I was jolted awake by 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZCB0BDAnWU
the sound of the alarm. With my hand, I lazily stretched out for the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAKLlzlor3O
alarm clock on the lamp stand beside my bed. When I managed to turn it 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGvMMQFObJ3
off and closed my eyes just to get a few minutes of sleep, I felt 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1L6rC5o6cZ
someone jump on top of me. It happened so suddenly that I thought I was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3GmZFM1hSP
being attacked. My eyes flew open by the sudden surprise and the weight 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAD2xkTTOeyD
of the person on me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANADM6rl043yp
"Wakey, wakey, my little1171Please respect copyright.PENANAInfeRj3TWD
kitty!" Zoey shook me as she was still on top of me. She soon stood up 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAG0GkoABz0Q
on the bed and started to jump up and down in her pink pyjamas. I was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAX0NT5QCBHU
bouncing along with the mattress and I quickly sat up. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXBE1RVFAXc
"May you please stop jumping like a three year old!" I scolded at her, as I tried to rub off the sleep in my eyes.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMYtGaYdpAJ
"Sorry, but your alarm 1171Please respect copyright.PENANArW656rw3Pa
rang and I wanted to wake you up," said Zoey as she stopped bouncing on 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWPKbblX0dA
the bed. "We have a big day today!"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwXSm1az6oO
"Couldn't you at least 1171Please respect copyright.PENANABA1AyvczzR
give me a few minutes of sleep?" I asked, almost moaning. "I still need 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtvJoAuSgeL
some. Besides, you're never up when the alarm rings and you wake up 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgIFxmTEh9B
thirty minutes afterwards. What's up with you today?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJj4bBrDknO
"Ah, dah! We have a fan signing event today," said Zoey as she continued to look down on me while rolling her eyes.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgriIkQfoy6
"Oh, I forgot." I said, putting up a smile.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAViz9S2fSBM
"You should really learn to stop being sarcastic," said Zoey, as she folded her arms.1171Please respect copyright.PENANALWXhL9O7y2
"What can I do? It's a part of me," I said with a smirk.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAaaO5kWv2yI
"Okay, now get up. Your 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5wZdne2Ev2
sarcasm isn't the issue. We need to go get ready." Zoey jumped off the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAf5eKatx9N0
bed to the floor and she turned to face me, pulling away my bed covers. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAiJHG8lbrH9
It was clearly a sign that she wanted me up and I did so anyway. I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ut5ZROfvp
didn't want to have a pillow fight with her early in the morning.1171Please respect copyright.PENANALplkcXshDk
"You can go on ahead and use the shower," said Zoey. "We need to be quick, you know?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANApOpIobtnpd
"We don't even know at what time the event is going to start and you're making such a big deal of it," I said, folding my arms.1171Please respect copyright.PENANABNMXXHtgIK
"Sometimes you're so 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgHivsYbSrs
behind in life I wonder if you ever have a phone." Zoey rolled her eyes 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVbAMfZby3E
at me and she went over to her bed to get her phone.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0oPV3gBEWC
"The fan signing event 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPU2G9ljapO
just came up at the last minute but they made sure they posted the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAaMVvFYQkhU
information about the event and when it's going to take place on 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pb0ukCVbo
Facebook and Twitter," said Zoey, as she scrolled down her phone. When 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAo2b221b2W9
she found what she was looking for, she gave her phone to me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAaNMcojLlVZ
I took her phone and I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXYSbVqWDgf
felt like slapping myself. The fan signing event was advertised on 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPd6iVIxdPF
Facebook just like Zoey had told me. I haven't been checking up on 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAH0ay9AOw76
what's going on online these past two days because I needed some alone 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjQAF06yLst
time and not read critics about me. I really didn't care what people 1171Please respect copyright.PENANApEg6FXu1sl
said out there. It's just that being famous was kind of tough and that 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA91jIW9wCMG
shouldn't change who I was. I was one person who didn't like all the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEQRlLUr3xE
attention as you already know. I draw in energy by being alone and being1171Please respect copyright.PENANAykK4zfNEbw
stuck in my own little world. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANATGRENoP21m
"It says here that the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0cJUkOhhhm
event will start an hour before noon," I said as I looked up from Zoey's1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwRb5KIObX4
phone. "And this is just seven in the morning. Again, I'm actually 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9XWlJeKIpb
shocked you're up this early."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAifBe71Ogu7
"Aren't you that excited1171Please respect copyright.PENANACh7mc6MjXN
to meet your Korean fans up close?" Zoey asked as she held my shoulders1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGMSvocQR2M
and shook me. "And also, I can't wait for our surprise. I wonder what 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAbOWAf1Wwqf
it could be."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXMw92IYyhB
"I'm happy about meeting our fans, but I'm scared about the surprise."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4gfvnu8OFL
"Since when has a surprise ever been scary?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAhKob9xdANE
"Ever since I got weird 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgAoEsSR8Wd
vibes about it when our managers told us. They should have kept it a 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAu63uqWNsmZ
secret instead of telling us that there would be a surprise."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGRs5zFb5YO
"I think you're being paranoid for no good reason."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAT1OJYLmvYg
"Tell me when my intuition has ever been wrong, Zoey?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYLhMqx4OKJ
Zoey looked up at the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPU5RoTWy0u
ceiling and furrowed her eyebrows deep in thought. I couldn't help but 1171Please respect copyright.PENANARAdoQVAIN5
smile at her expression. These were the times when I enjoyed being 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8DS5rAHaxE
right.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA42zyzjviIn
"Okay, I give up," said 1171Please respect copyright.PENANARdLu6SJxHc
Zoey raising her hands in defeat. "You win, as always. But what makes 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqsjP1UijwA
you think there would be something weird about our surprise?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfhHfo5w6V9
"I don't know," I said as I sat down on my bed. "Maybe it's because I feel it has something to do with me." 1171Please respect copyright.PENANANcYrh3N1mO
"Mmmm," Zoey tapped her 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlnMVcMsQcn
chin as she paced up and down in front of me. "Your birthday is coming 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAubCQxKUVlg
up in September, so that's like four months away and I don't think it's 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6hUhZrLfXX
anyway related to that."1171Please respect copyright.PENANASt3YIOgdty
"Seriously? You're counting in my birthday?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4bmjnPWiWy
"I'm counting all the odds of a surprise, Sam."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5yvH9FzLmo
I couldn't help but 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAs8p2yvPosp
sigh. I knew Zoey was my best friend and the last thing I wanted was to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkT1813Cnuz
blurt out to her that she was acting dumb. She usually does, but that 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3AXy9dymZX
didn't mean she could come up with good ideas too.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjcRjqPpHrp
"Well, it can't be a surprise birthday gift in advance," I said. "Think of something else."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVUNuseGTha
"You're right," Zoey kept on pacing. "What could it be?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIzP0Lthn9s
A few minutes later, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6AWEm2ufkg
there was a knock at the door and I went to open it while Zoey continued1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUbACTsTFGU
to pace back and forth. I opened the door and I found Christine also in1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ614F2Img
her pyjamas with her sleeping gown on. Looked like she just got out of 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuzZBChd20u
bed and she still had sleep in her eyes just like I had moments earlier.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzM1GDvZwyc
"Hey, morning," said Christine as she found herself in our room. "What's up with Zoey?" She asked as she noticed Zoey pacing.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxh0PFqEmGK
"Trying to solve my paranoia," I answered bluntly as I came to stand close to Christine.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQPJLhHA6TX
"Paranoia? What paranoia?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAucyEAZ9G17
"I told her that I didn't feel right about our surprise. She thinks I'm being paranoid."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuDMHeSvMTp
"Maybe you're," said Christine as she yawned.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIurDxi6Hof
"Ya, right. Where is Lee?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAoRrAtPW6nx
"She left really early today. I woke up and she wasn't in the room."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAp3YTIyDKRU
"Looks like they are getting ready for the event. We also have to start getting ready too."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAibw53r8Z0Z
"Ya, sure. Come on, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlFRqDlm1Z6
Zoey," Christine called out to her. "Stop trying to find out what the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJT54rXG0NO
surprise could be and get ready. It's best if we see it ourselves."1171Please respect copyright.PENANABV7IosPW8X
"Well, I just find it 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAailYWLwbu2
weird," said Zoey as she stopped pacing and looked at Christine and I. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtEBHL3lV8j
"Why would they announce that there would be a surprise if it was best 1171Please respect copyright.PENANASbZoSA4ZBy
if they kept it a secret?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQkdUwbAme6
I almost slapped myself 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAz90VrKdAI4
on the forehead but I dared not to as I continued to stare at Zoey, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAb0L8wwAEJB
hoping she would not read the expression on my face. Hadn't I suggested 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEXY53j18SY
that minutes ago?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHIO4KvRhJ8
"To make you both paranoid and stupid," Christine answered as she stared at me and then at Zoey.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqn8e4FgqYX
"Hey! I'm not stupid!" Zoey wailed, looking offended.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPCP8Lm6uSW
"And I'm not paranoid!" I snapped. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8P0aCbZhgz
"Well, you're acting that way," said Christine.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA73XEIhfyXv
"Never mind," I said, rolling my eyes. "Wake up the boys when you go out, will you?" I asked as I turned to address Christine.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeh2xF0ZnSh
"Okey dokey," said 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9NxykCEyjn
Christine as she headed for the door. Just as Christine opened the door,1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9tmvaSGEGz
Mike and Daniel stood right there ready to knock.1171Please respect copyright.PENANArAQn0KRYFe
"Hey, we were just about to knock on the door to wake you guys up," said Mike.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2eW3GDnQb7
"Is everyone that 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQMOEVbJ5pa
anxious today apart from me?" I asked. "You guys are never up this early1171Please respect copyright.PENANAiSx2qQnUri
if we aren't going for dance practice."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFyo8Fqtx9F
"Looks like we are," 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAL7isIY5CIP
said Daniel as he and Mike entered the room. "What's up with you 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWUgriPSRMf
anyway?" Daniel asked me. "Why aren't you that excited?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8c6s1dglfD
"Because she doesn't like what she feels about the surprise," Zoey blurted out.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFk5rgtPJ3D
"Don't mind me and my 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8wLwFoaVmX
intuitions," I said. "Let's all go and prepare ourselves for the event. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAs7mVFcABdb
I'm really not in the mood to start discussing why I feel this way."1171Please respect copyright.PENANACXMXqcKlkb
"Oh, please tell us, oh,1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJp7pRnXiJf
wise one!" Daniel mocked me as he gave me a playful bow. He looked like1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgXVt34iTtr
a monk bowing to a god in his blue pyjamas and robe. I huffed at him in1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8xbGKDIQDQ
annoyance. I always hated it when my brothers referred to me as the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0kQKMaYlqB
"wise one". As much as my gut feeling or I can say my intuition were 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYvKFicwPfg
always right, they always called me that and I hated it.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAISeVPdHPyq
"Can you guys please, leave the room?" I asked, as I rubbed my forehead trying to control my frustration.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQGAzjFeNe6
"Oh, no! These guys aren't leaving until you tell them what you told me," said Zoey.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKJbFagNWye
This can't be happening. It was early in the morning and we were already discussing something as silly as this.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2bdso2b7gT
"Spill the beans, Sam," Mike insisted. "Tell us what you told Zoey."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hgs0YUwtq
"It's not important 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgqBMjZM5Uw
guys," I said. "If I were you, I would be hitting the showers. And in 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAz1Rz3LJTRv
fact, that's what I'm going to do right now."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlMwIPXIMYJ
I started to walk past 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeJVoseUzqa
Christine, Daniel and Mike heading for the bathroom. But before I could 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAhNUASxJo8C
even reach the door, Zoey, who I had left standing behind me a few 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuRyg9InjV9
seconds ago, went diagonal across the room, jumped on her bed and she 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4RAJPgLxY8
found herself blocking the entrance of the bathroom. For a moment, I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZTb35VAXDJ
thought she just dashed like The Flash. But I realised that was too good1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9bilT81xz1
to be true.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA00L7QpnNiI
"Zoey, get out of the way," I insisted.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzjgPFsRJRH
"Well, look who is all 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzV6VjRIG30
prepared to get ready for the fan signing event," said Zoey as she 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAR99hLes87T
leaned her head to the side, with her eyes squarely fixed on me. "A 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3TaD3GQ9TX
while ago, you weren't even ready to go to the bathroom to get ready. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5LoxkSvPuf
What's happened now?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdg09M0HuxK
