My body ached all over 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoFo5kfNAdG
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUHZfYEAeTN
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPlu5pINBaJ
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAm8F1xNjiDE
bed.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAt9F7IG0dqr
I scratched my head as I1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJwUVEr56qd
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9AWDCRECh2
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA39iIoZwfOU
he found me here.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPKXgWHZ4IN
I slowly stood up and I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAabYBx1p92Z
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAceot7OSQuD
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAICPvG0hv5k
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1179Please respect copyright.PENANANsTEcfE39i
"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAx3rUNlfqfZ
I almost jumped in 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYRYt198idG
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1179Please respect copyright.PENANALeD1XRv3oT
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzRNo9Ubw38
obviously reading the news online.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMePwGCGh7r
"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwiLHAmyYTI
"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1zuHyNzQ0B
"'Don't tire yourself 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZ93JbJsrpx
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMBZF2CF9zB
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZvrHv9CQy
"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGuwYuDGnXR
"Oh, you were listening?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAl7uw8duruc
"Ya, you kept on playing1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5FmBqwHnfZ
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYQjOMBfnPy
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1179Please respect copyright.PENANALbq2HQJAVF
"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAelmvcmX279
"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0xpSpPH0eE
"For covering me with a blanket."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1rVuQC5ER6
Collins looked at me 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA698Lx4zusm
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPUwY5LutuJ
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYg1BWqwijR
"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAeog5B5WFE9
"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAz0VDEbKgab
"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHBvw78zIbt
"Me too."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhudDYnKHxy
"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzxT8MimJMr
Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdAj9dyZN09
"Going to take a shower," I said.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzdJp3VhKhU
"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmPyUcHEfKp
After I freshened myself1179Please respect copyright.PENANASPunbmfqBn
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsD13bf1PTA
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1179Please respect copyright.PENANAH5ewPvWGI1
Collins was still on his tablet.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgkm1KvekkO
"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAlCfXoi4ZKH
"Nope. Just looking at 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJixhdUN4c4
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA98di8j3EAx
coming back late at night with the others."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJi3QcvkVga
"Are they having a good time?" I got a slice of bread that laid on the middle of the table and was applying marmalade on it.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAC7wGzvZOd7
"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAycO98cVnRa
"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJnEsiuvfii
"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1179Please respect copyright.PENANApE3TP5cBwi
Collins handed his 1179Please respect copyright.PENANADIebqoMo0m
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANARksXVVRCSj
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAO36Y3CiHPV
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzAB5j1XpYD
having a great time.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA27ju77uPrH
"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHGRDUztqqx
"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfjfUntcT4y
I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwKsN0FuBzx
"They should have as 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdNIaNh7sXk
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1179Please respect copyright.PENANARVk5g8Zgr5
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6kLFRCzWDD
"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1179Please respect copyright.PENANARLhxblGUM1
"No, it's not about the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAP9DczCveE1
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5iBmTshqey
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1179Please respect copyright.PENANArhdDxRmTvt
I looked at Lee who sat 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA05K4chRx7M
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPB8AhnnaE1
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgm9oybHeWm
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7SGeewo7CL
"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1179Please respect copyright.PENANATWcPztcFVa
"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGpbsIXIbfr
I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAkA6MZgXAqd
"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZrerz3upHf
"If I tell you, I'll 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAcm5KyNXiKF
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXW52IPUhNy
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAavDs6Swl8Z
Collins got up from his 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAiGA5jsCqil
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtfkICyZsoj
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqEyDSuVrzY
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAnaGxFAWVdm
"What do you know?" I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMm8XguriR4
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1179Please respect copyright.PENANApHFCsiyvF8
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAuFNddQf669
detective asking questions to a criminal.1179Please respect copyright.PENANACwkeWYDRyN
"I don't know," Lee 1179Please respect copyright.PENANASMRCY1OF3P
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQTh54Z9JIn
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoRNBAiCuks
I knew something was up 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5eNuzasVoN
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtqGnX5xpyV
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1179Please respect copyright.PENANArNbYLNavxp
"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYbfH8utW2B
"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAF1g0fUfKCQ
"Well, hopefully." I blew out a puff of air and shook my head as I thought of what happened to G-Dragon and I yesterday.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPTOEDy49yf
"Hey, what's wrong?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6os3oVbAnN
"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzMiTegXtuR
"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxxRlSXRrXL
"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYluB3oafaP
Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHbfUfxPAlK
"Well, kind of," I said 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAlelQkh6ldo
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAAmKJrYCZZs
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUdx6mqQB57
"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQg3uN485qM
"Okay."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzKkSrJtVU8
I was just done eating my breakfast when Collins came to tell us that it was time to go. I carried the guitar and my notebook.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzDlLA8JjaP
Lee, Collins and I soon 1179Please respect copyright.PENANABO8E7KxdHx
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9dZvSGF5Fk
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmoTmaUBhF4
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOwjptZ0G1n
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUjzl5bBZsX
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA61YLaJtMV7
I was waiting in th 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAh3tmeOj6sx
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1179Please respect copyright.PENANArxgt2EoTEG
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFvKDQtg4XV
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdQquOeUmcq
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1179Please respect copyright.PENANATaVQ6pQaTa
I was pacing up and down1179Please respect copyright.PENANAB7gKI8s3gr
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4PnSpfPxIb
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFkroKl79nU
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWeE8yFpXgY
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAefEBNMBjiG
and I was so nervous.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIbsyTGB0ek
"Here she is," said Lee,1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbNdOCFSzAj
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAE1IH9p2wvJ
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAnw83tinKox
you, Tae."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3HUUh11n6R
I frowned at Lee and I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXLX5lRV9C4
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWPpyWwibmG
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1179Please respect copyright.PENANATh1VyBq1Hz
friend.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqe1Y0aqxjR
"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1179Please respect copyright.PENANANDeCR8niGP
"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAL44ZdyUAiD
"I told Taeyang that I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAelvccK6wAS
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAN6P36ZmBCk
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAk1ZwWUkedx
"Our manager called me 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsDFFwTHhR1
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPk2C53rd29
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPrJjY21r3l
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbqVbb59yzH
"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhRFhXief5u
"I'll go and check on the managers and see what's taking them so long," said Lee as she started to head out of the room.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAelwRLYCNIw
I wanted to call out to her and tell her to let it be. I didn't want our managers here just yet. But she had already left.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZcDxDomcUj
"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA05QjXdKskQ
"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ9I7hw9nc
"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAg1Z38vvJKt
"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmkY2z007K3
"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAlsx88P75IJ
"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMU3Z7GMzES
