G-Dragon, and Samantha Glasson, also known as B.K, 968Please respect copyright.PENANAVhPUPdhQwn
was released on YouTube and almost became a worldwide trend. My 968Please respect copyright.PENANA5OmhIvgHEm
question, probably on everyone's mind is, are the two of them dating?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAfW9PPBBT5A
Yang Hyun-suk answered, 968Please respect copyright.PENANAkvcAwQ18xi
"we can assure you that the two of them aren't dating. That video wasn't968Please respect copyright.PENANAJm6jYbIhTp
supposed to be aired on YouTube."968Please respect copyright.PENANAfgv2sMRlBv
"If it wasn't supposed to be aired, then who did this and why?" the reporter asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANAsqJ423HHzO
Ah, oh. Was this the 968Please respect copyright.PENANA3YNVXPMmYX
part where either G-Dragon and I were supposed to answer the question? 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzSv3gajO41
If so, I wasn't ready to tell them that my very own best friend had done968Please respect copyright.PENANAIXpH2nkifR
all this. I feared of what the outcome may be.968Please respect copyright.PENANAFfHcRoDROU
"The person who took the video was none other than our very own, Zoey," Collins answered.968Please respect copyright.PENANAhJGu1nOJ8v
From the corner of my 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzxdwXr9Leo
eye, I looked at Collins. I knew Collins wouldn't want to make Zoey look968Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZIRuut61c
bad for any reason at all, but it looks like he and Yang Hyun-suk were 968Please respect copyright.PENANAXNUNfuMIGz
sticking to the truth. I might as well just do the same.968Please respect copyright.PENANAF9Z59dFSGT
Another reporter, a man this time around, raised a hand and Yang Hyun-suk allowed him to speak.968Please respect copyright.PENANACEg06OaYPS
"Thank you, my name is 968Please respect copyright.PENANAz2VfZrxxt3
Jin Soo from KBS," said the male reporter. "I think a lot of people 968Please respect copyright.PENANA57Himb7kmZ
would want to know after hearing all of this, why would Zoey post that 968Please respect copyright.PENANA57RZBuZ1H5
video? From the look of things, what was going on between GD and BK 968Please respect copyright.PENANAJRJ5vx6D57
seemed like a private affair, or was the video all for show?"968Please respect copyright.PENANACEU3OXv1SF
This was what I feared. I968Please respect copyright.PENANAJazUjBOi7J
bet a lot of our fans were thinking G-Dragon and I were actually dating968Please respect copyright.PENANA50gh8AhGSK
and had high hopes. Now that people know the truth, it would crush the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAc9NmCOsYUJ
fans and Zoey would end up being the villain. But telling the truth was 968Please respect copyright.PENANAaaI4I4kENl
really the best option. It wouldn't seem right, now that GD and I were 968Please respect copyright.PENANApRV3CWqD6k
clearly not on good terms at the moment, to tell the whole world a lie.968Please respect copyright.PENANAhXK71S9gdw
"I think I'll answer that question," said G-Dragon.968Please respect copyright.PENANALN4BbRORag
For a moment, my heart 968Please respect copyright.PENANARHmqjuazY3
almost skipped a beat as G-Dragon spoke through the mic. I turned to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAvJSfpv4FiI
look at him. I just hoped he wasn't going to say anything that would 968Please respect copyright.PENANA9ITwtlQJuT
raise more questions from the reporters.968Please respect copyright.PENANA8G72tieQlh
"The video you saw on YouTube wasn't for show," said G-Dragon. "All that was actually real."968Please respect copyright.PENANAUxU6nFUOMX
"And you allowed Zoey to take the video?" the male reporter asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANAktUYFa3cdA
"No, apparently, we never realised that Zoey was taking the video until it was already too late."968Please respect copyright.PENANAACzCxUh4RJ
"But why did she do all that? Can you explain what her intentions were at the time?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAn0KDtFf7oP
I knew G-Dragon wasn't 968Please respect copyright.PENANA8mWs2V8Gwf
going to answer that question because no one knew Zoey better than I 968Please respect copyright.PENANASgmVcCZCRW
did. So without realising it, I stepped in.968Please respect copyright.PENANAXyJ8Nsgj6m
"I know what Zoey did by968Please respect copyright.PENANAYRFZY08IQi
releasing the video has raised a lot of questions in everyone's mind," I968Please respect copyright.PENANAyqSHc2KIDE
said, confidently. "Many of our fans had high hopes that GD and I were 968Please respect copyright.PENANAMlLxy7lq05
dating, but that's not the case. What happened was nothing but a 968Please respect copyright.PENANAM0NdDXxhYY
misunderstanding."968Please respect copyright.PENANA2EjzmrtfN6
Immediately I said those968Please respect copyright.PENANAxNVoBrIobn
words, everyone's eyes were on me now, including those around the world968Please respect copyright.PENANAlGnVKmxeAh
probably watching on their television screens or devices. Yang 968Please respect copyright.PENANA8UHL9KHLrv
Hyun-suk, Collins and G-Dragon also stared at me. The camera lights kept968Please respect copyright.PENANAP1xmoCLYIU
on flashing in my face like crazy. I wish I could tell the camera men 968Please respect copyright.PENANA8joOwyzow3
to stop because the flashing lights were so annoying. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAI1TnkBtpmA
I continued before any 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzMmrsjISft
reporter could ask what I meant. "The truth is, what was going on 968Please respect copyright.PENANA5kHdXtUVzl
between GD and I was real. He gave me chocolates and roses because he 968Please respect copyright.PENANABsnV3qw0Ck