"Zoey, come on, this is just ridiculous," I rolled my eyes at her. "We aren't doing this right now."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOEfoKFMTdo
"Ya, we're," Zoey nodded her head. "Now, tell everyone what you told me about the surprise."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8P8AhSGrHd
"Ya, now I'm more than curious," said Daniel. "What's about the surprise that's got you so paranoid?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOPPcPDj5qd
"I'm not paranoid," I said. I felt like I was repeating the sentence like the millionth time today and I was frustrated.1171Please respect copyright.PENANARaWEu8XbQ2
I turned to face the others and said, "I feel this surprise is related to me."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAu9XpEvjGuC
Christine, Mike and Daniel's mouth fell open as they looked at me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAicoOA40s4S
"That's what you're worried about?" Mike asked. "Isn't that a good thing? I would be happy if I were you."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkrWFEp2i8y
"I wonder what's wrong 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnbjLIgQAi9
with you sometimes, Sam," said Christine. "Instead of enjoying the fact 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAs9RZah9GWK
that the surprise might be yours, you're acting all weird about it."1171Please respect copyright.PENANApu9nPXnLR1
"You don't understand at all," I said. "I have a feeling that I might not like this surprise."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmFn2nZe9rn
"Forget it," said Zoey, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAcc9DtGsddL
as she stood aside from the door allowing me to pass. "You can go in. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxXoaRLFB3q
And make sure you wash away that negative thought of yours."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZtjvVMXt82
"Not gonna happen," I sneered at her as I went into the bathroom and locked the door behind me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5LDzqlHFcv
By the time it was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAhONxh1TnWd
eight, almost everyone had showered and dressed up except for Zoey and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAW84Mcp5qIS
Christine who were taking their time in the bathroom doing each other's 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAer9RWRwnW2
make up. Lee and Collins found Daniel, Mike and I seated in the lounge, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANABdc0Q9VKwa
all prepared.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAc4Bi0OY97Q
"I figured you guys 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3XSCoON4Bc
would still be asleep since you weren't going for practice today," said 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdxn4EtoXVd
Collins jokingly as he entered the lounge with Lee behind him.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAD1MMba4vOs
"Today is an exciting day and you expect us to be asleep at this hour?" Mike asked.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjmeLyokNCn
"Not really," answered Collins. "I can see the beauty queens aren't out yet."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQsvijHSgZU
"I'm right here, you know?" I raised my hand as I looked up from my phone.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZqRqNBkqv1
"You know who I meant. You might be a beauty queen, but you're the sensible one and always on time."1171Please respect copyright.PENANATBps0KG1ti
"Careful," said Lee as 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAiwiMCsTkIP
she looked behind her. "They will hear you and those beauty queens might1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjZINpH2XaI
just turn into deadly assassins."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9rFYsSFQ1B
"As though I've never 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5F9UHGq0oJ
felt their wrath before," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2B0VHLDhAb
turned to Lee. "Anyways, have you all eaten your breakfast yet? We have 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtHIyUN44Xg
to leave this place and head to YG in fifteen minutes."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAs6l4qQRUzQ
"They will be up with 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ6O9ZmPpF
our breakfast soon," I said as I stood up from the comfortable couch. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANADcSrcRs2UA
"I'll check on Zoey and Christine to see if they are ready."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAP6pVPYZt8
Before I could start 1171Please respect copyright.PENANANG5bUaQgxE
heading for the rooms, Zoey and Christine appeared in the lounge, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4wkHIJuaCc
looking stunning. Zoey wore a stunning strapless light pink flared 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6hP4GW40bx
summer dress with black heels. Christine also wore a summer dress in 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6JxIPppoSY
green with matching white and green pumps. And the way they styled their1171Please respect copyright.PENANApYvriVUYKH
hair, was amazing.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVyELm6Wfw0
"Wow! I've to admit," 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHbFXPwhkVW
said Collins as he looked at Zoey and Christine. "You have really out 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgDzL4c40CX
done yourselves today. You look like you're going for an after party or 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOdMKpN83H9
something."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8fhaPkP0LD
"We dress to kill," said1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwWUD0Ii0cJ
Zoey as she flipped her curled hair and with a bright smile on her 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKPJW0Oc0jh
face. She really did look stunning. Any guy would be dropping their 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZKN1VpFblO
mouths when they saw her.1171Please respect copyright.PENANACpaSvbKbnm
"Yep, you're totally dressed to kill," I said as I smiled at Zoey.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8AZmAbXeZF
"For reals?" Zoey asked 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAF9mghQiDcu
as she looked at herself and turned around, her dress twirling as she 1171Please respect copyright.PENANALC7BylGE2D
moved. "Do you really think I look great, Sam?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAm3cT3ijDec
"I wouldn't have said all that now, would I?" I asked. "You both look stunning and every guy who sees you will drop dead."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAcyMli19Ok2
"You just know how Zoey is," said Christine, "she wants to look perfect for G-Dragon."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlKraVYf9mf
By the mention of his 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6hiUfCj5yn
name, I froze. Memories of what happened yesterday came flooding back. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUl21ifc8R7
I've always known Zoey liked G-Dragon. But the fact that he might just 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwVUiX8V0aS
like me as he drunkenly claimed he had, made me feel guilty.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlkAr5a9zIc
"Thanks for all the lovely comments," said Zoey with a shining smile.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUy44FF6vXp
"Well, you aren't getting any lovely comments from us," said Daniel, pointing to himself and Mike.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWwPk359iwT
"Don't worry," said Zoey, her face soon turned from pretty to dangerous. "I wasn't expecting anything from you anyway."1171Please respect copyright.PENANApoIHgOWVtM
"Ya, whatever," said Mike. "I'm so hungry. Isn't our breakfast up here yet?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWMM2JVdCJv
I was so glad that Mike 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAztznd9rnKH
had changed the topic. I wasn't ready for another of their silly 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAywaEnNfHar
arguments. Their kind of argument was one that never ended as quickly as1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5IYffGvBhF
you wanted it to. And at the end of it, no one on either side ever won.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGSogDWncOW
As fun as it was to see Zoey argue with my brothers, now was clearly 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUBbuiiowIr
not the right time to sit and watch the entertainment unfold.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmfAK4Q5mL6
We had an event to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAcWnW815MGe
attend to. Our breakfast came up soon afterwards. Toasted bread with 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1xFgDUX8Ye
eggs and juice. As soon as we were done, we headed downstairs. These 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtfFBAGJF7q
past few days, whenever we went out, we never received reporters or 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3UeHZiMCPW
paparazzi at the entrance doors of the hotel. They would usually wait 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAB5xeZgVGDb
outside the hotel gates. The last time that happened was on the first 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPHFpfK5uoD
day we came here. But today, we were greeted by them in the lobby. Looks1171Please respect copyright.PENANAV49IZJgIdQ
like the news of our fan signing event stirred up a frenzy.1171Please respect copyright.PENANADnerjmhCMp
Bodyguards surrounded us1171Please respect copyright.PENANARfeB5v5ZPA
as soon as we stepped out of the elevator and the camera lights blinked1171Please respect copyright.PENANAaNL8utt8MA
everywhere around us. There was so much commotion in the lobby, walking1171Please respect copyright.PENANAiEkcjM2cbe
around seemed difficult. But lucky for us, there were bodyguards and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA19BaqvxbzT
they made enough room for us to get out of the place and go outside. How1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvexUtHwOrB
I wish I wore sunglasses. The flashing lights from the cameras almost 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEtRuZgVVp0
blinded me for a moment and I admired Zoey and Christine who were smart 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIz2acTYXxQ
enough to carry theirs and wear them. Bummer!1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWV9QUEoyrv
We soon found ourselves 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7DsCx8QHWH
outside and there were more reporters and paparazzi. Some fans who stood1171Please respect copyright.PENANAi8PZF3lSnl
nearby cheered when they saw us pass through the glass doors of the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQJXvxq9DT9
hotel. Some waved banners and posters with lovely sweet messages, some 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeEhgBQspIx
in Korean in which I was able to make a few words out of, though it was a1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxgXxocDn9f
huge hustle to read because of all the excited commotion. We soon found1171Please respect copyright.PENANAE7wmKaoaNW
ourselves in the black Chevrolet SUVs and I felt so relieved to be in 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjqt41ZzAoB
the car at that moment.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9unFebKqpM
"Wow, looks like we 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjCHt3zowdi
really stirred up a crowd today, haven't we?" Daniel asked as he looked 1171Please respect copyright.PENANABfPB2qYEXr
out the car window where the reporters, paparazzi and the fans 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXSxTXZQovb
surrounded the car.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAoIpXjqwlQR
"Looks like we did," I said, as I also looked out the window.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAJKcYxHAYU
"Hope everyone is in," said Collins who always sat in the front passenger’s seat and turned behind to look at us.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAiKRKq3sMwx
"We all are," answered Lee. "Made a count and all your five piggies are in the car, Collins."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYMLY1powoc
"Piggies!?" I responded in surprise with the other Toxins at the same time. That reminded me of Angry Birds.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtV828UuLM3
"Ya," said Collins. "To me, you're piggies."1171Please respect copyright.PENANApqbtewzw1n
"I thought calling us 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAs55XCaw3Q4
monkeys was better," Zoey muttered enough for Collins to hear but he 1171Please respect copyright.PENANARLogSRbf6g
didn't respond as though he never heard her. I knew he did and I admired1171Please respect copyright.PENANAo973KUkuz6
the way he ignored the comment.1171Please respect copyright.PENANACPMENBYfAz
The car soon drove away 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bk4DjRpYP
from the hotel and in a space of a few minutes, we found ourselves at 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkBTlTqK9G9
YG. Collins said we would first stop here until it was time for all of 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXOSz0zalfh
us to go to the event. We first had to wait for the BigBang members to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqASwqC54s9
arrive and we would all go together.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0v2CRh5wb2
In the meantime, we 1171Please respect copyright.PENANADZU9HYP8Ab
found ourselves in the recording studio waiting for the others by trying1171Please respect copyright.PENANAi2GM3nulWx
to keep ourselves busy by chatting. Lee and Collins had left to attend 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAe44MikZCeQ
to something and they said they would return soon.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvPfE7YmFdj
"Has anyone been online 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAv3pcFETBKn
to see what people are talking about right now?" Zoey asked as she 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGUkqzgQ8Qt
looked down at her phone, her face filled with excitement.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAcYKwOWgFzg
"No, what are people saying?" I asked as I scooted over her to see what was on her phone.1171Please respect copyright.PENANARqm6TpidUf
"Christine and I have totally killed it today," said Zoey. "People can't stop talking about how pretty we look."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAV0lesxvxVs
"Well, that's nice," I said as I leaned down comfortably on the couch. "At least today it's not all about me."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGx6AI4ftzs
"Says the person who 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYW2AKQvGt0
thinks the surprise is all about her," said Christine who sat beside me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeWECP5rOkI
"Don't forget, your supposedly love story of you and G-Dragon, is still1171Please respect copyright.PENANAcof4ZJSwzF
the major topic in everyone's mouths."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAq2MLfejHIs
"Ya, that's why, I'm 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAe2Jeenmuea
trying my best to avoid all posts relating to it all morning," I said as1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtaDzwHOWTS
I looked down at my phone. "And so far, I haven't found anything else 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6H17QGXkgC
interesting at all."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAumhgSFpN5F
"Thats because your love1171Please respect copyright.PENANABeegfSEY9o
story is all what people are talking about," said Zoey. "Trust me. A 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1U54tO8nkt
lot of guys, probably the famous ones, are now jealous thinking that 1171Please respect copyright.PENANALlbDE1XChT
you're taken. And a lot of your haters are probably posting ridiculous 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAr4gvszYiGs
comments about your relationship."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2plcLslxKx
"Ya, a relationship that1171Please respect copyright.PENANAda86d7DTIy
doesn't even exist," said Mike. "What's everyone's problem? One minute 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUOl2dH9Soe
you say and do this and they twist things around."1171Please respect copyright.PENANASvqIJcnoi8
"That's just the life of fame," said Christine. "People can twist anything when they feel like it."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ4vkmFKnU
"How I wish I never tripped that day," I said as I looked up at the ceiling. "This wouldn't be happening."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQuea4ViQ1V
"What's done is done, Sam," said Zoey. "And we're celebrities. We just have to deal with such things."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMaQiixQLEt
"Well, some don't," I muttered. That I knew was true.1171Please respect copyright.PENANALt56fTrxas
The door immediately flew open and Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung walked into the room looking all casual and good looking.1171Please respect copyright.PENANApOD9sRWO05
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted the others excitedly as she ran over to them in her heels to hug them.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjYSH4CECiJ
"Wow, hey, Zoey," said 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAoqmZw6M0l7
Daesung, surprised by Zoey's sudden outburst of excitement as she ran to1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6ARJMBb0sk