"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8vvAls5Ths
"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQkroXvvSmu
"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxVprNjD5uw
"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVzpn7BLkRi
"Sure."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmfckkSBoej
I gave Taeyang my 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAAtb0D0SzAw
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1aBVQQZvXr
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwyDPjKCYll
cute together.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdK3oAm2Fuu
"I can't wait for you to sing the song for us," said Hyo-rin as she looked at me. "The lyrics sound really good."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6A24keHpbZ
"Thanks. I was singing 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAv4lKzAtqlu
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1179Please respect copyright.PENANAlYorr4kXLL
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAKbYwKlQWHo
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1179Please respect copyright.PENANARq8LpC6izi
"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANACW89ZmRgqU
"Well...not really," I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAX9mPDc5CEe
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPSMOsqoE3a
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtU2YmQ66Zp
"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzuh03XdPyH
"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxnOmlePWZu
I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAR9hSvcbVvy
The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAx9TMQdT3RI
"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdqtP2JjT2m
"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6C7ZRvCjFB
"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5LKtyjLL19
"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyT59RbbiUj
"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUEtAgfYcN3
Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYpQBPswbfq
"Right now."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZbn84Bssse
We all turned towards 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqSEoCS1vsy
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6mTtcaire
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAuTwiUOvKCz
When everyone got 1179Please respect copyright.PENANARZJUbhfCkr
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANALZXeU1rj2j
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvjDpcogTZe
run out of the room.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFttaKs4bik
"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAul2eWrmP25
I nodded my head and my 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAD42rDyhUxm
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOA6mNZaRBE
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVVyru5Iw0V
ever got to play it.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAcShmV9xfGm
I felt a break of sweat 1179Please respect copyright.PENANARlMuz0XYFO
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMibAdCK2y0
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqQhLISDcXP
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4vxE91SCwe
strung the strings on the guitar.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0DSq4UIKdo
I started to sing as I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA02cSRPPS72
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1179Please respect copyright.PENANABYWpJSEcYm
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4d34h49TpV
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvJm9gFVEQv
didn't. Well, I hope so.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2HApvY3mVX
As soon as I was done 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYvIgC2qy4H
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAusX2dhPoVN
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxE7a9pithh
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANACSgkSmmwVm
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFqpUaiB1mU
hoped they liked it.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhiy7aLYHV5
The studio was still 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8J6xwGN6Dz
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAew2UPFoipj
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8sKgpzB2qc
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmHf3vAImiR
Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZ64kpTRiZn
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1179Please respect copyright.PENANASB9foQQdQW
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAN7a9v3NjY4
"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAW57XpXBMna
This was it. The hammer 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAkHWK0ECXYU
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXX4RrM32OK
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMHxjm8ZeEv
"....incredible."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPeDp5a4Y7k
I opened my eyes and I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANApjJIVy5wVs
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ6izR1FHl
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAc9jPesgqBq
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMJTkiLYmZi
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPBxlvVagPA
"I've to admit, when 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAS256RXHhOo
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1179Please respect copyright.PENANANwR6RPhay5
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtFmctlvPrv
"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbTd6i5xk7m
"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAw6jeXGT0oQ
"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAu7IAjODQGU
"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAjdCNWPZHU4
"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYnqhk80kSq
"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4myoCs59Es
I couldn't stop smiling 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVvo0rrImSS
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1179Please respect copyright.PENANArH4vn5b5iB
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2TdUpIE5oT
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMm5K9Gx5iM
good voice and a golden one.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAh8as538uHd
Immediately our managers1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWeM3v09Dm9
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1FmhgBS9bw
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxzsaC9fzMi
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGwQLq2X92p
musical instruments.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8xq5ITuaPY
This was always the hard1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhsFJgC3E7H
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9cu5749fdM
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPeU8CxFi5K
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUmR3jhERzy
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAuBaWqzmaMW
An hour had passed and I1179Please respect copyright.PENANAi8fbCRDWXV
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAc2bdt2v7KL
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAF3npOY05Dj
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFTi563yijK
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAF1Rtc4DTio
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAE7nT94kPoG
"It's been an hour and I1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0cYdhfpQJZ
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1179Please respect copyright.PENANAh5vPrD5wp7
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqggcQ5WSVS
"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4xt939hC9z
"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtjNPtjHwkX
"Trust me, you're so 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7A5fZo0d4X
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAshunn6zAbw
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5gJHLoiL6A
"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAkDHhSsESCJ
"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1FbuBdfhfO
"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZKj6Fj501
"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAaWYQCXxYcY
"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvGQHdP2jSc
"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1179Please respect copyright.PENANArDpga0AO0P
"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJxfoPAiZYX
"Mmmm." I murmured in 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsk2jKd93YJ
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAKFdc2nRQr1
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsJZCzu1ee4
masseur."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAthJOtD4lB5
"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2CYaEfzc45
I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAnEd8MShKQe
The music producer soon 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOomSaA7RSY
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAweUyPuklSH
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8WuJTaqwh7
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvsSLsujNNl
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMwcurPHeG2
recording the track.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWvax0IGX3M
We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFqX14DaAE4
"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAChlSG3wkUu
"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOIFJR3vIHX
"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1179Please respect copyright.PENANANmkjRkN09G
"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmVtwjQcXdb
I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANApBXzLvWw1L
"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvedYhtVP2k
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFWBds9D0cD
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIFH8mbPG4s
"Let me guess, you're 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7dQ3I1K095
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAL57kz0NAc0
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGISATtFf2c
"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqL4xT2yz6J
Something told me his 1179Please respect copyright.PENANADvwqcrWikS
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPs26mtQlOg
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAiRrYPc0wVT
always does.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXUcbKMYggd
"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgpJPp7fMUy
"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1179Please respect copyright.PENANABnKI0guhe6
It was late in the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANASFmqS4VsJw
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANATZMtLgUQOO
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1179Please respect copyright.PENANATVQbJtzxmn
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUHFFRQ2xFi
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1179Please respect copyright.PENANASxU0oQhqWf
"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAV6VDX6Fzqy
"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFO559UXbCz
I looked beside him and I1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOH9CYuVhd7
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYRagB6aB8s
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAkDAVXedAuD
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJYG4grJwWf
leaning my head on the console.1179Please respect copyright.PENANALnQeRrKwoL
"I always hate this part1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGNfIQd9kFr
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAkZpbFEfWVP
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAnavBQRh8BP
console.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA63rBV8sop9
"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAl10FCPtLg5
"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1179Please respect copyright.PENANANwNBfW9dTh
"I wonder what time."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXt7krDwRdE
"Wait." I pushed my head1179Please respect copyright.PENANArL1W81TDbK
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVvggyf0arK
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAKa9f9Aj1Mu
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAi6jjKyHj2k
"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAH5ROWoQOnV
"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAV1A74kEfvw
"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1179Please respect copyright.PENANALzneTowmAx
"I didn't sleep well 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAThcWU3RDVv
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAijwLLnYMTF
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGRuFfRhKBL
"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAW8CKhjOarp
"You're right." I soon 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyWZtepfpur
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA68zyDCOr0Q
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6gG7pEpfGN
"He said they might come at nine in the evening," I said when I cut the call. I was so sleepy I felt like I couldn't stand up.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAndD1OPJvet
"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAcMH2lww4RV
"Alright. Thanks."1179Please respect copyright.PENANADuRkquC0pp
"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhfAveGx8dJ
"And so will I," said Seungri.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9SDDUxVsv
"Guys, it's fine. Taeyang and Hyo-rin will take me," I said with a small smile on my face as I faced Seungri and Daesung.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAcxalYIlDg8
Immediately I left the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAuIX0eapzoL
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2hlCPKEMTK
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAU9yliIBbyQ
"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFv5Rx2RFiZ
"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIWKiwTlXG2
"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbNS0wksZGC
Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8w2CEPSQuY
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIkOhyS4JNB
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAijPJENvMBA
The next thing I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqfdlEeV8r5
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAKDAUeGljeV
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1zBXUSTatg
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAI4LGu3EZQb
I woke up by the sound 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAkHy1Swz1DT
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3DMbRdVSye
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvRJpctgD8m
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQuqIT8jyFX
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAv1x9iT6Quy
I reached out for the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUSThj6zlSR
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbtERVhdWR4
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3Fzl7pwvj4
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbmhSuXKacG
I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5PpD6mecRI
"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPd6N0GXstq
"I could hear it ringing1179Please respect copyright.PENANAChbrvmJLAq
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEds7611ktT
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqenrXNHXI2
"Thanks," I said as I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsCZCH0TKp2
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1179Please respect copyright.PENANALtGKisX2Ic
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhTD7sqBlkz
"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1179Please respect copyright.PENANArRNDYKsRpe
"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8kDQbM2WOX
"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAn6936olSvI
"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1mpYW3hBFl
Lee left the room and I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAETvIf64ZFv
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAF21tEV44jZ
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAeZs5PLXhfS
"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAv4sOaBM7kB
"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZmshPqHUWb
I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAiB6U5G6Rdn
"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1179Please respect copyright.PENANABv8ABotBap
"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPY8BZFiRsB
"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZza1baSIkY
I dashed over to the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfiLNGprlh6
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVu5GPGdsG6
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1179Please respect copyright.PENANADoiEF8SkzB
It was now 10 PM and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfb7KXxw7So
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMS8LL7217s
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwJAFqmDmJp
they were right now.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdwzElcbnyV
"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyUPBsVegg1
"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHn7AKsKIde
"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzUCzCqV7vb
"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1179Please respect copyright.PENANALGiz7ytiUP
"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAjz2YzDtgUZ
"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAndytp1sNTr
"True."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFQbnU8REIT
We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAL5IzLKARRN
Two bell boys came out 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXrSpa7ZwxS
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXjY08jyrUO
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAkyXZqH8m7n
"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMfVFi23kpH
There were so many gift 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqHqy2nXZA3
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA485isE4862
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1179Please respect copyright.PENANASbQEyDwXJZ
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAh6FauoPWg2
so pissed.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXs63ZuG1tK
"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1179Please respect copyright.PENANARXqTjBvHjS
"They are downstairs," he answered.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwMyz7PQqLE
After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVP8w0xZS1W
When the doors flew 1179Please respect copyright.PENANALPpZa5UqUC
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfxJkKtNOwp
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWkTb5X1uhY
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmScqTSVx4U
"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5O2ivwu2PM
"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAY8oNreVzaC
"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1179Please respect copyright.PENANABrBA1DeXhk
As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWxw9IXKbfp
"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVVJFonQgST
"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8wjwg90udL
"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAcxNt0m92U9
"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2qCjwjP9ej
"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9t3qhCAHSj
Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWsTzBOoVIV
I raised an eyebrow. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzpKjqzxP8h
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1179Please respect copyright.PENANARYaG2Z4sbY
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1179Please respect copyright.PENANASWE6fqgwIz
"Okay. Enough," I said as I shook off Zoey and Christine away from me. "Can someone please tell me why you're acting like this?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANASAKfg1HDz8
"Everyone just missed 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAcY4sVb6Wiz
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIcv8eu7HLh
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAn0u4BITrUO
I rolled my eyes at him,1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVwox87TVs6
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzFlmggj11v
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZqCiadAeN
face when I hugged him.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7parWRwmHT
"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1179Please respect copyright.PENANADgwLEHaFXC
"Wait! You missed TOP 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtlTiXYXKgs
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1179Please respect copyright.PENANAE8KEbaF1hX
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAap9fqncE0k
I always loved it when 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAW6Ac9HTfl6
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgmS2zMpcHh
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1OF1lh6yD
"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1179Please respect copyright.PENANABUX4pNCCLd
For a moment, that voice1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9IISMLELVi
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhv8p1U4nxl
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1179Please respect copyright.PENANAv5EfSMKc9R
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANArtiwsumGL2
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYGXXCMtjdA
he was still acting the same way he had left.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAKTUVRMMFFs
I was really confused. I1179Please respect copyright.PENANADI8p44gNs8
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3SoRcGBk43
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAH7p3qcpZ1P
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2wS4yqmMTc
personal and it had to do with me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9rzRQ4y9Uz
I had no other choice 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxqswXfLymz
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9U1IUsik4a
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1QcNl72hxt
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4rgs7Ao6cs
"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJuDILxal9C
By the look on his face,1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqGDkyufy3D
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYgVoKuBgVA
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAabOuNA9qUJ
going to end pretty tonight.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAiDKaYl2xm1
"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIcOZDOj1Hs
"Ya, I did."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYVFDFD7F3U
"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEwH88D52sC