was trying to make up for not being there for me the previous day and to968Please respect copyright.PENANAmO4osbpVwf
congratulate me on making it on the Elle Korean Magazine Cover. So, him968Please respect copyright.PENANA9mM4u2fbKp
giving me those gifts were more like saying 'congratulations' and 'I'm 968Please respect copyright.PENANA7HQgti3aZm
sorry for not being there' kind of thing."968Please respect copyright.PENANAbPRgTxeF3V
For a moment, no one 968Please respect copyright.PENANA2VKnj3ZPut
said a word, not even the reporters. I turned to Collins, who gave me a 968Please respect copyright.PENANALvSxa4Yuvw
nod to go on. I continued to stare at the audience of reporters and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAbrmqy7xkHj
camera men. I could feel G-Dragon's eyes on me though. But that 968Please respect copyright.PENANAKg9VJworpO
shouldn't intimidate me. I cleared my throat and went on.968Please respect copyright.PENANAc6zNK12MgP
"And knowing Zoey, she's968Please respect copyright.PENANAQ55livfGNC
one who likes to capture such beautiful moments. So, she decided to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAGxyIVA5Hgs
take a video of what was happening. And before we could realise what was968Please respect copyright.PENANAcMI72pqpZE
going on, it was already too late. She first posted it on her fan base,968Please respect copyright.PENANA4c7lDvuCSs
which she usually does. But before she could take it down, her loyal 968Please respect copyright.PENANABZQLNEOn7w
fans had already seen it and probably one of them posted it on YouTube. 968Please respect copyright.PENANALBRESYGjIJ
And that's how everything came to be up to this point."968Please respect copyright.PENANAU6QHdunw6I
All the reporters who 968Please respect copyright.PENANAgFTcu9Kh1C
were taking down what I was saying, started muttering among themselves 968Please respect copyright.PENANApli3I3v6vl
as though we were in a debate room. I didn't know what they would 968Please respect copyright.PENANALRHFUFdsN9
obviously be talking about and I hoped that they weren't going to ask a 968Please respect copyright.PENANAosJUtncZyA
question that might just intimidate me.968Please respect copyright.PENANAFaeG9n8dxs
The same female reporter from MBC raised her hand and she was told to proceed. I feared for my life.968Please respect copyright.PENANAg4n2sSMLPk
"So what you're trying to say, B.K, is that all this is Zoey's fault?" the reporter asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ0fzztlWk
"Well, I could blame 968Please respect copyright.PENANAEj1ERlIwTf
Zoey because she was the one who took the video in the first place and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAjxY2Ej1Xda
without our permission. But it's not entirely her fault," I replied. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAm2CACuDkl2
"I've grown to know her very well because she's my best friend. I know 968Please respect copyright.PENANAWhEMVjwlcD
she didn't mean any harm by raising people's hopes that we were dating. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1CaUbVUil
Knowing her, she thought she could try to capture the great friendship 968Please respect copyright.PENANAu3gq7ubt78
that G-Dragon and I have."968Please respect copyright.PENANACb3sjmGJyd
What was I saying? I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAnSndNG9gK5
know I am being honest and genuine, but saying it with G-Dragon by my 968Please respect copyright.PENANAbsD5wbaBGR
side felt awkward. If people got to know that G-Dragon and I had quiet a968Please respect copyright.PENANAuhRSooWMk4
misunderstanding the other day, it would surly raise questions and the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAm46jSSaeD0
whole world would criticise me.968Please respect copyright.PENANAlMpbf6mIo5
I stared at G-Dragon 968Please respect copyright.PENANAAxkIh0Ulm9
beside me and he was still staring at me. I could see it in his eyes 968Please respect copyright.PENANAsPOUDmudnU
that me saying all that felt wrong, but all that happened way before the968Please respect copyright.PENANADVCsWOF15y
argument. I was hurting as I said all that and I wish I could turn back968Please respect copyright.PENANAhfrSg59Se9
the hands of time and set things right.968Please respect copyright.PENANAP5M1AsMip8
"And also, she's always 968Please respect copyright.PENANARq6mtBw0da
admired G-Dragon," I continued, as I turned to the audience. "So, I bet 968Please respect copyright.PENANAGl8aTEP5iw
she was trying to capture G-Dragon's great personality. We all know how 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzpin9Y4P4o
much of a good guy he is, so, that's why Zoey did all that."968Please respect copyright.PENANAUH1uUkj6h4
I think I had said 968Please respect copyright.PENANASwXUinXsO4
enough and I kept quiet. This was awkward and I could feel that G-Dragon968Please respect copyright.PENANAQbJmRyJXai
was feeling the same way. All I wanted was for this interview to be 968Please respect copyright.PENANAg9XkDGaZFb
over and get out of the conference room.968Please respect copyright.PENANA0lxaGqEFRH
"So, you two are clearly not dating?" the reporter asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANArTqBeVVVg6
"No," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time.968Please respect copyright.PENANABepHZzhoc6
Okay. That felt weird. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAOzxu2U00lO
My eyes flew at G-Dragon and he also turned to look at me. That made 968Please respect copyright.PENANAMvzz97D4Rs
things even more weirder. I bet those watching on national TV would 968Please respect copyright.PENANAvHaKP08C01
either find all of this a show or something beyond the ordinary.968Please respect copyright.PENANALVO3idkQDr
"And you guys wouldn't 968Please respect copyright.PENANAopMZfSl1r8