hug him first. "Someone is really excited about today."1171Please respect copyright.PENANALHYJskwqwy
"Tell me about it," I said, still seated and rolling my eyes.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAijKgjoOcR8
"And girl, you look stunning," said Seungri, as he took Zoey's hand and twirled her around. "Just stunning."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAr7qw1kI0yQ
"Thank you, Seungri," said Zoey, as she hugged him.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHm291fN6Y7
"Lee wasn't kidding when1171Please respect copyright.PENANA20s2xphlcE
she told us that we should prepare ourselves for what we were about to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeHxKbwLlIe
see," said Taeyang. "You look great!"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0V3eRa3OJO
"Awww, coming from you guys, it means a lot, thanks," said Zoey, her blush clearly showing on her cheeks.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQsm7KpGXWZ
"Even Christine looks amazing," said Daesung. "I read on the social network that you two look stunning today."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAcVytR8drYD
"Thanks Daesung," said Christine with a smile.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9qKHV0lHq8
"Hey, aren't we forgetting someone?" Seungri asked.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuzTYpQMvKk
"Who?" this time it was Daniel who asked.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAraXfzapwIJ
"Sam," Seungri answered.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAzh2M7u8Lt
Everyone in the room 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA33AwUOaoKV
turned to look at me like I was a special case. At first, I was caught 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlO5FqH4wXd
off guard and when I noticed all eyes on me, I shrugged my shoulders 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnDMZT1lLF2
with confusion written all over my face.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAbkFSyOxYnU
"What?" I asked.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPSEJEkla4d
"Ya, what's wrong with Sam?" Mike asked as he stared at Seungri, probably as confused as I was.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2dAwB2956r
"No, I just miss her and1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuXve61Ij79
she looks stunning as ever!" Seungri said as he ran towards me, pulled 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFyEUL8L8B0
me up from the couch and pulled me into a bear crashing hug.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMbtJrRun6T
"If you really missed me1171Please respect copyright.PENANASlz7tiBRHG
that much, you should have just said so," I said, trying my best to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAypTr15AMOi
breathe but Seungri hugged me way too tight.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKnA22PREhT
"We never really got to hang out yesterday, my panda," Seungri said as he stopped hugging me and stared at me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuqwyt6JhKA
"You look pretty as always. Did you really have a makeover or something?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAp7KV8af1FZ
"No, I didn't," I answered with my eyebrow raised. "I'm not dressed up like Zoey and Christine, so why do I look stunning?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEKhfb9pwGJ
"Though you look causal, you look pretty and really cool too."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjYDQ11J6WM
I didn't know I looked 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXtIuucWKFB
that way and I quickly checked myself out. Though purple was my 1171Please respect copyright.PENANADfGYaHvwnX
favourite colour, I liked black too. I wore a black tight fitting vest, a1171Please respect copyright.PENANAA99GkKFuvB
short flared black skirt with matching black leggings with black boots 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAsbRoNso6cL
and a black baseball jacket that had a touch of white on the arms and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7dX6d9Okbz
the initials B.K on one side of the it.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Tq9VaxSt
"Come to think of it," said Taeyang as he came closer, carefully scrutinising me as though I was a work of art.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjq21onHF6U
"You do look cool. Almost like a gangster but with a touch of coolness."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5pOB1NVKrt
"Dressed up like a black kitty for sure," said Daesung as he gave me a genuine smile.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAbHtdrJpimr
"Ya, I also thinks she looks cool," said Mike.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAon3d4KS3IH
I almost blushed by the comments but I managed to put up a smile instead.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnCrBiaTIz9
"Thanks guys," I managed to say.1171Please respect copyright.PENANACNYaTqwQEY
"Told you you would rock it in black," said Zoey.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0ErPbPstHQ
"Don't I always do?" I asked with a mocking smile on my face.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAbkzaIf0GoD
"Ya, you do," Zoey replied.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2v1CuB1uKV
"Are G-Dragon and TOP on their way?" Daniel asked.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuZcO7CCUN5
"Ya, they will be here soon," said Taeyang.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAoHFWxxubY
"Well, we will just have1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUETFYu3q0r
to wait then," said Seungri as he sat down and he pulled me by the hand1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPetzGYx6HF
and I found myself sitting next to him. "I don't mind waiting as long 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAcW7Toqm9am
as my panda is here with me."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtapcazOqaN
"Oh, brother," I muttered to myself as Seungri wrapped his arm around my shoulder.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2fvoQBrjuy
"Haha, looks like Seungri really did miss you," said Christine as she stared at the two of us.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUfVABjknjz
"I didn't," I said bluntly.1171Please respect copyright.PENANASLkJQd0jNn
"It's okay, my lovely 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAToAaPdV3Ux
panda," said Seungri as he came close to my ear. "We have the whole day 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHYXxoMCvqG
together and it will be so much fun."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7KiBU4Ava6
"Ya, I've no doubt about that," I said as I turned to face him.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAopRSItVZxt
To be honest, I wouldn't1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWgdpxTJS63
mind if I had to spend the whole day with Seungri by my side. If it was1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHFCEU52gHn
one way of not getting too close to G-Dragon, it was fine by me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkmldApOWUs
"This is now nine," said1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtbdGvS1aPg
Zoey as she looked at the time on her phone. "We're supposed to be 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAI1qx3W5wtF
there by 10. We still got more time to chill."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIgxpDGCoEy
Zoey, Taeyang and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVXO3dNfHsV
Daesung came to join us on the couch. I was left chatting with Seungri 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOsxlNyDySm
while the others were talking about the event. I didn't really want to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA18dOcUu55o
talk about it because of the surprise and I was glad that none of the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANArKGBcu7ltI
Toxins brought up the issue about me supposedly being paranoid about it.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5b5FGOqGQW
I was also glad that Seungri kept me distracted from the other's 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjWdHD4mVMe
conversation. I really needed to keep my mind busy and why not with 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjCsvRGk4BW
someone like Seungri?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVqPMY3U7eq
In what seemed like thirty minutes afterwards, Lee came into the room.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgucm9UhiYh
"Sorry to break up your 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3DzLL4lXyi
little gathering, but we need to go," said Lee. "Your managers think it 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAp6dLnSXhS5
will be a good idea that we go early to run over a few things with you, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAG3U96m8f1w
especially The Toxins."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAff2KN9eDF8
"But aren't TOP and G-Dragon here yet?" Daesung asked.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMaQxQVxJUX
"They are waiting downstairs," said Lee. "Come on, we better get going."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAufpmMUtVa0
Lee quickly left the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7iaGyfmlbz
room while we slowly stood up from our seats. I kind of felt bad that we1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6KauRWTa1s
were leaving sooner than I expected. I seriously wasn't ready to go 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAH3cmcWsNZQ
downstairs and meet G-Dragon. After what happened yesterday, I didn't 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAX7IvflOUw0
feel ready to meet him face to face. What was I going to say? Our group 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZYmzRUGdA
members now think the two of us are on speaking terms again when it was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgocsJKhiZJ
actually the opposite. We only spoke yesterday because it was necessary 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAceRyFrgrUJ
due to the song and the little encounter I had with G-Dragon. Now that 1171Please respect copyright.PENANApYJ8mi7udW
it was nothing but a social gathering with the fans, what were the two 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4iKbGsW3K5
of us going to do? And not only that, what were we going to say to each 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKhfsSW9ntP
other in front of our fans?1171Please respect copyright.PENANA54rIcmmNjG
I tried not to think of 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4r7V9Grja
the worst case scenario as I walked out of the room with Seungri by my 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ8Xvknd6u
side. I had to act normal and not get caught up in my mind again. When I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzs4hQywF2O
usually do that, most people think I'm being distant when I actually 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVR614oE9FI
wasn't. I really hate the fact that I over think all the time, but there1171Please respect copyright.PENANAT1B2ODNTQo
is always a time when I find it quite enjoyable.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAx9R338N1sU
We found ourselves on 1171Please respect copyright.PENANACTXeABCrh6
the ground floor and our two managers stood waiting for us with 1171Please respect copyright.PENANARIu2KZq7vc
TOP. That was weird. I wondered where G-Dragon was because there was no 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMWTRFWBLFn
sign of him in the lobby and I wasn't ready to ask.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIwZlDrl5dT
"Look who we have here,"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4z8rmhEIPr
said TOP as he slowly brought down his stunning sunglasses when he saw 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdAQcJW60mk
us approaching. I had to admit, TOP looked way cooler and handsome too.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAae6MJqGNeD
He wore a black shirt 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAulFQjANUQi
with a red cashmere jacket and black designer jeans with stunning black 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvSAsFCDIDC
shoes. I now realised what fans have said about him when they post pics 1171Please respect copyright.PENANADGxES1BG6z
stating that he dresses like he is about to take over the world. I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8A3iKq5nv6
wasn't going to lie, he did look like those cool guys in the movies 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAO0XSDdSfPc
trying to take over the world. And I wouldn't mind being by his side if 1171Please respect copyright.PENANASZDTYOzZ7b
he ever did.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGSTkuaNGsX
"Zoey, Christine," said TOP as he drew closer. "You girls are looking elegant today."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAV8tuxFnJEU
"Thanks," Zoey and Christine said at the same time.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOKFnO92er0
"You also look great, TOP," said Zoey. "Totally cool."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxjRYz800rm
"Thanks," said TOP as he smiled.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAI56FoEbGew
I looked down when I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjkwG1hd5Hr
noticed TOP's eyes on me. I was already blushing and I didn't want to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHclT69qjDH
look straight at him. With that bad boy look of his, who knows how I was1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzKc9qaDh4P
going to react. Sometimes I never knew what to do or what to say when a1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtsmorDO6To
guy as good looking as TOP was staring at me. I remember my school days1171Please respect copyright.PENANAC1dHNPXguS
and when a cute guy ever looked at me or even talked to me, I would 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZybZxA0iw2
always look like an idiot in the end. As normal and average as I was at 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGJpxzSquHc
first, my friends used to find me weird when it came to guys. As I grew 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPNJdfdj6sI
older and got over the shyness, that still didn't change the fact that I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeqtXMTWETI
acted like a total idiot sometimes.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5p3oPWL4wR
"Wow, Sam, you're looking great," said TOP as he approached me. I found it hard to respond and I had to force myself.1171Please respect copyright.PENANADciWmufZBg
"I....um." I cleared my 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA75L0r0zPnF
throat. "Thanks. You look great too." "You look like a black kitty for 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOeafsAG1k7
sure. All you need are cat ears and a tail."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAV1pWJ4VKyA
"I was just about to suggest that," said Daniel as he snapped his fingers.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0F6nRxBPuC
"I don't need cat ears and a tail," I said. I could clearly feel my cheeks blushing and I looked the other way.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtSRkHuekVS
"And you could put on her whiskers too," said Taeyang, with a smile on his face.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAiutJ1y1kKK
"With a pink cute nose," said Daesung. "Just imagine how cute she would look."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3pVRHdgtMO
"Awww, I can imagine how1171Please respect copyright.PENANA37zeM7v9jR
she looks already," said Zoey as she tickled under my chin like I was a1171Please respect copyright.PENANA63aEeFpCvO
cat. "Whose my little black kitty! Yes, you're! Yes, you're!"1171Please respect copyright.PENANASXn8OePAoU
"Stop it! Collins, tell 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAynWTXloFAT
her to stop!" I pushed Zoey's hand away but that didn't stop her from 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZNqp5Oiyoz
coming closer to me and tickling me all over my body.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEBV0P7Apxw
I tried to move away 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8kOCDHQDvk
from Zoey as far as possible. I ran around our group members and our 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVZy9gJAA8T
managers running from Zoey as she tried to catch me and tickle me some 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMsa9LJQgZ1
more. I laughed along with Zoey as she chased me around. I had never 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeABIzGGGRz
felt so happy and excited in such a long time. I felt like a little kid 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzyIHWoFThw
again and I loved the feeling.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUg73KXags9
"Come here, Sam," said Zoey. "I want to tickle you some more."1171Please respect copyright.PENANADrehkdrHES
"No way!" I said as I ran behind Taeyang.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKj3DPZXbKw
"Can you two stop running around like little kids?" Collins called out to us as Zoey ran past him.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVkEdyEBQYi
"Tell her to stop chasing me and trying to tickle me," I said to Collins as I continued to laugh.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4shMC4KdOt
To be honest, I wasn't 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5thwNpXSUB
ready for the fun to stop just yet. Just as I ran behind Daniel, I felt 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVneO7VNDkP
someone grab my waist from behind and I was drawn backwards. My back 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgNey32JVbi