"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyRBco2tkOA
"Can't wait to hear it,"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAl3DkHoAs5o
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAG2uHSVUj6K
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAc3X1HhPJG4
"Anything for you, 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7SAAnwDynm
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZupau3SEaW
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAcPAcJSVvCw
look at Zoey.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYs2wjzGnIb
"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAp7fZtnk6et
"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1179Please respect copyright.PENANANPnljtojbe
"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQiX8Vrj1XW
After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3CJZltCYnI
"You know Collins is 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGlXQ5CVFEb
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2DK1jQK98g
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1179Please respect copyright.PENANApNNfLz4Tal
floor.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAcUWQeeOPp9
"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1oBIHRO6ue
"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAej2zMIPjxT
"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGkNmcwOQjf
I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5iwaYBdkkA
"We better sort out all 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAjflziRHZph
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAK2I4ebSNLU
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1179Please respect copyright.PENANApNgq4fKU5S
floor.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVwyRd7l3xK
Sorting out all the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANADsClyjbxs8
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7OGk9ss1En
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQn0KMPnB07
had really bought a lot of stuff.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfqEe7buqO4
The boys had brought a 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAumeu6xgswV
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9PhjvzUPXJ
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAi1kvfK4tdD
expensive designer shoes.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8AduMkTfxk
As for Zoey and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIYxRHkbK8g
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoNiG6aRC5r
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAg8NBpAndiN
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4p9KTt22IZ
"G-Dragon was helping me1179Please respect copyright.PENANALIbETwCy0n
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmUUgM6o9Hi
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbgCGtIBwdW
"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAV3s0wdXPkV
"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAkteMEYZOSc
We were sitting on the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANADc8qYPzccm
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvvOiMvtdnp
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAu4HbAPQKgb
stuff with Collins' too.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvqmtvMOb5i
"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhnL7xmsV8U
I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1ziIV6VsIl
"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFMxDSsY1OV
"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0g25Po88uD
"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1179Please respect copyright.PENANALkGNpyuT6O
"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtrrlTx0s3R
"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6snt53W6Qb
I distributed the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAnvRbawOb5h
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvJMHcf8lXR
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbPUGrtn1zr
was meant for me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANADXlQU5pefU
"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1179Please respect copyright.PENANADeOV9X3NeC
"Don't worry about it," I said as I walked over to her. "We will find it tomorrow. We can't go through all these right now."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsvhLdiJQPl
"Ya, you're right," said Zoey. She had a gloomy look on her face. I could tell that she had bought that gift with lots of love.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAROiIU8OoB1
"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1179Please respect copyright.PENANATaNhbrcoS3
When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdWZR1ZtwEt
For a moment, time 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA66hk1BMpUq
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEpvXExwQuH
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVRVGXevgYV
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4wtIdaBw6Q
mess.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAY2frJYYWGv
"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAby8huTXjLg
"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAaxIvrmYta4
"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPYSknLjbht
"Hide," Zoey whispered.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAs0gEkzLDmN
For me, it kind of felt 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAeN9X9UT2Q0
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGYYJYgniTV
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1179Please respect copyright.PENANADNCnrkrrm0
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0ptVCjZ4zG
When Collins came to the1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9IG15H14wA
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhXHPUwR2vj
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1179Please respect copyright.PENANAnNG7sLKroG
he just couldn't.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7g0YidcWnt
"Hey, Collins," I said.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWWrPHIu48B
"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIZREdNhOND
"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAq2Askiyc5j
Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1179Please respect copyright.PENANABi150JxDsD
"Thanks."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAy56NxPmShD
"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5mBaPQ1gS
"Who?" I asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHlS2iE9bzG
"You know who I'm talking about."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAihId0hHtTr
"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAISY6NbuQBH
"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAt3IWboIzLF
Collins went over to the1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqj10MAJaDk
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhwTR7G9wIB
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0vaTrHL3QX
up at him.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAv5zR3cF0Il
"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUAz87HDkDF
"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsmQvW6ILJP
Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAob0T7a9qVD
"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3tYhibb1ch
"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfv57XSCP0m
"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAlBBsMQI4Ac
"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1179Please respect copyright.PENANANHNxqsZINA
"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAAh2yp7ex2Y
"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAj9BuixSBNN
"Ya, most of the stuff weren't bought by us, you know? If it came to the designer clothes, it was all from Chanel," said Zoey.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAAewYf30glJ
"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1qducTPXaL
"Here, we brought you an1179Please respect copyright.PENANAS4a03F9Yl6
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3R1B3tN3z
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9vgh61n0jP
"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAF3UFrjDWHA
"Thanks," said Collins, 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUXUmMZp75M
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0iuiBlT8HC
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvybTAp6Ee5
Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJP6354Zxh9
"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmjbwcRjxit
Lee was right. Collins 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAalGJPmwwDZ
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXrUpo392PM
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ2UQ7mEfP
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZsmILQrr8h
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1HLoNCtGNV
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAodXl4ubwmh
"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1179Please respect copyright.PENANALOfdLHtI7X
We continued sorting out1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvfBa6d7fFa
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMgGLectMlj
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWit2Ldaa2J
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsIDwgRz6st
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoP9gZGCOQO
already too late and we all needed to rest.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXRDB8wsBiL
We hadn't managed to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoDuaGrxbpB
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQdI0O3kgtP
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1179Please respect copyright.PENANAACwhA1kCmy
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1179Please respect copyright.PENANATLFg2vbyrt
course.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPjvNuyC2aN
When we were all done and had retired to our rooms, Zoey quickly pushed me into the room when I was just coming into the room.1179Please respect copyright.PENANANF179tdJhU
"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAlydNgmVaDf
Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUAm55PEV3O
"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFb9R3GOW8i
"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfttUYdmZPz
I looked at her with an 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6uRaHGLw3V
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAezywZB1zrb
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzo4x1kBqIx
"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbC13OwwR0i
"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzauE1KSdh0
"Fine?" I looked at 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdZNy8WOlSo
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAX281TwTMmG
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAt6XWm2zYqz
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4N97llr91f
"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZK9bsVeian
"Tell me, please!" I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2GkWzEzF3m
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1179Please respect copyright.PENANAG917icg8E1
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVUfTNPQEYr
tell me something. So tell me!"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtRrNvzl3nQ
"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAl6r5zw0Xqq
"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqIN2MGVkzp
"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2ClQJR16ew