like to date in future?" the reporter continued. "Because a lot has been968Please respect copyright.PENANAOx8NP5GM9m
said since the video came out that you two would make a great couple."968Please respect copyright.PENANAiPAiGWnSpe
"No, we wouldn't."968Please respect copyright.PENANAfcmmGBoh9l
Dang it! We replied at 968Please respect copyright.PENANASiIqQcTRtz
the same time, again! This wasn't going so well and we both knew it as 968Please respect copyright.PENANAAGpBxsHWUO
we stared at each other. These were the times you would tell the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAO26sTU15lW
reporters to mind their own business and walk away like you didn't care.968Please respect copyright.PENANAfeptiTrc8v
This was turning out to be just terrible.968Please respect copyright.PENANAtwmssb02XL
"There would be no need 968Please respect copyright.PENANAuDRJXUW6Hz
to ask such questions," said Collins. "The Toxins are here in South 968Please respect copyright.PENANAAFdlvhR646
Korea strictly for business. There would be no point for Sam and Ji Yong968Please respect copyright.PENANAp48kNugwQq
to start dating when The Toxins would obviously stay here for less than968Please respect copyright.PENANA7pBExX8COy
a month or two."968Please respect copyright.PENANAsKUccWNKAg
Phew! Thank you, 968Please respect copyright.PENANAooiMCnPckc
Collins! No wonder I considered him as my top guardian angel. I was so 968Please respect copyright.PENANAU8cXLdTJqB
glad that he finally decided to step in or else I would obviously have 968Please respect copyright.PENANAuRVnRCozHO
told the reporter to piss off.968Please respect copyright.PENANAn8A6w5ombB
"So, how is the song 968Please respect copyright.PENANARsuuS32XnZ
coming along?" the reporter asked. "Because I heard The Toxins and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAHml4r6SA9p
BigBang had quiet a fun ride at Caribbean Bay the day before."968Please respect copyright.PENANA8qHaVvEdUH
Oh no. That question was clearly not necessary. Aargh! This was what I considered the inappropriate question.968Please respect copyright.PENANAREuDiZuUVf
"I don't see why you get968Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0yDlye1t5
to ask that," said Collins. "They went out to have fun and find a 968Please respect copyright.PENANAlR1u1LCnMn
source of inspiration for their song. And why not at Caribbean Bay? I 968Please respect copyright.PENANALDltxJ4Fb5
know Sam and Ji Yong were supposed to be here for the interview that 968Please respect copyright.PENANA0Lc4f6Xjhu
day, but apparently, you all came at the last minute when they had 968Please respect copyright.PENANA8D39485LTW
already made plans to go out."968Please respect copyright.PENANAiefJOujURB
I didn't know whether to968Please respect copyright.PENANAvh122SewKj
be impressed that Collins is such a good liar, or I should hug him at 968Please respect copyright.PENANAYrmGbJ2G2d
the end of the interview for saving our necks. That was such a close 968Please respect copyright.PENANAFh62vKloNb
call.968Please respect copyright.PENANAdKdYdX5Sna
"I think time is already up," said Yang Hyun-suk. "So, if you would kindly excuse us, we have other schedules to attend to."968Please respect copyright.PENANAZLGo5IuUnq
No reporter asked any 968Please respect copyright.PENANAWrnhNzZgNV
further questions, that meant all of this was over. Finally! I just 968Please respect copyright.PENANAMaFZWi4OWV
wanted to get out of here and breathe. I needed the air because things 968Please respect copyright.PENANAnev7xK3mnq
were starting to get a little intense in here.968Please respect copyright.PENANACFlld7OZep
When we all got up from 968Please respect copyright.PENANAjuLShHW4DV
our chairs to leave, I was backing away from my chair and the back of my968Please respect copyright.PENANANSHHufahCr
shoe got caught with one of the cable cords on the floor. Before I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAIkE2shlohc
realised it, I tripped and was falling backwards. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0OeDf5c1r
I almost screamed but before I could even reach the floor, G-Dragon caught me just in time. 968Please respect copyright.PENANACgGUQb6G2U
The camera lights in 968Please respect copyright.PENANAET03pG9d5i
front of us flashed like crazy because of the scene. And I couldn't help968Please respect copyright.PENANAIWn6DXEywP
but feel that all this just made things a whole lot worse.968Please respect copyright.PENANA2qX6nWgP83
G-Dragon and I were so 968Please respect copyright.PENANAeSE4p3uLtw
close and I couldn't help but blush when I looked up at him and he was 968Please respect copyright.PENANASpaWL9WPaH
staring down at me. I knew that he was still angry at me, but I wanted 968Please respect copyright.PENANA92Ogsh6aZl
to forget about that and I hoped he would too. We could both carry on 968Please respect copyright.PENANAenjhrtdhst
with our lives as if all that never happened.968Please respect copyright.PENANAtjA8ITtd4s
He quickly helped me to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAp68sMly6YR
straighten up as the camera lights continued to flash before us. I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAL347pZnjgJ
stared at G-Dragon and I realised that I was still blushing. I took a 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzPNNG2QnQC
strand of my hair behind my ear and cleared my throat.968Please respect copyright.PENANAbzXbDwXNX7
"Um, thanks, GD," I said to him.968Please respect copyright.PENANACigeM6jMd4
"You should be a little more careful next time," he replied.968Please respect copyright.PENANAil33M43lhz
I couldn't tell if he 968Please respect copyright.PENANAXDmX9ADL4n
said that because they were reporters around, or he really did care 968Please respect copyright.PENANANLaImp99wh