leaned on something hard. I realised that TOP was the one who grabbed me1171Please respect copyright.PENANAr82yg8T3iT
and I was leaning on his chest. This wasn't good. Zoey came over and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAL5dc6rrMIy
she started to tickle me. I laughed so hard that I couldn't stop and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6hPLY9h6mT
tears fell out of my eyes. Zoey knew just where to tickle me on my sides1171Please respect copyright.PENANAT4AXPFdqyb
and I laughed so hard.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAD3MhZyb52k
I tried telling her to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdVtySZK4TP
stop but I couldn't say so because I laughed so hard. Zoey was enjoying 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlaKB7628Jr
herself with this and TOP who held me, was silently laughing behind me. I1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0xyQHaASvA
was glad that TOP was holding me, because I would have dropped to the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmvEhwRxptD
floor laughing. Everyone around us also started to laugh. I was told 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAybZHEP70QY
that I had such a contagious laugh that others around me start to laugh 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvUjG5Qjzer
too.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6acObQYluG
I soon managed to break 1171Please respect copyright.PENANATctEO6ibBD
away from TOP when Zoey finally stopped tickling me. I was still 1171Please respect copyright.PENANASBaBGi5WDO
laughing so hard that I wasn't really looking where I was going. I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYejvKD7IWY
wasn't aware that I was moving backwards.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQDWHkDhgVl
Then all of sudden, I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAb7UzOX0zSz
lost my footing and at that point, time stopped. I didn't really mind if1171Please respect copyright.PENANAr6uCcZgSxh
I found myself on the floor since I was laughing too hard.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgJKK6Amgeu
But surprisingly, that didn't happen.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0pdBE1WawR
As I lost my footing, I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9pLLf8M5aB
was falling backwards and I felt my back lean on something. At first I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAP0Ipu5ca25
thought it was a wall, but when I felt someone's hands around me to hold1171Please respect copyright.PENANACdmyGw6qP9
me steady, I knew someone had just prevented me from falling to the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMlyHHw0RLL
floor. I stopped laughing. With his arms around me, I knew who it was. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzIidIQsyIa
It felt like my body knew exactly who held me without even looking. At 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAriNn6uhse8
that moment, I felt embarrassed even to turn my head and at him in the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7qSA6KyaGD
face.1171Please respect copyright.PENANARE522j9pWX
"Wow, Sam," said Zoey at she looked at me. "Looks like you have been saved from falling. Again."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAV128Qq3VNz
"And by the same person too," said Seungri.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5F2vmAxSS
I realised that everyone1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMimUen97Ox
was looking at G-Dragon and I. I felt my face grow hot in 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlMnWPLnuIc
embarrassment. I finally managed to straighten myself up and I turned to1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0EbFoFjOwD
look at G-Dragon behind me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAk67yZ2xZTI
Just like most of us, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAyVohz5BV3y
G-Dragon also wore casual clothes but surprisingly, he wore all black 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAw9uvcoHKb5
just like me. When I noticed that, I grew a little startled that I was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7PZxHd7u0S
lost for words. He did look really cool though. With a long black 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGG34F1vR8P
designer shirt and jeans with pretty cool white and black designer 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQESvXxVc5N
sneakers. A gold chain hang around his neck adding a perfect look to his1171Please respect copyright.PENANAiWJZO1SO5t
outfit with diamond studs on his ears.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJHDH9gwZHH
"Oh, wow!" Christine exclaimed behind me. "Is it just me or today is a total black Saturday?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnx8wQJ2em2
I knew this wasn't going1171Please respect copyright.PENANACWproNJXla
to go unnoticed. When Christine blurted out that statement, G-Dragon 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGOIKkDtfRc
looked at me from head to toe. I could feel his eyes analysing my outfit1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfE3vk1ZLWK
and that sent a tingle down my spine. I didn't know if that was a good 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqrVMMG5RmH
thing or a bad thing.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOcha5XImlM
"Yikes! That's going to send a fashion statement to the whole world," said Lee.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKx1McWOZxE
"You two really surprise me sometimes," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Did you plan to go out like this?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxk7P4Iqsvb
G-Dragon and I quickly turned at the same time to look at the others and we both said, "no."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAB8aL4ohmnE
For a moment, there was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAimNNHPSdX3
silence and G-Dragon and I looked at each other. I quickly looked away 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8Etv11mg9X
because I could suddenly feel myself blushing. Why was I blushing?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAhjQXyR3Q0V
"I'm also surprised," said Mike. "But I have to admit, you two look awesome!"1171Please respect copyright.PENANALAp2FKIH6B
"Here," said Zoey as she took out her phone and she quickly took a photo of G-Dragon and I.1171Please respect copyright.PENANARp8qynAuwj
I was completely caught 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAb3A8c9EWmR
unaware when the camera light flashed before my eyes. I wasn't even 1171Please respect copyright.PENANARnseiIH2Su
ready for the photo yet. What the heck! I didn't even want my picture 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwfbvUARh5v
taken either.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA78GCHxXx1M
"Awww, so cute!" Zoey 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6N0YiFve1W
said excitedly as she showed the photo to TOP who stood right beside 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAShs2L1hyyq
her. "They look awesome, don't you think?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6MnNoXYTOd
"Ya, they really do," said TOP.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvyLGXxEOVB
"You should post that and see what people think," said Taeyang.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmlpBG9uaWe
"Good idea," said Zoey as she started swiping and tapping on her phone.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAb8yLgikNe6
"Oh no you don't!" I warned as I walked over to Zoey. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPD7o7kJaEl
Before I could even reach her, TOP and Seungri blocked my path as they stood shoulder to shoulder like body guards.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdf2oxcf652
"You've got to be 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ7IchBGQZ
kidding me," I said as I rolled my eyes at them. I knew it was already 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqhXqt2jdJP
too late. Zoey is quick with sending out posts to our fans than she is 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXqbASOwaY7
with coming up with new ideas.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOrwhh2y6z1
"Done and done!" Zoey 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xy8R10kTR
announced. "Oh, look! In a matter of seconds, there are already 10 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1u9sg2ZxS8
likes. Let's just see what's going to happen afterwards."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAod5pKaZBEl
"I hate you, Zoey," I said after TOP and Seungri stepped aside and I came face to face with her.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfVJzqDo0U9
"You'll thank me later," said Zoey giving me a wink.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0v52jZ4oXn
"Now that your shenanigans are over," said Collins, "we better get going, the cars are here."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAx4tvm59Vsj
Thank goodness. All I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjWD9P5U2tB
wanted was for us to leave. What just happened was already embarrassing 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5OG9ehCLQo
enough. And what surprised me was that throughout all of it, G-Dragon 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwmh8GobBcu
had not said a word at all. I was now starting to worry. But it didn't 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAcQLMBKMD8
take long for my worry to evaporate as G-Dragon went past me and started1171Please respect copyright.PENANAP04fASHHXD
a conversation with Zoey as we all stepped out of the building and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8G2pZuF15E
heading the cars.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0RmO6TGy9C
Well, that was a relief.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjKHdcNQcJ9
For a moment there, I thought he was going to start acting weird again 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdbT36ILEut
like yesterday. He was gladly talking to the other members with a smile 1171Please respect copyright.PENANALwzorEm6B9
on his face as though nothing was wrong. A small smile came across my 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKx4qrLldfW
face and I was glad no one noticed. I wouldn't mind bearing the silent 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3LhmxVBFvG
treatment he gave me as long as he was okay.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGmnJs8EYts
The reporters and the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxhB5tceDe1
paparazzi waited outside the YG premises and when they saw us leave the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAI5FUSzJCsy
building, the camera lights blinked and even from a distance, the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQiAKHS0btc
flashing lights were annoying. They called out to us to grab our 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAhMnnhYEWRr
attention and only a few of us waved at the reporters. Our managers and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAA37U5YOxZK
Lee got into the first SUV which meant the other two were reserved for 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAF3SKwek5HO
us.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAm0n2GpLDHf
I already planned that I would stick around with Seungri for today, but it looked like Zoey had other better ideas.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAE4b3g8KeIC
"Hey, Sam, why don't you1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOE8oXmfQ9P
join G-Dragon and I in the same car?" Zoey suggested. "Not only would 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAv938otJSZR
it be fun to have you two around, but just imagine what people would say1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAhm7fUw0cu
when you two get out of the car since you two look all pimped up in 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7WndPKaNpu
black!"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQsNxO4034M
I opened my mouth to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6xE6Ys6zNf
decline, but the words never came out. Being around G-Dragon was already1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFw9nmiUUrx
awkward for me and I couldn't blame Zoey. She didn't know what was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAy0zJmH9NKo
going on. But if the two of us got to be in the same car, Zoey and the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAx07yZtHDf5
others will definitely notice that something is wrong. I bit my lip at 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAglYA8hFXnt
the thought. What was I going to do?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzl5IwcSAXH
I looked at G-Dragon and1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1zms1TMCQu
he still didn't utter a word to me. I bet he also thought the same 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfP1UBoLEEi
way. I needed someone to save me right now.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAyGAZQg9MpM
"No, Sam, is coming with me."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfgwcWg5tge
My prayer had finally been answered. Seungri came and took me by the hand as he came to stand right beside me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7YzRV2N4NO
Our other group members 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2W1cIme85l
had already settled down in the car of their choice and I hadn't even 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA43lgsnF9jr
noticed. I was so relieved that Seungri just saved me from all this. I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfLQEhRDvHi
silently couldn't thank him enough.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVrFaEC4YgK
"Sam and I already planned that we would be close today," said Seungri. "So maybe later."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAK6nO1iowVo
"You two decided to be close today?" G-Dragon asked with his eyebrow raised and a questioning look on his face.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxZfbv8MC4j
"I never really got to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlbOIrWjAu4
hang out with her so much yesterday. So, ya, I want her close today," 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAA2Lddnc6l6
said Seungri. "You wouldn't mind, right?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANApl4ycsMmKC
"Not all," said Zoey. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmIwcCRczhI
"It's fine by me. We better get going before one of our managers gets to1171Please respect copyright.PENANALXCivOx7qu
stick out their heads out of the car and scold us."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYdxO2cF5JV
Zoey was right. The four1171Please respect copyright.PENANArwLYHZTgzx
of us had wasted so much time talking. Seungri pulled me along with 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAraUhbhip8e
him, still holding my hand as we got into the second car while Zoey and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAv4cbhjKcZ6
G-Dragon went in the last one.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8mExUJdlYp
I was glad I was in the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANALA3yPOQFTa
same car with Seungri, Mike, Taeyang and Daniel. I didn't feel like 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8nNGB11eY0
being with G-Dragon in the same car and better yet, in the enclosed 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqSkJ10B5Bz
space of the car. How was I going to even breathe in there? I wanted as 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZutNHZrT8M
much as to thank Seungri for saving my neck, but that was to come 1171Please respect copyright.PENANArx6VyBx8JM
another day. I didn't want the others to get worried if they found out 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkNcb2VdIIX
that G-Dragon and I still weren't okay with each other.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAL4tGxboCnI
While the car drove out 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWgeqfKeWGP
of the YG premises following the other car in front, Seungri and the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4kK5pYKs9b
other BigBang members took the time to explain what happens during fan 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZfNzEYz8ir
signing events. Most of the time, fan signing events usually take place 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfFaadtvyto
when a K-Pop group were making a comeback debut or promoting their 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeyDMhNDztp
upcoming album. Our fan signing event was a little usual since we 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHORUF41gM6
weren't promoting any upcoming album just a single.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAyVVFMNaao1
I soon realised that 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1D2Pt9nkOP
G-Dragon and I hadn't even worked so much on the song yet. I made a 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0yoFQ5wix4
mental note to try and work on the song on my own for a bit before I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXcy8bNtMnz
went to bed tonight.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqVfwAjKVfK
We soon found ourselves 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQtmDvHxhfw
at what seemed to look like an audience hall. The parking lot was filled1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuke4gRxlP4
and packed with fans. The fans noticed the cars arrive and there was a 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3GSTua3Uu9