"Hello! Earth to Zoey!" I snapped my fingers in front of Zoey's face. "You look so lost. Please tell me what's bothering you."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtYssfi6YLC
Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAP1E6DSLWOs
I felt really excited 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAh31N1wBUVP
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1179Please respect copyright.PENANADrYkV2yKqS
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAanjbSQmsZl
"I don't know how I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANACQafB1c953
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAh8OTY05Aht
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1179Please respect copyright.PENANAnbA5QVcPSy
Tower."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbk5Y15gTUJ
"Ya, I saw the picture. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIff586yjB4
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtLeYsa7VLn
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8EyYhuPrxz
"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAs88mMgwFnV
"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0dMI5W2ume
"So we got to the Tower and we were having a good time as usual." Zoey paused as she licked her lips. "Then something happened."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6143r2SIsG
"What?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAspPVGwM1Ad
"When we got to the top 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJw4g9FxbRK
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXRiLJcsNmE
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4WoM2VJ59
others had left and it was just GD and I."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAf2QRhQlek2
My eyes grew wide. I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWoAgFseNsw
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0XyBgJdEAT
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1179Please respect copyright.PENANASayEOe0BW3
"You two kissed."1179Please respect copyright.PENANALX805w7HtO
"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZ15pECd4Xw
"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1179Please respect copyright.PENANASqDMAWcgWB
"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAj0KPPiIs6h
"Well, you were in one 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAH1BVn6uNU9
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwiWxh7ymhu
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFa30AZrHyD
"Smart."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqBNtYk91N4
"Thanks. So, how was it?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdWKVRgbOOq
Zoey smiled like a fool,1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYsddxMTuP8
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3An9p8dgX
it was so magical at the same time."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAt5doSkkCmA
I couldn't help but 1179Please respect copyright.PENANANQhMfVrII8
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyj6gAaHlrp
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAaiM9dPLPqD
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAu6isj0snWQ
everyone at the prom.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0jLT02t6iu
"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1179Please respect copyright.PENANACdwp7RzIa6
"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAiXna0W4y4e
"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAaUEkpWyv0u
"And? Anything else? 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQjGfIJ30Mf
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMG9GX05VS0
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWtgjGEFPGd
"When we were on top of 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxZGqTZNSa7
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1179Please respect copyright.PENANATYjY6SPd3s
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAD4zwOXIjte
Well that's a bummer. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9rkYF9F03i
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2EqOdNpqOM
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAKzeFunBtnX
really liked Zoey and not me?1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9z39lxeJIk
I brushed that off. Why 1179Please respect copyright.PENANApNuLxPnpYe
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzsU4q07nmH
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1179Please respect copyright.PENANAO84uinbDsQ
hopes up with it.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPPDEzyricS
"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAL3u64codqw
"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAH227X12bHE
"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3xpMel8cRf
"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMQjRWOrbtw
"Thanks, Sam."1179Please respect copyright.PENANASSFzVNBsH9
"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVSbycRPRVg
"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWfDQuUnyrL
I left Mr Panda on the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANADhtJFH3ufA
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1XHPClkbwH
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1179Please respect copyright.PENANApwaZ3NtaT7
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA57Y1HCDIE5
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqYRAa5snbU
"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzu7P9Pg8EE
"Good night," she replied. She turned to the other side to flip the switch beside the bed on the wall and the room went dark.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6HhFCc6M3C
I laid my head on the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwGzpTq1fEL
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANALHx2jULFWk
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFFm8kDixme
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAonDrdL158E
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEXmsyoW5Ct
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxrYMLXjG1a
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqU9kWfrdaZ
have been.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbyMILEGs2C
Zoey would have only 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4DiFfDvF5c
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA488bJuIsbc
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdGyA45EwBf
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9CVUINMfoU
To be honest, I was happy for Zoey. And when I heard her giggling again, I realised that I wouldn't want to hurt her.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAss4WImOmjq
I pulled Mr Panda closer1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfGSneK8WDq
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgInEdxZDjK
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhW202bOfi7
***1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPb5s9tG8hs
I was given a round of 1179Please respect copyright.PENANATeQRWLSaIu
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvfWcC9Bp9P
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1179Please respect copyright.PENANARlSzgicl27
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1179Please respect copyright.PENANABtplVtEWHp
"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFnGaEq1xeP
"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsLXyDcMxR3
"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJOMSSNw94U
"Then you better eat 1179Please respect copyright.PENANANr0ax8FWiS
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhKoSFbApvJ
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA88l4Tfxf2k
We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA93xJimqXwp
"I can't wait for us to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANALJUkP6yyLY
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyl72dsGWfw
beside me. I could only tell why.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbNI74dJC8N
Christine who sat 1179Please respect copyright.PENANASr3mfv08LH
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOfQ5mgah82
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAb4UXMWlnmF
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1179Please respect copyright.PENANANtoqxfBqTx
and G-Dragon.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAi1tNhMXNbj
When we were done 1179Please respect copyright.PENANALDnUcQsbvF
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAypIMmyRuNi
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvn8fOLWeLj
"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVcCnvp0dGn
"What is it, Zoey?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJFTKZ3QfqC
"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAAgyP0DJyX3
Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3e1QxcPNPs
"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAz82tRElGH6
"That's the problem," 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAF78CyZEzz0
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAED4vcrcchy
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1179Please respect copyright.PENANACH0Y4GfRbt
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfPLyYnlpjL
Mike turned away and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAx9lk41uxbX
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAjes4LfH3iG
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAq1o2n5o6mw
something?1179Please respect copyright.PENANAogT0K6Cc03
"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAKSTaS1f2Uf
We agreed with Christine1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyjjEBkcSsd
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqg4a2ziCHi
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1179Please respect copyright.PENANADqA8PGmF8Y
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1179Please respect copyright.PENANADqUgUwktch
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3FSbPhqYoZ
"Hey, how are you," said G-Dragon as he came and gave her a hug. I bypassed them heading to the couch sitting next to Daesung.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxMBBZ3mh50
"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA31dL1iKhWg
"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ft58LoUgM
"I also feel like I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0qygsrjyel
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANABeWvQ8tdhc
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAowu3yengZj
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwejuhGGnTO
"Do you think we should 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAY0oUm0xrbl
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYnr1ZJawXY
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAeQSHQ52xaI
"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1179Please respect copyright.PENANArZ9IqfnpvK
"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAY5eYyWAmpN
"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8rKcgN4TmO
"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmkxKfl4Xww
I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsUnW5I0Jh9
"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHi1yOWC2PT
"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1179Please respect copyright.PENANADfMRHGvkEE
Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9f9R1d9fVu
I stood up from the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYsFu5Ewbai
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzpM51mrB6b
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAg0t4v0c91y
conversation.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAiArdjQkJu1
When I went back, I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZV6xC8vTlv