despite being mad at me. That, I'll never know.968Please respect copyright.PENANAw643pIrELz
The four of us walked 968Please respect copyright.PENANAasliCsFhVK
out of the conference room and I couldn't help but realise that I had 968Please respect copyright.PENANAwIiC6FC5sq
another challenge ahead now. And that was the song.968Please respect copyright.PENANAxdaswnp6rC
***968Please respect copyright.PENANAJsQyxmmFjq
"Sam, you were just awesome! Come here, you!" Zoey exclaimed as she ran towards me and pulled me into a tight hug.968Please respect copyright.PENANA5yvxX3BZEO
G-Dragon and I had just walked out of the conference room and Zoey appeared out of no where.968Please respect copyright.PENANAz3n0uNnYRC
"I thought you weren't supposed to be here," I said to Zoey, still embraced in her arms.968Please respect copyright.PENANAxvTQfUyJN9
"Well, ya," said Zoey as968Please respect copyright.PENANAyMMtqb3j9C
she pulled away from me. "I was watching the interview with the others 968Please respect copyright.PENANAP0LlD9ISYK
upstairs and when I saw how you defended me in front of those reporters,968Please respect copyright.PENANAnXYX9NkyC3
I decided to come down here."968Please respect copyright.PENANAOBgUfQpHOs
"You should have seen the way she came," said Lee. "If it wasn't for me, she would have come running into the conference room."968Please respect copyright.PENANA5K4fcw3JTG
"Zoey, what are you doing here?" came Collins' voice behind me. Yikes! Zoey was in for it now.968Please respect copyright.PENANAD4Cks50UNH
"I came for my best friend," said Zoey. "Is that bad?"968Please respect copyright.PENANA3TDuWPeJiW
"At the moment, yes," 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzf10tslrlI
said Collins. "Not when everyone now knows that it's all your fault that968Please respect copyright.PENANAX93flscooq
you released the video and made everyone have high hopes about Sam and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAZpVpKEKceh
G-Dragon's relationship. It was best to keep you out of plain site of 968Please respect copyright.PENANA52AmPa31q5
the reporters to keep them from asking any more questions."968Please respect copyright.PENANAVcOSYOjMcl
"Come on, Collins," said968Please respect copyright.PENANAkMo6ccvPRN
Zoey, shaking her head at her manager. "Don't you know up to now that 968Please respect copyright.PENANA1miXfqVJKy
whatever Sam says to the media everyone will listen and believe her? No 968Please respect copyright.PENANABNj2sEWbCi
one is going to be mad at me for long if not at all. You'll see."968Please respect copyright.PENANAL9ZUdFi780
"I don't get it," I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAQiA4W0YNaQ
said, with a confused look on my face. "Why do you say no one is going 968Please respect copyright.PENANAylU4SlAHPZ
to be mad at you because of what I said?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAMAr69PJ53i
"You told the media that968Please respect copyright.PENANAej622p1DGP
even though I made the video, it was partly not all my fault. If you 968Please respect copyright.PENANAxU2D77ULPW
want, Collins, you and I can bet on it. Everyone listens to Sam. She's 968Please respect copyright.PENANARjn62iP60R
like some high-rank public figure. If she were to run for president, she968Please respect copyright.PENANAj3Ct52cbc9
would be instated the very same day."968Please respect copyright.PENANA3v5h3SZmLb
Yang Hyun-suk, Lee, 968Please respect copyright.PENANAA1eGHqYLkc
G-Dragon and I laughed at Zoey's joke, except Collins. I knew he was 968Please respect copyright.PENANAKuk04zsHdi
pissed with what Zoey had said, but I had to admit, that was something 968Please respect copyright.PENANAENECF1qABA
even an angry person would laugh about.968Please respect copyright.PENANA5PBnTwbiEj
Speaking about angry 968Please respect copyright.PENANAkKoia3KasR
people, I turned over to G-Dragon who was still laughing. It felt good 968Please respect copyright.PENANALTlQHsooBN
to see him laugh and I smiled. But very soon, he will be back to the way968Please respect copyright.PENANAqu8xot0lTb
he was. Just the thought of that made me swell up with sadness that I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAE9qPgPDOiL
even had to face the other way so that no one would notice it all over 968Please respect copyright.PENANA0jyUi7ejBk
my face.968Please respect copyright.PENANAnhUpeILgnj
"Zoey is one person you 968Please respect copyright.PENANAihff5kHup1
should never throw away in your life, Collins," said Yang Hyun-suk, 968Please respect copyright.PENANA5fLXnsSiVr
holding Collins' shoulder with a bit of laughter on his face. "She's 968Please respect copyright.PENANANvdjQWVINs
just hilarious."968Please respect copyright.PENANATyLoqS4zDq
"Ya, she's one of a kind," said G-Dragon.968Please respect copyright.PENANAVhzjDkBpsz
"Ah, and how could I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAoc5S8FoSvg
forget about my lovely G-Dragon," said Zoey, as she came to stand beside968Please respect copyright.PENANAlP35u8ERr3
G-Dragon and hooked her hand around his elbow. "You looked awesome 968Please respect copyright.PENANAluR1jGvx1h
today. And handsome too."968Please respect copyright.PENANApceqKwgvWD
"Wow, looks like Sam was right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "You do admire G-Dragon."968Please respect copyright.PENANAc51HUTE5WE
"Ya, no one knows me better than Sam," said Zoey with a grin. "If it were possible, I would gladly have dated G-Dragon."968Please respect copyright.PENANAu8pP8djU1O
"Don't even think about it," said Collins, pointing a finger at Zoey.968Please respect copyright.PENANAG2yGnwKJvW
"I know. 'We're here 968Please respect copyright.PENANAFO0CgXFP2e
just to collaborate with BigBang, yadda, yadda, that means no dating 968Please respect copyright.PENANATR9Oibw7Dt