huge outburst of excitement. The cars made a turn for the back where it 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3DZOXdIwmd
was safer for us since our fans seemed to get out of control. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXHJcpEndhQ
Immediately we went through the back gate of the building, the gates 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmE6apiHZvO
closed behind us. The place was filled with security just in case things1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgci8I9ujar
went wrong.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgYQUlNGrTK
We came out of the car 1171Please respect copyright.PENANACtnOfYBiyT
and I finally got to stretch my legs. I had to admit, I was a little 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAU2wJOcAEG8
nervous about the event and I hoped it went well. But then came the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZI5h1s2jxB
feeling of the surprise. I just hoped that this time around, I was wrong1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8dOstTEDo7
and I was being paranoid like my group members had told me earlier.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1LH6ziARX
"So, are you ready?" Yang Hyun-suk asked as he, Collins and Lee came out of the car.1171Please respect copyright.PENANASDQkApZ44p
"These guys might be ready," said Zoey as she jumped out of the car with G-Dragon following behind her. "But I'm not."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAl9kIoVfTJ4
"I'm also a little nervous too," I said. "There are so many fans out there and I don't know what to expect."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUNhYJEentt
"Don't worry, Sam," said Taeyang. "There is completely nothing to worry about."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfGGpU2tjUl
"Well, I hope so," said 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAkzZ0Dg07H
Christine as she twirled her hair. "We will go through a few things with1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHIPev9c0ae
you before the event starts," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Follow me."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAi6lCOCjpfv
Our managers with Lee 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeSDOP7GPUq
led the way through the back door and we found ourselves in the dressing1171Please respect copyright.PENANA16sY6XFSnt
room where we were told to wait. We still had enough time till the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANARGZx1Dy2mi
event started so Yang Hyun-suk went through some things with us with 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ds2nkLUoc
what goes on during fan signing events. Though Daniel, Mike and I had 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxv9I0TzyND
already been told by Seungri and Taeyang about what usually happens, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXSaumoPsWQ
there were a few things they kind of left out that Yang Hyun-suk managed1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvf7qGuiHfh
to tell us. Like the way the fans interact with their celebrities might1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnBichY6NfN
be a bit freaky but it's part of the K-Pop culture. But he did emphasis1171Please respect copyright.PENANAavFW5rBFKT
to be ourselves when we go out there to meet our fans and interact with1171Please respect copyright.PENANAERP5MfCVX9
them. It seems there was really nothing to worry about.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAS04WwsYA9d
We still had thirty-five1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnfW72gIYN3
minutes till the event starts, so our managers left and said they would1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIqKvWeZ79S
send for us when the time came. I was glad that Lee stayed behind with 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGTe6YDecSi
us though I was quite sure Collins told her to keep an eye out on us, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuVfqoeIUJk
especially us, Toxins. Anyway, I needed her around. Since we came here, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEW4JZKNR7S
she and I didn't really have some time to talk like we usually do back 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3fsfXaBDo1
home. And besides, Seungri completely ignored me this time around and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAa5yp8FtQiP
was chatting with Christine and Daesung, so Lee was the appropriate chat1171Please respect copyright.PENANAP56NCgZyAW
buddy while we waited.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWVcFVJGDrU
"So, I see you're clearly avoiding G-Dragon today," said Lee, who sat right next to me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3LCt5ON9R2
"No, I'm not avoiding him," I said. "He's avoiding me."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFlZNrs5zoZ
"Ya, I noticed the way he was giving you the silent treatment. He didn't even say you look nice or pretty back at YG."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKWHPcxMRk9
"I don't mind." Lee gave1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtwnOE2f5KJ
me a look I couldn't describe. She had her eyebrow raised, her lips 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnmYC103mxm
pursed together and her arms folded. I could tell she was studying me, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGEa5EnYWQX
but what was running in that head of hers, I was hoping to find out.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAB8jR52KtjN
"Since when did you ever become the 'I-don't-care' type?" Lee asked.1171Please respect copyright.PENANADRUNDRzMDF
"Ever since I realised that I'm not supposed to care what other people think about me," I answered.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAh7HhBAh6BJ
"Mmmm, sounds like you really don't care or are you just bluffing?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeIWWgRI1J6
"No, I'm not. I just 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAI87v7GqBoo
don't want things to get as complicated as it already is." I kept my 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAhFqwiNFntD
voice down so that no one could hear me. "The others think G-Dragon and I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAf83XGAaEcE
are no longer fighting. And yesterday was nothing but weird. I don't 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQvQTn30UnU
want to worry the others while we are here."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAhXNDRsj3GB
I was seated at the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzGHJPShExD
corner of the room with Lee. It was a nice comfortable space for just 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMyacwLgOcF
the two of us to talk without raising much attention. Zoey sat with 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAG7n3AuBaRL
G-Dragon, Taeyang and my brothers on the opposite side of the room, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtM6cypiypj
almost close to the door.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAva9Xe2xUsY
"And you think it's 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5U9OStsojy
going to last long?" Lee asked. "The two of you're supposed to be 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnsguoacMsR
working on the lyrics together and that will require communication and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANALI8j4bnXXV
stuff."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAT60vAGRBC0
"Ya, well, that's not 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAhPgSqGZjB1
the issue," I said as I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm worried when our 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwbfCOWxjgz
members are around. I'm glad they never noticed that G-Dragon didn't say1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUoCFYFcVww
a word to me so far, but what will happen later on? And in front of the1171Please respect copyright.PENANAbuziT9AAPX
fans?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAteVSM7xqq5
"Wait a minute. So you think, the others might just do something that may require you and GD to say something to each other?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmE8GIVBvyu
"I won't be surprised. I mean, we do have Zoey for those kind of things."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3b0sLiGdSR
"True. Let's just hope 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMP4ICwav4O
the surprise won't trigger that to happen." This time, I looked at Lee 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAM5suPVvrzf
who wasn't looking at me. I could clearly see on her face now that she 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtxWV0Vltbq
was kind of nervous when she mentioned the surprise.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAcwGduGZtVh
"What's the surprise, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjhE2oFbYSz
Lee?" I went straight to the point this time around and I wasn't ready 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAalKnPxjIbM
to take no for an answer, though I knew I was surly going to get one.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYMhWMHJ2qY
"What? The surprise?" 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJnYLgj6Dif
That almost gave us away and everyone's attention in the room turned to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYQWCRoJa6J
us because Lee spoke a little loudly. But no one seemed to care 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGcpcg8NIej
afterwards as they went on to what they were doing, ignoring us.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxqWYMG1Zfn
"Well, ya, and I know you know what the surprise is."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOgcrzqCetd
"But that's really top secret, Sam. I can't tell you."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAa57sNjqf8l
"Really? Please, Lee. This isn't stuff to do with the Secret Service. Why don't you tell me what it is?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKLo3DgFBn8
"I can't and you know how those two managers are. They are going to kill me if they found out I told you what the surprise was."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA61kbDnwgce
"Okay, well give me a 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKeO8Xt6HnR
hint then. Is this surprise for The Toxins and BigBang or what?" Lee 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAO4DTcKx7a1
gave me a sincere look and I knew what she was about to tell me next was1171Please respect copyright.PENANAe1pdni0sk5
the truth.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAyl68BCD5AQ
"The surprise isn't for you guys only. It's for the whole world to see."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1fQplYPvRo
This time, I thought Lee1171Please respect copyright.PENANALTj7AEx8RJ
was speaking in riddles. But somehow, it did make sense. But what would1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGXFPB2JjT0
Yang Hyun-suk and Collins have planned as a surprise for the whole 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxZUcTtstht
world? I now felt something was wrong. And with my last question in my 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvPuOmn977D
mind, I just had to confirm with Lee.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfgN1nHfP93
"Okay, this is probably 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA58ZF3yEDig
the last question I'm going to ask you," I said, assuring Lee that I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4WVlNOuy7J
meant what I said. "But I need to confirm something with you."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxg1enWE7cM
"Fire away then," said Lee. "I just hope it's not a complicated question to answer."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKNq9yvxaat
It took me a while to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANANMhih3tH9n
come up with the right words to ask. I didn't want to sound weird and I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxZzItzjq4Q
didn't want to start beating around the bush either.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFOPvHVgb8d
"Does the surprise have anything to do with me?" I asked.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAddm5C7fuUW
Lee looked at me, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYWmLSdEh3p
startled. I waited for her to reply but the door flew open and someone 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGY6HxDnjGE
came in, one of the organising crew of the event, asking for Lee. Darn 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAbNTOalrELI
it! She had been saved by the bell. What was I going to do now?1171Please respect copyright.PENANALVl1sntTCl
"We'll talk later," said Lee, as she gave me an apologetic look as she stood up from the chair and left.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZA9bet2HFv
I had a feeling I wasn't1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlUWxAaPO8W
going to get my answer right there and then. Looks like I had to wait 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA83Il2ygTaV
till the surprise came. Too bad I couldn't get the answer I was looking 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxawufnnhLI
for. But because of Lee's expression when I asked her, I might probably 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAn6wzz6g6Nm
be right about the surprise. Or maybe I was just trying to comfort 1171Please respect copyright.PENANALvzNbkKN9W
myself thinking that I might be wrong. Yikes! Self denial was one thing I1171Please respect copyright.PENANATkTZgaNcsZ
never liked to tolerate but I had to look at the possibilities that I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYiWPqMMs1c
might actually be wrong for once.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYGG3YqIE3x
I still sat alone in the1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIIPCHYOmav
corner, this time browsing on my phone about the latest news on 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAaCdutQljcL
Twitter. I tried avoiding any tweet involving what's happening today and1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIY5mdMss4B
also about the picture taken of G-Dragon and I. There were other better1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFeoInTttaz
stories to read concerning what's happening around the world right now.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9TpatRuypq
Though I was one person who never really liked watching news concerning1171Please respect copyright.PENANASsszqkvmCk
current affairs when I was young, reading about them felt quite 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAe1UJYPKqCn
enjoyable as I grew older. Ya, I'm one heck of a reader and right now, I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAA7gqA4XPb1
was a reading a news article posted on BBC. Ya, I know what you're 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAK7URKTD5Zq
thinking. What's a superstar like me reading about such stuff? I should 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAcH8l9TsUQc
be concerned about what people are saying about me than reading this 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYvGUpSsHwj
boring stuff. One thing I know, was that not everything is supposed to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAd1gLcIOr27
be all about me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkKOz8u8Frc
"Hey, why are you all alone?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfxZTfCJc2U
I looked up from my phone and I saw Taeyang looking down at me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAucjFTndJSo
"Just reading 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA08d4tLZOOB
something," I said as I pressed the power button to blacken my phone 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8WVwdTUDCQ
screen. It would be embarrassing if he and I fought over the phone like 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxcY89zEXJs
we did yesterday over the notebook. I didn't want him to see what I was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA85LKo73p5R
reading. He might just mock me and call me a news person.1171Please respect copyright.PENANALCo3tBoHxh
"Mind if I join you?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA81nwL9RgN7
"Yes, please," I said as I patted on the leather couch inviting him to sit.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWxWn8bsv6K
"You look at ease this 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAV1oAK7Ny0F
time around," said Taeyang as he sat next to me. "Zoey told us that you 1171Please respect copyright.PENANABLdyGURLU0
were acting paranoid about the surprise this morning."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdrbr64we7g
"Can Zoey ever keep her 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5boeccbaIE
mouth shut just for once?" I asked as I gave out a death glare at Zoey 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAljFQGN68HJ
across the room. Luckily, she was too preoccupied to even notice. "I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAn78OiWEQgI
wonder why she hasn't revealed my deepest darkest secrets yet."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAoR4gnpCvl9
"Because she's your best friend."1171Please respect copyright.PENANANadXLlx4Uc
"Ya, but she wasn't 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAaxKu5u96L9
supposed to bring that up. I know I didn't tell her to, but there is a 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxHsOKz4Q9H
time to talk about such things and she chose wrongly."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJO5ZS0YatS
"It was just a slip of the tongue."1171Please respect copyright.PENANANpDoUltoZe