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAb3JTTNLjKY
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1wOPsY31v
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfVyf6nwr8r
"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6LGlqGQZ65
"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdRgPfHieEc
"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZrZ48MajCb
"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAjQMuF4KNYD
"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJwIwl2XRsa
"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvg2o4VOKet
"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAihHQZY0fIX
G-Dragon gave me a weird1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsPZ1JgDxXK
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVsKeULNY4M
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0bEX86lhDo
took their place on the couch.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEHQ0K89mwD
"Christine and Daesung, I1179Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ3n7OBOJL
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUe7hgjzWF9
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1xJN5PDmvG
"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEnKcLG4VcY
"Ya, we will sing the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAWKpeb8ZW4a
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3HNzKcapkb
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAb0huwtkdqr
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1dSe2r48kV
producer has the lyrics printed out."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOYOs8RbTzl
"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbvIHnYFRbt
I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXM8iOSETlo
Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1179Please respect copyright.PENANANp3gz06TwD
Then we all went over 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA47PlEs5s12
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA30Ih98vajN
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAS4JM30s5pm
"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAs7xjRiCTGj
"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1179Please respect copyright.PENANALd1UuWRE9c
"Me too," said TOP.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbHIBHu5uzN
"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEnIySrxrTt
"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8XypQ352R
I didn't look up at him 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsAbEZeGj6y
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1FhzNDK5id
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9h0SD0WDow
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAE1Nzmn4K5a
"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoihYk5CBAb
I started to relax my 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAg68gGjAMis
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAt09zeW3Tew
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAke9QLWJrPa
"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAS49A4WYeEF
"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoYh9faTXN9
G-Dragon came to sit 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7In87EMYxh
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA06bAt9AwKs
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhdWKmakWO4
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAf4woVcsQM0
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwfwA8RfdIW
"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAb32EHEBB9V
"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAswliGLKrKe
G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAAGBGZuGYA2
"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxnsC9VPVDY
"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvKJWTXfWNb
"Really?" the music producer asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdQzV6daIyF
"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoa1iCWHado
"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJrzrP6GNFi
"Give him a chance, 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEHoSAzv1RL
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJVSAdeNPEs
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbOdnk1txph
headphones and put them on.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHU9g1wAafi
"Okay, this is 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAeVKa987baz
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAeflEqV08Om
join them and see what needs some changing."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1p5SczQcFl
I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPYI5Ughdtl
"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA67dpqa75LU
"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1179Please respect copyright.PENANATHZ0xewCNf
The others looked at me 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHWaPDSWtuj
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVQvmmGI9FS
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqrYhDG7q7H
"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAjWbGpKsk7V
"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAj79IhFWxdo
"That's going to be a 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbpX9so8bvo
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5q5pAFTOEW
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1179Please respect copyright.PENANArXLSufE8yF
"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUt9ntYujcp
Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQqXigeU08o
"Okay let's go through the song," I said as everyone nodded their heads and sat on the couch and I went over to get the guitar.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxbbZUTv9wl
I looked over at Zoey 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtRUq21YvQd
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMDsdmZtYhX
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHO2ZGCj2yj
I put a stool in front 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAm3BepYQLT0
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmLVzVpbGEk
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtNqWRJseiL
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1179Please respect copyright.PENANARF6I1kNxsh
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA34P3HhcWUt
others.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgSsbNrcRcp
"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGD8fBKZ0Pj
Taeyang and I sung the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAt2vAANonHZ
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIUQ9fL5w5P
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1179Please respect copyright.PENANARYDM6IuuUd
great and everyone cheered.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQsrsNhhTkA
"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdd06H1iY5g
"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGUJRFPYcBq
"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVZGHWBoAmd
TOP started to rap the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAA20JHi7pXi
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAAwWCk4szE2
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoGOw1koZEb
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsLWBzhViio
Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAeWmYYx6HtB
"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgOJPG0HI0S
"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1179Please respect copyright.PENANACNGqsqSD2l
"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFmL5kHswRD
Daniel and Seungri sung 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9bxIgf0ar0
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAH4DvW75glK
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzf9KOKazA8
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAnbcGKXvODX
clapped for themselves and cheered.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAjIQ2sgPrX8
"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAKxKg1T3DN4
"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4oqAKM5NRz
I almost fell off the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANApZ26CIaGhD
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPeu7mR9cC6
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAiX1jzRO8BQ
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAL05YSpFjT8
We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAz7Sic3Ss06
"I have to say, you all 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1vuFDygurK
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1179Please respect copyright.PENANActteDx6h3r
smile. "Keep up the good work."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbpGg1AWrb5
"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAcaciKK8pNI
"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAg6cmYx4xSb
No one said anything. We1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvHqr2rCeix
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAuBsp7M4Bgr
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANANyOU5iJ8n2
talking.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA41YtBkEOdl
"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYpodV8bRqo
"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9qp4jLjl40
That, I couldn't answer.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvKR3kEGmme
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5mW7rW7fRG
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPD4pTyThn1
"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtV3UwLzxG8
"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAl366rD9dHG
"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtD6W8IVogv
"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdMLnQ3W2vm
"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAL4aUnrsCsI
"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOLyQ4vgxTe
The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzZuBJGjqge
"I want them back here 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIsP3yzXDV5
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAbRecVHSE39
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyrbBpLIMV0
I gulped as I felt the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXEqPu9V10j
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6yUsfKiwoJ
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQvSCNqA2vh
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAH70Ch7Tks4
No one said anything 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPE2tDvJnsg
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAcKneU7Yo17
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXZY46LH2ku
"Where could they have 1179Please respect copyright.PENANARVVe7x83w3
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgfSnANqWo2
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAblXuseKkxK
"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVNmXvV7wAL
"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsGgww8m7I7
"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgfnJdSDBOf
"Then we better start 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAk1PGdn3f3s
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZ39AMIfYjQ
looking for them will be difficult."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXGZRBKCoGV
We all agreed to split 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfXFzDWUj9H
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1179Please respect copyright.PENANAehWcoq5Iam
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3HmXRqWFfd
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdEn2iGJSqs
All the studio rooms 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2W1CvzCptv