anyone of them.' I still remember that rule," said Zoey rolling her 968Please respect copyright.PENANANayUxNrtZ0
eyes.968Please respect copyright.PENANA3aMRtDGOoG
"Sometimes I wish I could kill you," said Collins, shaking his head.968Please respect copyright.PENANA5wlfV15DdK
"But you can't, because you love me just as I love you, Collins," said Zoey, with a huge grin on her face.968Please respect copyright.PENANAgX7orPg2V6
"Hilarious," said Yang 968Please respect copyright.PENANALnJ05rAbGf
Hyun-suk. "We better get going. You three have to get that song ready, 968Please respect copyright.PENANArxQPLq3KRz
while we, have other things to attend to."968Please respect copyright.PENANAAVMIgZeJuz
Oh, the song. For a 968Please respect copyright.PENANAkqQCfkxFPe
moment, I never wanted Yang Hyun-suk or anyone else to mention it. I 968Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z1ZAyFcfC
felt my heart beat faster and I felt like judgement day had finally 968Please respect copyright.PENANAxzi42vhdc4
come.968Please respect copyright.PENANAn8MZpomGQm
We all found ourselves 968Please respect copyright.PENANABHzXzd1Yho
in the elevator and I was quiet the whole way. The two managers were 968Please respect copyright.PENANAQ609Dw3DFY
busy talking about something important, while Lee, G-Dragon and Zoey 968Please respect copyright.PENANAvDvdOp9eLA
were talking about the interview.968Please respect copyright.PENANAgcr5qa5dBs
When the elevator 968Please respect copyright.PENANAQLzyqhVRLn
stopped, Zoey, G-Dragon and I got out and we dropped off on the floor to968Please respect copyright.PENANAent2zuQyMN
the recording studios. Our managers and Lee continued on their way 968Please respect copyright.PENANAYEeG2rHFEr
upwards in the elevator probably heading for Yang Hyun-suk's office.968Please respect copyright.PENANAm19tCSF7Hi
While the three of us 968Please respect copyright.PENANAYRl3RSeE1Z
walked along the hallway, heading for one of the rooms, I couldn't help 968Please respect copyright.PENANAP5oJACbXu5
but fall behind G-Dragon and Zoey as the two walked ahead of me 968Please respect copyright.PENANAAZVjIecWSQ
alongside each other. The two were so deep in their own little 968Please respect copyright.PENANAIJTEejzzH5
conversation, I didn't feel like listening or joining them. At that 968Please respect copyright.PENANAhGjo9j3RYt
point, I felt like I didn't matter.968Please respect copyright.PENANAhBJuyyuzmM
We found ourselves in one of the recording studio rooms and we found all our group members waiting for us.968Please respect copyright.PENANAHAARDE6Cqh
"You're back!" Christine968Please respect copyright.PENANAyFGvkqLnMk
ran towards us, coming straight for me and pulling me into a hug. "You 968Please respect copyright.PENANAPDmaa7DXzZ
were so brave standing up for Zoey like that."968Please respect copyright.PENANAVRum5uOCau
"You know I don't like interviews," I said, trying to put up a smile. "I was actually scared."968Please respect copyright.PENANAZYREcLkcIJ
"You didn't seem that way," said Taeyang. "You looked very calm as though you knew what you were doing."968Please respect copyright.PENANAD7vnEXLCPF
"And you also looked very pretty," said TOP, giving me a wink.968Please respect copyright.PENANAxAklsM0u7W
"Um, th-thanks," I said while my cheeks blushed after Christine had pulled away from me.968Please respect copyright.PENANAbVrBIQQ8Dh
"Ya, you're looking 968Please respect copyright.PENANAZbSPmSo1Tl
prettier even now," said Seungri, staring at me with dreamy eyes. "I 968Please respect copyright.PENANA9B41phbt4p
would've come down there in the conference room and kissed you in front 968Please respect copyright.PENANAza7mRJrGoX
of the whole world."968Please respect copyright.PENANAvx1WKICyOt
Daesung who stood beside968Please respect copyright.PENANAl6ZphtglI0
him slapped him on the shoulder. Seungri whined in pain while he held 968Please respect copyright.PENANAuZlwrbc6S9
his shoulder and stared at Daesung.968Please respect copyright.PENANADxCW3iK5wG
"What?" Seungri asked. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAFWdwU1UC57
"You only want to cause trouble, do you? You should learn to respect Sam, you know," said Daesung.968Please respect copyright.PENANAbzq344Y8YY
I couldn't help but get the feeling that Daesung was a little jealous. I couldn't help but smile to myself.968Please respect copyright.PENANA3sHpg8n1wC
"Hello! Isn't anyone going to talk about the little scene that happened at the end of the interview?" Daniel asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANAL5zZiNNyN7
"Oh, the part where 968Please respect copyright.PENANAzY75CGdWuM
G-Dragon saves Sam from falling?" Zoey asked. "If you're worried that 968Please respect copyright.PENANA0TrDqwl0ny
people would find that romantic, I highly doubt it."968Please respect copyright.PENANAvYYFa7kCpm
Highly doubt it? If 968Please respect copyright.PENANAn65fCuHGva
Daniel was thinking the same way I had earlier, people would start to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAlnEbQXZ6Ly
make up a love story that barely even existed.968Please respect copyright.PENANAKVddCl72fC
"Well, fans do like to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAc89fQaT7SC
make out a love story out of small things," said Taeyang, scratching his968Please respect copyright.PENANAh50TfJ0ssw
head. "I wouldn't be surprised if that happens."968Please respect copyright.PENANA9m105YsmWF
Oh, no. Looked like 968Please respect copyright.PENANAcoOXvx6I7Y
Taeyang was also on this one too. I wished for someone to change the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAANbcjiFINa
subject. This was starting to feel awkward, especially with G-Dragon 968Please respect copyright.PENANAhkpBFkvoTn
standing right in front of me.968Please respect copyright.PENANAqhC11iLjsU