"For Zoey, there is nothing like the slip of the tongue. You should already know that by now."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMqcSZZfKMS
"I guess you're right. But why think too much about the surprise?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqNdlsF7WVW
"Maybe it's because-" I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAsDQvrWDjAm
paused. "Why do I have to tell you? I bet you already know since Zoey 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQTYOYGnPNE
told you that I was being paranoid. Which, as a matter of fact, I'm 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA64UFV1e8v3
not."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAC7a5WI2AVU
Taeyang chuckled and said, "I know you're not paranoid, Sam. Let's change the subject."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6SqCKo0aWq
"Thank you," I said as I stared up at the ceiling feeling relieved.1171Please respect copyright.PENANArr3p1x1Qzn
"What's up with you and GD?" Taeyang asked with a serious look on his face.1171Please respect copyright.PENANARtAJ3CsFac
"Pfft! What are you talking about, Tae?" I asked as I twirled a strand of my hair.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAyOIaYJiXBB
"Sam, you're twirling your hair. What aren't you telling me?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHGpnUrYvGt
Dang it! Taeyang was just too good. How did had he known that something was wrong between G-Dragon and I?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAI8ukhxmJTE
"How....do you...I mean..." I stammered trying to find the right words. "Why do you ask?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAn9g4dBU5jd
"Because I know G-Dragon and I could tell he has been giving you the silent treatment today. Did you two argue?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAsVkaOI7Gpq
"No, we didn't."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA84OJQqEG8A
"Then why isn't he talking to you?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwD1KW0MxVe
"I...eh...I don't know." I kept on twirling my hair. "Why don't you ask him?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4gE8no8Yo2
"I know he won't tell me anything. I didn't even try to bring it up. So I came to you."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1HeCGRfYth
Really? This cannot be 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYjHION19Nz
happening! What was I going to say? I couldn't lie to Taeyang. And if he1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXFfyY3QbdU
could have noticed that something was wrong, it wouldn't be long until 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGTd1wcv285
the others found out too. But it looked like I had no choice.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2cTKv3YRHW
"Aren't you going to tell me, Sam?" Taeyang asked, this time, bringing me back from my thoughts.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOp5IRjg5A7
"Now you're the one 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnz7I5a651b
being paranoid," I said. I wasn't twirling my hair this time around. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAC13JuA6Gqb
That's what gave me away the first time. It wasn't the right time to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVmYP99L8QQ
tell Taeyang. Not yet. Not when we were about to meet our fans. That 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAm43TgmXvij
would be crazy.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAusWXNvb0do
"What do you mean?" 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAD19VnS20ww
Taeyang looked confused. Oh, no. I shouldn't have started the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjTk15s1Osf
conversation like this. I had to figure out what to say next. And fast!1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0yQrgOH2Ch
"G-Dragon and I aren't 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVQW2kdsh6o
arguing. We just had a little bit of a misunderstanding when it came to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1Dp47T8cOc
the lyrics for the song. That's all."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKE2CGgLyTL
What was I saying? 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAr5oJ0oRePk
G-Dragon and I barely worked on the song at all yesterday. I hope 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9TdArPApJH
Taeyang was buying this. He might not ask GD about what I've just told 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA04jj9uzqJf
him, but I was really hoping he wouldn't tell the others either.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0g04HAAnE
"Why? He didn't like your lyrics?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeQdayAVAaN
"The first two lines 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzaWe9I26n3
were okay," I continued to lie. "But as we continued, we had a little 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzkOPxLSBZI
bit of a conflict here and there. It's nothing that serious."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOmBC9hQkDj
"Then why isn't he talking to you?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANASC5QzeZnOS
"I don't know." I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANADuIWVBVQi2
shrugged. "Some of us just wake up on the wrong side of the bed and we 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYQTpHBcHtX
don't tend to talk to some people. I didn't want to tell you earlier 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2HEsoFIJrU
since I noticed his behaviour from the beginning. Maybe it's in some way1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnWwhJ4KhAz
related to that. I don't know."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAsmi18YmMfw
I hope the last bits of 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAS2cIjye8g9
my sentence would make Taeyang believe my lie. And I hoped he wouldn't 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEQRcqanRAO
ask me any further. I still couldn't tell him that his best friend 1171Please respect copyright.PENANALBFEsXhPbY
despite looking so sober yesterday, came drunk. It wouldn't feel right, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAv4Z3f9V0yW
especially for G-Dragon. It somehow wasn't clearly his fault that he 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQTOPTa5P0A
came in that way. I was to blame for it too.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3yNaQE2HGP
"Oh. I thought the two 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAc0HooIvs9c
of you were still not talking to each other because of that previous 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZon2OecXX7
argument about all of us working on the lyrics together."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAcNaZzrnUeM
All I could do was put 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVleuDXWbTR
up a fake smile to assure Tae that it wasn't about that. I hated lying 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAGZTT0XS1C
to him and I couldn't tell him that apart from my stupid idea about 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAE0oot3b4le
working on the lyrics, there was another reason why G-Dragon was still 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfqa4NhqekY
mad at me. Taeyang quickly changed the topic and I was glad that I could1171Please respect copyright.PENANADelwjObnoB
finally get a breather.1171Please respect copyright.PENANATOOG3DwaeZ
It was fifteen minutes 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMEhQPIfDBO
till the event and soon the makeup artists came into the room to get us 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAC8LIWTWtsg
ready. We were remaining with five more minutes and we were quickly told1171Please respect copyright.PENANABEEDdHPkd7
that it was time to go and that the security would escort us up on 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9tYt0AwL35
stage.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYDF4CLXfwf
"OMG, guys! Who's ready for this!" Zoey asked as she rubbed her hands and bounced on her feet nervously.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzA8aB29G1P
"Not me," said Daniel. "I'm actually terrified."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPcy3ZHWlIj
"Please, it's not like the people out there don't like you," I said. "They are our fans for a reason."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3XCNsTdLRf
"Come on, we better get going," said Seungri. "This is going to be exciting."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAl8nRbaxSDy
"Tell me about it," I muttered to myself. Luckily no one heard, not even Taeyang who stood next to me.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkzMAzSrOsv
We started filing out of1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6670WXq9nX
the room and I was the last one. Just before I took a further step out 1171Please respect copyright.PENANALpHuPnsQkz
of the door, Collins came and stood right in front of me. That’s weird. I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAF6EO4FI4jC
hadn't even noticed him coming in the hallway and the others were 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAse8mhERFBU
leaving me behind, not one of them giving a backward glance.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3NLWuXUvIa
"What's going on, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9F25DezlgM
Collins?" I asked as I looked past his shoulder hoping to see if the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfKRFVawgKS
others had noticed and were waiting along the hallway, but nothing. They1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVgS0tZ4ZWT
had disappeared round a corner.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwyfsL7PvYm
"Get inside, Sam," was all Collins said to me, motioning me with his head to go back in the room.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlEsFvG4oqX
I noticed his tone was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzLyN3u7kA0
serious and without my eyes leaving his face, I took a few steps back 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOykTUAeroA
into the room. Collins then came in and Yang Hyun-suk quickly followed 1171Please respect copyright.PENANABGfmnutW1w
behind him. This was strange. I hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk in the hall1171Please respect copyright.PENANABap3RoSKey
either. This sent weird vibes to my brain and I knew something was up. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtfgo2Ts4EY
The two managers looked at me with serious looks on their faces. I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZNI9k7EX5c
figured I might have done something wrong for them to want to talk to me1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQd95WY25GO
alone. But what was it then? It can't be related to G-Dragon and I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXYdk9UuV8s
arguing the other day.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnIUDQvFo6d
No. I ruled that out 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvhfpNV7DqE
immediately. They possibly couldn't have known all that. I trusted Lee 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeuLXIv7mZ1
didn't say anything. But why hold me up alone in the room if I wasn't in1171Please respect copyright.PENANAhv51WnY71r
trouble?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJffKGVVrhk
"May I ask what's going on here?" I asked. "I'm I in some kind of trouble?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8wIKpKVroF
"No, you're not, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We wanted you to stay behind for another reason."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnHCGJrvPgu
Phew! I wasn't in trouble then. "May I kindly ask why?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzGkVZpWAOy
"It's about the surprise."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8wjs9clNR
I thought I felt 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZJrJ5yajbp
something in my brain shatter like glass. I knew the surprise had to do 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8rqeDHnvtP
with me. I knew it! I knew it! I KNEW IT!1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlvo9z63d3c
"Huh...." I scratched my head, trying to look confused in front the managers. "So what's about the surprise?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxUdOSP2x09
Before they could say 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAn3mQSDmFG3
anything, Lee came in the room since the door already stood ajar. She 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUiI0Sns2YN
had a big wide box in her hands. Was this the surprise? And why were 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0BApz7pX1F
they giving it to me? I thought the surprise was something for the whole1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMX2seK330H
world to see. What was going on here?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdMtG9pbudM
"Wait, what's that?" I asked as I pointed at the box, while I faced the managers.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7RgBGzlW1f
"That, Sam," said Collins as he looked at the box, "is the surprise."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQjwSnMTmVG
My mouth fell open and I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYYL4kVgTPE
had no words. What was in there? I looked at Lee to see if she could 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZiWEeckw4v
give me a hint or something, but all she gave me was an apologetic look.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZUFbji6BQh
I didn’t like this at all.1171Please respect copyright.PENANALLmwpFqm9l
"You can open the box 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAoIAgNbbsMw
now, Lee," said Collins, as he put his hands in his pockets. He had a 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4zaiFKpzcX
little smile on his face, including Yang Hyun-suk. I slowly turned away 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGx8iQFluor
from my managers and I looked at Lee and the box. She slowly opened the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0HTBIWR6zs
lid and dropped it to the floor. What I saw in the box gave me 1171Please respect copyright.PENANALiKjy4uRgi
goosebumps.1171Please respect copyright.PENANApUK6WmJm9x
"So? What do you think?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, this time, with a grin.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvstCBPEdLZ
I still had no words. I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1NrwT01U2z
was as shocked as before and I was startled just by looking at what was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAz8XFfxf0KS
in the box. Now I understood when Lee said the surprise was for the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGd1owGxPps
whole world to see.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUHwvWcmhsq
I looked at the managers, then at Lee and lastly at what was inside the box.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfcevjTbF4i
I am so dead!1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5sOORVyugn
***1171Please respect copyright.PENANARuamvg4Ezr
I couldn't help myself 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGBIQoF6WI4
from scratching as I walked along the hall with a body guard ahead and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHlwoeFbzGx
the managers and Lee behind me. As we were heading backstage, I could 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmohzHYrB5g
hear the sound of the fans in the huge hall and I was pretty nervous. Oh1171Please respect copyright.PENANASGxDrCVq65
gosh! I couldn't even wipe my sweaty palms. This was just great!1171Please respect copyright.PENANAH6d8foWFIR
When we were backstage, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAbvgxC52qup
my heart continued to beat with each dying minute. The fans were 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAT6jLp9Knzq
probably waiting since the event couldn't start without me. I bet they 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAt9O9m7piWO
were wondering where I was and probably my group members too.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGJPBzyqt48
I stood behind the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6CTdJJ8yZk
curtain and I pulled it away a bit to see what was going on. There was a1171Please respect copyright.PENANAH6rvljkPg6
long table on stage and all my group members and BigBang members sat 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5Tfcyhqjxk
there waiting for me. They looked to be talking amongst themselves, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAECRBfilzyT
obviously wondering why I took so long. I looked to the side of the fans1171Please respect copyright.PENANArC64cFdN82
and I could see the place was fully packed.1171Please respect copyright.PENANApbanEc0mWH
There was noise from the1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVv2iuII5IP
fans and there were camera lights everywhere as well. I looked back at 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6PEDSFLiKF
the table on stage and I saw that one seat was vacant right next to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANABozLnC8Vke
G-Dragon. Seriously?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAy5ggB2t4Bp
To be honest, I didn't want to sit next to him. Not when he was giving me the silent treatment.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAoBtLTq91ff
"Hey, are you ready?" 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7J4eBsWFgF
Lee startled me from behind and I almost jumped, slightly moving the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANATLcWv74hEC
curtain. I looked at her gave her a frown.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZWCMSgDAz