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJPSg9j6VlC
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYAL5nKZe52
"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfqFiSlJ4aU
I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGaOzcU70Rg
"Almost fifteen minutes."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAA40RpwWonU
"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vx2j2Ji3o
He nodded and pulled out1179Please respect copyright.PENANAuowjjNR3t8
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsYqJx14AK0
walked out of it and came towards us.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoiy4jdaeV7
"Anything?" Daniel asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA11RagMr741
"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxKCEynRxbQ
"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhSYxpgJAkE
"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7nVFUVbGvr
I looked at the time on my watch. We only had fifteen minutes and Yang Hyun-suk was going to kill us all if we didn't find them.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8iOrUhSNQ7
"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6BMwD3LqQ
"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAf0FJkgJuhH
"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7aCIeAgLoA
"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANADCxiV3zW6p
"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFOIco3FxGT
I hadn't said a word 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAAXnorwyFwY
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1179Please respect copyright.PENANANXqhBT9n9F
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOjfqYw6OIE
but worry.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1aE9YP5cmH
"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsTlheSqOkn
"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAF66la8H8fZ
Daesung motioned his 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7PZhWgdMzc
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1JFsxD7b4T
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5Uc59nOil0
"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zy0ufhku9
Taeyang and the music 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0NhUbrglTB
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmW20TpEdlM
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ6yBKpWe5
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFg8NHGpX0J
and angry at the same time.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0tGbOl7tP6
"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAAVXPn1hdvP
I looked over at Daesung1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQB4lg95ciV
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9TMTitM5EH
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYMDM5DETHI
the play button.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAuPnmg6H4S8
***1179Please respect copyright.PENANARmJQojJq0a
"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFkyaRrjWMN
I came crushing back 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmOHN3zUPW7
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzF75sf5nq7
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAugCSWFjqea
I had so many mixed 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAenpTAJntCQ
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAepijlqrniN
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAD2fwMFMon0
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmhxRNlxala
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGqja6pJ8bl
I could tell that the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAa5rWYfTtqU
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVYbJL53vvd
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAb7Jy4Ceud3
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1179Please respect copyright.PENANADnQ8LJ9EXM
"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwgim1F1wR9
"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzzZ7zNAuMO
"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAGFN1STtGBV
"They went out without taking you guys along?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ607hLobj
I folded my arms and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAICXffikk7C
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhY2gngK4b4
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1179Please respect copyright.PENANASI98MqN4JD
"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAELObj1lRCw
"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAlmlsgxCrIX
I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1179Please respect copyright.PENANALmgzurB6AW
"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAiu6IIxfTAd
"No, we haven't heard it yet."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhUvBhBTwZX
I could feel the others 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPMri2e8ued
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAY3joFyXvIT
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqmmdzYARPq
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ0IuXQT5b
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoq74C3UkKm
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1179Please respect copyright.PENANACQPRRcoswj
"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUzDINsTdsS
"Okay." I nodded my head.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAky5gbKQv0L
When Yang Hyun-suk left,1179Please respect copyright.PENANAAzyawfaS0W
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFgmU3Pb7Cg
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAvZ2aSyBSVO
"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyfkSTygzkH
"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHRMMP7E1C4
"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAi52Bkiay5v
"Not until I hear what 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0KN3y3lJUX
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3xBaVS0jw
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdL7NkRAQlK
trying to calm down.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZmpeYT1WuA
"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAW9boh4wpVr
"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAX8t3qji43O
"So that we could get 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEcSvX8QXtn
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMSvCMApTL5
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAkV9U6OIrOK
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1179Please respect copyright.PENANARrDG353S6X
"I agree with Sam," said1179Please respect copyright.PENANACDso6O4Jhd
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAg2VHdzo5OX
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1179Please respect copyright.PENANALoLSZrX5Wo
"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANASnQ9R6WxfG
"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAI68HmbRJ30
The rest of the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAKatxwAHZq0
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAq4EnXi5uKd
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAa7OwdtSX8K
playing cards.1179Please respect copyright.PENANArAvZscX6t7
I was leaning my chin on1179Please respect copyright.PENANA43MNzZmIiR
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5mylC4HgoY
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAs6Cm90r26o
especially to me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtK3ywlPRGd
Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1179Please respect copyright.PENANAS8GlLyGt4y
I suddenly sat upright 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVK5e5OeKo2
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8Lz9vq1zJb
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1179Please respect copyright.PENANARejyg1ASFO
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1179Please respect copyright.PENANApfiZCy9bYT
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1179Please respect copyright.PENANApRBGCRdoHt
"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsllwQcTtxS
"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7dHiSHBwO2
"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgnHOkGBtXk
"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzIhxgxLMXm
"Maybe we can just order1179Please respect copyright.PENANADacutVqg1k
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAaVVYjCyaWz
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZTU2F93luP
"Good idea," said TOP. "Let me tell her right now." He pulled out his phone and just when he was about to call, Lee came in.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgaFp4sTJPR
"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtnCvlnPt1k
"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYkMaaZeVlB
"I heard that Zoey and 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHeXtu8CoxP
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsEfQFMv5cm
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1179Please respect copyright.PENANANJk3J3uO9Z
"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2XNmFoqtUx
"Then it's a good thing 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyC4uZHWnrj
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAueN1zmCaeG
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ5oaBCdlm
Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAU5BZo2gYC2
"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1w9v5jVE7R
Everyone soon dropped 1179Please respect copyright.PENANATIfod64Hok
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1179Please respect copyright.PENANADcDHJ79X9y
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxdG644f2Oe
I had never eaten pizza 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAUWj01Rz5L5
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0i9LuX9cFY
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4l3UTPER5f
We were done finishing 1179Please respect copyright.PENANALLXXyQruMU
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1SjBkfMm0d
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAul3iOUECPl
"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAK60GmgkokM
"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgj18erutLV
We were huddled up on 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAkShF85AI3S
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4UONig4TPH
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1179Please respect copyright.PENANANOPjMM3OfR
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAES5dAKi67s
"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAo60B0LzE31
"You lied? About what?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtt9QNUixzf
"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsoZFeAvjky
"But why?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAp6eLC1LqrM
"Because, I had no choice. I want to know why GD did this. It's best we know and see how we can move forward."1179Please respect copyright.PENANASgdj0Vp8AK
I finished my slice of pizza and licked my fingers when Lee asked, "don't you think he just did that to get back at you, Sam?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4UcQcIkV9q
I didn't expect Lee to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIEBUXD4hZY
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAC3ujQAgVBu
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1179Please respect copyright.PENANANnIqi3J0Kr
"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA56FEYGlCp9
"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9FqldS086R
I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmps4dp78KY