I stared at G-Dragon and968Please respect copyright.PENANAibCmMhiRZZ
I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't want to hear a 968Please respect copyright.PENANAKtDyuARC5Y
single word concerning love stories. We had other serious things to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAZySfhNbF5m
think about.968Please respect copyright.PENANAMYSirkuO74
"Can we drop that for 968Please respect copyright.PENANA4pmFesiwDK
now and focus on the song instead?" G-Dragon suggested. "We don't have 968Please respect copyright.PENANAsyG3Tcwq0O
much time and we need to work on it right away."968Please respect copyright.PENANAWv1uQxc8GT
"GD's right," I said. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAi0tIOBY1x0
"We all saw the reporter ask on how much progress we've made and Collins968Please respect copyright.PENANAzdJpKF9Xrx
made an effort to cover for us. So, for the sake of our managers, let's968Please respect copyright.PENANARVok9cVJNm
get to work."968Please respect copyright.PENANAvc9IfVhuXk
"But we have to vote again, remember?" TOP reminded us. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAv7x2QYcq4G
Everyone fell silent and968Please respect copyright.PENANAC730D6fCQy
the room felt awkward. It was like the ghost of yesterday still haunted968Please respect copyright.PENANA41KOjazXNf
us even now. Again, I still felt like it was all my fault.968Please respect copyright.PENANAZXz6FqzP32
"Well, we all agreed yesterday to vote again," said G-Dragon. "So let's get settled and get this over with."968Please respect copyright.PENANAOL3r8o4QhT
When everyone went to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAmq7XjoeQYK
settle down on the black leather seats, I stood on the same spot, deep 968Please respect copyright.PENANAQk1GAGKvti
in thought. Was all of this worth it? The last thing I wanted was for 968Please respect copyright.PENANACYAzR0JWzk
all of us to be divided because of my stupid suggestion. Maybe I was 968Please respect copyright.PENANAUwBDg35VKy
wrong this whole time and I shouldn't have done all of this in the first968Please respect copyright.PENANAiKzGyzgA6b
place.968Please respect copyright.PENANAfTW0ptmTbc
"Hey, Sam are you alright?" TOP asked. "You seem troubled."968Please respect copyright.PENANAxhnAkWvVi5
I came back to reality and I saw everyone staring at me with worried looks on their faces, except G-Dragon.968Please respect copyright.PENANAy8Vz50yXGR
"Sam, are you okay?" Zoey asked when I didn't answer. "Something is up and you don't look so good. Tell us. What's wrong?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAynfwzTDyvO
I still didn't say a 968Please respect copyright.PENANA8CnbOFymBb
word as I played around with my fingers. I took in a deep breath and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAxAz5ppVGKd
breathed out with my eyes closed, clenching my hands into fists. When I 968Please respect copyright.PENANA6UemssW8yd
opened my eyes, I looked on at the others and said:968Please respect copyright.PENANAKn8aNsadAM
"This voting thing is 968Please respect copyright.PENANAatF5kliYVW
pointless. I take back what I said yesterday. It's for the best if 968Please respect copyright.PENANAAn90NNiZMY
G-Dragon and I work on the lyrics for the song instead."968Please respect copyright.PENANARk736da9wX
Again, the room fell 968Please respect copyright.PENANALy2b5U0zUF
into an awkward silence. Everyone's eyes were on me and they looked 968Please respect copyright.PENANAdCTd2i8sZQ
surprised, except for G-Dragon. I couldn't tell whether he was smirking 968Please respect copyright.PENANAZbJLlJdh1e
or he decided to play stoic for a change.968Please respect copyright.PENANAgy6Do3ZmrD
"Wait, what?" Daniel asked. "Why?"968Please respect copyright.PENANA8N4jcYeWG0
"Because, Daniel, 968Please respect copyright.PENANAY0vdoskaLT
nothing is going to change," I said, looking at my brother. "The same 968Please respect copyright.PENANAhjDLhpiF1A
thing will happen even today when we vote. It will end up in a tie 968Please respect copyright.PENANAhMpODN00ci
again. So, what's the point? I bet a lot of you have thought of it the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAjHeTNrMBjf
same way, haven't you?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAJrVXgcObq1
No one said a word as they all looked at each other, apart from G-Dragon, who still had his eyes on me.968Please respect copyright.PENANAE2RxaQ6KC5
"I think it's best this 968Please respect copyright.PENANAVPZCZKKnOb
way," I said, grabbing everyone's attention again. "We're going nowhere 968Please respect copyright.PENANAxoCLHDADXJ
like this and I should have realised it sooner."968Please respect copyright.PENANAdKLf2tiFZy
"Well, it's about time you came to your senses," said G-Dragon.968Please respect copyright.PENANAWvWKzCtKmF
I felt like I had been given a slap on the face. And OUCH! It hurt like hell. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAqan5i3u3p0
"That's a little harsh, don't you think?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANAFtWXr58iHP
"Well, it's true, isn't it?" G-Dragon asked, with his eyebrows raised.968Please respect copyright.PENANAIU8fBQNy35
"Well, at least I'm bold enough to even admit that I was wrong."968Please respect copyright.PENANA5smaw2FyAm
"And you want me to give you credit for that, Samantha?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAyOxPZhiXoo
Samantha? Really? He 968Please respect copyright.PENANA3Dlzu7KrCI
called me by my full name. Okay, it was clear he was still mad, but he 968Please respect copyright.PENANAoO343YNJXY
shouldn't be expressing his anger in front of everyone else like that. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAoHoPa4xVYK
He should be doing it to me and me alone. I was ready for what's to 968Please respect copyright.PENANAM6nEsCkFnL