"Don't scare me like that!" I said silently as I held my forehead.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqfHBk7A85R
"Sorry. Just wanted to see if you're alright."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVxIoryYZsC
"Alright? I'm not alright! I've changed my mind. I'm not going on stage."1171Please respect copyright.PENANADvAjeZeWFS
"You can't do that and you know it. You have to go out there or else the fans will start to worry."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8AqxbjBEmh
She was right. The fans might not worry but turn their worry into a rampage.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWPNdk42PEO
I sighed in frustration. When I go on stage, I felt things were going to be different.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKnEG4N0DfP
"Sam," came Collins as he walked up to me. "You're up. You've to go on stage."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAii7hAqHJqy
I shook my head at him. I wasn't going on stage. No way!1171Please respect copyright.PENANAodAb3c80CC
"I can't go on stage," I said. "You can kill me if you want to, but I'm not going!"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2ot4RRoiCg
"Stop acting like a 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAoKkj4kFCBv
child, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk as he came to join us. "You very well 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAo7fdtFTyGW
know the show must go on. Now do us all a favour and go."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwbHCESRqEn
"Don't do it for us," said Lee. "Do it for the fans."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1yt0KuTGUk
I never liked such kind 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvFi4THHUJR
of moments when I was told that I should do things for the people who 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxrXjc8zddk
are most important. She was right though. I was here for the fans and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANARHjWxzUZwu
nothing else.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA41jbAngLBK
I felt the back of my 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7dLMlexbVW
leg itch and all I could do was scratch it with my other foot. I slowly 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVD5v8Vl1Up
nodded my head at Lee and the two managers. I turned to face the curtain1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVLkzwGvAkX
and took in a huge deep breath, trying to calm myself. But I was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAyIuOj7h5ED
quickly disturbed by snickering behind me and I quickly looked behind 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQmYymz606R
again.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWe97qoKlFK
"Seriously, I told you not to laugh at me!" I whispered angrily at Lee.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8UHm1Hovc9
"Sorry, can't help 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAE3DfYkubDz
myself," said Lee. The urge to laugh still showed on her face and it can1171Please respect copyright.PENANAndtXBk6Opl
clearly show on the managers' faces too.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAf4cm2RcteX
"This isn't over yet," I said. "I'll get you for this one day, you will see."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3vfkbADis0
Since I was so pissed, I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAiLgxVPePDb
quickly withdrew the curtain and I went out on stage without thinking 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwIyDCqO56N
twice. I suddenly felt the change of scenery and I stood right there on 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAbErdDQ8jLS
stage, stuck. I couldn't breathe and I couldn't move. I bet everyone in 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVwdoyoZRHx
the hall was feeling the same way too. I looked out at the audience and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEQh6tZbFgB
they were all quiet. Obviously stunned at what they were seeing right 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWX0M4CNonc
now and trying to take it all in. I also felt stunned and gosh! I was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnCgt4rcPyS
trying my best not to scratch my itching butt right now in front of 1171Please respect copyright.PENANApA79J0RKOQ
everyone because all this was too embarrassing already.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZFriQ19Wl5
I looked beside me on 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3lLyDP0Wh7
stage and the other Toxins and also BigBang were also stunned, with 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAORJndrKja
their mouths open and silent as they looked at me. My head felt hot and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAezqtxNREl0
itchy and I couldn't reach out for my scalp to scratch.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0tpymfGwA7
This moment felt like 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPn6Vt5hAq8
forever when I knew I had only been on the stage for like thirty 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9wvUh2oTTI
seconds. I quickly looked at my feet which, I couldn't see anymore, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAu3oRmIIWAD
until a scream from a fan out there in the hall made me jump in fright. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvFeThBRg5i
Soon afterwards, all the fans started screaming in delight and they all 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdgieep9Gxb
stood up for me cheering and calling out my name.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAU9h2eFMPPT
For a moment, I felt 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEdrzE1nHFn
kind of shocked until I realised they weren't making fun of me but were 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFve3HQqwCA
really delighted. I put up a smile and waved at the fans. I walked up 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAk4nBohX4AT
further to the centre stage where the others were. I continued to wave 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFEMbk5CLPB
and I also blew out kisses to them. That just made them even wilder and I1171Please respect copyright.PENANALffJLdLPdy
smiled. What couldn't be better than seeing happy fans?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqwqyJ4Xc4W
I took a bow this time, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0xZwRAZ3Of
the way Koreans do as a sign of respect. That almost caused an uproar in1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOkZXWuS8Iv
the hall. All I was doing was thanking my fans out there for their 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5cKR7eyxhG
support. I bet that sent a smile on Yang Hyun-suk's face. I totally 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYWQdVGsML9
nailed it.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAU4rJId4o1J
Through out all the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEQuGfkbcaC
screaming from the fans, I heard Zoey behind me and I saw her quickly 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdzIknDJZGh
rush from behind the table to come and hug me. The fans loved it and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAoCOVonoESS
they continued to cheer some more.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuTAlvAmyF4
"OMG! Sam! You look so 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVghzz4Y2ua
adorable!" Zoey shouted so I could hear her among the screaming fans. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAc3t2PWeRJP
She stopped hugging me and looked at me from head to toe.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOB2zIaTY2H
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "Apparently, this was the surprise our managers were talking about."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAF0Fla2SwWw
Zoey pinched my cheeks 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOVLhcmuIZg
as though I was a little baby. Seungri also came up to me and instead of1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYbmwJAvxL0
receiving a hug, he pecked me on the cheek. That almost sent the fans 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAjRcNugTnBB
dying, including me since I couldn't stop blushing.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7rDoehLtCo
"Loving the new outfit, Sam," said Seungri. "Looks like you aren't cute as a black cat but also as Pikachu too."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGDy7tbCKsh
I looked down at myself 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAl1u4UuZV9a
and I couldn't tell if I really did look cute in this Pikachu costume. I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkXIYoq2pxc
still felt hot and itchy in it despite it being new. I knew I looked 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAbNfdwMe9H
ridiculous and I had objected to wearing it the first time I saw it.1171Please respect copyright.PENANADHYkGtkIkq
"Thanks, Seungri," I said with a smile.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAN7jNmm92UP
Zoey still couldn't stop1171Please respect copyright.PENANA298sfyq8AK
looking at me with an adoring smile. Obviously still trying to take in 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8uNjUUB5Mx
what she was seeing. The others soon came from behind the table to hug 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIGEAc5835O
me. They all made funny cute jokes about my Pikachu outfit.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdiHuHu3mwV
TOP and Taeyang even 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgimALtQ5pm
made fun of my tail, that looked like a symbol of a power charge, by 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgrivgvGmzi
pulling at it a few times. I quickly held the tail in my hand giving 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzLwyqEcGL3
them an angry stare. I had to admit, I felt kind of possessive over my 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAW6b3i7OqvW
tail and the fans couldn't help but laugh at the sudden show of comedy 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUoG71agc8t
on stage.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6raHnlV4v3
Christine and Daniel 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZPg1CVQPzG
also made fun of the ears and they tagged at them as well. The others 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA2DaP6XW42o
were having so much fun as they continued to smile at me and pass out 1171Please respect copyright.PENANArBhLdWK1xZ
silly comments.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAS6LDk9nXHC
I was so caught up with 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXxyIYh0Xjy
their attention, I completely forgot about G-Dragon. I turned to look at1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYHHZwrBsg3
the table and he wasn't there. That was strange. Where was he?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkxWplYFKpx
I soon realised that he 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWtr5ELH7Kr
had just turned round the table and was coming up to me. I felt my face 1171Please respect copyright.PENANABQQFF2tqbV
grow hot at his sudden approach and he looked kind of serious. Was he 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYMEDTXHXow
going to make fun of me? Well, a lot of people probably have but I don't1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnmcv75hkSI
know what G-Dragon was going to say.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzijrQBvary
I absent mindley 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6wAXyFwJOT
scratched my nose. My fingers weren't so much in use right now under the1171Please respect copyright.PENANADDn9yYmOiv
costume so it was kind of difficult to scratch. I heard an "Awww!" in 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAT6p5Hk2h2b
the crowd. The fans must have obviously found that cute. Even Christine 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvKleLb1opG
and Zoey couldn't help but find it cute too.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQfRKRdfYnD
"Awww, so cute," said Christine.1171Please respect copyright.PENANArYbQvajEH5
"Do that again so that I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZasZCIAjAf
can put that on video and send it to mum," said Mike who already had 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAe1IWuRMm8
his phone out and taking a video. "Mum is going to love it."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnwEK55IJwm
That to me wasn't all 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgoEsqMex2V
that important right now. What was worrying me was G-Dragon as he got 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7BYQVA26UL
closer. I gulped and I couldn't breathe. I felt like running off the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAa3n5DgTncX
stage and not only will that paint a funny picture, people will start to1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdc5D5iKIa3
wonder what's going on. I stood still like a statue, ready for the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAu1u7JKWNhE
worst.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAX2vA4cJjAf
As GD stood in front of 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWjvMK4bwfg
me, I heard Taeyang speak through the mic. Where did the microphone even1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmzbDKol0tQ
come from? I wasn't going to ask because what Taeyang said almost made 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvdRa1aU7VY
me drop dead.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMhz1SuOqmz
"So, GD? What do you think of Sam's outfit? Does she look pretty?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwqwafJpLrW
I looked and felt 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFuoMePsPMy
ridiculous if he'd asked me. Taeyang first asked in English then in 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3XonLQvj7q
Korean. I couldn't stop the itchiness that now crept up my body, this 1171Please respect copyright.PENANANXpQyXk9Zf
time in full force.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAovthfjQnua
I continued to look at 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPvpCzsXHcN
G-Dragon, who was still not giving me a hint of a smile. He was really 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAKDgMllNyMq
making this hard for me. He should at least smile a little. G-Dragon 1171Please respect copyright.PENANASQDvR6wR7B
took the mic from Taeyang and my heart continued to beat even faster. I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAz82SN4H90B
wanted to cover my face for the hammer blow I was about to receive, but 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwZk8ghUlCV
that would only show that I was being shy in front of him. GD brought 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0au7598Tbf
the mic to his lips and I balled up my sweaty hands into fists.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAaiYbKCRPOd
"She looks really 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAY6mlzopMGV
ridiculous," said G-Dragon. Well, at least he was being honest but it 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIbnbomUOYF
still came out as a shocker for me, and also the fans too.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0ToKxtgsv3
I felt my heart ache a little and my eyes starting to tear up. Was that pain I felt?1171Please respect copyright.PENANAiWuHNQkIeP
"But she looks so darn 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAaFDN3xj2Zb
cute at the same time," this time G-Dragon put up a smile and he pinched1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZs1U9d5hxb
my cheeks just like the others had done earlier. I thought he was going1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdOeRwWp2kw
to pinch me real hard, but he didn't. I tried to hold back my smile as I1171Please respect copyright.PENANA09b9aEZGjT
blushed.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAyriN7WEDnE
Afterwards, G-Dragon did1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3HwNqh2AhU
the unexpected. He hugged me! And this sent the fans cheering so loudly1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOhngUnPBNN
I thought my eardrums might just burst. I was shocked by his gesture. I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAByBKMqR5oL
thought pinching my cheeks was enough, but he had to hug me too.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA4pwzFU9pR1
When I looked at Taeyang1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlaQoCJaEhA
who stood behind his best friend, I saw him smile widely. I hoped that 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAn3RCqxekF2
settled his doubts of G-Dragon not talking to me. When G-Dragon pulled 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAVD9YTpLIVk
away from hugging me, he took me by the hand and led me at the back of 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXZ1s9omLSz
the table where we took our seats. Again, I wasn't really expecting 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgGmcEZ5irj
that.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEcGNjQyyf1
The others soon came to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqoDQVOPAny
join us at table. It was time for the fan signing event to begin. I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAy1sDQ75fA8
thought that time would never come given that ever since I wore this 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIC1wVx0Ktd
Pikachu costume, time seemed to have slowed down a little.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA30KG8F9KGx
Daesung and Zoey took 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkRpADdiba0