"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyT7hQIVHwn
I stood up from the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAltzSRf4t5y
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1179Please respect copyright.PENANACPeajFZc8A
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA1it6VBNFRy
later.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgzBAiSA3dX
Trying to find the right1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhW2kIPcdW3
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAp76PgnWEWK
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAuOtF1cWeuo
what for, was the question in mind.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAp22fMUnF9f
"Aren't you going to 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwULLuMybAb
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAaIbG1uLRXl
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdYQ7H86YgL
"I doubt it," said TOP. "I was here with them when they were writing the lyrics and the two of them looked fine to me."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAL0FBxin5ki
"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANASfPxzxOkJu
I looked at Lee and she was looking back at me with a scared look on her face. Using my eyes, I told her not to say a word.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAaoY0wIRmsc
Lee went on to look at 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAchIcE61Kbj
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAuQs4VGRFxD
just thought they might be arguing again."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAxAuzRwImmS
"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfD3KRraMs5
"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAONCsR7JnHj
"I don't even know what 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAALpvdSQhey
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3Mcb3vGzzJ
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAkoHj79LMOq
"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFmONkyZC6H
No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhTF3Flb4o4
"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAa5G6nO7BLP
"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFYEqfqEkaj
Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAndB4UvHO2E
It only took five 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA4vVA9GekU0
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1179Please respect copyright.PENANALizWYU0vv8
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAsqGYOREavQ
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAtO4TLCql3n
"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAT2YLyYfKVP
When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAhpdk5Z1hCF
Still, no one said anything. It looked like no one was ready to throw the dice first. I cleared my throat and looked at Lee.1179Please respect copyright.PENANASwLinJ4Lzn
"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAeqVs2Z0HMI
"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAw3F96D73Sq
"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ3ZbJys0B
"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOy0eT3JCE9
"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEZrj2qWXc4
"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFnCihgYmIh
"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAmT33a8J92I
"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAAGyXH759bc
I tried to keep my tone down and my anger in check but I was boiling inside. Any minute now, I might just blow my head off.1179Please respect copyright.PENANABpFVkckygI
I was expecting an answer from G-Dragon but all he did was look at me. I kept on coming closer, my eyes not leaving his.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pr05u9fD6
"Why did you this?" I asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAMLqY7idFte
"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1179Please respect copyright.PENANApY1tpsRO2f
"If you didn't like it, you should have just said so and all of us together would have figured something out. Not what you did."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAyLXXuSBngP
When I got closer to them, I took out the USB drive from my pocket. I took G-Dragon's right hand and placed it in his open palm.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwjF629Dw57
"The instrumental is in 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA768tuI1PCT
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA3b8jtDc9Uq
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAjUESWoZ1Sw
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5QJiUAMnGA
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHkmkRmomgc
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAJoQz6aMZ0v
pissed."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3FgqEoin6
"Wait, a minute," said Taeyang as he came up right behind me. "He first has to tell us what's happening between the two of you."1179Please respect copyright.PENANARfmrbshcI1
"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAIuvSXCDZZw
"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAoh68K25j9c
I looked at Zoey and she1179Please respect copyright.PENANABQd22HNhFo
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAXk0hDdNffT
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1179Please respect copyright.PENANArBpa1Qcib1
was mad at me for.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzZpKlLhlVU
"Now is not the right 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgVx6OHzdfE
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1179Please respect copyright.PENANAikQhum1VXI
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1179Please respect copyright.PENANALz6URZI9Mo
understand.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA36TAYvre9J
Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1179Please respect copyright.PENANApqR5ILxn1F
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1179Please respect copyright.PENANARkZFFCrsvv
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOBaPQWDMcT
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAeqOGikbwmp
"It's about time you guys got here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned towards Zoey and G-Dragon. "Hope you had a perfect lunch."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzrV0zG3vjn
I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1179Please respect copyright.PENANALRQColiumZ
"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANA22d7TacfM0
Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAplSzWG74Jk
"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAb7oMmh5sQN
"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqrMdkVeKWZ
"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAgF9nJmehiK
"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9c5Je6LlJn
I paused with my mouth 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAEPKwy4AzoG
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0npe0vvPND
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqeAbIq3PmO
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAO0y89f3OLW
I looked at G-Dragon and1179Please respect copyright.PENANAncO5Z6otsu
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1179Please respect copyright.PENANA96oggxYs9l
face wondering what he was thinking.1179Please respect copyright.PENANATqutYLPksn
"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1179Please respect copyright.PENANARvOA1jvjus
"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAfvebEzvwEU
"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1179Please respect copyright.PENANANeOpyzhgUq
I smiled and Seungri 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwPi069BRIb
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1179Please respect copyright.PENANALeUHyBixf8
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1179Please respect copyright.PENANA37FqNDrB8b
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAaXAEtsApGS
"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVw8FisZBKP
I smiled a little more. 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA8yHO8i6k5p
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFiMO7mIj17
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANATaU8m31v80
were at war again.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZnI8YoNuML
"But we can't start 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdCx7mWv1fo
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAaus33yBKkc
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0PAlEYgukE
I sat upright and alert.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA7senGWi2yn
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAeDE5CJJ6nd
have to record the track the day after?"1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqxEiPiFCc7
"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAwBBaN06Loo
"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAg91E0d21AZ
"But why didn't you tell1179Please respect copyright.PENANAqeWXponUKn
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZc82QW76re
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFDSWuaBRG5
"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAdQQkipkDzN
"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFJa7nQNmcx
"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAzXvOhStrw1
"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAOL6iuxwTJj
"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1179Please respect copyright.PENANASFu7wsUXmW
"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAKGfzO87hBR
"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAZRmtu5am1L
"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAFdIQZn1oij
"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1179Please respect copyright.PENANAKkpfYaKY2v
It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA96XTYz7zaN
The two managers and Lee went out of the room first. Just as we were about to walk out, TOP stopped me by holding my hand.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA2E3YKXQodN
I turned to look at him 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0oZXD2oJqr
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAijQFWDUxmO
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAcjEBhE9zdg
me like that.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA9XSi1SERAG
"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1179Please respect copyright.PENANANqvkG1vulY
"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA5nSJiT4TXU
"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAPOnn1hRv0X
"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1179Please respect copyright.PENANALLa833UXKA
"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAToc0gLeYQn
Zoey and the others left the room and I was the last to walk out. I didn't want to look at G-Dragon, but I did.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAVTZnlIN40J
We looked at each other 1179Please respect copyright.PENANA32kmDqCZsC
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1179Please respect copyright.PENANAYJcOPeCBGn
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAM7XMMYhGVF
Maybe he also felt the same.1179Please respect copyright.PENANA0wPNsa80jn
But I wouldn't know and I wouldn't like to know what he felt. I walked out of the studio, closing the door behind me.1179Please respect copyright.PENANAw2nDalDVv8
I then realised that I 1179Please respect copyright.PENANADyVh9GL81J
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAHJvbsH3Xs8
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1179Please respect copyright.PENANAiv3CGnh5zg
another time.