come, but not with our group members around.968Please respect copyright.PENANAKKIMK4F4V8
"I don't think we should argue here," I said. "Why don't we go some place else and talk?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAd8GLesUt1q
"And why should we?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAtODKlGwfGZ
"It's not right and you know it. If you want to get personal with me, at least do it with no one around."968Please respect copyright.PENANAbBAfcTOwOm
"Oh, and now you're trying to play the good girl trying not to hurt anyone else?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAD5lrdQjT8U
"That's what I'm meant to do, GD. This isn't right."968Please respect copyright.PENANAQO2srEoSdy
"Sorry, Sam, but I'm 968Please respect copyright.PENANAwq9Wb4f4aQ
rather comfortable here," G-Dragon leaned back on the chair with his 968Please respect copyright.PENANAyaoP0HBxbL
hands behind his head and crossing his leg above the other.968Please respect copyright.PENANAFjb96KlR81
I shook my head in 968Please respect copyright.PENANAt2q7VOCTie
disbelief. G-Dragon was totally unbelievable. Right now, I wasn't sure 968Please respect copyright.PENANAtAGxbQn2R6
whether to hate him or just feel sorry for him.968Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xfvqd8iUb
"Fine, then we'll stay here then," I said.968Please respect copyright.PENANAyTUcjmNHPW
"That's more like it," said G-Dragon, with a smirk on his face. 968Please respect copyright.PENANAfy7kzgSKsU
"You're so stubborn," I rolled my eyes at him.968Please respect copyright.PENANA4cBoHemMgK
"Ya, well, I was born this way."968Please respect copyright.PENANAd3SZN47o0y
"Can we please start working on the song now?" I asked. "It seems like we don't have much time left."968Please respect copyright.PENANAmZWIW4Gail
"Okay, let's start."968Please respect copyright.PENANAPCo1zLlpJa
"Umm, sorry to interfere968Please respect copyright.PENANA3WEJQulZ7k
in all of this, but are you serious right now?" Zoey asked, looking 968Please respect copyright.PENANAMu8HeIUCjX
surprised and confused at the same time.968Please respect copyright.PENANAMywi9Kmkr0
"What's wrong?" G-Dragon asked, shrugging his shoulders.968Please respect copyright.PENANASOg3mpXt8q
"I don't know if you are968Please respect copyright.PENANAbbp8lLn2qk
seeing this, but you two look like you're about to tear each other's 968Please respect copyright.PENANAmLkqMpRvIU
throats out. Doesn't that bother you? And you want to work on the song 968Please respect copyright.PENANAFMPQpf3Wb8
together? Today?"968Please respect copyright.PENANACQLSNqZ8U2
Zoey was right. What was happening now looked more like the beginning of World War III, if not the end of the world.968Please respect copyright.PENANAY6rNle2kXA
"I'm sorry, Zoey," I said. "But do we have a choice?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAXS9YDunydI
"Well, I have one. Why 968Please respect copyright.PENANAtsmmHxUDcI
don't you two take a break from each other? You're scaring me and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAmCaC1D1mmx
probably the whole lot of us too. Why don't you two cool down and work 968Please respect copyright.PENANANFcm0oHYtX
on the song tomorrow?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAeuR1xUcOQO
"Zoey's right," said Taeyang. "You two need to chill out. You both seem angry at each other."968Please respect copyright.PENANAiOTSyYxPNQ
"I'm not the angry one, he is," I said, pointing my finger at G-Dragon. "I'm just being reasonable!"968Please respect copyright.PENANAe1mLvauLyv
"I know, Sam. You've 968Please respect copyright.PENANAS5pCL5O2Zo
both agreed to work on the song together, but you can't go on like this.968Please respect copyright.PENANAIj5xHO9IkT
Who knows what may happen if we leave you two alone."968Please respect copyright.PENANATxmyHKXWa9
"Tae is right," said Mike. "I don't want to go back home with your beheaded dead body. Mum will kill us."968Please respect copyright.PENANAqeDrqeYrcM
"Okay, fine," I said, rubbing my temples and taking a deep breath. "You're right. Even I can't work like this."968Please respect copyright.PENANAkSB8aC8ZTK
I tried to calm myself 968Please respect copyright.PENANAoegjhRllrZ
down, trying to clear my head. I let my anger get the better of me. In 968Please respect copyright.PENANAN8zKQYA8S2
fact, I couldn't tell if all this was anger or I was just annoyed 968Please respect copyright.PENANAvSmhEIPrLz
because G-Dragon was acting bigheaded.968Please respect copyright.PENANAkfO6sNGPKV
"Looks like we will work968Please respect copyright.PENANAlYcP5b8j0E
on it tomorrow then," said G-Dragon as he slowly got up from his seat. 968Please respect copyright.PENANA8RTj87VZbE
And with his hands in the pockets of his jeans, he slowly walked towards968Please respect copyright.PENANAT7BwP1xzBa
me.968Please respect copyright.PENANAv9GuUlz0da
The last thing I wanted 968Please respect copyright.PENANAAHqUxPyAE9
was a face to face confrontation with him because if he was going to do 968Please respect copyright.PENANA7r3s398HIu
or say something funny, I didn't know what I was going to do. But no. I 968Please respect copyright.PENANAMe3ErQWHpZ
wasn't going to let my anger get the better of me again. I didn't want 968Please respect copyright.PENANAVqOaSypDYk
to be angry at him. If there was anyone to be angry at, it was myself.968Please respect copyright.PENANA9ACL7TAZ5q
G-Dragon came close and 968Please respect copyright.PENANAEq5qRLhC4S
he stared at me with his intimidating eyes. At first, those eyes used to968Please respect copyright.PENANAsqtWWBTerN
make me melt like jelly, but now, I couldn't tell where that feeling 968Please respect copyright.PENANAear8espKUq