the floor by giving out the opening remarks. Soon afterwards, the fans 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAhZviVRRqBi
signing event begun. There was a line of fans down the stage and the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANANA3ZQZ0i13
guards only selected ten fans to come up.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZPZmFj1w4X
At first, I was nervous 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuA6mc43pII
when a fan girl came to sit down in front of me. But when she gave me a 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAELtMqilAqp
cute smile, that kind of subsided my fear for a while and I also gave 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7itUvlml5N
her a smile. We started to talk a little and she shyly gave out cute 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAoGMziPtjwK
compliments about my Pikachu costume. It actually felt kind of nice to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAyYhOM1feI2
talk to her and in the end, she ended up giving me a handmade bracelet. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfbMT8dYaj4
It was really beautiful and it looked like she put all her hard work 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA57GT5OwVFK
into and I loved it. I made her put the bracelet on my wrist. Well, my 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5YjlhXK675
Pikachu wrist. Yang Hyun-suk did say the fans might just give us gifts 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAV1oIoepsBU
which sounded a little awkward at first but it really made a pretty nice1171Please respect copyright.PENANAovrQAqy0Sm
gesture. After the fan put a bracelet around me, I gave her a high-five1171Please respect copyright.PENANADpBsmsGHEv
and signed an autograph for her.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPy451hSjyd
The fan signing event 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwliLH3T8Gh
felt like forever. Within an hour, I had tons of gifts from the fans. I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANASWGDCRY5a0
also had a crown of flowers on top of my head and so did the rest of my 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAygKy9fV4LD
group members and BigBang.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6c6zwpSsGF
We obviously looked cute1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJKZz8lrCSE
with those crowns over our heads. I obviously looked ten times cuter 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHq6eZDniIj
with my Pikachu costume on. No need to brag or anything. After yet 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmNYNcsWxos
another hour, the fan signing event was over. I really had a fun time 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAi7oDbvLkrc
and I didn't feel tired at all. I bet the fans who couldn't make it for 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7tm9xqdCq5
the event were probably watching the videos online and I knew they felt 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAm0dv0Z3Tr6
like they were here too.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFAUS82yjuq
G-Dragon gave the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEz0T5sH4Lm
closing remarks. It was soon time to leave the stage and there was a 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOzOi3mmBtj
sigh of disapproval from the fans. It was obvious they didn't want us to1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUT8ks3To3r
leave but we had to. I also didn't want to leave. They were such 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAsvxBBaDJpW
amazing fans and getting to interact with them was really fun. I was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8wkDb3BeOu
hoping to do it again soon, but I realised that we weren't going to stay1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlUrF9vODhx
for long.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5Penhy9R5g
Before we left the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAp7CxIWsDn2
stage, we all took the centre stage and we bowed to the fans. I hope 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEqcjU7orlA
that made quite a happy ending for them. The fans cheered and clapped. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvTYK7qniB7
They also started to chant the words "The Toxins" and "BigBang". It was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqvRwvLpnwz
amazing and I couldn't help but smile.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAPz0Tr33I2E
We soon left the stage and we found our managers and Lee. "Well, that went well, didn't it?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAh2NrhgmKVX
"It sure did with our 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHGhIkRyGdd
Pikachu here," said TOP as he raised his hand to try and tug at the ears1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYSGV2LI4XH
of my costume. I quickly slapped his hand away in annoyance and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWNa8fUgx1e
everyone laughed.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgtFS1IuYHU
"We should have believed1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGOulnzK46Z
Sam when she told us that the surprise was all about her," said Mike. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAh8qqqEbqm7
"Who knew she would end up wearing this cute costume?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtsO0JXkZPi
I slapped my face in 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMLnAuN7EqH
frustration as the two managers now looked at me with shocked looks on 1171Please respect copyright.PENANANGgw7Sb3tK
their faces. Mike shouldn't have brought that up in front of them.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgMele7Xan7
"How did you know all this?" Collins asked. Then he turned to look at Lee. "Lee?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAB0FFg2kiiX
"Don't look at me," said Lee with her hands up in surrender. "I never told her about the costume."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAv82HweND1O
"My gut feeling told me 1171Please respect copyright.PENANADkiXr2L1FY
that the surprise had to do with me," I explained. "I didn't know it had1171Please respect copyright.PENANAlFmCz06yCP
anything to do with the costume."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAiYIZKNIAzH
"And as usual, she was right," said Zoey as she put her hand on my shoulder. "How can we have ever doubted you?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANAuTI0N6QCtZ
"You do that all the time," I answered with my eyebrows raised.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7uvRKyi0E6
"Looks like you have one strong gut," said Daesung. "No wonder you trust it more than anything or anyone else."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ8jqBwObP
I smiled at Daesung. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAAj4GaK4t5c
"Ya, I always do," I said this as I patted my tummy. "Speaking of guts, 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA076HnSZoSK
I'm really hungry right now. All I had was water out there and I'm 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgkXoQ5ETGe
starving."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdPVog3cVOC
"Same here," said Daniel.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqDtomzfK4u
"Well, you guys all deserve a feast today, so why don't we all go to the best restaurant in town?" Yang Hyun-suk suggested.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAIGoCOzGOCV
"Oh, yes, please!" Christine and Seungri said at the same time.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgimskFg2OV
"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Taeyang.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmLej2seLT3
"Wait a minute," said 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAsp1CmNL7F7
G-Dragon. Everyone paused and turned to look at G-Dragon. "We can't 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAoI9kLbSTs2
leave without taking a group photo," he said with a smile on his face.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAOtZKj6hzKQ
"Ya, I wouldn't like to leave this place without all of us taking a photo," said Zoey. "For memories sake."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAF1BmGoJ2dQ
"Okay, you guys gather around and I'll take the photo," said Yang Hyun-suk.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAm8XBgWyizv
The two groups gathered 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkZUVXuliGp
around together and I surprisingly found myself close to G-Dragon, who 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwmpPxlFGfw
didn't seem to mind at all. In fact, he looked really happy. Maybe he 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAbw5AUxIZWK
was back to his old self again. Well, hopefully. I noticed the time we 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqSNz7fpKmO
sat down together on stage that he kept on giving me sideway glances and1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJpRzNjyCUc
smiling. I obviously looked ridiculous in his eyes and I pretended not 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAI9xno7mgve
to notice his glance as I kept on talking to the fans. But all in all, I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAv7pQGAVvCR
hoped he would stay like that forever.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAHg3bCzxFqE
After taking a few 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAsbBBDAmEZh
photos and posing in weird and ridiculous ways, we also took a few 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA22NYd7OwCD
photos with Lee and our managers. Soon, almost everyone had their phones1171Please respect copyright.PENANAK4TEaBP5S4
out to take selfies and group photos. It was so much fun.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAab66FVGWJi
"Okay, now that we're 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAUYWuOYqMXf
done, can I please go take out this costume?" I asked. "I don't want to 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAcruiwIDUST
go to a restaurant looking like this."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGy6VKzmdIe
"No, don't take it off," said Mike. "We still need Pikachu around."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmvmsZWXr8w
"But what for? The event is over and I really need to change."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8HkSmCMq4y
"Just stay in it for a 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAWpwQTSLgZ7
little while longer," said Seungri. "I bet the fans want to see you in 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtuLgamaFfl
this the whole day. Besides, you already look too cute to take it off 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5ctX7VrdCf
now."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwf8hVLyXwY
"Ya, I also agree," said G-Dragon. "The day isn't far from over and we will still need you in that adorable costume."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnkUw0iwjvT
Did I hear GD right or 1171Please respect copyright.PENANArdyeMgVruI
did he just say adorable? I blushed like crazy and I thought twice of 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAxiY5t9Kxbg
keeping it on. But I shook my head and protested some more.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZawnFpA8zX
"No, guys. I really do need to change. You don't know how itchy this costume is."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAMkf4yxN7B1
"Please, Sam!" Zoey pleaded, giving me the puppy dog eyes. "Come on, Sam," said Taeyang.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAmZVsjHrocG
Everyone started 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXlJ30chlbq
taunting me about not taking the costume off. Even Lee and the two 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAeZTkK8864P
managers joined in. I rolled my eyes and covered my ears, but that 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgQzNPSzQSn
somehow didn't stop their voices from taunting me. I finally gave up.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAYjDCV25Fc4
"Okay, fine," I said as I1171Please respect copyright.PENANAfDxdXzPcMi
raised my hands to silence them. "I'll stay in the costume but let's 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAttmCXmj9no
not go to a restaurant. That will be weird."1171Please respect copyright.PENANA0Oq4SR4HmW
"Okay, then where should we go?" TOP asked.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAkEP7vH6zLe
"Let's go to some open 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEzUBgjGEqU
food court or something at the mall," I said. "That will be great and 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnPkSF2KDgv
right now, I really need some junk food. Besides, the fans would love to1171Please respect copyright.PENANA9hkA7OE8j9
see us in the open and interact with us, don't you think?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA1UFn04TqRl
"That's not such a bad idea," said Yang Hyun-suk. "You really do come up with good ideas."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAdACJQWcJ4m
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "What are we waiting for? I'm dying of hunger and I'm in need of a burger right now."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAJuEFhPBOKJ
"Okay, then, let's go," said Collins. We followed our managers leaving the backstage and heading out back the way we came.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwSGxoz5eH0
I had to excuse myself 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAGYLFDaUTud
from the others when I realised that I had left my phone in the dressing1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8WemSw7zNf
room. When I got to the dressing room, I found my phone on one of the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXmZqQbWm19
leather seats.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAzvjLi3qWvv
When I got my phone, I 1171Please respect copyright.PENANASiN29jP9Z9
paused for a second. I felt the hairs at the back of my neck rise. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAEiGw1IgrVx
Someone was in the room with me. But who? I dared not to breath or move.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA50tXDPPWHb
Was it one of the organising team of the event? No, something felt off 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAvz7eAl6Mot
and I wasn't liking it at all. Was this person trying to attack me? 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQbKhYkCR7G
Well, I hope not.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA3DY9r7appm
The sound of soft 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7N8uHh3C6R
footfalls filled my ears. I was one good listener and I knew the person 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtzESeq0QtD
in the room was either trying to creep up on me or was planning to bolt.1171Please respect copyright.PENANARIh4H4kS2X
I quickly turned around to catch the person off guard, but I was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAldBrqatd0f
already too late.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAF0syzLRldH
The person had planned 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAqn4rhvOW0Z
on bolting and the door swung open. I quickly ran to the door and looked1171Please respect copyright.PENANAZmjqKtbcxF
down the hall. There was no one there. Whoever was here was probably 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAU5SxVDD9BQ
fast enough to make him or herself disappear. The person must have 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAI8twlHPkfN
hidden behind the door for a good escape. A started to think of the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANA809ADHB4t1
worst and I remembered what happened on Thursday when I had gone to the 1171Please respect copyright.PENANARuH9P6v0s5
park. It was obviously the same person and I had no doubt about it.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAaOGgykwnS3
As I made my way to the exit, I found the others all settled in the car apart from Zoey.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAXm2QlXdGBH
"Hey, why aren't you in the car?" I asked.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAiHPaa1Vi2h
"I was waiting for my Pikachu," said Zoey.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA8NuhmorBZw
"Looks like that's my new nickname," I said.1171Please respect copyright.PENANA5QNCdbOcTz
"Ya. Hey, are you okay? You look to be somewhere other than here."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2oS2TGB6q
"No, I'm fine. Um, did you see anyone come out through the exit?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA6nEUpGG8Vz
"No. No one came out there apart from you. Is there something wrong?"1171Please respect copyright.PENANA7MudIQkzm6
I thought of what to say1171Please respect copyright.PENANARot1lAtozO
next. But now, wasn't the time to tell Zoey about the stranger. It was 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAnqx1WiL9yr
only going to spook her and she would tell the others, obviously. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwzz2iNSKhU
Besides, it was best I found out who that mysterious person was myself. 1171Please respect copyright.PENANAwfb5kelt39
Right now, everyone seemed to be in a good mood, even G-Dragon. I wasn't1171Please respect copyright.PENANAtOV5pl3wLu
going to ruin this now.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAP2sD28FvUP
"Forget it, I'm hungry," I said, shaking my head. "Let's go."1171Please respect copyright.PENANAgyuuqxCSuf
"I thought you were never going to say that," said Zoey.1171Please respect copyright.PENANAFjcpNmdLBK
She put her arm around me and the two of us got into the car with big smiles on our faces.