went. Maybe it's because those eyes weren't there to intimidate but they968Please respect copyright.PENANAxLijCktaMQ
were full of anger too.968Please respect copyright.PENANA86O2tL9gVg
He stopped a few inches 968Please respect copyright.PENANAHADiCXbcZP
away from me and I didn't back away. Earlier on, I would. But this time,968Please respect copyright.PENANA2GAmVV4OT1
I wasn't afraid anymore. I was tired of being scared.968Please respect copyright.PENANAWE24xb7Lo7
"We'll meet tomorrow soon after practise, capish?" G-Dragon asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANAp88DAtJ5qW
"Capish," I replied, without any hint of emotion.968Please respect copyright.PENANAyHzjVYiLhS
"Good. You better get some aspirin and rest. It looks like your head is about to explode and we don't want that, do we?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAB2xG55fEu1
"No, we don't."968Please respect copyright.PENANAbMOHMmILwe
"That's my little 968Please respect copyright.PENANA3b9XtxwSuH
kitty." G-Dragon smiled at me and walked away, our shoulders brushing 968Please respect copyright.PENANAIWqG2kLVLx
each other, and he went out through the door.968Please respect copyright.PENANAviI9mBhscH
"Well, that was close," said TOP. "For a second, I thought this whole place was about to blow up."968Please respect copyright.PENANAd88bEvXw5f
"Ya, I thought I was going to watch a Mortal Kombart fight," said Mike.968Please respect copyright.PENANATGCqV6EwL8
"Seriously? You're 968Please respect copyright.PENANALmGtzrxXgr
bringing Mortal Kombart into this?" I asked Mike with my eyebrow raised.968Please respect copyright.PENANAo7SPII3nY1
Somehow, I wanted to laugh at the joke, but I couldn't.968Please respect copyright.PENANAnOYzTkXWdq
"Come to think of it," 968Please respect copyright.PENANAYB4D09U9Dx
said Zoey, staring at Mike. "You're right. Remind me of those two 968Please respect copyright.PENANAWEPrJMQlwH
characters that hate each other so much."968Please respect copyright.PENANA6ejWcAIHsP
"Scorpion and Subzero," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.PENANA2dIMoJLrqw
"So, in this case, Scorpion is G-Dragon," said Seungri, who seemed to be enjoying himself with this.968Please respect copyright.PENANAuo9Wml5JZL
"Ya, it suits him since Scorpion and dragon kind of go together because of fire," said Daesung.968Please respect copyright.PENANAJkSnmp1swQ
"Guys, are you seriously listening to yourselves right now?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANAHIm8AGFTRu
But no one answered me as they continued their Mortal Kombart fantasy.968Please respect copyright.PENANAun5R7RUnwv
"And Sam is Subzero," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.PENANASvyNPztUPs
"Ya, because she is all cool and chilled like ice and doesn't crack under pressure," said TOP.968Please respect copyright.PENANAsLdQD8D3Db
"True, but also because Subzero is her favourite Mortal Kombart character," said Christine.968Please respect copyright.PENANAnXkqfx16ab
"Oh, ya, I forgot about that," said Mike.968Please respect copyright.PENANA3dMGpOAQrG
This was getting ridiculous and I shook my head in disbelief.968Please respect copyright.PENANAodtwe5yntI
"So this whole thing is like a fire and ice relationship?" Taeyang asked.968Please respect copyright.PENANAEFzeAWEldm
Oh great! Not Taeyang too! The argument G-Dragon and I had created a story in these guy's heads.968Please respect copyright.PENANAGSv8b3MS0G
"Ya, I'm already 968Please respect copyright.PENANAfAX37GV2RK
imagining it," said Zoey, staring off into a distance, obviously in her 968Please respect copyright.PENANAeMzRms39o7
imagination. "G-Dragon and Sam, like Scorpion and Subzero."968Please respect copyright.PENANA3mgcKMQQlH
"Ya, I can imagine it too," said Mike, also staring off into a distance.968Please respect copyright.PENANAQV2MhcHdD1
"Sam looks so hot in her Subzero outfit," said Seungri, also deep in thought and biting his lower lip.968Please respect copyright.PENANAh8RK95ilry
"So hot," said TOP, nodding his head absent mindley.968Please respect copyright.PENANADuQpjD2IQK
"So does GD in Scorpion's outfit," said Zoey.968Please respect copyright.PENANAPRkQ1lgWmM
"Ya, their relationship is now like fire and ice," said Daesung. "Let's just see who wins."968Please respect copyright.PENANAsrOi4NlIPs
As I watched the others 968Please respect copyright.PENANAezDMMrJwWj
share out their silly ideas of how the fight would turn out, I couldn't 968Please respect copyright.PENANAre41Fz7yWU
help but realise that they were right. Right now, GD and I weren't okay 968Please respect copyright.PENANAhNr7MP6R6I
at all. To the outside world, we were friends, but to ourselves and our 968Please respect copyright.PENANAQJuW4r3rv5
closet friends, we weren't. One moment we were smiling at each other but968Please respect copyright.PENANAJ45exovS5x
soon afterwards we were fighting again.968Please respect copyright.PENANAbCjhXsxrSV
I didn't know how all 968Please respect copyright.PENANApdBDNcFbkH
this was going to end, but if G-Dragon and I didn't resolve our issue 968Please respect copyright.PENANAZkgZbkAw3o
soon, we might not just hurt each other but also the people around us, 968Please respect copyright.PENANAiowUQuqt1q
especially our group members. And I wasn't going to let that happen.968Please respect copyright.PENANA2HENh3dWNS
If that was the case, I 968Please respect copyright.PENANASydcQKoj6J
had to win this no matter what. I didn't care if I was going to end up 968Please respect copyright.PENANAuaKWMJZuFL
getting burnt. I created this mess and I had to fix it no matter the 968Please respect copyright.PENANAug7Dq6k2rd
cost. Even if it meant I had to play along like the others. That 968Please respect copyright.PENANAGHm5HDZ3dy
G-Dragon is Scorpion and I am Subzero.968Please respect copyright.PENANA1dv7LXyyFV
That he is fire and I am ice.
